Casual needs tweaking so you face opponents according to your level/skill. Every level you have adds +X to your casual MMR. Every rank you have adds +X to your casual MMR.
Dylan Perry
There is a casual MMR though. Nobody really know what affects it.

They did it last patch. Granted, there was no Pro Ladder then.
Nathaniel Long
yeah, the fact that pro ladder is a thing makes it retarded if they do balance changes now. Like for example they nerf ST, the guys with over 14xx rating with that faction are suddenly unreachable. Big joke for a game that is supposedly really competitive
Robert Martin
You're not wrong, but limiting balance patches to once every 2 months might kill this game.
Robert Scott
Eh, it's way more often than hearthstone. There are many reasons this game might die but I don't think making balance changes "only" once per 2 months is one of them.
Ryan Edwards
I don't care about pro players at all and I never want them put above the casuals. this game survives without pros but it doesn't survive without casuals.
Levi Murphy
If I haven't touched gwent during my playthrough of WH, but am craving content as I'm done with both books and games, is it a good idea to pick up the game right now? I'm scared I might get addicted easily, but at the same time there's a huge void in my heart that needs filling.
Evan Cook
CDPR thinks a proper pro scene will draw in new players, though. Pros are also the most visible and most vocal players.
Carter Thompson
That's a good point but it doesn't change the fact that balance changes mid season when pro ladder is a thing is retarded, especially considering that the game is not in a bad state balance wise(compared with previous patches at least). If the players get bored with the game less than one month after the latest hotfix perhaps there is something wrong with the game itself that should be adressed. After all you can't expect them to mix it up and change the cards every single month to keep people interested.
Easton Edwards
I don't think Gwent will quench your thirst for Witcher content. It's just a card game, after all. It is a fun game though, and you'll appreciate all the card art and flavor text. It's very friendly to F2Pers as well.
Zachary Reed
I've heard this in so many games before and it's just flat out not how it works. I don't think this is even my opinion it's just obvious if you look at older games and how they died. catering to pros is catering to 0.001% of the audience. and they're already hardcore + addicted. pro scene needs to come after casuals always. if you start putting pro players above the needs of casuals your game dies. I've seen it so many times before. the pros ultimately don't matter. there will be more pros and more streamers 100% of the time if the casual base is there. the casuals are the base of the pyramid and everything needs to be about them. then you can worry about pros.
Matthew Hill
yea try it out. the game is dripping with flavor and quotes. the art is beautiful. there's a single player coming out soon. the gameplay is hard enough that it's hard to get overly addicted since you get pretty exhausted of it if you play too much, but it's fun. it's a witcher card game through and through.
Daniel Harris
Why are so many streamers triggered by mill? It's not even that hard to beat if you know what you're doing.
Jaxson Morgan
I have a deck that can't ever lose to mill and I hate playing against it. the game takes forever and they rope you all the time. it's just really really annoying to play against. the entire time you feel like you're at their mercy and they control everything about the game. the whole time I know I'll win but it just isn't that fun. I can handle it, but I don't enjoy it as much as I do other matchups
Julian Young
Thanks, anons. Hopefully art and flavour will keep me occupied while waiting for other form of content.
Aaron Williams
The games do take longer, but I actually enjoy playing against mill. It's like you're playing an entirely different game.
Hunter Young
Shut the fuck up with your stupid bullshit
Nathaniel Hill
the gameplay itself is really compelling as well. it's pretty much the only card game out right now that isn't a shadow of mtg. it's difficult and different. so difficult that I think it'll have a hard time growing huge, but difficult in a way that's very satisfying to win
Brayden Hughes
hearthstone is hearthstone it will never die
Jaxon Hall
...
Anthony Myers
My point is that balance changes 6 times per year is actually pretty good.
Elijah Martinez
Reminder that CDPR is the worst game studio in the entire industry. Cyberpunk will never be released and Gwent will eventually be forced to close down due to their incompetence. youtu.be/wBuoexbVEFE

Coinflip is the issue, not NR.

you need tweaking if you're too anxious/bad to play ranked
Justin Johnson
>lose coinflip. Instantly get extremely annoyed, more annoyed than I get when I lose games to stupid bullshit like zoltan -> hailstorm or even dcs. >win coinflip. Laugh at my opponents bad luck, feels pretty good.
they really need to do something about this
Joshua Howard
start the game with a round of dice poker
Joshua Cox

their streams are only watchable when they're alone.
together they descend into krautspeak far too often
Kevin Flores
imagine making a post just to defend the correct spelling of some tier 5 streamer of a tier 10 game
Isaac Bell
Imagine not being able to read and being proud of it.
Hunter Fisher
Patch prediction:
still not an esport
Robert Reed
That's actually true. Should have not tried to ridicule your taste user, i'm sorry
Ryan Brown
I'm on your side here
I'd rather have a fun card game than an esport. fuck esports. I don't give a shit about any ecelebs or their tournaments
Justin Bailey
Patch prediction:
More people watch the stream than play the game. Game continues to balanced around non existent casual players. Rethaz gets a raise.
Andrew Peterson
If I can't read, why do you keep writing to me?
Wait, how did I read your post
Xavier Bailey
Nailed it.

guess I'm a brainlet
Leo Young
Witch Hunters are better in Foltest.
Camden Richardson
I know, but I feel like Radovid is so much better than Foltest, that it makes up for that.
I should be playing the standard Blue Stripe Scout Battering Ram Radovid, I know.
Landon Gonzalez
NR bronzes are strong enough that you should still be able to win games with Radovid. What deck were you using?
Carter Adams
how excited are you for another edition of ABSOLUTELY NERF THE DOMINANT FACTION INTO THE GROUND? NR will be dumpster tier after this and the ladder will be dominated by spellniggers and movement niggers. coincidentally both decks share the same faction.
Nolan Clark
when are they going to make the game fun
Adrian Morgan
It's sad, because NR isn't even that strong. It's certainly not as bad as Axemen or Dagon in their heydays.
Dylan Morales
I expect a triple nerf on stennis, double nerf is not enough :)
Grayson Allen
In 15 minutes.
Adrian Thompson
shani, stennis, dj nerf and leave the rest alone
Lucas Bennett
everything will get nerfed Dun Banners down to 6 Stennis no armor on deploy, doomed Battering Rams down to 6, second damage proc down to 1 Rad down to 4 Siege Support doesn't buff tokens anymore
all this comes with a little note by rethaz at the end of the balance changes: PLAY ST
Justin Rivera
>DJ and Shani nerf I wouldn't put it beyond them. Frankly, I've lost a lot of hope for the future of this game because of that little faggot rethaz.
Liam Wright
the dirty polish rats will find some way to nerf them indirectly so that they don't refund them, just watch
Nolan Hill
This is great. All the edgy teenagers are bumping the other thread because they think they're being ebin trolls. Meanwhile, we are actually discussing Gwent in this thread.
Tyler Sanchez
theres two generals right now JANNY DECIDE FOR US
David Ward

Is there any point in climbing from 18 to 21? it takes so long and no keks reward till you grind all the way casual at least have some deck variety
Dylan Jackson
That is /wtc/. This is /gwt/.

>dice on the table
DICE POKER CONFIRMED
Ryder Perry
Balance changes confirmed.
Liam Price
Why is everyone so sure that there will be balance changes with the upcoming update? Game is the most balanced it has ever been(CB was a joke, open beta patch was okay, then we had axemen, then we had the dagon/discard/henselt trifecta) and didn't they say that there would be no more hotfixes for this season when they nerfed mulligan?
Caleb Collins
They literally just said there were balance changes.
Josiah Myers
Just tuned in, I missed it. Interesting
Connor Allen
listen to the stream nigger
Gabriel Thomas
my dick is diamond right now
I'm seconds from climaxing
Caleb Bell
These streams are always cringy as fuck. They never do any planning beforehand.
Nathan Jenkins
The patch will release in 17 hours and 54 minutes.
