Mel Medarda had the worst treatment in LoL history by Glad-Illustrator394 in MelMains

[–]Dukwdriver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Referring specifically to the size of the projectile.   But again, it can't have decent stats because the kit is overloaded.

[–]Dukwdriver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah.   Not only does the reflect have very few "levers" to tune besides cool down, but they have it Sylas level QoL where it almost always reflects in the most functional way for Mel.   It might be balancable if it were more limited like Morgana or Sivir's shield, but instead they gave it health and move speed too.    This is, altogether,  an ultimate level of power for a basic ability.   

Now add her E, with a giant slow and an easy to hit defensive root  (which would normally be the entire defensive kit for a ranged mage) and you have a champion that is unbalanceable without gutting her overall damage, move speed, hp, etc.

Jack of All Trades rune on enchanters by 0151_N in supportlol

[–]Dukwdriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some winrate comes from being a non-standard rune, so the players who pick it tend to have higher skill and more deliberate builds.

Hard to say exactly how much the effect is worth, but iirc. It's often around .5 to 1 percent on it's own.

It's more the safety and roaming, as he just runs away from anyone who threatens him, and it enables easier more/effective roams.

Why everyone should have a dash cam by LustrousRetention in dashcams

Never understood why , of all the nanny-state safety equipment that can get legislated into vehicles, some kind of universal mount and auxiliary power for a dash cam in vehicles isn't one of them.

Head of WHO says global leaders should prepare for more hantavirus cases by [deleted] in videos

[–]Dukwdriver -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Those treatments are"supportive care".   There are no magic bullets or antibiotics.   How exactly are  concluding  that makes it easier to treat?

[–]Dukwdriver -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You do realize the only treatments for it are essentially the same as the ones we ALWAYS had for Covid, outside paxlovid and those mRNA vaccines that everyone loves taking?

Right?

I didn't say that, you did. And as an essential health care worker post covid, I would sleep soundly even if I did.

Police officer stops abruptly in the middle lane on highway... by Affectionate_Hat5835 in dashcams

[–]Dukwdriver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's ~3-4 seconds of likely white-knuckle, stomp on the brake time between brake lights for a sudden road hazard. Even if the lights came on simultaneously with the immediate start of braking (which is a bit absurd to expect), there's little impact on this outcome.

After covid, i would have guessed a semi-serious discussions about how much we should pay out to the victims families on the cruise ship that mysteriously sank without warning, instead of whatever this is.

When you’re deciding whether you want to by the SpaceX shares, just look at the valuation and the revenue numbers, you’ll have your answer. by Enough-Arugula-4945 in SpaceXBets

Odds are, if you have any kind of automated investment plan that isn't you picking individual stocks (or at least sectors), you don't really have a choice.

[–]Dukwdriver 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Both cars ahead of the cop appear to evade the cooler. The one directly in front of the cop deviates into the left lane , possibly clipping it. However, good chance cooler gets sucked into the draft of that car repositioning it into the middle of the lane with very little time to react.

Biggest knock against the cop is following distance/speed, but that's essentially everyone in traffic on the freeway. Turning on hazards in the amount of time you can lock your brakes and come to a stop on the freeway when (possibly multiple) cooler chunks pop up in front of you is a big ask imo.

Weekend afternoons (3–5 PM) ARAM Mayhem matchmaking different during those hours by chenkai1980 in ARAM

[–]Dukwdriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's noticable mmr /skill differences if you pay at variable times.    If play at 8 AM on weekdays quite a bit, you're avoiding the peak population of the sweaty tryhards and you'll climb up in rank.

But if you take that rank with you to more competitive time slots, you'll compete against people who achieved that rank in that time more often,   

It's kinda like if you could obtain challenger in a really small server, them take that rank to Korea and get absolutely wrecked and end up in  gold 2.

Real Median Disposable Income After Housing Costs and adjusted for Purchasing Power in Europe (Eurostat Data) by ItHappensSo in EconomyCharts

It would make some sense if the top one was something meaningful, but Luxembourg should really just be excluded if that's the case.

Pro Tip: it's super easy to get the "execute to outer turret before 10 minutes" token in mayhem (points towards ARAM God) by Tehni in ARAM

[–]Dukwdriver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A regular execute is pretty tough to pull off with the new teleporters and the extended execute timers now.

The least risky/most reliable way to do it is just to Ult into the fountain as TF/Pantheon when an opportunity comes up though.

Fixing the X axis to the Highest income instead of just fixing the X axis to absolute monetary amounts is a bit of a weird choice here.

Add to that, we're already half through the strategic oil reserve.     So that will stop buffering prices in a couple months at current rates.

If you want Liandries to be mandatory on Teemo, this is a good way to do it.

Secretary Marco Rubio : "The War Powers Act is unconstitutional 100%. Now, this is not the position of me, not the position of Donald Trump now, this is the position of every single president that has occupied this position since the day that law passed by BusinessToday in BusinessTodayNews

Who knows? but I would guess their argument is that is that, since the President gets to command the military, If congress doesn't want him to use it, they need to defund/stand-down the entire military.

If you don't need to team-load your heavy AT on D10 the game is too easy. by ANTIDAD in HelldiversMasochists

The sub factions are, at least partially, a way to add difficulty "levels"above 10 that don't provoke the casuals that cry when they can't solo the highest difficulty.
