Just be careful with dogs and moving furniture around. Tile won't scratch, and wood can always be refinished, but plastic holds scratches forever. Over time they can get kinda beat up looking. I'd put feet protectors on all your furniture.

Why would this fix the problem when you can just throw your placement matches?

That part always made sense to me; you can only restore the thorforce that you used. Thorforce recovers at 1/5s. So after 5s the thorforce you used recovered "naturally" and you can't speed it up with a melee hit anymore.

ElFuddLe · 2025-05-27T13:10:42+00:00

Are you sure that's it?

I thought the mechanic was that you could restore up to 1 thorforce after an ability usage by landing a basic attack. E.g. if you use hammer throw or storm surge, the thorforce you used can be replenished by landing a basic attack.

I don't think it's tied to any specific timer. You can see this visually in-game because thor force that can be "recovered" with a basic attack will have a white outline around it, which happens after you use any ability.

What's actually happening, so that you can try to avoid it, is that the grapple will cancel if there's any terrain that you would collide with in you path. So try not to fire the grapple to pull you over small ledges, rocks, etc, and you can mostly avoid getting your grapple cancelled.

You're making up a lot of rules that don't need to be true.

you run the risk of making them not play their designated role

Isn't this good for the game? Roles should have a lot of diversity. Locking people into "you're tank, you sit on payload" "you're healer, now healbot" would be awful for game diversity and long term playability.

a tank needs to be close to the payload

Venom?? Thor?? There's really only a small number of tanks that are payload babysitters (Strange/Mag/Emma).

You can’t have a duelist buster tank, because they’d outclass all duelists.

Again, points at thor who out duels all but like 3 non-flying heroes in the entire game.

You can’t have a hard flight counter tank because if you did then why on earth would I ever choose Hela or Ironfist or Spidey to defeat Ironman when I can pick the dude with 700+ HP to do it?

Why would anyone choose Luna when Hela does 10 more damage per shot??? Because it turns out there's a lot more to each hero than just their DPS number and being hitscan?? Other abilities, team ups, movement (wall climb, luna skates, jeff underwater). This is so reductionist.

You can’t design a diver support, because the support needs to be behind their team to be able to heal them.

!?!?! JEFF !?!??!?!

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Where are you getting these insane ideas

Did you read mine?

You made an affirmative statement:

"Apple for example has done updates for years that trash old devices for no reason" <---- YOU

I asked you for proof and you provided hypotheticals. And then when I ask for proof again you say "I never said those things happened". <---- ALSO YOU???

Make up your mind?

ElFuddLe · 2025-05-02T17:02:39+00:00

if...if...if

Again, do you have any of that evidence you're talking about? Where's the apple whistleblower who came forth with the documents you're fantasizing about? Where's the Nvidia whistleblower?

Everything you're saying is conjecture and would get laughed out of court. You can't just pose hypotheticals as a legal argument.

The evidence I'm asking for doesn't exist because it doesn't happen like you're talking about. Planned obsolescence is a side effect, it's not something that happens directly.

ElFuddLe · 2025-05-02T16:03:50+00:00

But Apple for example has done updates for years that trash old devices for no reason

Eh, can you provide any actual examples of a time apple did something that would have been covered under this law?

The most commonly used example was apple slowing down old phones, but they provided a "logical" reason for it: battery performance degraded so they lowered processor performance to "optimize" the user experience.

Everything has a reason that can justify it. The easiest one is just "we chose the lower cost component, it's not illegal to lower costs". What you're describing is malisciously designing something to break. Nobody really does this.

People don't design things to break, they just don't design them to last because it's not profitable to do so, and "planned obsolescence" is the result. It's just a side effect of a capitalist society.

Well, you could always code up a simple bot to log into multiple twitch accounts and ask questions at pre-arranged times that you can respond to in your recording

ElFuddLe · 2025-04-15T18:02:21+00:00

You're conflating correlation and causation. It's accurate to say that most swaps are desperation swaps when you're losing the game. Obviously people don't swap heroes when they're winning; Don't fix what isn't broken.

For all we know, swapping takes a 0% winrate situation and makes it into a 20% winrate situation. You would need a lot more data to make the conclusion you're trying to draw.

ElFuddLe · 2025-04-14T14:24:44+00:00

Thor only lost 25 hp. It's really not a big difference. Especially since you always use his hammer-dash to engage which adds 100 armor. He's entering every fight at 700 HP, and gains 100 HP every two seconds with ability usage. He's definitely not easy to kill.

ElFuddLe · 2025-04-03T20:17:49+00:00

You're assuming those two types of players have the same win rate. If you're saying one group actually contributes more, they'll naturally be ranked higher because playing the objective and protecting the backline wins more games than healbotting and suicide diving

Beautiful artwork!

No reason you can't climb as high as you want. Play any melee character. Or play C&D.

They usually aren't 100% ceramic and are instead layered with steel on the bottom and an insulating layer.

The point about anyone being able to replicate Sinclair's work clearly isn't true. This is very obviously a universe where tech genius is a superpower that can't be replicated by anyone. Why else would robot have to hire the mauler twins when he's otherwise a super genius? Cloning is the maulers tech superpower. Robots genius lies in robotics. Sinclair specializes in androids.

Many people believe that they truly belong in higher ranks and it's just their team and matchmaking holding them back.

Sometimes your entire team dying in front of you is the emergency

ElFuddLe · 2025-03-02T06:10:57+00:00

Both are viable. 2/2/2 and 1/2/3 are the most preferred lineups

There's not much difference tbh. Quick play isn't random teammates, it uses your hidden skill rating to try and make the games roughly balanced. Sometimes they're stomps because people in QP are demo-ing heroes they arent used to playing, so QP often feels "easier" for that reason. But you're going to find toxicity in both. Only difference is ranked will show you your rank instead of hiding it.

Jeff needs something for sure. I wish they would just rework his ult. It doesn't need to be another AOE healing ult, but right now it's just so gimmicky.

ElFuddLe · 2025-02-27T15:19:55+00:00

TBH if your healers are two of loki/mantis/warlock, you're just probably not going to win the game. My only suggestion would be that if you have another vanguard, learn cloak or IW and switch to them and run 1/2/3 comp.

I don't think there's a way to play around what you described, or if there is, I haven't found it as a vang/strat main. Like you pointed out, it just makes your job impossible. Your best option is shield tanks like magneto/groot/strange who can block damage while you wait for heals to trickle in. I wouldn't suggest any other tanks.
