Check out my winning board that nobody else but me and Bob cares about

I'm glad people are having fun right now, but seriously can we collectively put a little more effort into the posts? Every other post right now is just a screenshot (some can't even bother to PrtScr) that gets downvoted into oblivion.

Don't get me wrong, I actually like seeing other people's (insane or super weak) winning comps but come on, add a little more context. What MMR are you, what major decisions did you make or did you just high-roll, your Millhouse game kicked ass how did you utilize your coins, how did you change up your minions in the final 5 rounds of 1 on 1? I'm sure there's more to discuss than simply bragging about your win.

You’ve got this. Have a good battle, friend!

Wanted to comment that I'm not sure if Bob cared. But you got a fair point there :)

IDK man, he calls me his favorite commander.

He thinks I can win this one!

I wasn't supposed to say anything, but Bob's actually been rooting for me this whole time.

That's "my mom says I'm handsome" tier. I have about the the same win percentage in both situations. I feel like I'm being lied to

IDk, he told me not to say anything. but he is routing for me.

No I am his favorite commander!!! Also, liking his new look in the brawl, Bob's looking hunky.

This sub gets like 2 points an hour so I'd feel like a total douche if I complained how some of them aren't interesting enough, but that's just me.

kzero0OP•

Yeah. Sometimes I'm really intrigued to want to comment stuff like "what MMR can win with this weak board" but I know I'll come across as a huge asshole raining on someone else's parade, ah well nevermind then. Good win, gg. Right now, I'd much rather comment on lower level MMR posts looking for advice.

I think it's fine to ignore posts you don't like, I prefer to have people posting than nobody posting at all.

So you kinda just negated the whole point of your original post

5
kzero0OP•

Huh? How so? If they added more context there'll be more stuff to talk about, instead of "hey look I won, look at my 2 baby hydras" it may be a discussion of how viable it is to fully switch to beast comp on tier 5.

What we mean is, if you want to see high effort posts make some. If you don't, just don't post whiny self defeating nonsense like this post. First day on the internet?

At least its content in a not that active sub

11
notGeronimo•

It's barely content. Ooh wow a big watcher and weaver how different from the previous identical post. Surely requiring at least a few words, like OP suggests would lead to an increase in interesting discussion and content.

5
Why_T•

An active sub with non-content (nontent?) is far inferior to an active sub with high quality content. A sub does have to have a new post every minute to be considered active.

I find this subs comment sections quite active and full of helpful people.

Tachiiderp•

I mean, you can just down vote them. Karma and attention are the only reasons people are continually posting them.

Then there's the guys that post mmr points. Especially the 6969s or 6666s. There's nothing unique about this. You won't be the first or last to post this. Its more or less a repost at this point.

TheGatewatch•

And make sure to turn on the setting in reddit where you don't see posts you downvote. It basically lets you use your downvotes to curate what you see.

Celebrating hitting 10k MMR is something people want to share :( let us celebrate those who got to 10k MMR

2
MitchRhymes•

Clearly a special case there considering that puts you solidly on the leaderboard. There are like 100 people who can post that. But to add some extra value you can share a few tips that helped you get that high and I'm sure the post will be well received.

Ainyann•

Imo "celebrating" 10k mmr is more like bragging or self-validating.

Do people seriously have no irl people to share their achievements with? Sure there're some who have nobody to share the experience with, but that shouldn't be too many, I hope so?

1
Edmund-Nelson•

No, but none of my IRL friends would understand the struggle it took me to get to 8k MMR :( nowhere near as much as people on r/bobstavern

2
Ainyann•

Nobody understands the struggle you yourself went through, espeially if there's no story - most mmr posts are like that sadly. And as I said, ppl posting about 7-9k mmr seems much more sincere to me than the 10k+ posts, especially if there's no story/text included. Maybe it's just me and our Finnish culture, where you're not supposed to brag.

1
Olandsexport•

Fair point, but poorly worded sarcastic title that does little to connect the community.

3
drpowercuties•

I'm with you OP. If there is context behind it, I'm ok with it. A single screenshot with the title "look at my board" should be deleted by mods

2
Jake1782•

Agreed.

Just sort this sub by "new" and take in the flurry of "check out my neutral Tirion comp!" posts

Meno80•

It would be interesting to see. I theorized that lower MMR probably have better winning comps because the can afford to be greedier in the mid game but I don’t know that as a fact. Maybe higher MMR players have better comps because they are more flexible in their play. Any posts would be anecdotal but it would still be interesting to see.

1
Ainyann•

Those crazy end game comps only come when you highroll your weeks worth of luck.

There's more room to play greedy in lower rated games and in general more ppl playing bellow 9k, so I would assume vast majority of such posts are made by 6-8k mmr players.

Nothing wrong with it, just my thoughts

Hi folks! I'm glad this discussion came up again since it's something I have been debating since the start of this sub. What I believe is the best course of action while the sub is small is to trend toward including as many posts as possible. Even so, if game highlights aren't your thing, feel free to click the "Discussion Only" filter in the sub sidebar. If game highlights are totally your thing, you can also choose "Images Only"

Why_T•

Quality content > quantity of content.

Reddit has plenty of boring non-inspired posts if I just want a lot of content.
I like my subs to have niche quality content.

This feature hasn't been working for me. When I go to the info page and try to filter for discussion only posts the message I get says: sorry we couldn't find any results for 'subreddit:bobstavern+self: yes'

1
chicachibiBob's Little Helper•

Interesting. Try this link instead: https://www.reddit.com/r/BobsTavern/search/?q=subreddit%3Abobstavern+self%3Ayes&include_over_18=on&restrict_sr=on&sort=new

You can also put "subreddit:bobstavern self:yes" (no '+' sign) into reddit's search bar to get there directly

2
DrManhattan747•

Thanks. Alternate link had the same error but the search option worked. Appreciate your efforts to run this sub!

Medashed•

I don't see the picture of the winning board, so low effort you didn't even add the screenshot. 3/10 would not recommend

1
kzero0OP•

Lol, my bad, fair enough.

Here's an insane Fiendish Servant+Baron combo that I faced yesterday. Sub-8000. Still had a chance of winning until the Hydra got the best possible hit and my minions couldn't hit Baron.

Taunting the Foe is debatable, I managed to buff it +10/+10 from the turn before, not sure if it's good move though. Normally I don't like taunting cleaves but I didn't want to taunt Cobalt or Harvest Golem either. Maybe Cobalt but I don't think my divine shields will respawn fast enough.

boudowijn•

I'm just a reddit noob. But when I posted a screenshot of a winning comp I didn't get the space for extra information.

1
kzero0OP•

The easiest way would be to just add a comment.

Or a text post and link the image, a lot more trouble formatting the link.

2
Pawneewafflesarelife•

It's funny because they did a poll and those types of posts were what people cared least about, but that's the majority of the sub's content.
