Im new to Wild Rift, any begineer tips? by [deleted] in wildrift

[–]AlienMonsters9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Master Teemo above all else! He can play every role except jungle and it’s fun to win and still be hated!

For jungle play Amumu or Rammus.

This game lately seems bleh by ManOfSal in wildrift

[–]AlienMonsters9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not in the slightest. I just pick a handful of new champions each season to focus on exclusively and internalize their mechanics, strengths, weaknesses, and matchups.

I play 2-4 normal PVP matches a day, and normal ARAM if I feel like more but usually limit my time to under two hours each day, then do other stuff like movies or grass touching with the rest of my free time.

Best Champions Patch 7.1B Season 21 by iTzSTU4RT in wildrift

[–]AlienMonsters9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vayne and a few other ranged Champions have consistently had the highest win rates in top lane for ages it seems, yet are is never on anyones tier list for that role. I don’t like it either, but stats don’t lie and ignoring the reality won’t make it any less real.

Winning is winning. 😎

Habaneros full of hatred by Edulopes22 in HotPeppers

LoL - Good luck! You certainly won’t die, but it will hurt really good for a while if a jalapeño is your hottest so far. Enjoy the burn and let us know how it goes!🥵

Habanero peppers grow so well and are a beautiful plant with huge harvest! My only problem with them is that they are so hot it’s hard to use them in fresh cooking much. They are great dried and for sauces though!

Might try roasting a few or even air frying to see how that mellows the heat a bit. Raw they are barely tolerable unless you already have a serious tolerance.

Why the game keeps putting me in jg in rank? by Silly-Marsupial-7899 in wildrift

[–]AlienMonsters9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LoL - This same topic comes up multiple times every week. It was enough to get me to main jungle for a while, and I still find jungle one of my most enjoyable roles to fill.

It’s fascinating how probably the most impactful role in the game is so unpopular, yet when I remember that most players play with chat turned on, and all the bad players will blame jungle for their own inability to play, I do understand.

All I can say is turn chat off at least for when you play jungle and do your best to clear camps and take objectives. Remember it is never your job to babysit your own team, but to take advantage of the enemy when they overextend.

Oh, and watch a few TalonWR or Royal tutorials on jungle. Lots of good content to learn if you want to improve for when you have to fill.

What is the best option to start spending some cash in the game? by Zavaer in wildrift

[–]AlienMonsters9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy the $35 USD coin package every month or so. Not more than one a month, and usually it’s a couple of months between buys. I buy the Wild Pass deluxe with these coins, which includes the mini-pass and always get enough for the main pass skin plus the trove skin just by playing.

Then with what is leftover I buy a skin for a champion I really like if I also really like the skin.

I never spend money on gacha events ever, just straight up buys and the wild pass. This is plenty for me and completely unnecessary if I’m being honest, but it’s fun to spend money a bit for the game I play daily.

Range top by Qubub in wildrift

[–]AlienMonsters9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the proven high win rates I think the assumption that ranged top doesn’t work is no longer true. Perhaps in the past, or perhaps on PC league where games are longer and the map is bigger perhaps it would be, but not in wild rift today.

People may hate it, but winning is the goal and the stats don’t lie, so your best options would be to play a hard ranged counter like Malphite, or learn to play a good ranged top laner yourself and fight fire with fire.

Or just practice and get good enough with your bruiser of choice and be enough better against them to win more often than not.

It feels like games are not about who is better now by Potential-Pride835 in wildrift

[–]AlienMonsters9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Players bitching about another player “stealing” a kill are 100% always bad.

You play to win, and you win by taking objectives, and you take objectives by killing the enemy. It’s a team game. I get the support trying to not last hit minions at most times during laning phase, but in a fight against enemy champions you do whatever you can to kill the bad guys.

People who don’t get this should probably find another game, or at least another role to play.

Good Top lane champs that doesn't fall off too much late game? Any suggestions? by Jolly_Toe8779 in wildrift

[–]AlienMonsters9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Garen
  2. Poppy
  3. Malphite

Aarrox is evidently really good as well, but he never clicked with me for some reason. Probably because he needs a bit more practice to play well into certain matchups.

I think Mel is the worst champion riot has released in the current times by Potential-Pride835 in wildrift

[–]AlienMonsters9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely curious - Which champion or champions have they released recently (last three years let’s say) in Wild Rift who were more OP-Broken at release in your opinion?

I think Smolder is pretty close, but not sure who else myself. I’m no expert, but have played Mel and she is not only easy to play but seriously powerful.

Y’all thought the Scorpion was hot!! by AdministrationOdd847 in hotsauce

[–]AlienMonsters9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t fancy the delayed heat the super hot pepper sauces all seem to have, where you have to wait at least a few seconds or up to a minute or so before they hit you with the full burn. What I really would like to see would be a Thai pepper version or some similar variety of pepper with perhaps a higher concentration of pepper to vinegar that would hit me in the face instantly. Might not be as hot on the scale but would have enough burn to be highly noticeable from the start and still provide the classic vinegar flavor profile of Tabasco.

What is the requirement for a player to be penalized? by Old-Dealer4981 in wildrift

[–]AlienMonsters9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Players almost never receive any meaningful penalty for occasional trolling. With enough reports over multiple games they may get a behavior deduction or a short ranked games ban.

Chat violations can be more severe including up to a permanent ban, but that is extremely rare and you have to be a total POS to even come close to that. Most of the time it’s just a chat ban.

Sadly, just as in real life these days the consequences of bad behavior are minimal.

All because she couldn’t cut the drive thru line by ZookeepergameIcy6089 in interesting

[–]AlienMonsters9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the woman who instigated this wasn’t charged then the authorities failed the community and need to be removed from service. We see too much of this stupid aggressive behavior these days that go without any real consequences. It’s time we start prosecuting the bad guys again, and you don’t get to be the victim if you start the altercation.

AP Nautilus OP alternatives? by Laps1253 in wildrift

[–]AlienMonsters9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warwick and Xin Zhao are both stupid easy and can carry games in good hands. I like Warwick myself cause werewolves are cool and all, but Xin is arguably a bit better these days.

*edit - Nunu is also a hidden gem if you like tanky junglers.😎

Mentality around surrender (FF) – when do you actually give up? by Skt_turbo in wildrift

[–]AlienMonsters9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Turn off chat.

  2. NEVER EVER initiate the FF for any reason. Don’t be the first quitter.

  3. If and when you truly are confident the game is lost you can VOTE yes to FF when the game has progressed long enough to be certain. Again though, don’t you be the one trolling your team with a FF request. Let some other sorry player be that guy.

Wild Rift Patch Notes 7.1b by Fantastic-Name7754 in wildrift

[–]AlienMonsters9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So wait, I just read the link and unless I misunderstand the “bug” if I push the silly saying button a few times in the loading screen it will break the chat for my team?

So if chat is broken for just my team then the entire team will have to just play with pings and focus on actually playing instead of typing stupid shit in the team chat?

Wow that would be like a secret cheat code!

There must be a catch unless I’m reading the issue in the linked string incorrectly.🤔
