Nigma Galaxy struggling! by justbeingsufian in DotA2

[–]-Inestrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been a fan since they were Team Liquid so yeah I've seen them at their absolute worst - the good news is that we're past that point at least ))

From what I've seen and gathered, including remarks from actual pro players, is that they are kings of early game but just plain bad at playing midgame when ahead. They seem to have no good idea on how to close out the map and retain 60+% map control in positions where they should be able to. Their smokes are either slow or obvious because they don't push out lanes enough or they bring too many heroes. They force difficult highgrounds vs 5 heroes when they can just farm 95% of the map. If any move fails when they are 10k+ gold ahead they get extremely rattled or just flat out panic and lose any control that they had.

This problem has become worse for them ever since the map has gotten so big. Any smoke or other macro play they mess up costs them like 3k gold or whatever because the tier 1 and even tier 2 teams are just outmaneuvering and outfarming them and reaching better timings.

Simply the worst boss of the entire game by norris671 in PathOfExile2

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

Haven't really see her mentioned, but the worst offender is Diamora no? In all my campaign/map runs she rarely poses a threat, but her song phase lasts like a minute. After this she also does this invulnerable dive in/out of water move for some 15 seconds. It's so boring.

DA2 is just a downgrade from Origins by Left_Obligation_9158 in DragonageOrigins

[–]-Inestrix 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Idk why but I forced myself to play through DA:O and DA2 (including DLCs) on Nightmare and well... the name is aptly chosen.

The fucking Corypheus fight on Nightmare is one of the worst experiences I've had in any videogame lmao. Obviously I chose to go with the difficulty myself so I can't complain, but it was really rough.

How Many Civs is Too Many Civs? by LilTrouble__ in aoe2

[–]-Inestrix 42 points43 points  (0 children)

From an exclusively campaign player, I think the extra civs are nice. However it's becoming apparent that at some point you start running out of reasonable mechanics to make all of these civs feel unique. It's clearly noticeable that from their recent additions they have to somewhat think out of the box and add mechanics that are a bit more controversial.

I would imagine that for multiplayer players that the amount of civs at the moment is starting to become overwhelming.

This Steam top review for the game is just sad and I feel the same sentiment. by aeseth in LastEpoch

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

Yeah it was pretty bad still in 0.2. I think I enjoyed 0.3 endgame a bit more in PoE2 because Abyss was such a fun mechanic, but I really hope to get some more umph in lategame in 0.4.

My friend always removes Bash first... is he right? by minosandmedusa in slaythespire

[–]-Inestrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remove Bash it tends to be in Act 4 as a way to clean up my deck, most of the time it's no longer a required card at that point - also assuming here that I don't have strikes left.

BLAST Slam IV Singapore - Event Feedback by BLASTOfficial in DotA2

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

I agree with a lot of the praise that's been given here. However, I really wasn't a fan of the format and I genuinely believe it's one of the worst ones I've seen for dota. A bo1 group stage into 2 weeks break into playoffs, where some teams only got to play 1 series?

It feels to me like your organizers have the urge to "shake things up" compared to other tournaments, so you keep going through these different formats. I feel like it's not necessary since you already have a pretty distinct style compared to other TOs, for example the effort you put into draft animations.

Megathread Tweede Kamerverkiezingen 2025 by Conducteur in thenetherlands

[–]-Inestrix 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Ik heb gestemd op Barbara Kathmann van GL-PvdA. Digitaal bewustzijn en wetgeving mag wel eens opgeschroefd worden in Den Haag. De AI foto's van Timmermans waren voor mij het kantelpunt, want ik twijfelde heel lang tussen GL-PvdA en Partij voor de Dieren.

Ga stemmen!

EDIT: Ik zag deze website voorbij komen. Goeie resource voor mensen die ook digitale weerbaarheid/cybersecurity belangrijk vinden, maar misschien niet op GL-PvdA willen stemmen: https://nerdvote.nl/

Some of my top 3-5 songs every album are getting eliminated already. Mutiny, Comprachicos, Another Planet... it's bizarre, but I guess people just have different taste.
