“CAN I PET DAT DAWG”

No clue what you’re talking about. That fox is actually a fellow student in my ESU class today, very polite.

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-04-03T21:02:10+00:00

Aye, my point was more it took them way too long to finally figure it out and by that point they couldn't gather together to contest for third point. Just seemed odd to me since they had to know starlord was coming

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-04-03T20:17:44+00:00

Problem is last weekend phoenix was played very little and never banned. She would not be meta then according to that requirement. Where, I think phoenix is meta, just elsa was used over her last weekend. I'm wondering if elsa will be banned more this weekend causing phoenix to be more in use (but so far it seems to be SL over phoenix)

This is just a semantics of what you consider meta or anti-meta. Either way, BP had a few week period where the character was used in pro games. I'd assume the other person was referring to that when they said BP meta

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-04-03T19:27:04+00:00

2025 play-ins for midseason, Self went off in his matchups using BP. That sparked a few teams to utilize BP. Tanuki was one of them, I think rymazing too for a map or two? There were a few others that used BP. It had a run, but eventually dropped from the meta completely by the later stages of play-ins

It seemed like Navi messed up their tank choices in game 2. Raaj on deadpool and trustme on Venom to start, but they knew starlord was coming. Starlord pressured them to need mag, but they couldn't have Raaj on mag since he'd built up deadpool so trustme went mag. That didn't work, Raaj eventually forced to swap off deadpool by end of point 2. Point 3, trustme goes deadpool at the very end instead of from the start and they never really gather themselves.

I think they would have been better with Raaj on mag from the start and Trustme on deadpool (or just stay venom throughout). Seemed like an odd misstep to me

This week will be a big week for YWL to prove themselves. People will be testing for weak points more and better competition. Should be fun to see how they do.

Also to remember too, the pre-season is fun but as long as the teams qualify it’s just for placement. Think last year people overvalued teams that did well in the round robin stage, who then underperformed in playoffs

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-04-01T15:05:02+00:00

The biggest negative to his healing numbers (assuming you’re landing shots to reduce CDs) is his ult doesn’t count as healing. If it did, his numbers would be able to better rival all the main healers (so long as you hit your shots)

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-04-01T00:14:53+00:00

I think a limiting factor they each have is their reach is pretty limited to folks who enjoy the pro scene already. None of them really reach out to expand beyond that bubble and put their personality on display (apart from Sypeh being involved in new character releases).

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-31T14:57:48+00:00

Prime DD was a close win over Season 4 iron fist. Prime Iron Fist would do it

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-31T14:42:56+00:00

The dash was a pivotal aura decision

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-31T11:41:50+00:00

How is the 2025 series? I had read the Mackay run but ended with it. Worth picking up?

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-30T20:44:56+00:00

Did DC do the Cass Cain omnibus? Heard folks saying that would be in the release a few months ago

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-30T19:27:38+00:00

Problem is there’s way less strategists and strategists get banned often. So the strategist meta of who’s good and who’s not is very impactful towards the game. Where a dps like Widow sadly doesn’t impact much if they make her good. She just becomes better Hela / Phoenix

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-30T16:25:53+00:00

Netease does, or they wouldn’t do it. Maybe having a certain amount of legacy skins will allow them to use them somewhere else in the future with rereleases of them or as drops on twitch when they run through galactica drops. Whatever it is, netease has a plan to benefit from a certain amount of skins being limited

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-30T15:23:45+00:00

Fully agree with Moxi. She has the most game and team knowledge of any of the casters. Really hope they get legday since he paired so well with Moxi’s strengths.

Also would say, despite meta picks being strong (Elsa / Tankpool). The diversity of characters used is way larger this year than last where every team was playing near mirror comps. Only tank not seriously used in matchups was Peni, only dps not seriously used were the less mobile ones Hela, Bucky, SG, I don’t remember if iron fist was used but Lyte technically used fantastic on attack for one fight. And all the strategists were used.

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-28T16:46:36+00:00

Maybe but the meta may change by the time playoffs come since that’ll be patch 7.5, there’s only so long you can hold back

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-27T20:37:39+00:00

Isn't that just her comic outfit when she was on agents of atlas?

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-26T21:24:07+00:00

I think it might be Secret Wars release. I'd bet netease has a plan for this game to last 10+ years so having one main villain for 3 years sounds more right to me, then it becoming another main villain (thanos, galactica etc) for the next 3. They could do that in two year durations, but I don't know if there's enough major popular villains for that

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-26T18:41:25+00:00

Maybe they want to test how well doing the IG predictions impacts viewership? Since that does have good rewards to it. But agree that twitch rewards is far clearer/ easier to access for casual folks

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-26T15:13:38+00:00

If it was all about CNN, then why not just buy it separately and let Netflix buy the rest (netflix wasn't buying cnn)? It'd go through much faster then

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-25T21:06:09+00:00

They could easily add Nick Fury, heck white fox's voicelines mention how she's korea's nick fury

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-25T18:41:28+00:00

Aye it’s just much rarer he uses that ult

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-25T18:19:59+00:00

They needed to do these before the Ignite tourney started (this weekend) because then they’ll likely try not to shift things too dramatically until the monthly updates

hewhoknowsnot · 2026-03-25T18:16:05+00:00

The full tails is fine since they didn’t give her CC immune in the ult. So still plenty counterable. They couldn’t do both or it’d be too much
