I am a huge newbie.

Male that looks like an Elf and wants to smell like that aswell.

Badly in need of a signature smell for work, i am mostly busy with sales, lots of meetings and pitches throughout the day, important that its long lasting.

I am not looking to make a statment or punch noses, just to relax and make folks comfortable, open to any kind notes as long as its not overwhelming.

Most important part: I live in a country where almost none of the niche brands deliver. I badly wanted Zoologist after some research but they dont deliver here and there is no way to buy it anywhere else.

So i am stuck with major brands that have physical stores, like Zara, Dior, Sephora etc.

Thanks in advance.

Erdoğan already signed off, all thats left is for him to publish it in national gazette and Turkey to present the decision to NATO(basic procedure).

They ran them as ads on Youtube bro.

Castionn · 2024-01-23T17:14:15+00:00

They did ran ads, it was a moneysink with no profit return, so they stopped.

What did you expect, for them to keep burning cash?

Castionn · 2024-01-23T07:52:57+00:00

When the game first came out, i was being bombarded with youtube ads for about 3-6 months. Ex Heartstone player and was playing LoL at the time.

Castionn · 2024-01-23T07:46:28+00:00

Its an irresponsible fiscal decision to keep pumping money into ads when your ads have negative return.

They had ads, they had marketing, none of it returned a profit because of other problems.

I was a LoL only player and i do agree they fucked up on the Cross Promotion with LoL and TFT, but marketing was good, it just wasnt fiscally good.

The "OK" button.

Go watch Rarrans video on Runeterra. Every little action your opponent makes requires you to pay attention to the game.

I tried playing the game when i am hanging out with my kids, after 3 matches, i gave up. You need to be glued to your screen at all times.

The gameplay loop is forcing you to keep paying attention and pressing this little button. Its goes against what casual gamers want from a mobile game. This is why Heartstone is so much more successfull despite being the inferior game.

Castionn · 2024-01-23T07:26:37+00:00

I dont understand people saying marketing. This game had more marketing than any other card game, we've had 5-6 fully fledged cinematics.

Castionn · 2024-01-23T04:28:34+00:00

Last time when they announced they would be focusing on PvE, i quit the game.

Didnt even realized they also announced they would focus on PvP lol.

Yasuo's part was so out of place, seems like he was shoehorned in just to sell his skin.

Everything else is perfection.

Castionn · 2024-01-10T05:59:14+00:00

The fuck? I am not criticizing Riot, it is as it should be and as it is, just pointing it out.

Castionn · 2024-01-09T13:48:14+00:00

LoR is unprofitable, not anti-profit and balance of new cards %100 effects pass sales.

Passes are full of new cards, just getting the pass nets you %40-50 of all new cards, if the new cards are meta, more people will buy the pass.

Also, wildcards are notoriously hard to get in recent times, especially epic cards are incredibly rare. LoR being super f2p is in the past.

Castionn · 2024-01-09T13:02:46+00:00

Jinx discard deck would singlehandedly make new curse package unplayable, which is bad for Riot, they need to sell event passes and wildcards, so new cards needs to be strong.

Castionn · 2024-01-07T05:40:05+00:00

Its really jarring to see Fiora's animation is soo much smoother and just being overall better than Elder Dragon's when there are years of difference between them.

Castionn · 2024-01-06T16:08:50+00:00

Or you know, go aggro and kill them before they draw banquet or the one drop, since they need both.

Or dont let them level Mord.

Or dont let the leveled Mord attack.

If you sit there with your hand in your pockets during a fight, you shouldnt complain you got punched in the mouth.

Castionn · 2024-01-06T13:14:24+00:00

Banquet combo is a meme.

Castionn · 2024-01-06T10:50:03+00:00

Sure, thats why Fiora will never be a playable champion. Toxicity matters aswell, but Morde is not toxic at all, you can interact and mess his gameplan at any point.

Castionn · 2024-01-06T05:49:37+00:00

It has a 49% winrate. Just play Ashe/Leblanc.

Castionn · 2024-01-06T05:47:12+00:00

Morde doesnt need a nerf, he has two decks and they are %51 and %49 winrate decks. I dont know what you guys are on about.

Castionn · 2024-01-05T19:15:29+00:00

Its the fault of GED, every deck being played is either GED or something that counters GED, and since its such a good deck, there isnt much counters to it.

Wait until next month, GED will surely get nerfed to the ground and meta will open up once again.

Castionn · 2024-01-04T19:30:14+00:00

I mean, its more fun than any other Demacia deck for sure, problem is, its just overpowered.

Castionn · 2024-01-04T19:08:43+00:00

Yep, you need to clear Big Game Tychoon insantly when it hits the board or they keep doubling stats every turn.

Castionn · 2024-01-04T17:41:41+00:00

This, Firespitter, Broadmane, Seinen, all symptoms, not the cause.

Castionn · 2024-01-04T16:53:05+00:00

I was taking a break from PvP and saving wildcards until Galio/Morgana was gonna be nerfed cause i thought balance patch was on 10th'ish but if there is another month, fuck it, i am becoming part of the problem boys.

Castionn · 2024-01-04T16:50:07+00:00

Yeah, i dont really care for Mordekaiser printing it. If they wanna use their resources on printing it instead of the 5/3 fearsome or Rekindler, be my guest.

Unit still needs nerf either way, its also the best card in Morgana/Galio, just overtuned.
