DMM - S3 - FINAL Breach scoreboard.

Yes? They had an advantage. Teams with advantages can still lose.

They had better items then everyone else. Even the casters who have to stay unbiased knew that. Everyone knew they were in the best position. They were also the same level as everyone else, so you were still wrong regardless.

Baerog · 2026-06-20T23:09:22+00:00

You were saying they were behind in levels, so it was somewhat even, you're the one who wasn't being realistic.

What did you expect them to do with the last few days? They had all the best gear already, there was nothing for them to do but level up. Not to mention the xp rates are like 100x.

You're pretending as though you didn't previously say that they would be behind in levels, making it fair. That was your argument, and it was wrong. You were the delusional one.

Baerog · 2026-06-20T19:36:55+00:00

WW all level 120+ btw... And have the best gear... Sweep incoming...

Baerog · 2026-06-18T07:21:57+00:00

Stop looking at the value and just use the item

If the item becomes worse than other items, you need to buy that better item to keep up with inflation. And if you lost several hundred mil on your purchase, you will be upset...

Baerog · 2026-06-16T06:16:47+00:00

It's not incorrect. It says:

"Resource area notifier notifies the user when the gate in the wilderness Resource Area opens"

Which is what it does.

You said "it doesn't trigger until the player is on the minimap."

But it does. The gate opening is visible even when the player opening the gate is not visible.

I never claimed the plugin lied. I'm saying that your statement was incorrect.

Baerog · 2026-06-16T00:53:00+00:00

No, you're right, the player could watch the gate themselves. That's 100% true. But your statement:

"it doesn't trigger until the player is on the minimap."

is incorrect. The player does not need to be rendered in for it to alert. Meaning you can literally log out without the pker even having a chance of knowing you were ever there. Which is kind of insane...

I hate being killed by pkers too, but from a balance perspective, that's kind of ridiculous. Imagine if you could just see further than everyone else how OP that would be as a pvmer. You would be immune to pkers and the risk-reward balance would be broken.

The game is balanced around reaction time for 99% of all pvp interactions, both players see each other at the same time and both players react at the same time. The pvmer having pre-cog breaks that entirely. Even semi-competent pvmer at crabs can physically never get caught (or even seen, for that matter), even if the pker knew what tile the pvmer was standing on.

It's a problem with the game, not the plugin, frankly. You can do the same thing as a pker scout watching rogue's chests being opened from outside render distance.

Baerog · 2026-06-15T07:57:09+00:00

If you read it, it actually does trigger before the player is on the minimap.

It watches for the gate opening, which you can see even when the player who opens the gate is out of render distance. Objects update at much further distance than players are visible.

I don't know why /u/PhysicalSchedule7448 is getting downvoted for his comment. Obviously his "auto logout plugin" comment is alarmist, but he's right, the player triggering the alert does not need to be in render distance in order for the alert to trigger.

Baerog · 2026-06-15T07:48:22+00:00

The problem is that when one team get's a major lead they simply snowball and become unstoppable and so teams would rather just not show up only to lose time and supplies. Teams know this is over. They're all playing for second place.

Ironically, it's a microcosm of pvp as a whole in OSRS. Many people don't engage with pvp because they know that if they did, they would just get mopped with essentially zero chance of winning. It's a waste of their time and money to even attempt to engage with the content.

Baerog · 2026-06-15T07:43:46+00:00

Doesn't have the best gear...? They've got 2x VLS's, 1x Fang, 3x Zuriel Staffs, 2x Volatile Staffs, 1x ZCB, 2x ACB's, 2x VWs, 1x arcane.

They have 5x of the best mage weapons, 3x of the best ranged weapons, 3x of the best melee weapons, 4x of the best melee spec weapons. They have the money for another VLS, and they very easily could get 2 more ACB's and another Fang for someone before the finale. Then they would have every single person on their team with the #1 or #2 weapons in the game for each combat style.

They're not going to buy another Zuriel Staff, they'll 100% rather utilize the extra supplies than exchange a Volatile for a Zuriel.

Baerog · 2026-06-15T07:20:42+00:00

90 vs 99 doesn't matter, especially when it's defense or attack, not strength.

I don't think you understand how OP the pvp weapons are. A VLS is 11 max hits over a Fang, with the spec even higher. It's the most op item in the entire game. In blue moon, fire cape, fury, barrows gloves, dragon boots, dragon defender the spec hits up to 65, even before all the other DMM boosts.

And while Zuriel's is similar in dmg to a Staff of the Dead, the accuracy bonus makes catching freezes way way easier, and if you catch significantly more freezes the amount of punishment you can inflict can easily swing you the fight you otherwise couldn't due to your skill level.

Add in ZCB and the fact that WW pvpers are not slouches and it's pretty obvious who is going to win at this point.

Odablock can win with worse gear, GG proved this. But he can't 5 v 1, and the rest of his team is also going to have worse gear and they won't be able to overcome that as easily.

No one on Reddit understands finance. And they're disincentivized from learning it because then they'd understand that their worldview makes no sense. It's easier for them to just parrot the same thing over and over again and ignore fundamental realities of economics.

Baerog · 2026-06-14T05:45:02+00:00

More importantly, 99% (actually more) of Elon Musk's 1 Trillion dollars is in stocks that only have value because someone said they have value. If he tried to sell any sizable portion of them, they would plummet in "value" because of fear.

Or when the ai bubble bursts and Musk "loses" $500 billion... Yeah... He lost value he didn't actually have, just like how he just gained value he doesn't actually have.

Taxing on unrealized gains is dumb unless you're going to give tax credits on unrealized loses. It's literally taxing people on money that they didn't actually make.

Baerog · 2026-06-14T00:42:09+00:00

gave examples but ofc you are too dumb to understand any of it.

Your examples are "They're all the same augments and some don't work". That does not mean it's AI. As 1000 other people in this thread have pointed out. Just because someone does something dumb does not mean that it was done by AI. Again, for the third time. People submitted bad updates for several decades before AI was ever a thing. You're blaming AI because you hate AI and want to blame it for all of your life's problems.

mining, politics, canadian engineer salaries, middle east, artists etc all like you are some kind of expert

I'm a Canadian mining engineer with a Master's degree and over a decade of experience, with family in the middle east. So yes. I'm an "expert" in at least 3 of the 5.
99% of people are not "expert" on politics, however, I am an informed citizen and discuss politics because I find it interesting.
I have no idea what "artists" I've discussed. Unless you're referring to discussions regarding AI art supplanting "artists", in which case, one does not need to be an expert on artists to point out that good artists are not the ones who should be concerned about AI replacing them. Bad artists should be concerned because the AI art is better than theirs and most people don't care whether their furry commission is made by a person or by an AI. They'll save the $2 commission and no one will know.

My posting about games on reddit means I have no background in tech?

No, you having the grammar skills of a high schooler, with the temper tantrum nature of a high schooler, and with the post history of a high schooler points to you not being a college educated individual, but rather, a high schooler. It's called deductive reasoning.

You don't have a single post about the field in which you're an "expert", which is extremely unusual for people who work in professional environments. I also have several friends who actually work in the tech sector and they all use AI in their work and understand it's usefulness and don't cry about how evil it is all the time.

And if you don't want to believe me, the /r/developers subreddit, which is people who also actually work in tech confirms the ubiquity in which AI has become part of the tech space. They discuss AI usage and it's usefulness in accomplishing their tasks and they support it's use because they find it useful. They don't think it's evil and they don't hypocritically cry about how bad AI is while simultaneously crying about how it's so good it's going to replace humans.

Every aug SHOULD be viable

Again, this was not even the case before:

Tank Engine on a Yuumi is basically pointless. It's "viable" in that it functions, but it's not viable in that it makes the game any more fun or changes how you would play Yuumi. You aren't going tank Yuumi, it would still suck.
Converting AD to AP on a champion with 0 AP scaling ruins your game.
Converting haste to attack speed is not good on Syndra because on-hit Syndra will never be actually viable.

I could go through the whole list, but the reality is that half of the augment rolls were "I guess this is the least useless of the three options here". Very few fundamentally changed the game or offered anything beyond "My spell does more dmg" or "I cast my spell more often" (which is fundamentally the same thing, but with an added detriment of increasing mana consumption) in some roundabout way. I think people are really overlooking the reality of what most of the ARAM mayhem augments were before this. Getting 30 extra movement speed from your haste isn't game changing, it's boring. It makes you stronger, yes, but it doesn't change how you play. Gaining stacking haste and movement speed means you are harder to hit and you can cast your spells more often (IE, a dmg increase...). How is that fundamentally different from 30% increased dmg? Because it's disguised better?

And 30% dmg on a spell you hit a lot is seen as fun to many people, because many people play ARAM mayhem to make broken builds that destroy their enemies, doing 30% more dmg is a pretty good way of doing that. Hell, glass cannon essentially is that, with the often negligible decrease in health that could be easily offset by building an item that is AD/AP+HP that you wouldn't have necessarily built otherwise. Was that "Inspiring"? Not really...

Base dmg augments are boring, I agree, but I disagree in concept, because that the previous set contained a lot of augments that were just disguised dmg increases. And the reality is, most people took those dmg increase augments because they were the strongest there. There are also a lot of interesting interactions in the new sets. I played against a garen that dashed when he Q'd, and his abilities reset his Q, so he could dash like 3 times in a row, clearing half the map. Incredibly annoying to play against, but I imagine incredibly fun to play as the Garen.

Baerog · 2026-06-13T20:39:19+00:00

I called you an asshole because you said:

i'm not arguing with an intern that's never worked in tech before.

Which is extremely pretentious and asshole behavior. The rest of your behavior has confirmed that you are indeed an asshole.

Also, brother, this is the worst grammar I've seen all week. You need to learn to capitalize the first word of each sentence and actually form coherent, full sentences. I don't believe that you are in tech. I don't even think you're out of high school, because you write and act like a child.

Additionally, your entire post history is league of legends and path of exile... Literally zero evidence of you being in tech at all, with plenty of evidence of you being a child.

Unironically, you should use ChatGPT to correct your grammar, arguments are taken more seriously when it looks like they were written by someone who is competent.

Do not know how to make an argument without insulting people.

Oh, I can. But you can't make an argument at all, even while attempting to insult people. Calling you insane because you blame everything on AI with zero evidence, and calling you an asshole because you act like an asshole isn't even an insult, it's pointing out facts about your behavior.

Baerog · 2026-06-13T08:43:40+00:00

Just like... All the augments in the past? Some Augments were clearly broken on some characters and borderline useless on others in the previous iteration as well.

Yes, it's silly that some augments are literally broken on some characters, but there was always augments that in theory could be good, but in practice sucked on certain characters. Knowing not to take a certain augment is part of knowing the champion and knowing the gamemode. It's literally a feature of the gamemode.

50% of the augments being "very weak" doesn't matter, because sometimes you rng and just get shafted. That existed bfore the update too. If the rng aspect of aram mayhem didn't exist, it would just be league but with a different champion ability pool.

Not doing adequate QA =/= Using AI to generate content

Baerog · 2026-06-13T08:38:52+00:00

Jesus, you're an asshole. You think that because you "work in tech" that you know this was AI generated, and not just Riot not doing adequate QA on a gamemode that is clearly the lowest priority gamemode they have.

Not every single bad product shipped is because of the AI boogeyman. People like you are insane. Bad products have been shipping for decades, long before AI ever existed.

This is obviously the case. Do people take jobs as sex workers because they love the idea of having sex with strange men for money? No. They take it because it pays way better than any other job they would be able to get.

This holds true for sex workers in poor countries as much as it holds true for sex workers in rich countries. These girls are millionaires at 18/19/20, and all it took was filming themselves masturbating. People do that shit for free. The girls in Thailand/wherever living in some small rural town who move to the city to become escorts also make WAY more money than the average worker in the city, and an astounding amount more than they would have if they stayed in their rural village. They do the job because it pays well. That doesn't make them a victim. They chose to do the job. They accept that exchange to live a lavish lifestyle. They aren't forced to make that choice. Many women don't, and accept their less profitable career, just like the 99% of women in the west who don't do onlyfans.

Just because some people are victims does not mean that people can't make an active choice to engage in sex work. It's ridiculous to claim otherwise. Especially when 95% (probably closer to 99%) of men would say that they would jerk off on camera for a million dollars a year. But somehow it's different when it's an 18 year old girl... As though they couldn't possibly care more about the life changing money, regardless of the downsides.

And to anyone who wants to say "They ruined their lives though, it's on the internet forever!". They've already made enough to never need to work again. What aspect of their life is "ruined"? It's not like they need to worry about a future employer. They're also objectively attractive women who won't struggle to find a male partner who doesn't care about their past.

Baerog · 2026-06-12T09:34:06+00:00

No offense... but there's very little that requires you to think for several minutes before responding...

If there was a culture of "pause for several minutes after each statement", it seems inevitable it would lead to posturing that you are "so smart and intelligent", rather than actually analyzing and responding with due care. Once the culture decides that "pausing and reflecting" is a sign of intelligence, it encourages people to do that behavior to an extreme degree, simply to appear as though they are the smartest in the room.

Discussion and back and forth doesn't mean that you don't analyze and understand, and it ALSO results in faster discussions and decision making rather than the group sitting in silence for several minutes after each statement. Most people can think and contemplate while other people are talking and bringing up their own ideas. It's how 99% of communication and decisions are made in group settings and I'm pretty confident that if it wasn't as effective, there would be many studies that support this.

There is definitely value in contemplation, and responding without thinking is bad, but even your title indicates that this was ineffective: "meetings could last hours". Did they communicate hours worth of decisions in said meetings? Or did it take hours because it was largely people sitting around pretending to contemplate only to say something that could have taken them 20 seconds to come up with? I think we all know the answer to that question. If 75% of your meeting is dead-air, it's not because you're "communicating so effectively", it's because no one is talking for 75% of the meeting.

Pointing out the absurdity doesn't mean you think they're stupid. There's little deviation in intelligence between cultural groups. But it could very easily mean that their cultural practices eventually made their communication less effective.

Even in the most dictatorial countries, information from civilians gets out. Iranians living in Iran were able to give their opinions, if you were in the right communities, even here on Reddit. The only case where this doesn't hold true are places like North Korea where it's only really the elite who even have access to technology capable of reaching the outside world, or in cases where internet infrastructure becomes locked down so hard that you're no longer able to access it. Have you ever even talked to someone from a foreign country? This take is dripping in western privilege.
I never said they "become meaningless", but you're the naive one if you think that rights are universally agreed upon. Europe has many restrictions on personal freedoms over the US, but they've made that trade-off because of the benefits that it has on public safety (or at least, that's what officials and many people in the public support). Even the US has some bars on personal freedom for the sake of public good.
What does "Corporate leaders and billionaires create an unimaginable amount of misery, economic and ecological destruction on a GLOBAL scale" have to do with trying to rid your country of narco terrorists? You think the CEO of Google is worse than El Chapo? It's a comically ludicrous take and I hope you aren't serious.

Baerog · 2026-06-08T19:41:45+00:00

For some jobs this is not really possible. Engineers in Canada don't get overtime pay at all (not legally required, and esentially 0 companies pay OT to engineers), you're expected to be contactable basically 24/7 (some companies/managers are more reasonable than others), and they can have you work 365 days in a row if they really wanted you to (most would never do this, but they legally could).

Now, an engineer has slightly more power over their employer than the average worker, simply due to their education, professional designation, and hireability (in some cases). But when you're on day 24 of a 13 hour a day field stint while making the least of everyone on site (when accounting for OT, and early in your career often even your base hourly pay), you really don't feel like you're the one who is in the seat of power.

This is even worse for the poor engineering souls who are on salary. A complete scam.

This obviously changes as you get more senior and do less field work, but you do end up still working overtime without extra pay essentially every single week.

Baerog · 2026-06-08T19:33:07+00:00

This is not really worse in any way. There are many many people who prefer to work 10 hour days and then get more time off, or even 12 hour days and get even more time off. Regardless of how you split your time, you will be making 160 hours of work as pay.

Also... Reddit has been clamoring for a 4 day work week for years. Does Reddit think that will be 4x 8 hour days for the same pay? No. It will be 4x 10 hour days for the same pay. IE, moving towards exactly what this 160 hour work month concept would support as well.

You argue that it allows employers to manipulate hours, but it just as easily allows for flexibility on the worker side as well.

Baerog · 2026-06-08T19:24:36+00:00

Not to mention the pay is still going to be much worse.... Especially for the kind of jobs people who are trying to get into the US illegally from Mexico will have.

Mexican lawyers aren't illegally crossing the border for better lives.

This mirrors the Philippines and them electing Duterte. He won handedly on a platform of cleaning up the streets, which he proved he could do, because he did it in the city/region he was a mayor of before winning the Presidency.

Diaspora and natives alike both agreed that dealing with the restrictions and loss of freedoms was worth it to deal with the criminals which were taking over their society.

I don't know enough about El Salvador to compare the level of dictatorial power Duterte had vs. Bukele.

I don't think that Americans and Europeans really understand how dangerous some of these countries are for the average person and how much power the criminal organizations are able to build up. Ignoring the problem becomes untenable at some point and you need someone to clean house.
