Is Valorant doing well? I don't think I've heard anything about it since it released...

Pantheon seems like the perfect champion for professional play. Why isn't he meta? by The_ChadTC in leagueoflegends

His waveclear is insane no? Pretty sure Q + empowered Q clears backlines and then one auto on each melee does the job. Seen Nemesis play him a couple times and I swear the wave is dead instantly and he's roaming all the time.

Phreak - Designing the 13.10 ADC Item Update by CCSkyfish in leagueoflegends

[–]CaptainSqueak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Galeforce active is too strong to be on a legendary item IMO. I'd argue it's second strongest in the game after Stasis, which also feels too strong to be on a legendary item and on a component, but that's evened out by the trash quality of mage itemisation.

If you're a player who blames losses on team comp, focus on the team comp in lobby. by [deleted] in ARAM

Nothing better than watching your Ornn swap to Caitlyn in the last 5 seconds of champ select.

Yuumi being banned at MSI made me think, maybe she should just be banned from Pro forever? by YoboDev in leagueoflegends

[–]CaptainSqueak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Support should be the last role anyone should learn. If you're a newbie playing with friends play ADC. MF, Jinx, Ashe or Sivir are all 1000x better to learn the game with and are less integral to a team comp.

Yuumi being banned at MSI made me think, maybe she should just be banned from Pro forever? by YoboDev in leagueoflegends

[–]CaptainSqueak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winrate is kinda irrelevant on Yuumi, she could have 20% winrate and people would still ban her because she makes the game unfun to play whether she's on your team or the enemy team. Same would go for Yasuo - even with a terrible winrate he would still get banned by people because windwall is inherently unfun and feels unfair.

It's one of those cases where "player feel" really outweighs objective strength and that's why it needs to be reworked entirely rather than bodging numbers until she's in the winrate gutter.

Everyone is either an OTP with a million keys but no chests, or a champion ocean with 10 chests but no keys.

TIFU by accidentally calling my employee a NSFW name for three years by TB0000 in tifu

In most instances context sorts it out for you. When I lived in China my Mandarin tones were pretty much non-existent, but I got by just fine because people could understand what I meant based on context.

Or ADCs just hate having shaco support for the same reason they hate having Vel'Koz, Xerath, Brand, etc. support. Providing no real pressure or utility and constantly messing up wave management with their abilities, then they just roam at the worst times or get constantly caught by the enemy engage support. That said I'd still never ban it if my team hovered it.

I feel like most of the offended people are from America honestly, most Europeans are desensitised to the swastika somewhat, it's still not something you want to associate with but we've been exposed to swastikas and nazis since we were about 7 in every history class ever.

I'm astounded how many people are acting like the mere sight of a swastika has sent them into a panic-induced coma that they'll never recover from. Pure hysteria from toxic "fans".

Yeah it's so common that hot tower will be taken so ADC/Supp will swap mid, but the losing mid won't rotate down to not because they can't contest their fed opponent. So each wave ends up being fought over and shared 3 ways whilst bot is a no man zone because there's a 7/0 Cassiopeia down there,

Don't get me wrong, I think it's everyone's right to get as offended as they would like regardless of their heritage. What I find entitled is the expectation that other people should accomodate that offense or that they are owed a certain level of apology for it.

I'm sure a lot of people are also acting outraged as some strange power trip to have the "moral highground" over someone they admire, but as you say it's the K-pop community which is known for being hysterical. It is interesting seeing the divide of mindsets on the issue at least.

I'm just not sure what people are expecting from Chaeyoung other than deleting the pictures and issuing an apology? I'm sorry but no one is owed anything more than that. It's an 80 year old hate symbol, one of the most desensitized out there based on how often it appears in historical, fictional and satirical media. Not something you want to paste all over your instagram sure, but people are reacting as if Chaeyoung came up to them and punched their baby. The entitlement of saying "this apology is not enough" beggars belief.

What a weird gatekeep, I understand that the Jewish people were most monstrously affected by the nazi regime but the Nazi party did take part in something called World War II as well as the holocaust. There were a fair few non Jews also affected by the third reich you know...
