Dumb Stuff You Do

HairyDave

Is there anything you do in game that constantly screws you over?

Seeing as I've just done this again, I'm always noticing massive 4-5 tile matches after I've committed to a 3-match on the other side of the board - the AI duly makes use of it and cascades the small cat out of me. That or I fail to take into account where the tiles are going to fall and set up massive cascades for the AI to abuse. Nothing beats the feeling of setting up OBW with a beautiful 5-tile purple match...

AND I KEEP DOING IT

I get used to character position, (oBW is always on the right most position in my usual fight line-up), so if I forget and switch characters around to different spots I've found myself using the wrong character's skill in a given situation. "Well, everyone's in rough shape - time to use Anti-Grav and heal-up!" ARRRGGHH!! I just used Bewilder!! *kicks self*.

I did almost the reverse in Prodigal Sun - I dragged OBW into a fight instead of Moonstone and wondered why I couldn't gravity warp anything

For some reason in the rare case I'm using 1* Storm, I'll always use her black BEFORE her green. I really don't know why.

It all started for me when Arogntbastrd told me he was going to beat me in the rep meta game, then I started going after a 1:1 rep to post count, then UW1 sent me a PM that caused me to spend way too much time on the forums.

1. Apply boosts for a fight.
2. Load up another fight that doesn't need boosts even in the slightest, preferably a prologue healing run.
3. Auto-accept through the boost page without removing boosts.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 as unnecessary.

I ALWAYS use Psylocke's Katana before Psychic Knife. EVERY FRIGGIN TIME!!!

I do the quick math in my head wrong when using Punisher and sometimes use Retribution too early.

I forget to check character strengths resulting in someone else taking a tile I want for Hulk to be in front.

I play this game entirely too much, I know it, and still do it. But, I still find it quite fun and my wife still has no problem with the amount of time I play...if only I could get her to play as well

Assuming every featured character in PvP is the loaner. Getting surprised when I see that Psylocke has 5K health instead.

I just bought one of the 500 HP boost in the prodigal sun pve.

I was suppose to add more boost to a 20% all match damage since i have about 20 stock up. Instead i misclick on the +50% damage boost and lost 500 of my hard earn HP.

I spent 30k ISO taking ragman from 100 to 115 literally the day of the nerf

Go prologue healing before shield hopping.. Heal my damage dealers.. 3 or 4 gm (with the spidey nerf).. Choose a juicy node (generally 212/141/141).. Gunning for ap boost.. Get in game.. Realize i let spidey in.. Being wiped out.. Throw my iPad against the wall..

I still haven't maxed Mags despite him being my absolute MVP. Pretty dumb on my side. He's on my to-do list after soft-capping LT.

I did Sunder to my little-hp-left Ares and died

I haven't either. And probably won't get around to it at this rate, between Laken and sentry

Oh, and as for Mags:
missing and overwriting blue tiles with Magnetic Field 1 in a thousand but still

Similarly, putting Cap's precious CDs right in the way of 4-matches for the AI.

But you can win doing that so it's not that bad

I forgot to mention that i had about 10 green at that time. So i should hit green first, then sunder.
In the end, i lost that battle due to the amazing bird strike in freezing thunderbolt mountains!

So your 'I hate LT' shtick was more of a 'I hate LT because I don't have enough of his covers', then, eh?

I don't have enough hatred in me to actually hate some pixels
And no, he is powerful and vast but that's about it. Boooring.
Edit: I am mostly leveling LT because everyone has already done so. Trust me, I don't feel good pumping ISO into him, but at least that's not Daredevil or Baglady I am pumping. Yes, I gave in to the power creep like everyone else and will have to level LD and Sentry next :O And I do expect a LT nerf, although with less and less confidence as he looks completely A-okay in devs' books next to underpowered GSBW, Loki and IM 40.

Phrasing!

This, oh 1000x this.

Also, misreading 4m 20s and seeing 4h 20m on character recovery time = using a health-pack to heal around 40 health
