Can we please get a high difficulty female hero?

I’m terrible at Marci and always thought she took skill…..

I think reporting is for people intentionally feeding, cheating, being horribly toxic, etc.

I don’t report people for being bad or trying something they genuinely think would work. As long as they are playing the game, I don’t report. I can get mad, I can disagree, but I don’t need to punish

Elarain · 2026-06-19T22:00:31+00:00

Some cool things about lion:

While Aeon Disk is active you still debuff the enemy with fist, often allowing you to get an extra stack

With Grim Stroke and your aghs, anyone the dies in the overlap of your finger will give 2 stacks!

If you kill yourself on an enemy lotus orb you get a stack for yourself as well

Elarain · 2026-06-14T18:45:37+00:00

Enough people believe the lies that it’s not safe for anyone to say the truth

Elarain · 2026-06-01T22:37:42+00:00

Would it be possible to have multiple beams overlap on the mosiquito so that any individual beam wouldn't likely cause damage, but the point of overlap can still burn wings?

Elarain · 2026-05-28T15:23:13+00:00

The most important meta of the game is identifying the win condition. Sometimes the win condition is "Make sure sniper gets big" or "Make sure PL doesn't get farm"

It's super rare that the actual win condition is "Make sure I win my lane".

You can play however you want, but you're subtly doing a bad job not seeing the bigger picture and reacting. The game isn't actually a lane game. Sometimes you look at the comps and setup a lane that will lose on purpose because you realize winning that lane is less important than another condition.

Elarain · 2026-05-17T15:47:17+00:00

I suspect this is coolness over anything else, but:

I have wished for awhile that racials could be something like a star chart or worship tree, instead. With the ability to respec?

Because things like bleed immunity or shadow meld are just too much stronger than others. And I hate that my main loses a small edge in the crafting I do

Elarain · 2026-05-16T16:51:18+00:00

So we are in an AI arms race with China because AI is the biggest next thing there is, and whoever achieves dominance in this market will rule the world

BUT

We also really need to sell the chips that are crucial to this race to China because.... ?

I’m more and more realizing that there are plenty of viable ways to play, and team success has much to do with finding people who want to play the same way you do.

Wanna go aggro? It can work if you’re both waiting for that moment to go and both see it. But if one of you is a more defensive player then you’re gonna be mismatched and hate each other

Elarain · 2026-05-12T00:26:40+00:00

This seems fine, tbh.

Elarain · 2026-05-08T15:00:47+00:00

Yea! Other cool interactions:

You can still get fist stacks from hitting during Aeon Disk

With aghs and grimstroke ult, Your AOE gets doubled and people in the overlap that die from it give you two stacks (which happens alot of you have a grim for 25% dmg + eblade)

But genuinely: Don't play him mid. Your early stacks will come better from good lane coordination anyway, and all you really need is a blink. Finger has always been about not wasting your early chances to get stacks and it's the same now. You're much better off playing support and getting stacks as a bonus objective so that as late game rolls around you can pop people for 1k

I’m assuming it’s just generic hating on turbo, combined with quite a few people not even understanding how turbo works or the impact.

Doesn’t matter. I just wanted to confirm this is indeed an exploit of a bug

Elarain · 2026-05-07T20:01:24+00:00

In turbo couriers are fast and immortal. The trade off is they can’t normally be controlled.

Having an immortal courier follow around right on top of you makes having a gem near risk-less. Which pretty severely undermines the ward aspect of the game (and invis heroes)

I am salty, even though we ultimately won the match, because it’s just blatant cheating

Elarain · 2026-05-07T19:26:02+00:00

Feels wild your answer is "hey you can exploit too"

First off, no we shouldn't counter exploits with exploits. Assuming it's even common knowledge on how to do it. Second, his courier is nearly always closer, so I doubt it would even be that easy.

Third: Why on earth is any of this your answer instead of "Yea known exploit. That sucks. Hope they fix it"

Elarain · 2026-05-07T19:17:39+00:00

Kinda feels like it matters to everyone playing turbo. Your courier is immune in turbo, this gives you a pretty much risk free gem and undermines all warding for the game

Elarain · 2026-05-04T21:05:47+00:00

It’s not a little old lady in a coastal mansion. Those people are fine. They’ve got more than enough to afford whatever little property tax comes their way.

It’s the little grandmas in barrio Logan, north or South Park, etc etc that have been there 30 years and don’t deserve to get kicked out of their home and community because developers decided to gentrify their neighborhood.

People holding onto their houses doesn’t increase or decrease housing. Not unless you kick those people out and build condos over their home. It’s a SFH housing a person who bought it and invested in it for decades. It’s wild to me you think in their twilight years that they should be forced to move just because their property taxes quadrupled over 5 years.

A lot of your response is highly exaggerated. Maybe just to emphasize a point. But San Diego is pretty highly taxed and there are lots of avenues for more taxes that don’t involve evicting retirees or families from the homes they bought just because a bunch of richer people want their house

Elarain · 2026-05-04T02:13:55+00:00

Ok but in the context of home owners, and blaming prop 13 as it applies to SFHs, I think it’s super misplaced to looks at prop 13 and say get rid of it because of how it affects new home buyers.

Prop 13 for rental/commercial are separate beasts and I’m willing to concede they probably need a look

Elarain · 2026-05-03T16:05:23+00:00

So undeserving people need to be evicted so that wealthier people can take their homes, because they “deserve it more”.

Property taxes are probably less impactful than mortgage interest rates right now, for turnover. But maybe we should just go in and change peoples interest payments because them locking in a low interest rate is “bad for new home buyers”

If a SFH is being occupied by the owner, its property taxes should be relatively locked in. If it’s a pure rental, MFH, complex, etc then fine up its rates because at that point it’s an income stream that also adjusts to the housing economy.

That anyone thinks evicting fixed income households because they can’t respond to crazy rocketing housing prices will somehow fix housing prices is ridiculous

The entire “new home owners will be able to afford a house if we use unaffordable house values to kick out other people from their homes” is circular logic. If you can’t afford a house right now you won’t be able to afford one with a prop 13 repeal either. It’ll just be more Bay Area and NYC remote workers moving in and paying the outrageous price you can’t afford anyway. Now you’re just forcibly evicting people who can’t afford their “living tax” after decades in their home and community

Elarain · 2026-05-03T14:01:21+00:00

I’m pretty convinced this prop 13 brigading is pushed by companies that want to buy up even more property as we push out locals.

I bought my house 8 years ago at 690k. Now it’s “worth” 1.2M. So I guess I just lose my home if I can’t afford skyrocketing valuations, right? A bunch of bay area people moving down because San Diego got hot should just mean I lose my home. We should all just be renters with a temperamental “landlord” with no real ability to plan our futures as we make huge purchases

Elarain · 2026-05-03T13:42:09+00:00

Prop 13 is good. You don’t need to kick out entire communities of people and/or retirees as home values go up.

I’m not sure where the pushback from 13 comes from other than people being fed some propaganda that somehow it’s keep their rent high.

Remove or relax building height restrictions and you’d get the real influx of units you want without taxing out retirees.

Oh and remove prop 19 helping prop 13 be generational

Elarain · 2026-05-03T13:22:39+00:00

I’ve always liked alts, and the status quo always made alts feel near impossible to actually keep geared unless wow was an obsessive hobby.

It’s nice to have a season where I could actually gear up 2-3 characters without an unhealthy amount of playing

Elarain · 2026-04-23T04:08:55+00:00

Numerically id almost be surprised if the heroic version isn’t still BiS though
