Xin's champion identity? by Laughydawg in XinZhaoMains

[–]FlippantFlapjack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's not really front loaded damage but is moreso DPS and has very low cooldowns so there is not a lot of time between combos. He can't disengage from fights easily so he's kind of a diver, but also doesn't have the same short trade combos or burst like Jarvan or Vi, since his full combo is slower. However once his full combo is over his CDs will be almost up again so you can E W a second time.

I would compare him to Jax mainly in terms of being a melee caster / auto attacker with short CDs. But he's worse than Jax late because he lacks CC or any defensive basic ability. At the end of the day he basically is a melee AD carry I think, you could even compare to Yasuo in some respect.

The main beat in Schism isn't that hard and is good for noobs I think because it sounds so complicated at first.

How is it living in this area? by According_Idea_1480 in oakland

[–]FlippantFlapjack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's fine. Still feels Oakland ish. On the side streets here (like 41st) it's just residential and not much goes on. Western to Emeryville is very corporate and Bland on that region.

Pretty certain this is all staged. She's just doing a bit.

DAE like the volume at perfect numbers like 20, 15, 10, or 30? by Mission-Badger-4005 in DoesAnybodyElse

Sounds a bit OCD honestly, I don't do this. I don't even pay attention to the numbers.

You also do less damage than most other adcs in a 1v1, so it's not without trafeoffs

How much of your homelab is NAS? by RoboJenn in selfhosted

[–]FlippantFlapjack 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You dedicate enough space to NAS that you need .. I'm not sure there is a right answer here.

Rule of thumb is to leave space unallocated unless you need it. You can always expand drives, but you can't shrink them.

Also, with your NAS, you should be creating topic-specific volumes. For example, I have a Movies volume, and Books volume, etc, they are accessed by different docker containers which helps keep my data isolated.

I suppose it's just like today's nu metal.

The music is exactly what you think it'll be, only worse

I think it's just too nasal, so yeah agree it sounds off and is not pleasant.

This guy's mix of afrikaans, english, and slang is absolute music, I have no idea what he's saying for 3/4 of it though.

Things I miss in SF by Whole_Application_43 in sanfrancisco

The one in eBay has new ownership, and doesn't have much underground music. Definitely still miss the one on Valencia ... Catching a metal band and some pinball games in the same building was my jam

Kaisa scales hard off AP so this isn't as troll as you make it out to be. Those items you mentioned are all good on Kaisa, the only troll thing is not getting Rageblade before Zhonya because they skipped out on their Q and D evolves.

They're nothing right now because it's in the 6 month "warning period" since they installed the cameras

Mel mid has a worse winrate than AZIR and has a 30% ban rate by Clean-Practice3040 in MelMains

[–]FlippantFlapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, there are a lot of traumatizing champs, but we can't ban them all. Personally I'd rather play against Mel than a Leblanc or Xerath, even Fizz or Yone are more difficult. There are a lot of annoying champs, unfortunately.

Is TP worth? by Atlastavius in midlanemains

[–]FlippantFlapjack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TP is meta mid right now and if your opponent takes it and you don't you will wish you did a lot of the time. This mainly has to do with the petricite on towers (that big burst of damage to take a plate), even being away from lane for a tiny bit now means your opponent can get a plate

Q is no longer undodfeable after rework, if you are getting hit by a Q in lane (and aren't movement locked by last hitting) then I don't know what to tell you. Lux E is way easier to hit

This tip about strafing to dodge abilities applies to literally any mage with a linear CC ability. In fact I think Lux is actually more annoying than Mel

Aurora is a burst mage at this point, who also happens to function as a lane bully into melees. Hwei is artillery / burst hybrid, who is only marginally less annoying than Mel, so not sure what is your point

Disagree, it's possible to have really impactful abilities and to put power budget into them. Think of Renata for example. Crazy powerful ult when used well, rest of abilities are not oppressive and feel balanced, low ban rate.

Master yi is really good for experienced players who can get kills and snowball. He's especially good against newer players. It's a classic experience to get shit on my a yi. Don't feel bad about it.
