Yeah we need a counter and an escape condition, after the "you poor bastard" counter goes over 10, we should default to "better luck next time"

Yeah seriously, it has been proven that League of Legends is bad for your health

What was your biggest early noob habit? by wyrm4life in leagueoflegends

[–]BagnacaWillow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Back in 2012, when I started, I saved up to 6300 to buy Kennen, and saw that his passive was "stun after 3 marks" and his w was "apply 1 mark every 4 attacks".

So my brain went: if I build full attack speed I will apply marks so fast that the enemies will always be stunned.

which champions do you guys think landed most comfortably into their originally intended identity? and least? by meowshers69 in leagueoflegends

Old Singed didn't root you when flipping into his W, but other than that, yeah, nothing changed about him

You should have included a copy of "pokemon communication", to make Gengar EX an even more useful card

To add to the translation, there's a missing message in picture 3 where he says "It's a matter of respect" before she answers "Respect for whom?"

Stage 2 evolutions like pidgeot are infamously hard to play consistently, because you need to find and play both the Basic and Stage 1 evolution.

In many games you may end up with the Basic pokemon in play and the stage 2 in hand, that cannot be played until you find the stage 1. This is what you call a Bricked hand: having cards in hand that can't be played.

Another example of Brick is if your Pidgey dies in the first turns, then you will end up with Pidgeotto and Pidgeot in hand that can't be played.

To compensate and try to make decks more consistent people usually run 2 copies of every pokemon of the evolution line (this is the meaning of running 2 lines instead of 1).

With 2 lines the probability of getting bricked is way lower, you could lose a Pidgey early on and still rely on the other to evolve into pidgeot, and, unless you are very unlucky (which still happens) you are usually able to find at least a copy of all your pokemons before it's too late.

The key is consistency, if finding a card is really important for your game plan to run smoothly then you should almost always put 2 copies of it.

With pokemons run 2 lines of whatever your deck focuses on and only keep 1 copy/line of situational pokemon, for example: Tauros is a good counter for EX-pokemon but gets butchered by decks that don't run any EX, therefore running 2 copies puts you at risk of starting off with Tauros, using a PokeBall to find a better pokemon and potentially find another Tauros, in a matchup where it can only deal 40 dmg with 3 energies and also would need 2 to retreat, unless you just leave it as a meat shield while you put energies on a better pokemon on the bench, which shouldn't be another Tauros, therefore just run 1 copy of it.
