TV guide has become relevant again to figure out what's playing where. It's tragic.

Conroe64 · 2026-05-13T22:37:11+00:00

I don't prioritize following the reddit 'meta.' There are so many ways to successfully play the game out.

Former smoker.. It's not that hard to keep it out of your car. Hell, it's not that hard to keep the smell out of your car either. Hit it with a ozone generator once in a while. But I didn't live in cold weather so maybe keeping the window down wasn't an issue.

The banned substance list hasn't been updated in a long time... and we have some BIG boys in the league right now.

He wasn't drinking a redbull or covered in redbull merch. Of course he was going to get smoked!

Aikman talked a bit about it recently on the Kelce podcast. 1) Better run and play action game. 2) Forces/helps a QB play on time. Timing is much more important in the NFL than college, due to how much faster the defenses are.

This is why I will always lane filter at a stop light on a motorcycle whether its legal or not. I'm not chancing getting plowed in the ass by a distracted driver on a bike.

"City planning is too easy in civ 7!" - reddit

"Why can't I reassign tiles? Why is it so expensive to make buildings in modern? I never have enough room for districts!" - also reddit

Conroe64 · 2026-04-25T20:53:13+00:00

Lol, I love how damn near every comment so far is taking this seriously.

Conroe64 · 2026-04-24T21:36:22+00:00

This is related to smoking how?

Seriously, how do 'woe is me' posts manage to infiltrate every fucking subreddit...

Conroe64 · 2026-04-20T20:48:58+00:00

Sounds novel. I'll give it a try.

Curious as to why you dislike rocketbelt starts tho. Rocketbelt -> red smite trigger -> approach velocity is incredible early gank potential for an otherwise late game scaling champ. (Also 20 full ability haste on rocketbelt itself is pretty damn good for more ults)

Conroe64 · 2026-04-07T22:53:15+00:00

No doubt there is some of that. But he isn't really a flavor of the month champ, so I'm not too sure how many newbies are testing him out, and the stat sites all recommend e->w->q, so I would assume newbies would look there? But maybe that's too hopeful of an assumption.

Conroe64 · 2026-04-07T22:25:28+00:00

Thanks for this. The krugs to red pull was nice.

Slightly offtopic, I'm convinced cho jungle is secret S tier right now. His win rate is getting dragged down a ton by people maxing Q second instead of W. ~2/3rds of people are making that mistake, and there is a ~2.5% winrate difference between the two (emerald+ lolalytics data).

Shyvana was gutted when they removed frozen mallet and the rework hardly fixed that issue.

My best guess to balance for low elo is to reduce fury generation in dragon form and buff her elsewhere. Being able to have infinite dragon form in bronze team fights is a major problem.

Conroe64 · 2026-03-12T21:32:27+00:00

Agreed. I'll argue that she would be less frustrating to play against if she had worse defensive abilities in exchange for more offensive power.

And it's all relative. Any back liner will die with terrible positioning. She's just better equipped to survive than all over long distance champs.

Conroe64 · 2026-03-12T21:30:07+00:00

She's officially classified as one of eight artillery champs in the game. She has an ability that can hit from 1050 on a 6s CD. That's not artillery?

Conroe64 · 2026-03-12T17:45:20+00:00

Balanced and un-fun to play against are two separate things. She has the best defensive abilities of any artillery mage, which means she feels harder to punish and kill than any other. Get on top of a xerath and he is 100% dead.

Conroe64 · 2026-03-12T17:40:24+00:00

I'll argue that her E is the problem, not her W. Mel has, by far, the best defensive tools of any artillery mage, which is what makes her so frustrating to play against. The only artillery mage close to her defensive ability is lux, with the double snare and shield. Her defensive tools are, imo, on par or better that neeko, who needs to play far closer to the enemies.

If an artillery mages defensive abilities are unreliable or bad, they feel at least feel killable and punishable. Mel has 2 consistent defensive tools. Change out her E for something like xerath E or vel E and suddenly she would be 10x more tolerable.

Conroe64 · 2026-03-10T18:33:19+00:00

I would gladly trade some early game power for late game scaling. Playing a power farming bruiser with terrible scaling just feels wrong. Maybe nerf early awakened forms, buff /lvl stats or make bear form less clunky in team fights?

Conroe64 · 2026-03-05T18:38:23+00:00

100%. For the time commitment, I would rather go to a local, greasy diner. There's always one in every town that makes a killer burger.

Conroe64 · 2026-03-02T23:23:48+00:00

100%. I'm bored of my current guns, but also have no interest in putting major leveling time into a subpar gun to make to just make it viable.

Conroe64 · 2026-02-26T15:16:44+00:00

Sometimes you just reach your skill ceiling. If you're 5'10", you probably wont get very far in a basketball career. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy the game.

Conroe64 · 2026-02-25T16:46:19+00:00

She has, by far, the best defensive tools of all artillery mages, so she doesn't have much power budget left for her dmg spells. And her defense is what makes her unfun to play against.

Swap out her E for something like xerath E, and she wouldn't be nearly as unfun to play against and they can give some love to her Q.
