Low Skill Lineup - the sign of the "Wallet Warrior"

(Edited)

Good morning Splinterfriends!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed time with your families!

I've had the time to play a good number of battles over the last few days and I've done a lot better than previous seasons as I have time to become more familiar with my Decks and the Teams my opponents play.

I have made my way into Champion 2 in Modern and can't quite break into Champ 1... almost made it a few times but just get pushed back by great opponents, ruthless bots and sometimes mind boggling bad RNG...

So close!

However, all of this play time has led me to face several opponents, all ranked highly in Champ 1, who will play this particular lineup quite frequently...

I took the courtesy of deleting their name in this particular case but let me say what perhaps no one else is saying...

THIS IS A NO SKILL HAVING, WALLET WARRIOR LINEUP AND IT IS ALMOST AN AUTO WIN

The particular issue is worsened due to cost/scarcity - Heloise is super rare and SUPER EXPENSIVE... there are 100 Copies and they all cost like 750k DEC plus which is still like $450 at current DEC prices...

With that being said, none are for sale and there are none available to rent... which means...

For those who have a copy or ten - this is AWESOME... for the rest of us, this kind of sucks... a lot. Especially when you get to the 5k rating and you can win 40-50 SPS per battle... and it's a lot harder to get up there if you DON'T have access to a certain card.

I'm sure there are plenty of opinions about whether or not this type of "Pay 2 Win" is a good or bad thing... and I'm not here to discuss that or whether the card is OP or anything else.

I'm just here to state: "If you spam Heloise/Darth Squirrel, you lack skill and rely on your wallet to win you games".

Playing Heloise is fine... spamming that combo is a chump move 💩

I said what I said... #SorryNotSorry

Fwiw... I've been trying to pair HtH with Lorkus and Cryptic more often, so at least I'm not fully relying on True Strike to carry me.

Also, if you suspect HtH from the other team, there are definitely some things you can do to counter it. Play as much armor as possible. Play units with Life Leech to bolster HP.

Sure it's besides the point that HtH spam is beating people with your wallet, but at the time the card was sold, it was a bit narrow in its application and felt like a cash grab the company needed to raise funds.

At the current $450 price tag, it is about 40% off the peg DEC price many people bought it for.
