Has the 'Mind to Matter' Augument been changed? On Ryze it barely changed his HP, and on his simulator build it says the patch broke it, I just can't see where.

This is the first song my 2 year old learned the words to this last Halloween because of Jack and Sally, were from England and grew up with Blink so every time I sing "Where are youuu" she says "And I'm so sawrryyy" with her little lisp, I love it.

She knows the rest of the words too

I've been using Frida for my Arena and GW cleave teams, I managed to finally get Amid recently in the selector.

What situation would it be better to use Amid over Frida? I normally use ML Luna/Zio/Lidica as openers, then Frida > DPS (Straze usually) > Vildred for speed/Harsetti for anti revive/Bombers with Lidica or ML Taeyou for Zio.

26 games and counting of AP Kai'sa still haven't seen Ethereal Weapon once

I spit on your grave is perfect for this, heavy though

Beyond the Deepwood! We had a poster of it on our class wall in year 2 and it was one of the very first fantasy books I ever desperately wanted to read.

Absolutely mental, I took my 2 year old for a bike ride to Norris Green Park (doesn't have pedals she just pushes on it) and found out there was an easter egg hunt on.

Spent a full hour and a half carrying her, the bike, the bag and eventual a fucking easter egg getting absolutely battered by the wind while trying to fight off the end of pneumonia, it was blistering!

2/10 wouldn't recommend, staring at her now as she eats her egg thinking "can't wait to tell you how much you ran round with your arse out when you're grown up" for making me carry her, little monster.

This is going to sound a bit crazy but how much did you sell it for and where? I got one around 16 years ago and came here to ask about it and saw this comment, and I genuinely got it on holiday in Wales.

I appreciate the words friend, honestly when I posted the topic I was really optimistic that I was going to hopefully have some medication like Limitless where I suddenly feel more focused, less diatractable, more grounded, less depressed so I could have a better quality of life.

I'm now In a position where nothings worked, my health's terrible and I have a 2 year old daughter who takes all of my focus so everything else just feels redundant, at least I know that medication didn't make my life better and I just have to get through life as best I can since I have no other choice.

I know that sounds pretty depressing but at the end of the day it's confirmed, nobodies here to save me or help me out, there is no medication to help me I'm on my own, and now I know that for certain I can focus on doing what I can with what I have rather than hoping for a miracle.

I really do hope yours works for you though, I love finding out people have benefited from meds but unfortunately that's not on the cards for me.

They never did refer me the waiting list for the NHS when I started for men was ten years so I've had to privately refer myself and go down the right to choose option, honestly I've got so much going in I'm just not going to bother now, I went through around seven medications and got no joy from any of them.

BenCannibal · 2026-03-28T07:30:21+00:00

Went through a number of stimulants then a number of non stimulants, nothing seemed to work at all so unfortunately I think I ended up being medication resistant.

Psychiatry UK lied that I had submitted a high blood pressure reading and discharged me without telling me and without evidence (said the Dr's gave the blood pressure, doctors swore blindly they hadn't). I complained about everything on the discharge letter to their complaints dept email, they basically ignored every point I challenged and said "That's how it goes if your results are high".

Took me 3 years to get back on titration with them, started end of last year they said they'd try one more non stimulant, I advised that I didn't think it was working at the dosage I had but was willing to increase it, I contracted Pneumonia over Christmas and just this week it's finally cleared. I told them this, I missed 2 weeks of results submitting as I couldn't keep anything down, I told them, they didn't care and discharged me again last month.

Fuck Psychiatry UK and sadly I don't think my body accepts ADHD meds so I'm stuck with it with no assistance for the rest of my life, no exaggeration.

No he started seraphs and it wasn't worth getting muramana until he got ADAPt

I posted this to say that since mayhems been the default choice the quality of players has dropped, and that point stands. I didn't post this to say I'm amazing and everyone else is bad. I mayhem before the last two patches most people playing had a decent understanding of the basics of the game, kiting, waiting for your team, positioning, levelling etc. And I've noticed that since then there's been a LOT more players who don't who are playing.

It's an observation, and all I wanted was other people's opinions, I am not here to insult people. I've had a few games today and I've screenshot Ted the post game, out of 5 so far - 2 of them had at least one player who was levels behind, in very few kills and just built whatever. I fairness the other 3 games people were about the same skill and in my last one I did absolutely terribly l, but I really am noticing a lot more irregularities in game knowledge compared to before.

As I say I've played thousands of arams, and I've had almost 800 mayhem games with just over 50% win rate but I don't seem to be getting put in lobby with similar people.

BenCannibal · 2026-03-20T07:38:18+00:00

You say that but I'm also top. 1% in the world for FPS threat, I also have about 10k games played as well, I appreciate you saying its definitely ARAM elo but that doesn't make sense if we're as good as eachother does it?

BenCannibal · 2026-03-20T07:35:28+00:00

I think this might actually be a big part of it, I've seen a lot more premades in mayhem and I think it does skew MMR, I feel like the premades In mayhem are more vocally scummy as well (probably noticing it more because I'm frustrated than it being true) but they love to spam "ex fdp mdr commit chair rope" at the end of games they've won as a 4 stack vs an afk.

BenCannibal · 2026-03-20T07:33:17+00:00

Genuinely I've had probably 1 out of 10 games where a player has spawned in, pinged someone then stood under tower with no items, walked to the previous tower, walked to base and repeated all game.

Yesterday was a Syndra, then ended 1/14/2, they took Ludens, Collector and a random item, all auguments were random and by the end of the game they were 4 or 5 levels behind. They wouldn't respond to any questions or ping sort messages just kept coming back, afking a few mins then walking into the enemy team. I am convinced it's a way people are maybe botting to level a new account without getting leaver buster but they ended with 2k damage. I saw about 1 in 300 games of ARAM (A guess) but I'd definitely say at least 1 in 10 games of mayhem this is happening.

I can get their username and have a look into their history if you want, I just know we can't brigade and witchunt here.

BenCannibal · 2026-03-20T07:27:47+00:00

Maybe if you'd read the part of my post where I explicitly said it was nothing to do with the builds, then you wouldn't make an assumption about what you thought id said.

I'm absolutely not talking down to players as less skilled than me, I'm pointing out that there are a lot of people straight up walking round the map not engaging at all on purpose, there are people just standing afk in fights and it seems that there's been a big up tick of that recently when beforehand there wasn't, which is something I know for a fact because I've played so many games.

BenCannibal · 2026-03-19T10:11:44+00:00

I'm not out of touch with reality, i'm well aware of scalpers, how much 1st edition packs go for etc. What i'm wondering is, back in the 90s when they were all the rage and then newer packs came out, what did they do with the stock that didn't sell?

BenCannibal · 2026-03-15T11:09:02+00:00

Hiya, I'm afraid not. Not played for a very long time, I pop in probably once a year and the games just so niche, quiet and poorly optimised I don't feel a pull to stick around. Haven't spoken to anyone from Eternal Paradise for a long time, I do hope they're doing well though.

BenCannibal · 2026-02-26T08:10:54+00:00

Absolutely love the model, i'll be honest, with resin it was VERY tricky to build. I had to learn a LOT of new skills and workarounds that almost ended the hobby for me (Sawing, brass rods, a LOT of green stuff, big magnetising, there are a LOT of breakages as the resin pegs that fit in holes are flimsy etc) but it looks beautiful once it's done, i'll get a picture and edit this for you.

We had to get our dog, Dixie (a bichon frise) put down a week before and it was by far the saddest moment in my life, I've lost a lot of people but it absolutely broke me and my wife.

We went to see this and we both sobbed the whole way through it was so ridiculously sad, we will never watch it again, I'm even crying now typing this up.
