@pokeling_ @guihc03_ @_GideonGraves @shawn_odonaghue @RiotPhroxzon you think mages being op bot is a “different issue” from what mages have to gain by going bot? Lowelo apc goyim have lost their damn minds

@guihc03_ @_GideonGraves @shawn_odonaghue @RiotPhroxzon most mages don't have anything to inherently "gain" from going bot, most mages depend on xp to be strong relative to game state (wave clear breakpoints, etc), that's the important part if mages are op bot, then that's a different issue that should be looked at accordingly

Patch 26.14 Preview! MSI is in full swing! Had some awesome games and we're pretty happy with the meta overall. There's decent representation across each class (assassins in jungle, a few LeBlanc picks). Nerfing down some of the strongest picks in bot lane have also led to mages bot being more present in the meta. We don't find this state particularly problematic right now, but we have had several conversations about the true power level of mages bots (especially when they carry high winrates). That said, there are a few that are over performing in soloq (seraphine) so she's receiving a nerf, but the overall conversation is a lot more nuanced (which pairings, familiarity as opponents, etc.) Locke - Locke has had a really resonant start - players have resonated with his executes, resets and stack into burst gameplay - he's shown to be a little skill skewed in the same way that a Katarina, akshan or other resetty, roamy champions might be, but not overly so - that said he's still a bit strong when account for mastery growth and true power level - his level of early game snowballing is a bit too high right now - that said, we think his damage is appropriate if he needs to work a little harder to access it. As a result we're nerfing his waveclear (currently) to hit his ability to access it so reliably - we know that one of the things that players find confronting is his damage output right now, but we think it's valuable to retain these types of unique edges in the game for champions Systems - Rocket belt has been one of the premier items for mages (especially immobile) at the highest level for several months now. - We like and embrace this type of innovation, but it's also providing a bit too much versatility and removing a core weakness of these champs (ability to be killed), so forcing a bit stronger of a tradeoff - The other major systems change for this patch is a nerf to the mid boots upgrade for gluttonous greaves - it's adding a nice texture for playing say, mid vs top riven, but it's also the strongest performing boot in that lane and lacks clear counterplay - again, the innovation here is great, but just a bit strong

@Am3ricanMonarch @JackDunc1 Zero people give a shit about this sport outside your country, you got the Japanese to play baseball I guess but you didn’t get a single taker for this boring excuse-for-advertisement slog where the ball is in play for 15 mins out of 2 hours or less

@JackDunc1 Wanna do Gridiron?

Ok, let's play rugby

@luhsadd @ziggyboggy To me this speaks to how “interconnected” everything is in LoL. the individual skills don’t make much sense/aren’t really trainable exclusive from each other. Csing in prac is a different universe from csing with a lane opponent trying to kill you while you’re trying to kill then

@ziggyboggy League players are not in training mode practicing anything holy larp

This is intentional ignorance lol. Plenty of league, val, cod, cs:go players etc all spend time in the “lab”. They practice lane manipulation, camp clears, smoke line ups and aim practice etc. You’re just ass.

@Lurrold Factual 95% are BITCH MADE these days and it aint changing anytime soon

The Fighting Game entry debate is so stupid The reason people don’t pick it up is because the average competitive video gamer is a spineless worthless worm that belongs in a wood chipper to become mulch on a playground somewhere. Not being able to have your game salvaged-

@atopthe4thwall Why is everyone posting "thats my birthday" thats literally my birthday?

@Vallleyy1508 @Jacksfacebook i think at some point he recommended the iliad but as an audiobook on 1.5x speed which tells you about as much as you need to know. cant remember the translation

@Jacksfacebook Is Elon Musk even smart enough to read the Odyssey

Nolan just won Best Picture less than 3 years ago for a movie with an essentially all-white cast

@iMaximizing stoppp making me want to play this game again...

One of my personal favorite things about Destiny was it’s skyboxes.. Nearly every destination in the game has a full Day/Night cycle with near scientifically accurate lighting and orbits. I recall finding Europa moving in Io’s skybox before Beyond Light and being blown away.

@aquapronouns @ducky01616460 Just making shit up 😭😭

@ducky01616460 ralsei's already under the trans (AND nonbinary) umbrella (goes by he/they, currently a demiboy), it's not at all different.

@aguiltymushroom @GriffinHQ_ gold player ?

@GriffinHQ_ i think at 2 items most adcs are already better

Mage players trying to insist its not a problem and not been broken for ages. Zero counterplay Outrange, outscale, and self peel Nerf mages to the ground most unskilled broken champion class

@jacksonRoyCh What is this frothing devotion so many people have to "shaking up the meta" just for the sake of it. It's worse! I don't care if it's a "shakeup"! It just makes the game worse and less interactive and more boring

hot take: I don't LIKE mages bot, BUT they are really good from a meta shake up perspective and frankly its really annoying that ADC players REFUSE to learn any other class that isn't marksmen. When control mages fall out of meta mid, mids pivot to skirmishers (ahri/aurora)...

@OiKAWABL0G @penguin_misery there i am there i am again

@penguin_misery song name?

there i am, there i am again #deltarunespoilers

@SaskioLoL thresh is not like the others

If you are born in North America. Do not lock in any of these champions.

@thecheffromchef for me 0/0.5 - offensively awful 1 - fails on almost all levels 2 - mediocre + boring, but glimmer of art present 3 - many things done well but a few flaws 4 - highly enjoyable and well made, easy recommend 5 - fantastic masterpiece, immediately among favourite movies ever

Am I the only person that never ever rates movies of artistic merit this low? 2 stars and lower is for truly abysmal, no effort garbage. Borderlands type shit. Not fucking Yi Yi and Cure

@thinkiamsad if you asked me what poem is the least likely for anyone to say is dogshit id say like ozymandias probably

i don't think i've seen a single poem posted by anyone in the QRTs where there hasn't been multiple people in the comments calling it dogshit. are there just no poems anyone can agree upon

@ItzBasin well i would

@StebMcDreb hard agree

the thing w/ Marathon is I immensely respect the integrity and philosophy in making a multiplayer game as player hostile as it is for genuine artistic effect, but getting home at the end of the day and DMing a friend "yooooo hop on Pathologic duos" just isn't an enticing prospect

@insanenredacted "until further notice" is so tonally jarring lol. Noelle this could have been an email

I'm not trying to hate or be a negative Nancy and I don't think these are dogshit or low quality but surely you guys understand why stuff like this feels less scary and more eye roll inducing to me

gonna start calling this genre of deltarune fanvideo "omorislop" because it is clearly riffing off the black space segments in omori by bombarding a viewer's irises with meaningless visual noise in an attempt to be scary and it is equally as unintresting as it was in omori

@lempo0nade homestuck is the one series where i genuinely don't understand larpers like what's stopping them from using the same internet they're larping on to go to homestuck dot com and read the damn thing
