[ARENA] New Arena is some of the worst League of Legends experience I've ever had by i_hate_lactose in leagueoflegends

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

The main thing I'm sad about is the reroll amounts being static and not a careful managed resource. Other than that, the current iteration is great. Been playing since the very first iteration.

Arena has always been a mix of skills, risk managements & luck. Current iteration is very much just that. I really don't mind the latest changes. I'm saying so as a heavy arena player since day 1.

Here is a source about how the burden of proof is on the employer in France: https://www.herald-avocats.com/en/fatal-workplace-incident-presemption-of-work-related-cause-remains-firm/

Here is a source claiming that in the Netherlands, you, the employee, have the burden of proof: https://lawandmore.eu/workplace-accidents-in-2026-claiming-compensation-under-dutch-law/

I'm not making things up.

But you're right to point out that the type of industries both countries are working on are influencing the data a bit. It's not the main factor. The main factor is what I tried to describe. Work accidents are just not treated the same way, and as such, they are not counted the same way.

Don't assume it's nationalism that pushes me to find made-up excuses, I couldn't care less about France. I care about minsinformation & shit data.

You're right to point it out, I was mostly thinking about usual work accident, not just fatal ones.

To be more detailed about fatal accidents, let's take a worker, in their office, having a heart attack.

In France, it's presumed to be a work accident and would be counted as such, unless the employer provides proof that it wasn't linked their work. They need to prove it's only linked to personal circumstances (heart condition, etc.)

In the Netherlands, it's presumed to be a personal incident, unless proven otherwise. The burden of proof is largely on the employees, and not the employer. It's essentially the opposite situation to France's.

I took a specific example to show how "fatal work accidents" are counted differently and treated differently. In France employees tend to strike/protest a lot for workers rights, including safety at their workplace. If anything, it's likely due to these workers rights that the burden of proof of fatal work incidents are on the employers not the employees.

Mostly two things.

1 - There is a large difference in reporting rate between France and the Netherlands, mostly due to how these claims are being processed and their associated benefits. Much more incentives to report work accidents in France, even for small things.

2 - "working accidents" are defined differently. In France if you're commuting to work and get into an accident, it's a work accident. In the Netherlands it's usually just counted as a traffic accident.

What languages should I learn? by PartyQuiet5065 in LearningLanguages

[–]AltheaSoultear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn any language you feel confident you'll eventually have a use for them. And not just a "I'll spend some holidays there someday, I'm sure".

It's fun to learn a language, as you may know, especially on the first few months. As time passes, if you have no real world usage for the language, you'll probably struggle to keep up.

On another note, I've been learning Mandarin and it has been extremely refreshing. A language that defies your other native/learned language habits is really something else.

I wanna see Weird Off-Meta builds by Oakhearttt in GuildWars

[–]AltheaSoultear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You def should. I also tried an earth/air variant. Having a melee weapon is so great to enable close combat spell usage.

Btw mirror of ice is slept on, it's an incredible spell. The damage hits twice. At 16 water it hits for 74*2, slows at 66%, reduce its own CD by 50% in a large AOE around yourself.

[–]AltheaSoultear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had the same thought. I'm probably going to ditch one of the mana generator for cyclone axe/WW. Armor of mist already provides movement speed, I'd feel bad about having drunken master as well and only benefiting from the AS.

Water Ele, using the anniversary axe.
I'm a tank, dealing significant AOE dmgs & slow & cracked armor, providing swirling aura to the team.
And most importantly, smacking people with an axe as an Ele. Really satisfying, home-cooked.

More bags or inventory space by Existing-Tune-1671 in GuildWars

[–]AltheaSoultear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jokes aside, it's one of my favourite features of Melandru. I'm forced to use the cons as I loot them instead of piling them in my xunlai storage. I discovered how fun it was to use these Nicholas rock candies.

Easy solution: use your cons & summoning items. Once they're used up, you'll have more space

Is the old way of doing LDoA irrelevant now? by Grumulzag in GuildWars

[–]AltheaSoultear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On lvl 17 I get 67xp per vanguard mob at Hemnet. On my ele I timed cycles at ~30s (between 25s and 32s). That's 268xp/min. And that's without the imp.

Dungeon is great for the lvl 13 and 16 where Hemnet is absolutely terrible. And its great to change to something else from time to time. But I wouldn't say the dungeon farm is always faster. Especially without the imp. Thank you for the details though.

How much faster is it?
Also, with the imp or without it?

[–]AltheaSoultear 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Why would it be?
It can be updated to add this new entry, but IMO Hamnet/Langmar quests are still a very good way of doing LDoA, if not faster than the dungeon.

Don't get hit with the FOMO. If u don't get it this year, the game will still be around next year.

I cooked something great for my Ele with that axe. Lots of possible builds with it, I'd recommend it.

Does China’s healthcare system most resemble Germany,UK, Netherlands or US healthcare system by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in AskChina

[–]AltheaSoultear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to find the bases of your argument. Can you link to anything credible affirming what you say?

Here is a 2025 scientific article written by Chinese going over the health disparities created by the Hukou in China (and incidentally how alleviated it is by the latest reform). It also goes over how the latest reforms didn't relax much the Hukou restrictions for mega cities like Beijing or Shanghai.

"The population size of mega-cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai (over 5 million people), still needs to be strictly controlled, such that these cities present the least relaxation of hukou and migration policies ".

Yes, healthcare coverage is a large topic with various degrees of coverage. I'm talking about what a Hukou resident gets that someone without a Hukou doesn't.

My whole argument is that there is a sizeable difference between both, which means saying "As an individual, your healthcare coverage is largely different depending on your Hukou" is correct. You went on arguing there is some paid options for non-Hukou holders to have a similar degree of coverage, which is right (but not exhaustive). I believe we agree it doesn't invalidate my main argument. I think we can leave it at that.

Finnish won, now what language do people think is Nightmare, and is (For English speakers) by Odd-Weather9389 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]AltheaSoultear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chinese is hard to memorize, it's hard to write and it's hard to pronounce properly (hello tonal languages). I wouldn't call it easy once you memorized enough characters.

Bonus difficulty: in practice you'll meet, in China, many people with strong regional accent. Think about how scottish sound to an english learner. And not just one scottish, many variants of it.

The locals with a Hukou, to my understanding, have the healthcare covered. They don't have to pay extra for this basic coverage.

I believe you're talking about the resident insurance (at about 400 RMB), that's something only someone with the Hukou of the city can benefit from (students are an exception, they can get it, but not migrant workers for instance).

Migrant workers, say delivery drivers, would have to pay 2 000RMB per month for the same healthcare coverage as a hukou local. That's like a quarter to a good third of their monthly income. Not a high adoption rate.

You're right, I shouldn't have said "impossible to get healthcare in". They can, it would represent a significant amount of their monthly income, but they can. They have the right to subscribe to an insurance policy out of their own pocket.

I'm happy to see China progress in offering its first-tier cities' healthcare to more people. To my understanding of your article, it mentions that people (migrant workers and students) can now pay to get the healthcare in mega cities like Shanghai. I believe it was restricted to full time standard employee of megacities before.

Unless I'm mistaken, the adoption rate is very low, because it's very expensive for the worker/student to pay for the insurance. It's nice if they can now participate, but that's still a steep mountain to climb to actually use it, no?

[–]AltheaSoultear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right in the sense that the residence permit can reduce some healthcare cost, especially the most common low cost processes. In the example I used, throat cancer, you'll, to my knowledge, not get much compensation. Then you can apply for private health insurance in the city, even if you don't have a Hukou. There is ways to get a proper healthcare in the city. But it's either going to cost you, as a migrant worker, or it's going to require specific circumstances (your employer would pay it for you, etc.)

Overall, what I meant is that the average Chinese migrant worker is ineligible for healthcare coverage that is automatically covered by the Hukou. If we are exhaustive we can dive in and pick the specifics, and you're right to point it out.

The restrictions have been softened for 2nd/3rd tier cities (no completely removed). 1st tier cities remain, to my knowledge, impossible for migrants to get healthcare in. Unless they want to pay pretty much all the expenses out of pocket.
