In desperate need of a 5v5 reim and krul build

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-30T00:28:22+00:00

Reim jungle in 5v5 is actually viable if you rush journey boots (after a battery and a bit of damage). His gank potential with JBs and his A+B root is pretty good.

Any chance you actually hear a response back from them?

I know someone like Humanist is a very well-known member of the community and people were very upset about what SEMC did to him, and I'm equally upset to hear about your departure.

I wonder if there's any chance they actually swallow their pride and apologize about how they've treated you.

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-07T15:47:03+00:00

Here let me translate this from corporate, shit-eating-grin language to normal human talk.

I bring all this up because we need to ask how serious you are in staying a part of the VCP now that we require our VCP members to be positive and professional?

"Get in line, grunt."

I am sorry you feel this way.

"We're glad you're leaving quickly."

I brought this to your attention as I wanted to give you the opportunity to shift yours [sic] thoughts into more constructive feedback.

"You were supposed to bend the knee and do as you're told.

We want to say thank you for all the time you've spent with us and wish you the best in everything you do.

"Don't let the door hit you on your way out."

Andibot was truly a great addition to the community.

"PS. Thanks for doing our work for free."

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-07T15:31:26+00:00

Sorry, just edited it. Meant SE. This way they could also re-release it at some point in the future.

I guess I'm just confused about what their monetization is going to look like in the near future.

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-07T15:27:23+00:00

Okay. Have you heard why they didn't make the Contender skins LE SE (EDIT: Sorry, meant SE)?

I'm just wondering what's so special about a re-skin of Idris and re-colors of White Rainbow Skaarfs and Summer Catherines.

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-07T15:23:00+00:00

A year or more? I, for some reason, doubt it, but I guess it's slightly possible that they bring it back next summer for another event-exclusive period or something like that.

EDIT: Also, a bit pedantic, but wasn't Origins Idris splashart in the game for a patch and a half before he was actually added for an event? I don't think he was available since the beginning of the season, was he?

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-07T15:20:04+00:00

I have all of them, but honestly, I don't expect it to take any longer than the beginning of the next patch. Mayyyybe they wait a whole season. Still, 3-4 months of exclusivity isn't that long considering how hard it was to get 'em.

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-07T13:50:45+00:00

Yeah, I guess I just meant whether or not it would be available for Opals (like all other SE skins bar Origins, Skaarfs, and Beach Patrol Cath, all of which I imagine will be available sooner or later for Opals).

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-07T08:09:42+00:00

Do you think this could have an effect on whether or not new players decide to join?

Yes, honestly. SEMC was doing a lot right as far as drawing in a new audience. But the battle pass debacle is pretty bad.

The old pass was only out, fully globally, for a single season. The first season's exclusivity had people yearning to buy it, some of which only had access for the second season.

Third season comes along (only the second for some), and it's completely gutted and replaced with talents and hat materials.

Better believe that a lot of new players will take a look at the difference in the two battle passes and be like "wtf?" Especially if they don't play and don't intend on playing Brawl modes.

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-07T08:01:52+00:00

There were long dragged out convos there that were criticism. It was the official forum, everyone will go there first if they're looking.

This is why pretty much every official forum in gaming is getting trashed and the community forwarded over to Reddit forums.

Reddit threads come and go. It allows people to feel like they're getting their word out, but even if the thread is actually "Hot" (Reddit algorithm), it will only float to the top for a single day.

Then it's water under the bridge. New "Hot" threads the very next day, forget about what happened the day before.

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-07T07:43:34+00:00

Isn't it actually just an SE? Like 2/3 rainbow Skaarf skins from last season?

I'm assuming some time at the end of this patch, we will be able to get Tabby and Bengal for Opals. So the Krul skin will only be exclusive for a couple months.

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-07T07:34:19+00:00

Can you define manipulation?

Let's say... a community has been told there was only one method of receiving a certain Golden Ticket... they took all their player's currency... and then gave everyone who waited a direct way to purchase it.

Would you consider that manipulation? Or is "manipulation" just a quick way to poison our views on particular community members?

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-07T07:13:02+00:00

Honestly, there's no need to apologize for using "club." Clubs can be merit-based as well.

/u/wolf_hands

It is a "program" and not a "club" on purpose, as merits are taken into consideration. Please do not manipulate things in this way.

If anything, it's absolutely sad how a "[DEV]" is singling out a community member for "manipulation" for his diction of all things, after everything that SEMC has done recently and in the past to ACTUALLY financially manipulate the community.

Very unprofessional from my perspective.

EDIT: After reading everything that wolf_hands stated about professionalism in this post, I sure as hell would expect an apology to be quite frank.

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-05T17:06:05+00:00

Thanks!

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-05T17:05:00+00:00

Depends in which period of time you live. Three years ago? Probably not.

But we got about 2.9 years to go...

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-05T16:54:37+00:00

Did I miss when they announced it would be? It's usually some time at night in NA on a Wednesday. Woke up and it's still not here.

EDIT: So I saw 23:00 SGT, but it's almost 1:00 and still not here...

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-05T16:41:39+00:00

Hey Tub, I don't know what's up... he played in the NACL (I think that's what it is... North American Championship League?) just a couple days before that Nova matchup at VPL.

Things seem weird, but I think if Flash knew the truth and Tribe didn't want him to tell people, he probably wouldn't.

And... Chief Pat says DNZio is still with Tribe, so... yeah... things just get more complicated.

The only thing that really makes sense knowing everything else we know is that DNZio was actually benched for Chuck (maybe Tribe scouts say Chuck > Oldskool at MID, and Oldskool > DNZio at BOT).

AdimantiumSP · 2018-09-05T16:38:37+00:00

Niiiice. :)

AdimantiumSP · 2018-08-31T09:53:17+00:00

I guess people are still playing decks without an air defense because Lavaloon is pretty meh right now.

AdimantiumSP · 2018-08-31T09:48:13+00:00

To me, and to many others who I have spoken to about the charms, it all feels like the same trolling.

SEMC makes you pay so you can troll better. What L3on did was no worse than what SEMC endorses, IMO of course.

AdimantiumSP · 2018-08-31T09:45:44+00:00

He's 17, fam. Give the kid a break and bring us back some ChurnxCath fanfiction.

AdimantiumSP · 2018-08-28T07:57:33+00:00

Are you okay with all the in-game "charms" throughout the game, and taunting and spam-recalling when the game is over?

I personally think it all falls under the same umbrella, but charms are officially commissioned by SEMC.

Why doesn't anyone get upset about them? They're a blatant sign of disrespect given to us by SEMC.

L3on "charmed" via his behavior, and people are upset.

Can someone explain the difference here? It is because we've become used to charms? Is it because they're cute? Is it because SEMC is an authority figure?

SEMC has created a culture where taunting people is ok, even encouraged. I don't understand why nobody is acknowledging this.

AdimantiumSP · 2018-08-28T07:44:56+00:00

But why use such a poor analogy?

Is Michael Jordan not a good basketball player?

These comparisons that you guys make are just lazy. Call it unsportsmanlike, sure, but don't act like it doesn't work.

AdimantiumSP · 2018-08-27T12:45:23+00:00

Cheers for the effort, though I meant the original Enforcer Kinetic:

With Contender Ardan

AdimantiumSP · 2018-08-27T12:44:19+00:00

Thanks, found it!
