I'm facing teams with 2-3 max leveled Epic cards vs. my squad of only super rare max pros. The way decks are rated need to be adjusted for me to look at this game with any seriousness. I have to look for decks that are a level below mine (I am middle Epic Tier and even decks rated lower have Epic cards). I feel like I should've gotten an Epic reward card when I ranked up, but got nothing.

Right now all i do is join a KoTR and collect my ultra rare card for participating in hopes it will match something I already have. The PCC challenge isn't bad and I was able to get an UR Paige set that I am leveling up in my free time. I think a new mode or something could be a nice change.

The rated system is broken in this game because everyone sandbags so they get a lower rating. Developers don't seem to care either so it won't be changing any time soon

 

[ratcliffja]

Looks like they just rebalanced all the cards. From what I've heard, AJ is now much better than Cameron, which sucks. Fortunately, I already have two AJs that I can almost combine. I just wish I had a reliable list of the new stats so that I could tell who to keep/toss.

 

[daemissary]

Well I'm pretty happy with the new stat buffs that Natalya got. Although I haven't seen what the other people got yet so I guess she could still be bad.

 

[ratcliffja]

Yeah now Cameron is by FAR the worst pro legendary diva in the game (other than maybe Stephanie). That's just bizarre. I think AJ's the best, followed by the Bellas, then Natalya, then either Cameron or Stephanie.

Edit:
AJ: 5,962
Nikki: 5,961
Brie: 5,960
Stephanie: 5,855
Cameron: 5,470

That's just cruel.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Jimmy Uso no longer the worst ranked common, lol.

Summer Rae now the worst ranked common diva as well.

Natalya is 5855 but she has the highest POW and TGH.

 

[ratcliffja]

Why did they screw Cameron over so much? She should at least be 5800.

That's awesome! My last Legendary pair was AJ (and my next diva pair after her is Nikki) so I basically have the two best diva card.

On the flip side, I also have the worst Legendary pair (Ryback), so it ain't all that great.

 

[Yaari]

Lol. So now my Nikki Bella cards are awesome eh? What else did they do?

 

[XiaNaphryz]

So I make the finals for my first legendary KOTR and of course I get a pair of Camerons post-stat update.

lol

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Because fuck Cameron, she's horrible. Her rating is appropriate considering how awful she is in the ring.

 

[RandyBobandy]

This.

At least my Nattie got a boost

 

[Hasney]

The card balancing is bollocks and makes me glad I stopped playing. Existing cards people have shouldn't have been nerfed.

 

[ratcliffja]

Really? She seems decent when I've seen her, at least compared to most divas.

 

[Hasney]

Really? She seems decent when I've seen her, at least compared to most divas.

Admittedly, she was overrated compared to AJ, Paige and Natalya. But yeah, no way she should be below the Bellas and Steph.

Either way, it's complete BS for them to do this.

No I agree that AJ and Paige should probably be rated over her because they're actually contending for the diva title. But making her MUCH worse than the others is just turning one bad ranking system into another bad ranking system.

 

[Dork Knight]

I think this is the 2nd or 3rd Legendary KOTR where I didn't make it to the finals. I think at this point I'll just make an effort to qualify for the brackets and then accept my free Legendary card. Last time I got a Ryback which made a pair with my Ryback freebie, so maybe this time I'll get lucky and get another Bruno to make a pair.

Basically, getting to the brackets requires very minimal upkeep on my part, so I'm going to stop stressing over not getting to the finals and wasting boosts against folks I can't beat.

Does help there's less Legendary cards, so the odds of getting a pair from single cards are way higher than the other tiers.

 

[Kaladin]

Having the worst luck with the Super Rare and Ultra Rare tiers. I'm getting more rare cards and boost cards than anything. I've only got 1 Ultra Rare Dolph Ziggler and I'm half way through Ultra Rare +.

Come on guys....do I have to pay to get these cards or something?

Once you get past Super Rare, you'll need to rely on King of the Ring to reliably get cards for your tier. Your one Ultra Rare was the guaranteed drop that you got from that board. Whenever you move up to a new tier, you're guaranteed to get one drop from that tier on your first board. I've played nearly 15,000 matches and probably have gotten less than 10 UR drops from the board. I think I've only gotten one Epic other than the guaranteed one and no non-guaranteed legendary drops.

Sounds similar to me, though I've had a little more luck. I'm at 8000 matches and have gotten 2 non-guaranteed Epic pulls (a ladder and Naomi) and 1 non-guaranteed Legendary (Brie). Only 3 non-guaranteed pulls from UR though.

 

[blackflag]

Dis Kane get buffed? I just got to my first legendary kotr finals and that's what I ended up with. It's a bummer. I feel like I probably shouldn't waste the time leveling him up.

What do you think?

Don't think he did, but he is garbage. I got him too, but I kept him since I only had one other legendary

He's the only legendary pair I have. Well in not going to level him and just try again.

They really need to come up with a Legendary assist solution. It's crazy that if you don't get one on your free pull, you're likely to NEVER get one. Perhaps upgrade the KOTR so that the winner gets an assist card of that tier (it would make people care more about winning too, as opposed to just making the finals), or have stand alone assist cards in the PCC.

 

[JNA]

Made it to Legendary tier and got my first legendary, Big Show! I needed a down alignment too badly because I've been using pro SR Big Show for a long time lol.

Anybody know where I can find a list of cards that have been buffed/nerfed? It doesn't say in game.

EDIT: Also I've finally made the perfect farming team! Pro Epic Brock Lesnar, Legendary Big Show, Pro Rare Paige and two commons. It's the perfect crime!

I agree with that. Legendary support cards shouldn't be so incredibly rare. It would be nice to be able to earn some sort of in-game currency from KotR wins/placement so that you could eventually exchange them for other rewards like a legendary support card or boosts.

 

[JNA]

Now doing Epic tier KoTR with these guys as my starters and the whole thing is freaking easy mode.

Pro UR Brock Lesnar and Legendary Big Show tag team, Epic Dolph Ziggler, Pro Epic Brock Lesnar and Epic Naomi. Common bench of course XD.

4-0 without paying much attention so far and all of my matches have been against UR pros at best, SR Pros at worst. This is so cake I almost feel dirty. XD

Have fun while it lasts. Once you get to Legendary KOTR, unless you're rocking 2+ Legendary Pros, you're gonna have a tough time making the finals.

I lucked out when I made the finals in my 2 Legendary KOTRs so far. First one I made sure to avoid the guy with the Legendary pros in my half of the bracket, second one I was up against someone with pretty much the same power deck in the semis and ended up tied 1-1...I was lucky enough to get a stat matchup that favored my Epic pros over his.

Now that I have 2 Leg Pros, this current KOTR I'm on looks to be straightforward. Only one other guy has any (he also has 2), but one of mine is a diva and neither of his are, so even if we end up in the same bracket I'm sure I can take him.

Well that's a bunch of balls.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Well that's a bunch of balls.

It's definitely doable with 5 Pro Epics (including Diva) and then whatever you need to put on the bench to make the tier (with the rest commons). You'll just have to potentially do some position jockeying depending on who else is there with you to avoid running into an unbeatable opponent until the finals. Worst case in terms of barely being in the Legendary tier (note that the bar fills up completely once you break into the tier, so it's hard to tell where on the bar you are), someone will have 3 Leg Pros (1 of them a diva) and 7 commons.

It's doable you just gotta hope you don't get in a KOTR with more than 1 person tanking their tier with a common tag team and Pro Legs of everything else. That happened to me the first 3 I joined. Then I got to the finals.......Kane.

Then I got to the finals today....Shawn Michaels

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Holy shit, I just pulled a Legendary support card from Exhibition! Score!

 

[daemissary]

Surprised we haven't gotten an update on PCC. Hope they aren't skipping this weekend.

 

[ratcliffja]

Man your exhibition pulls have been SO much better than mine. Oh well...

 

[JNA]

Won my epic KoTR recently. Got two Epic Brie Bellas.

At first I was like "aww...I already have an epic Naomi, well I guess a pro is obviously better so ok I guess". But then after I maxed out the first Brie Bella, her stats completely stump Naomi! 0_0

Did Epic Brie Bella get buffed in the update? She's literally much stronger than Naomi in every category besides Charisma, and only 20-25 points I believe lower in that.

Guess I like the reward now.

 

[ratcliffja]

I did my first Legendary KotR after the stat change and got Miz... I'm losing my desire to keep playing at this point. I mean I don't have to get a great card every time, but at this point it just feels like more of a chore than anything.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

So I have Leg Pros Cameron, Hogan, and Cena now. I can farm Legendary KOTRs at ease with the 7 crappy bench strat now until I get enough pairs I care about (unless I run into someone else doing that technique, in which case I'll put in 2 uncommons for my tag).

 

[JNA]

Awwwww son of a bitch!

I just drew a random epic, but sadly, its a 3rd Brie Bella! lol

Why not a second Dolph Ziggler? Or a Stone Cold epic? Or hell, anything NOT a diva, let alone a 3rd epic Brie Bella XD.

Well good farming material I guess lol. How much exp do empty epic cards give?

Just level up that 3rd Brie until it hits max and then when you do get a card or pair you want, using the leveled up Brie should be good level up fodder.

Good idea. I did that before with a different epic guy and it almost maxed out my legend Big Show in one shot lol.

 

[RandyBobandy]

My pro legendaries are garbage. Kane, Miz and Jericho who is at least decent.

Constantly coming up against rock, hbk, hogan, hhh, Austin on exhibition. Fun!

Shits becoming a chore now

Oh I don't even bother doing exhibitions in Legendary tier. I just use my Legendary Bog Show, Pro Epic Lesnar and rare Sgt. Slaughter (as a pair with Lesner in tag team) and pretty much win 99/100 times in epic+ tier.

Yeah, my Exhibition team is purely there to generate card pulls. I'm using 4 Epic Pros and 1 Leg Pro in Exhibition and I win most of my matches.

Yeah unless I'm like that Maoki guy ( the guy who apparently has both Diamond Pro Brock Lesnar and Diamond Pro Randy Orton), I pretty much stay away from that kind of tier for now, XD.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

My Legendary KOTR luck continues. After getting a pair of Camerons, Hogans, then Cenas w/ an Epic Second Wind, I just got a pair of Rocks and another Epic Second Wind.

I hope to have that kind of luck at the end of my epic tournament. Hell, all I hope is no divas or Brock Lesnar lol.

 

[JNA]

Just won another Epic KoTR and got some Epic Razor Ramons!

Stats wise, he seems to be a very balanced card. Obviously there are other best left alignments like The Rock but I won't complain about getting Razer I believe.

 

[joeposh]

I just won my 3rd Epic KOTR. First one netted me a pair of Stone Colds, and the second was a bit of a waste -- generating 2x Cameron, which I immediately fed to my Legendary Nikki Bella. This latest one produced a pair of RVDs, whose speed will be rather helpful despite the overall lower ranking.

Honestly, this game is kind of running its course for me. I will give this new line-up a run, probably enter the odd KOTR and make a run on PCC on occasion, but I just don't see myself sinking the time into Legendary that's required to really stand a chance. Hope they can find ways to keep the game interesting and bring me back into the fold.
