Since you didn't want to have fun with me in a private game, I learned how to play as the Aggro faction.

I didn't want anything, I was sleeping. But today I'll be bothering someone in a private message again.

You can attack me. But only after I gather a Suicide Blood artifact, and then go ahead.

Toksa, ask him to play. Ment and I have already played. We also had a rematch with Lok.

Let him try his luck.

Who would have thought, another legendary item to which they added shorts. Perhaps this is a trend in the SV setting – everyone suddenly started wearing shorts.
I open packs and won't touch the client anymore, okay...

Hmm... It's not certain that this is a plus for a blood mage who has lost half of their healing spells in the rotation and is stuck in a permanent vengeance state. The synergy with Jormungandr and all that, of course, but I'm not entirely sure if this is a good idea.



It's a bit vanilla.



I know this sigil for a rune.



Interesting. A neutral spell that counters everything except Aegis. You can also cast it on your own units, i.e., if a rune player accidentally fills the entire board with sigils. It's okay, it's cool, but I'm not sure how often it will be used.

And they also added a bunch of vanilla options for portal crafting on the site, but I'm too lazy to copy them; they're boring.

I saw a really interesting Fortress build in a tournament that's currently being streamed, and I was so impressed that I even went ahead and built it myself. I like it, and I recommend it. If anyone is interested, let me know, and I'll share it.

Hmm... As I mentioned before, my main reason for playing SV is collecting cards, but given the trends in Sukagamez™ regarding art that started at the end of last year and continued until today, I can conclude that this game is no longer for me. I'm even a little sad that I found it during the DE era and not later – otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered with this garbage. 1. Boring meta for an entire year. One deck dominates for a month and a half, then it gets nerfed, and another deck dominates. In many cases, the approach to nerfs is absolutely idiotic (as was the case with Alice – they over-nerfed almost ten cards when it was obvious that all the problems stemmed from her). I can't even remember when I enjoyed playing anything other than the arena after DE. In DE, I was annoyed by the disshift and a little by Elany, but the meta was more or less diverse, with different classes and decks appearing with varying frequency. 2. Whale-baiting, gacha. Here, we have an anniversary, you can vote for your favorite cards, and we'll make them leaders! Some people thought they would be available for gold, but realists predicted they would be purchased with crystals. In reality, the worst possible option was chosen – either be lucky or drop $500. I'm a little sick of RNG in games, to be honest. 3. Censorship. I, like many other players, got hooked on SV because of the art. Haesik, for example, is completely uninteresting to me in this regard – I don't like the style of the cards in it at all, and that was probably the main reason why I didn't stay in it for long. Here, the opposite was true – a lot of things were exactly as I liked. But now it's not – old art is being censored with terrible edits, new art is being chosen very carefully, and with new expansions, there are more and more ugly characters and fewer and fewer attractive cards. In addition, although the company has money to commission new art (that would fit their new course), they still use old art and vandalize it in the most blasphemous way. Subjectively, Sukagamez™ betrayed me as a player and as a customer. Objectively, the game is no longer for me. In practice, I will no longer support this creation with my time or money. At least, not until they change, which is unlikely to ever happen.

I disagree with the first point; the meta has been great for the past couple of months, knock on wood. When I was climbing the ranks, I encountered all classes and got beaten by all of them. But I agree that the gacha system is poorly implemented. I was ready to spend money on Albert, but I'm not going to spend money for a chance to get him.

I agree, the meta is good right now, with different decks appearing constantly (except for Sword). I've even seen a few Necropolis players using neutral runes or Pit Trap Forest.

I saw on Reddit that people are digging up the original art and helping to replace the game files. I can figure this out and make a tutorial, for example.

Nevertheless, almost every dragon/rune that I encounter in master matches is using Dragun/Dashka: "D

And in general, Revan, did you personally want any of the new leaders?

It doesn't matter whether I wanted to see certain things or not (I did want to see some), just as the possibility of using mods doesn't change anything (they're not difficult to create). The fact is that the company is lazy and excessively greedy, and they absolutely don't care about their fanbase, which made their game popular.
And again, mods don't solve the root of the problem. The idiotic censorship that can be seen now is just one manifestation of what I'm talking about. The other side of this rusty coin is expressed in the initial choice of art for the maps. You can calculate the ratio of female characters and pay attention to the style of the images in the standard version and the DE, and then compare it to what followed with future packs. The general trend is to include more unnecessary and ugly creatures and less cool art. **I didn't start playing this game because of worms, ridiculous bodybuilders, goblins, abominations, and other freaks.

In general, a similar situation occurred in League of Legends around the transition from 2012 to 2013 when they stopped creating "hot" concepts and simply distanced themselves from them. And those who had supported the game for a long time, bought skins, etc., suddenly became outcasts and a laughingstock for the gaming community (thanks to Riot's official stance on this). That is, it's normal to milk a niche audience when the project is still small, but then you can just spit in the faces of your supporters. This isn't uncommon, but I didn't expect it from a Japanese publisher, especially not in the Japanese market. To be honest, I never thought I would be upset because of censorship.

It's funny, but I understand Revn. In the entire set, there are only one and a half decent male units and Albert, who I'm unlikely to get. At least with the female units, you can choose.
