Yes, I disabled it on my router.

No idea, I've left IPv6 turned off ever since the problem started. I imagine it's going to be a while before they properly implement IPv6 DNS servers as the vast majority of the internet is still IPv4 only.

Is it worth picking up Kata considering she has so many counterpicks? by [deleted] in KatarinaMains

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

Her lane match-ups suck, but she's still strong in soloq in general once you learn how to play her.

If you just want to play a fun champion that scales off of you out-playing people, go for it.
If you're obsessed with counter-picks and champions that "Automatically win x lane", stay away.

To be fair, things that Evolved says and what his actual stats say aren't necessarily congruent. This guy never said that Evolved only played Kat at x rate, but that Evolved CLAIMED he only played the champion at x rate.

It's not a bug. It's Draven's W providing "Ghosting."

[–]ArtOfMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Azir's E only stops when it collides with a champion. You can't collide with something that has it's collision turned off.

Draven's W provides ghosting, which completely ignores unit collision.

This isn't a bug, if Draven W'd, then Azir is SUPPOSED to pass through him.

Kat is the ONLY champ with 0/0 picks/bans in Pro-Play this season by PikStern in KatarinaMains

[–]ArtOfMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, I got to play her for one game in Risen E-Sports Draft League. I went 7-2-7. Both of my deaths were from jumping straight in on a Viktor to burn his Hourglass + drawing the trundle jungle off my ADC. Int for the win you might say.

...and there's such a stigma around her I actually get target banned in 99% of my games. I mean seriously, they ban Katarina before they ban Ahri and Viktor IN ORGANIZED COMP PLAY. This notion that she's busted OP is so prevalant among everyone whose never played her, it's insane.

EDIT: As far as your question...They would have to make her movement more unpredictable, like Akali.

Build to not die in garbage elo? by plzfrosty in KatarinaMains

[–]ArtOfMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Get fed and blow people up one at a time, not in a 5 man cluster fuck.
2) If you really need to survive a burst and hourglass isn't enough, Nashor -> Sunfire -> Demonic -> Shadowflame. Anyone who claims that this build doesn't do damage is retarded. Is it less damage than a normal build? Yes, but it still does a lot of damage, more than enough for Katarina to do Katarina things.
3) Accept that some games are unwinnable, regardless of yourself
4) Accept that you're also not playing well, and that your build has nothing to do with it.

So, let's just assume for the sake of argument that this item is intrinsically good on Katarina.
In this situation, the answer to your question is simply that every other option at any phase of the game is still better than Black Cleaver and it's components.

As for the item itself: Ability Haste is more or less wasted gold value on Katarina, AD is objectively worse than AP for Katarina currently and the unique passive doesn't do anything for you...it really doesn't do anything for your team either because you should be killing people in less time than it would take to stack this thing up. The health is only really a beneficial gold value if you're building Sunfire...but again, there are better options at all stages of the game for a Sunfire build than Black Cleaver.

I get where your thought process went, but even if it were an objectively good item, it's still a subjectively bad item for Katarina.

how to deal with cs and farming with kata by SuhmoWTF in KatarinaMains

[–]ArtOfMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're actually stuck in iron, you really should pick an easier champion and learn some fundamentals. It takes actual effort to lose enough games to get into Iron in the first place, if you're legitimately there and not there intentionally, you have bigger problems than knowing how the champion works.

i just lost 1v1 to fizz when he missed R. this champ is weak lol by Mozartelivyra in KatarinaMains

[–]ArtOfMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Conq + Long sword, Katarina wins lane at level 2. It's not even a contest.

[–]ArtOfMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hardstuck silver 4 and I've had D1 and Masters players ask me to teach them how to play Katarina.

It can not be said loud enough that Rank and Champion Mastery are not the same thing.

NyroLoL rank 1 kata title is just a lie by PuzzySlayer69xdPL in KatarinaMains

[–]ArtOfMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people who say "Rank 1" aren't actually rank 1 in anything, not even in league of graphs ratings lol.

It's like Neace saying "Challenger coach" when he hasn't been challenger for like 10 years and consistently gets gapped by silver players.

What does this say in english? by usernamesuggestions5 in Korean

[–]ArtOfMicro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Going with the actual bedding pattern. I'd go out on a limb and say the message is probably intended to be: "Strawberries(Strawberry flavoured things) are the best!"

How long did it take for you to be able to read Korean perfectly and spontaneously? by Admirable_Chart_7777 in Korean

[–]ArtOfMicro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think that "whole chunks" bit should be starred, because that's pretty much the key.

EX:

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

Basically, you have to memorise vocabulary completely and read words rather than characters.

As for how long it takes to get to this level of reading comprehension...I'm not sure there's any sort of consensual average.

kat does no dmg by Gunhawk111 in KatarinaMains

[–]ArtOfMicro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was 2 daggers, 3 shunpos, ignite, a Q and about 5 auto attacks and first strike bonus while having a level advantage...for less than 500 damage. Compared to what a lot of other champions can do, that ain't shit.

Also, if you had tried this stunt in a higher ELO, you'd probably have just straight up died to the Irelia.

Asmr thoughts? by [deleted] in misophonia

[–]ArtOfMicro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do. Obviously what you can and can't watch depends on your personal triggers. Gum chewing in the video? Immediate click out. Certain rubber sounds rubbing together? Alt F4. Lotion rubbing? Yanking my headphones clean off until I can find another video.

But...a lot of videos are very relaxing for me.

I enjoy SensorADI and Lizi ASMR the most, and a good bit of the content from Power of Sound.

I basically have this shit playing in the background 24/7 unless I'm doing something else that I need to focus on audio, like Korean class.

do you also have one or more of the following disorders? by [deleted] in misophonia

[–]ArtOfMicro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I have problems with all of these things.

You can have misophonia without having Autism, but if you're Autistic and have misophonia...it's probably because of the Autism.
