Imo a lot of people would probably greatly appreciate it if you would more often after a battle open up the dps thingy, especially before and after making big changes to a build. Pre and post fire staff for example

This is super useful feedback. I'm so bad at remembering, I'm trying to do it more :) but my memory is terrible, I'll slowly get better at it and learn what things to check (this will be useful for me to improve at the game as well). Definitely comment if there are specific times when I should check, and if you do timestamps help a ton 0:00, tyty!

1 run: Very strong Falcon, Falcon/Hammer, Hammer+Long start. Yes, you lost 2 rounds out of 4 but this is premium. No idea how you have lost this one, I'm very curious :P 10:40 Of course you go Falcon/Hammer on Anvil with this stuff. But yeah buying pig was bad here as was not reserving Goob. You want Goob on Falcon and Dagger. The correct play was to buy gloves, make Falcon and reserve pig and Goobo. Also you are making a slight mistake of putting fanny packs on a Hammer. You want them mainly on bananas and yeah next fight was so close (dude highrolled as fuck) that it mattered. You win this fight with fannys on grocery. 13:30 Poison Daggers are no bueno with Flask on 7. With 4 yes. You gonna always make at least 1 Molten Dagger with flames and you really want Blood Daggers. 15:30 Bad match-up but again you lost by bad positioning combined with big mistake of not making Falcon last round. Even without Falcon I think you win this with proper positioning. Also you definitely win this if you have bought Goobo. 20:00 Again: Goobo good, another Dagger and fanny bad :P Too early for another. And fanny packs as always badly placed along grocery this time. 22:00 Jesus Christ passing Goobo for 3 and a coal xd 22:50 Bad grocery and fannies again, -1 vamp due to bad positioning, grabbing shoes for 6 which you never buy instead of stam pot and really bad match-up. Makes sense :P Great run wasted by mistakes and bad match-ups. No luck this time in queue and every single of your mistakes mattered. You make no mistakes and you are on 3 lifes. Even the last one is won. Would have been a crazy good build at the end. 2 run: Holy fu** this is an OPENER. -6 with flame badge, shovel and a pig. Bro with 30 rerolls in unranked I probably won't get sth as good :D Nuts. 24:30 You reserve tusk for 2. It's not amazing but for 2 it's a buy. Also claws are amazing. 24:40 You lost because of your laziness :P Extra 2hp from Pig wins cuz next in queue is Hammer and they are on 2. You win this with 1 hp. 25:20 Correct play but indeed selling a flame would have been better. Reserving Garlic was a serious possibility which I probably take. Bad positioning: you can have either +2 max hp or banana in bag. Both actually win fight again :D So you are -2 life only because of your laziness ^^ I hope now you realize why I'm sometimes nitpicky with those small things in the early game. They really can matter :) 26:50 Another fight lost with no buisness. You should buy pan, create burning coal with a coal in the weapon and shell to the backpack or alternatively wait a round with upgrading coal and flame to the backpack. This is won. I can't watch further :D It hurts. Gonna scroll to see what you ended up. Yeah very weak build for such opener with badge. You even had Deer on sale ffs xd Lamp for 7 on single Shovel on 7. Jesus Christ. Also - 1 vamp for no reason in the final fight. I guess you had to be really lucky to survive till 18. You need to step up bro as you are making too many mistakes.

These comments are super helpful! Sorry for late reply, I read these on phone days ago but trying to reply to them there is basically impossible. I always mean to come back to my computer and respond then get distracted. And if I "like" or "heart" your comments they disappear from my queue. So I mean to come back to them, re-read and respond. For Falcon Blade I think this was one of the first times I've ever used it. So the tips are even more useful. For the pyro badge, again just lack of experience, claws being strong there makes sense I don't know how to play deer at all! Maybe someday. Feels like that'd be good for Egg. I take vamp too much when it isn't useful. Definitely a stat I over-value a lot of the time. Mistakes mistakes mistakes! I do learn from them a bit quicker when they get pointed out at least :) otherwise I have to make the same one a few times before I realize it.

@@BackpackBattles I mean Vamp is now the most broken buff so hard to overvalue it unless running 1 melee weapon or having no dmg/no heal amp. :P What you really overvalue is a new Lamp. 1 is often really good cuz you use accuracy bonus effectively. However subsequent are often not worth it even on Rapier. Falcon or Fortuna would be an exception cuz you have virtually double the effect. If you go too hard on Lamps (minus Falcon) you reduce your build cap a lot as you no longer can afford more advanced setups and you are forced to do straightforward things. They will be still effective right now but later they won't (minus blind match-ups) and if you are paired against sb who went for more advanced setup with that gold you lose. There is no 'if's' and 'but's', it's just plain 0-1. I played against multiple lamps in survival many times and I lost ONCE vs Axe on Lamps when I was running blind build. So when you buy consecutive ones you have to realize it is actually somewhat risky. It's still might be a play obviously but be careful with them. Try out Deer if there is an opportunity. It doesn't necessarly have to be an Egg. You buy collars for 6 for 2 second extra BR right? It's 3 of them, minus these 3 spikes. 10% dmg reduction and 7 heal is again good in anything that isn't trying to race the dmg. Can be super fast Goob activator, shells are now nature which can help with stars. Even if you miss you simply can't miss badly. It's too good to be bad :D It might be only mediocore.

@@BackpackBattles I want to show you sth and I would appreciate if you look it up. It's kinda important in the bigger picture. Last link (Le). Kinda wall of text but I believe it should be interesting. It's mid plat cuz I dropped Reaper at some point from mid diamond to check out meta at plat. First of all you said that crazy builds are unreliable in ranked: this is an attempt for one of the craziest Reaper builds (Vampiric-Unhealing with Prismatic and Hungry). Failed due to the lowroll (no broom whole game after round 3 and only 2x chipped rubies lol) so I was forced to switch into Prismatic+Hungry+Hungry/ManaThirst. They are reliable if you play really well whole game. Secondly I needed that crazy heal (dps was around 70/sec in that fight: also take note of synchronized garlics for lamp) otherwise I would be dead. This guy had 111/sec with insta lamp setup on Prismatic, Longsword, Ripsaw, stones and lucky buffs from Mega. I have to tank it to win. Previous opponents weren't much weaker if weaker at all: lower dps but they all have been crazy highroll (for plat) prismatic/orb boards, another strong Mega and 1x highroll ice build. So yeah going for crazy build wasn't overshooting it by any means. And here we reach third point: this is only mid plat. Your opponents in mid diamond are considerably weaker. Why? Because of MMR. Pairing in ranked also involves MMR which is also modified by bonuses: winning/losing streak and possible board value bonus. I believe you don't have high MMR (avg.?) so the game "goes somewhat easy" on you and you are banned (they mostly aren't in your pairing range) from hitting top boards in ranked. When your MMR goes up you are getting harder match-ups. Contrary, I have super high MMR so even at mid plat I will be facing in survival nutty boards constantly. In fact at mid plat probably only sth like top 5% (I believe it's lowest possible range) of MMR's modified by the bonuses will be in my range if I'm not losing. So yeah 2 different people can be at the exactly same rank but it doesn't necessary mean they are playing against same pool :P It can happen that one is playing only against bottom 30% and other is playing only against top 10%. This is totally different game. In other words the better you get the more you have to go for very strong builds no matter what your rank is. And if you are climbing you increase your MMR so even if you play "safe" at some point you will be forced to go loco if you want to continue playing in survival. Also this is a another reason why very high MMR players often don't particularly like ranked and many of them, me included, plays unranked. About RNG at the start I mentioned but here is another factor: rank doesn't matter that much for us in terms of pairings in survival. The fact that pool is overall weaker is meaningless if we play against only X% of the top so whether this is plat, unranked or masters differences will be small. However MMR in ranked or unranked doesn't work before survival so up to the survival when we have to get somewhat crazy stuff going we will be playing against players who want to preserve their rating, climb fast, often don't plan going survival at all and etc. Plenty of midrange if the meta is midrange and often is. This puts us in INSANELY unfavorable position because we need to defend against tempo and non scaling midgame builds while once survival hits we need to beat nutty lategame comps. So yeah we can't punish anything that doesn't scale (unless we start losing and our temporary MMR drops) into survival cuz we simply won't play against these comps :D Also midrange has a total freeroll against us and it doesn't feel fair tbh. We simply must go nutty whether we are dieing early/mid or not cuz otherwise death is only a matter of time. If we don't we can't enter survival as it will be a suicide and I really like playing survival ;p
