I used to have one when I was younger where people had weird color skin and my hair wouldn't stop growing or something. Found out many years later that there was apparently a movie that was very eerily similar to the dream I'd have, and to this date I have still never seen it. | ||

Found out many years later that there was apparently a movie that was very eerily similar to the dream I'd have, and to this date I have still never seen it. I've had a few. The most impactful one started when I was pretty young and manifests usually as a nightmare. It takes a lot of different forms, but always revolves around an incredible feeling of being overwhelmed trying to understand the perspective of multiple people, even those across the world, all at once. It leaves me feeling very small afterwards. It's interesting, thinking back, how early my feelings of sonder started. | ||

Would that be genius or would that just be impossible to work into a MOBA? I wonder if it would be that different. Patch cycles almost create this with what is "in meta" anyways. Unless you're suggesting like... a yearly set of new heroes/champions or something like that. That'd be NUTS. | ||

in mtg they are fine since wizards cant update printed cards, so it's the only way to create formats of layered degeneracy, and you want at least some way to have people play a non-degenerate format. a game like HS wouldnt need to do this but they did it anyway even though they can patch degenerate cards instead to keep the game in an illusory state of accessability mobas are better off patching the whole champ pool and hope it works out, people who just want variety get (usually) custom game modes, or in LoL maybe sometimes a different game mode but only for the weekend or something, wait there are other modes? better delete dominion | ||

It's interesting but I don't think it should be made into "the way" to play. | ||

Man I'm actually interested now in what MTG limited format may be like if they didn't have to intentionally design to sell packs but instead design purely best experience in the format. | ||

I still don't understand how you're already so jaded with a game you haven't been playing all that long. | ||

Can it beat mine? + Show Spoiler + Last dream I had that I remember, my mother asked me to come over to my parents house. Why? So I can construct a two story tall recliner that is to be made out of old, fake christmas trees. It wasn't so bad, since the Rock was there for some reason to help me. So afterwards him and I go to a hotel to relax, because for some reason we had a hotel room. I guess the Rock and I are chill like that. Then for whatever reason blonde hair dark eyebrows from GoT comes in and starts banging the rock so no reason what so ever and then I wake up. | ||

but actually i meant because it is already relatively rare in sealed, but also people draft a LOT more than they play sealed so its an incredibly tiny % overall | ||

When you're adding hundreds of new cards each year, a nonrotating format has an exponentially increasing number of card interactions to keep track of, which makes it harder to balance. Fixed format size at least makes the balance problem one of fixed complexity. This is probably the real reason that Blizzard adopted a rotating standard format. Balancing the game is hard enough as is without them making the job more difficult for themselves by adding more moving parts. As far as MOBA games go, neither Dota nor LoL adds content at a high enough rate for this to be necessary. | ||

I still don't understand how you're already so jaded with a game you haven't been playing all that long. I think Numy is referring to how good cubes draft way better than retail sets due to how a cube designer doesn't have to sacrifice set design for the sake of making money off people who crack packs for constructed staples. Which isn't really wrong. | ||
