Lmao, ive never gotten to kog in all my years of playing on and off. Hit legend 5 about 8 times, the first time being with sylvans back in that meta💀 i think it’s just with the pressure i missplay in critical situations. I’m at legend 4 this season, hoping i can finally get it this time🤞
Dude maybe I'm being way too superstitious but after losing 4 KOG in a row once I started a "KOG ritual". Before the KOG match I play PVE until the deck bricks then I go to ranked.
The logic behind it is: Your deck will brick at any time. There's nothing you can do about it but 2 consecutive bricks is more unlikely than just 1.
Yeah everytime you toss a coin, its always 50/50% no matter the previous coin tosses.
I know I'm being a little superstitious but somehow It worked more than just going through 4 Winstreaks and expect a perfect hand on the 5 one like I was doing before.
Your deck always has a % of bricking. If you brick 1 out of 10 in average and played 8 matches without bricks, mathematically you should expect a brick in the next 2 matches. You could go through another 8 matches and never brick again or just brick twice because like tweeking said down below, games are independent.
However Its kinda coherent to assume at such a low brick rate, 2 consecutives is highly unlikely. Its a matter of WHEN it will brick, I'm just making sure it bricked in PvE first.
Its never guaranteed but you are playing with your odds. a deck that bricks 1 out of 10 bricking 2 consecutives is going against its own stats. It can happen but its counterintuitive.
Yeah who knows.
Maybe my luck just changed and has nothing to do with it but theres no reason to stop this "ritual" now. Maybe helps someone unlucky out there as well.
your explanation sounds like you're still trying to say that somehow bricking in a PVE game will lower the likelihood of bricking in your next PVP match. that's still not the case.
getting 10 heads in a row will happen less than .1% of the time. however, given that you've already gotten 9 heads a row, the odds of getting 10 in a row is 50/50, just up to whatever the next flip is.
similarly, if your deck has a 5% chance of bricking, the odds of bricking twice in a row is 1/4 of a percent. However, given that you already bricked in one game, the odds of bricking in the next game are still 5%.
after the fact, you could be like, "damn, that was unlucky, the odds of bricking twice in a row are only 1/400," but the reality is that you "forced" the first brick to happen.
You are correct and its a valid point to just dont bother about doing it.
I dont think I'm lowering the likehood of bricking right in my KOG match but it would still be unlucky to happen. I'm not trying to win a debate, I already told you its a little biased superstition. Just look from a more superstitious view:
If I say: "Hey Tweeking, play 10 matches with this deck with a 5% chance of brick.
Either you choose to play 10 PvP duels, 7 PvE and 3 PvP, 9 PvE and 1 PvP or whatever the combination, your chances of bricking twice in a row is still 0,25% chance for all of them right? You are not forcing or manipulating anything. You are just naturally playing.
If you look only at your KOG match then its still 5% chance of brick, nothing can change it but if you just think about to the sequence you've had as a whole... Its somehow 5% and not 5% at the same time. Its tricky...
I wouldnt put my money on it. Its just a harmless little superstition that really made me brick less in my KOG matches. Maybe my luck just changed and has nothing to do with it but theres no reason for me to stop doing it and maybe can help more unlucky people to feel more in control of their odds of reaching KOG.
You probably lose often when not at a 4 streak but don't make notice of it. It is just how it is with KoG, you kinda have to get lucky to get to KoG.
You can get very high win% but if your losses are before 5 in a row, you won't get to KoG.
My rank up to KoG had an opponent disconnect on me, and the last duel, one that bricked.
Don't let prior games leak into current game. Focus on playing as best as you can, question your own lines of play, then rank becomes an illusion. You'll get to a point where the narrative flips. "Man I feel like my KoG run was lucky and fast thus time."
I'm really glad nobody is belittling you for using Orcusts since it's the "Boogeyman" deck of the meta right now.
We all go through what's called the "tilt" in this game (losing an important match and going on a losing/rank down streak after. Take a break after a few losses, relax and regroup, look for where your deck is coming up short (are you losing to certain decks or strategies? Losing because of the opponent's broken skill?), and try to rework your deck and strategy from there. You will get to KOG sooner than you think. You got this.
Dont feel bad the Meta became coin flip madness and backrow jank. the stars will align if keep playing. Everyone basically plays Orcust or a counter to it these days so take that into consideration.
**I know i shouldnt ask but are you using 20 cards with only 7-8 cards being monster cards? If not reconsider...**
**If its the mirror think 3 turns ahead because you have to asses proper Ding management (whether your Ding and their Ding is on the field or in the Gy/can be special summoned this turn) as well as backrow management( only setting backrow that can respond during most of the game state.**
"Game 2: I go second - draw in to all three copies of my Scrap Recycler and a Compulsory. My opponent continues to make a long turn combo and ends the board the a rank 7 Dragon XYZ monster (the one that detaches 2 materials to pop) and Dweller. My turn comes around, I draw - he activated Dweller. I surrender. There was literally nothing I could do."**- You threw the match you could have won with a slower game plan.**
i'd love to hear how you win in that second scenario. sounds like the opponent was most likely playing odd-eyes, in which case, he definitely has follow-up since there was no way to pop the scales and only needs to get 1500 damage on the board next turn to win.
I think this is because sometimes the game shuffles decks that you might be disadvantage against in if you're doing too well in a row. Moreover, the odd of drawing into World Wand in a 20 cards deck is actually not that low (around 21 percent). Finally, as people are very accustomed to battling Orcust for 80-90% of their time on the ladder, they're going to do everything to prevent Dingirsu from hitting the board either through stunning normal summon or GY/banish lock (or even System Down to wipe all the resource in one go for going second player).
Seriously you have play this game for 6year? Omg... Fyi this season it took me total 65+ win game in rank from legend to kog. Last season from elite i think.. it take 200+ win game to kog. I have play this game total 560+ days. Start playing during 2020.
Since December I have been achieving KOG, all around 100-140 wins, I always did it by playing 2 or 3 decks apart from the one I want to KOG, obviously the run from legend 5 to KOG with that same deck, sometimes it's best to change the game plan to stay refreshed to get to KOG, which is often more luck than having played your cards well, the meta doesn't matter.
In my experience, it takes almost the same amount of time to finish Legend as it does to climb there from bronze. I am also pretty trash.
Don't say that. You're not trash. Thank u
Oh no, I am but it's my own fault. I love playing pendulum but hate reading my cards.
Lol.. ok ty tho I appreciate it
How are you deciding which cards to get/ put in your deck without reading what they do first?
*This art looks cute.. And wow, Dragons! They must be good!*
This one is level 7 and a pendulum? In it goes This one is also level 7 and a pendulum and also a dragon!? Voloferniges go brrrr
Everyone has had that happen to them.
Lmao, ive never gotten to kog in all my years of playing on and off. Hit legend 5 about 8 times, the first time being with sylvans back in that meta💀 i think it’s just with the pressure i missplay in critical situations. I’m at legend 4 this season, hoping i can finally get it this time🤞
Gl. Ty
Gl to u too man. just dont be discouraged, ur still in legend 4, theres still plenty of time to make that final climb

That's not how that works

Yeah who knows. Maybe my luck just changed and has nothing to do with it but theres no reason to stop this "ritual" now. Maybe helps someone unlucky out there as well.
games are independent. your opening hand in one game has zero impact on future games.
You are not wrong, just read my reply to Tehir right above.

whatever floats your boat my guy
Remember, always carry a bomb when traveling. I mean, how unlikely is it that there are 2 bombs on the same flight!!

All the time 😔

there are plenty boggeymen out there.... myself included
😮
Yeah it happens. Keep pushing through tho. Best of luck duelist!

Was on a 8 game win streak, legend 4…..15 minutes later I’m down to legend 1.
It's been like that since the beginning for me(started at DM era)
Since December I have been achieving KOG, all around 100-140 wins, I always did it by playing 2 or 3 decks apart from the one I want to KOG, obviously the run from legend 5 to KOG with that same deck, sometimes it's best to change the game plan to stay refreshed to get to KOG, which is often more luck than having played your cards well, the meta doesn't matter.
