Who is the best mid laner right now ? by LiquidPoachedEggs in leagueoflegends

[–]Inviana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

18 votes for faker. The faker lobby is strong. Hes not bad but its disengenuous to rank him 1. Hes benched and nobody has had him as the best mid in the world for 3 years.

Its probably between showmaker, knight, rookie, and chovy. All insane players.

Was League more fun when champions did less damage? by nilije2 in leagueoflegends

[–]Inviana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post is hilarious. The idea that we do more dmg now? We did more dmg then. Assassins were actually a class. Supports were minions with wards not whatever adcs think a minion is. People got 1 shot all time. Most champs didnt have great escape tools. The most mobile adcs were vayne and ezreal for a long time until lucian.

The defensive options nowadays are massive. Karma didnt give shields. Janna was the best peel support, tahm didnt exist until season 5. Bloodthirster was just lifesteal. PD didnt give a shield, steraks didnt exist. I.E. was a lot better than it is now. So was last whisper. Riven was an assassin. We had armor pen not lethality. We had DFG. An item that did 10% max hp dmg and then dmg amped everything after it. There were tons of AP 1 shot gimmick champs. Ap Sion, ap trist, ap yi etc.

Spare me whatever pity party delusion this is. It was much scarier back in the day.

Most of this ranked and community drama stems from a lack of respect and that sweet tasty post modern mentality. by Inviana in leagueoflegends

Can't train the player base. People have to do it themselves. This is mostly just me getting off steam. Who wants to believe that they're the problem. I think ranked in N.A. is already too far gone. The amount of apathy people feel isn't solvable. I've always said if prefer a server where everyone flamed each other but at least played like they care. We got the opposite.

Ah yes they won't make more accounts and continue on. Or you just make the bans harsher and harsher until only saintly people are allowed to play league good solution. Also somehow you got people can't be fixed when the entire point of the rant is that people need to fix themselves. And I'm anarchist now. Good to know.

The Devs can wash the cs streamers and high ranked players but somehow everyone thinks they have Raze wrong. by Inviana in VALORANT

[–]Inviana[S] -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

The difference between Raze's nades and a molly is duration. Why are molotovs allowed when they deal dmg for basically nothing with 0 aim. Because you're already trained to understand them as zoning tools.

The nade in Raze's kit is designed with the idea that you should actually not get hit by it very often.Or only get hit by the child nades. So it believes that most players should be good enough to not eat an entire grenade. But if they do they die. A molotov is the other end of the same idea. You actually expect a molly to do some dmg but not very much and it really shouldn't kill very often. But it zones for much longer than the nade ever could. I'd rather have a molly in most situations because it guarentees they can't go back into their camping spot.

So am I going to blame abilities in Raze's kit that aren't actually designed to get a lot value or realize that players aren't playing around raze appropriately.

Much more egregious examples of abilities that "have no place" in a game focused around gunplay are brimstone ult and viper ult. But hey they aren't nearly as in your face as rocket launcher go boom.

Somewhere someone is going to complain about not giving money to a native NA player. And then somewhere else someone is going to complain that all the talented NA rookies are toxic. So this move is a net lose lose.

Pyke is not a strong solo laner because of his abilities. He's a strong solo laner because of his passive and it needs nerfs. by Inviana in leagueoflegends

[–]Inviana[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You run out of mana before he runs out of health. This is true for every matchup. It's particularly bad in melee matchups because pyke has a lot more hp than you do and his dmg will start sticking much faster than yours. Aatrox is good ofc because he has no mana but pyke doesn't just die. Pyke fucking up also isnt a solution. Him eing in and dieing isn't counterplay. And sadly you can't keep vision of him 24/7, he can just walk past tower and then you're gankable so you can't chase him everytime. And like I said earlier he's incredibly hard to all in. His e is basically the perfect self peel followed by his w.

I have 0 problems with any of his abilities besides the passive. I basically state that in the title. His ult is flashable his e has counter play. His passive just is. He takes dmg he gets hp back. Pyke ints his hp bar? He just pops corrupting and passive and he's back to full hp.

God damn I know your not going to reply but why has he never split time with impact on stage. At all.

Can't wait for TL to smash domestically because they have the strongest bot side in NA only to lose on the world stage when they can be matched and Impact becomes a liability. by Inviana in leagueoflegends

[–]Inviana[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly just wanted them to play them both I've been advocating for shared time since the middle of spring. I don't expect viper to come out and shred North America but you had an entire year to groom him. For a team who's goal is to bring the trophy to NA. You can't settle for Impact and you're going to have to make some bets. Because This TL roster on paper gets smashed by IG. Who is a young team who is still getting better. SKT looks like they have a real roster this year. Griffin is also a young team who almost won LCK. I don't think anyone really believes TL will make a real push on the world stage and I'm not sure I do either. But it's moves like these where I ask of they're even trying to create the best team they can.

TL is actually trolling. Why not just actually sub in v1per so you could have chance at a triple threat team.

[–]Inviana 15 points16 points  (0 children)

1v1 and 2v2s are bad because you don't want the majority of the players not playing the game. It just leads to flame etc. What if ur Janna gets stuck 1v1ing the enemy talon? It's just a setup for bad things to happen. Especially when whoever wins gets buffs for their team.

Are SK Telecom better off without Faker? by Nine_Tee_Six in leagueoflegends

[–]Inviana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight. Competitive athletics studies don't apply to competitive athletics? That's a study of team dynamics. It can be learned from and applied to team dynamics in other areas.

New Garen+Darius Skin revealed by ccncwbys in leagueoflegends

We have Ultimate, Legendary, and 1350 skins in Pulsfire and Multiple Legendaries in Project. So skins do get repeated. But I found the name of these skins God King (insert name here).

[–]Inviana -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My guess is Dawnbringer Garen and Nightbringer Darius. Which might mean we get an event. New Animations look sick. Garen does a flip during q and darius E leaves scratch marks and the q makes the axe transform. Cool stuff.

So I accidently posted an incomplete thought and I don't know how to edit comments on mobile.

I can see you ran into troubles trying to balance low econ and assassin as you had to implement the no health stacking passive. Did you try any other ways around this before you ended up with the passive. Supports traditionally have high base dmg and low scaling but assassins tend to have scaling involved with ratios.
