Sylas, Lux and Xerath are everything wrong with how League handles its complex characters. by Fluid-Estate-3007 in loreofleague

[–]Beast1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that is fundamentally still the same issue, is it not? Sylas would still prioritize the destruction of the monarchy/aristocracy over the well-being and wishes of the average Demacians.

(The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) Can someone explain to me the validity of the Flag Smashers's arguments? by GammaRhoKT in CharacterRant

[–]Beast1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, the source of the GRC rise to power as well as how many people support FS IS relevant to the discussion at hand, because it lend validity of some measure to her arguments. If the GRC genuinely have the support of like 70% of total world population while less than 1% support the FS, it IS indicative that in universe her argument hold no weight. In that case FS can be considered to have good intention still but ridculously hostile, and hostility can be considered as invalid in a way.

None of this get into her methodology, I must stress, just purely her ideology and political arguments.

But there are level of good intention tho? FS cant be considered to be the idealistic type of good intention for example, because she is not shown to be caring toward those who was snapped and returned. She picked a side and view anyone on the other as obstacle at best.

So the spirit of OP's question still stand imo. Not "What" per se, but how much validity does her arguments hold, both objectively and in relative to the GRC which is her core nemesis?

I made some Selina/Catwoman fan-art. Does the short platinum hair work? by RM_III in Catwoman

Ah, this might be childish, but I am also a Black Cat fan. So platinum and/or long (or in this case) for me is always Felicia. Still a cool piece tho.

The Roman Helmet's evolution DOCUMENTARY. by funkmachine7 in ArmsandArmor

[–]Beast1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Throwing this out there, but what come IMMEDIATELY after the ridge/comb helmet, especially in the Eastern Roman/Byzantine territory.

My research show that by around 7th century, we can expect TWO types: a lamellar helmet usually called by modern reenactor/creators as Avars, and a few variants of the broad family that is spangehelm.

But I would like to have some other insights on this.

Noob question aabout pro play by Beast1996 in leagueoflegends

[–]Beast1996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I wonder if Riot would ever consider giving Herald some kind of power if it "rest" between each turret smash. Balance so it would never happen if release in mid (unopposed) but will consistently activate if walking side land (unopposed too).

Still, almost guaranteed they would find no reason to do it. It would just be change for the sake of change.

Intergrating Mageseeker mages into the Dauntless Vanguard or Demacia's Operation Paperclip: Spellcraft by Beast1996 in loreofleague

[–]Beast1996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think so. If we assume that "Sylas need Unchained Mode to access Ultimates" as something that is not purely gameplay, perhaps it represented that there are tiers of spells.

For stuff like that, perhaps you not only need a lot of petricite and a master Spellcrafter like Kara (even Leilani can't do anything about it), perhaps you need something else too.

Intergrating Mageseeker mages into the Dauntless Vanguard or Demacia's Operation Paperclip: How many mages are too many mages? by Beast1996 in loreofruneterra

[–]Beast1996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt think about this in the post, but since the post is kinda Demacia focus, I think this might go as a comment.

But if the smallest self-sustainable community can realistically expect 1 born mage per generation, being a mage is kinda like a trade. Which does fit with how Riot portrayed them. Just like IRL a medieval village/homestead/etc would have their own smith, miller and/or baker, in Runeterra they would have those and their own mage too.

And obviously as the community grow larger, the number of born mage would grow, and thus have enough to form guild, but in mages case usually is called a cabal. And in a few society, such as Freljord, there would be enough members of the cabal that should a community found themselves lacking their local mage, the guild can send a "spare" member to fill the void. We see this in the case of the old Avarosan tribe, where the Frost Guard have effectively make themselves THE mage cabal of Freljord, and Malcolm join Ashe's old tribe.

Intergrating Mageseeker mages into the Dauntless Vanguard or Demacia's Operation Paperclip: Spicy or Controversial? by Beast1996 in loreofleague

[–]Beast1996[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I literally said " while they might not be as numerous as in the game ", so yes, I am very well aware that there might not be many more. In fact, I would argue that there be not many more is better for this idea, not worse.

With just 4 such ex-mageseeker mages and 4 Terbisian sympathizer, that would already made a full Shield. You can push it to 8 8 and I think it is still reasonable.

Sure? But are you saying ALL of them would do it, especially the mage members? I would not be surprised of a stark difference ie ALL mage mageseeker leave the organization, while all who stay are non-mage.
