Title: Focusing on a meta unit doesn't automatically equal netdecking
Post by: silentflames on March 26, 2016, 06:52:13 PM
I just want to say that just because you see someone using a commonly used unit doesn't mean that they are joining the band wagon, netdecking or whatever. There could be plenty of other reasons to why they use a popular unit, such as it suits there play style or just simply because they like how it works or looks.

I don't use Dragonic Overlord focused decks because they're meta in fact I would still use them even if they weren't, my reason is because Kagerou suits my play style the best, for the longest time I've been a huge fan of flame dragons, and because Dragonic Overlord in general is my avatar. When I make a build focused on Overlord I look through cards that would work in the build, not by copying someone else's build.

Also if you're going to automatically make assumptions on why your opponent is using a commonly used unit you are being straight up rude.

First off, most of the time, when its a new card or set of support, quite alot... and I mean alot of people jump the hype train. As for net decking...

Netdecking is the practice of copying a championship-winning deck as used in either Nationals, World Championships, or any other high-profile event where Deck Lists are posted. Thats means your copying the exact build as it was wrote on a deck list and not making your own changes. Now lets say your deck just so happens to be the same as one that won at the world championships, thats net decking.

KAGERO (not Kagerou learn to type the name correctly) is generally one of the most bandwagon jumped clans their is, besides Shadow's and Royal's support.

As for your final statement, its not rude, players each have different ways of thinking and are allowed to so freely, if they are wrong about it, let them be wrong and just play the game and have fun with the clan and deck that your using at the time.

Personally, I prefer ya mom. Nay just kidding. But really though. I feel that "Netdecking " is kinda a loose term in general. It could be copying a winning deck in order to instantly gratify one's own feeling of needing to win or even to imitate another's take on an ideal that intrigued them. Netdecking, that is the act of making someone else's deck/creation your own for personal benefit, is sorta like: Why bash those who are simply in it to win it? I mean if that's their thing why even bother? I don't dislike  Victor or even those who choose to main him. I, instead dislike the concept of G-Novas tossing the rest of the clan to the trash heap. Everybody plays Vanguard differently and for different reasons. Perfect example is when I last had a Cardfight with Bee against his G-Novas. Which obviously focused on Hank, Sazanda and Victoplasma. Even though we both mained Victor, my key choices such as Meteokaiser Tribut made the difference. So if you feel like there's too many copycats and that everybody and they mama netdecking, worry not! It simply means that they decided to stay with the hiking guide on the trail that's all :V

Go to the wiki, it's also shown as being spelled 'Kagerō' which is pronounced as 'Kagerou', another way of spelling it if you don't want to spell it as 'Kagero' or have no way of typing the o as ō. (The only reason I'm able to type it as ō is because I'm on mobile).
