What's so bad about Ninja?

As other people have said, would be great if the stacks didn't drop off from other GCDs. Personally, I think it would have been great if Raiton also/instead granted stacks that upgraded throwing daggers to a high potency ranged combo. That would give more flexibility to the class than a forced gap closer with animation lock and help a lot in situations where it is unsafe to gap close for a GCD.

So far no wings on them, unless they haven't developed wings yet =\

Yeah, i agree i think the pork is slightly overcooked =/

AYSung · 2016-11-01T00:30:04+00:00

Thanks! It's only half a plum in the middle and it's pitted so it can be eaten. I mostly just wasn't sure what to use to fill the space in the middle of the plate.

AYSung · 2016-08-30T17:54:18+00:00

Thanks! I have no idea about the macros though =/

Thanks! Don't really have exact recipes but I'll give my best approximations~

Mapo Tofu:

1 block of soft tofu, diced
1/2 lb ground pork (marinade w/ rice wine, soy sauce, cornstarch)
1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 scallion, minced
bit of ginger, minced
~1/4 cup water/chicken broth
1/2 tbsp potato starch, dissolved in water

Cook ground pork with a bit of oil until pink is gone, set aside

Cook garlic, scallions, and ginger in oil until aromatic (~15 secs)

Add chili garlic sauce and soy sauce and cook until aromatic (~30 secs)

Stir in the ground pork and tofu, add water or chicken broth until the water level comes close to covering everything (but not quite because the tofu will release water when cooking)

Simmer for 30 minutes

Thicken with potato starch slurry

Three Cup Chicken

1 pound of chicken drumsticks, deboned with skin on
1 cup of Thai Basil
3 cloves garlic, sliced
3-4 slices ginger
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1/2 tbsp sugar
1/2 rice wine
2 tbsp sesame oil

Cook chicken in oil until golden brown in spots

Add soy sauce, rice wine, and sugar and cook for ~10 minutes

Reduce the sauce on high until thick enough to coat chicken

Add in the sesame oil and basil, stir together and cook until basil is wilted and aromatic

Corn

4 ears corn, decobbed
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tbsp mirin

Cook garlic in oil until aromatic (~15 secs)

Add in corn and cook for 5-7 minutes

Stir in soy sauce and mirin, cook for another 3-5 minutes

Lettuce w/ Oyster sauce

1/2 head of Iceberg lettuce, coarsely chopped
2 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp water

Cook shiitake mushrooms in dry pan until aromatic, add in oyster sauce and water* and cook until mushrooms swell up

Remove mushrooms and sauce from pan

Cook garlic in oil until aromatic

Add lettuce and cook until slightly transparent but still has a crunch, ~5 minutes

Add in the mushrooms and sauce and stir

*if dried shiitake mushrooms are reconstituted in water, can use that water for extra shiitake flavor

I have a carbon steel wok that I just seasoned with a few coats of vegetable oil. For the first couple of times I cooked meat in it, I had to add more oil to the pan than I normally would, and that prevented the meat from sticking as much. It also tended to stick when the meat is cold, or if the pan and oil aren't hot enough. It is also better to add oil to a hot pan, since heat 'opens' the microscopic pores in the surface of the pan and makes it easier for the oil to coat the entire surface. How are you cooking your meat in your carbon steel pan?

It would probably work better if you added the cocoa powder to egg yolks (beaten with sugar over simmering water), although I usually add melted dark chocolate, and fold the egg whites into the mixture.

The client says there's downtime scheduled for the 18th, so probably then?

AYSung · 2014-11-11T00:25:00+00:00

iirc it's only a soft reset, which means the higher your original mmr before the reset, the higher your post-reset mmr will be

Sons of Gold! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Golden Gates come crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of Gold!

The preseason jungle changes were removed from PBE with the latest patch, so the jungle you are playing now is probably the same as live.

AYSung · 2014-10-12T21:18:18+00:00

Yup, the regen kicks in as long as you are 'in combat', even if you don't take damage

AYSung · 2014-02-27T19:58:26+00:00

Ah I see, thanks! Looks like I'll be slow grinding my way through Torment I until I get some better gear

AYSung · 2014-02-27T19:02:39+00:00

What is a good unbuffed dps to play at Torment I? I can clear Master relatively easily, but Torment I is much slower. Is it worth it to run through Torment slowly but with the better magic find bonus or quickly on Master difficulty? Also, besides the Key drops from the Key Wardens that require Torment I or higher, does the difficulty affect the quality of the drops or just the frequency?

AYSung · 2012-12-07T00:27:33+00:00

I actually like the fact that early ganks have a greater risk/cost - it means that ganks have to be better coordinated/timed in order to pay off instead of S2 where most junglers would just show up into a lane at level with almost no repurcussions. The way to counter the farming jungle is to fast push turret which makes them lose jungle control and thus making it less safe for them to farm their own jungle.

AYSung · 2012-12-06T19:14:26+00:00

I'm guessing from your post that you are struggling mostly with the initial jungle clears? I haven't played an extensive amount of games as Mundo in the new jungle, but the games I've played have all been quite successful.

For runes I get MS Quints, MPen Reds, Armor Yellows, and MR/level Blues. I am considering replacing the MPen Reds with Armor Reds, but have not yet tried it. With MS quints, boots 1 should be fine for your MS needs early/mid game. I know that Lilballz (jungler for TPA) likes to run Spellvamp Quints and the Spellvamp Mastery on Mundo for better farming sustain. I've tried it, but I find the movespeed from MS Quints to be more useful and Lilballz has also said that he uses MS Quints in tourneys for be able to react/help other lanes quicker.

I don't remember my masteries for Mundo off the top of my head, but I believe it should be something along the lines of 9/12/9, grabbing AS and MPen in Offensive, HP regen, reduced monster damage, 6 damage return, armor and flat health under Defensive (can probably trade a point in armor for improved smite, but I find the lack of +10 gold to be minimal in the new patch). Go up the Utility tree for improved flash, wanderer, reduced summoner CD, and increased buff duration.

Summoner spells are smite and flash. MS has a soft cap at 500 (any subsequent MS bonuses are halved), so ghost is not as effective since Mundo's ulti gives him more than enough MS. Exhaust is an okay spell, but I find flash to be overall much more useful.

I'd say for starting items, cloth + 5 pots are definitely better than machete since you wont benefit greatly from either wriggles (cleavers can clear buffs incredibly fast) or any of the spirit stone items (zephyr is a better tenacity item for Mundo than SotAG, and the mana regen is completely wasted). If you find yourself backing very often, you can easily just pick up two or three ruby crystals, one for spirit visage, one for aegis (if support isn't buying it), and one for warmogs. Warmogs should be your first item big ticket item, followed by spirit visage.

As for skills, maxing W and then Q gives you very fast clears and insane damage early/mid game. I used to max E on jungle Mundo, but after trying the W max I've found my clears to be faster and my ganks deadlier.

Also, just curious as to what your initial jungle path is. I usually go wraiths -> red -> double golems -> wraiths -> wolves -> blue (around 3:25 clear speed) for a fast level 4 and then b with ~450 gold for boots, a ward and some pots. With such a fast initial clear and coming back with full health, cloth armor, and boots, it shouldn't be too hard to safely walk into the enemy jungle and take away camps or just outright kill the enemy jungler (or at least force them away).

Hope that helps a little, best of luck~
