I was going to create a poll, but the polls don't provide enough possible responses. So just post your choices. Here's a list of the leagues we've had (let me know if I'm missing any): Fixed Deck Artifact Anarchy Clash of Geomancy Astral Tourney Monkey Magic Oozeball Monster Hunt Graveyard Gambol MP Party Chess Madness Wicked Waterways Triple Duel Golden Shrine Death March Roll Out the Barrels Quick Draw Temple Tussle Streams of Blood Lost City Deep Forge
My favorites are, in rough order (subject to change with my mood): 1. Streams of Blood QD 2. Deep Forge QD 3. Temple Tussle QD 4. Lost City QD 5. Monkey Magic FD 6. Chess Madness CD 7. Astral Tourney FD 8. Triple Duel CD After that I don't really like the leagues much more than ranked play/casual ranked practice, and they begin to blend together in terms of how much I like them. I guess Artifact Anarchy gets some bonus points for the sound effects
I would like a practice mode for playing the leagues in casual games so we can practice without the fear of getting farmed. Newer players to leagues face a steap learning curve.
In MP go to "create casual game," and then choose "non-ranked" and you'll find all the leagues and quick draws; the challenge will be convincing people to play unranked games.
Actually there is a way to play leagues casually for practice. If you click on "create casual game," then the "non-ranked" button at the bottom, you will have the option to play any league casually. You can either invite a specific player or just create the game and hope someone joins in. If you see me in the MP lobby, feel free to ask for a game. I'm almost always down for some league practice, especially Quick Draw. As for the question at hand, this is how I would rank the leagues in order of my favorites, keeping in mind that if it's not on the list, I haven't tried it: 1) Any Quick Draw variant 2) Monster Hunt (just barely edging out...) 3) Monkey Magic 4) Clash of Geomancy 5) Death March 6) Roll out the Barrels Edit: Ninja'd
I love Quick Draw leagues. I will continue playing them for the entirety of the league even after the 4 matches are done and I can't say that any of the others. My least favorite leagues are most certainly Clash of Geomancy and Death March. Clash of Geomancy just takes too long to kill things and someone times out a good deal of the time. Death March is miserable because once someone has 3 characters lined up on the vp the match is essentially over. The only ways to move everyone off are Whirlwinds which are too random or Force Cone which still allows people move right back on.
6 VP Clash of Geomancy (4 VP version is terrible) Oozeball Quick Draw, Astral Tourney, Monkey Magic, and Monster Hunt are great too. In general, I like the fixed deck leagues. I don't have to make a team for it + I probably do better in fixed deck >_>
