I have this excuse I use at the start of every new season of Splinterlands: "I am losing because these fuckers rented all the legendaries again."

Mainly at the start of every season and particularly during the day UTC, every day, it always feels like no team I build is worth a damn.

How accurate that assumption is, I don't know but it sure feels like it. I have by now timed my quests to start when I get to work. So while I am setting up the machines, talking to customers who have no friends and their families have cast them out, I am also aiming to get that first win to start the clock.

Seriously if you are willfully unemployed what are you doing in town at 9am?

Pathetic Planning

I even did the effort to look at what team the other players might intend to play.

With this match:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I knew the bastard liked the Kraken thingy, although I actually do not know what the Kraken does aside from mega tank. Turns out he likes the attention.

I get rid of him soon enough but the big irritation is that stupid Halfling Chemist, it is so slow while all the others bust their ass the thing just watches the enemies fall while probably drinking pcp.

_{Blues turn to move :(}

If that archer of mine was not so slow it would have nerved the other sides attacks more often which could possibly have changed the game.

Pretty sure that is what I will tell myself. That this guy:

Cost me the game, and although his smug pcp eye-dropping ass was not in the others, I think there is collusion afoot.

All in all it took 6 losses in a row spread through the day for me to just leave it be. Usually, I would take the same team and spam matches until I get a result but I remained calm and spared my capture rate.

Because sometimes you just need a healthier backline:
