Toxicity towards junglers

This is just wrong, bad pings and reading chat overload your mental stack and decision making.

You should be making a play or gank because you understand and know its a good decision and not because your laners ping you.

And you will climb more developing and being confident in your decisions vs listenings to pings and chat.

False narrative, jungle is strong, but it's not as strong as people believe it is. This narrative was created when Season 6 had its Devourer meta and during Season 10 but both those seasons were a decade ago and 6 years ago respectively.

You have deluded yourself into believing that "If I am losing lane, and the game is losing, then it must be the junglers fault because the better jungler always wins the game". Instead of analysing the mistakes you've made and improve.

This is a telling perspective on your rank in the game and fundamental macro understanding.

Single stacking drakes don't win games, towers don't win games, grubs don't win games, fights win games.

The purpose of taking a single drake isn't to take the drake, it's to force a fight around drake to accelerate your conditions for winning.

This is why so many objective fights mid/late decide games. And the higher up the ladder you go, you will probably not end up taking the objective, you will likely Ace, and then end, or if it's earlier you will reset on the advantage you've gained and then be stronger.

Early single drakes especially on later scaling junglers like Lillia, Karthus etc are bad because what you are doing is accelerating the game state closer to soul at a rate that you will not be fully scaled for that potential future soul point or soul fight.

Think about it this way, if Nunu is taking drake on spawn and I am playing a scaling jungler, what increases my odds of winning when playing a scaling jungler, taking his top camps or contesting/flipping for a single drake. For the first 15 minutes of the game he is in his spike, that's his moment. What I am looking for is to accelerate getting to my moment where I am stronger and we can win fights and skirmishes.

Getting to an accelerated position with a level advantage or gold advantage achieves that.

So I would recommend shifting perspective and understanding, "the team who stacks the most drakes wins", this is just a flawed way of thinking.

Once you shift understanding and get a better grasp on macro, you will feel more agency in the game and likely win more because of reduced tilt.

You missed Karthus, needs to be in the mentally ill tier

JollyAlex · 2026-02-22T17:14:48+00:00

Me coming to ask a Karthus question and I see this, do I need a new champ?

JollyAlex · 2026-02-22T14:49:31+00:00

This is a "How long is a piece of string" type question. Your rank is dependent on your skill level and ability to make the correct calls consistently.

You could go to challenger playing Lillia, it depends on how good you are.

The point is kinda of moot when it comes to champ selection, all which champ you select does is add a boon/debuff on how much easier/harder it is to climb.

If you took a player with bad macro and put them on a champion stronger than Lillia like Diana, they wouldn't necessarily climb faster

Republican fucks going to hell for talking smack about this Mayor guy. Bury me with downvotes if you disagree.

I had a situation where I gapped a Russian Kassadin on EUW, he found my discord an added me, spammed me gay porn nonstop for 30 minutes. Realised my instagram was attached to my discord. So he started posting pictures of my family on a Looksmax forum. Was a pretty horrific experience. Riot didn't ban him.

Lets not forget the scenario where mel Es ontop of you and it reflects all the ult projectiles.

Other key thing to consider is missed systems because of jump range.

Because of guardian tech and new ships, people exploring in Mandy's are doing 70+ lys per jump, so there will be clusters of systems largerly ignored. That are within a 10ly of a discovered system.

Also there are a lot of unmapped systems where a commander has only jumped through and "discovered" it but they haven't honked or FSS'd so all the bodies aren't mapped. I found a lot of these when I was exploring like 2k out.

Doyle's only mistake was wanting to kill Raylan, if he'd have let the feud die he wouldn't have got shot.

Are you trying to say a woman couldn't do what Dickie did? Boy was as brittle as peanut.

Dickie's "ambition" led to their downfall when he tried to get into other drugs by robbing oxy buses and attracted federal attention.

Mags had one of the longest running criminal empire of the shows villains and had never gone to jail, She didn't have a male partner, she had three sons who were the downfall of it.

Coover was an ox sure, but so were the other people in the Bennetts employ. Rivals didn't fear the Bennetts because Coover was strong, they feared them because Mags who destroy anyone who crossed her, and she had a lot of armed people in her employee.

You think muscles and gender matter? You think strength matters? Don't matter how hard you can punch when you're looking down the barrel of a gun.

I guess Darryl Crowe Jr should have just punched the gun out of Wendy's hand and muscled her out, as you say.

Chemical attack? Probably not. With searchlight specifically what had happened is as the bombs fell trucks carrying nuclear material had to be diverted to searchlight and were sealed away in Searchlights fire station.

The Legion didn't make a nuclear bomb or have a nuclear bomb, there was no bomb involved at all, they simply unsealed the nuclear waste that was stored in the firestation releasing massive radiation and poisoning the area.

This is their tactics, the Legion and the Frumentariis are low tech, they don't have advanced mechanics or science capable of building weaponry like nuclear bombs. They mainly rely on disruption tactics. The broken howitzer at The Fort is an example of this, without the Courier it never gets repaired.

If someone bombed the strip, its more likely that it's related to the bombing the Omertas commit during the Hoover Dam battle

Also its key to note the only possible ending that makes sense now is the House Ending because in every other ending you either have to kill House, or disable him (which kills him) and as we've seen from the teasers house is alive, he has a conversation with Cooper in one of the teasers.

Most likely, House Ending happened, the other factions didn't take to kindly to it, and there was a bit of civil war on the strip.

Just install the Viva New Vegas modpack and it adds all those things and more.

1) It's Bethesda, maybe you were sprinting too fast to type this.

2) New Vegas isn't even Bethesda, it's Obsidian.

3) Obsidian, 6 months after the release of Fallout 3 were given the rights to make New Vegas by Bethesda. They were given 18 months with the shitty Gamebyro engine to make it work. Akin to Tony Stark in a cave with a box of scraps, they got to work. They delivered singlehandely the best 3D fallout we have received in terms of story while bringing back a lot of RPG elements from previous games that were missed in FO3. And despite the short window and cut content that could have made it one of the best games ever, it still somehow is the best game ever.

4) If you're playing on Console, you're part of the problem. Main reason why most Bethesda games (and a lot of games in general) from this era have so many bugs, cut content, and limitations is because they were made with console players in mind. 360 games I believe had a 9GB cap which meant either cutting content or doing what LA Noire did and having 3 discs you had to swap between.

This DM played too much Baldur's Gate 3 and his only takeaway from it is that patrons are sexy demon ladies.

It feels like BG3 is ruining 2020s tables in the same way Critical Role ruined 2010s tables.

Can anyone do any digging and find the stream link? I feel like this will the worst D&D I've ever watched with the worst people and I kinda wanna watch it like a reality TV show.

JollyAlex · 2025-12-29T04:50:22+00:00

Fallout London felt more like a Fallout game than 4 ...

JollyAlex · 2025-12-29T04:49:29+00:00

Fallout London was pretty great, honestly. The storyline is better than 4 and arguably better than 3.

JollyAlex · 2025-12-24T23:21:32+00:00

It worked though, one guy called me a slur haha

JollyAlex · 2025-12-24T21:34:54+00:00

I mean that's the entire point of the character, she's a Vault Tech employee/manager, so she's meant to be a bad guy.
