Le gob Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Hello everyone, It's hard to tell, from the forum posts what the state of the local meta are. I'd like to get a glance of what they actually are, what factions wins or loses. I'd like you to respect the format, so it's clearer. I'll start with our local meta: Location: Annecy, France Size: about 10 players. Most wining: Sandeep, Shen Long, Pandora Struggeling: Parker Barrows, Dreamer, Marcus, Yan Lo, Guild Models/Items most complained about : Sandeep, Oxfordian mages, Steamfitter, Shadow emissary, Zipp Note: No real resser player 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thstringer Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Our local meta is 4 reliable players, 3 or 4 very unreliable players, and that's really it. I would say guild sees the most success, but that might be because none of us take it very seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe is more about the skill of the players? Were the Sandeep's, Pandora, etc. players good before? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le_wahou Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 We have 3 guild players on this meta. 1 is new. the second is not a regular player. I am the third. On GG2018, I have around 50% defeat and 30% victory. I do not believe that this is linked to a guild weakness. This is rather due to experiments on models I do not know yet. If I really play to win, I have troubles with symbols of authority and schemes asking a dedicated fast scheme runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedar Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Here is state of my local meta: Location: Kraków, PolandSize: about 20 players, more or less 15 are regular playersMost wining: Sandeep, Shenlong, Collodi, Pandora, Zipp, Wong, sometimes RevaStruggling: Parker Barrows, Dreamer, Lucius, Jack Daw, Kaeris, Brewmaster and other low-tier mastersModels/Items most complained about : Sandeep, Oxfordian mages, Shadow emissary, Zipp, Changelings with trapper combo, Collodi, Ashes and Dust, Midnight Stalker, Reva, Yasunori. Most players are highly competitive, taking best crews they can imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotnob Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Location: Germany (Southwest) Size: about 15-20 players Most winning: Viks (by far, my last tournaments final was Viks mirrormatch), Hamelin, Zoraida, Sandeep Struggeling: hard to say, most players prefer competitive crews. Some lower tier gremlin and outcast masters maybe. Most Complained about: Viks, Shadow Emissary, Marlena Webster, Yasunori - few Guild and Gremlin players, many Neverborn players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatlatinspeakingguy Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Interesting thread. However, I'm not sure if your "most winning" and "most struggling" categories tell us anything except that these masters are played by relatively better/worse players in a given community than other masters. I can tell you that in my (and Cedar's at the same time) meta three players play Shenlong, but only one of them constantly places high at tournaments. The same pertains to every top tier master played by more than one player in our meta I think. Because the number of players is high in it, the correlation between the personal skill and the result is more visible. Also, what does it mean that some masters are struggling in a given meta? It should be more specified. I assume that it means that a master is played by someone (or even better - by several people) regularly with no success. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le gob Posted May 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Quote Also, what does it mean that some masters are struggling in a given meta? If you get the stats from 1 meta, it won't tell you much, but if you see it's always the same masters wining/loosing, you'll start to get some intel on where some balance is needed. Quote Were the Sandeep's, Pandora, etc. players good before? Our meta isn't too competitive, most games are for fun, our 10T player refrains on playing Yasunori, our Gremelin player on playing Zipp as they'd rather have fun than crushing the opponent. I play Pandora, and I'm far away to be a good player, I'm average. Same goes for the Sandeep player, but he surely wins most his Sandeep games and not so much with his other masters. Our only players who try hard to win, only bringing competitive crews are the arcanist and one of the outcast player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he is well poised for Symbols of Authority (though I've only played him in TT, but I'd imagine the very same to be true in Guild).

Davie Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Location: Cologne, Germany Size: 7 Players. Most winning: Everything Gremlin and Guild. Struggeling: right now Neverborn I'd say. Models/Items most complained about : Burt Jebsen with Magical and/or Dirty Cheater, summoned Piglets, summoned Bayou Gremlins, Dumb Luck / Thinkin Luck. Katanaka-Snipers Note: No Resser Player. Meta is not consistent though. I'd say that I (Gremlins) play the most games so naturally I have the most practice and I tend to win more games than others. So complains about Gremlins are of Course more than other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say guild sees the most success, but that might be because none of us take it very seriously. Do we have the same meta? Location: Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands For me here as well - meta is 3-4 reliable players, and a couple of unreliable. There's also people who live just too far away for a casual game, but do tend to come over when there's an event or other organised play. Most winning I couldn't name masters, because for us it's really the player. One of our guys wins most games/tournaments. When he played Neverborn, that was the top faction. He won with a lot of different masters. He's running Ressers Nico now, so he wins quite some, but wouldnt be different if he picked another master. So I would say our meta has winning/strong players more than winning/strong masters. Our biggest gripe? We would like to grow the number of players, but that's really a challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard_Wizard Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Location: Vaasa, FinlandSize: 4 Players, 3 active and 1 occasionalMost winning: Ironsides, Perdita, DreamerStruggling: Masters? Mei Feng and Lady JModels/Items most complained about : Ironsides, Zoraida Biggest problem though? Getting more players. We've got an active club, but everyone's divided between Guild Ball, Warmachine/Hordes, X-Wing and 40K. I've introduced, demoed and discussed with several potential players, but it's all falling down to time and money. Malifaux isn't an expensive game, I would argue it's probably one of the cheapest Mini games. But people are dedicated to their currently chosen games. I still count several of them as potential new players, one can only hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adraul Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Location: Barcelona, Spain Around 5 to 6 consistent players, about 6 more not consistent players Most winning: Nellie, Sandeep, Nicodem Struggeling: Parker, Von Schill (but then again, he is always struggling) Most Complained about: Sandeep, Nellie, Thalarian Queller, Nicodem This was pre-errata, last tournament played after errata saw no Sandeep and no Nicodem. I won with Outcast using Viks, Hammelin and Daw. I usally play Arcanist, with Sandeep always seeing play in tournaments and leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at that list, it has to be too op. Noone is saying any of those are useless in 2E. You really ressurected this thread though.

ExperimentAlpha Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Wouldn't be bad to do this about m3e! I'd contribute but my local meta dried up when the new edition was announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dope_danny Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 most interesting thing i've seen thus far is Nicodem being the only resser getting a lot of play while a lot of people are putting their seamus/molly/mcmourning crews on ebay and buying into TT or Arcanists instead. In my area 2nd started Resser/Neverborn heavy and ended Neverborn/Gremlin heavy but it looks like way more people are looking into arcanists, ten thunders and to a lesser extent guild and none of those have ever been the majority in my area before. But thats a new edition for you, better it mixes it up than you play against the same meta forever till it gets boring. Thats been the death of a lotta TCG's in my experience.
