Luck = "2"

Post by bolithio »

Like you, I have a heroine level addiction to this game. Like you, my stats for this game look like the Richter Scale. Last arena, I was like why don't I ever see the top-10 players in a match? Then it hit me...its a "park-it" strategy. The swings are so gnarly if you loose 2 or 3 matches, you will likely need to win 10 in a row to claw your way back. You know exactly what Im talking about. Brutal. So thats what I did, and I was able to see myself in the top 5 for a while. Park it and play outside the arena. Yeh, Im practicing. Im doing pretty good too, I think I can start to see the tiny, miniscule 'strategies' that could get you to a higher ELO. Soon, Im like 360 ELO, keeping it steady, awesome.

...Then... I play an arena game and loose. Then I go like 2 in 40 in Arena, drop to 180 ELO and slammed way back in the rankings. That second game I won in my doom spiral...a 300+ ELO player told me I was "insanely lucky". The nerve!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Anyways, Lost Cities. Luck = "2". Get your arena top spot and park it. Just dont call me lucky.

I'll forgive "loose" but "heroine" is a bridge too far ;)

The game requires some skill, but I think it has a somewhat low ceiling. My advice: forget about your ELO.

Scrabble, words with friends, etc, are games I will not be playing, for the reasons you spell out. :lol:

And yeh, good advise.
