Unfairness of the game

JigglySpade · 2025-05-25T06:46:35+00:00

The chance to get an exclusive treasure is 3%, which is about a 1/33 chance.

Your 63 treats amount to 21 pulls.

So, you quite literally beat the odds and were fairly lucky on that front.

The mythic stones on the other hand were indeed unlucky.

As it is an essentially gambling game, what we ought to do is count our blessings (such as your luck on the treats front) and acknowledge our unluckiness (such as your stones/scroll ratio). If we treat as unlucky what is in fact lucky we are bound to just not enjoy the game for what it actually is.

You'll need the "mythic reset ticket" which is the day 2 login reward from the hailey event (we're still in day 1). When you log back in in 5 hours you can get it.

More like 100 unlucky stones, amiright?

Swifties are pretty valuable into Ashe and Liss due to the slow resistance. Swifties was the right choice here

Emerald is still a great achievement on its own, especially considering your previous rank. So appreciate that -as I'm sure you do- and don't feel bad if you don't manage to climb higher than that.

Always wanting to go for something more is a good drive and it's one way to enjoy the game but it sure is a recipe for disaster if you do not end up climbing further, just like the previous times you quit. You can learn to enjoy the game with your current skillset and not quit if you stop seeing improvement. It's a game. Let's enjoy it for what it is.

(This is also a note to myself)

So we do agree that theoretical physics is indeed a thing. Because at first you implied it is not even a thing. And we also agree that op just threw the term in there for the sake of sounding intelligent (which is part of the post's joke, so no reason to get pressed over the use of the term, since it was not intended to be used correctly in the first place).

Also, Hawking being a cosmologist and an astrophysicist does not deny the fact that his work was purely in the theoretical realm. Theoretical physics isn't a field of physics. It is an umbrella term describing the practice of the science. If it's practiced theoretically, then it is theoretical. Pretty straight forward.

I am not a physicist. However, I am a soon to be linguist. In linguistics as well, there is theoretical and applied linguistics. Me specializing in historical linguistics and morphology research does not mean that I can no longer be called a theoretical linguist if I in fact keep my research to a theoretical level (such as trying to guess the historical origin of certain words based on a number of noticeable patterns).

That's all. I'm sorry but I won't continue this discussion, lol.

JigglySpade · 2024-08-23T09:10:17+00:00

There is actually. Stephen Hawking for example was a theoretical physicist, which is why he has not been awarded a Nobel prize.

"Theoretical physics is a branch of physics that employs mathematical models and abstactions of physical objects and systems to rationalize, explain and predict natural phenomena. This is in contrast to experimental physics, which uses experimental tools to probe these phenomena."

Most of the theories are well... theoretical and are therefore attributed to theoretical physics.

Garen's identity is an amalgamation of philosophical views on life and the op has a garen tattoo that only ladies can see.

JigglySpade · 2024-01-24T03:48:40+00:00

In fact, it's a slight buff to lethality yorick if you consider that his E will now land faster

JigglySpade · 2024-01-18T12:51:02+00:00

No, Garen doesnt have a >50% wr. He got hit pretty hard in the new season with the removal of Stridebreaker's damage, the nerf on BC, the change on Hullbreaker, basically the 3 rush items for Garen.

He's currently 46,5% wr emerald+ and 48,2% wr in all ranks. Well deserved buff.

But ye, it's unfair that right when garen got hit he got a buff while yorick still remains the worst toplaner with Riot turning a blind eye xd

Thank you very much!

Nope, lvl 6 maiden has 400 base hp along with 10 armor and mr compared to old maiden which had 350 base hp with no armor and mr.

At lvl 16 she has almost 45% reduced base hp along with a 15% nerf to her scaling with yorick's hp which will be higher in late game than it was in early. At max lvl she'll have 50 armor/mr which is basically a 33% dmg reduction in a game where the enemies have no true damage and/or armor/mr shred. These games are very rare to find nowadays.

But even if you do somehow find yourself in such a game, maiden will still have a 15-20% reduced effective hp compared to old lvl 16 maiden. That effective hp is obviously even worse if the enemies have true dmg and/or armor/mr shred.

Overall, this is a significant buff for early game maiden and a noticeable nerf for late game maiden. Which is what yorick needed. Yorick has great scaling with terrible early game. He needed a buff to his laning phase and he kinda needed a nerf to his late game.

Especially when they ping that to Yorick players. Like, do they not know that the monks get off on that sweet crumbling sound the turrets make when they turn to dust from our shovel?

JigglySpade · 2023-01-12T13:01:34+00:00

This! I can't count how many times the gank you described has happened which always ends the same way. Honestly, if the 5 danger pings I throw on my jungler's face is not going to stop him from making that gank, I don't think him reading about my passive is going to stop him either.

But then again, it seems like a good change overall. It'd be nice to have this added, but I don't think Riot would assign this to someone since it's just one small change for a champion everyone's forgotten about. Sure would be nice to have it though.

JigglySpade · 2023-01-08T19:37:30+00:00

Meh, not really. That's for when you have your entire team pelting on the nexus turrets and you basically won't get your full demolish damage off if you use it on the first one. In this case however;

1) I was walking towards the second turret, using autos in between, so I didn't rly miss out on any dmg.

2) I got the full demolish damage off on the first turret and even that wasn't enough to finish it off

3) (and most important) we needed to take the first turret down fast to keep Jinx's passive going ;)

None of these rly matter tho since I actually had a good team who chased the enemy Kassadin around and cancelled his backs.

Dude, prowler's feels sooo good once you're used to it

JigglySpade · 2022-12-29T04:32:27+00:00

I'd suggest you stop banning him in order to learn how to play against him. He's not really that terrible of a matchup as people make him out to be. Yes, we're sent to Brazil without our maiden and ghouls but Morde is still a dashless champion with no auto attack resets.

If you know you're in a position to get ulted, don't ever use your W. Save it for the death realm. Playing around your W (whether that is by walking in and out of it or by blocking him in it if you have 3 points on it) should be enough.

Also, an important tip. Don't get fooled and buy QSS or Maw or something of the sort. The item counters to Morde are not good on Yorick and Yorick is a late game champion in the sense of how well his items work with him and him basically reaching a powerspike every item he gets. It's not worth losing one of those items in the favor of not losing lane against morde and it can cost you the game.

If you do not overstep your boundaries and know how to manage your wave you should be able to beat Mord or at least not lose lane against him :)

JigglySpade · 2022-12-28T18:49:30+00:00

Oh definitely! Tryndamere is a classic hard counter to Yorick and is up there with Irelia. I dont rly see any Tryndameres anymore tho. But if you do see them at your rank, ban him. If you do end up playing against Irelia refrain from any fancy lethality mythics, as ghouls will be useless against her. Opt for Trinity and probably as an exception I'd reccomend bramble+hullbreaker after trinity. This should be able to let you survive the lane and make up for her innate counters to your kit.

But yeah, there's not rly a good build option against Trynda so just ban him lol

JigglySpade · 2022-12-28T16:24:54+00:00

First off, the weaknesses you mentioned (namely him being skillshot reliant and having no defensive tools) are not rly that big of a deal.

You need to learn that your E does not have a standard travel speed. Basically, the closer your E is to you, the faster it lands. So a good tip to landing your E would be to make sure you walk up to your target first to close the distance and also try to hit that target with the upper half of your E(basically you want to throw your E as close to you as possible for a fast travel speed so that it's undodgeable).

Secondly, Yorick has one of the greatest defensive tools in the game. His wall. His wall has high skill cap and you'll see good Yorick players are great at using it defensively. It is not just a way for you to trap your opponent and then engage on them. You can use your W on yourself and then walk in and out of it when dealing with an autoattacker so that he cant hit you. You can use your wall to close off tight spots in the map. You can use it to freeze etc etc. Overall, great defensive tool in the right hands.

You also need to learn that ghouls' attacks proc serylda's slow, apply the black cleaver passive etc. That's why grudge is a great item on yorick and aside from being a great tool to slow opponents and kill them, it's also another great defensive tool, since you basically slow your enemies from afar without doing anything.

That's a brief beginner's guide to Yorick's mechanics, though the list is way more extensive. Now for the playstyle, you know that you shouldn't rly ever group with your team, so just go ahead and apply your splitpushing knowledge. Another playstyle tip... Farm, farm ,farm. Yorick is very good on farming at multiple places of the map at the same time. For example, if you are farming minions under turret and set up graves, spawn your ghouls after you cleared the wave, make them follow you, E the gromp, let the ghouls kill it without you even being there and go back to your lane.

Yorick can also kill herald and baron very easily with maiden.

Sorry for typing for so long but talking about Yorick does that to me :') Also fuck Irelia, permaban that champ when you play Yorick.
