@patarinuh @Kasuke20251 @RiotPhroxzon Escape tool or damage tool and also his only form of wave clear

@Kasuke20251 @RiotPhroxzon Fizz E is not a long range, low cooldown, undodgeable ability. Plus, he has to choose whether to use it as an escape tool or as a damage tool. If he misjudges his burst, he’ll die since his escape is on cooldown. There is zero punishment for messing up Mel Q.

Patch 26.3 Full Preview! Ranked - Apex Negative LP Gains: We've found and are resolving the cause of some of the Apex tier negative LP issues. There will still be some negative LP gains at the super top of the ladder as the very very best players are pushing the limits of what's possible in the system, but it shouldn't be as widespread as it is - Aegis of Valor Eligibility: We're upping the value required for Aegis claims from C to B; we're seeing C's be too easy of a criteria, we think B still accounts for players needing to "play well enough" while accounting for players being on an unfamiliar role - Duo at top of Challenger: After being able to observe the power of duos on Live and how they're performing across the ladder, the very top of the ladder duos (eg. rank 1&2 together or 2x top 10) are too strong together. So we're making some adjustments to make these games more fair. - Enabling climbing indicator on 26.3: Climbing indicator is a feature that will help players understand whether someone's rank is low, but their MMR is higher (they are still climbing!). This will help players have a better idea about fairness of the match when there's say a Silver in a Plat game Jungle Champs - A lot of the proposed changes yesterday that were causing alarm were actually Jungle specific changes; don't worry we're not trying to buff Naafiri mid for example - In the new Season we wanted to increase Jungler ability to take objectives as part of their unique role power, amongst a few things like Epic monster durability adjustments (+armor to Drakes for example) - This & some new item additions caused a large internal shift of which champs were strong and weak in the jungle - This patch is our first pass at rebalancing these champs across the board - In general, many AD junglers are getting buffed, AP jungler nerfs (along with the Dusk & Dawn context from yesterday) Item Changes - There's a bunch of concern about Riot specialing certain champs (like Dusk and Dawn users) - For the most part, this is targeted at being power neutral on the item, but shifting its power budget somewhat - Some champions like Diana, Ekko, Varus synergize disproportionately extremely well with D&D and will receive targeted nerfs (but still find the item very attractive) - Actualizer is being buffed, and so to compensate as it's current only user, Ryze is receiving a nerf Mel - Riot Emizery put out thoughts on the changelist and I tweeted about it a while ago; can read up on thoughts there for more context - We will follow up where necessary for any balance adjustments required for Mel - We intend for these changes to overall be winrate neutral, but frustration down

@elonmusk What do you want us to say? ‘Wow, very rich man, your race is very virtuous’?

Slavery was standard practice throughout Earth until it was almost entirely ended principally by Anglo-American forces in the 19th and 20th centuries. Slavery still exists in some parts of the world btw. I’m not suggesting Britain was purely angelic, but, nonetheless, this is true.

This is not ok

@AllenSmithee6 @Osinttechnical That’s the descent rate, the ground speed was 246 knots

@Osinttechnical 11,000 feet per minute is only 125 miles per hour.

Dashcam footage of the Jet Rescue Air Ambulance crash in Philadephia tonight. The Learjet appears to have impacted the ground at a nearly vertical angle. The last transponder signal, sent seconds before the crash, showed a descent rate of more than 11,000 feet per minute.

@Caedrel It’s crazy how this feels unbelievable and inevitable at the same time

T1 were 1 game away from not making worlds after having lost to DK in a best of 5 over a month ago T1 are 1 game away from the worlds final and beating GenG what in the fuck is happening

@02weekend @Caedrel Truly Smashylove

@Crip777 @Caedrel Have you actually watched him play?

@Caedrel No just he has good support

someone in the LEC needs to pickup T1 smash ASAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP STEAL HIM FROM THEM QUICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

@deaconshoes Long have I awaited

It is once again that time

Nothing to see here, just my drawer of emotional support successful hybridizations

@Nicknackpady @ChessVonDoom Wasn’t it considered sort of a sideline until Fabi played it in the world championship match?

So I started rewatching The Queen's Gambit. Not a full watch, but specifically the chess games/scenes. It's so wild to watch it now, three years later, and actually understand the positions a lot more. What cracks me up is those scenes from her first event, where players offer a draw, and literally, one move later they resign or get mated, LOL. Dude: Draw? Other Dude: No! Dude: Welp, guess you got me. I resign. Me: ............

@EskimoDonny @AriDrennen 🆗

@Morgan_Colp @AriDrennen When used in the context of sexuality these are nothing more than fake terms used by mentally deranged people

They think "cis" is a slur because they use "trans" as a slur

@EskimoDonny @Aobius @AriDrennen No that’s just when they hit the right wing echo chamber and landed in your social media feeds

@Aobius @AriDrennen Yes but in the context of whether or not you chopped off your genitals those terms have only been used about 18 months

@EskimoDonny @AriDrennen Cis and trans are simply abbreviations of the words cisgender and transgender. The prefixes cis- and trans- are latin meaning on the same side of and on the other side of, and entered English vocabulary in the 1600s. They’ve been used in a gender and sexuality context since 1914

@AriDrennen Neither term is a thing

@chesscom If it’s free money, Scotch game. If I stand to lose anything, catalan

What opening would you play as White with $1,000,000 on the line? 💰

@lobiibobo @spittinchiclets More cringe than putting “Hawk” in your display name?

Social cause stick tape is back in business. Thoughts?

@deaconshoes I think it’s like “blurted” but more forceful

Did ejaculation used to mean something else? Reading war of the worlds and this dudes talking about I grew weary with the curate’s perpetual ejaculations

@anishgiri Will you use an engine to find the best angle for the selfie with Pragg?

My plan to speedrun my October impressions: 1.Announce selfie with Pragg 2.Selfie with Pragg 3.Selfie with Pragg analysis and recaps

@AGHamilton29 Or they flip 5 Republicans and make Hakeem Jeffries the speaker 🤞🏼

Matt Gaetz worked with far-left Democrats to oust the Republicans Speaker. Now there is no Speaker and the most realistic outcome is Republicans will need to cede substantial power to Dems to get anyone the votes they would need. And he did it all for attention.

@Brett_327 @thenewarea51 @HamWa07 I think they’re meant to monitor 121.5 but don’t think it’s automatic

@thenewarea51 @HamWa07 The USAF doesn’t do a ton of intercepts. The ANG is a different story. Do civilian GA VHF radios not automatically receive guard transmissions like military radios?

I love Switzerland, especially their cheese with the big holes 🧀 🇨🇭
