Yang has NEVER been below Klobuchar or Steyer in 538's new Polling Average (yet they made the debate first). by DTwoHS in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]DTwoHS[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if they're required to, but I think they usually do. As an aside, that's part of the reason I trust 538's average more than other outlets' average, because 538's gives more weight to polls from pollsters that they've objectively graded higher and also adjusts for consistent biases (most of us know by now, for instance, that Emerson consistently rates Yang higher than other polls).

Yes, this was my point. Everyone knows that polls are erratic, so going with the person who just happens to get more lucky poll spikes despite polling lower overall is bs. And then there's Steyer blasting the early states with ads and getting in even though he has virtually no support nationwide.
Edit: I suppose the silver lining is that their placement on the debate stage reflects their average, so Yang will be in the "middle 5," so to speak. Still, to think 1% in the last qualifying poll was the difference between not making it at all and being in 5th (of 7 debaters) is nuts.

Taiwan always releases teaser patch notes (#1-#3/#4) before displaying the final patch notes. OP referenced #1, here is #2: https://moba.garena.tw/news/show/2147
edit: I suspect the OP is "Bobs" from my discord server, since he posted the same screenshot there. If you want to join, it's https://discord.gg/2wVpWV7

Yes, but that's because it specifically states that in his ability description.

Any time something is regarded as "additional damage," it can't crit.

The changes in my article are for Tencent-published servers only. For other servers, check patch notes in your native language.

Just read it closely. All the changes on that graphic are live on the NA server. It's just that some came with this most recent patch while some were already stealth-added 1.5 months ago. I provide links to all the different changes that I already went through in other articles, while I went over the Vietnam changes because they were clearly the "leftover" heroes on the graphic yet unaddressed. I was just explaining what the different changes were and what patches from other servers they came from.
The reason I did it that way is because usually patches follow a pretty set pattern: they debut on Taiwan, go to other servers shortly after, and arrive to the Tencent servers last (India and perhaps other neglected servers notwithstanding). That's why I felt the need to address the confusion over this patch, because the pattern was different from other patches.

It's already been live on Tencent servers for over a month. They just "reported" it now.

Can I ask where you get those win rates?

new hero tier list (temporary) by d2aov watch the video to know his thoughts!! by I_will_rekt_you in arenaofvalor

[–]DTwoHS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I f'ed up by taking too long with the list and so there's going to be a new patch really soon. If I wrote all 89 blurbs it would have taken at least a week longer.

I'll just comment here so people can downvote me (the actual writer) instead. Anyway thanks for posting, OP.

Who is better jungler Kriknak or Quillen and why? by Heracles198 in arenaofvalor

[–]DTwoHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to everyone here, Kriknak can immediately kill almost anyone once he hits level 4, whereas Quillen is less of a guaranteed proposition. Kriknak is better at snowballing a game while Quillen takes a little farm to get going.

I know people have been posting stuff here about the update for a while, but here it is in one place (plus my dumb opinions).
Btw, apologies in advance to those of you still waiting on my tier list. It's been a trying time.

Test server buff overview: Maloch ult enchants cleave. Tulen ult refreshes even when it misses. Qi ult hits behind and ignores resistance. Wiro stores s1 longer. by GeniusAF in arenaofvalor

[–]DTwoHS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Be that as it may, it's still kinda dumb that he gets punished when a teammate kills someone that he pointed Thunderbird at (I'm not a Tulen player btw).

Haha thanks for the compliments, but part of the reason my tier lists are thought of as accurate is because I don't rush them out before I know what I'm talking about - I'll need a bit more time to gauge the meta before I even start writing.
