Hey guys! I’m starting this thread To anyone that is new to blitz, confused about it, or if you just plain don’t like it. I want to answer as many questions as possible that you guys may have. I want to start off by saying that you DO NOT necessarily have to put in money to be good. I was able to make it to champion rank without having to put in a dime. Yeah, it would obviously help if you did but I know a lot of people are turned off to the whole p2w thing but keep in mind that once your units make it to level 6 then the stats following every level after makes virtually no difference between a level 6 and a level 12 unit. Also feel free to private message me if you want to partner up with me in a couple 2v2 or 3v3 games I’m more than willing to give you guys tips and share my strategy
Good stuff buddy!

Love your name btw, I love megadeth
Nice thread. I have to say that I have managed to be champion. I have to admit I paid for a 3 packs, I think it was 3 euros… I did it to support the game tough. I have friend have spent a lot of money and they have managed to be champion too. But I assure you that I can beat them playing the game. And they have level card much greater than I.
Again, nice post and a couple of questions:
- For 1v1 how do you like to start? Do you have fast units like which one?
- Are you confortable with the current meta?
- Do you feel confortable with the same “map” arrangement? Do you think we can get more different arrangement of areas to get new strategies and maps?
- Do you think Blitz can have tournaments as multiplayer deathmatch is getting (check out Breaking the Clutch tournament)
Thanks
My question is how do you go up against competently skilled players with cards level 10 and greater (saw someone with level 18 through 20) and still come out with a victory? Most of my decks are level 5/6 through 8.

I main Atriox and my starting units consists of 2 banshees and a Marauder. Banshees are fast and since they fly it’s easier to go around the map early game to swipe up those energy crates with rush units and you can capture a couple points early game to get that slight lead in the beginning. The enemy is usually moving their ground units around the map and they’re just very slow so it gives me the advantage and after the energy I set up my starting army on my base and move out (starting units are based on which hero I’m playing against)
-
As for the meta, it has pretty much only consisted of banished leaders (atriox, shipmaster) UNSC leaders currently have no real chance in blitz so no I’m not very comfortable and I’m hoping for some balancing in the future for this game mode specifically for the cost, and extra rush units for UNSC.
-
I understand people have been complaining about there only being 1 map for blitz but honestly I think it’s perfectly balanced. I am hoping for future maps for this game type but it’s unlikely because this game type REALLY requires a balanced terrain and it would be very difficult to come up with a completely new and different map without it coming out so unbalanced. I do like the extra skins they put but I think they’re a little too dark and some other top ranked players agree with me on this.
-
I definitely believe blitz can have tournaments! It has so much potential. Personally if i were to have a blitz tournament I would make all card levels the same or cap at level 6 for balancing purposes (for the lower ranked players that want in)
definitey hoping for tournaments in the future though

This one is always a tough one even for me. I’ve been pretty committed to this game and by that I mean I do my challenges every day so I can get those card packs. It really payed off for me all of my units are now between level 6 & 7 and like I said card levels after that are pretty irrelevant as long as you get the right counters at the right time. The biggest factor that really puts me ahead of them is the energy that drops around the map. I CANNOT stress how important energy is. You MUST pick up your own energy at the start of the game and if you’re able to try to steal your opponents energy. Energy advantage is everything to players with low level cards but it looks like your cards are roughly the same as mine. Also keep in mind that there is currently no UNSC leader that can really challenge banished leaders thanks to their rush units like grunt mob and assault elites. Until UNSC can provide effective rush units for the early game Banished will always have the advantage. In case you guys aren’t aware energy drops at
11:50
11:10 (Top of A or bottom of C)
9:10 (random)
7:10
5:10
3:10
1:10
leaving units at energy points will help you gain an edge. If you’re curious to see how I do it I have a ton of videos on my profile, you can check it out and you’ll see what I mean or you can feel free to kelp posting on this thread or message me 
See thats already what I do. I always am going for and stealing energy. In 3v3 and 2v2 we can usually do pretty well me and my team, but every so often we hit people just as skilled as us with crazy high level cards and they just decimate
Would I be correctly assuming to say that you hit Champion in 1v1? I think my question is more ranking based…did you grind to champion, or were you initially placed there? What was your record?

Yes, I am currently champion 3 in 1v1 and champion 1 in 2v2. After my placement matches I was placed in Onyx 1700 after 10 games. From what I can understand your placement is based on your MMR (matchmaking rating) and the points you gain are always going to be based on your opponents rank and MMR. I got lucky in 1v1 because I made it in just 17 short games but that was because a lot of high ranked players were online at the time and I was able to climb very quickly. I believe I made it to champion with the least amount of games played So it’s not so much of a grind if you play people with high MMR’s and high placement ranks. My 2v2 games were very different though. Since dodging hasn’t been fixed a lot of high ranked players dodge me and my partner all the time and we get matched up with lower ranked people that aren’t very familiar with the game so the progress of only going up 1 point per game is super lengthy. Not to mention all the disconnects that happened to me while I was trying to rise through the ranks. I’d say all the disconnects set me back a good 350-400 points. It counts as you “quitting” so you lose roughly 60-40 points and that’s like 2 days of grinding.
So to answer your question yes I did have to grind to champion, but if you play high ranked players you’lol fly to the top if you win.
as for my record I’d say this this has been my best season
2v2 304W 34L 5.2MMR Champion:2398 Placement 1
1v1 61W 9L 5.4MMR Champion:2233 Placement 3

lol please bring him in!
Reddude, I have an idea that would probably interest you and your endeavors in bettering the blitz community potential. It will involve a whole lot of writing on your end though. Shoot me a message sometime if you want more info.
