Let’s talk PvP build diversity, specifically in ranked PvP. Better than before patch? Worse than before? Too early to tell? I sure see a lot more Great Maws than I remember seeing before, but that might just be because people finally traited up their destroyer worms. ---

I haven’t seen much diversity, but i can say I am fielding a new team. For every win I get, I have 3 losses. Trying to adapt to the new meta. ---

I honestly think it’s a little early for this conversation as people are still trying to find their footing. I really have not seen much does diversity. I will say however that it has gotten me to start thinking about what I’m going to be doing for defense teams and offense teams I just haven’t had enough time to actually put anything into effect. ---

Fair enough. Yeah, it’s a bit early. Was trying to come up with something more neutral to discuss. Lots of polarizing conversations here today. ---

No worries, I’ve been doing the same with a few posts. I will say that I have adjusted my defense team probably four times since last night. When I logged in this morning I have 3 defensive wins which actually moved me into a new bracket, so that was really interesting! ---

Yep… Well, there are a couple big issues with the release 😕 Anyway, people don’t field solo troops as defense anymore x) As for my offensive deck, I haven’t changed a thing either, Mercy, Maw and IK are still too powerfull. I might work around Queen Mab once I’m done with questing / PvPing ---

I need to get my Mab her third trait before I can consider her for a team 😕 And I have War, but man, three colors is hard to build around. ---

I definitely appreciate the post though. A nice change of pace. ---

I’m still using: Gorgotha Infernal King Mercy Moloch Seems to be a _lot_ more popular now that summons are buffed. I’ve fought my own defense several times since last night. ---

Yeah, those first two are a tricky 1-2. _Almost_ an effective Maw counter, if there were such a thing (there isn’t). ---

I never looked at it like that. I really wanted to include Giant Spider and this was the first thing i came up with. I have played it three times, and i am very proud of it. ---

I think I’ve fought you a few times. The start of the fight is hairy. ---
