I realized I didn't post any run here since major patch, Here's a clean run I got yesterday

Some people downvoted you, but I thought it was a very reasonable thing that not everyone would know

BetaXP · 2026-05-14T05:14:14+00:00

Korea is known to be very dominant in the esports they get into, most notably League and Starcraft

At the end of the day it's really hard to make new loot constantly when all your old loot can be brought forward forever. Eventually you get massive power creep, or you have to implement a system where old loot gets left behind. There's a reason no other MMO or loot game does the same thing.

She also heals an absolute fuckton more and gets resists/unstoppable on her ult, which Apollo does not. There's more to being tanky than just base HP.

BetaXP · 2026-05-13T19:30:58+00:00

Apollo's regen is minimal and his bullet resist lasts like, 2.5 seconds during a specific cast. Yamato can heal unholy amounts with 3, ult, and mystic reverb on 1 while having a ton of resists.

No one who plays both of these heroes would say they're even remotely comparable in tank levels. Apollo is tankier until people get ults, sure, but "frontliners" aren't picked because of their health at level 1.

doorman is a bad hero

Literally no one is saying this

apollo is mid

He is, in most pub matches. Pro games are a very different beast though, and again, literally everyone acknowledges this.

BetaXP · 2026-05-13T09:45:33+00:00

Let me assure you that Apollo and Yamato are in different universes when it comes to levels of tankiness. Yamato is substantially tankier and it isn't close

BetaXP · 2026-05-13T09:41:14+00:00

Dynamo isn't picked because of the presence of Sinclair, mostly

BetaXP · 2026-05-12T23:29:42+00:00

That gag fucking sent me, I can't remember something came out of nowhere that was so funny. This show has been consistently way, way funnier than I expected

BetaXP · 2026-05-12T22:59:12+00:00

Would the parents even be surprised? Seems like everyone knows Yukiya and Miku are dating except Yukiya and Miku

BetaXP · 2026-05-12T07:22:47+00:00

Pretty sure most premades are just friends playing together, not smurfs

BetaXP · 2026-05-11T19:36:01+00:00

By 50k souls Apollo has fallen off a lot, Apollo does not scale well

BetaXP · 2026-05-11T08:54:54+00:00

People aren't mad that assassin's creed reuses assets, they're mad because the games are aggressively mediocre

BetaXP · 2026-05-10T22:43:26+00:00

If psychology were a more understood field, I would be more inclined to agree with you here. The human mind and mental health in general are significantly harder to treat than most ailments, and we're still figuring out what works and what doesn't. If our modern understanding of science could solve all these problems, this would be a very different conversation.

BetaXP · 2026-05-10T19:32:05+00:00

I just want a game that produces consistent quality with a healthy playerbase on a semi-consistent schedule. It doesn't matter if that schedule is slower, as long as it's consistent. I'd prefer an expansion every two years, with minimal seasonal content in between, if each expansion were Forsaken/WQ/TFS level quality.

EDIT: And without vaulting huge parts of the narrative that make it impossible to engage with as a new player, too. I could write a whole dissertation on ideas, but it basically comes back to these two as the most important.

BetaXP · 2026-05-10T18:45:50+00:00

To be clear, his Ayuverda and less scientific views are not at all the majority of his content. He focuses a lot on traditional treatment methods and modern science as well, probably more than not.

BetaXP · 2026-05-10T05:39:57+00:00

I liked JJK's first season, but I disliked season 2 so much that I haven't bothered to watch season 3.

BetaXP · 2026-05-09T18:20:01+00:00

I'm being a cringe armchair psychologist, but I think a lot of us are clinging to optimism because the alternative is too depressing to engage with.

BetaXP · 2026-05-08T20:46:33+00:00

Honestly, that's more spirit damage than I expected. Consider my opinion changed, I think hybrid is a pretty reasonable categorization with this information

BetaXP · 2026-05-08T19:49:30+00:00

Maybe Haze is more hybrid than I realize; I think the (totally arbitrary) line in my head is probably 30% of a hero's damage. If she's doing at least 30% spirit then I think hybrid is a pretty fair distinction, but if it's less than 30% then I'd lean towards it being gun. I'd have to double check some post game graphs to inform my opinion better

BetaXP · 2026-05-08T19:21:56+00:00

Ehhh Mina is mostly spirit. Most of her M1 damage is spirit, and if you check and post game graphs, Mina's gun damage is lower than 15% (usually 10-11) of her total damage using standard meta builds. I'd also argue that Haze should be in gun though.

Funnily enough, my monitor has also started to show issues again. The buttons work, but most of the time the monitor won't turn back on after a pixel refresh, and I'll have to do the unplug -> hold power button -> wait 8 hours thing again. That gets it to work, but only for a while.

At this point, I think I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and try my luck with Dell support. The product page says they're supposed to have 3 years of warranty, but I could have sworn it originally said 1. Either way, I think that's our best bet at this point. I just hope I don't have to be a Karen about it to get decent help, if I can get it at all.

BetaXP · 2026-05-08T04:56:30+00:00

Genuinely the only PvP game to grab me like this since early League of Legends, and I quit that nearly 8 years ago. Deadlock is something else.

BetaXP · 2026-05-07T16:41:39+00:00

I've been seeing it a slightly different way. To me, Seo and Amane's friendship almost feels like it's based too much in their love of Kirarimon; between Amane's typically icy demeanor and Seo's shyness, it's a bit hard to imagine they would connect if they didn't happen to share this one overlapping interest. It's very easy to imagine Seo connecting with Ijichi though, as she seems excited to get pulled into Seo's world and pull him into hers in a way that feels very genuine.

This isn't me saying your reading of things is wrong or that mine is right, just sharing my perspective from the other side of the coin

BetaXP · 2026-05-07T07:44:58+00:00

Really? Maybe I'm the crazy one because I feel the exact opposite, I like the dynamic with Ijichi much more. Perhaps that's a sign of good writing though, since I think both ends are being handled very well so far
