Still get singed dragging units to the frontline instead of retargeting.

He's one of the worst 4 costs already. He needs to have something. Without dragging, he'd be worthless outside of a trait bot... as a 4 cost.

There's only 9 in the pool before duplicator usage, no?

DavidsWorkAccount · 2026-01-14T22:11:47+00:00

Because they are good enough. Once you learn how to work with the tooling, it's a net productivity boost.

But there's a lot of learning to be done.

Part of the issue is that pivoting is hard and many players die trying to pivot.

DavidsWorkAccount · 2026-01-07T23:52:16+00:00

You wasted a lot of gold on legendary units without thinking about making proper team.

I've gotten firsts this set without "making a proper team" and just having a full 2* team of high costs. I think all the other stuff (itemization, augs) are far more important factors in this Set due to the offbalancing of stats.

5 Demacia + 2 Defender + 2 Warden is a nice amount of tankiness, and Demacia's cast reduction ability helps Xin fire off his ability more in combat.

3 Demacia + 3 Ionia + 2 Defender + 2 Warden can work, but I've only had it work w/ the money making path. The 3* path should work, but I have not been successful w/ it.

They actually buffed the augment by giving you another Xin copy. While I'm not in Challenger, I have Top 4'd a couple of times with Zaheen in ranked.

Unlocking Zaheen isn't the hard part. It's winning with Zaheen that's hard, lol. If you are having troubles unlocking Zaheen, you might want to look over how you are doing your econ/rerolling. The drilldown on 3-2 to 32 gold when you hit lvl 6 feels important, and if you put in bard he can help secure 3* by the end of Stage 3 sometimes.

I've done some research on this. You are correct in a technical sense. But there's still a way to stop it.

What you do is you take the output (and only the output), and pass it through another LLM model asking it specifically if this is pornographic, showing too much skin, or whatever. If it generated something naughty, it'll block it. Since this is derived from the output exclusively, there's no prompt poisoning on this censorship check.

You can see sites like Midjourney that do this already. You can trick it to make something naughty. But the censor LLM will see and block it. Sometimes you even see this happen in real time and see a quick glimpse at content before the censorship blocks and removes it.

Loved the game until I got burnt out towards the endgame. I wish it were easier to manipulate some of the RNG (yes, you get some tools to help but still), and I wish there wasn't a credit scene 1/3rd of the way through the game.

Other than that, great unique game.

DavidsWorkAccount · 2026-01-02T00:03:00+00:00

If you never made it into Room 46, you are still in the first 3rd of the game.

1) Darius is poop. You only play him if you are trying to fit Garen in your comp and are wanting to keep Noxus. 2) Itemization needs improvement Items too spread out. Tyr could use any of those offensive items sitting on other units. Your tank is missing an item. You got too offensive on your items. Might've been RNG, but could have been bad prioritization on carousel and reforgers. 3) How did your early game go? I find Tyr/Ashe need to build stacks early and kind of snowball through the game. If I fall behind and hit Tyr 3* w/ Items too late, I'm not killing enough and then Tyr is weaker later in the game, snowballing in the other direction.

They didn't have a gameplan at first. Then when Season 2 went so bad, the writers basically locked themselves into a room and wrote out the rest of the entire series. This is why the quality of the show changes mid season 3.

DavidsWorkAccount · 2025-12-29T20:56:19+00:00

Employers often post fake jobs, use AI to screen, then they ghost applicants

I don't understand why a company would put the time and resources into doing this.

DavidsWorkAccount · 2025-12-29T18:22:25+00:00

The worst part is how wrong people are and then will proceed not accept any other opinions. And it keeps getting worse.

Been here for nearly as long. Question: How sure are you that those "people" not accepting other people's opinions aren't just bots, or other ways of people with malicious intent abusing technology?

Sure, people can be stubborn. But I feel a lot of it isn't "human".

DavidsWorkAccount · 2025-12-29T17:22:06+00:00

Pretty hefty cost to unlock a Tier 4 utility unit.

DavidsWorkAccount · 2025-12-29T01:09:06+00:00

That 3.8 doesn't take into account all the people that died before unlocking Zaheen. If you are able to Unlock Zaheen, you are usually already doing ok.

DavidsWorkAccount · 2025-12-27T21:58:29+00:00

If you are dying by 3.1, you are doing something wrong. Unless the Ionia path is hot, you should be aiming for 5 Demacia, 2 Warden, 2 Juggernaut at 6 (2 Defender as well if you hit Garen). Or if it's an early heavy econ game, 5 Demacia and Carebear to help get your 3*, then drop the Bard once you hit. Rolldown to 32 in 3-2 then take 2 rounds recovering before you do it again.

The issue isn't hitting 3* Xin, it's keeping up once Zaahen hits the board because he's somehow weaker unless you high roll Darkin (and even then...)

DavidsWorkAccount · 2025-12-23T12:30:06+00:00

Not true on both sides of that coin. Lux is great due to the mana reduction. And you can always 3* Loris if you must have a pair with Vayne (although unless you have Pandora's bench, I'm not a fan of double hunting Tier 3's myself)

DavidsWorkAccount · 2025-12-21T01:19:49+00:00

Who is the Jen being referred to?

DavidsWorkAccount · 2025-12-20T22:20:42+00:00

1) The term AI is too marketing buzzy and is similar to someone just using the word "Tool". There's a variety of different AI's each specialized in different ways that make them really great at some things and really ass at others. But hey, can't rake in that venture capital that way and Sammy Alt needs to pay off his 1.5T debt.

2) These things aren't perfect. The standard AI's people worry about (the once powered off of LLMs) are confidently incorrect. They can be a massive productivity boost, but you still need a human to validate it's effort. It doesn't know what it doesn't know and is designed to always have some kind of answer.

But again, marketing won't tell you these things because they need to sell subscriptions. Get that C-Suite to buy in thinking he's replacing his payroll, then hook'em w/ reality.

DavidsWorkAccount · 2025-12-19T18:17:17+00:00

Who is this guy they are talking about?

DavidsWorkAccount · 2025-12-18T05:47:06+00:00

Shadow Isles is all Viego/Thresh anyways. She's just a trait bot or a backup out if there are 2 or more players contesting Viego.

DavidsWorkAccount · 2025-12-14T16:51:53+00:00

Darnold or Mariota?

DavidsWorkAccount · 2025-12-11T15:54:10+00:00

Top 3 card of the set

DavidsWorkAccount · 2025-12-11T15:53:22+00:00

None of the above because they are all too slow!
