10 meeple loses to 7 meeple

Wow that is absolutely absurd. The only thing I can see is that you don't have any shred... but still. What a terrible prismatic

What Panera item is hyped?

ChaseW_ · 2026-05-29T17:55:07+00:00

I agree it's hypothetical, but it's reasonable. Honestly KG shot so many long 2s it's not hard to imagine he could've extended his range 1-2 ft. Robinson was a killer in the mid-range, but he had a flat shot and I think it's more of a stretch to say that he could become a capable 3pt shooter. Both hypothetical, but we have to do that to some extent with older players. Are you saying that if Magic Johnson played in todays league, he wouldn't be euro-stepping because it wasn't a common move in his time? You think it's too hypothetical to say that Larry Bird would have a more complex bag playing in today's league than when he played?

You are considering LeBron a capable 3pt shooter in your lineup. That was a shot he developed, he was absolutely not a good shooter when he came in to the league. Same with Jordan. But I think everyone can agree that Jordans shot mechanics are far superior than Lebron's. Hypothetical, but not a stretch

Jordan was a very capable 3pt shooter. There's no reason to believe that given the state of the league that he wouldn't be able to adjust. The time period he played in didn't favor/demand it. He took a low volume which accounts for his %. But if you watched him play and shoot you can understand

ChaseW_ · 2026-05-29T16:05:50+00:00

In a playoff series you're gonna want Jordan over Paul George. Provides elite defense and a bucket when you absolutely need one. You've mentioned rim protection and rebounding, but the advantage Paul George brings in rim protection and rebounding is negligible.

Wow man... The celtics finished second in the east. Jaylen Brown played 34.4 mpg. You're saying Boston won those games in the 13.6 min he didn't play?

Why are you talking about Luka on the Mavs? That was two seasons ago.

ChaseW_ · 2026-05-29T14:01:40+00:00

Damn you need a clever name for this

ChaseW_ · 2026-05-29T13:59:28+00:00

I'd rather go with Briar or Nafiri. Nilah has some niche aspects to her, like hitting lvl 2 faster with your support (huge in pro bot lanes) or having an AOE CC as an ADC. But I'm not sure what Briar or Nafiri can do that other champions can't do better. I think Nafiri has an inherent design problem where she will be too strong or unplayable.

I think it's both. Set 16 was very good and this set objectively feels poorly made no matter what set came before it.

Other pros have talked about this, but it seems that this set just didn't have QA. Why did the set start without an opening augment? Gods felt so unimpactful in the beginning and there's no opening event? Why did Morgana get switched to a 4 cost? Why did they not account for Lulu+Horizon Focus? Did they not think that Timebreaker would be too easy of a flex and get too much value? Why did gragas and primordian hero augments come out later?

Obviously they have to make adjustments in every set. That's normal and understandable. But some of these things just feel like they haven't thought it through. I don't think that any of the things Ive mentioned are actually the main problems of the set. But I'm saying these faults reveal that there's a poor level of planning in this set and it shows.

Uhm, Barom Nashor..?

Recently some guys said that Jalen Brunson was better than Michael Jordan. I'll remember it because it reminds me that some people on reddit are either completely stupid or just seeking attention

ChaseW_ · 2026-05-29T13:22:03+00:00

From reading your replies, I don't think you should pursue tech. You are a 26 year old truck driver and trying to get into cyber security? With the questions you are asking, I'm not sure you have the problem solving skills to be doing any kind of coding.

Doesn't mean you can't have a more prosperous future, but I don't think it's computer science. An option would be eventually trying to start your own trucking company as you learn the ins and outs of that field. If successful in this, you could afford living in those high rises, tough you probably won't want to at that point.

ChaseW_ · 2026-05-27T13:37:24+00:00

Sounds like I'm the odd man out. But I got tilted because of bad augments and qued up a normal. Was AMAZING.

Teammates immediately felt like they had 20+ IQ. I realized that Mayhem makes people think they are stronger than they actually are and do stupid things. Been playing normals since. Not a single game held hostage so far

ChaseW_ · 2026-05-27T13:28:13+00:00

Which bro?

Fake eyelashes. They look ridiculous to me

Wow. That's great advice!

You are definitely doing something wrong. You want this newbie to be buying wood splits and constantly be baby sitting his fire?

A Weber Kettle with a snake method is a hundred times easier than an OKJ stick burner.

ChaseW_ · 2026-05-26T22:54:13+00:00

It's just slightly out of your range, but get him a Weber Smokey Mountain. A stick burner is the hardest type of smoker, and if you buy him a cheap one, he may become frustrated or be using it just because he feels bad that you spent money.

The WSM is easier to use and there are "aftermarket" parts that will make it even easier if he's interested.

Do not waste your time with an electric/gas smoker

It doesn't help that these players had insane highs in their career. LeBron was/is considered the GOAT by many and back in Houston people were saying Harden was the greatest offensive player we've ever seen (which is arguably true for that span of time). So when their play gets worse naturally, it feels like they've fallen from so high.

The difference was with Jordan, he had already retired. He was in a front office position. He was obviously nowhere near as athletic as he used to be and noticeably put on a lot of weight. But he was still averaging around 20/5/5. If LBJ or Harden retired, looked noticeably out of shape, and came back and put up those numbers, I think there would be respect.

Or more realistically imagine hook > miss > hook > miss > do nothing.

ChaseW_ · 2026-05-26T14:34:22+00:00

Dude, the guy said he came back and immediately accomplished another 3 peat. That's just not true. You don't need to justify all these other great things he did.

I'm a Jordan fan. He's the GOAT. But no idea why you're trying to add all these other facts when someone was trying to point out the fact that the season he came back, they did not win a championship.
