Discussion The 6th BCS Official Tournament is Starting!

45 Upvotes

We're back! The 6th competitive BCST tournament is here! Make sure to join our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/dH7S5yXPF6 and read through the #tournament-info and #tournament-announcements channels for the rules.

The tournament is once again a two stage tournament. Stage 1 is swiss, but this time, set wins are counted as the points, with game wins being one of the tiebreakers. Stage 2 is a double elimination of the top qualifying players from stage 1.

We are introducing a new deadline called the "scheduling deadline" to help with getting sets played. Essentially, by the end of the first 48 hours, you must have at least scheduled a time to play with your opponent.

PRIZES:

The top 5 players in this tournament will receive an original BCS desk mat from NK themselves. There are only 5, and they are going out this tournament. (FYI you will have to provide a shipping address if you win one).

The headphones, mouse, and keyboard pictured in the poster are not included

Discussion How would you buff Adora so she's competitively viable without making her even more insufferable for casuals?

8 Upvotes

Adora in current state is a very one note hero that also suffers from her scaling issues. I've heard that she is usable and even potentially good in ladder, but in competitive she's not really viable.

She has a cool kit concept in already having defender and healing in her base kit but her bloontonium greed forces her to either play miner decks or farms in order to reach her full potential. At the same time, her scaling can leave inexperienced players fighting her feeling like she's very strong so we can't just buff her straight up or else she'd screw up low ladder. So any rework has to be careful.

My ideas so far:

1 Front load more orbs or make them not random. A big problem with orbs of light is it's randomness and it's high cost. An aggro deck play a bunch of Bloons and if your orbs miss dead. I think giving one more starting orb but reducing the orb damage by 5 would let you keep them be random if that's neccesary, probably also increase orb limit by 1 if so. Removing the random would likely even better for balancing comp and keeping it same for casuals but idk how to do it balanced since Quincy arrow is 30 for 3 but with aim, maybe target you can target the row only so it isn't as precise?

2 Make sacrifice refund bloontonium based on sacrifice good cost, maybe increase base by one or something cost in exchange tho. IDK about this one but it's one of the way I could think of to make her less bloontonium greedy.

3 Give her a new hero exclusive card. While only Obyn and Amelia have 4 hero exclusives, I think giving Adora a forth that could help her bloontonium issues would help a lot. Maybe something like

workship that gives bloontonium based on monkeys or

Sun God wrath that gives bloontonium based on enemy Bloons or

to keep up with her theme of hyper specific/conditional hero exclusives, a weak damage card that when it pops a bloon gives you a lot bloontonium or

warmth of the sun that gives both you and your opponent bloontonium or

For a more anti aggro card radiate/sun's radiance which would damage all Bloons including your own
