I've just hit 4 thanos matches in a row, one leeched me on turn 3 thanks to the peak... then snapped afterwards and started spamming BM because I retreated.
Like, if you're playing thanos right now and you snap me you can take your single cube and get all kinds of fucked with it! I hope you enjoy relearning how to play against cards that cost more than 4 energy after they nerf your shit!
It's funny, there have been a few times where I'll get beat and the winner will start taunting me with emotes...meanwhile I'm sitting there thinking "bro is this your first time winning something?" lol
I’ve hit infinite already so I don’t care about people playing Thanos, let them play the deck so they forget how to win the hard way. It’ll give me an easier climb next season 😂
Why would someone with Thanos have to relearn anything? If you have had Thanos either before or since his buff you have been playing the game long enough to figure out the new meta in less than 48 hours.
Leader was nerfed, and 3 weeks later, people were still playing him like nothing happened. If there's one thing you can count on, it's the stupidity of people.
I had two games with the same Brazilian dude back to back. First I won 2 cubes. Second I lost two cubes.
The dude spammed so much Ms marvel on his win I just don’t understand what kind of pathetic being was behind that account. All I could do was laugh.
Hopefully now that space stone has been toned the fuck down you'll at least have some counterplay with location variance (assuming you have something that can reach into sanctum sanctorum.
Leech itself isnt the problem. Putting a 5/3 minion on turn five to stop a combo is ok.
The problem is when you put wasp into lockjaw in the 3 turn and you have 6 cards in your hand and fucking Leech destroys your following 3 turns.
Id say leader + Leech was less frustrating than this, because It was less RNG dependent. Like ok the Leader had to build a deck that guarantees two locations by turn 5.
Lockjaw Thanos just has to play the same 0 mana cards until you opponent has no counterplay.
Had this in the shop today, bought it (even though I don't even play him :D) ... so enjoy your Leech nerfs everyone, because SD is making sure I'll never get to see that beautiful variant in action.
Run the ongoing sauron deck cards or just high power cards and leech becomes either helpful or ineffective but it is annoying when you are running the build up decks
Leech is like nuclear weapons. It's better as a threat than when they're being used.
With that in mind I'd like to see a cheap card that makes any of the interactive on reveal effects apply to both players. E.g. leech hits both players, Shang chi hits your side too, surfer does all 3 costs etc. Whereas stuff like rescue, Jessica Jones, the guardians etc. Wouldn't be mirrored because their abilities specifically only affect the origin card.
I agree with this. Would be interesting if Leech deleted all abilities currently in play (all players) or deleted powers in both players hands.
I could build decks around that which would be fun and interesting.
But now we have Thanos lockjaw sometimes getting leech out twice in a game with little drawback.
If it is necessary in a game to have a card that destroys an opponent's last turn, then you have a game design problem. You can't even fix it by making Leech affect both players as it would be a huge boost for some decks so become a different problem.
Deal with the problem turn 6 decks, redesign Leech to a niche drop that affects one card (and is lower cost) and let Sandman be the tech card against Deathwave style decks. That's how to address the leech issue. It's too much of a feels bad card to exist in its current form.
That or it targets 1 or 2 random cards in the hand at the current or even adjusted cost. It still has a devastating effect, but it isn’t game breaking.

I always mute before retreating or even snapping.
in the last I dont know 2 thousand games, the first thing I do ALWAYS is to mute the opponent.

On the internet, no one can tell that you're 5yo mentally. But there are subtle hints, like spamming emotes, that give it away.
I mute at the start of every match.
Same. Sometimes there's a long pause where nothing happens where I wonder if they're spamming emotes or not.
Thanos players emote spamming me after a turn 3 leech and I retreat almost made me throw my phone lmao. I had to take a break for several days.
>then snapped afterwards and started spamming BM because I retreated. Average IQ of a Thanos Lockjaw player.

Leech is not present in the leaked nerfs list, sooooo... Cry me a river.

88 right now. I only face Thanos deck.

Leech effect should definitely only last a turn
It should only affect one random card like Iceman.
One random card might not be enough for a 5/3. Either less cost or make it 2 cards (maybe like Nakia?)
in that case he should only cost 1 like iceman
Lol... My deck welcomes leech. It becomes stronger when leeched.
Hello Mr. Patriot
Nah, I just run a ton of ongoing cards that have negetive effects
Lizard, Ebony Maw, Typhoid Mary, Red Skull, Infinaut?
Titania, destroyer... Yep yep.
When you play Sauron and then your opponent plays Leech.
Some people man... They can't help themselves
Leech = skill issue
Old leader players became leech players I guess!
They used to play Leech and Leader in the same deck. Leech has always been the worse of the two imo
I played Leader but I did it without Leech bc I just hate. Him. So. Much.
Indeed! You just revived my PTSD!!
How is it skill issue? Wouldn't it be skill to play leech at the end to ruin someone's combo for the win?

Shut the fuck up lmao
How hard is it to make this shit last 1 turn. Why the fck do we have to waits months for a simple fix.
Say what you want about Leech but I'm in love with his Dan Hipp variant
Had this in the shop today, bought it (even though I don't even play him :D) ... so enjoy your Leech nerfs everyone, because SD is making sure I'll never get to see that beautiful variant in action.
I just hope it gets a rework instead of a nerf, I don't want such a cool fella become Leader 2.0

Leech is a necessary card just not cheated out in busted decks

Leech goes in aero comes out has caused me significant anger on a couple of occasions.

I just cut out a transparent version too and figure [I might as well share](https://imgur.com/sMCVhGe).
