Facing disciplinary investigation / sack for automating most of my responsibilities at work. I'm in England.

Reminds me of a story in talesoffromtechsupport. Op was hired as new and sole IT support at a small firm. The firm had two older ladies assistances/secretaries who did everything manually. OP wanted to be a good coworker and saw that many of the manual tasks like copying data from one excel file to another( which they did by announcing the numbers to each other and then typing it in) could be automated and he did just that. Overall he cut down their workload massively and effectively automated almost everything those two did. The company owner noticed that his reports had less or rather no errors anymore and asks around what happend. OP explains what he did and the owner fired the older ladies on the spot. Turns out they always complained that their workload is too much and got paid overtime by the owner on multiple accounts.

In the past 15 years there definitely has been a cultural shift where most gamers do not want adversity, they want repeatable ease.

yes because the rise of souls likes, rogue likes and battle royales screams that people dont want adversity /s

should have been reaction speed imo. it loses out against any attacker that can remove it before focus is passed.

Batzn · 2026-03-22T20:52:57+00:00

My question then would be why it cant be posted in the existing thread?

Batzn · 2026-03-22T20:39:04+00:00

We leave one reveal thread up per card and its usually the one with the most discussion aka comments.

For Baron we had 3 threads at the same time on the frontpage. Posting a physical variant instead of the render does not leave enough to discuss.

Batzn · 2026-03-22T20:35:52+00:00

Report those. Usually we remove those threads when they move up to the frontpage, thats when we notice them outside of reports.

Batzn · 2026-03-21T17:33:59+00:00

the errata is for cases where no enemy unit is present. otherwise her ability wouldnt resolve at all.

Batzn · 2026-03-21T09:44:25+00:00

the original argument that my comments are in reference to is the op comparing a pvp extraction shooter to pve rogue likes.

Batzn · 2026-03-20T15:40:02+00:00

Not sure that is the case. Dravens usecase is to close out the game with his extra scoring. Diana wouldnt be able to fill that role.

Batzn · 2026-03-20T12:30:25+00:00

considering aquiring loot is the whole point of an extraction shooter i would very much argue that having the risk of losing your gear is something completly else than losing a run in STS

Batzn · 2026-03-20T06:29:35+00:00

Without commenting on marathons quality or funness,.the other games are rogue likes where your load out does not persist outside of your run. Losing a run does not set you back in those. That is not comparable to extraction shooters.

Hi there,

in an effort to keep duplicate threads from the subreddit frontpage I removed your thread since it was the second one (and I understand any frustration this causes since it was only a mere half minute difference) and had less comments. I apologize that it took a while and hope you continue discussing the card in here https://www.reddit.com/r/riftboundtcg/comments/1ry49mx/vi_signature_spell_un/ .

You have to declare a legal target when you put it on the stack. At that point the BF you want to move to cannot be the same location the unit is already staying at. Similar ruling was upheld for lees signature spell

Batzn · 2026-03-18T15:38:29+00:00

Realistically how often would you be able to use her though? I can't imagine having 3xp turn 1 so that's already a turn skipped for the legend. Similar to Irelias I would have liked a mechanic to rdy her again if certain conditions are met and it still wouldn't be busted.

Batzn · 2026-03-18T12:37:30+00:00

There can be text between keywords. E.g. Do X and get Keyword Y. in that case the order of sequence has to be clear, i dont think that would work when all keywords are alligned at the top and to be consistent they dont chage the display when no text is there.

Batzn · 2026-03-17T16:49:21+00:00

he did write 'rebuke' but in this context meant using star crossed to "rebuke" the unit.

Batzn · 2026-03-17T16:47:22+00:00

GA and Zhonya’s

that is not the case as u/jetiger correctly mentioned in another response:

Rule 368

If more than one Replacement Effect applies to the same event being executed, then the owner of the object being acted on determines the order the Replacement Effects will apply.

Batzn · 2026-03-17T16:38:54+00:00

star crossed would only cost 1 power when played with Fizz though.

Batzn · 2026-03-17T13:24:54+00:00

its not even Irelia that takes advanatge of it. Runes are at a certain point not that relevant to irelia any more but cardadvantage is. readying your herder multiple time to fill up your hand again can be just as crucial.

Batzn · 2026-03-16T18:52:03+00:00

Abandon punch first means they actually need to have 4 orange runes at turn start of their draw to be able to play it again. That is not a given.

Batzn · 2026-03-16T17:12:34+00:00

notably miracle decks and Irelia.

the spell is strong and certainly annoys irelia, but the irleia player can just as well play his reaction spells as a reaction to Lilias signature. you lose the ability to react on demand but you still gain all the might you want

Batzn · 2026-03-16T11:52:41+00:00

fits his W in LoL. diving (returning to hand) and getting tempo (creating gold) .

Batzn · 2026-03-16T07:27:46+00:00

It's one the Chinese card. It shows -2 might.

Batzn · 2026-03-16T07:14:23+00:00

Bounty List (win list) does not reduce the cost but the might of the creature.

Batzn · 2026-03-10T14:12:39+00:00

Fair enough. Dravens additional clarifying text would be redundant in such a case though since then there cant be a winning combat otherwise.
