For the record, I very regularly face Valiant TJ; Sea Dog Scissors; Reset Wizard; and Dragon Samurai. They are typically 1500+, 1550+, and I can beat them.
It’s interesting (and telling) that he didn’t single out Dragon as a set needing to be nerfed. I assume that he’s got Dragon himself, along with Scissors (but not Gladiator) and Finisher and Banner Breaker.
I run Banner Breaker Samurai a lot, and I don’t think it needs buffing. Scissors also shows up enough that it doesn’t need buffing either.
But if that’s what you have, and are making a nakedly self-interested post to make your life easier, then you know what?
When Valiant Procs, it should be on a chart: 30% = 1-turn, 40% 2-turns, 30% 3-turns lost. That have a far more interesting RNG spread. It would also be statistically identical to the original version of a 100% 2-turn wait. And as that is my primary Banner, I think it’d be obviously fair and balanced. And I think the vast majority of high-level players would agree, as they currently run Valiant themselves.
@roviobeni, @roviohuzz – you guys should have resisted the cries to nerf the “chase” sets like Valiant. If there isn’t a “best” set, there isn’t any financial “Pay2Win” incentive for players to acquire that set… Do what’s best for the company and restore Valiant to its original stats and capability. Also have Gladiator as advertised. Make players spend LCs on hunting those sets if they want to compete at the highest level of Arena.
