The fun question is… how many years ago was the last one

Around 3 years ago. Because i took a break for 3 years from the game.
And to this day no one matched my records

I personally think you guys should 1v1 for the title of biggest grinder @NMEduck @Mr.X
Record the battle too, that’d be cool. And as a benefit, maybe we’d stop seeing “no, I AM the best” every few days in random threads.

The result is obvious but it would be very fun to see that
It would be fun, but at the current moment am behind and still collecting monsters that i have missed over the past 3 years. So duck collection is much better than mine.

That’s too collection dependent since I’m something like 20-1 since he returned. The real answer is that a comparison between us can’t be made based on just pvp placements and records since we were playing at completely different eras in the game.

No interest, it is obvious that Duck will necessarily win
No! Please remember that 20x top1 years ago will always be better than the ones scored now when we have a true competetive playerbase with a bunch of whales with huge collections. /s
That right there is way the game lost it competitive nature. A competitive game is balanced when everyone is equal not behind a large paywall

I agree. Stun lock nerf and ap spam being ■■■■ now definetely made the game less competetive for some.

There will always be strategies in the game that are top. At this point in time brain dead high speed fl and nyx are the dominating.
The main difference from today and back then, top pvp teams were not behind a large paywall. Anyone could have played ap spam or stunlock the key difference were the players skills
Well hmm, I guess you’re right! Looks like there’s no need to go back and forth on here about who is better then 
problem solved!
I respect you so much for this. You deserve being one of the best players in the game.

That’s not all of the differences. Back then, you had that terrible pvp system that heavily relied on winstreaks and grinding way more than winrate. In the current system, it’s all about winrate so long as you play the 92 total games in a ranked season. That’s still a lot for some players (not us) but it’s much less than before.
We had another f2p get top 1 just five months ago so where’s that paywall you’re talking about? It’s obviously a huge factor, but it’s not like things weren’t heavily p2w in the past either. Now we have the fortune shrine, which drastically reduced rhe advantage p2ws had over f2ps.
The featured rates back then were so abysmally low that only p2ws could get all the broken legendaries. These were the type that made the current eonarx look like a regular S tier legendary and it took ages for most of them to get nerfed. When you were getting your top 1s, you had way more of those broken legendaries than most. It simply wasn’t feasible for players to hatch enough of them without spending. Obviously there were some players who had more than you, but that’s the same situation I’m in except with mythics.
Nah that just means we need to compare other things that can account for the different pvp eras. The GOAT debate must go on!

I think many of us would really prefer it go on in private messages. Then you both can let us know what conclusion you came to
Here is where you are wrong. There is more grinding now then before as the duration of pvp have been extended to 3 days prior to 2 days before. rank 1 winrate had to be above 95% most of the times and losing was more punishing where one loss would take you back 3-4 games behind
During this time only 1 f2p player managed to gain rank 1 you cant use that as a argument because you have to be blind not to see how the game favors the paying customers now then before. Even now the rewards for pvp are behind a paywall 
Simply take my man lightgm one of the best players to have played this game hes F2P since mythics were introduced my man could not even make it to rank 10.
Back then almost everyone could copy an entire team, even f2p can copy the paying customers monster by monster. Now its impossible for a f2p to copy all the mythics a paying customer has.

From now on I want to be referred as paying customer 
One player making it to the list does not mean the game does not favor the paying customer more then before. Please get my point
