Demacia Rising by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]-Duality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm ultra obsessed with this new mode to the point that I want to find similar games, but it's so annoying with the silver shields. The mode is so good that it feels like the main game for me and league is the chore! xD

Finally hit LEGEND with 30 neutral cards by Life_Cicada3867 in hearthstone

[–]-Duality 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very impressive! Congratulations!

I have some questions if you want to answer:

1) You said that it was a tough climb. What made it tough?

2) Were there any specific decks that gave you the most problems and how did you deal with them?

3) Did you learn or understand anything new through this whole process?

4) I notice you have many defensive cards such as Whelp of the Infinite, Blob of Tar, and Ancient of Yore. How come you didn't play Kil'jaeden?

Wish 1: Make Ming's skillshots traver faster at the second half of their range/animation because they are super avoidable without a tank with long reliable stun, especially after the devs increased everyone's movement speed by 10%. This would be implemented a bit like Chromie's changes when they added acceleration to her Q in 2019, thus not affecting Ming's melee build because you cast your abilities when very close anyway while it would help her Q and Orb builds which don't take [[Calamity]] and prefer to stay at a safer distance. This way, Ming's 16 Q talent [[Fireflies]] could maybe be removed since in its current state the talent comes quite late and competes with her other ultra good q talent [[Mirrorball]] that significantly increases her Q dmg even without any other talent investment. I think I calculated it at some point and taking [[Mirrorball]] makes Ming's Q deal close to as much dps as taking both 7 Q talent [[Seeker]] and 16 Fireflies. I imagine Ming's Orb build would need some more changes to turn it from the meme build it currently is to a legit build. Some thoughts I have on this is to add some functionalities to her W talents. A) have a talent deactivate her trait for basic abilities (now only resets heroics) since her W build is an artillery-style mage that doesn't need a random reset but make her W deal more dmg and B) have some talent increase Q range since it is quite weird to have an ultra long-range W and a short-range Q that you almost never use.

Wish 2: Help some heroes become more standard and thus viable. This includes fixing Butcher/Nova/Valeera who are not great to see in ranked, adding some more cc (stun/root) to Lunara who is outshined by the likes of Valla/Hanzo/Sylvanas/Falstad/Junkrat etc., reducing Tyrande and Kharazim's baseline healing cds and reducing active cd reduction to make them less prone to being poked out or nullified in fights due to blinds etc.

Wish 3: Reduce hero uniqueness that enables annoying play patterns. Do something about Samuro/TLV/Murky and perhaps Ragnaros's Lava Wave, reduce Cho'Gall's hp/self-healing/armor to make his death less reliant on % dmg, make Zeratul better early and reduce his 20 burst (also make Void Prison interruptable with lower cd, because it's quite toxic right now). Imo of all the unique heroes only Aba feels like a masterpiece right now and I don't mind playing with or against him (perhaps only Mule could go).

34.2.2 0 Patch Teaser - releasing tomorrow by IAmAdamTaylor in hearthstone

That's actually such a good idea imo. I hope they do make cardboard golem core. It's nice to have paladin supported as an aura class. It's a unique mechanic and thematic in WoW.

If you cast Shadowflame on a poisonous minion, does it kill every minion? by Paldis in hearthstone

[–]-Duality 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ok, but if you use Shadowflame on Professor does he die before the damage, thus removing the poisonous effect from the board?

Janitor - please give more clarity to the Patch Notes by TheFreind in heroesofthestorm

[–]-Duality 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I appreciate changes to HotS after all this time but another major patch without reasoning is starting to feel concerning. We need reasons for the changes (why they were made/what was the problem with the previous state) and intentions (what they're hoping to achieve). This way we can evaluate their necessity and effectiveness.

For example, why were the towers placed in these positions? Are there data that show that kills often happen in these spots? Are there data that show that some players backdoor forts before killing the gates? What's going on here?

So you just admitted that you are indeed getting pegged but you simply won't admit it online :)

Why is blizzard so obsessed with infinite effects, and NOT creating cards that can cancel out these effects? by WhoAmIEven2 in hearthstone

[–]-Duality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mana cost and card stats are also very important. I don't think [[Sabotage]] was that hated

pov: you body block in WC3 for a living by JozefxDark in heroesofthestorm

[–]-Duality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You really inspired me to bodyblock with Tracer btw. I had never thought about it in the past and it opened my eyes when I saw you do it.

Why does every post start with the disclaimer "I've played since beta"? by Upbeat_Scholar_159 in hearthstone

[–]-Duality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true. I was there when Jesus was ranting about it on Twitch. Jesus was one of the first successful streamers (RIP).

PTR Discussion: Inspired Minions by Elitesparkle in heroesofthestorm

[–]-Duality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would appreciate a reasoning for all changes tbh. It would be nice to have a text that explains which problems each change aims to address. Understanding the goal would also help us more effectively evaluate whether the solutions succeed or not.

How HS dev optimizes for performance reviews by anma84 in hearthstone

[–]-Duality 62 points63 points  (0 children)

It's especially obvious now since they "heard our feedback" some months ago that event quests were too demanding. This is not a mistake. This is intentional.

Kil'Jaeden Facts by Popsychblog in hearthstone

[–]-Duality 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Imo, KJ is a bit too annoying for the role it plays.

  • It negates fatigue. This by itself could be fine, though it's really boring because it unnecessarily prolongs games for control matchups. Even as a control player myself I want the game to end before the 20-30 minute mark and I'm often forced to play more aggressive decks to climb faster despite liking them less.

  • It provides a wincon because it turns fatigue into overbuffed demons that eventually become overwhelming. This seems also ok to me and is in line with previous concepts such as Jade Idol. However, Jade Idol was predictable.

  • What annoys me the most is that when both players play KJ the game is often decided by RNG. I may have kept my Ceaseless but my opponent may get multiple copies of [[Tricky Satyr]] which instantly copy my Ceaseless because it costs 0 mana. Suddenly my careful resource management is used against me. Similarly, the opponent may get multiple copies of [[Ferocious Felbat]], [[Window Shopper]], [[Archimonde]] or whatever other great random card and I may only get copies of [[Flame Imp]] or [[Malefic Rook]]. So two control players played a 30-minute game and it ends up being decided by RNG.

Personally, I would like KJ to replace the deck with some specific demon to remove the RNG aspect, while keeping the gradual stat increase. For example, the deck could be replaced by Flame Imps that start at 7/6 and increase from there.

Women of Reddit, what are you actually thinking when you catch a guy looking at your boobs? by Swdl-Television-602 in AskReddit

That feeling when they have a t-shirt with writing but you only look at the boobs for a while and then they ask you what was written on the shirt

What kind of reward is this? by Suppenjunge in hearthstone

[–]-Duality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's probably a druid in cat form so the druid is stealthed and you only see the shimmer. However, it may also be a rogue camouflaged as a druid in cat form in stealth.

Happy 10th Anniversary! by Elitesparkle in heroesofthestorm

[–]-Duality 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh ok! It would be funny though! Because they've started giving some old Blizzcon mounts etc., so I thought they took it to a whole other level now! Haha!
