(thread) make me think of Battle of Wits
The wizard who reads a thousand books is powerful. The wizard who memorizes a thousand books is insane.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D43Hsc73v0s imagine playing defect and the only card you ever see that is capable of making frost orbs is a Rainbow in the act 4 store
Spoiler!
though i say "card" because he did get offered frozen core as an act 2 boss relic (probably should have taken it, too)

jorbs just set a new rotating winstreak WR (17)
Silent, and it wasn't a particular close run
the Ironclad run to get to 16 was much more tense

i wonder if they're ever going to patch the game again
also it's a bit awkward of an awkward target because yeah the best players are winning more than you would want but does it actually make sense to make the game harder for normies?

Okay I read the thread and I do agree with jorbs that infinites should be less prominent, they should be a cool thing that comes together rarely, not something you can just build towards most of the time

Like I don't think the problem is that good players can win a lot, I think the problem is this:

watching jorbs play is a lot more entertaining when the "best-play win rate" is ~50% vs. when it's ~90% (for example)
Like I don't think the problem is that good players can win a lot, I think the problem is this
feels like two sides of the same coin to me

devs changing games to make them more entertaining for streaming, and less for playing, is the worst. im not sure making slay the spire less winnable makes it worse, but just generally.

I have played about a bajillion hours of slay the spire and I don't think I've ever assembled a true infinite.
