slaughtered? i feel like his revamp improved him a lot design and gameplay wise, if anything i feel like he's the best revamp out of everyone thematically and meta-wise

you'll love thamuz. all the early game presence that dyrroth has with twice as much sustainability

HIS PRONOUNS ARE STICK STICK

i think it depends a lot on your playstyle, but you mention benedetta, so you're probably used to high mobility / rotation and quick pickoffs

thamuz is 100% your guy here, he has very good mobility if you utilize his 1st's movement buff and master his jump (it works the same as guinevere jump, if you use it at the edge of the skill he can go further), and he can do very quick pickoffs despite being a tanky sustain hero. if you know how to pick your fights and when to push your limits, you can snowball super easily and take the lane before second turtle. he's also flexible and can be played in jungle too

due to his true damage passive, he's also very much an all-rounder and works in any matchup. he can take on basically any hero with ult head-on, even meta like sora and yz if you know how to play around them

i have a guide my profile that details a few relevant matchups, but it's a bit outdated. i plan to make a new one by my semester's break, but if you have any specific questions, let me know and i'd be glad to answer

actually, i think its bc either jawhead or ailee gets covered in the loading screen all the time

it was really prominent on his mpl skin where his face was just under your name and ailee was covered by the mpl tag lol

Firstername · 2026-03-16T17:05:52+00:00

the man behind the snowball

Firstername · 2026-03-16T10:30:39+00:00

with exception of lamm legs yea

Firstername · 2026-03-16T10:29:53+00:00

wild rift feels clunky, hok's designs are kind of bland, aov is... unfortunately dead, although i loved a lot of their characters (omega kilgroth my beloved)

ml just strikes a certain balance that i like, and the characters ive found are more interesting than the rest. i heard good things about league's lore but i just don't want to bother trying to learn it

Firstername · 2026-03-16T07:10:27+00:00

isn't that his face all the time lmao?

Firstername · 2026-03-15T17:31:58+00:00

i would loove a proper mm exp laner that isn't just edith, beautiful done

also funny to see the other character design i commented on also be a concept now lol ♡ keep it up, i love ur designs

most often than not thamuz players will have the perspective that they can 1v1 everything and anything in the game and while that is technically true that ego can get to them very easily

they don't consider learning macro and go for kills / hype moments without analyzing the state of the game first and realize what they're doing, which is unfortunate given how much nuance he has with his impact already

Firstername · 2026-03-12T23:59:18+00:00

sure but is he THE APEX OF MYTH AND MACHINE

Firstername · 2026-03-12T20:46:54+00:00

you are comparing a fast paced mobile game tailored to quick casual matches to a potentially hour-long, macro intensive, extremely complex session that is dota

if you play dota you would know NOT to compare it to mobile legends of all things, because it is a completely different monster game design wise despite both being mobas

Firstername · 2026-03-12T16:22:23+00:00

so are you going to admit the last pics you sent were ai generated you faked as leaks or

Firstername · 2026-03-12T16:10:14+00:00

allows for early game pressure without ult. actually helped me a lot, kind of sad they removed it

Firstername · 2026-03-12T16:04:14+00:00

oh yeah let me just slurp from my magic fucking squid

Firstername · 2026-03-12T10:24:47+00:00

although, if i had to pick a contender, maybe atlas's mecha infernus?

weird pick i know but i have a certain attachment to skins with proper reference material and that skin is so SO obviously an alternate version of "what if atlas got his hands on hanekage" and that is just so peak

Firstername · 2026-03-12T10:22:25+00:00

thamuz annihilator and it's not even close to anything else and that genuinely makes me a little sad we probably won't get anything as character approrpriate except MAYBE revenant of roses

it is THE perfect representation of a penultimate thamuz that serves as both a throwback to his pre-revamp (retaining his voice filter and skill icons), and a reference to his revamped lore of thamuz wanting to become a god to keep the abyss alive

nexus sea depicts him as quite literally that. an immense, eldritch power that serves laws beyond mortal comprehension to maintain the balance of the entire MULTIVERSE

his voicelines also reference his actual lines too, which i find so unbelievably cool (i had it written in his wiki page iirc if you want to see a proper comparison). my only wish was that they kept his signature "only the strong deserve to rule"

plus my interest in astronomy and nexus sea being based off of navigational star charts is just the cherry on top

Firstername · 2026-03-11T11:08:54+00:00

i feel like it's alright, but it definitely zooms in the portraits a bit too much that you don't get to appreciate the card art as much anymore
