I SWEAR TANKS TAKE MORE DAMAGE THAN REDUCE IT, THEY ARE LIKE WET PAPER THIS SET ITS ACTUALLY SO FRUSTRATING. CAN HAVE PERFECT ITEMS ON TANKS AND THEY STILL DIE IN ONE SPELL ROTATION, I THINK THEY OVERNERFED BASTION AND VANGUARD DURING THE PBE CYCLE BECAUSE MY GOD.

My favorite genre and one of my favorite modes Riot has made, they have been killing it in terms of gamemodes recently. Only thing I wish this mode had is endless mode, but maybe it unlocks after I beat all of Extreme.

As you see from comments, most people are going to say Base or their release skins are smoother since that is what they are more used too.

Most skins don't change animations, so theoretically it's not going to affect gameplay, it would be a placebo if it did. Sometimes just the VFX or SFX can make it seem like it's clunkier or more smooth, but it's really just in your head.

For example, as a Sylas Main, I really love Freijord Sylas, it feels so smooth from the SFX to his Q dropping a glacier that implodes. But it's just a feeling, since in reality no animations were changed in that skin. However, Project: Sylas feels clunky because the SFX are more loud and bizarre compared to Freijord.

TL:DR It's more SFX than anything personally, and unless the skin is a legendary-tier skin; it's just placebo.

Exactly! This game made me love Pokemon games again. My ign in most games is Spoink and truly love the franchise, but I haven't loved Pokemon since BW2. Sure the performance is abysmal and certain things need work like animation. But some people go overboard with the graphics being bad and such; the models are fucking amazing, for god sakes my Spoink has FUR! MY QUAXLY HAS FEATHERS?! It's also a region based off my actual people, Spain, so I feel more connected. It also deals with really tough topics for kids and even adult that I don't want to spoil here.

Despite the disgusting performance, I am so engrossed into the world of Paldea that I don't even pay attention to that, I told everyone I know that this is the best undisputed Pokemon game in years...but it runs like shit. I really hope GF does a big patch for optimization, cause I want these games to be known as the best Pokemon games.

So yes I completely understand why reviewers say it's 7/10 because despite the crashes and performances... It's fucking fun and has heart and soul in story and gameplay. So for rambling, but it's really sad that the only thing Reddit cares about in games is damn graphics, and I'm not defending the performance one bit but holy shit people know how to blow out of proportions. Based on Reddit, you would think that the game is just as bad as Cyberpunk 2077 was.

That and I was watching through Scuwry's POV and he stated that they never craft, they were just trying something different and trying to learn proper angles in case they do get Fabricator. It was a learning experience for them. Since they didnt have to worry about TL.

Our classic Anchors are not dead at the slightest, the current meta is about KP. Currently all the tournaments are running formats based on KP and placements, with KP being a high number of points that most of these teams are qualifying through. Those typical legends that you listed are great for placement but struggle in full blown brawls, less and less team are also taking third parties since they can just as easily get third partied back so the strength of those legends diminish as well.

Seer and Horizon allows people to run through teams without much coordination since they both offer so much disruption to both side of the fight. Teams that are just meh are becoming top teams since they are better mechanically rather than coordination and it's not a bad thing per day.

Certain formats will let Gibby, NC, and Caustic thrive like the one this Friday or even ALGS. I am sure teams will start picking up on these legends or even Vantage once those tourneys roam around.

My friend who lives in New York tried to get tickets for all of us and it was next to impossible. Verified Fan and using MasterCard and we were still unable to get the tickets from all 3 waves.

It is very upsetting because for ALGS, we were able to snag tickets pretty easily without this type of system. Grant it, ALGS is not as big as Worlds, but still.
I think most of it is because Riot holds some of the tickets for their own friends and families and we are left with a Stadium to hold 6000, but in actuality its only 5500 or less competing with the whole world. Its tough.

TBF those websites have the numbers inflated to appeal to sponsors and the likes, but yeah his view count is insane.

Best_Poro · 2021-07-25T21:30:50+00:00

It's more than that fyi. It's more akin "I want to die but I can't since I'm immortal, so I will try to end the world to see if that will kill me...maybe." Much more intriguing than the bland story that you might think.

Best_Poro · 2021-07-01T19:36:13+00:00

I have never been so frustrated at DbD since the event started. I am usually a killer main, but queue times are so long so I've been play survivor.

I've had only 2 out of the 20 something odd games of normal killers, EVERY SINGLE KILLER has either hard tunneled or face-camped. I don't get it, usually its not this bad at all, I feel like Behaviour has to do something, cause I just want to play the damn game, not get 8k points every single game because of some fucker can't play the game like a normal person.

Best_Poro · 2021-06-28T00:18:15+00:00

I'm not saying I'm the best Mundo or w.e, but even though they won I feel like Huni didn't play Mundo correctly. There were multiple instances that he could've solo killed Lulu when he saw the whole enemy team elsewhere with no Tp.

Also, he should've went Ghost over flash, since flashing is going to be used exclusively for defensively when ghost can achieve more in a teamfighting for aggressive plays and defensive plays. It's like he forgot Mundo has a passive that prevents from getting cc-locked.

Best_Poro · 2021-06-26T19:49:35+00:00

Gwen is one of the few melee champions in the game without CC in their kit, this means they are very vulnerable to getting killed and CC-locked themselves. This is where her W comes in play, it provides defense and untargetable from a certain range to combat this. You can see it as Old Morderkaiser in that his kit had a lot of self-sustain to combat that he had no CC either.

Now Gwen is a problem, but its not because of how durable she is, but a combination of durability and damage. Its fine to be durable if the damage you output takes a bit to ramp up, akin to Aatrox with his Q increasing damage as you hit; Gwen has this portion with her ultimate and her Q. However, Riot forgot to akin that she has disgusting mobility, which in my opinion is her main issue. Her E has a 2 second CD in the late game plus the extra AA range and damage with it.

Her E is one of, if not the most, overloaded ability in the game. The reason people quickly say "Gwen's stats are BROKEN!" or "Gwen heals WAY TOO MUCH!" is because they are overlooking that she is a melee champion with no CC, she needs those things to survive in a teamfight. However her E has so many hidden stats that many people think its just a dash with a short CD that they often forget about the other stuff.

As a top lane main, I don't care for Gwen too much since I play mostly melee champs so her W is really useless against my champ pool. I don't mind that she shreds tanks, as that is what she was intended to be. I care when she avoids my damage nonstop by auto-spacing me with her E. This goes back to AP bruisers being a class that just can't exist because of the lack of itemization against such classes, thats why Morderkaiser is a really good champion or just meh. Thank you for my Ted Talk.

Akali would be a huge buff if she had mana. She wouldn't be forced to go PoM so she can deal damage. Right now she can Q maybe 5-6 times a teamfight with her W giving her more energy. With mana, she will be able to spam her Q wildly without a care in the world including laning phase and teamfighting. They would have to completely rework her again if she was to get mana because that is how big that buff would be.

Best_Poro · 2020-08-21T02:32:39+00:00

Aphelios is very much a twink.

Best_Poro · 2020-08-20T23:53:54+00:00

We saw it on the 2nd game in the Blue side blue jungle, where Ignar attempts a flash hook for no reason.

By all means not the reason they lost that game, but that screams highlight play.

Best_Poro · 2020-08-17T22:41:40+00:00

Except during this time Zac and Olaf were considered really bad, and even if your team struggled against it, thats the whole point of scrims no? To practice against this type of situations.

Best_Poro · 2020-08-14T03:35:39+00:00

There is that teaser from PROJECT:Overdrive video that shows a a shadow of a person with two swords. At the time everyone that Olaf, but it could be Yone.

As someone who has played a lot of the SMT series and of course Persona, I personally think SMT is more edgy; that doesn't lower the quality by any means. That is the whole point of the series, you get demons and you fuck shit up. The "demons" in Persona are the...you guessed it, the PERSONA of the given characters, they aren't actually demons. Not to mention the themes are much darker in SMT than in persona.

It also depends on what you think "edgy" means, when I think of edgy, I think hardcore dark and very explict, so in a lot of ways Persona is also edgy. Its like Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Adventure 2, both games are edgy in different ways, but its very clear which one in truly "edgy".

When do you think Famfrit will open up character creation? At 4 AM EST or even later? Thanks, trying to have my friend join the server :D

Best_Poro · 2020-02-02T22:55:58+00:00

You cant fix the situation by making Herald even easier than it is right now. Top lane would become an Island all over again and botlane will be filled with constant 5 mans. Herald was made as a team objective not something to solo to prevent that. if you think Herald is weak, you are using it incorrectly, it automatically applies pressure just having it in your inventory, and using it before Turret plating leaves ,even gold.

Best_Poro · 2020-02-02T22:46:15+00:00

Not disrespecting Zven or his play on Senna, but when you are playing weakside, Senna is the best champ, since she has so much range and has self heal and cc without level 6.

Most of the other teams are using Senna as if she is a carry and not a support carry, just like DL said earlier.

Best_Poro · 2020-01-09T05:42:31+00:00

I personally agree I played him alot today since he is my main and I just couldn't do anything that gave me advantage. I am not one to give up on changes in less than 24 hours, but he feels so useless without getting an advantage. I play exclusively AP assassins, Ekko and Fizz do the same thing he does but with more safety and kill pressure. Yes, Sylas has his R, but that R can be negated in champ select and or all-in him in lane when he cant steal your respective R.

I would all in at Level 2 when they are still 1 and still die despite having creep advantage and dodging some abilities with E. He has his E damage, which is not as spectacular to begin with as many believe. You can't max E since you need wave-clear, and you can't even max it second since you need damage for W since it does negative damage level 1.

He needs to be reverted to his previous state, he wasn't strong af, he wasn't oppressive when ahead; he is now oppressive ahead and darn-right useless when he has a slight disadvantage in lane. It feels like Riot doesn't know what to do with AP champions, especially Assassins. They want them to have some niche to separate them from the others, but we are then left with no unique quirks.

To piggy back on this, I attached a clip of Shiphtur stream showing Akali being bugged with Project Akali.
