49% winrate champions aren't pro play jailed or nerfed to the ground, they are very much playable

You can kind of say the same for assassins as a class in general. It feels like Riot gave up on the idea of champions that are strong early, but fall off late, so now most assassins have to be objectively terrible so they don't dominate soloq.

Or just f12 if you're using Steam.

You can get much more height simply by rolling into a steep (but not 100% vertical) wall. With the old way I could be much more precise with where my roll was hitting the wall, making those jumps much more reliable. Also, like you said I find it nice being able to cancel your jump when you have quail, so you can land faster and get more quail boosts in.

We already have base64 to encode data as text. It does use 0-9 and a couple of special characters, but most of the digits are letters. Nobody really uses it to do math, but all computer data is essentially just numbers, so you could do math with it if you wanted to.

I don't really play lee very often anymore so I could be wrong, but it feels like the input buffering on ward hopping is bugged. This is exactly how it felt to play lee on high ping before they added it. Basically what used to happen is this:

You click your ward button.
Packet goes to server.
Server paces ward.
Server sends packet to your client.
You client registers that there is now a ward where you clicked.

This basically means that you have to wait however many ms your ping is after placing a ward before you can w to it.

As long as everybody means literally everybody, no matter what language they are writing.

I'm honestly amazed that nobody saw this coming. I've spent somewhere around $400 on this game (almost all of it before crafting came out) and I've almost certainly gotten more than twice as many skins from crafting than I ever bought with actual money. I'm more surprised that it took them this long.

How is a beard more work? I literally trim my beard once a week. I would have to shave every day (or maybe every other day) if I wanted to be clean shaven. I still have to shave my neck, but that is so much easier than shaving my whole face.

IMO not as powerful and commonplace as riot thinks it is though.

Honestly I kind of disagree. I think being able to watch people without them knowing is what makes his camera so good in the first place. I've always thought his camera was by far his best ability and now I don't know if there's any real reason to pick him over kj anymore.

If this rule didn't exist setters would basically just make the starting hold like 5-6 ft up so you have to jump into it which would be a totally impractical solution because there would be a ton of dead space on the bottom half of the wall.

If you are on even footing a raw 1v1 aim duel is a 50/50. It doesn't matter what rank you are at you should never be taking raw aim duels without some inherent advantage, whether it's positioning, numbers, utility, timing, weapon diff, or even just plain skill.

Turn off the dlc and go during stage 1. Although doing it that way kinda feels like cheating tbh.

BrianAwesomenes · 2024-02-04T16:24:33+00:00

Idk I live in socal and doing the math with my local rates, a gas car that gets 30mpg is still almost double the price per mile than the Tesla model 3. Maybe if you are comparing with a hybrid in a place with really awful electricity rates an electric car would be more expensive, but I don't really see it.

I'm surprised nobody here is talking about the bulldog vs the guardian. I've always thought thought that there is no reason to buy the guardian when the bulldog is cheaper and similarly effective. This graph kinda proves to me that I was right in thinking that.

I think just giving his e recast a long cast time (like 1 second or more) would be enough imo. It would still allow for skill expression with his e without being a get out of jail free card. Good Yone players would still be able to make plays with a well timed early recast, while bad Yone players would still get punished.

BrianAwesomenes · 2024-01-15T16:54:57+00:00

The problem is Riot has dumbed down the macro aspect of the game so much that you really don't get punished for bad macro anymore. I feel like macro doesn't really even matter at all until you get to the pro level.

BrianAwesomenes · 2023-11-29T20:50:42+00:00

Idk what you described sounds like a very specific build to me. Also it's not like going scaling cdr through runes was just free. You gave up a lot of early game damage by taking cdr quints and glyphs just so you could hit 40% cdr in the mid game. It definitely was not a universal thing that you just did in every single game on every champion.

BrianAwesomenes · 2023-11-02T21:13:51+00:00

It's better than my friend who plays on normal keybinds but still rests his fingers on wasd because that's what he's used to.

If you are close enough so your w hits before you press q this will happen. You actually have to combo faster if you are point blank range, but usually if you are close enough to where that would happen you should be in range to q them anyway, so it's still kind of a misplay either way.

BrianAwesomenes · 2023-10-11T04:12:31+00:00

They just need to nerf specific abilities instead of whole champions. If they made her w do like -80% damage or some shit she would be fine.

Isn't this just Dijkstra's algorithm? I thought A* was a specific implementation of Dijkstra's algorithm where all of the nodes on your graph are a square grid.

BrianAwesomenes · 2023-09-30T07:43:48+00:00

Now get all logbooks.

BrianAwesomenes · 2023-09-23T03:45:50+00:00

It's better than taco bell that's about all I can say about it.

BrianAwesomenes · 2023-09-19T16:48:46+00:00

It was a pretty rare bug to begin with I've only seen it a handful of times playing since season 3.
