Please stop doing kingdom restrictions for Guild Wars. They’re consistently the most miserable experiences possible.
Please don’t stop doing kingdom restrictions for Guild Wars. Without them, everyone uses Wand of Stars, the ultimate no skill weapon, and steamrolls every defence.
I prefer my opponents to have to do some work to beat our defences.
That’s a false dichotomy, it’s not kingdom restrictions or anything goes. They have other options.
Firstly, they can do type restrictions, or colour restrictions. And they can ban “all colour” weapons and troops, or mythics or whatever else they want, if they’re trying to make the mode more challenging.
But forcing the attacking team to be chosen purely from a kingdom is a bad idea. First, like 10% of kingdoms have mega-OP options that are the same as just letting people use whatever they want. And about 40% are useless for attacking in guild wars - by which I mean the best teams you can make have super low odds of beating the hardest defense zones (like the palace) - and there’s no way to build teams that rely on skill to win. It’s too luck based. If you get bad RNG with the starting board, you lose. Nothing you can do.
I’d welcome a fair challenge for guild wars. It SHOULD require you to play smart, and with skill. And maybe to pick your attacking team carefully, to best counter the defenders. But what we have right now isn’t that. Not even close.
And you pointing to two bad options as if they’re all we have doesn’t help, sorry.
We can do better, and the devs should be able to, as well.
