This is what guilds are putting up strategically for defenses now a days. Remember the days where people had imaginations? I guess those days are over 😢 ---

As far as I remember (so from the very 1st GW) there have always been meta defenses in GW. ---

If you are used to defenses in lower brackets, the opposition at higher brackets might surprise you. I know I didn’t put up a meta defense until my guild was in regular contention for bracket 10; perhaps other people felt similarly. ---

I remember putting DE and Rope Dart before they became meta 😛 ---

What are those misterious stuff you talk about? I stopped put DE (and never used rope) cuz it sucked hard every gw, cant wait until we got all 6 Dooms that create skulls instead. ---

There are only a few defenses worth a snot. Every now and then I see something clever, but it tends to spread since people see it and use it if they think it’s promising. The _exciting_ part is there are 4 or 5 viable GW defense teams today. This time last year there was 1. If the trend continues, this time next year there will be choices and you’ll see it switch up a little. The _trouble_ is even the most viable teams are doing amazing if they hit a 30% win ratio. ---

A guild put up their best defenses in Guild Wars. How dare they. 🙄 ---

> [@Slypenslyde](#): > > The _trouble_ is even the most viable teams are doing amazing if they hit a 30% win ratio. That’s (likely) a feature, not a bug. Every defense win is an offense loss. You think the forums are bad today with complaints about RNG/skyfall/etc, let’s see that defense win rate reach 50% 🙂 ---

I thought of that after I posted, haha. Definitely a problem if we have a team the CPU can win something like 65% with. It just makes for a weird scenario with GW defense. The “best” teams are the ones with high-variance overpowering moves. Those are also the most frustrating to face, because when they hit their lucky strike there’s no counter. ---

Rofl. Rickys comedy strikes again. Next he will be popping a gag saying this time next year his guild won’t have been significantly overtaken. Maybe those defs that only “you” invent will save the day 😂😂😂😂 ---

So far I have a Def at 67% and 100% but I told them sorry in advance. ---
