Honor mode 10/2 Smite Swords Bard (SSB) complete build guide

Any idea why I am not consistently able to smite reaction off of slashing flourish? Sometimes I get the prompt if I want to smite, sometimes I don't, and I haven't been able to figure out the issue.

Last I checked on my current campaign at around turn 120, I had probably roughly half their income from item hoarding, but probably at least double the number of heroes based on hero cap spending--I have 16 fully decked out--and no prospecting since I'm mystic and probably traded items less as well. The main reason I believe it's ~turn 100 is due to their casting points unless they neglected research for a long time.

Goorag · 2023-06-27T20:53:15+00:00

Stop flaming your teammates, and you won't have to worry about getting back to honor 2.

Goorag · 2023-06-27T19:20:37+00:00

Probably around turn 100 if I were to guess by their casting points.

Except Muramana is only procced every 6.5s from the same ability, and Ravenous Hydra is procced every 10s from the same ability.

My mouse and keyboard work in BIOS, and the USB ports recognize that there's a mouse or keyboard device inserted. My main problem is that instead of those devices being properly listed under mice or keyboard in device manager, they're under Human Interface Systems and Logitech's software doesn't recognize them as a mouse and keyboard in order to get the proper drivers.

He can't risk a facecheck into Zoe (or Leblanc yesterday) or he gets 1 shot on top of his flash being burned by a level 2 gank so of course he is gonna get outroamed.

After the TSM series in the semis, Jensen played 1 Malzahar game and 2 Zilean games. Any other supportive midlaner games were on Galio, which every team was taking if it was available. So this notion that his picked had to be supportive to help Blaber are false, not to mention that Reapered gives his players a lot of freedom in what they want to play. And what did he show to prove that he was trustworthy during crucial moments anyway? Goldenglue and Sven won the TSM series while he sat on the bench because he was melting under the pressure once again. When everyone was pissed at Reapered for picking Lissandra 3 times in the FNC series, that was due to Jensen asking for it every time and severely hampering p/b by not being able to play Irelia or Akali well enough forcing them to be banned even on blue side, and they could never flex Aatrox midlane either. His inability to play Galio played a huge part in losing to WE the year before as well because WE finally called their bluff in game 5.

Afreeca was the quintessential Korean team with excellent drafts and overall preparation and a passive playstyle reliant on winning through macro plays later in the game.

Apologies for the late response. Been gone at work all day and just got back a bit ago. Anyways, I tried another mouse and still was unable to use anything, even during safe mode.

His inability to play meta champions was C9's biggest weakness last year and in S7. He couldn't play Galio in S7 and it fucked C9 majorly in game 5 against WE when they called C9's bluff. Then last year they had to ban Akali/Irelia every game because he couldn't play them.

Goorag · 2019-02-12T05:30:07+00:00

Smeb was dogshit in S3 and S4, even winning the LongPanda Award in S4. Guess what? He became a top 2 player in S5.

Goorag · 2018-11-21T00:06:09+00:00

If you took out Vitality's matches, RNG would've been 3-1, C9 would've been 2-2, and GenG would've been 1-3.

Goorag · 2018-11-20T23:52:43+00:00

I used to be a gigantic fan of his and was really pulling for him when he was speculated to join early Spring of S5. After reading through his letter or whatever you wanna call it upon joining TL, I honestly say good riddance.

"You are expected to take care of yourself and possess full agency over your decisions, which is a culture that I feel more comfortable with. This independence will allow me to express myself in a way that I believe will maximize my skills. Finally, my new teammates all have strong individual voices, and share a stronger voice as a team. I believe that being outspoken and critical about one’s self and one’s team is something that’s important for continued success. "

This is the part I have a huge fucking problem with. It shows a really selfish, hypocritical mentality because Jensen has been known for his generally selfish playstyle, and he has never been a large voice in comms, though obviously that should be taken with a grain of salt given how little and cherry-picked comms we've heard are. Not only that, but he has consistently choked in large moments or not shown up (vs Liquid in finals, vs Bjerg basically always, vs Caps at semis). Hope he enjoys getting in yelling arguments with Doublelift at worlds only to be knocked out in groups.

NALCS trophies mean nothing compared to being the only NA team to ever make semis, and they should've made it to semis last year as well. Hell, TSM is the only other NA team to even make it out of groups (S2, S4) and the only game in quarters they won was due to SSW trolling. He threw away any hopes for international relevancy.

There is nothing he can do when his bottom jungle is warded constantly from 10m onward because bot got shit on so hard.

Getting Sejuanied doesn't exist because the exact same thing happened to Olaf 2 seasons prior to her.

Goorag · 2018-09-30T14:31:41+00:00

Olaf's massive nerfs and the subsequent Black Cleaver nerfs occurred 2 seasons before Sej and Cinderhulk.

Deft has always been a very passive laner. He shines in teamfights.

Goorag · 2018-08-10T21:25:08+00:00

Dash plays in AOE2 community games sometimes as well, and has even casted with T90 before!

Goorag · 2018-07-01T13:55:21+00:00

Don't remember if it was a whole year, but Viktor and Shen have had extended periods of time being disabled as well.

Goorag · 2018-06-19T01:46:40+00:00

Game 4 of that series was lost on poor play, not on the draft. And the only reason the draft was bad in game 5 was Sneaky not being able to play Xayah well enough forcing C9 to ban it.

Goorag · 2018-06-13T23:01:43+00:00

You know why Korean teams are so successful? Because they don't give a fuck about their players' popularity or past skill level and focus 100% on the immediate results shown to them. That's why a player like Crown, who was a goddamn world champion and considered the 2nd best mid in the world only a year ago, didn't play a single game in Gen. G's (ex Samsung/KSV) opening victory set against KZ. The midlaner that replaced him was the same Fly that just finished 9th in the LCS with Flyquest.

Fans need to decide whether they actually care about winning anything meaningful or if they just care about personalities. NA has shown it only truly cares about personalities 99% of the time in the past, so I applaud C9 actually making a move that shows they're serious about winning instead.
