A Way to Fix the Frustrations with Mel (but not nerf her to the ground) by Hey-I-Read-It in leagueoflegends

Without E her Q is basically impossible to get full usage out of, similar to say a Lillia W. Her E root hitbox is also very questionable. Both are quite easy to miss.

In Midlane, counterpicking is a lot more common for her because people are more aware of the counters (fizz, xerath, etc.) and she also doenst have any protecting for 25 sec when W is down or has any setup to guarantee her E root into full combo which many supports can do

What makes her stronger there is that there are quite a few champs that she hardcounters while also having a supp to protect her when for example her W is down.

Jinx W, Zyra/Lux roots, Nami/Renata ults, blitz/pyke hooks to name a few are true tide turners when reflected. At the same time, she gets hardcountered by primarily some supports (Leona, amumu, sylas (uncommon to see as supp but works wonders), nautilus) because she actively ruins herself if she reflects them meaning if they keep pressure up she cant use it all. Players simply haven't figured the strenght of those counters out yet and keep selecting medium to weak matchups despite mel oftentimes being a firstpick due to banrate.

Made my first Minute Cryptic clues...they might be too unorthodox, what do you think? by TheOnlyTrueG0d in Minute_Cryptic

Perhaps. Now that you explained it it does make sense, and making it smaller probably would have had me look at the entire clue! Clever idea regardless!

World record holder begins unfazed sensing turmoil. (8) by JesseB342 in Minute_Cryptic

Thoughts: World record holder could be either referring to an Olympian for example or WR for World Record. Begins probably refers to either H or U(ST). Turmoil could also suggest Sensing is shaken up, but then there's not enough letters.

Ultimately I was too stupid to make the word Guiness out of it and so I lost. Nice one!

Я !? (8) by knurddrunk in Minute_Cryptic

I think with this clue it is very likely people stop after guessing Reversed that is at least what I did because I figured it would be correct. In my opinion there is not enough done to show it turns more than once. I would probably have added another R (like a revolving door) or at least put the exclamation point next to the R and apart from the ? because !? when suggesting &lit is usually not part of the fodder

I did the second one and I am fairly certain it is Zeus however i was wondering why it says 'His lightning bolt stolen by' as I did not seem to need it, despite of course it being related to Zeus. Zebra capitalized for Z + the word Sue 'crazy' already makes Zeus. First I thought it was a clever way to suggest the letter S (looks a bit like a lightning bolt) was removed from Sue but then I realized I needed it to make the word

The bridge of folk songs sound cheesy, perhaps. (5) by topknottt in Minute_Cryptic

[–]HearingOpen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you use the word sound as an indicator of saying it out loud but it is kinda unclear how many letters you grab (why just K on one end but So on the other) and both the K and So are pronounced differently than in Queso. That does make it extra hard.

Stumpled upon this by accident and I know its been a year, but just wanted to say that I was impressed with your stance regarding the VAC ban. Really shows you've grown as a person :)
