i finally beat slay the spire with some sort of shiv+kunai dex stacking+poison deck with icecream+multiple outmanouvres

honestly i never really care about my decks themselves all i do is go for max relics every time and then pick some cards that go with my massive stack or relics

Gotta beat all 3 bosses or win 5 total runs to unlock ascensions i believe

they are just incremental difficulty hikes that u can brag about like i'm on ascension 7 for silent (green) and 8 for ironclad (red)

Ironclad is probably stronger and easier, you'll do fin if you beat the game as Silent. Also, if you wanna be winning consistently, avoiding Elites almost entirely is the way to do it. Fighting an elite for a random relic is usually not worth the risk.

I guess that makes sense, but I love me my relics. Pretty rare that i make it through an elite fight without taking damage, but then again you heal to full after bossfights so hp aint that important.

ascension 5 or 6 makes u only heal like 80% after bossfights or w/e

I finally get to experience pubg working for me.
Ofc I have just about every tweak one can have to avoid fps drops and shit but it seems I have been blessed with a patch that almost feels like a fully released game now.
Audio is completely fucked now but by now it's almost a part of the game to have healthy distrust for Blueballs Corp.

It's probably back to utter shit tomorrow.

rip green. Probably not as big a deal for red bc you can take normal fights and heal reliably, but that would hurt for green. I totally use hp as a resource, and heading into first bossfight with 30-40 health is totally okay.

back2back winner here this time with red boi, was pretty ridiculous deck tbh was quite the speedrun

i had almost no block (except starting blocks and block8draw1 twice)

i just had the most outrageous offensive power finished endboss in turn4 with a 129 heavy blade

some fights in t3 i won first turn

the neutral card that gives + to all ur cards is insane tbh

Coming back to dota after a pause almost always gives u a fresh mindset and most certainly improves your play if you get over the initial mechanical bumps and get into the groove again.

Basically, everyone in the UK has exams round then so no one from the ages of 15 through to 21 is gonna show up (unless not at uni). I mean I know it won't happen but 1 up vote = 1 prayer!

Anything to prompt me to go to the Birmingham Major? Havn't been to one since Frankfurt and didn't even greatly enjoy TI3... So what would be the selling point for this one? (I enjoy watching Dota a bit but enjoyed watching TI from home more than being there.)

presumably grabbing a pint with the UK boys
kollin/firebolt/etc (somebody recruit targe again pls)
also not having to watch on facebook

not saying thats what appeals to you, just that that's the only upside I can think of outside of actually seeing the games in person that u seem to not care for. It's pretty low opportunity cost if you live in Great Britain, but otherwise prolly not worth.

Didnt work for me, I lost ~500 MMR trying to figure out how pos5 works nowadays. The game actually changes a decent amount over a couple months anymore, so it isn't as easy to just pop back in.

Or I'm just old. Also an option.
