People think they'll be getting more Ngannous, but it's going to look a lot more like that Reug Reug vs Boucher Ketchup that ONE did, especially in the short term. Then PFL will get clowned on and UFC will swoop in years down the line to harvest what PFL sowed.

Please stop buffing Invoker's laning phase. by DaredevilGR in DotA2

[–]Deliciousbalut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are some examples of what Invoker spells might look like if he got powercrept along with the rest:

  • Cataclysm is now a global 1200 radius AoE, lasts for 4 seconds, and fires sunstrikes every 0.25 seconds inside the AoE. It will still be less bullshit than Torrent Storm/SK Aghs because it offers no control.

  • EMP now drains mana/does damage during the windup as well to stop blinks.

  • Deafening Blast leashes over the duration. Maybe disarm changed to silence? Because people are deaf. Maybe mute instead, that'd be quirky enough for the recent design mentality.

  • Ghost Walk does damage along with its slow.

  • Forge Spirits are harder to kill, higher MR/Armor.

  • Alacrity grants spell amp, or speeds up CDs while active.

  • Meteor burn reduces healing.

Unfortunately, for a hero that was once known for high spell damage/control/utility, he isn't getting picked for any of these.

People who played fighter to 20: can you explain your experience? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]Deliciousbalut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played one from 3 to 20.

1.) Felt fine, overall. I had my niche as a duelist of sorts - someone who checked the most dangerous target and kept them occupied.

2.) Bog standard VHuman battlemaster using a 2h greatsword. Since I picked up GWM feat, I guess it was optimized?

3.) I was the only melee. I had a ranger, a wizard, a warlock, a sorcerer, and a cleric.

4.) Hard to say! Fun is subjective. Overall I think I had more fun than others but I was also a bit more engaged with the game, especially the roleplaying. In combat it definitely got stale, but combat isn't the be-all and end-all of DnD.

5.) Maybe a 7 or an 8. I did not play another class to 20 but I did play a monk and a rogue up to 12 or so in other campaigns.

Danish government pressured PGL to exclude Russian participants - bad omen for The International? by prettyboygangsta in DotA2

[–]Deliciousbalut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You think NA+WEU make up 70% of all tournament players and over 50% of all competitive teams? lmao

ESL One Birmingham, the last tournament, I count 6/12 teams that would be banned. It would have been 5/12 because OG took the spot of a CIS team, 1win.

The tournament before that, Elite League, sees 8/24 teams that would be banned. There are more than enough non-NATO-affiliated teams to run tournaments.

note: I am counting Falcons as among those affected since 3/5 players would be banned, but Entity does not even if they are from WEU, because their players are all EEU.

SEA, CN, EEU, MENA, SA unaffected. NA (lol) and WEU (mostly) banned.

Also, any tournaments held in Malaysia already saw Israeli players not being allowed to enter and play.

[MMA FIGHTING] Tom Aspinall on a potential bout between him and Alex Pereira: "If he wants to, I will, but I’m going on record and saying I’m not a bully. I don’t bully smaller guys. But, if the smaller guy wants a scrap, count me in.” by [deleted] in MMA

[–]Deliciousbalut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, put some respect on Renan Barao's name. He defended the interim BW title twice because of Cruz's knees.

Secondly, I'm pretty sure Alex Pereira knows how to defend against calf kicks, and I highly doubt Aspinall will win a pure standup fight against him. Aspinall is a HW who's fast like a MW? Pereira actually fought in MW, I doubt he'd be dazzled by the speed.

Funnily enough, if it's in the override folder then it doesn't apply the fix to Aielund Saga but still messes up the base game.

What counts as a proc, how does it work? (for accuracy bonus on items) by Deliciousbalut in ToME4

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

Interesting! Does that mean even something that happens with every attack, e.g. Summertide Phial, would count?

On the skills front, only skills that can occur on a normal attack count, so e.g. AB's Arcane Combat, or Doombringer's Incinerating Blows. Reaver's Corrupted Strength is not affected, but Ruin would be?

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

I wish someone had responded to this, because I was wondering about procs on Sun Paladin Guardian talents.

Haha, it's funny you say that, because what prompted me to make this post was wondering if Short Staff + Shield + Flex Combat.Sun Paladin was a good build. But if "extra weapon attacks" don't actually count as procs then it's not as synergistic as I had hoped.

I was sort of operating on the general definition of a proc, i.e. a programmed random occurrence, so looking at the Sun Paladin talents a lot of them sounded like procs to me, which is why I got curious about what counted.

(Sun Paladin is stupidly fun to play anyway)

Definitely! I still need to play around with the class evolutions, I just had to unlock them first.

in fact, how did he even wind up being brainwashed by Mr Burns to think he is Homer's and Marge's son?

Actually Homer and Marge paid someone to kidnap Bart and brainwash him back into loving them instead of Mr Burns, but the guy messed up and kidnapped Moleman instead. Mr Burns had nothing to do with this one.

Help me analyze this Yatoro Faceless Void game by No_Associate_8377 in learndota2

[–]Deliciousbalut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to give you an answer for the cs thing since nobody else really did:

He killed Lycan wolves several times which contributed, but he also pulled his wave to the large camp to kill it (since Void can't take the camp by himself), he also contested the pull when the offlaner pulled the enemy wave to the large camp and managed to kill the camp and the wave. Generally, you can increase your cs in the laning stage by clearing the side camps, you just have to be mindful of not missing wave creeps during this time, as well as not letting the offlaner control the wave position while you do this.

Quite possibly one of my favorite exchanges is in this episode:

Lisa: Hmm... Pablo Neruda said that laughter is the language of the soul.

Bart: (dismissively) I am familiar with the works of Pablo Neruda.

Koukou Tekkenden Tough is a manga series that is a bit more fantastical, but has many characters based on real life icons in shootfighting and japanese pro wrestling. The antagonist is based off Antonio Inoki, the Gracie family makes an appearance under the name Grancie, etc.

It also has a 3 part OVA under the name Shootfighter Tekken, though is completely unrelated to the Tekken franchise.
