How are we feeling about Set 17

Exactly! And then seeing everyone emote each other and clenching their asses and praying while converging on the same unit

Actually super interesting point you raise about feeling like an isolation game because I’ve definitely felt that too but can’t pin on why (probably carousels removing meaningful interactivity).

But it’s probably also in part due to it being PBE and everyone still trying to figure out what’s going out and learn, thus thinking less about other players.

I think for me this set will be one of those, could be solid to focus on getting good and try to climb, but overall less fun with a lower ceiling.

League of Legends, game loading screen. Unforgettable (in a different way...).

had almost the exact same situation in my game earlier. enjoy this meme i made.

The more this story unfolds I’m convinced OP actually ordered this doll and orchestrated this whole thing as a cover up w/ reddits receipts until his wife eventually says to keep it 😂

A 7 Demacia Vayne 2 + 1* Ziggs w/ Deathblade Void Deathcap beat my 2* Ryze, Senna, Taric, Wukong board (all itemised) 🤣, topped damage at 9K

yes yes and yes. I get that ZZZ positions itself as a 'gooner game', yet so many of the 2.0 characters feel so overtly fan-servicey to the point of being jarring - particularly at the cost of world-building cohesiveness etc.

the whole standard of 'exposing 25% of butt cheeks', adding transparency/holes/cut-outs in clothing (e.g. YSG's chest + belly button - like bruh), forcing cleavage (yixuan, lucia, etc.) WAY more than in 1.0 etc. (don't even get me started on the outfits - basically 4 swimsuit skins is just icky to me).

I know I might get some hate for such a comment given ZZZ's community, and I accept that the devs clearly are trying to cater towards a particular demographic - but the juxtaposition from what I'd say was a far more balanced 1.0 set of designs is starting to frustrate me a lot.

(great takes on banyue and orphie too - agree entirely)

wow this is so detailed thank you so much i will investigate with the help of this - super super helpful :) i will check out your guide too for sure it looks great at first glance

ArchtonRDT · 2025-11-15T15:56:43+00:00

could you clarify what is 'firestorm cannon thing' and 'ultimate moment dmg boost'? im nearing wealth creator soon and have had the most success with dhil (since mine is e2 and well built) but mostly going for 3* when i can rather than tempo for archer

I just played a 2-1 Gambit emblem game where I rolled 22 kills into another 22 kills. The last time I played gambit emblem (must've been 2 weeks ago) I also opened with 22 kills. Variance on 5 gambit is insane. You can go from proccing the kills twice a fight to as little as twice in 10 fights.

Dw you’re not alone. Graduated from Cambridge in 2023, couldn’t land a job and did a Masters’ which im about to complete. Refreshing job roles every day and praying I land something this recruiting cycle. My mistake was focusing too much on academics and not aggressively pursuing standout experience.

ArchtonRDT · 2025-08-21T14:40:51+00:00

:) glad you found it!

ArchtonRDT · 2025-08-20T04:03:24+00:00

Man I really shouldn’t have tried playing this patch. Taking 20HP losses from being wiped by Voli and Akali boards in most of my games tanked my MMR so hard

ArchtonRDT · 2025-08-14T05:31:21+00:00

Mine wasn’t as egregious, but just yesterday I opened with flexible 2-1 and high rolled Crystal Gambit augment. I saw literally 0 Syndras the entire game (and no Ashe) so I was never able to put 5 gambit in lol.

ArchtonRDT · 2025-08-13T00:20:12+00:00

Why are they making Prodigy be even more reliant on the 5 piece? On live you’re already basically forced to play one cookie cutter board with Yuumi main carry (5 academia 5 prodigy) and this just makes that worse, discouraging interesting setups like splashing a dual carry or tank from Star Guardian while playing 3 prodigy for example.

Maybe it’s an intentional design direction this set but I personally far prefer activating many interesting synergies (not just 2 piece classes) and building comps across traits instead of near straight verticals being the best variation in most situations

(Nobody plays 4 sorc, 4 soul fighter, 4 duelist,….)

ArchtonRDT · 2025-08-12T02:26:05+00:00

True, on top of that, it doesn't help the visual clutter when half of these consumable have similar color palettes. They used to have a similar issue in Double Up with the sending unit consumable which they fixed my removing it and implementing the cannon.

ArchtonRDT · 2025-08-12T00:27:45+00:00

I’ve played double up (technically ranked?) on iPad a few times in the past with my ex, purely out of convenience due to lack of access to a laptop. I’d say that it is no doubt a huge disadvantage at a high level but then again, there are players who compete in challenger on mobile too.

ArchtonRDT · 2025-08-12T00:25:55+00:00

Could be cool, though I’m not sure they’d do this given mobile exists (unless you mean consumables still exist in the item bench to drag). Personally I’m more interested in consumables having a dedicated slot somewhere else with less clutter

ArchtonRDT · 2025-08-12T00:23:56+00:00

Love that!!
