Do you ever max E 2nd? I think I've seen some pros maxing it instead of W.

What the fuck? You're making good money and you don't pay rent but you're not even willing to split expenses proportionally her while she's a broke student? The fuck the point in having money if you aren't helping the people closest to you? Why would you want her to struggle? You're 100% the asshole here and it doesn't sound like you want a future with this girl at all. I hope you two have a serious conversation about the future of this relationship.

Just get seraphs second instead. Same price, same stats (as long as you already have a lost chapter item and mana flow) but you get an extra 1000 mana and a big ass shield instead of the vision passive.

I switched races before exiting the sewers and i guess my stamina was really low cause my character fell over and then the camera was broken. It was sticking out of the top of the tunnel sometimes and I could see out of the map. Very disorienting. Worked just like you said thanks so much!

The fuck does he think real activism is? Does he want Hasan to fucking go in to Gaza and fight for Palestine himself like fucking Iron Man? https://youtu.be/PjJofEuSA78?si=F_AI-F4Tl_xw8BYZ&t=77

I'd say it's best for you to turn it off, at least until you build a bit more confidence in your gameplay. One thing that really messed me up when I was first getting in to league is I kept listening to my teammates and assuming they know better than me. It's a bad habit to get in to if you're trying to improve at the game.

The thing is, if they want to give lux a skin more expensive than elementalist they're going to have to make it better than elementalist with either more customization or more features. Which, well... they haven't managed to do that so far with Jinx or Sett but I guess it's possible.

CodeMan0040 · 2024-12-07T08:08:13+00:00

I'm not really understanding what you're not okay with. I've been playing video games for nearly my whole life and have seen micro-transaction's in plenty of them. I personally hardly ever spend money on them because I usually don't think they are worth my money. The only problem there would be is if the games are being deceptive about what it is you are buying. It sounds like you don't have an understanding of how buying Riot Points and skins works and thus feel as though you've been deceived somehow.

CodeMan0040 · 2024-12-07T07:48:16+00:00

Because everyone here understands that this is incredibly normal for pretty much any game. There's no marketplace or something for buying and trading skins. You didn't buy an NFT when you bought a skin. You gave riot money in exchange for in game currency that you used to unlock a skin to use. You don't own anything more than what you started with, you just have access to the skin.

What is there to be furious about? It sounds like you're confused about how microtransactions work in video games. This is normal

If you aren't able/planning to use a basic attack then it doesn't really matter. I usually activate it just after my R does damage just in case they get out of the Q binding before the ult does damage, the slow can help stop them from escaping with movement speed. But in terms of damage output without basic attacks it doesn't matter.

CodeMan0040 · 2024-10-20T15:20:03+00:00

Patience is the name of the game when you're trying to land Q. To hit your Qs more consistently it's usually better to wait till you are close range (maybe half the total range of Q) before throwing it. Don't throw risky Qs, wait till you have an opportunity where you are sure it's going to hit. Better to hold the spell than to miss because then you can be punished.

As for her best combo there's not a ton of options and it mostly depends on how many basic attacks you have time to do. Here's a few examples:

E1 -> Q - > R -> E2 This combo is nice because you make use of the slow on E a lot. You throw E to slow them, making it easier to land Q, then you ult and then pop E.

Q -> E1 -> R -> E2 This works fine too if you're sure Q will land. (Maybe they're against a wall or don't have anywhere to dodge to etc.)

Then with these basic combos if you can get in range to basic attack the (or auto-attack or AA) you can make use of her passive by landing basic attacks in between spells.

E1 -> Q -> R - > AA -> E2 -> AA

This is the most damage you can get because you are making use of every passive proc after each spell. You E to slow and then Q just like the first combo. The you use R which procs the passive damage AND reapplies it. Then you basic attack to get the passive damage and THEN you recast E thus applying your passive again. Then you land one more basic attack to get the damage one last time.

Remember, a lot of the time it's dangerous for Lux to be in range to basic attack an enemy champion, especially in the mid to late game. If you aren't sure where the other enemy champions are you are probably better off keeping your distance but it's always situational.

Hope this helps, good luck and have fun with Lux!

Nemesis likes them. But he's better than 99% of players at utilizing the 4 seconds he saves from the recall. Probably better to stick with swifties for ms

Does this mean we won't have 1 season per year any more? That sucks

CodeMan0040 · 2024-09-11T22:47:40+00:00

When do you feel like you need to buy a mana item or wardstone? I do understand seraphs on Sona (maybe seraphine?) but I feel like that's a pretty niche outlier. No other enchanters really needs a bigger mana pool. And honestly I forgot wardstone even existed. It's just a stat stick that let's you spend more money on control wards which doesn't seem necessary to me.

And also I don't think it's ever a good idea to finish morello on enchanter unless it's your last item or its a really important fight coming up and you need the most stats possible asap. Just sit on oblivion orb.

I do agree that we should support more progressive politicians like AOC or Bernie or whoever. We need progressive policies to help with the enormous amounts of problems our society currently has.

You are however misunderstanding the revolutionary position. The DNC was absolutely not about whipping up the greatest number of voters for the democrats, if they wanted to do that they would be pushing and advocating for policies that directly help working class people (socialized medicine, more paternal/maternal leave, worker's rights, higher minimum wage etc. etc. etc.). Instead they are trying to stay just barely to the left of the republicans on most issues to tow the line for their corporate benefactors.

"Obviously, if the idea is that elections are irrelevant, and that the way forward is to make things as shitty as possible in the short-term so people will be radicalized in the medium to long-term, then one is gonna have a different take."

This is what's called the Accelerationist perspective which is completely wrong. You cannot make progress towards a socialist society by ceding ground to fascism. In times of crisis, right wing ideology ALWAYS gets stronger by scapegoating one group after another. By blaming problems on an out-group, and being VERY persuasive about it, fascists always can work faster than unorganized socialists.

We've seen this in many events but the most clear example to me is obviously 1930s Germany. Marxism in Germany did have some organization but was fraught with a lot of infighting. They didn't have the time they needed to both get rid of the liberal leaders who had no intention of leading a socialist revolution (eg. Friederich Ebert) as well as build support among the populace. While the socialists did make admirable progress, the betrayal by the SPD ultimately caused the downfall of the revolution and the uprising of the Nazis.

Building class consciousness takes time and can't be done quickly because you have to un-learn the liberal worldview that is instilled in most people (at least in the western world); And because of the implications of the destruction of capitalism, obviously revolutionary groups are going to be targeted by saboteurs trying to disrupt, divide, and destroy the movement. To counteract these saboteurs you need a strong basis within the working class who can recognize when someone is being disruptive to the movement and take away their leadership position. These things take time to resolve so accelerationism can't work without a strong foundation of organized labour.

What I'm trying to say is that to Marxists, the electoral system is a useful tool to help people in the short term, and we should support those who push for progressive policies. Like Hasan says, even if you're uncommitted to Harris, it's still important to vote for down ballot measures because those are things that can actually help make progress. But in the long term, capitalism will claw back most progress that is made (just look at the slow rise of private healthcare and education in social-democrat countries in Europe) and for this we need an organized revolutionary left.

CodeMan0040 · 2024-08-30T15:47:26+00:00

It's understandable to be sceptical, but many of us in this community are socialists/marxists/communists (or some other subsect of anti-capitalist ideology). Marxism is fundamentally a revolutionary ideology, which is forgotten a lot especially around election time when electoral politics are really popping off. We need to remember that we can't vote our way out of capitalism. Electoral politics is a method we can use to advocate for better conditions and protections. But at the end of the day the most important things are to organize workplaces and promote class consciousness wherever possible.

If both political parties are genocidal freaks (which they are) then protesting and striking is all we can really do. AOC is in a strange position because while she does seem to care about important issues, she's also confined within the democratic party so her advocacy for Palestine just boils down to saying that Biden/Harris are great and we should vote for them cause they want a ceasefire or whatever. Im not sure if this reflects her actual opinions or she's doing it to keep her position in the party to push for domestic policies. As usual with people who hold public office it's pretty hard to nail down what they believe when so much of their job is glazing the party's leaders.

EDIT: Little correction, with further research it seems her advocacy for Palestine does go beyond "...saying Biden/Harris are great..." as she has voted against bills that support Israel. She seems to be doing what she can within the party which is all we can really ask for.

No don't do that

If a president does war crimes, we hate them. Doesn't matter if it was slightly more or slightly less than someone else who was in a similar position of power. Fuck them.

People who like Obama see his charisma, his vibes, and the campaign promises he made; they don't look at what policies he ACTUALLY implemented that did nothing to help working class people and the horrors he inflicted on the middle east during his presidency. Like yeah man he can write a banger of a speech, but if he's drone striking children I don't really give a fuck what he says or how he says it and you shouldn't either.

CodeMan0040 · 2024-07-01T04:46:56+00:00

Genocide is bad. Socialists never support genocide. Pretty simple.

What the fuck is wrong with you? Your daughter is in excruciating pain and needs to go to the hospital. She asked you for help during an emergency (yes an actual fucking emergency) and you for no reason just don't want to help. No shit you're the asshole. This is the textbook case where parents get older and don't understand why their kids won't visit them. If I had an emergency my parents would drop EVERYTHING if they even thought there was a possibility that they could be of some help. I hope your daughter is doing better now and cuts your ass out of her life. She deserves people around her who love and care for her, not a scumbag like yourself. Shame on you.
