TIL nothing about Year of the Dragon will matter if they can't create a balanced game. These are games are awful.
Give them a chance.
I want to remember that the new Team 5 has been operative just since RR release, so all the messes we are suffering right now are not completely their fault.
Good post and I agree. I'm just so sour with the meta and game right now. I've invested a lot of time and money into the game and the current state just hurts my soul. I hope the new vision/direction turns things around.
Tkx Viper!!!! One pack already!!
+1 pack is only when a player advances, not for every winning match. Viper still has to win 1 more to get to the quarterfinals and earn you +1 pack.
No.
Actually, you get 1 pack anyway, even if your player goes 0-2 and is eliminated immediately.
Quarter finals - 2 packs
Semi finals - 3 packs
finals - 4 packs to both, no matter who wins.
Roger Rabbit gimme packs! :D
ugh voting for tyler was never so painful. guess im the only one who was dumb enough to vote for him LUL
me too made the same mistake as you .
Easy Viper-packs
"All aggressive lineups advance to winners matches" - that about sums it up.
Gogo Viper!
So the survivel guide doesnt even talk about the shedule of the event? :P ... Whats happening today for example? A simple pre show or does the gameplay/group stages start today? Thats really basic information I would except out of a post like this.
Yikes. There is clearly a schedule listed above. Also a link to the official post with more schedule details. For example, group stages start today. Give Flux a break, dawg.
