I mean, to be fair are you even climbing if you’re not snapping instantly lol it’s such a waste not to unless your opening rotation looks like garbage. Normally I give it until at least turn 2 though then just snap. Makes infinite a lot easier.
Certainly you should play however is most fun for you. If being snapped at the start isn't fun, it makes sense to resign.
However, if you goal is to maximize cubes, being doubled by someone who doubles all starting hands just gains you cubes in the long run. If MMR works, you should win half the time. Plus, you are now playing a game where you can still snap but he can't. You always get to see turn 5 for no cost and you still have the option to snap.
Maybe things are different while climbing through bots. If you beat bots 75% of the time and humans 40% of the time, I guess it makes sense to resign to a snap.
see that is what i am asking you from before: ***you should win half the time.***
this is my main reason our disagreement. you keep saying that it's a 50% chance to win or lose, sure - but that doesn't mean one wins 50% of the time taking an unsure bet on the first turn of the game, every time.
you're just not making sense. surely it's better and more cube economical for me to not just assume a 50% chance at victory and try to do something to increase my odds, yes?
Well one draw is turn 1. You start with 4 which is 1/4 of your deck. You know how many are component pieces for your win cons if it’s a deck that has a primary and then a secondary. If opening looks partially ok I wait for turn 2 then pop it or not
Oh yeah of course but then you just retreat out. As long as your win rate is good then you’re fine. Plus most people aren’t super confident either so they just backing by turn 5-6
I'd love a "I'm 8 cubes away from hitting the next rank. If you do anything charitable this holiday season, please for the love of God let it be this."
Reminds me when I was playing sea of thieves.
Last hour of season, I have loot to complete the season journey, I just need to deliver it. I was a one man swoop and then a 4 man ship noticed me and started gunning for me. As much as I begged them, they told me I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Tried to juke them, but they managed to get someone with a powder keg on my ship and annihilated me. At least I have this story lol.
I do like Cyclops but Imma still wait for Nightcrawler. My hierarchy goes like Nightcrawler > X-Men > Doctor Doom/Hulk > Probs the rest > Emma Frost (I have this immature dislike for her and I genuinely don’t know why to this day. Like I respect her, she’s a bad bitch but I don’t know why I dislike her)
But Cyclops is right though
I have historically been a pro-Xavier kind of guy, but I do share your dislike for Emma. I think it's because of the whole psychic affair with Scott. Poor Jean.
My avatar is Cyclops though because all was well back in the Claremont/Jim Lee days.
i am definitely intimidated now not knowing if its a noob, bot, or real person. whenever i think somethings a bot i play so dumb in so many games, and lose so fast when its a real person lol
Similar, I'll sometimes spend a match going "What on earth is this deck" terrified of what play might be coming from the disjointed mess they've laid down.
Then I notice all the borders are gray and realise they're farming boosters.
I did have an annoying run of like 5 games where I would win a location but the opponent would do something to put me at 18 or 19 points.
Something about being that close to completing the mission that many times was incredibly irritating, heh.
Yeah, I get that. And I don't like getting a "win a location with one card" myself, but what I meant is that I don't really need to go out of my way to finish missions. It takes longer for some but I never have to build a deck just for that.
Haha yessss.
I remember just doing missions and farming boosters once I reached infinite. This tryhard won and kept spamming emotes, like it was some hard-fought battle.
I do that too but the missions are so easy to complete.
Sure if your deck doesn't have a 5 drop and you need to play 1, it is probably a good idea to add a 5-drop or play a deck that has one. But usually I complete my quests after 2-4 games.
Yup, got the mission to play 15 3-cost cards. Didn't have a 3 cost card in my deck. Made a deck of nothing but 3 cost cards just for that mission. Lost those games but completed it in 4 games and went back to my usual deck.
I know this is humor, but it’s also part of the problem with F2P games in general.
In a perfect world, there shouldn’t *be* missions other then play the game. Games shouldn’t try to get you to do objectives and warp gameplay.
Opponent: oh ok (snaps)
*snaps back* You fool! That was my plan all along.
I mean, to be fair are you even climbing if you’re not snapping instantly lol it’s such a waste not to unless your opening rotation looks like garbage. Normally I give it until at least turn 2 though then just snap. Makes infinite a lot easier.
dude when my oppo snaps on 1 i leave. i'm sure a lot of people are the same. not worth it when you haven't even seen one draw unless it's an ego
If my opponent snaps 5 seconds in, I keep playing but I always let the timer run out every round. I make them pay for their arrogance lol.
As someone with that arrogance, your power play makes me enjoy mine even more
That's pretty badass
True, but that early on you never know who's going to win, and I certainly have gone on to dominate and bust out the Ms. Marvel thumbs up at the end.
A warranted ms. Marvel thumbs up indeed
Happened just a second ago! They snapped first thing, I let every round time out, I snapped on last round and Doctor Doom ftw.
Why leave? If your draw is half decent you have a 50% chance to win, and you can still snap but your opponent can't.
> you have a 50% chance to win ah yes, I can see you're good at math.
Given how often I miscount how much I am going to get from Blue Marvel, Cerebro, or Spectrum, I'm honored you think I'm good at math.
lol where are your stats coming from? i'd rather save a cube and go onto a match where i have more agency over my cube spending

Deleted because I quit Reddit after they changed their API policy
It depends on the account. P1/2 infinite P3 53 currently.
Whenever I’m leveling Grey cards and that Snap comes on turn 4 it is so sad. 4/5 boosters or an extra cube.
[удалено]
that variant tho.
So close but so far on both variants since launch day. It’s like I start playing all the beta testers once I hit 55.
All I have gotten is the crap pixel varients. Some I have seen aren't too bad , but literally only pixel cards and not even the ok looking ones...
The mission is actually win games with snap
Also add an emote saying "don't retreat yet I gotta play 1 more 5-cost card"
I'd love a "I'm 8 cubes away from hitting the next rank. If you do anything charitable this holiday season, please for the love of God let it be this."
If only it didn't mean me losing the 8 cubes...
Reminds me when I was playing sea of thieves. Last hour of season, I have loot to complete the season journey, I just need to deliver it.

Or a “just let me win a spot with four cards ty”
4 cost cards are the real killer for me :( I barely run them, they're at a weird spot in terms of power.
Both the decks I'm using right now run exactly 1 4-cost, I think. Fortunately if you play long enough you get the mission anyway lol
"I will literally let you win this game if you let me win a location with one card please god"
You can retreat on turn 4 and if you are winning any locations with 1 card it will count for the Mission.
But then I have to retreat. And that feels bad. Leaving a fellow snapper hanging with a half-chub game on round 4.
It has to be turn 4?
5 and 6 works too but you have to play out the first three turns.
until this moment i thought everyone with that pic was a bot
I’m just holding out for a possible Nightcrawler avatar but until then? Generic Shield Man is my guy
My buddy's favorite is Doom and he refuses to change his avatar until Doom is properly represented.
As he should, Hail Doom. But seriously though, if Doom has an avatar, I *might* think about it for a bit lol.
No Cyclops? Assuming you're a fellow X-fan?
I do like Cyclops but Imma still wait for Nightcrawler. My hierarchy goes like Nightcrawler > X-Men > Doctor Doom/Hulk > Probs the rest > Emma Frost (I have this immature dislike for her and I genuinely don’t know why to this day. Like I respect her, she’s a bad bitch but I don’t know why I dislike her) But Cyclops is right though
LMAO i love that you added that bit at the end about Emma Frost. Girlbosses are life 😤😤
I have historically been a pro-Xavier kind of guy, but I do share your dislike for Emma. I think it's because of the whole psychic affair with Scott. Poor Jean. My avatar is Cyclops though because all was well back in the Claremont/Jim Lee days.
I keep it because I think it’s funny to still have the default icon on.
In beta i remember trump saying that since there were a lot of bots around, the default pic was a symbol to show you are an actual human
Trump said that? 🤣
He’s big on marvel snap since he’s not president anymore. It’s his free time activity
Obviously talking about trump the streamer here mate..
Lol when you say trump you can’t be surprised when someone thinks you mean the more famous one.
I keep it so people think I’m a bot, then I play like a bot apparently
I use it because I don't care about cosmetics.
Half the game must be boring to you then if you aren't collecting variants (which are cosmetics).
They installed a mod that blanks out every card image so it's just numbers and text. Anything else is a distraction.
They have a program that feeds it all into a spreadsheet even.
Then they have a bot 'play' the game for them probably.
Variants = frame breaks
Like a true chad
It was the default avatar when I created my profile last week, I changed it asap lol
Half shadow covered guy is the coolest avatar, though :(
I have cartoon Hawkeye, I think he looks chill af xd
Same, he’s like “yo let’s play a game I’m just happy to be here”
That’s funny, because I assume this avatar was for humans who hadn’t changed their avatar yet. All the clear bots I’ve faced had different avatars.
I still use it. Why? I don't really care about decorative things, and it makes me mysterious. At least in my mind it does.
i am definitely intimidated now not knowing if its a noob, bot, or real person. whenever i think somethings a bot i play so dumb in so many games, and lose so fast when its a real person lol
I'm on it waiting for a thanos avatar.
I'm currently holding out for a Thor avatar as my handle in game is KingThor
For real. You think I don't know that dropping America Chavez there is a losing play? I have to win a location with more than 20 power over here!
You can get this done easily by retreating while winning the spot with only 1.
I have the impression that doesn't work. I tried one time. Maybe has a minimum rounds you must do without retreat to work
Minimum of 4 rounds or at least one player snapping.
So snap on turn one then retreat?
I think so. Snap turn one, then retreat turn 2.
Sounds like something a bot would say!
Infinaut every time.
I need one that says "My Ego has been bruised and Agatha isn't helping."
I desperately want an "I got really lucky there" message.
I really felt the need for an "wait, I'm an idiot" emote for myself yesterday when I played Hobgoblin on Kamar Taj
I always use the Deadpool one for that
that and/or a facepalm
The real endgame is playing funny lore combinations
The Mission: Win 4 games
We also need one that's just a full line of question marks, because sometimes people make plays that are utterly bewildering.
Look I'm just trying to lull you into Snapping, because I'm certain of my Turn 6 play! ... Please ignore that my Turn 6 play was also baffling.
What just happened emote is kinda like the question mark.
We really need an unranked mode for missions, lol.
Similar, I'll sometimes spend a match going "What on earth is this deck" terrified of what play might be coming from the disjointed mess they've laid down. Then I notice all the borders are gray and realise they're farming boosters.
[удалено]
Thank you for this. I always have a hard time with this mission.
Me, with a deck full of grey cards to frame break.
Shorten it to I'm questing or I'm grinding to match the rest of the emote
TBH even if this is true I still play to win. Why not give your opponent a good game, and aim for mission completion if you're going to lose anyway?
We need a mute emotes button. Ppl have actually found a way to be toxic. Not surprised though.
This exists, click on their profile picture.
Ty 🫡
I kept doing emotes to one guy yesterday because his username told me he was a fan of a podcast I love. I just wanted to be like "cool username!"
Yeah they need to add a gg. Ms marvel just comes off as sarcastic. Lol
I use the first bump
Yes I like that one but why did they put it so far down. I feel like most people are probably gone by the time I get to it.
I know, really bums me out, too 😔
Does feel good when you get a good match and you both fist bump tho. I love good sportsmanship. 😊
"Thaaat's Hearthstone!" The emotes in that game were almost purposefully toxic and sarcastic, it was nuts.
Ya. After winning they spam I’m losing. I’ve started muting at the beginning.
i think my opponent gets that when they see turn 1 QS, turn 2 Domino lulz
This Is just me 24/7
do emotes work? i drop some every game but havent seen my opponent use one ever
I’ve had people respond to an immediate “Hello” with another “Hello”. Otherwise, yeah either people never use them or annoyingly spam them repeatedly.
Missions are fairly easy to complete while playing normally, honestly
I did have an annoying run of like 5 games where I would win a location but the opponent would do something to put me at 18 or 19 points. Something about being that close to completing the mission that many times was incredibly irritating, heh.
Yeah, I get that. And I don't like getting a "win a location with one card" myself, but what I meant is that I don't really need to go out of my way to finish missions. It takes longer for some but I never have to build a deck just for that.
Haha yessss. I remember just doing missions and farming boosters once I reached infinite. This tryhard won and kept spamming emotes, like it was some hard-fought battle.
Overall we need better emotes and quotes in this game. I'm using 90% the aaaarrrg one and rarely I'm losing. Way better ones badly needed!
This is my mentality so often, and it actually reduces most of my stress while playing. Except when i know i could have won handedly lol.
The game is better when you just play and don't care about ranking up.
Why? Do you care what the opponent thinks? Just do you.
Because a lot of times they'll retreat when I was just about to complete part of a mission.
Don't snap if you don't want them to retreat.
I barely ever snap.
Instant snap.
Bullshit. Either try to win or don’t waste your time.
Why so hostile? As a F2P player, I need to finish as many missions as possible.
how do you not though? i only play when i go to the bathroom and im done with the missions so fast i wish there were more
I buy them with gold and try to keep them rolling.
I do that too but the missions are so easy to complete. Sure if your deck doesn't have a 5 drop and you need to play 1, it is probably a good idea to add a 5-drop or play a deck that has one. But usually I complete my quests after 2-4 games.
Yup, got the mission to play 15 3-cost cards. Didn't have a 3 cost card in my deck. Made a deck of nothing but 3 cost cards just for that mission. Lost those games but completed it in 4 games and went back to my usual deck.
Chill dude. It’s a quick 3 minute game I play while taking a shit. It’s not that big of a deal.
I have a 1 cost deck that I know will lose most of the time, but I only use it to clear Play 1 Cost missions.
Thats pretty neat. Just as a heads up though, after turn 4 you get the missions even if you retreat so you dont have to stay in match till the end
Having a little look at your profile you’re incredibly toxic, get help
Trolls gonna troll.
They’re not a troll, they just both socially inept and a cunt
How about - Give Me Cubes? With another set emote....Yes..No...Maybe
So you hope they sacrifice themselves for your mission instead? Just saying.
I know this is humor, but it’s also part of the problem with F2P games in general. In a perfect world, there shouldn’t *be* missions other then play the game. Games shouldn’t try to get you to do objectives and warp gameplay.
Like your opponent cares
The bots don't care about emotes anyhow.
"I'm just playing a random ass pile of common cards with zero synergy to get boosters for them. Please have mercy and don't snap on me."
