“...I can mix them up a bit and make it more difficult for my opponents to predict what Splinter I will be playing“

This is a big part of why I’m a dragon fiend. I’m very predictable in that if dragons are an option I’ll use them over everything else unless I just absolutely can not make it work, like in a low mana match when I really need that magic buff from Alric.

Just curious. Are you opposed to bots or is it just not your thing? I once had a strong opinion on it but my hang up was resolved when I considered they guarantee I always have an opponent.

Well, that’s not the whole truth. It also helped that vcdragon started offering a subscription service.

At first I felt like they were an unfair advantage, like someone bringing a grenade to a shooting range. It was like yeah man, of course you hit a target. You hit everyone’s target. Now the rest of us don’t really have anything to shoot at. But later it dawned on me that it’s more like a flight of drones and we get to shoot at them, too. I’ve got enough redneck in my blood to appreciate shooting at some asshole's drones out of the air.

Now I’m the asshole. Come at me. 😁👊
