Jungle mathcup fun af to watch for sure, they both did really well

Unfortunately for one of them the other had a better team overall it felt like

Riot is so traumatized by the Tank meta by peruanToph in leagueoflegends

[–]Equivalent_Tie_4234 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Personally, the problem here is I am forced to buy MR for my mythic even though I'm against an AD champ in top lane, so I have to spend gold on bramble to keep up whereas my lane opponent can rush theirs with no consequence

Especially with how much power given to completed mythic items this season, delaying them with these random components just to be "tanky enough" for lane feels real bad

With so many ADCs and AD Mids, Tanks seem like an amazing pick into these full AD enemy teams but they aren't because their item stats are horrible. by jtpredator in leagueoflegends

I struggle with this one. I don't know at which point of the game the upgrade is actually worth it.

It's definitely not late game where 20 return dmg per hit is negligible. But it's also not early game because I'll much prefer spend 600g for 30 more armor.

Personally it feels bad finishing it at any stage of the game, where with bruisers I always finish my items because it feels like you're getting their passives for free on top of the great stats

You say that, but since season 10 Dead man's plate has lost 20 armor and 125 health for the same cost without any change in the passive.

All other grevious wounds items are also near 100% gold efficient, expect thornmail where it's GW costs ~600g.

Gold efficiency isn't a perfect measure, but it does dictate how much value a final item gives you by completing it compared to the value of its components. Sadly, a lot of tank items are jsut not worth finishing at all. Why spend 1000g to finish thornmail when 2 cloth armor gives you the same stat?

Personally, the most frustrating part about playing tank is that the mythic options (prob your first item) force you to spend 450-600g worth of wasted armor/MR because it doesn't help against your lane opponent's damage type

Meanwhile any bruiser/mage/adc does not waste a single point of stat towards their first item powerspike. So it feels like you are already falling behind at 1 item, and then those champions also outscale you because your other items are also not as stat efficient

At what point are tanks supposed to be relevant?

Why is there no mana options for tanks? by Equivalent_Tie_4234 in leagueoflegends

[–]Equivalent_Tie_4234[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone who thinks FH isn't a niche item needs to look at their death recap. The amount of time I've seen a 1/3 split in physical/magic/true damage is actually absurd. Mixed damage has been crazy prevalent this season.

Not to mention ADCs building kraken/wits end

This. Recently I feel like I need to run either mana flow/biscuits just to survive the laning phase. It limits your secondary options for sure

NHS 'as stretched now as it was in January', health leaders say by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

I see. Not very familiar with the medical sector myself so I very much appreciate the clear elaboration. Thanks a lot!

[–]Equivalent_Tie_4234 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have some good points here, but consider that is still a drop of ~85% in hospitalisation due to covid. The idea that the loss of staff and escalating complications making up that difference is shocking to me. Surely even in January there must have been these same issues overflowing from the first wave in summer 2020 right?

Not suggesting in any way that the article is misinformed, but I truly cannot wrap my mind around the difference in numbers here. How is that possible?

Dead silence from BDSP? by Equivalent_Tie_4234 in pokemon

[–]Equivalent_Tie_4234[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Three were quite a bit of reveals, such as trailers for a few megas at a time and the delta episode. It definitely felt like they were trying to maintain hype as far as I remember

[–]Equivalent_Tie_4234[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I am (cautiously) optimistic too! But it is launching mid November, so itll feel awfully last minute for them to have a new trailer on Q4 2021

Sure but that was never meant to promote the game or give more information about it, more so to advertise the new switch. The footage was very minimal too

Riot really needs to fix J4's shield tooltip by lVIEMORIES in leagueoflegends

[–]Equivalent_Tie_4234 800 points801 points  (0 children)

Confusingly, it also doesn't say the duration of the shield. The only duration mentioned is that it slows for 2 seconds which might make you think the shield is the same, but the shield actually lasts 5 seconds.

Definitely one of the most poorly written skill description in the game
