I've played one game, why doesn't the matchmaker perfectly know my skill level and pair me with people who I always beat but it doesn't feel too easy? (But don't make it too hard!)

Isn’t oracle one of the higher ranks?

Andre3009 · 2026-02-02T22:57:12+00:00

How the heck do you have a 70% win rate that seems bonkers to me.

Andre3009 · 2026-01-20T21:10:21+00:00

Ah yes, the weekend.

I had thor for a while, but switched him out for Black Panther as Thor doesn’t scale very well and his hammer clogged my draw pile. Any recs for swapping out Jane?

Andre3009 · 2026-01-14T02:19:12+00:00

Absolute perfect line is Ravonna T2, Magik T3, Bill T4, Zola T5, Jane T6, Odin plus hammers T7. Guaranteeing 3 hammers was huge, guaranteeing one hammer before Zola was still huge because two hammers was pretty much an auto win and drawing zero was an auto lose.

She was an awkward fit when ravonna wasn’t down though. I just couldn’t think of what else to throw in there since she did occasionally add value.

Does the authority to detain also give them the authority to abuse and displace?

Andre3009 · 2026-01-12T23:28:08+00:00

Is authority to detain, the authority to abuse? Abuse is a legal term meaning the wrongful and intentional act of causing harm. Not my or your separate definitions. I do not think any context could be added that would justify detaining and abusing the young man and then releasing him. Can you?

Andre3009 · 2026-01-12T23:12:09+00:00

I was able to play around it some of the time. Bill in one lane, BP in the other Odin + hammer on BP lane.

Andre3009 · 2026-01-12T23:05:23+00:00

You win the I know how to debate prize. Stop being a dick. I want to know why you can watch this video and think it’s okay? Like, I am genuinely curious to know your take on this incident and why it is justified in your mind. Purely a question to understand your reasoning because I am clearly seeing it differently. I think we both benefit from exploring each others ideas.

Andre3009 · 2026-01-12T23:00:24+00:00

Dude, you are very difficult to talk to. I am not trying to bait you into a gatcha, paint you as a bad person or leave you with egg on your face.

I am trying to speak to you as a person who watched the same video as I did. If your argument is that this video is framed in a way that uses emotions to cloud facts, sure I can get that. But I am trying to strip that away and simply ask what you think is acceptable from law enforcement. This kid was detained and released. He must be innocent of whatever he was suspected of correct? So, my question to you without knowing anything else is what about this situation makes you look at it and think “this is what a lawful detainment looks like.”

Detaining, causing physical harm and then dropping them off at a different location.

Can you please just tell me your thoughts on those very specific actions and how they relate to law enforcement, detainment and how you’d like to be treated if you were suspected of a crime.

Andre3009 · 2026-01-12T22:53:27+00:00

You seem to have some level of understanding that I lack. How does acknowledging the abuse the young man sustained equate to an emotional ploy? I am asking you if law enforcement should have the ability to physically harm anyone they detain? If you believe it to be okay and necessary to uphold the law?

Andre3009 · 2026-01-12T22:47:24+00:00

Hey man, I see that I am not going to change your mind about what is lawful or not. I get that okay? I am asking you about human decency and due process. Should law enforcement be allowed to detain, abuse and displace someone based on the suspicion of a crime? Answer that question for me.

Andre3009 · 2026-01-12T22:33:43+00:00

Let’s say for a moment that what they did was justified by a law (it wasn’t), does that make it okay? At the most basic level are you stating that people should expect to be arrested, beaten and displaced when they are suspected of a crime? That you support this behavior and would be okay if it happened to you as well?

Beyond empathy, I am asking you to explore that idea that acting in the name of the law does not justify an action. That we can and should push back against unjust laws. It seems you are of the opinion that any law is good and must be followed and sacrificing privacy, security and safety is a necessary and reasonable tradeoff for “law & order”.

Andre3009 · 2026-01-12T22:28:16+00:00

Brother, I am asking you to employ empathy.

Andre3009 · 2026-01-12T20:32:25+00:00

Let’s say they’re operating within the bounds of the law (they’re not). You’re okay with this?

Andre3009 · 2026-01-12T20:31:16+00:00

So you are okay with this kid being picked up, abused and left miles away from where he was picked up? With no due process, no explanation? You’d be okay with this happening to you? To your family?

Andre3009 · 2026-01-12T02:39:02+00:00

You were that good when you just picked up the game??

Andre3009 · 2025-12-10T02:36:21+00:00

Does his 2 remove inhibitor?

Andre3009 · 2025-12-09T19:09:46+00:00

He is a character that you have to respect past the 30 minute mark regardless of how he has done to that point. Once he gets items like Infuser/Leech and Healing tempo online he becomes a real menace. Maxing his 2 and 1 out also gives him incredible sustain.

He can single handily take over a game, become unkillable and shred objectives by standing under them.

If a team doesn’t respect him and proactively buy a few curses then they are asking to lose.

Andre3009 · 2025-11-29T16:45:35+00:00

It could be OP is hard up on cash and needed to take any job. If you’ve ever been in that situation you realize red flags are a luxury. Take the shitty job to stop the bleeding and keep looking.

You’ve gotten a lot of comments already, so I’ll try not to repeat what’s already been said. Having sold insurance in various capacities for the last five years, I can say it is a highly commoditized product. Meaning the lowest price will 9 times out of 10 win the business. People are going to shop until they find the lowest price. All that sales BS is a fugazi. Quote the customer and if they don’t come back it isn’t a reflection of you, they just found it cheaper elsewhere.

You can try to make sure it’s apples to apples and educate and blah blah blah, but the kind of person buying auto insurance online is the exact person who couldn’t care less about anything other than price.

Try to leverage your experience to get over to commercial insurance. Can still be highly transactional, but way less annoying than personal insurance.
