Random Gaming Rants

Accomplished my mission of getting paragon 600 in D3. Initially i thought i would start farming for hellfire amulet materials. But i guess it is immaterial now, as it is too much hassle and i'm not aiming for leaderboards anymore.

Stopped playing Heroes Charge as well. Managed to clear crusade 15/15 for 2 straight days with the help of my guildmate's LOA. LOA = king of crusade. For today's crusade though, i'm facing teams with 2 level 1s and 3 level 48s. Got wiped in a instant. They got to take into account the variance of team power instead just simply average team power. Not quite sure why anyone would field such a lineup, but it's definitely irritating.

Failed crusade = low gold = low skill levels = low crusade/arena ability = failed crusade.

I see this as a design flaw (bad matchmaking), thus I think it is quite pointless to continue with the game. Nonetheless, it is a good game overall, just that it hinges on whether you can get a DK early or not.

Played my first match of Dota in a long while. Intense 1 hr experience where my team got owned early but somehow we managed to push back and win in the end. I find 1 hr to be a little too taxing for me. GRs are 15 minutes and I don't enjoy them either. But I guess Dota requires no grinding, though you have to play constantly to grind your skill. Something good to keep in the pocket and play once in a while.

For the longest time, I have no games to play. Good to know.
