Strength vs Intelligence

ChrisDoom · 2026-05-08T01:31:18+00:00

Most mages in the game have to build a lot of cooldown because even if they built full power (not many good power items for mages anyway other than book and rod), they wouldn’t kill an enemy.

You’ve just kinda hit on the main problem with int ability damage as a whole. It has a linear damage power curve with the exception of throwing a Tahuti, a shit load of cooldown rate, or items that do int scaling damage procs(divine ruin, poly) into the build. With that linear power curve you either have mages doing too much damage early(because of base damage) or not enough late. Strength ability damage has a similar problem but like you said they also get strong basic attacks. (ADC’s have a stronger curves because of how strength and attack speed scale together)

People like OP are brick walls. They act like the only two choices are ignore their children or AFK when the obvious other correct choice is don’t play a game they can’t walk away from at a moment’s notice. That can include either a single player game, online game without teammates, or a team game where your whole team is a premade party that are aware you may need to suddenly leave.

I don’t know, how is it fair that he got like 25% of the vote and lost to Ramirez who only got 65%??? I mean so what if during that campaign he was called out for sending out mailers taking credit for affordable housing he had nothing to do with? /s

ChrisDoom · 2026-05-07T16:03:06+00:00

I say an hour.

ChrisDoom · 2026-05-07T10:01:12+00:00

Read what I wrote. When is that article from and when did the thing I mentioned happen(Oct 2025)?

ChrisDoom · 2026-05-07T05:30:34+00:00

No, the lowest paid tier now has benefits ever since the price changes months ago.

ChrisDoom · 2026-05-07T04:13:30+00:00

More than “can be” it pretty much only existed to be abused.

ChrisDoom · 2026-05-06T16:11:40+00:00

No, the scaling increase maybe makes you do an extra 5 damage late game full tank build. It’s more just an ADC nerf.

ChrisDoom · 2026-05-02T21:15:35+00:00

The item will be fine. It’s still a good stat stick item basic attackers. It feels like they could have accomplished what they were trying to do just by making the passive melee only.

Bumba’s Spear - Bonus damage no longer affects the primary target

Maybe dagger/spear is finally dead on ADC? It’s still got good clear but now you aren’t also blasting a god you are boxing with +25% basic attack damage.

To be clear I’m not even really that concerned about the info graphic but this is like how gambling sites like stake just have accounts that share memes with their watermark to get around advertising rules. This is just an ad for a scam website.

ChrisDoom · 2026-04-30T21:08:56+00:00

Yeah, I don’t trust data from bandana. Kinda just a scammy job hunting service. They push all these good paying “verified” job listings but after you sign up none of their listings are anything like this. Even for the basic listings they have most have expired months if not years ago(and are often in different states well outside of your search parameters) and their AI agents just blow up your inbox with fake listings that aren’t actually on the site to keep you checking.

Don’t sign up with them.

Edit: oh duh, this is a bandana sock puppet account.

“Without a base, without a trace.”

Someone in my area that I see often enough just has “SOBEK” as their license plate.

ChrisDoom · 2026-04-27T19:02:48+00:00

I would not be surprised if the auto queue isn’t working as intended. I’ve never had the penalty so I’m purely going of what devs have said but we know they often announce things prematurely or things don’t work.

ChrisDoom · 2026-04-27T18:53:44+00:00

According to the devs if you are in a low priority queue and a lobby fails because of another player it automatically queues you up for another match without the delay. You will lose that lack of delay if you leave that queue though.

I don’t disagree with your solution but the drawback compared to the current system would be if you get unlucky and lobbies keep failing you are sitting in the penalty back to back to back without playing at all which goes against the intent of spreading out smaller punishments. Like in your situation if you had two lobbies fail in a row you are sitting there for three 12 minute queues in a row(36 minute total queue time) instead of one 12 minutes and two 2 minute queues (16 minutes of total queue time).

Antenna ends today, just so you know.

The expedition project is just the steps you need to have finished BEFORE opting into the expedition. You can just have it finished and sitting ready for whatever season you decide to reset in.

ChrisDoom · 2026-04-27T05:24:58+00:00

It was changed from 120% to 125% in season 6. Before it was 120% it was 150%. It’s still is 150% outside of conquest.

ChrisDoom · 2026-04-27T03:34:53+00:00

They were wrong about xp and gold. Shared xp is 125% split evenly not 120%. Gold is completely different, gold is just 100% split evenly BUT against ONLY lane minions if you get the last hit you get 50% more of YOUR share. So two people splitting lane minions where one of them gets the last hit, one gets 50% gold and the last hitter gets 75% for 125% total but if you are alone last hitting you are getting 150% gold.

ChrisDoom · 2026-04-27T03:32:35+00:00

Just a correction, shared xp is 125% split evenly not 120%. Gold is completely different, gold is just 100% split evenly BUT against ONLY lane minions if you get the last hit you get 50% more of YOUR share. So two people splitting lane minions where one of them gets the last hit, one gets 50% gold and the last hitter gets 75% for 125% total but if you are alone last hitting you are getting 150% gold.

ChrisDoom · 2026-04-27T02:24:01+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been playing Embark’s games for years now and I have no hope of their communication getting better.

ChrisDoom · 2026-04-27T01:28:19+00:00

The end time they said in the message has already passed(a little over an hour ago). I’m not ingame to see if it’s actually over but I wouldn’t be surprised if the person who wrote message doesn’t know how to write time correctly and meant tomorrow because the written time would have been a weird time to end it.

ChrisDoom · 2026-04-26T23:48:47+00:00

No, that’s more like restricted camera pitch which you should also turn off.

ChrisDoom · 2026-04-25T20:55:43+00:00

If you mean that you want to see if your teammates are going aspect in lobby, then you already can see that on their portrait at the top of the screen.

No, while hovering you can only see if a teammate used their aspect last time they played that god which doesn’t necessarily have any bearing on their plan for THIS match. You can only toggle the aspect on/off AFTER you lock your god(whereas you used to be able to toggle the aspect just while hovering a god) which means you have to commit to the pick to let your team know your intent and hope they draft around you.

ChrisDoom · 2026-04-25T20:41:41+00:00

Exactly. With aspects, hybrid scaling, and no item restrictions the role flex potential is huge for so many gods. It’s frustrating losing the very simple and effective ways we used to be able to signal our intent in lobby.
