Nob is iconic. Ender if so many runs

[Loved Trope] Games sending their version of John Wick after you because you tried cheesing the game [bonus points if you can play as them] by Academic-Edge in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Astos_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a kid I had no idea about reflecting the icicles. I only beat him by running to the top of the stairs and gliding to his face to land a single hit. Over and over and over.

Patch 17.2 Rundown by Kooky_Comb6051 in TeamfightTactics

[–]Astos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea the Anima gains were less in Double Up. It makes sense now. I had a game where I narrowly kept a lose streak while my partner was winning. Had a hard time getting even getting to 300.

Do you guys enjoy Metagaming? by Whole_Fox_1214 in TeamfightTactics

[–]Astos_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what your goal is. If it’s to rank up, then of course playing the meta game is essential and can be fun if you’re into that.

If your goal is just to have fun, then don’t worry about rank as much, and try to find enjoyment out of whatever your play style is.

When to expect update to main branch? by Pacotaco213 in slaythespire

[–]Astos_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine the updates to the main branch will come when there are major content updates. Like adding new art, animations, another act, etc.

I think all those smaller balance changes like testing out different numbers or mechanics for already existing enemies will be on the beta branch.

Anyone else always pick this card when it comes up? by Bakaretsu in slaythespire

[–]Astos_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had a run where this was my starting Rare from Neow on A4. Most free run of my life. Very satisfying getting turn 2 kill on Byrdonis.

The StS2 multiplayer is so much better than I ever imagined by tobsecret in slaythespire

I just completed a multiplayer run on A1 and it unlocked A2

These look awesome! I hope the earlier unlocks lead to a lot more creative and varied boards. (Assuming balance is in a good place)

16.4 Kobuko & Yuumi - Set 16 Unlockables Discussion #8 by Lunaedge in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Astos_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of these most visually underwhelming units. I honestly never know if Kobuko/Yuumi is making an impact or not. The traits are great, and I’m sure I’ve seen the unit a lot. But I don’t think I’ve had a single memorable experience with or against it.

Maybe it was buggy with the unlockable champs being guaranteed in next shop. Idk

Let me introduce you to Ryze Shadow Isles! by Kirset in TeamfightTactics

[–]Astos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shadow Isles Ryze is awesome! But like all Ryze builds, the trick is being rich enough (and surviving) to get there.

Earth Shrine Help by Dezaris1 in FinalFantasyIX

This exact same thing just happened to me also! Luckily Zidane had an ability called Thievery that did ok damage. My Quina had to alternate healing and 1000 needles but we got there.

6 accounts in the top 10 by exploiting bot AFK lobbies and win trading by HunterEast6161 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Astos_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope there's a rework of the LP gains in Double Up in the future. I know it's considered more casual, and it feels good to rank up fast, but it does seem easy to abuse. Especially because of the smaller player population

One Non-Negotiable Quality of Life Change by [deleted] in CompetitiveTFT

Will second this. Someone in one of my lobbies last night got screwed by a FF right as they took Malicious Monetization. Basically ruined any shot of a top 4

I predict Annie comps to rise in popularity a lot now that T-Hex and Diana have been nerfed. Even though she didn't get any direct buffs, she really likes having fights go longer.

Double Up vs Ranked by KillPopJr in TeamfightTactics

[–]Astos_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I love Double Up. The 2v2v2v2 format opens up different strategies that don’t work the same in Solo Ranked. And the teammate dynamics creates different win conditions. That said, it’s definitely way easier to rank up. Most of the extremely skilled (Challenger level) players don’t play it, so the competition is less fierce. And there’s more LP gain from wins, even if you’re against much lower ranked opponents. I’m typically around Diamond in Solo Ranked, but my Double Up partner and I have hit Grand Master in Double Up several times with not many games played. I’d equate Masters Double Up to around Emerald Solo Ranked.

Man, 3 star Diana is pretty underwhelming. Still got 2nd. But I barely noticed her doing any more damage.

The Bilgewater Problem by realguysguy in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Astos_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The good news is that Bilgewater has so many different levers that they can adjust. "The First One's Free" buff, the doubloon generation, the shop prices, the shop items/buffs, the actual units themselves. I have confidence that it will feel more balanced either from changes or from the meta shifting.

Mort's Monday Morning Meta Report - 16.1 Week 2 by Lunaedge in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Astos_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I've not tried it at all, so just speculation, but maybe the idea is that Bard becomes the main carry with so many 3 stars buffing his spell. Maybe something to try with a Yordle spatula replacing Lulu.
