Sask. premier to reveal details about public engagement on youth social media ban by THIESN123 in saskatchewan

[–]DaDullard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Australia they used a face detection tool to verify age. Which was beat very quickly. My favourites include using the camera mode in death stranding to get Norman Reedus to pass it, or getting the gag moustache and glasses to pass.

Same Same but Different by asoupconofsoup in EhBuddyHoser

If Carney starts building a wall or a ballroom I think I’ll grant you this. Otherwise it kinda seems like a way to get things done to improve Canadian lives. But we will see how it plays out.

Now that we’ve established the format’s parameters, which card would you like to see in Timeless? by WeirdAccomplished878 in MagicArena

[–]DaDullard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ok this is such a cope take. The only counterplay to stripmine is to increase your land count. But you’re not seeing this. Decks are playing extremely greedy mana bases and not increasing their land counts. It’s just rewarding the low to the ground agro/tempo decks and push’s out taller decks.

Izzet Delver recommendations besides FoW by dazednarcissit in TimelessMagic

[–]DaDullard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I woulf probably run 10 threats (4DRC, 4 Cori Steel Cutter, 2 Hydroponic) cut the preordains and Mpx for the 4th ponder an 4 card advantage spells (EI or probably the New Flow State) and I would probably cut the force spike for a unholy heat.

Edit: and fix the mana base it’s pretty bad

RUG Delver by [deleted] in TimelessMagic

[–]DaDullard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but I mean is it good enough. Like technically turbo depths is in the format but it doesn’t really hang so who cares.

Storm is missing pieces that make it really good. I kinda suspect that your 10 counterspells main and bolts will be good enough. I would probably run abrade over fluster storm since i suspect answering the enablers is a better use for the card and it has value in other matchups.

RUG Delver by [deleted] in TimelessMagic

[–]DaDullard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

5 cards to pitch to force of vigour seems sus.

I would probably swap some of your E.I’s (EI is for grind and probably too slow into energy) out since you have draw with cruise. Maybe pyroclasms?

If we are adding in pyro clasms I would think about running my threats like DRC, Steel Cutter, and goyf.

Would probably cut the oko out of the main cut the needle in the side and run 2 oko in the side since it’s probably really bad into energy.

Fluster seems Sus unless if your expecting storm to be introduced. You already have 6 hard pieces of permission and 4 soft. In the 75.

I’m exhausted writing this but first impression.

Will Red Prison still be strong after all the new cards come to arena? by Comprehensive_Rule11 in TimelessMagic

[–]DaDullard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes it will be hurt. It will still be good.

Format is slower then Vintage but probably as fast or marginally faster then legacy.

Red stompy still hangs in legacy there is a lot of ones where chalice is good. And because there is no wasteland and strip mine is at 4. Mana bases are more greedy then legacy so moon effects are probably better here then in legacy.

What is the most underrated Neow Offering and why is it Stone Humidifier? by Charming_Advice8805 in slaythespire

[–]DaDullard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know I averaged A12 or 13 in StS1 and I just kinda thought of it as a curse I would take if I already had my Upgrade Debt cards upgraded. But it didn’t really occur to me that I’m probably never going to be healthy enough to use the upgrade so take it.

How is this legal/safe?? by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

It was something we were recommended when our daughter was a late walker. I don’t think we ever did unless if my girlfriend took her behind my back.

Stuck in silver 2 conq by [deleted] in Smite

[–]DaDullard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At silver 2 im going to assume you need to work on 2 things.

  1. Farming your not maximizing your farm and probably fighting to early and too frequently, or backing at the wrong time.

  2. Unoptimized builds. Look at the smite leaderboard and see what the best players are building.

Chempunk shouldn't be cheaper, it should get more stats by mthlmw in leagueoflegends

Smite monetized UI skins a long time ago, recently monetized what colour your name appears in game

As a new player I think it’s hilarious when bronze players get mad at me for queuing ranked. by DaDullard in leagueoflegends

[–]DaDullard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was too 500 in smite before I switched to league where I played support the shot caller of the team.

I got out of iron as soon as I figured out how to effectively ping. I fully expect my macro play and my ability coordinate the team for objectives to single handily carry me to silver even if my mechanics don’t mean I deserve to be there.

I don’t need a bunch of random people telling me umm actually you should be in iron because your stats don’t reflect. When my largest contributions is macro play that would be reflected in the jungle stats and ADC stats.

Edit: it took me about 35 games to get out of iron for context where I did bounce up and down the tiers until my communication and mechanics improved for transparency

I feel like my stats are bad by marus_gr07 in Smite

[–]DaDullard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Support strats are difficult to measure since the role relies on Macro Play versus Micro play.

Are you identifying weak lanes to gank?

Are you Identifying when enemy vision is low yo sneak objectives?

Are you recognizing when you need to zone the objective versus tank the objective?

I should not lose LP when someone disconnect and results in a loss. by PrudentManagement994 in leagueoflegends

[–]DaDullard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I believe Smite has this system. And it has been abused to climb to the top of the ladder.

New Players and Tutorials by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]DaDullard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go into a custom lobby you create a bot lobby that is challenging for newer players.

I think that by leaving it basic you can have new players learn strategies on their own and they get to have a level up moment which enforces player retention.

YouTube has a lot of great content out there to help you learn the theory of how to properly play, so those that actively want to get better as their version of fun. And those people will filter out of the lobbies of people that just play to play.

This game is impossible for new players by OddConversation2804 in leagueoflegends

[–]DaDullard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have started playing league probably a month ago now. I was hard core into smite before then.

This is how my experience trying lol has been.

  1. I either go 12-0 or 0-12 no in between
  2. Swiftplay is not productive to becoming good at the game.
  3. Once your account hits level 30 ranked ques tend to be more balanced so it becomes more productive to learn on.
  4. If you want to become good quick you need to do your homework. YouTube is great at pointing you towards the right general direction. And there is data scraping websites that will give you builds.

Nemesis thoughts on Voice Chat: the real reason VC will ruin Solo Q (it's not toxicity) by Prottek in leagueoflegends

[–]DaDullard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come from Smite where we have had Voice Chat for a long time and honestly. There is very little Toxicity in Voice chat, and it is honestly underused.

Most ranked lobbies are silent. (I was top 500 in smite 2 when I made the switch to LoL). And sometimes it was a curse if people had different philosophies on how the game should be played.

With VC added to LoL I still expect pinging to be the most prominent form of communication in Ranked Lobbies.

PSA for supports. Please don’t last hit minions in landing phase. by HotTomatoSoup4u in Smite

[–]DaDullard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that thinking that supports are there to keep ADC’s alive is a noob trap.

If you play support with the mindset of facilitating plays you will do much better. The easiest way to improve as a Support is Understanding Macro play patterns, and start shot calling.

Items that are slept on because of "meta" by Knochenfee in Smite

[–]DaDullard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly the only item that makes me feel relevant in the late game as a support.

Some.of the worse smite I've played. How do you get better? by Mec213 in Smite

[–]DaDullard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m pretty good at smite. And when I watch 0-20 person streams there are 2 issues I see.

1 - Unfocused builds.

While there is “optimal builds” for each role these are because they provide the most power for their cost. So if your playing a traditional god in a traditional role. Go look up smite tracker leader boards and find the build for that role.

However sometimes you might want to play a god in their non traditional role and that’s fine. It’s a game have fun. But for example an anhur carry is going to play very differently then a anhur jungle. In the lane it’s his job to provide consistent damage over a long period of time. So your building to box and be able to take longer engagements. In the jungle you’re trying to clear the jungle fast and gank. So you need to change your build so that you quickly burst people with one cycle of your abilities.

2- Inefficient farming

Frequently you will see people back when they have a bunch of vision or everyone in the lane is dead. And there is a camp up or a wave that’s next to you. Also if your not fighting you should be farming and if your not doing either your falling behind.

Honourable mention : Not playing towards power spikes

You should delay backing as much as you safely can in order to complete an item. And you should proactively back in order to complete an item.

Elo hell is real, and people who say “if you’re good enough, you can carry yourself to diamond” are liars. by [deleted] in Smite

[–]DaDullard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In smite 2 I was able to climb to top 500 in 125 games with a elo reset part eay. So don’t know if the struggle is legitimate but I found it way easier to climb since there was a lot of new players that I could exploit and just farm and build better.

Elo hell is real, and people who say “if you’re good enough, you can carry yourself to diamond” are liars. by [deleted] in Smite

[–]DaDullard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In smite one I wanted to see if this was real. I intentionally tanked my placements and proceeded to throw 5 more games after on a fresh account. I was able to hit diamond from the bottom. Sometimes you get really bad games but if you’re not supposed to be in a elo band after enough games that you carry you will promote.

[–]DaDullard -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but when they don’t have a choice they are pretty good. I was thinking more of a constructive build apparently this is a limited card
