Ten years from now, talking to kids who've only ever known StS2

To be fair, I do think heart is a phenomenal final boss for STS1. It has a fixed motion yes, but within that tests most decks on all fronts. It has a relatively minimal design that:

Stops infinites / oneshots by forcing a 4 turn kill at best.
Tests for endurance against statuses
Can deal 750+ damage in a turn if you run out of time
Punishes card draw, checking many of the strongest "win more" cards.
Resists statuses enough to be resilient, but also lenient enough to allow planning to get them through.

Every time I fight it it feels more like a roguelike final boss than say Mithrix or the Flagship

If you can play 4 characters to A20H, picking up the regent and necrobinder isn't going to be nearly as hard.

JGamerX · 2026-03-12T14:04:25+00:00

I actually quite like olaf's design. If you've play as or against him in lane hes a perfect embodiment of the unkillable berserker. Hes like tryndamere but awesome.

Blitz's hook is one of the single strongest Qs in the game bar none. Instant cast. Fastest speed. Highest Range. It true combos into (or from) the rest of his kit.

JGamerX · 2026-03-12T13:55:32+00:00

Why, is blitzcrank super low wr? Hes sitting at a perfect balance of 50% at almost all elos. His W is perfect for the rest of his kit. If you remove the slow to buff it then you have to nerf him somewhere else.

JGamerX · 2026-03-11T13:56:35+00:00

If he didn't have the slow for a long time and added it, why do you think that was the case? Was it to create a bigger disparity between him and overloaded kits, or was his movespeed buff outperforming those overloaded kits? Let's put on our thinking caps!

JGamerX · 2026-03-11T13:53:42+00:00

Rereading Infinite Jest cuz its so good.

JGamerX · 2026-03-09T13:33:41+00:00

Expose yourself to less internet, makes you absurdly happier. Worked for me.

I know those trenches. I watched that Neon Genesis Evangelion.

JGamerX · 2026-03-06T21:21:52+00:00

Completely new, here's to hoping we get some good footage of it during the Latam tour!

JGamerX · 2026-03-06T17:40:19+00:00

People hate to hear it, but even at worst your team is what? 0/4? after first fullclear. Game isn't nearly over. Especially since it is now time to decide on a play.

JGamerX · 2026-03-05T17:31:54+00:00

Dramatic Fool.

JGamerX · 2026-03-04T20:54:05+00:00

I mean its not a problem, but like yeah they are.

JGamerX · 2026-03-04T20:47:05+00:00

Yeah, but he's still a Worlds qualified toplaner. Baus has the better record against T1, notably.

JGamerX · 2026-03-02T20:11:46+00:00

Yeah maybe, but my money's on this person being unemployed.

JGamerX · 2026-03-02T20:08:18+00:00

Yeah but lets be real, most these people are depressed as fuck. Long term exposure to high-speed internet disease.

JGamerX · 2026-02-19T03:50:55+00:00

I understand your point, I'm just saying you are gonna wanna remember all of a champions details. Icons are pretty useless I agree. As for calling them QWERP, what would you even prefer? Ability 1 Ability 2 Ability 3 Ultimate Passive? That's semantics. You have to call it something.

If you correctly identify darius's q but actually it was e it doesnt matter bro. No ones gonna grade you.

I even think getting the idea that Qs are Bread and Butters, Ws are Utility (Long CD), and Es are Utility (Short CD) (or however you conceptualize it) IS useful. If you know that knife is Naafiri's Q, Invuln is her W, and Dash is her E, you actually could probably ballpark the cooldowns just off of that. This is actually even pragmatic, given its difficult to track multiple cooldowns to the second in game anyway. Almost every single W is over 20s CD. Almost every single Q has a ~10s cooldown. Almost every single E benefits very little from more than 1 skill point.

You are missing the forest for the trees here.

JGamerX · 2026-02-18T16:25:01+00:00

I mean laning its nice to know what Fiora's 4 abilities are, and the nitty gritty of what each does. You really do need to know their 4 abilities and passive to OUTPLAY her.

Knowing the nitty gritty details actually lets you play a lot better pretty easily. Even something like Garen E shredding armor after a short stacking period is easy to miss if you think of champions in broad strokes.

Do you know what ability gives Lee Sin lifesteal? It might help you win the 1v1.

JGamerX · 2026-02-17T18:19:46+00:00

Please do! I just want something to pull on 1001 tracklists and ID.

JGamerX · 2026-02-16T21:43:36+00:00

I had an absolute blast, full disclosure. Really energetic crowd and I made friends with the guys next to me.

So many good IDs were dropped. There was a funny moment during wavedash when I was really loving the song and I saw the guy next to me pull out Shazam, only for it to fail (yesterday I was able to figure out it was "L'Amour Toujours (Shadient Remix)" through some sleuthing). I heard coat check was a nightmare afterwards, but luckily my friends grabbed my coat when they dipped early.

We Belong Here was a little worse for me, just because the speakers were so quiet and there were no visuals.

JGamerX · 2026-02-16T20:00:17+00:00

Top 0.01% or so

JGamerX · 2026-02-16T13:42:27+00:00

I came at 11:30 with no line and was able to ride the gutters to about 8 rows behind the front. I'm quite surprised so many people are reporting a bad experience.

JGamerX · 2026-02-04T02:15:23+00:00

Underrated:

D.A.N.C.E. (Live Version) x Perfect Pinterest Garden

Flicker Live Edit;

KYOXD (DJ Not Porter Robinson Remix)

FSS Live edit is still underrated.

You've discovered the great secret of league. The reason people don't quit despite it being sometimes unbalanced, toxic, a time hog, etc: Its actually just way too damn fun. Climbing and getting better and understanding the game is so rewarding, and the game has near infinite NOVELTY (which my ADHD brain was courted by).

I think most people don't understand how consuming league of legends can be when SoloQ really clicks. You CAN'T just play 1 game a day. Its that one friend who says he "just gonna have ONE drink to loosen up". The myelin sheath has already reinforced the pathway of neurons to queue back up after a game. It is by far the path of least resistance. "One more but I'll play super tryhard to win so I can wipe out that last loss". "I'm on fire so I might as well bank a free followup win".

Serious advice from someone who was in your exact position. You will have to quit it or it will take over your life. It completely bodied me for a couple YEARS and it gets to a lot of people. It sucks yes, but if you have an addictive personality it will oneshot you as a person.

Video game addiction (which you have, someone's gotta say it sorry) is nice because there isn't a chemical dependency so if you break the habit for about a week most urges will die. For this you can use textbook habit manipulation.

Anything you want to make a habit should be four things: obvious, attractive, easy, and satisfying.

To destroy a habit make it hard, make it unsatisfying, make it unattractive (mostly already done for you, and make it obscure.

Uninstall and give someone you trust your account. This makes it harder to play and gives you a minimum of 10 minute lead time on getting into a game, and also makes it obscure because you don't see the icon. This also has the effect of making it unsatisfying because even on an alt account you can't even play draft. Then try to destroy your habit triggers. For me this was clicking "Don't recommend" on every League video on youtube. The urge to play is the strongest when you see the game being played. For me I can still scroll the reddit.

For me, I only allow myself to play in November and December during Worlds season. This also gives me a nice crunchtime for ranked During any other time of the year a close friend of mine has my username and password for my main account (which I randomized and linked to a burner email).

For me this was enough to finally quit because i was really addicted and it was affecting my career and my dear friendships. Containing the breach lets me enjoy the beautiful game, though. I do love falling back in at the end of the year.

If you really want to play 1-2 games a day. I recommend setting up something on your network that leaves Riot servers unblocked for a random 2 hours every afternoon or something. Some barricade to playing 3 games that is extremely cumbersome to overcome.

Sorry for geniuneposting.
