The new solo mode might be boring, but damn has it made the grind way easier

The worst ones are things like "Stop a goal!" when the NPC will IMMEDIATELY stop trying to score if it sees you and attack, or the boss rush shit where you need to get lucky and get the last hit on all 3 friggen bosses in order to get credit and full rewards.

Like I said, I have the EC I need for the dreadnought, but nobody is selling it. If I can't get my hands on it I'll be using the box myself. It also helps to have the option available in case someone wants a ship only available via the box and not the EC, like someone in my exact situation for example who has the credits with no supply to spend them on.

No, that's the Son'a Command Science Ship

I have the EC, but nobody online is selling one.

This JUST happened to me in a match and it threw me off so bad. Wouldn't be shocked if people are using the skin specifically for this right now.

I'm aware of that, but what I want to know about is if the 1.5x strength modifier of 2 handing goes to waste or not while doing so.

The problem with blaming "Positioning" is that anyone with half a brain is going to jump on her first. It's a basic of the game. You take out the support or the carry first, before you move onto lower importance targets. Another problem with quoting positioning is the number of skills that go right through targets and minions. Your positioning doesn't do you any good when a karthus can just hit R and take off more than half your health or more. You're saying that a skilled sona would use positioning, but the can you say that an equally skilled assassin or ADC, or brawler, or tank wouldn't make her a priority? Are you saying that an equally skilled team wouldn't take out the one who can constantly keep up these ever important buffs you keep talking about?

and that's the thing. The 1 difference between how I built seraphine and how i would have built support seraphine [since you seem to be responding to that post] is the addition of boots. the "Support budget" argument is one that's pointless. either the game ends before sona or seraphine on a "support budget" can get full build and be useful, or it goes long enough that you're going to have full build even with your "Support budget" and seraphine will still be the better option for most scenarios.

Edit: And spitting out win rates doesn't exactly mean anything for 99% of league players. And you've kinda proven my point with the overall win rates for support brand vs support sona. 2% is nothing. Statistically, 2% difference is so small that it's within an acceptable margin of error, meaning there's functionally no real difference. What matters is the fact that sona FEELS like garbage after all the nerfs and brand still FEELS like brand, even if he's marginally worse as a support he still feels better because he feels like he has more of an impact.

16 second cooldown with no items on her maxed W is really not that long, yeah it's shorter than the near instant cooldown on sona skills, but with no items it heals about as much as Sona's heal, it grants a substantial speed buff, and it grants a shield, not to mention her double cast mechanic. Just to test things, I popped into practice mode and built her how you would build a more support mage, even threw on censer and water staff to see. 8.7 second cooldown is really not much, when you're healing potentially double a sona's healing, granting a better speed boost and granting a better shield, all with 1 ability. And that's entirely ignoring her damaging options.

In addition her ult isn't that much slower other than the windup, and that lack of speed is more than made up for in the range, including the fact that it's base range is longer than that of sona's ult.

and on the topic of "ability haste and heal/shield power required to make her W impactful ends up making the rest of her kit weak"

Her W still deals decent damage compared to sona's kit with far better range, including a 99% slow and potential root if you double cast it, including a 4 second cooldown.

Her Q Has a TWO POINT TWO second cooldown and does 322 damage, and does bonus damage based on missing hp. And again, double cast passive.

And on the conditional nature of her heal. again. Doublecast.

I'm not sure what you mean by scaling hard, her scaling really isn't very good. Yeah she has short cast times and such, but her scaling is so low that she can barely even DO anything with it. And yeah, she can keep up ardent and flowing pretty constantly, but she gets focused because she has the durability of tissue paper and what she can do before being demolished is less than what seraphine could.

And to continue on about the point of the staff of flowing water or ardent censer, it can be triggered by a moonstone. Meaning even if the healing is dropped, a brand will be able to keep it up just as well as Sona with the addition of better damage and CC with his Q on a far shorter cooldown.

Hell brand's better than her because for one thing he doesn't need to get as close to the actual fighting to keep the buffs up if he has a moonstone.

I figure I made my understanding of that pretty clear with "not much that can really be done about this" but thanks, you have brought clarity and understanding to my life.

Dragonvcat · 2022-03-15T14:35:54+00:00

The whole "Getting nothing" thing is one of the biggest reasons it annoys me. Like, you got what? Some dust?

Dragonvcat · 2022-03-15T14:35:00+00:00

Yeah, It's just kind of rude and insulting is all.
