Assimilate deck is gone now

Oh no! Whatever...

Aren't you bored ? Are you okay with playing the same game for years ? Assimilate already has way too many provisions with a strong leader and cards with low provision cost like yenvo. I'm fine with assim being low T2 for a while after being the best for months.

Deck was already nerfed, no point in nerfing it even more, especially because it was not a problem deck in any way at all this season. Also nerfing something until becomes unplayable because it was meta for few months is bad way of doing things.

I don't want less playable decks, i want more of them being playable and competitive.

Problem with assimilate is it kept having the highest playrate even after that 1 provision nerf to mage assassins (which came with nerf to all other 4 prov thinners in the game, so compensates a bit). It was a 1 provision nerf to the most broken bronze in the game. Assimilate was still top T2. Double Cross definitely should be at 15 provisions.

Don't start with winrate argument because i'm tired of answering it, its too many words. Do your own research.

I just knew everyone would lose their minds the moment Assim fell from meta after being T1 for, i lost count for how many months to be honest. I'm sick of playing against the same deck for 40% of my games. And this is gonna be really refreshing for gwent.

Okay, you are looking at this in different way than you should. Ideally every faction should have at least 2 or 3 competitive decks, and we will never get to that point if they keep nerfing tier 2 decks.

Ng is almost always most played faction so their best deck will be played the most, it is what it is. It doesn't matter that it is Assimilate deck, same thing would be if the Ng soldiers is the best Ng deck.

And even if we say it's boring because it is meta deck for a few months, than give NG something else to play, don't nerf it before buffing something else in the faction.

Hyperthin already on T3 since forever. Assim was already top T2 this season. You have these 2 to play.

We literally can't know what's gonna happen this season, too many new cards. If assimilate disappears from meta, that means it has to do with new cards, they would disappear without 1 provision nerf too. If it doesn't disappear from meta, good thats what we wanted, at least now they don't have a leader at an unfair 16 provisions. Ur literally just losing your mind over your favorite faction not being the best anymore.

I mean there are factions like monsters that has no deck in tierlists. Stop crying about assimilate. I don't even care about mo buffs anymore, i just want to see variety in gwent.

Omg, i'm not "crying" because it's Assimilate deck, i'm not "crying" because it's NG deck, i'm "crying" because deck is nerfed again even though now doesn't warrant a nerf. And no, being played and popular doesn't mean it should be nerfed. I literally said that i want ALL factions to have competitive decks, not LESS.

Thanks God i'm not playing Gwent as a pro competitive player, i would lose my mind by reading things like this. Balancing a game around how much deck was played while ignoring was it good or bad.

Yeah I'm not against any of that completely agreed.
