If you mean like 52% instead of 48%, yea sure. If you mean like 67% vs 33% (with decks that generally fair evenly) then not in 1 million years.

It just makes the players use it more. Either the DM TPKs them over it or he doesn't. If they don't and are too injured they just repeat.

I mean, counter/control hasn't not been the better play for a bit. You'll still get wins with it though, at least until everyone stops playing with you.

It's always been. That's literally the nature of random draw card games. There's some modicum of skill in play, do I kill this 1/1 creature now or wait for something bigger. Etc. Do I play my big creature now or try to get them to use all their counterspells first, but the real skill is deck...

Ideally the license could be a bit less far reaching as well. Like if I post on D&D Beyond I obviously want my crap to be shared on D&D Beyond, but not shared for only god knows what else, i'm not really on board with that.

IMO, they deliberately design away from that unfun playstyle now.

To me that's in the same vein as targeting downed PC's to prevent yo-yo healing [by killing the PC's]. I can certainly do that as DM, but it doesn't seem many are, or that the drawbacks to such approaches are necessarily better. It's mostly just trading one problem for another. I don't...

I mean... If it wasn't control spells we'd be arguing that summon spells are OP. If it wasn't summon spells we'd be arguing large aoe damage spells are OP. If it wasn't large aoe damage spells we'd be arguing buff spells are OP. That said, I do think low level control spells are overtuned. I...

Curious for an example or 2?

FWIW, 2024 has grown on me. The downside: Characters are stronger with more magic and better control magic options, but there is more balance between PC's and I can always send more/stronger enemies at them. I wasn't sold on the no starting ASI's being moved to background, but that's not...

We mostly skew lower level so not much just due to that. The spell is theoretically good because it can trivialize one whole playstyle. Though there's quite a few where it has virtually no impact due to DM's just not targeting PC's during rests because the PC's aren't trying to abuse rests...

When did Roll 20 sales of 5e start? Though, VTT environment I think was a minority back then.

Yes... obviously it's everyone else and not the way the question was phrased or poll choices ;) Here's the deal, I think most of us will check it out to see if we want to adopt it. Even the ones that didn't vote that way, they did so not because they wouldn't have done that but because...

Sometimes the answer is, we just don't have the data to tell us. I fully believe WOTC when they say 2024 is outpacing 2014 in sales comparing from launch date to current. But we don't know if that time period accounts for 1% of overall 2014 sales or 99% of it. Most likely somewhere between...

It's wouldn't be surprising that in 2024 more sales are skewing digital than 2014. The exact ratio isn't know but we can guess it's substantially higher.

I don't know whether it happened, but even data from the same 'source' years apart may have had an update to it's methodology or data labels and past data may not have been retroactively updated or even the capture rate of that method has changed outside methodology or data labels. It may very...

IMO not sure. 2014 had a weird loophole where you could bonus action attack while holding a single hand crossbow by RAW. But without that it appears there’s little reason to dual wield anything and a hand crossbow.

No it’s because of the ammunition property.

You can’t. You don’t have the free hand to reload them.

Maybe just maybe most people don’t demand perfection. Maybe just maybe the broken game is houseruled into being fixed at most tables. I think there’s lots of better maybe just maybes than the game has no problems because it’s popular.
