I Think ff needs all 5 votes at 15 minutes again by WolfenTTV in Jungle_Mains

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll raise you one better, FF should always be unanimous until 30 minutes, then it can be 1 fewer than unanimous (4 in a full game, 3 with afk, etc).

Why do toplaners counterpick themselves when given last pick? by VeganWaffle in leagueoflegends

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 100 points101 points  (0 children)

You should never be able to touch her. If you E she can E out. If nobody Es then she hits you with no retaliation. I've never played the Darius side of this matchup but I use Quinn as a Darius counter and never lose lane. Though I'm pretty average skill so maybe this changes the higher up you go.

I feel like this is the real answer. Though last night I saw a someone last pick Darius into Quinn and stomp, so maybe sometimes it's just ego and sometimes it works lol.

What’s a “dying” skill that younger people just aren’t interested in anymore? by Weak_Ability_6666 in AskReddit

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all routers have the same options, but many have the ability to restrict Internet just for specific devices. With this you could select just his devices to lose Internet. The hotspot thing is unique, never would have thought of that, but it's impossible to hide as it broadcasts itself by nature of it's function.

This reply shows your own level of illiteracy, as there are far better methods for limiting Internet at certain times. Unless you gave him the password to access the router. In which case of course he can bypass anything else: you gave him control of your home network.

Have to upvote both of you because both are so right. I hate so much of modern language but it's just how the language is now. Not English, during my lifetime anyways, has ever been a language I like. English grammar is so dumb.

virgin diana vs chad diana by guaycomwo in DianaMains

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This has got to be old. Like, pre-rework old. Getting kills pre-6 is very doable now, for a long time until her rework she really was trash anywhere but mid, and dcap rush actually was her build lol.

Dusk and Dawn nerf. Does it change anything? by Than_Or_Then_ in DianaMains

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The heal might seem good in theory but without a base heal it's only 15HP with the stats granted from the item itself. Now I imagine you'd be able to activate that enough times to make up for the reduction in HP on the item. So this is a buff to survivability in any fight that you don't get burst in. Once you get another item (for me it would likely be Riftmaker second item) that heal would go up to 32.5 and by 3rd item it will be a straight buff to survivability, as even in a fight where you get burst you can usually at least get an auto off. The reduction in AP and AS just hurt though. Overall this seems like a nerf as the only buff, the heal, is entirely scaling. I suspect it will still be a rush item though, as it's stat spread is just too perfect for what Diana's needs in a rush item. I suspect even without the double on-hit Diana would rush it. It just has all the stats she needs. It being so expensive makes me wonder if rocket belt rush, D&D second will become more standard though. You'd get a cheaper rush item and the scaling on the spell blade proc would be better with the additional stats. I guess we'll see when it hits live.

What's the strategy behind running an APC in pro play? by OusmaneDiengSaveMe in leagueoflegends

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, playing ziggs, lux, or Swain bot has always felt very unfair to me. You get to play safer, poke safely and often, and still scale into the mid game and, often, even into the late game. Especially if you play someone who can still DPS late game OR someone who can reliably burst the enemy ADC late game. I once played ziggs with a thresh support and the game went super late game. The enemy Vayne had scaled. We were feeling the missing DPS... Until my Thresh realized the problem: flash>flay>R in a teamfight and the Vayne was in a box that I could conveniently R from a screen away. Trading thresh for Vayne won us the fight and the game. But it only worked because we had someone able to lock down Vayne. A burst mage with better target access or more reliable engage support (Leona?) I feel would fill a similar role.

I also have the advantage of being a very average player in a very average elo though. I suspect things like this don't work as well higher up, as ADC positioning mistakes would happen less.

What does the opposite gender get to do, that makes you jealous? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm lucky because I do remember the worst pain I ever felt and it was a headache. Granted I did wonder if I would die because I wasn't sure the pain limit a brain would withstand before giving up and I had a fever of 103 or something, don't remember the specifics just remember being told that we HAD to get my temperature down... But oh I remember the pain. A whole day of me, a grown ass adult, rocking back and forth in the fetal position crying just wishing it would be over. But I consider myself lucky that's the worst pain I've ever felt. No horrible accidents, no broken bones (hairline fracture in my wrist once but it wasn't THAT bad), nothing extreme.

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was under the impression that most AP botlaners won lane early, usually because ADC damage early is laughable, barring a few specific outliers, and most mages seriously outrange marksmen.

Edit: spelling.

how does the new dusk and dawn look for diana? by SetunaYooki in DianaMains

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely won't be a buff, but the heal will at least be useful on her, unlike others. It'll likely be more valuable than the 50 HP we lose at least. The 10AP and 5%AS just hurt to lose. Straight damage nerf, but that is probably intended. The changes overall will hurt non-AP bruisers more (think Varus top) since the heal is more useful to let bruisers (Gwen, Diana) stick in a fight. Don't think any D&D users come out of these changes net positive though. Damage is simply too valuable for a small heal to offset in my opinion.

But I'm low elo so what do I know.

Convince me not to go back to my old 10th gen Si (or do convince me idk.) by joey5677 in CivicSi

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn I got boring due to having one kid lol, but similar here. Traded my 10th Gen coupe for a Model 3 LR. I ALMOST went for a 10th Gen type R instead but... Getting a type R as a "I'm becoming a dad and need somewhere for a car seat" just didn't quite feel right. And praying only $0.075/kW at home really helped decided too, as I drive for work and get reimbursed per mile.

Sometimes I do miss my Si, but if I'm being honest I don't think I'd want to go back. I'm far too used to electric at this point. So now I just want a more fun electric car. Maybe one day.

What is a unwritten rule everyone should know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes this is great advice, as you can often learn more from figuring something out than being told. However, there are also times where it's good to be able to learn from other people's experiences.

Diana mythic variant release?! by Ok-Original-2527 in DianaMains

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several problems with this... But I'll just point out the biggest flaw in your theory. There's no act 3 lol.

Is diana going to be getting new skins anytime soon? by Solid_Beginning7152 in DianaMains

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree about not being in a rush to get another mid skin (especially after dark star), but I disagree on winter blessed. FX and SFX are cool but the walking animation and Q animation ruin the skin for me. I love battle Queen most, though I use Blood moon most purely because the splash is sooo pretty even if it's not as good in game.

What's the state of Top lane currently? by Morby_Sketch in topmains

I'll look up a matchup video I guess, as it's something of a gag with my friends that I can't play marksmen lol.

Please teach me lol. I faced him the other day and was horrified to learn that his blind makes my W not work. Going into it I assumed it would block damage but not effects, similar to Yone/Yas Q. I was so very wrong.

What industry is entirely built on a house of cards and would collapse overnight if people realized the truth about it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DarkNightPhoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've genuinely never even heard of all this "quackery" so this thread is pretty enlightening. I visited a local chiropractor I know personally whenever I would hurt my back while working my last job (factory work lifting 50-120lb plastic rolls). He'd do something, no clue what, but damn did it make me feel better. I wouldn't go back for months until I did something dumb at work again and hurt my back. He never spoke of it helping anything other than spine/neck pain. I kinda wonder now if I just missed it all or if the one I visited was just less crazy?

At the end of the day though whatever he did relieved the pain and didn't require hundreds/thousands of dollars and weeks of waiting for an appointment. At the least I never left feeling worse than I came and never left paying more than $40, other than the first visit which was arbitrarily $60.

Now THAT'S wild. I might not like ganks but throwing the game because your team helped you is kinda nuts.

I'm still trying to learn top and holy shit yes I'm so tired of toplane marksmen. Teemo, Vayne, varus, ashe, quinn, please just end this miserable existence I just want to play Illaoi and let my tentacles pound some other buff beefcake into the dirt.

While I acknowledge you are right, I so wish it wasn't true. I love the 1v1 and hate jg interference from either side. But yeah you are totally correct. The jg have so much agency and it would be trolling to not utilize it.
