The best bondmates are Heavies + Rangers because you always want to bring them.

Worst bondmates are Snipers because at the start they are bad and with the inclusion of faction heroes they are the easiest to replace.

My favorite use of bondmate extra turn special power is to give the Ranger a double shotgun shot but I'm sure there will be best uses in the future.

I decided to give Druid a spin, both the token variety and the jade one.

I found the token one superior because you win games faster but I believe it may lose to jade if it ramp up well and put some tech cards like crabs.

Talking about tech cards, Jade Druid with Ultimate Infestation can probably counter any deck if you tech properly. I was running the full jade package plus ramp spells and still had run for Doomsayer. Big Game Hunter, Crab, Black Knight and a Lich King because why the fuck not?

I coud easily replace those for Spellbreakers, Eater of Secrets, or Oozes if so the meta skewed to this side..

Every time I lost, I knew of a card in my deck which I drew could turn the tide.

Plus, it's not a hard deck to play.

10/10 turn 5, would infest again.

My biggest grievance since their modernized Xcom is the fucking start with a 4-man squad limit.

Enemy pods will usually have 3 enemies, making any early engagement a 3 vs 4 affair, which can quickly spiral to a 3 vs 6 if you run into another pod. Doesn't help your beginner squad has no useful ability of note outside a grenade.

Late in the game, pods STILL have 3 enemies (though stronger ones) but you have a 6 man squad armed with freeze bombs, wrist rockets and psi powers.

I may bit the bullet and just install a mod to make the game start with a full squad, balance be damned.

Time to make some research about outrageous costumes… for the comic, of course.

I reached that point on Xcom where you crew is an well oiled killing machine but I know I'm always a double pod activation from losing half my soldiers.

I really don't like the whole pod thing, specially the way enemies sometimes manage to hide on some weird corners.

Well, she DID wear the uniform in the end. Happy ending?

I'm halfway thru Xcom2… no complains here… ok, some small complains like how X class or Y weapon is better than other but I guess figuring it is part of the fun.

Still wish the start of the game was easier than the late game. While I think it's a bit of cheating starting with squad size 6 just seen to make the game better for me.

Random tip: Ignore hacking, a soldier with Bluescreen Rounds is all the «hacking» you'll need.

I have so much stuff pilled to do I'll just cut the rant short today.

Enjoy the comic guys.

I knew some people would point the non-praticality of the beer cannon and for a moment I thought it was perhaps too much but than I reallized on games you heal people by shooting giant syringes from across the yard and collect loot by running over it and though it was fine.

I hate drawing Torbjorn and yet, I keep coming with stupid ideas involving him.

It's a love and hate relationship at this point.

Work is piling up so I'll cut the rant short with some good news: I lost 7 kilos due to my diet and I'm almost on the healthy range. Horray!

Jeff Kaplan did a recent video one of the reasons we don't have cool features like the team play of the game because they need to divert resources to things like fighting the toxicity in the game.

We already suffer with the toxic player in game but now we have the cold comfort of knowing they also hinder our enjoyment outside it and yet, we are powerless to do anything.

Perhaps the video was meant to gather sympathy, or maybe to force some nasty players a change of heart but I'm a consumer first and I want my content and features, not excuses.

Sorry, not sorry.
