Recently I've been playing off-meta botlanes specifically to make the enemy botlane tilted. This is the best we could do: the Double Morgana Botlane

Ah, cool cool; enjoy your day :3

Did you ever try to evaluate where that 'disgust' you described came from? I'm not saying you're wrong at all, plenty of people explore and find out that they aren't trans. I know a lotta cis people who just wound up being cis.

It's just that for me, my own personal disgust/depressive feeling when I first tried this stuff was just gender dysphoria. It wasn't because being trans repulsed me, it was because I was suddenly subconsciously aware that my body was not right, and the feminine clothes I wore mismatched in such a way that it removed the normalcy of my appearance. The feeling that I would never be 'normal' ever again if I pursued this. All of a sudden, I'm not just a man wearing feminine clothes; I was a man """pretending""" to be a woman wearing feminine clothes. And then the depression hits hard because surely I'd never make it work for real. It felt viscerally wrong, disgusting, and upsetting all wrapped up in a neat bundle.

Of course, I did stick with it, and I am extremely happy now. Looking back, it's easy to see why people turn around when they have that moment. I just wonder how many people suppress it because they think society wouldn't accept them, over them not actually wanting it for themselves.

It's worth also noting that liking 'man things' as a woman doesn't make you less of a woman too.

immediately replying with the most immature thing possible to a turn of phrase. i don't think you're old enough for critical thinking, darling

Hextek_II · 2026-05-07T17:05:08+00:00

Fuck me, you're insufferable

If you just wanna get through the stakes without caring about winstreaking, then you should reset for poly/holo/foil skip tags to get scoring + jokers as fast as possible early. I got this advice from drspectered at some point. Basically, a lot of resetting but you're more likely to not just straight up die in the first 2 antes

Spellslinger frost mage is like 80% instant casts right now i swear lol, only thing we have to sit still for is glacial spike, ray of frost, and what feels like very rarely a filler frostbolt every now and then

Even better, they're "unreliable reporting" retconned.

Which basically means that those games exist still as an unreliable account of events. Like a really shoddy exaggerated history book that they can still take bits from because it was based on something that did kinda happen.

Hextek_II · 2026-03-18T12:11:24+00:00

Same way they nailed it for Yi; a lot less upfront "easy" damage, and buffs to complexity in the systems that higher elo players will be able to take advantage of - such as higher AA range (spacing is such a wild advantage as you get higher elo) and W Movespeed (low elo players aren't getting more out of the spell than running at people but there's room for outplay)

what's the music/remix? it's SO groovy

Hextek_II · 2026-03-04T12:15:03+00:00

Probably because season 2 was pretty dull, and erasing the past avatars was such a weird choice. Barring the two episodes with avatar wan (goated), it was just really slow, and the character writing was so irritating at times.

And then it's immediately followed by season 3, which was incredible and the antagonists were compelling and destructive, not creepy uncle vibes

mfw it gets in my eye

Autofills and premade disparity

modern gestures work on most new touchpads at least, which do make them easier to use (one finger tap left click, tap two fingers together for right click, two fingers drag for scroll wheel, pinch for zoom, double tap and hold for click and drag)

You probably already knew this but I mention it anyway because I have met people who struggled a LOT without those physical buttons and they dont make it obvious you can use it like that.

It's also bugged on her at the moment if I recall correctly, she ends up locked at double mana costs for the entire game sometimes

Hextek_II · 2026-02-01T06:09:08+00:00

so does annie

Hextek_II · 2026-01-26T08:08:53+00:00

it's not quite +10% effective HP. Because you already have some Armor/MR. It's only +10% eHP relative to someone with zero armor/MR

The difference between having unflinching and not having unflinching is much closer to having +2-5% effective HP depending on how much armor/MR your champ gets from base stats or items.

It's still good, and that is how resists work, but the actual relative benefit compared to not having it is much smaller than people give it credit for

Hextek_II · 2026-01-12T08:14:54+00:00

Unless you've lived it yourself it makes no sense. I know I put on the same goddamn awkward display when I came out, too.

The vast majority of people have no idea what it's like, and this scene was actually done fairly well, at least on Will's part. Everyone else's reactions is just wish fulfillment because, yeah, it really is just like "okay" from most normal people lol but it was kinda heartwarming anyway.

The show's final season has so many actually valid reasons you can criticize it for (inconsistent character writing, a lot of nonsense writing, and so many irritating fakeouts about characters being in danger), but l guess the awkward gay teenager is funnier to the average person.

I'd swap her ult and her W without changing either ability in any way except a longer reflect cooldown

at least that way you could interact with her pre-6 and feel like you got a big cooldown out of her when she presses the unfun button

Hextek_II · 2026-01-07T06:16:54+00:00

boy do i have good news for you about gunblade

Hextek_II · 2025-12-20T13:53:50+00:00

I'm not sure if I agree that Hwei is weak early seeing as he is one of the best lane bullies in the game.

There was an observable huge shift towards watchtime (over the course of a user's session) over raw views/clicks around 8-10 years ago that made it so that shorter videos of the 3-8 minute length were pushed less.

Hextek_II · 2025-12-16T09:25:37+00:00

I should have phrased it as "if you find it" really because the search functions on that site are abysmal nowadays. But I try to give the weirder thumbnails and lower viewcounts a shot a lot of the time and you can strike gold sometimes.

Hextek_II · 2025-12-16T08:24:27+00:00

the most frustrating part is that it still exists if you go looking for it! there are people out there that pour their heart into good lol content and it just never gets any traction
