    Over Powered Cards Rant!!

    I like this game and I have tried to bite my tongue. But the only way to win in this $!*% game is to be cheap. 4 portals, 4 tidal waves, 4 supernovas, 4 Soul Seekers, 4 kings pride!!!! some of these cards should be limited to 2 in my opinion. Has anybody else experienced any cards that you feel are being abused? Any solutions on how to fix this problem? And flame all you want, I am know I'm not that great of a player, put having to deal with the same OP cards again and again in a match is frustrating

    Thanks

    Of the cards you mentioned only one (soul seeker) is usually played as a 4 of in 30 card decks. If you made different cards have different limits in decks, it could get extremely frustrating. On the bright side, the game is being rebalanced so we should soon have all new over powered cards to complain about! :-D

    I don't see overpowered cards there. Except maybe the kings pride if you don't have any item destruction.

    tidal wave, supernova and soul seeker are farly powerful

    althought Energy Discharge is the most powerful board wipe in the game.

    soul seeker is only powerful because gwen gets the + 2 damage with it. Really it is gwen that is OP not that card.

    As for Knight Pride the card is powerful but it is also a 7 to cast. Noone smart would run 4 of this card in there deck.

    Lol totally wrong list here. None of these are even close to being overpowered.

    Try retreat as one of the most powerful cards in the game. Or blood frenzy. If you think KP is overpowered you have a lot to learn still

    Boris tells me that Jericho card is pretty OP

    But on a more serious note, I do believe tidal wave is OP.

    Tidal wave kills both sides of allies, costs 5, and is often a full players turn... not Op. Gwen is being changed thus making SS not OP. KP costs 7....not OP and item destruction will make it so that they got only one use out of it or none at all. Supernova, cant be used at 5 health unless looking to suicide and doesnt clear off every ally...not OP. Energy Discharge takes out 5 of your own hp, you sac a weenie and kill all of your opponents allies...still not really that OP. Portal....most noobs will only get 2 uses out of it because they play it on T4 which would not be the ideal turn to play it, it can be destroyed by ID, and only one hero really uses it effectively...not OP. Blood Frenzy... the 1 dmg stacks up, no one seems to ever think oh well over the course of the game he might have lost like 8 hp just from BF, which is a significant amount of hp to lose....not OP. Retreat....it doesnt kill allies it stalls their grand arrival for another turn or sometimes more if a better card comes along, it is often misused by players of all skill levels, and half the heroes have access to it...not Op.

    Anything else? All the cards are fine at this point, the card developers have done a great job of balancing out the game thus far. These Op rants and nerf X card down threads and posts wont get any significant attention from the developers.

    Just like Super Nova, Energy Discharge and any other board wipe I'm forgetting to mention has some kind of draw back other then losing that turn casting it.

    Super Nova in a weird way I believe is very balance despite both hero's losing 5 health
    Energy Discharge cost one ally and damages the hero 5 health (Again balanced in my eyes again.
    Now In my world I would have tidal Wave remove 1 resource (Just my thoughts, nothing more and nothing less.)

    Nothing stops someone from casting tidal wave back to back (to back to back? haha)

    Life is hard, but are you going to stop living?

    C'mon.

    There are only 2 things to do if you feel certain cards are OP.

    1. Build decks that can deal with these 'OP' cards. (Or better still, IMO, LEARN how to deal with them from a strategy pt of view)
    2. Build a deck that uses these 'OP' cards.

    There. wonderful ideas. I like the second one better.
