Oh interesting I'll check out that article thank you!!! Yeah I can imagine it's just easy to communicate quickly with those archetypes even if it's not that accurate sometimes. By the way, congrats on the new expansion, I absolutely loved the design of the 3 new champions specially the flexibility of the origins of Neeko and Poro King, I've been trying them with all the regions and it's really fun!
Glad you're enjoying the game. :)
Thank you for being kind. :)
Timmy comes from the three archetypes of players from the lead designer of MTG:
Timmy is the guy who wants to play big creatures on curve and get big splashy but simple effects, hence the unga bunga.
Johnny is the guy who wants to experiment and brew crazy meme decks and combos, even if they don't win if they did "the thing" they won.
Spike are the hyper competitive players who just want to win with the best deck in the meta and play it perfectly.
This the article he wrote about it, it's very interesting, you start to see how many cards in MTG and LoR are usually targeting one of the 3 archetypes of players

If you’re interested in this, I suggest checking out the “Timmy, Johnny, spike Revisited” article. It’s often ignored and far more useful for designers.
I don’t personally use this framework often for my own work because it’s actively confusing unless you are deeply deeply deeply familiar with it (often people think a card is obviously for timmy when in reality it’s a spike card etc) but many designers are familiar with it so I end up talking about it a lot.
Okay wingless birds aside, do you want to be the one that tells him he can’t count as a bird? We lost enough interns to telling draven he was “too weak” and needed a buff.
I’ll have recruiting reach out to you shortly.
EDIT - Apparently “but did you nid-a-see this pun” is not an accepted justification for an emergency hire. :(
My question is, when you kill a disguised Neeko, do you know you killed Neeko?
Why would you want to kill Neeko?
I just don’t kill any 2 cost unit anymore, just to be safe.
Not if you understood the reference.
