SK is still ridiculously OP
I used every scrap I had, above 10.000 to get a NR shieldwall deck, with Seltkirk, Anseis, Viraxas, Bloody Baron, Ildiko, Donimir, Amphibious Assault, John Natalis, Vysogota, Vissegerd, Egmund etc. and still it is not enough against this trash Sk deck. I still loose all my matches against it with this strong deck!? The devs are just bullies in my opinion.

Have you been watching my matches to come to such a premature conclusion? Do you think I use Anseis and Seltkirk strictly in the first round on a bronze an craite warrior or something? Do you think I'm not protecting Vysogota with Donimir? The problem is SK does so much damage and it's so difficult to stop it, because it has a majority of deploy units and a few order units so instant "random" damage, so much removal, and of course the great swords who haven't been really nerfed at all. SK has to much threats to deal with. Btw. I also play a Schirru deck and assimilate NG, won a reasonable amount of matches and you are implying that I don't know what I'm doing? You're a joke.

many units need rebalancing. Many old cards are useless. Some factions are too strong. To many cards that allow summon from decks which make cheap conter cards OP. Some 6 or 7 cards from some factions are stronger than 10 or 11 from other factions. I am skeptical they will rebalance the game, too many people got used to curent easy wins OP decks and will cry if "justice" will be made.

NR shieldwall is unbeatable, but not against everyone. Many faction will destroy them without mercy. That why, when everyone say they're now useless, NG got the easiest season ever, I guess. Just picture you could playing double ball (nice new meta :steammocking:) but with now Emprisonnement, you have Vattier and Vanhemar. Ofc Yennefer is still inside the deck with Oniro too. So glhf if Shieldwall put a card on the board.

Shieldwall is just the biggest bait from the community. When they show you the deck it look strong, but we havn't the same game. Me for exemple, my opposant play auberon r1 and get a rider who make proc the other 2 stayed inside the deck.

More than who is too strong, nerf this omg, nerf that wtf. I'm a bit scared how the game is going. Because right now, it feel it's not only a meta, but the whole game who have a probleme, and it's a bit scary when there is no mind game in the game, it's just about the one who has the most retarded deck. But I'm sur the time will be the solution, devs are not overreacting like most of us and are looking. Because in those kind of game, they have to be patient, and simply look if players don't find the solution by themself.

Nah mate, you're the joker here. Feel free to post your stats and compare yours with mine. (we can see whose the real joker here).

Just because you know how to netdeck doesn't make you a good player all in all. Yes you don't use Selkirk or Anseis first round, but when you really needed that round control to get rid of SK's TAed boat out, you would prefer to pass and let them bleed you on r2 and subsequently have nothing left on r3 and proceed to whine that SK is in need of balancing?

What makes you so special compared to the throngs of rank 10's to rank 15's who does this kind of thing whenever they lose to a certain deck because they didn't know they could actually wrest round control on r1 vs SK?

SK has been hit with multiple nerfs since two seasons ago and I strongly doubt they will get anymore anytime soon. SK is strong no doubt, but its not to the point of being imbalanced. Whilst I'm not able to secure my spot in the top 500's due to many try hards on pro ladder, I have 0 problems facing SK players playing netdecks on unranked with whatever memes especially those with lesser ranks than pro rank.

Playing a netdeck gives you a great competitive advantage as the decks are built rather optimally as per the current meta. However the drawbacks are its pretty easy to predict and play against for any decent Gwent player out there. (Ya know, other players also have access to the meta reports out there, right?) Pogu?

I know guys you like sometimes to debat about who and when you have to GG your opposant. So just to be clear, as SK, shieldwall player or whatever is broken, when I win the game, my GG doesn't mean I'm fair and kind. That more like throwing leftover potato to a guy who pities me. :steammocking:

btw why SK player always blood eagle my rats? do you think we are in earth life science court or what

That's usually a good sign their deck is not a Devotion deck unless they're bluffing. So expect things like Heatwave, neutrtal shenanigans, or any flavor of Geralt.

lol, I have opposite problem: I have to win with Skellige deck 3 times because of Quest and I'm struggling a lot. I can't win with fu*** Skellige deck. I'm hating Skellige...

First of all I didn't say I'll never use Anseis or Seltkirk in the first round, I said using Anseis or Seltkirk strictly on something cheap like a bronze craite warrior. I also didn't say that I always pass in the first round no matter what happens, that would be bad.

I'm a casual player who wants to have fun. I'm playing Gwent for less then half a year now and still collecting cards. I certaintly am not bothered to want to progress in rank and play competitive. So don't call somebody who hasn't played this game for too long a bad player. The fact that I maybe don't know everything yet doesn't make me trash at the game.

I also played the SK warriors, and won a lot of matches easily. I know it has been "nerfed" a couple of times but I just don't think it is enough or the right way. That is my opinion.

Like I said before and many others prior to me, netdecking doesn't make you a good player.

And I also play for fun. I don't care not landing top 500, it's easy to get to pro rank every season with so many brainless netdeckers who don't really know how to play the decks they copy off others. Start of this season, got to pro rank on Day 3 (1 day, 1 rank climb).

I just started this game in early April. That makes it a total of about 6 months. The first month I played this game I got to pro rank with a homebrewed deck. I have tons of rss in my collection (thanks to achieving pro rank for 25x RP each month).

No one can know everything. But one can obviously spend less time asking for nerfs and try to get better at the game instead of joining the hordes of newbies at thrash tier ranks and spending their time creating reddit accounts posting numberless complaints about Faction A, B, C OP, nerf this, nerf that etc.

Nothing is wrong with this deck. There is something wrong with your playing skills. :gwent_P:

Anyone recommend me good deck for Skelige. I still need to finish that silly quest (3 wins with Skelige). I keep losing.

Best recommend : Reset those 40 ores quest for 60 ores or RP instead.

Also please refrain from dig this thread or someone gonna scold us for comment with no arguments again. :steamlaughcry:

I tried to use tavern brawl to make Donimir kill Vysgota. Not only you are not able to do that, but for trying my tavern brawl I've been used by the game for deal 0dmg because I click on a grey target so I clicked on the board kekw

My apologies to cdrp for trying to counter this wonderful meta. I will not do it again, in fact I'm already playing shieldwall, make me realise my mistake was not ingame but in the lobby.
