Nuance is gone: gwent is boring and neutral

Nuance is gone from Gwent. No setting up engines. No long game. Just play golds, slam points, and tempo tempo tempo.

Devs deserve credit when it’s due, they work hard and shows. Much love Dev team.

But this direction is bonk.

What’s the point of buffing archetypes, then serving up overpowered neutrals to drive tempo-driven gameplay?

Most Archetypes require time to set up board. But when every turn of lost tempo puts you behind a card like Aerondight, the game becomes a frantic mess with no room for thought out plays.

Aerondight in particular could very well be the worst card for the game right now ( if not ever).

It heavily drives the power creep so that every turn must be a 7 to 8 point turn or you lose to an ultimately uninteractive play. Remove Echo from this card already!

No room for nuance, no room for set up, no room for archetypes.

Heck Masquerade Ball was Buffed and I’ve run into that only one time! who has time to play a low tempo play like Ball?

Listen to that!
Ball used to be scary!
