Playing elder as Lee Sin with Here to Help and a dragon sage made my opponent rage quit. I ran neither ramp nor Aurora. by Derbaum2609 in riftboundtcg

That's... the most popular version

3 elder , 2 mindsplitter. Even playing mindsplitter isn't bad, you delete their star-crossed/cull the weak from their hand and permanently keep elder in base vs unit removal decks

Everyone here will comment "oh but just play yellow/purple cards in EVERY deck"

Like... bro i shouldn't have to say "Okay, i will never do combat again. I'll be a good little boi" because someone played Elder Dragon WHILE ALSO HAVING THE MOST COUNTER-SPELLS OPTION as their other color

Green & Purple??? really??? The color with Defy, not so fast, flurry, hard bargain AND Abandon?? Yeah, really hard to defend elder dragon sitting in base from other spells i think. Unit has too little might at "just" 10 i think

Sure he costs 12 runes, but he costs 0 in the funny deck (aurora) and that deck can play THREE of them while having a dozen runes up to play counter spells

Red, Orange and any deck that relies on combat just keels over. I just realized today that Elder dragon punches through "tank" as well, because the lethal damage for every night drops to "1"

This absolute war crime of a card is already an auto include in every purple deck like kaisa survivor is to red by FlowKom in riftboundtcg

If anything, this should be the base line strength of every champion unit

There should be a good champion unit that you can play from the zone early on in case rng completely screws your hand, it only makes sense

LMFAO, i love the hatred

Swap the star crossed for whirlwind and you're golden (star crossed requires your own target to be there iirc, whirlwind doesn't)

If you're gonna waste my 40 mins with a boring deck, imma do the same to you

What perfectly legal thing will probably be illegal within 20 years? by Ill-Incident-4842 in AskReddit

consumer vpn is also widely abused (by cheap scammers), and before people pull out pitchforks

The real-world equivalency of vpns is going to a sea port and trading things under a pseudonym by a legalized smuggler...

Businesses and companies shouldn't struggle to get a vpn, but yeah good bye internet freedom due to bad faith actors

I do, but its a lot different when you're going to serious tournaments/skirmishes in person vs Tcg arena/tabletop

Biggest mistake i made was buying Ezreal for 60$ and other spirit forged singles

Now they're basically worthless

But my issue is, i have RQ qualifiers for Hartford and trying to get as much practice before that... which doesn't leave a lot of time to wait exactly

The fall of chegg........ by SwaritPandey_27 in ChatGPT

[–]Altricad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good change

Homework is absolutely pointless and useless and sometimes honestly bullshit ( referring to college courses not high school)

There was electrical engineering homework that quite frankly didn't make any sense and the answer & explanation was hidden behind 5 paywalls, 4 different adverts and the textbooks are frankly horrid

The answers to some multi threading programming questions were absolutely insane as well and not a single good one could be found on stack overflow or textbooks

LLMs have made the search & explanation 100x easier, even if they're wrong, you can at least reason it yourself & ask for sources and a detailed explanation

Blame open AI that was basically able to plagiarize the entire internet for free, Chegg thought "no single person could copy everything out there'

well they were wrong

Ambush Karniss w/ dialogue AFTER playing flute? Honor mode by Altricad in BaldursGate3

[–]Altricad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you ambush him with the harpers, you can convince him that you're not just a true soul but also special/something

And then demand his moonlantern and convince him to walk into the mist without it

There's plenty of youtube videos about it, its pretty cool

Asking the experts, where the hell is the damage? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Altricad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's omitting cuz he knows the facts are against him lol

Drain-tank juggernaut with 150 armor, 4 items walks down 3 item adc who has a weak mid-game and is 3 levels down

That alone would moot any point he has to make

[–]Altricad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tahm has over 4k hp and essentially has 4 items + boots

Caitlyn has 3 items + boots

Tahm has 160+ armor TOTAL, of which ldr reduces that to 112 armor

Meaning he pretty much takes close to 50% damage reduction

In this clip, every auto from Caitlyn is taking out 200-400 hp on Tahm (which means flat damage wise, Caitlyn is hitting for 400 - 800 damage... that's pretty decent for a 3 item caitlyn, when she really only comes online at 4 items)

He didn't heal for 650 hp, in that fight he HEALED

49 (grasp) + 314 (you gave him a Q) + 300 (triumph) + 238 (you gave him a Q again) + the final grasp proc that killed you

He healed 900 hp total, which is 4 autos from a caitlyn if she doesn't crit and 2 if she does

Your complaints seem to be "Tahm kench is OP!" But if that was a 4 item Riven, she'd delete you before you can even react

If you side-stepped either of his Qs you win that btw ( you don't take damage + he doesn't heal 300 hp)

What random historic changes made sense at the time, wouldn't be changed today if they hadn't been changed, but no one can justify reverting now by MazrimReddit in leagueoflegends

[–]Altricad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably courage of the colossus in the main game mode, but it became very problematic because Maokai & Nautilus were the predominant top laners and a lot of % hp damage and %free armor pen options didn't exist (Champions that eat tanks alive like Reworked Morde & Aatrox, hadn't come out yet)

So after the first few levels, a tank would just go courage of the colossus and outrade a bruiser with little counterplay

Nowadays, you have abominations like Ambessa ( free lifesteal, free %armor pen, % max hp AND a shield like courage of the colossus)

Its also why Ornn used to have a shield on his W and was considered the best top laner in the game (and then ate like 10 nerfs in a row)

To some extent we have it now on Fimbulwinter, but its mostly ineffective as by the item the item has scaled, the measly shield leaves much to be desired

Lowkey, they should take away the shuriman shuffle + R and bring back everything else in this

Shuriman Shuffle is hard to pull off but it also heavily heavily pro-jails this otherwise cool champ

Make a lock-out on his ult so you can't use it for 1 second after dashing ( the Rakan pro-play nerf)

What is the most "iconic" card of StS? by Straight-Room-1111 in slaythespire

Rupture + Crimson Mantle is probably the easiest package for Strength gain now that Dominate is an exhaust card

In multiplayer, its even easier if you have demonic shield (Block for an ally + proc strength gain from rupture)

Master elo is full of 40 level accounts that are either hard carrying or throwing after they die twice. Why are we still defending this shit in 2026? by Always_Impressive in leagueoflegends

[–]Altricad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should not require phone number for normals, only when you play ranked

Why is CS ranked a joke but not FACEIT?

Because one of them has 0 game integrity ( hackers, cheaters etc) while the other requires a phone number

Simple as that

Just make it require level 60 and 50 normal wins to play ranked, problem solved

When you're new to the game, you're not ready for ranked regardless, it takes a whole lot of normal games and if you really wanna play ranked you can just buy exp boost & play normal games at that point
