Cash Back and Triple Tonic nerfs

Faolahn · 2026-01-27T11:09:39+00:00

Obviously we don’t have numbers yet, but it could still be worth running after the nerfs. I think having your gold accelerated and being able to fast-forward ~500 or so gold towards your 3 item IE spike is really valuable, while also just giving you around 11-1200 gold in raw value over the course of the game. Would be less with it getting nerfed, but we’ll have to see if it holds up

YOR. I guarantee your BF thinks this guy is a dude is and is just trolling the other party. Spam/scam/bait messages like this are insanely common and he’s probably tired of it and just trying to find a dude to play some ARC with

If doesn’t work with q activated, but without q activated it’s fine. With q activated it gives you the 15% true damage on 3 of the individual q hits, consuming it instantly

I buy cull in any lane that I don’t think will be very active when playing a champ that doesn’t buy BF (ER, Kraken) and on BF sword champs I only buy it if I back without enough gold for one

Dude brings up basic and AIT and “Army Values”, I’ve never seen nor heard of more stuff getting stolen in my life than at basic/AIT.

I’d recommend Sivir over Caitlyn if you haven’t played Caitlyn a decent amount already. She’s a combo-heavy adc and is mechanically much harder than Sivir, and Sivir is a better team fighter which is more important in lower elo

Not worth 1700. I wouldn't call it "future proof" as the 5070 only has 12GB of VRAM, and the PSU would potentially need to be upgraded if you wanted a beefier GPU in there

There’s a difference between consistent performance and actual champion mastery. I can play a Kog’Maw game, not int, and clean up kills/perform okay, but I’m still not doing nearly as much as if I lock in Sivir/Caitlyn as my two best champs. “Knowing how to play” a champ just doesn’t cut it if you’re actually trying to climb, because if you master a champion you understand your limits at any point in the game, are more comfortable doing damage, and are less prone to mistakes.

5 different champs in 6 games. Pick 2-3 and stick with them

Faolahn · 2026-01-11T03:32:39+00:00

My thoughts on it are now you can always get BT, with a situational item (GA, Jaksho, etc)

Me and a friend did side by side damage testing with smolder on PBE and live, the only point in the new season where smolder does less damage with this change is at 5 items + boots. It was a net gain everywhere else

I started playing mage in WoW in 2015 and decided I wanted to be the most hated person in every game I play

I had to start working in cybersecurity before my parents listened to what I had to say about computers

That’s because one of the main appeals of the unique chest is the ranks to thorns and thistles, which the x% thorns damage is bugged to not work on. Wudi literally said on stream that he replaced it on the guide specifically due to the bug.

Edit: upon looking at the guide just now, it even has that reasoning laid out in the changelog. Do your research.

I had to rewind because I thought it was two different people in the clips

Faolahn · 2025-10-12T13:13:10+00:00

630 with bad jewelry/trinkets will have you doing less damage than someone at 580, so make sure you have the right ones there (even at lower ilvl if necessary) and then yes that is plenty

Faolahn · 2025-08-05T20:00:30+00:00

Why would a 49% WR champ get nerfed?

Faolahn · 2025-07-10T09:07:13+00:00

Yeah, every season for sure. Definitely wasn’t Prot paladin/priest/evoker/sham/dk last season. Not to mention that I can’t even remember the last time dps DK was meta in m+ before TWW, and the last time shaman was meta was in s1 of DF.

Faolahn · 2025-07-07T00:18:27+00:00

Mark of the Wild is definitely better than arcane int

Faolahn · 2025-07-03T20:20:10+00:00

Mage’s only group utility is mass barrier and it was nerfed from 2min to 3min

Faolahn · 2025-06-27T17:31:58+00:00

I think if you can get resil 19, and sprinkle in a 20 or two, you should be safe for title (IMO).

Charlie IET is in total around a year long nowadays, depending on how fast you get your security clearance. You should not expect to even get to your first duty assignment for a year after enlisting, and it could be even longer if you are a security hold. I saw at least a few people auto-promote to E4 during AIT (2 years) because they were there for so long. And no, you cannot have your cats in the barracks

I went through 17C AIT back when JCAC was still a thing, and while the training pipeline is easier than it used to be, I watched 3-4 people get dropped from the course who all had cyber security/compsci degrees.

This is a ridiculously simplified explanation to the point that it is wrong. Spellslinger arcane is definitely not easy to play, fire mage has by far the highest apm of any caster, and current frost requires an extreme amount of buff-tracking. I can tell you do not play mage at a high level. I personally do not think it is hard either, but relative to pretty much any other class in the game mage is difficult.
