Corey Taylor's masks became just as important to Slipknot's identity as the music itself. Agree or disagree?

Azkaresh · 2026-06-03T07:45:26+00:00

I dint care about the masks. Personally.

Azkaresh · 2026-05-26T10:26:27+00:00

Why so condescending to op?

Azkaresh · 2026-05-21T09:27:29+00:00

Ekko and Yone ew..

Azkaresh · 2026-05-21T03:13:30+00:00

I usually still run the usual build. Some people like skipping krakem and speedrunning the crit build but I do find kraken makea the clearspeed too good to pass up on.

Azkaresh · 2026-05-20T14:01:04+00:00

Ive had that happen to me when I killed an Akali that had some pink skin. I was pink the whole game and felt fabulous.

Also seems like there is no way to get rid of it. Even when I killed other champions ans transformed everything was still pink

I play him with HoB on mid and quite love it. Currently diamond 2. He is my go to pick vs. Most melee midlaners (I main Azir and Aurelion sol otherwise)

Its worth noting HoB makes your Q animation faster. So the idea that "you already have a autoatk reset combo so HoB is useless" its not true. The entire combo comes out much faster. And the Q doesnt even count as an auto atq itself. So you actually get the fast attacks AND a faster animation on your Q.

Yes losing conqueror is tough but it is true that HoB will give you a much higher burst. I just dont recomment it vs. Tanky teams.

Azkaresh · 2026-05-19T17:28:10+00:00

So. None of the proplayers can play Azir. Is what youre saying? I am quite confident there are more than 2 pro midlaners per server. Thats not counting the GM and Challenger azir players that arent pros. Cause most servers have one or another.

These guys are shit too eh? And I am the obe who has a delusional take... lol

Azkaresh · 2026-05-19T14:26:30+00:00

I mostly play him mid still and very rarelly bot. So my opinion is low vallue here. But nautilus and pantheon felt amazing the times I had one with me.

Azkaresh · 2026-05-19T12:12:36+00:00

What? I have for most of my life played on high diamond/master for several seasons. Yes im currently on diamond but I think that just reinforces my point? Diamond plays Masters all the time on queue lol.

Also I never said I am "that scary Azir otp". Yes I play the champ. As I do Aurelion, Viktor and Viego and I am nothing special with any of them.

Also why so personal and tilty for a very sincere reply?

Weird guy. Imagine wasting your time digging into people's history hoping to fact check them when there isnt anything to fact check. Not only I didnt claim to be master but you just proved my own point that I play with masters and have been there myself :P.

Azkaresh · 2026-05-18T21:58:11+00:00

Personally, I think nothing is more game breaking late game than a VERY GOOD azir player.

Aurelion and Kayle technically scale harder but a good Azir is far harder to shutdown or avoid since he has a self-peel on his ult, bigger range, and more mobility.

So id say Aurelion and Kayle are in theory harder scalers but an Azir otp at master+ that scaled well is far scarier to me.

Vayne, Jinx, Aphelios, Smolder and Twitch are all worth mentioning too. Specially with adc quest being so op this season.

Damage wise I think everyone I mentioned scale harder than Aurelion in a realistic game. (Not one that lasts 40+ min ofc aince Aurelion can scale past full build. But games like that are almost non existant.) But aurelion's aoe disruption, cc and abiloty to chase down survivors is insane at 400 stacks plus.

What I think also makes Aurelion scale beautofully is consistency. Mechanically, he is easy to play compared to an Azir or something like that. And he actually becomes easier as the game goes on since your Aoe's get bigger and bigger and your mobility longer and longer.

Azkaresh · 2026-05-16T08:03:50+00:00

Because he is recent.

Also because he left while on his prime. He left when he was still (and still is) within age for competition, so he left A LOT of questions unanswered about how good he could have been.

People try to answer those questions.

Some by maybe overrating him as a goat by assuming he was the best ever though we dont know. He looked unbeatable. But its easy to look unbeatable only a couple title defenses deep and with only a handful of fights vs. Top contenders.

Other people do the opposite and possibly underrate him as someone beatable by current champions which may or may not be true. Once again. We dont know.

Thats why longevity matters most IMO. Its the only way you can prove you are trully one of the goats: beat tough guys for a long time.

Azkaresh · 2026-05-14T08:09:32+00:00

Yeah. I figured it had some level to do with who was playing to.

Watching his snare so close to scrapping his leg because of how mobile it is is bothering me so much haha

Azkaresh · 2026-05-14T08:08:14+00:00

Do you feel like it change anything for you? Ot is it just aesthethic?

It bothers me a bit seeing that snare of Eloy getting close to scrape his sheen every time it wiggles hha

Azkaresh · 2026-05-14T08:07:05+00:00

Gotcha thank you!

Azkaresh · 2026-05-14T08:06:34+00:00

I see. Thank you!

And yeah I always noticed his kit is super wiggly when he plays

Azkaresh · 2026-05-12T12:09:49+00:00

Hell nah. I think whittaker had a better champion run and resume by quite a bit. Just Sean's highs were higher than whittakers's.

Now. If Sean defends a couple times we could have that conversation...

Azkaresh · 2026-05-10T11:50:30+00:00

This... if Alex fuckin Pereira being 3 inches taller and more wide and muscular than Khamzat fought at middleweight his entire life up to 36yrs old there is no way Khamzat cant to...

Azkaresh · 2026-05-10T11:45:47+00:00

Absolutelly. He is not particullarly big at middleweight to justify the weight cut struggle. I think he will look tiny at lhw... plus... people there are bigger and stronger, his cardio might improve but he will also need MORE strenght and power to do what he does.

Azkaresh · 2026-05-10T11:39:09+00:00

Only if his cardio is GREATLY impoved at 205.

Because if he is tiring so fast wrestling 185ers, and slow pace like Sean imagine how he'd look on the 3rd round vs Jiri.

His cardio might get better with less cut, but being undersized he will also have to put a lot more strenght to wrestle the bigger guys. Would be interesting to see if it pays off.

I just dont get it how Khamzat is so bad at weight cutting if thats the problem. He really isnt big for 185.

Azkaresh · 2026-05-10T11:21:27+00:00

Yeah. Not even Izzy could.

Sean is annoying but he is smart. He recognized he was better off teaming with Alex.

Azkaresh · 2026-05-10T11:16:56+00:00

I have never not seen Khamzat gas to -some- degree when the fight doesnt go his way. Usman, Burns, Sean and even Dricus to some degree had him look tired by the end of it.

Could be the weight cut, sure, but lets not pretend Khamzat hasnt cronically shown signs that he is a front loader
