The crew is back, and this time we’re talking Tavern Brawl team management where we share some advice and lessons learned on how to help your squad run smoothly across a long season.
Next up, it’s been quite a while since the last balance patch, and one upside of that fact is that we have substantial sample sizes to work with. So that means it’s time for a Meta Mashup!
Speaking of data, Filtrophobe unveils a vibe-coded ELO system using Hero Helper stats, complete with four different ranking interpretations depending on which game types are being factored in.
And with upcoming nuptials on the horizon, Tuff and Dubz take a moment to deliver some advice to the husband-to-be.
All this and more on the latest episode of Sparks & Rec. Thanks for listening!
