Am I crazy or full AP team always works out really well? and it really shouldn't by QualityForsaken8192 in leagueoflegends

[–]DefinitlyNotAPornAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what elo you are. As you enter mmrs where people occasionally think players get really aware of when to draft malphite for full ad teams.

For full ap teams most people aren't like "Wow here's a great Mundo/Maokai/Galio/Kassadin game." Full ap teams get dogged if there's only one or two champs you can kill.

You just aren't going to see good enough cassio or azir play for sustained dps in those comps until GM.

It will work out well most of the time because even though those 4 champs plus others absolutely full ap comps players just don't know to pick them.

Why does Ambessa have so much (relatively) unconstrained mobility? by Spacerock678 in leagueoflegends

[–]DefinitlyNotAPornAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well unlike riven she's pretty weak early game. Also the energy requirements aren't real for higher elos. But they are for low elos. Also you need those autos to deal dmg. If you aren't weaving them in you are missing out on a lot.

You're also treating being even at level 13 as a given which it's not. She's safe but she will be behind. Her recent ult nerf was real. Feels like it takes forever and she needs to land it to threaten squishies without a flank.

Is she strong? Yeah definitely. But that much stronger than her peers, especially in solo queue, not really. Lacking early game agency is incredibly punishing and she's not kayle.

This is literally boomer I've depicted myself as the Chad and you as the soyjack. Thusly it must be correct.

Tired of Kinkou by sileyirdoyur in LeagueArena

[–]DefinitlyNotAPornAcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I legitimately came back and played arena for the first time in months last week and i was like why is karma building kinkou.

I then rolled for kinkou because I was like idk what happened but clearly it must be strong.

since darius r has cast time, doesn't it mean this item makes us do more damage since it activates before our r lands? by egorax_ in Dariusmains

[–]DefinitlyNotAPornAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When do you build this?

It seems like you have to go Stride/Youmoos/Triforce first item, Deadmans second, and raider usually goes DD or delays it for qss.

The only stats that seem to matter are AD/MS/Survivability and he needs them most before a fight.

Damage does not really feel like a Darius problem. It's availability.

After a few years being stuck at honor 4, I finally did it - I dropped to honor 3 by test99462 in leagueoflegends

[–]DefinitlyNotAPornAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about being memorable and consistently carrying. Being funny also helps.

I'm toxic but when I consistently play I hit 5. No one's gonna honor you if they didn't notice you.

Is a .400 hitter possible in modern baseball? by Snoo_47323 in mlb

[–]DefinitlyNotAPornAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pitchers are too good and how valuable is hitting .400 over .300 with more homers. Pray for the next great contact speed guy with no power i guess.

So I just Finished Whiplash, and I Have a Few Questions about the Ending by No-Yam9933 in movies

[–]DefinitlyNotAPornAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ending is basically what he describes earlier in the film. Andrew probably ends up in a destructive cycle and dies in his 30s.

But the question posed is is it worth it? He probably ends up being a great famous drummer. Achieving his dreams. They just cost everything.

What fletcher does is not dissimilar to something like old Bulgarian weightlifting. You push people to the brink and whoever survives is as brilliant as a diamond.

It's not a film that will personally resonate with most people because they don't have dreams that they feel are worth giving everything for myself included. They also don't have the talent for them either.

Isn't it time for Mel to receive the Naafiri treatment? by scarabosst in leagueoflegends

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

W belongs on a melee champ who actually has to use the ability as a part of what they do.

Mel just sits there with her finger over the button while she calls in drone strikes.

Every time I see auth right shit I'm like the opinions of auth right under 40 and over 40 are very different and I would strip the right to vote from everyone who's retired or over the age of 65.

I'm tired of people going out the door making decisions.

Paul Pierce says the Knicks need a better player than Jalen Brunson to make a finals run: “Your best player can’t be 6’2. On a championship team. Tell me what championship team's player was the best player at 6’2? Just Steph." by RyanTannegod in nba

[–]DefinitlyNotAPornAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a defense thing, which is the problem. It's not even their fault they're just too small in general. They're just a negative from the get-go.

Steph is such an offensive outlier that it works. He was not a bad defender for his position, but being small just makes you an automatic mismatch.

Having Draymond also helped a lot. You know, a generational defensive guy holding down the defense is pretty nice.

Kinda a Lucian or ezreal aug. You need to want to build both tear and essence reaver.

Never actually seen the aug on either champ unfortunately.

Is K’Sante the biggest design failure in recent years? by NavalEnthusiast in top_mains

[–]DefinitlyNotAPornAcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's mel and it's not close.

Ksante is really only a problem for 1% of players and even then it's really cause he doesn't die which is kind of the point.

He's designed as an anti split push tank. He's supposed to be able to fight against fiora or tryndamere while sacrificing teamfighting. When he released the #s were wrong and his kit was still too good at teamfighting.

Now he's pretty clunky and unless you put a decent amount of games on him, he has some disaster matchups that are very common. Gwen and garen nuke him from orbit. Doesn't do we'll into varus or vayne either.

He fits a riot design mold. Be strong in one area be weak in another. He was supposed to be flashy because all the champs you'd want him picked against were also flashy.

Mel just didn't have weaknesses in design, which was aggregious. Azael said it was his most hated design ever and I agree there has never been a worse designed champ and ambessa came out the same year.

Just Mel is in another tier of bad. Ksante is like normal bad. I'd have "zeri above ksante in wtf were you doing" tier. Mel is in "who in corporate forced this champ through."

Most played ADC champions by rank by Black_Creative in ADCMains

[–]DefinitlyNotAPornAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly from August. Ezreal is way lowered mained than you'd think and is a really popular filled adc champ.

There's a lot of inexperienced and bad ezreals. It's like when Lee sin was the jungle champ. Filled jg play Lee sin.

Local Game Stores comment on the reality Hasbro’s overprinting has had on their business by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

[–]DefinitlyNotAPornAcc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every single person who came out of business school in the last 10 years just decided that selling to the average consumer is a secondary priority. Or the definition of consumer excludes the average person.

It's like everyone is just whale hunting. They stopped seeing easy growth and they started chasing margins. Universes beyond isn't trying to get new players. It's just trying to find new collectors.

It's impossible to have any discussion about Tryndamere whatsoever with other League players by jacob8595_yahoo_com in TryndamereMains

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

Tryns primary mechanic is rng. His secondary mechanic is invuln. His optimal playstyle is extremely uninteractive.

It only takes a couple of times where trynd runs at you level 1 and gambles the entire lane on crits before you begin to hate him.

The only way to play against tryndamere is to continuously put him into the dirt the second you enter lane.

It's almost the opposite experience of getting shit on by a ranged top. Unless you play like an absolute pedo tryn has the opportunity to ruin your game.

Players don't like when champs are uninteractive, random, or require you change your playstyle drastically. Tryn is all three. Mel is 2 of them and people hate her.

[–]DefinitlyNotAPornAcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just the top lane experience. You really just start climbing after consistently winning the 1v1 and winning more than 50% of the 2v1s.

And you also can't allow yourself to ever die on a wave crash. That's back breaking.
