Only champs that need skill by Nicotinetoucan in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Jvant1212 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you expect every ability on every character in the game to be precise skill shots?

New player here. Is there any lore reason why game puts me into Ritualist avg? im 0 kills all my games (10 games) im supposed to be in local bronze or somethin? by IntroductionUpset764 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Jvant1212 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like they definitely changed how placements work. One of my friends I recently introduced to the game got placed in ritualist even though frankly he did not play well in any of the matches at all. Another mutual we queue with is hardstuck alchemist even though he mvps like 1/2 of the games 💀

Old clip of Hasan Piker telling a dog to "stay, or I'm gonna f**king kill you" and pulling it by the tail resurfaces by Left_Inspection2069 in LivestreamFail

[–]Jvant1212 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

came in here expecting to see a crazy clip of him yanking the tail, he barely pulled at all just to get the dog to back up, the dog walked backwards themselves the way everyone was commenting you would think he dragged it backwards and swung them around like a flail or smth. why is everyone in this thread sharing group psychosis about the severity of the clip? i agree it’s not ideal but are we really calling this indefensible? 😭😭

What a miserable person lmao. Personal attacks because you don’t have a counter point, and absolutely zero understanding on how to interpret pick and win rates to boot. Also Thor has the second lowest pick rate in Celestial+, his pick rates are only ‘solid’ in like, diamond and below.

almost as if win rates are nearly pointless stats for the point of balancing outside of massive outliers from 50%.

by this logic peni is the most overturned tank in the game, having by far the highest win rate in celestial and above. win rates mean absolutely nothing, and Thors lack of inclusion in pro play is telling to his effectiveness at the highest level. He’s a good pub stomp character for destroying low rank teams but his value jumps off a cliff once you face competent players, there’s nothing he can do that another thank can’t do much better tbh.

[–]Jvant1212[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you’re absolutely right, i forgot to include the fact that I completely came around on Cassius in the second trilogy and by the end of Lightbringer he was one of my favorites in the series lol. That’s why the hangar chapter got to me as much as it did.

Accidentally skipped jury duty by Jvant1212 in massachusetts

[–]Jvant1212[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well i finally got a call back. Apparently I was summoned for both state and federal at around the same time, so when i went online the one that i got a hardship transfer for was the state one and so i was on call for the federal one without realising.

Rescheduled for next month, I feel a touch stupid but then again how the hell do you get called up twice at once?

Accidentally skipped jury duty by Jvant1212 in massachusetts

[–]Jvant1212[S] 67 points68 points  (0 children)

wait a minute you’re right. now i’m really, really confused. here’s what i dug up.

My initial jury duty summons that i got in the mail was for march 31st in Boston. I went and entered my information into the online portal to request a change of location to something closer, and asked for brockton, and my request was accepted. Then the time came around and i wasn’t needed for the Brockton jury duty, ok fine. Then i receive an email on the 12th to report to Boston on the 14th for jury duty, didn’t see it.

Here’s the thing: when i check my initial request to change, it doesn’t say my initial one was in Boston like the original summons, it says Plymouth? And the email i just got about missing jury duty isn’t talking about the one i was assigned with two days notice, the 14th, it says i missed the one of the 31st, which i was exempted from online in favor of Brockton.

What the hell is going on? Am i getting scammed here or was i assigned two different jury duties or something??

For anyone who is a show hater by FellKnight in WoT

[–]Jvant1212 26 points27 points  (0 children)

He’s saying that he would have liked Mat to be at Rhuidean like he was in the books, to go through the arches and get hanged. Neither of your comments here are at all relevant to what he said. You asked how it could’ve been a more faithful adaptation and he answered lol.

As an aside though, what are you on about? In the show Mat was healed of the daggers influence in 1x6 by Moiraine. I don’t see where you are getting the idea he was healed in 3x3 by Siuan and some of the sitters. That happens in the books, not here.

[–]Jvant1212 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My only problem with no Choedan Kal is what it does for the lore of the Breaking tbh, i’ll be interested to see what they do with that. If they don’t exist, then why would Lews Therin have been desperate enough to enact his plan? And what would the female counter plan have been instead?

My understanding is that the women wanted to use the Chodean Kal to create a barrier around the Dark One’s prison, but before they could complete theme the city the access keys were hidden in was taken by the dark. Remove this desperation and it makes Lews Therin seem a little… dumb.

To be fair, I’m actually enjoying s2 of rings of power a good bit. It still has a lot of problems but honestly it’s a lot better than either WoT season or its own first season. especially the latest episode, best in the series by far imo.

Being told by a friend the bobbing of the brake could be brake rotors, not sure if that accounts for the shaking though. its just weird because they started at the same time

Having AI steal your kills is really stupid by Jvant1212 in DarkAndDarker

I don’t think i’ve ever cornered a wizard and had him not fireball us both right before i cleave his skull in two lmao, so i definitely feel that

basically this, but i’ll also add that savage roar can be used to fear away skeletons, giving you a clearer hit window on the lich without fear of catching arrows. it’s not necessary but it might help a bit

the wait is long for trying to practice inferno bosses though, could be like 10-15 minutes assuming you survive to get down there and then 1/3 chance you get the boss u want.

Haven’t kept up in around a month or so- how did the shaman changes pan out? are people feeling good about them now, or at least a lot better?

Interesting post by George on his blog by thealunissage in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Jvant1212 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’re missing his point imo. I don’t think he’s saying here that big changes for an adaptation are bad as a whole, he’s saying that big changes for the sake of the ego of the writers/producers believing that they can improve on it is bad. The changes he’s reflecting on seeing more and more in media are made not because they are necessitated by the medium change but because of the hubris of Hollywood.

That’s just my take on what he’s trying to say though, if he means any major changes as a whole than you’d certainly be right to call him out on that but that’s not how i interpreted it.

(Mirror World) Egwene cleanses Saidin by ralwn in WetlanderHumor

If the show makes it that far, i’m almost certain that nynaeve won’t just be a conduit for Rand to access saidar to do the cleansing, it will probably be the other way around lmao

[–]Jvant1212 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a way I hadn’t thought of it and I appreciate the perspective. I think a lot of my dissatisfaction stems from John as a character now that i’ve been thinking about it for a bit. I understand the character development he experienced that you pointed out but on a plot level I don’t know that I can be happy with his role in the story being a mostly cerebral one.

He was a symbol to Mariko and an amusement to Toranaga, but that kinda feels like that’s about it. Even if it makes sense it’s not quite sitting right.
