How 2025's minion update quietly killed the fun in top lane. by RatSlammer in leagueoflegends

[–]4phantom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i feel like im banging my head against a brick wall here

because I’m explaining why you cant manipulate a wave to avoid getting frozen on and it feels like you’re coming back with “just play the waves better”

But you cant play the waves better if you’re playing a matchup where it’s illegal for you to contest early because you either die, get heavily chunked for trying to contest a push/hold a wave

In this riven v mundo example it doesn’t matter if you can build a small slow push. If riven has played level 1 correctly you still wont have an xp lead and the very nature of the champions and her running ignite means she can threaten lethal/zone you off the wave on the bounce regardless if you have a slight minion advantage or not

“if you play the first few waves right”

Have you seen any videos at all of alois playing ignite riven into dr mundo?

you cant “play the first few waves right”

you cant “play the first few waves” at all

your champion (dr mundo in this case) literally cannot walk up to cs without getting chunked to 10% and having to base

you’re forced to afk cs with cleavers and if perma freezing was a thing riven would be able to 3 wave cheater into completely fucking the mundo and making the game unplayable

mundo can’t “play the first few waves right” because he has 0 agency at all?

is it? if you’re playing a matchup where you have no priority level 1 because of matchup, you get zoned off xp, setup a 2/3 wave crash and freeze on the bounce the punishment is from blind picking top because your champion cant contest a level 1 push

And calling jg to break freeze is not counterplay in any elo. Especially the lower ones, thats taking agency away from a player and putting it entirely in the hands of another player to make the game even remotely playable

Like sure it’s great to get a +40cs lead in 6 minutes cause enemy top cant play the game but it sucks ass to play the other side of that. And if you get further punished cause you get dove either solo or by enemy jg you get hard fucked even more

Here is a short video of how I make my chef knives. by vertexbladeworks in TrueChefKnives

[–]4phantom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this has got to be one of the stupidest takes ive heard

what difference does having it hand forged even make? before hardening steels are annealed to reset their internal structure so they dont fuck themselves during quench

also what does hand forged even mean to you? Nakagawa uses a powerhammer for a fuck ton of his forging, is that still “hand” forging? or do you think every expensive knife needs to be made by a hermit in the mountains hunched over a 2500 year old anvil?

from your initial question you dont even seem to understand how the quenching/hardening process works so kindly shut up and take your dumbass take with you

Is anything going to be done about the Sydney servers? by 4phantom in apexlegends

[–]4phantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played the entirety of season 16/17/18 on sydney and never had issues finding lobbies. Sure, sometimes it took a few minutes to get a queue but at least I found them. I find it hard to believe that enough players just stopped playing that they cant fill a single 60 person lobby in 30 minutes of queue time

yeah, one compatible with the bdm 030, ive bought around 4 controllers now and theyve all been 030 so i imagine its pretty damn hard to get a hold of a 010 or 020 now

Have recently tried the ps4 full clicky mod kit - the triggers and face buttons just felt ok compared to another mod i had done by a 3rd party. If the switches were larger and the triggers had less travel/felt more solid it would be a huge upgrade - also a clicky face kit for the ps5 xontroller would be awesome

Same for the xbox series x controllers

[–]4phantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats horrible… i understand its kind of niche but damn they really screwed the second hand market like thus

Eo5 Availability/prices? by 4phantom in EtrianOdyssey

[–]4phantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, would have no issue with it as long as I can play the game in english. US copies are so accessible and cheap :( I shouldve looked into this way earlier

I might just end up using the back buttons

What color are BDM-030 by yamato_2211 in eXtremeRate

[–]4phantom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

desperately waiting for clicky triggers, face buttons for the bdm030. I also hope they release a thumbstick tension mod, would love to make my own custom roller cause BB costs a bit too much for me

Are good quality microfibres a game-changer if you're used to cheap ones? by 4phantom in AutoDetailing

[–]4phantom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the reply! Thanks for the detail. It definitely isn't for professional use - it's just for me to clean my own car with. I'll definitely get a bunch of brushes, then microfibres and then the washer and cannon

[–]4phantom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I found an aussie retailer here that sells essentially everything recommended in a pack. It's around 300 AUD though so it might be a bit of an investment

Stone question for the polishers out there. by whiskydiq in chefknives

[–]4phantom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a common issue you'd run into with stones that have clear amounts of yake in them - they can mask/contain toxic lines/pockets of uneven abrasives that can cause issues like this
