I am officially "that guy". I cannot stop getting angry at blood bowl. It's embarrassing and I think everyone is starting to dislike me at my lgs. I don't know what it is about that game. I never get angry at mesbg or kill team.
I am officially "that guy". I cannot stop getting angry at blood bowl.
I literally can't imagine getting mad at a game barring something like the opponent cheating. Why do you get mad
I don't know. I think I have emotional problems. I always apologize immediately but I can tell I'm beginning to become grating.
I just can't help it when my opponent succeeds every block and breaks my armor everytime until most of my players are injured and one is dead.
What team you playing?
>emotional regulation problems
I dig. I have sometimes found having a few sort of silly ways to express frustration with fate helps it be both less grating for others and sort of trick yourself into it being a bit fun or at least amusing.
I started out with norse. The yhetee does nothing but sit on its ass after being knocked over. Now I have a dwarf team that I enjoy a lot more but I don't do any better or worse with them
The Yhet is an awful unit. Don't use it.
Norse teams aren't exactly high AV, they're mid range. All your main guys have block though, you need to work on your positioning so their able to support each other. If your dwarf team is getting taken out on the regular with the lowest AV you have being 9+, idk what you're doing.
Sounds like a mix of needing to GG but also accept that BB is a fickle game at times and that's just how nuffle rolls.
I've only used my dwarves for gutterbowl so far against ogres. That was awful but I still enjoyed playing them.
>yhetee is an awful unit
It's ironic because I got the norse team because I thought the yhetee was cool
Never played gutterbowl. Looks like it has less turns and a more restricted board so yeah frick that. Going to be a hard time against ogres because you won't be able to gang up on them.
Most of the monster units in BB have fairly notorious downsides. They can be fun and flavourful but are by and large not good or reliable.
Try blood bowl immersion therapy. Play Hobbits.
Playing a tier 3 puts you in the mindset of 'I'm going to lose' rather than 'I'm trying to win.' I found it really helps you learn how to change gears and enjoy the randomness of the game a lot more.
Don't do goblins, though, the trolls will stress you out.
I don't play blood bowl but try picking a jokey team like orks. Instead of trying to win try to break your opponents face bones and having winning be your side quest.
Why not eh?
Buy new dice
you nshould get a bell
>complains that armor breaks everytime
>plays Norse
Maybe you might be less angry if got a better sense of the probability.
At AV7, a successful block breaks armour ~40% of the time.
That means you should expect every second succesful block to break your armour. If an opponent throws even 2 successful blocks one of your guys is getting stunned or worse. Even with Block, you should not expect anyone with AV7 to last long, especially over the many turns of a Bloodbowl game.
The only way to reliably reduce your casualties is to prevent your opponent from throwing too many blocks by breaking contact - either by dodging (Elves) or blocking your own guys free (the more typical Norse strategy). Even then, you need to assume casualties will happen and you need to play around them (much like Elves).
If you don't like this playstyle, play a team with at least AV8, if not higher (ex. Dwarves).
I can
Bad design elements stacked on top of one another to the point you have to assume it's malicious intent, but meanwhile homosexuals like you worry about cheaters. You probably think cheaters are in the room with you right now. I've seen your kind. They think people even cheat to lose. In what world does that make sense?
But it doesn't have too because you are a cuck who hates yourself and me. You want me to die. That's why you defend horrid game companies that design mk ultra shit but not a rational take. That's why you deserve a brick to the head.
I've never played blood bowl.
I don't intend too.
But I've seen this happen over and over to the point gamers should be classified as a national security threat.
>Bad design elements stacked on top of one another to the point you have to assume it's malicious intent
This here is why I'm always mad internally whenever facing oppenent playing bonereapers in aos. That army is so fricking idiot proof it's frustrating.
Bonereapers in AOS do have 1 weakness
BULLETS seriously shoot the frickers big shit first like harvester and nuke down things 1 by 1 because of all the bullshit revives you need to fully destroy a unit before targeting another one and make sure for his regular Mortek Guard infantry to not use high rend weapons if you can avoid it. Instead use lots of shots because they can use a command to literally ignore negative save roll modifiers and a very high resistance to mortal wounds across the army thanks to spells so banking on high damage shots wont work. Oh and attempt to dispell every spell you can or interrupt commands.
I quit aos after I played against teleporting trees. Quit 40k after getting anally raped in my anus by a handful of yvarahs behind a void shield. I play mordheim now.
Getting visibly mad in a public setting over bad game design is still incredibly childish anon
I like Bloodbowl, but it's a game where bad dice luck can frick you over more than probably most games I've ever played. It does lead to some incredibly funny moments, but it can also be so bad that even with optimizing to mitigate bad luck somewhat your team absolutely implodes and you do nothing for a whole game, and if you're playing in a league this can also frick you over by knocking out or straight up killing your players. I still think overall it's a fun game, but it is basically engineered to make your piss boil from time to time.
Failure in video games reminds me of my own failure as a human bean.
Take less risks. Don't use your rerolls unless you really have to.
But yeah, its a janky game at times no matter how well you play. Just part of it. If you can learn to accept the absurdity of losing on the last turn because you needed anything but a 1, it'll be okay.
>Anything but a 1
I learned long ago that this sentence is NEVER to be uttered when playing Blood Bowl. It is like catnip to the Dice Gods.
Stop playing Blood Bowl then.
Honestly I've been there, but with a different game (Monsterpocalypse 2e)
Nothing more rage-inducing that to put all that effort into positioning those small 40x4 dollar lumps of Privateer Press metal and mold line infested resin on the board just right and then you miss exactly one power attack on your turn 2 and you may as well forfeit after the wombo combo clap back.
Reason why I'll probably never play the game outside of friends along with not giving a frick about playing optimally.
you're a homosexual who hates fun, clearly.
There is not a single person that doesn't get mad at BB. Even guys that have been playing it for over two decades weekly still get pissy when Nuffle fricks them. If you feel anything when you get a 16 turn beatdown, your 32 sp runner slips and breaks their neck or your moronic opponent hits their seventh 1d pown into injury of the game, only to take a 2d uphill, pow your ball carrier into the crowd, give them -1 M and have the ball scatter right onto one of their pieces, ready to walk it in, then you are Buddha himself.
What counts is what you do when you're mad. BB is a game about anger management.
Cringe. Learn to alter your expectations around this and maybe you can teach yourself to react less.
You should be embarrassed. Blood bowl is a competitive balancing act. If you frick up and tumble, try to fall with grace, or try to unbalance you opponent in turn. Behaving like a whiny b***h wont make you feel any better.
Some of the best games I've had have been when I'm the underdog. When the outcome matters less the more outlandish bullshit becomes something to reach for.
Blood bowl is tailour made to make you angry. If you're being looked at as a sperg for raging over it then stop playing it. You're not having fun if you're raging all the time. If someone asks say no thanks, brings out the worst in me and leave it at that. It shows you're mature enough to realize it's unhealthy and move away from it. I talk from experience when I say don't play games that make you angry. It won't end well for you or those around you.
>If someone asks say no thanks, brings out the worst in me and leave it at that. It shows you're mature enough to realize it's unhealthy and move away from
It shows you're the sort of person that gets angry about games which is the opposite of mature but at least you're trying I guess?
Acknowledging your immaturity is extremely mature anon, people who pretend they don't have any are 100% lying to themselves.
I don't know about OP, but I'm someone with an extremely long fuse who would normally not be absolutely fine whether winning or losing a game. I play Blood Bowl at least partly to train my mental resilience, because it is tailor made to frick with an invested player's emotions. It's absolutely not for everyone.
Blood Bowl is the last game you should get frustrated at.
It doesn't even pretend it's balanced, it's purely roll dice and hope you don't get fricked.
You're not playing for sheep stations, so just play a stunty team and play just for laughs.
Ironically it is the most balanced GW game apart from the literal joke teams.
>I never get angry at kill team.
Really? It's literally the worst "gotcha moment" game GW makes.
homie it's blood bowl it is supposed to be a highly random goofy game you don't take seriously and just roll dice to see how your team progresses, change your mindset and realize what the game you're playing is or go play some warmachine or something instead if you get this upset over beer and pretzels campaign games
The problem isn't you OP, except insofar as it's your fault for playing BB in the first place. It's a trash game for midwits.
I played the computer blood bowl for a while before getting bored, but I always wondered - is passing viable at all? It seemed like every single game was a tie based on running the ball and whoever "won" was whoever killed more of the other players. Whenever I played elves and passed, it just hurt me more.
Skill issue
Brain issue
Interested in this question because I had the same experience
I had this problem with fighting games until I started picking joke characters that are canon losers. It's hard to get mad when the jobber jobs.
So in blood bowl the answer would be to play halflings?
Dan in SFV is so fricking good though, literally git gud. I slapped the shit out of every other Dan i fought because he's the reincarnation of the invincible dragon.
are dark elves still good?
I mean,
Blood Bowl is practically designed to piss you off, so there is that. Love it though.
I'm playing ogres in our local league. I have zero interest in winning, I just wanna kill other people's players and frick them for playoffs
>I am officially "that guy"
Nah, you're just an AI with a text processor
Since I cant find any other BB thread I'll ask here. What do I need to play BB Anons?
Blood Bowl is usually discussed in the /gwsg threads.
bare minimum you'd need
- You need the rule book or pdf.
- the necessary minis (or proxys) for a team of at least 11. if you 3d print, you've got lots of potentially free options.
- dice (you can 3d print these too)
- a pitch (game board) or an appropriately sized stand in (15x26 squares for standard)
- a scatter diagram and passing marker (but you don't actually need these. you can just draw one and count squares for passes)
Alternately, GW sell a humans vs orks starter box.
You buy all official gw stuff you spend maybe a bit over $100.
you pirate/proxy/print and it's basically free.
I asked few time there, never got any response.
So basically its one box of my team of choice+ dice on my and and a 2nd player who has the pitch, all the compendium and so on books are unnecessary.
Ty Anon, may the gods of dice bless you.
if you by an official GW box, be aware that they don't necessarily give you everything you'll WANT for your team.
They almost never include your team's "Big Guy" and won't always include the max number of certain position players (i.e. you can optionally field 4 up to 4 pestigors on your Nurgle team, but the GW box only comes with 2 and doesn't come with the rotspawn.)
BUT every box contains enough for a legal 11 player min team.
I was going to buy Reinland Reivers. Guess they are one of such teams- I'll fish fish for missing parts later down the like I than.
>play Khorne in a league
>in 7 games have 6 deaths (3 blood seeker deaths, 1 chaos spawn, 2 linemen)
>fired a ton
>have a TV of 880 with 6 journeymen for the last two games
>commisoner allows me to reroll a team
>pick lizardmen, first game 5 sauruses are knocked out before the first half against Norse
Why does the universe hate me
played a friendly game against my buddy's Khorne team. Ironically, on a death casualty roll the mini broke at the ankle as he was placing it in the dugout!
Looks like Khorne has some curse associated with it. I've obviously brought bad spirits into my house and dice
if it's just blood bowl maybe stop playing blood bowl
