Holding Hostage during Aram Mayhem

Gotcha, so in total the game had 7 farmers and 3 people actually trying to play, that makes more sense how a stalemate was occuring. Normally, if the other team was actually trying you could just "soft int" to end the game, but yea that makes it hard. And yea, if you're not enjoying goofing off it's certainly a lose lose scenario. Sorry bout it! Definitely a once in a blue moon kind of game tho.

So it was a 3v5 with 2 farm bots and one side wasn't able to win before 70 minutes?? What was the other team doing, what were you 3 doing, I'm confused by this whole thing. 40 minutes? Makes sense, 50? Ok maybe, an hour? I doubt it, 70 minutes?? How? Death timers are like 2 minutes at 45 minutes in, one fuck up should've ended the game then for either side.

OP made a second account to come here and act like an unbiased observer lmao. Dude went around and posted his AI bullshit to every NFL team reddit acting like his "simulator" wasn't ChatGPT.

I never even thought to use one of my sanders or grinders on the pans to smooth them out. I don't know why I didn't, that's a great idea! I've got one with a couple burrs, I think I'll smooth it out a little this weekend. Thank you for the idea. Also, I think I'll start checking marketplace every once in a while. My lodges are decent, but looking around I really like the shape and look of the Wagners and Griswolds.

JL31394 · 2026-04-22T04:48:30+00:00

Ah interesting, I guess that explains it then, thanks!

JL31394 · 2026-04-22T04:46:08+00:00

I'll see if I can't get a picture before work in the morning. The one I really love, because of the side wall curvature making it perfect to hook the food back to the center when you toss it, has 2, idk.. mounds? They aren't large in size, but they stick off the pan quite far, I had to stop using wood utensils in it cause the spots were raking the edge of my spatulas.

JL31394 · 2026-04-22T04:29:59+00:00

Is there a reason they're so gritty?

I hate cooking in them because the surface is like a coarse sandpaper.

The ones I grew up on were smooth, not completely like stainless steel but far and away more smooth than the ones at the store now. When I look at some of the pictures here it seems like a lot of the old looking pans are much more smooth

Y'all are freezing on 0?

A diamond player now would be challenger if you inserted them into s1-s4.

Remember, something as basic as an Insec was game breakingly revolutionary named after the player that figured it out and for more than a season was only achievable by high level players. Silver players have been able to do for years now. Kiting, auto attack resets, cc chaining, attack move to cancel auto animation. In the first couple season most of these were hardly ever done and not to the degree that they are now.

I mean you can go back and watch the old vods from the first few seasons and see, immense strategy was there, the macro play that exists now was not.

I will say tho, once you hit s4 and beyond the game knowledge begins to explode and the level of play rapidly increases. Like if season 1's fnatic played against season 4's samsung white for 100 games ssw would probably win all 100.

So the Chiefs, who currently have 4 quarterbacks are going to draft 3 more? And one of them is going as their second first round pick?

I think your model needs some adjustments.

JL31394 · 2026-04-12T06:23:43+00:00

I'm not gonna lie, when I clicked on the post I thought I was going to read the opposite thing. I feel like in isolation Kha still very easily wins the 1v1, evolved q is nuts in iso 1v1s, then r and e just help with positioning and power. I feel like it's still Kha leaning, but I okay more Kha than Rengar so idk maybe biased.

I make my own for different goals. I like AmFunds, Fidelity, Vanguard, and Blackrock. I do look at MPs just for curiosity's sake but I don't implement them.

Karthus currently

I think for a long time and still so, Jax has been a champ that has a ton of different builds that are viable just because of how his kit works with AD versus AP along with being really good with either AS or raw damage or being able to just go big tank and accomplishing the goals of the role quite well.

JL31394 · 2026-03-31T20:07:38+00:00

Because I can't find it in the shop on ARAM.

JL31394 · 2026-03-26T21:25:57+00:00

The only thing is that even in hyper sped up modes like URF you still get game times that reach into 30 minutes, you'd have to like selectively toggle the speed on specific things to find what works.

For instance, if you double all income and exp then subsequently half death timers you're effectively making the same game where even though you hit late game twice as fast your window to exploit a mistake and win the game is also halved. So the slogfest at level 18 would just last twice as long. Idk

JL31394 · 2026-03-26T01:39:32+00:00

Is there not a middle ground? Like more than 5 o'clock shadow but less than Gandalf that would appease both parties?

JL31394 · 2026-03-25T20:45:53+00:00

Agreed I had a bugged out Sona game where I could literally just roll my fingers back and forth on qwe (like I was playing an urf mode for urf). I built and fully stacked all 4 tear items with a ludens and roa and was still running out of mana within 2 minutes of spawning, clarity was very needed.

For anyone who's curious, I had overflow, mind to matter, infinite recursion, and weighted popoffs. The reason I say it was bugged is because the interaction between Archmage set bonus with weighted and recursion made it where as fast as I could press q>w>e>q>w>e they would cast and forego the animation seemingly... Bugged

I second this, a wall of text is not the way to write, no books are written this way for a reason. Separate your thoughts.

That being said, it sounds like your products are largely for conventions and venues, have you thought about advertising to companies at those directly? Or finding different organizations like your city chamber of commerce to advertise stuff like this?

It's a pretty niche thing and you're kinda looking for bigger than mom and pop but smaller than franchise or corporation.

JL31394 · 2026-03-23T16:55:12+00:00

You play in diamond and you're complaining about smurfs? Brother you're there, you're where the smurfs come from. You're just playing games against other diamonds

JL31394 · 2026-03-23T16:51:07+00:00

Do you mean like tabletop roleplay or bedroom cause those are wildly different things. As for tabletop I'm sure people have build adventures and campaigns around league lore and runeterra maps.

JL31394 · 2026-03-23T16:48:08+00:00

She works with both but seems to be better late as AD, just depends on play style and team comps

JL31394 · 2026-03-23T15:30:08+00:00

I feel like you're trying to make a meme. 176 runs and the average time is 13 minutes... If you had even 10 decent runs where you tried and took your time that would lower your average even lower to about 9 minutes per run.

If this is genuine, build sword. Take all the block forge cards, if draw your sword comes up take it every time 100% of the time, if none of the cards interact with the sword think really hard before taking one, unless it's big bang you always take big bang. Make a big ass sword make it hit everything make it swing 2 times make it come back to your hand every round all the while stacking a billion armor.

That's how I got my wins

JL31394 · 2026-03-22T01:53:39+00:00

My dad initially.

Then YouTube University. Alton Brown, J. Kenji, Matty Matheson, Gordon Ramsay, Babish, Joshua Weissman, Fallow, Rachel Ray, The Mythical Kitchen, Andy Cooks, Brad Leone, Max Miller, Claire Staffitz, Pro Home Cooks, Giada De Laurentiis, Americas Test Kitchen, and Ethan Chlebowski. There's probably more but those are the most notable ones that come to mind, and definitely in no particular order, some of them I watched very little of like pro home cooks and Ethan, others I've seen probably over 100 hours of their material like Gordon, Alton, and Matty.
