First of all, I wanted to say I’m not playing Duelyst anymore. This is far from a rant thread though. I grew up from those.
Some of you may remember me, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you don’t. After all I’m just a filthy casul.
I started playing when meta was fairly slow, best decks were creep Cass and neutral Kara. I just started so I wasn’t even care what was on the top, I just wanted to have fun and man it was damn fun. Long time ago I used to play HS but I never really hooked up.
I fell in love in Duelyst from the moment I saw it somewere, I don’t remember how I came across it though. After first one or two months of playing came what I like to call “the golden age” arc.
I played more and more, discovered this forum and fell even deeper in love in this game and it’s community.
It was just after Shimzar relase. Of course it wasn’t perfect (looking at you Kron) but it everything was tuned quickly. Well Kara nerf was a bit too much, but boy I was happy when Reva patch came out.
Some of my best memories come from that month after Reva nerf and before Bloodborn release. Meta was super slow, Zir’an was pretty good, and my conrol Vaath took me to S rank. To be fair, I hardly ever played meta decks, and I was always salty when I was matched only against aggro.
Best games I had were meme deck vs meme deck. It could take ages and board was flooded with Silitar Elders and buffed walls. Amazing experience. But hey auto pilot decks are always the best.
Then Bloodborn came out. And people started complaining about Meltdown. I didn’t get those complains, but I was playing him differently. By that I mean Fractal Replication + Meltdown. I think pulling out that combo wasn’t actually as cancerous as winning 1/8 roll.
I loved this game, I really did. It was supossed to be the chosen one. Why I left is a different story, let’s say that something I loved in this game turnes out not to be devs focus and I understand that, I loved something they don’t. Ok.
So as my last words I want to say: thank you, thank you all. It was great. Couldn’t be better. But I have to leave this behind. And why the hell a game brings so many emotions? Whatever. Time to say goodbye and never look behind.
