This is why I still havent bitten the bullet on buying all the Summoner Wars everything, because while I may lose to lots of people here, Ive still playing over 100 matches, and would absolutely crush my friends in that game who have never played it.
I got my buddy to buy Ascension and Nightfall and Ive won 80% of our Ascension games ( weve probably played 30 or so, and all 20 of our Nightfall games. Im not trying to brag, because I know im not even that good compared to most of you people (though I do beat Smiley a lot...) its just a whole different game when Ive played 100 matches in something with a wide variety of people with entirely different strategies and ways of thinking, before they have even played 1 game, haha.
Keep dreaming buddy.
But yeah, it's definitely true, I just "know" games like SW and Lost Cities so much better now.
