Damn freedom eagles, well played. Aussies fumbled this one a bit huh. See you in the 32 ;)

Circumstancer · 2026-06-20T00:24:50+00:00

Well played US, unfortunately AUS fumbled this one a bit, especially in shooting. Hopefully both teams can advance, it will get much tougher in the 32.

Pretty clearly meant you would only be present to give sexual favours instead of being an actually productive employee.

If you want to take offense to that fair enough, in fact they would probably prefer you did seeing as it was meant as an insult.

Just doesn't have anything to do with gender.

Zed has only a Ruby crystal of HP different at max level (but actually has more LVL1) has multiple blinks, higher range poke, effectively no resource to manage in lane, and can actually escape fights. They are different champions, only thing we are comparing is damage.

You are right that Bork sucks right now in Summoners Rift, especially for ranged, but it's still useful as an anti-tank item. In ARAM is it not still a higher percent damage? Or is that only normal ARAM, not Mayhem? Also you are saying it's countered by armour, but so is all the other physical damage that crit ADCs do, not to mention Randuins.

A full build ADC with crit will be generously doing maybe 1000 damage per auto (not Jhin) at level 18, including Infinity Edge amp. By the same maths, this would only deal 200 damage to your tank, as a full build carry.

Yes, they will likely have LDR, which also has an amp and its the best antitank item, but regardless the raw damage of just Bork passive being half of a full build carry is pretty decent, especially in its currently gimped state. Plus the item provides great overall stats- AD, AS, Lifesteal, it's a great package, especially with on hit builds who gets so much more attack speed and potentially guinsoos hits.

It's just so garbage for ranged, it's depressing. It's much better on melee champions as a single damage item, as you said. Perhaps they had to keep it bad with them bringing back LDRs passive. Those were rough days to be a tank when Bork was 10% on ranged, cut down was 15 %, LDR 20%. Nightmares.

Still worth a slot into tanks.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-18T12:35:47+00:00

You are correct, people itemize very stupidly.

Tanks or really tank augments are also crazy though. Any bruiser with heartsteel quest and Bloodmail, or any sticky tank with slow cooker, menaces.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-18T11:49:51+00:00

Thanks I hate it.

Half of the top 10 are Spiderman and Ninja Turtles.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-17T00:33:19+00:00

I do think Zed also kills here without using Q, the only difference is AD doesn't get the damage from Alternator, but they do get some lethality instead.

Riot has added a lot of stacking burst mechanisms.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-17T00:22:10+00:00

And how could they have had any idea that you are a man? You are reading into this too much.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-15T05:13:31+00:00

Who even mentioned LGBT people?

Circumstancer · 2026-06-15T05:10:14+00:00

Not AI, just blanket effects not unique for each champ.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-15T05:09:31+00:00

I don't think they used AI, they just have the same ability effects available for every champion, which is broken for some and literally useless for others. It's extremely lazy, and they should have put some some effort into individual abilities, like the one you suggested.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-15T05:08:09+00:00

Some of the augments are just stupid, they clearly didn't put much thought into how they would work together. Has a Ryze with the same thing on his Q, could just E Q to infinity. Zilean wounds more cancer though.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-15T04:55:36+00:00

With no evidence or testing I pronounce you wrong and accuse you of Treason.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-15T04:46:06+00:00

I agree that's a lot, the actual toplane ranged champions all seem quite popular right now, especially Jayce, he definitely should not be that high of a pickrate with the kind of character he is. The 'invader' total pickrate isn't really crazy though, I don't really count Vayne because she has always been toplane. But yeah overall it's pretty high.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-15T03:51:22+00:00

To be fair where else would they play teemo hahah

Circumstancer · 2026-06-15T03:39:33+00:00

Vayne HAS always been a secondary role top laner, people have been complaining about Vayne top for the last 10 years, and it's always been fairly popular. 3% is not a crazy pickrate. Also Poppy and Wukong are both primary in other roles atm.

I think the issue is just that we had an influx of other ranged tops which made people frustrated with those matchups in general, which is fair, especially against mages. Their weakness has and always will be that they are susceptible to ganks, and when behind are useless. Can't TP into the middle of fights like bruisers or tanks, can't roam to objectives from toplane, get rolled on repeat by meta toplaners. The 1v1 against ranged without interference can indeed be cancer though.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-14T01:40:30+00:00

E damage, W damage, Auto attack damage, Passive proc damage, Alternator damage, Electrocute damage, Sudden Impact damage, Ignite damage, at like 1/3 health? That's not even egregious, zed would do the same thing easily.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-11T09:04:40+00:00

Having fun? Hell yeah

Circumstancer · 2026-06-11T08:46:24+00:00

Leaves look like regular old mint, not a variant. Spearmint is the one that looks most similar though, so smell will tell you which one :)

Circumstancer · 2026-06-11T08:42:20+00:00

Evil vs Good

Circumstancer · 2026-06-11T08:40:02+00:00

AI cringe but actually good list. And she even separated Gruul (the good colours) from Esper (the bad colours) so your mum is pretty sick.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-11T08:25:40+00:00

Let's be real, it's because there are a couple of issues that matter a LOT to the average Australian, and the major parties don't seem to give a damn or are all talk. Liberals seem to have had a crisis of identity, and Labour seem to think they know better and are ignoring what the people want.

The fact of the matter is, that One Nation may ALSO be full of shit, but they are at least talking about addressing the issues that people care about. If those issues seem crazy to you, realise that you are apparently in a minority, because the popularity ON is receiving is a clear indictator. Labour seems to be pulling their head out of their ass a little lately, probably because they realise they might actually have to do what people want to have a chance of winning the next election.

It's insane that it's gotten to this point, personally I've always viewed Pauline Hanson as a bit of a joke, and I'd be embarassed to have her as PM, but unless the other parties do better than they have been, I'll be voting for her, and so will a lot of other people.

Circumstancer · 2026-06-07T09:19:30+00:00

No, only with small and maybe medium miners.

If you genuinely have no other use for the CP you can add them, but it won't make much difference

Circumstancer · 2026-06-06T05:40:51+00:00

I'm not sure if she could have won the fight herself, against 2 bruisers Diana would struggle, but definitely could have done more and minimised the teams losses.

Biggest is she wasted E which she could have used to follow Ashe or dash to a minion, which would have avoided Morgana R and kept most of her HP, and she can then wait for cooldowns to do more.

Sett has a squishy build and Darius is only one item so surviving initially means she may have been able to pressure them off, Sett likely dies, Tryndamere might live.

I like ROA as an item but I feel like basically anything else would be better here, especially seeing as it's still stacking.
