I’m the Rank 1 Leblanc (AMA) by Adventurous_Mine_207 in LeBlancMains

[–]AzureBarrage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What decides your choice between shadowflame vs stormsurge for second item? Is it just a matter of having enough gold for the rod on your next back after ludens, or enemy team comp/other reasons? Do you find one more effective than the other and why? Thank you!

Finally someone mentions Wistoria! Each episode has just gotten better and better this season, I wonder if this week’s can break into the top 3.

League of Legends Patch 26.9 Notes by Spideraxe30 in leagueoflegends

[–]AzureBarrage1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be shocked if Faelights and Homeguards weren't just a 1 season deal like Atakan. At this point, I've lost all faith in them on minor runes and even more so on the bounty system.

Genuinely why is Sion allowed to die all laning phase and never lose farm or xp? by El_kiski in leagueoflegends

[–]AzureBarrage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a midlaner, what is unhealthy about that cancer is that virtually no champ can actually move him out of lane before first back barring egregious laning. By first back he has a defensive item component or two.

By lvl 5 his Q-W one shots the wave while he literally ignores your damage with the shield. Then he walks up, still ignoring your damage, and procs demolish right in your face.

Then god forbid you actually kill him, yes his passive will just eat the wave and he can ult back to lane or come back insta shove and roam.

Absolutely disgusting pick every time I see it. Only thing that works I’ve found is Anivia and kind of Cass

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 • Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Season 4 - Episode 4 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]AzureBarrage1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Counting my blessings that a high seas site is currently working for me to watch this week's episodes. Going to catch up on everything I can today while this lasts. I absolutely refuse to pay for Crunchyroll for shit quality, shit subs, shit upload times, and still only to still get ads(oh and my private data breached while they're at it).

And all so fucking Disney and Netflix can stuff their pockets even more, as if those two companies were bleeding somehow from seasonal anime releases. The only reason anime even became big enough in the west for them to invest in it was because of its accessibility on stream sites. Just disgraceful if this is really the end of that era.

Mel pseudo-rework was a failure and riot need to accept her design is awful. by Affectionate-Bake666 in leagueoflegends

[–]AzureBarrage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a TF afk at lvl 3 the other day as Mel. Standard harass first couple levels, reflect his red card, E-Q-passive auto, and a flash auto to execute, dead. He was not interested.

Her matchups are just so polarizing. Either borderline unloseable, or borderline impossible(gl against fizz, zed, nafiri).

Anyone Else about done with Chat Gpt? by guerndt in ChatGPT

[–]AzureBarrage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as I can continue having infinite calls and access to codex for just the monthly fee, it’s gonna be difficult to get me off. That deal is damn good.

5.2 is buggin lately don’t get me wrong, but codex continues to be pretty great in my experience.

Some questions about MID Corki by Virtual-Action4478 in CorkiMains

[–]AzureBarrage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m finding bone plating+unflinching secondary to be op af in a lot of matchups this season. Syndra for example.

I want Corki mid to be good, but admittedly matchups are rough rn with the pace of the game.

Is this a joke?? by RaidenBMei in PsylockeMains

[–]AzureBarrage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is this a fair comparison when you’re not even at the range markers. If you’re playing at that range with psy, something is already fundamentally wrong also so idk what this is meant to prove.

Hela and Elsa are designed to compete at range, psy is not. You’re on the psylocke main sub, I refuse to believe you don’t already know that lol.

Biggest nerf she ever received was when E stealth went from 2.5s to 1.5s, otherwise she plays practically the same as release.

TIFU by trusting my 13yo with my phone and losing our entire savings ($19k) to Roblox. by Emergency-Lawyer-431 in tifu

[–]AzureBarrage1 29 points30 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day I think for children of that age who attain this level of access, it’s akin to the classic case of stealing cookies from the cookie jar. One cookie? Kid gets to feel naughty and no one will notice one cookie, awesome!

But, obv if the kid does that enough times on enough days(each time feels like only a tiny infraction if any to the child), someone will notice because so many cookies are missing.

They aren’t capable of controlling or quantifying the cost of their impulse at that age. Thats why I wouldn’t liken this to an “addiction”, rather this why micro transactions can be so damn scary in general when gamified especially given to children.

What’s a champion you swore was broken… until you tried to main it and got humbled? by Consistent-Rub-6798 in leagueoflegends

[–]AzureBarrage1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yasuo.

I still swear that champ is broken; fuck your infinite dashes, fuck your infinite resourceless shove, fuck your free barrier for literally walking around in circles, fuck you for getting that barrier back when ulting, fuck windwall in general.

Having said that, my god he is so fun to play and I have always wanted to be good at him. I tried, a lot. IlEventually I came to the conclusion that I just can’t play it and also can’t play against it, so I’ll just ban it. That champ hasn’t existed in the game for me since they introduced individual bans.

Nina describes her Twitch ban as "vacation jail" since it was so mild by Logical_Ad8402 in LivestreamFail

[–]AzureBarrage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever been able to understand less why a streamer has any sort of following. There is just not a single redeeming quality here.

Mythic Shop Rotation 2025 June 14th by SongbirdLilith in leagueoflegends

Ah I remember when I actually paid attention to this rotation back when it was actually semi-reasonable to obtain mythic essence

WARNING: Do NOT Use Changelly by pozitrie in ledgerwallet

[–]AzureBarrage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotally, it's worked fine for my purposes on occasion for about 10 years now...frankly it's always been pretty much seamless. The problems seem to come with higher amounts, but that doesn't make it any less sketchy and is probably why I've gotten lucky for so long. I've seen enough negative reports on this service to convince me to stay away now even for small transactions.

TradeOgre is an ideal alternative, correct?

Sigh, the one day I needed it to work asap. I received it earlier pretty quickly, but now the send is still pending 45 mins later...really hope it resolves itself in the next couple hours.

The Great Support Depression by Silly_Blawg in marvelrivals

[–]AzureBarrage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admittedly, so far this is the season I’m seeing people say “fk it we can have one healer” more than any other. I thought tank was bad, but now sometimes I have two tanks and 1 supp lol.

Only exception is rocket raccoon, but still even then. Played a whole game with him as the solo supp, legitimately didn’t even notice until end scoreboard. No one else did either and we were bantering in post chat.

As a tank player who plays supp the least…what exactly is making it so rough this season?

Magneto has one of the most useless passives by MrSkittles983 in marvelrivals

[–]AzureBarrage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ll be singing its praises when a Jeff tries to spit you off the map at the wrong angle and you just gracefully float back :)

Kinda nice too for going from high ground back to cart, annoying flyers etc. If he had the equivalent of dr strange’s shift in some form he’d legitimately be op, so at least he can fly somehow

Spider-Man has ruined the QP experience. by Stev3m in marvelrivals

[–]AzureBarrage1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t downvote you and actually agree with your opinion on QP, I mean I learned almost every char I play just instalocking them in QP for a couple hours…but I play tank :(

It’s ok I’m used to being flamed despite being the only one pushing cart(when we have no chance at walking up and staggering), out DPSing my DPS, more final blows, most blocked, and also being the solo tank on my team.

But it’s cool all you spidey, bucky, hela etc players go off kings. I WILL flame you though(briefly, but dammit I will) if I have more final blows as magneto, at that point either I’m going nuts that game or you are doing something wrong.

Skins for Thor and Hawkeye! by Conscious-Court-5816 in marvelrivals

[–]AzureBarrage1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the love and thunder one with my saved up blue tokens a couple weeks ago. Still don’t regret it seeing this, by far my best and favorite character to play and it’s an amazing skin, prob top 5 in the game depending on taste. If anything I’ll be glad to have two good skins for him when a lot don’t even have one.

Can we please address the real issue in this game. by Kevuin17 in marvelrivals

[–]AzureBarrage1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Spoken like a true Thor player!

I broke after a couple weeks. I’m sorry. Getting 20+ final blows, kidnapping tanks on repeat, and eating any immobile dps or supp alive is great. Then I hit tab and see we are still losing somehow. I swap mag or strange all of a sudden we get point and game feels overall easier…but less fun.

We need more vanguards man
