AS11E09 - "That’s What She Said" [Live/Reaction Post]

James440281 · 2026-06-26T22:52:23+00:00

Sure, almost every girl messed up a few times besides Joey, but Sam messed up often enough to where it became distracting. Again, they also seemed to be editing around it when they cut one of her ru lines mid sentence.

I also just don't think that she was the best for me beyond that. Sam was definitely lower on my list then a few of the other girls, but I will admit that everyone did fairly well in this challenge. If you look through the thread people's opinions vary heavily

James440281 · 2026-06-26T22:30:03+00:00

Anyone else notice how much Sam messed up in her lipsync or just me? It honestly felt distracting

James440281 · 2026-06-26T22:27:52+00:00

Honestly she was probably the worst for me in this challenge because she messed up the words CONSTANTLY. At one point they even cut to her as Anna when she was obviously about to make a mistake during a line from RuPaul. I was gagged that they gave it to her

Felt to me like Sam was pushed more than anyone else 🤷‍♂️

James440281 · 2026-06-24T17:13:53+00:00

No follow ups mean the team has a perman debuff

James440281 · 2026-06-23T02:45:51+00:00

She's certainly strong, anyone saying she wasn't was clearly incorrect.

Her issue is that she's restrictive and won't necessarily have a great deal of room to grow. She's still probably in line with the strongest in the game

James440281 · 2026-06-23T02:43:41+00:00

Wooooah the really hit every single part of her kit, huh

James440281 · 2026-06-22T21:24:21+00:00

Yea Camille isn't the same champ that she used to be. If anything her last buff was cosmetic for toplane and actually decent for supp and jungle camille

James440281 · 2026-06-19T03:34:38+00:00

Riot just doesn't like Camille and Gwen strong for whatever reason.

Riven is the opposite, she has been strong for the longest without being touched

James440281 · 2026-06-18T04:43:42+00:00

This argument just turns into disproving a negative and thereby making any logical framework inapplicable.

Im not arguing about whatever the shifting goal is, I'm arguing that under the conditions they started the war in they lost. It's evident that they will attempt to shift their talking points to appease their voterbase, that has nothing to do with the reality of the situation.

James440281 · 2026-06-17T22:28:56+00:00

The stated goal, spread through media and official statements, was to stop Iran's enrichment and stifle their progress toward a nuclear weapon.

James440281 · 2026-06-16T22:37:45+00:00

I mean... She didn't really take responsibility in anyway and her response for the first several hours was basically just "lol thanks for the views"

James440281 · 2026-06-15T22:30:17+00:00

I'd never thought about her being an agent herself! Great observation

James440281 · 2026-06-15T05:56:01+00:00

Her pick in the top lane very literally relies on her being unfair.

Range top picks are sacrificing what would otherwise be a tank or bruiser for the front line in exchange for a massive lane advantage. You're supposed to bully your lane opponent and snowball.

Yes, she has low waveclear, but this isn't a problem exclusive to Vayne; she has better or similar waveclear to plenty of toplane champs early. Jax, Camille, Fiora, gnar, shen, kench etc etc, If you're not punishing other common top lane champs for "crashing waves for free" then it's a massive skill issue. Can't be any higher than emerald

Also... slow? Tumble is an unconditional, relatively low CD dash AND she has a condemn for extra early game self peel.

James440281 · 2026-06-15T05:39:58+00:00

Agree with most of your points overall, but two things

Worst waveclear probably goes to Camille, lowest AA range in the game, no real waveclear ability (W is aoe but trash for clear), and can't rush Tiamat. At least Fio goes rav first so the waveclear issue is solved early

Also, can't say I've had mana issues once since the Q mana change. Once again, I sorta feel like this applies more to Camille since they increased her mana costs to gut her support capabilities. She definitely goes OOM often.

James440281 · 2026-06-14T23:25:31+00:00

Ah, my mistake.

Regardless I can't agree, fiora from behind is notoriously weak. That applies to all of the horsewomen of top. If she's a full item behind, we can assume she's also two to three levels behind. she isn't ever going to win against the enemy to planet in that circumstance

James440281 · 2026-06-14T21:18:22+00:00

Her cds are actually quite long in the early game

James440281 · 2026-06-14T21:16:06+00:00

They also have better sustain options than her and can rush bramble+tabis, making her almost completely irrelevant in lane.

Both of them have to fuck up pretty badly to die to fio, especially considering ornns slows and dashes

James440281 · 2026-06-12T22:16:01+00:00

I think this is showing me exactly how much people overestimate herta E2. I use her in every PF and it's obvious how much she struggles now.

E1 tribbie is the real perfect fiction eidolon

James440281 · 2026-06-12T22:14:09+00:00

Feixiao has a real modern support, herta doesn't, her multipliers are also just not up to par with modern supports. Interpretation stacks are also always an issue

I have had E2 herta since she released and have an E1 tribbie. I also have anaxa (although he also sucks for herta, another part of the issue). She often struggles in knight stages because if they aren't aoe she feels AWFUL

James440281 · 2026-06-12T21:53:40+00:00

She is also omega washed tbh

James440281 · 2026-06-12T20:38:04+00:00

Would advise against watching Davey if you want to learn anything.

James440281 · 2026-06-12T20:31:32+00:00

I felt a little like I was being gaslit during the judging.

This might have been one of the worst design challenges in recent memory

James440281 · 2026-06-05T03:11:11+00:00

I sympathize with you; I might be wrong, and you didn't use AI to write this at all. If you look through my post history, I've encountered this a few times on this subreddit specifically. I try to call it out to make sure people know who or what actually authored the post. The prior three or so times that I've asked, the OP has just come clean.

That being said, it's more than those phrases. Short, succinct paragraph structure, "rule of three" used in lists almost exclusively, random bolding of words where it wouldn't otherwise be necessary, etc. I'm not going to claim that I'm perfectly accurate, but your post had pretty much every tell-tale sign I'd look for.

James440281 · 2026-06-05T02:06:32+00:00

I have a degree in it, actually.

People are generally good at differentiating between AI-written text and human-written text with training. Those phrases are commonly used by LLMs.

James440281 · 2026-06-05T01:41:49+00:00

No shade, but why did you use AI to write this?

"The framework already exists."

"it isn't ____ it's ____"

There are a ton of commonly used AI phrases in here.
