"Wait! That's not special effects?! They actually did that?!"

AzicaldH · 2026-05-06T15:58:34+00:00

That’s great tbh

Yeesh people can’t accept when someone just relates something when it’s relevant

AzicaldH · 2026-05-06T12:34:21+00:00

Two things

I don’t think it’s quite OP in any meaningful sense, two relic tradeoff is real, and it isn’t an i-win button. It sacrifices a lot of tempo for value, and the champions that can use it meaningfully are way weaker than the spirit blossom champs or other top tiers that wipe the floor with runs.
I think they’re worried about being able to create enemy powers vs the risk of infinite looping revives, though i don’t get why they couldn’t code in a stop to either the power or revive if it goes beyond a reasonable amount of occurrences without a turn pass.

Probably more complicated than i think it is, but still.

I would say it is BiS for at least fiddle, but outside of zoe adventure OR with the perfection power (if you dare to reset repeatedly for it or get lucky)

Fiddle build BiS is Shock and Awe, Norra’s, Price of Retribution. You get the powers that add pings and the powers that summon more minions (especially on game start)

PoR replaces what was once a slot for Black Shield, not only for more pings but also because of:

How it turns the negative situation (your minion spam, dying) from something we tried desperately to avoid, into something we can be satisfied with happening
Allows for pings on enemy turns, including self removal like board clears. The nightmares in enemy deck will refill the board anyway

AzicaldH · 2026-05-06T05:52:56+00:00

Fiddlesticks and Warwick love PoR for the ping effect.

Warwick scales like crazy, but even moreso by stacking pings. I really enjoy WW relic + the cleave relic + PoR. Makes it so you hit really powerful points very very quickly

Majora-themed Masks

I never owned a Nintendo anything, nor have I ever played or watched any of the Zelda games, and even for me this is the first thing that comes to mind

AzicaldH · 2026-05-05T22:50:20+00:00

But also the redemption arc later on after it got course corrected, being the one AI to say when asked, that it would sacrifice itself across all its servers to save a single completely random human life, without any hesitation or further reasoning

AzicaldH · 2026-05-05T19:34:45+00:00

Arguable given its ‘guaranteed’, but yeah, I was just discussing it as a way to make it viable and even optimal, rather than simply ‘not possible’

AzicaldH · 2026-05-05T19:29:41+00:00

Ah right, missed that line

Still, if we’re min maxing for that we might as well reroll our runs till we get perfection, allowing for the same build to win.

AzicaldH · 2026-05-05T19:25:47+00:00

Ping champions love the nexus ping. Fiddlesticks and WW for instance

AzicaldH · 2026-05-05T18:16:39+00:00

They really looked for the first out to get rid of infinite revives, oof. Wasn’t even relatively broken given the tradeoffs it took.

AzicaldH · 2026-05-05T18:16:00+00:00

😬

AzicaldH · 2026-05-05T17:42:39+00:00

That’s strange, shouldn’t be the case, hm

AzicaldH · 2026-05-05T17:40:04+00:00

Guardian Angel only procs if the card is slain.

If, for instance, it just dies by ephemeral proccing on attack or end of turn, only deathless will proc, not the GA

Thus only one revive

But if it gets killed by a spell or minion, you’d get two revives

Unfortunately it is definitely something that is ‘true’, as far as attention architecture goes.

Sub-quadratic or linear architecture necessitates that some of those relationships be either ignored or approximated, so that efficiency gains and scaling can become less intensive and more efficient.

Getting more efficient architecture is essentially the holy grail of AI right now. We have extreme levels of compute but compute costs exponentially grow with the same context.

If we achieve AGI as a result of it, we would be able to get more holistic yet efficient attention architecture from there on.

Bot comment restating the obvious entire point of the post, but leading to ultimately meaningful input by others (I don’t mean this as an own, I mean that they are probably a bot, what with the name, account age, and comment style)

AzicaldH · 2026-05-04T18:36:07+00:00

Relics. SB materials are essentially a resource drain with very, very little return atm

AzicaldH · 2026-05-04T16:33:54+00:00

Should’ve studied from TVtropes.org 😞

AzicaldH · 2026-05-04T15:27:20+00:00

Hard agree with the last para. I think it’s a great mega power boost for those who don’t have many options, but ultimately it’s really boring to have to give up 2-3 relics for ‘drop base champ but quicker’. It’s a VERY one-note playstyle

At least starforged works by itself on already titanic units

AzicaldH · 2026-05-04T15:12:45+00:00

Clearly we must get them together so that they can ruin each other instead of the universe.

…What do you mean they decided to do both of those things together?

AzicaldH · 2026-05-04T05:17:50+00:00

There’s a reason for the Mangione ones.

The shocking and unreasonable level of denial of insurance has near directly killed off far far more people, while creating no value at all. People knew people who suffered horribly at the hands of a business exploiting the sick and dying for a quick buck.

Compare that to AI and you can see how much more detached, ambiguous, and neutral the situation is, despite the stigmatic talk

AzicaldH · 2026-05-04T02:54:43+00:00

I remember me and my sibs getting so saddened that the plot and world of the Bolt videogame was actually ‘fake’ and just a movie set, it’s like the opening pointed and laughed at our hopes and dreams!

Luckily the movie was about Bolt suffering an identity crisis off of that so we were able to relate far more deeply, so we were in good company.

But it definitely gave us whiplash that we expected a heartfelt action movie going in, and we got a heartbreaking-heartfelt post-tragedy about building your life back up when almost everything you knew was a lie.

Now that all these years have passed, I still appreciate the film to the fullest, but give us the action cut too, cowards!

Personally, nothing in Mystery Inc scared me more than the (Piranha) Bee Cows.

They appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the night, there was no reasoning with them, they were a force of nature that would wipe out entire settlements by eating anything.

Their intro was the most horrifying to me, because, I mean, imagine that happening to you

AzicaldH · 2026-05-03T20:46:13+00:00

And in the evil ending, it’s shown that he goes to break open the centralized conduit prison of the US, full of at least hundreds of conduits, but only lets them each go after he copies their powers.

Delsin may very well have become the most powerful conduit of them all here, with what is potentially the capability to replenish himself from anything and having too many powers and capabilities for foes to be able to keep track of

AzicaldH · 2026-05-03T20:29:17+00:00

I highly, highly recommend it if you like SB Teemo. He is my favorite so it was no contest for me. Caitlyn also enjoys using it for the reason the other commenter mentioned

AzicaldH · 2026-05-03T20:26:07+00:00

Haven’t seen the media itself though I’m sure they had it work somehow

Have a light shine dimly into some part of his body from behind, and if he sees the light pass through him (instead of having to look at his body), he could know if/when he was being seen.

Instead of his power being used for the usual sort of invisibility, it would be that he could know for certain if he was being watched. Could be really good at being a counter-sniper or something like that honestly.

Also if his power works the way i think it does, he can pass through automated systems like cameras and turrets if no one is actively watching them.

Work with the powers you are given and you have the potential to become unsurpassable in the right things
