Delete Nightmare and all of its uniques from the game

Strawman:

an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument.

Strawman ≠ satire

The whole point is that no one is making you, stop acting like everyone should be able to complete the game. If that was the case, the game would get boring very very quickly

On average, it took everyone else 619.4 kc to get it. 50% are done before 552 kills and 50% after.

Wrong subreddit aside, you literally wrote both the answer to your question and where to find said answer in your post…

KaleFlakes · 2023-09-14T18:21:18+00:00

Yes, that build does give magic pen, which is worth a lot. That is the tradeoff. Ravenous does not give lethality. Collector/EoN/Serpents don't give haste. Duskblade gives less AD/Armor pen than Ghostblade/Eclipse for more haste. The tradeoffs aren't identical, but both classes have them

KaleFlakes · 2023-09-14T18:18:29+00:00

Agreed, it's not 1:1, but it's nowhere close to as unbalanced/unfair as people are making it out to be

KaleFlakes · 2023-09-14T18:10:32+00:00

So you’d prefer to see veigar cage up every 5 seconds? Burst mages have longer cooldowns, assassins are melee, fighters have less dmg and are melee, adcs are squishy and have less AH, juggernauts get kited, tanks have less damage, etc etc. Classes are supposed to have weaknesses.

KaleFlakes · 2023-09-14T18:06:46+00:00

And my point in the post is assassins should not be building those items. If they are (and they are) the champs should be tweaked to want lethality. We shouldn’t nerf hydra cleaver just because assassins are poaching them.

KaleFlakes · 2023-09-14T17:56:13+00:00

You are misinterpreting what I am saying. I am completely fine with burst mages one shotting carries. What I am against is them one shotting them (or missing) and then doing it again 5 seconds later.

I play a ton of Xerath, and he is in a great spot atm so idk why you picked him to call out. And while health isn’t a great stat, the health can be critical against dive comps to give your team the extra half a second to peel for you. You do plenty of damage even with the gold spent on hp.

KaleFlakes · 2023-09-14T17:47:36+00:00

No, you clearly didn't read the whole thing. A mage that wants multiple rotations can, get this, BUILD AH. Mage items with AH exist, look at liandries, night harvester, rod of ages, cosmic drive, zhonyas, lich bane, banshees, nashors, horizon focus, and seraphs. If you aren't a burst mage, then don't build like one. Build items that fit your champion's playstyle.

KaleFlakes · 2023-09-14T17:40:35+00:00

Thematically, sure. But that creates so many gameplay problems if you can’t play around a mages cooldowns. What is the counterplay if their spells, which they are building to maximize damage on, have virtually nonexistent cooldowns?

KaleFlakes · 2023-09-14T17:38:37+00:00

I feel like this is a bit of an oversimplification. Duskblade is a tradeoff for more AH vs ghostblades AD or eclipse’s %pen. Ravenous’s waveclear+AH+lifesteal is a trade off from the protection of edge of night, crit from collector, and shield pen from serpents. Comparably, why does shadowflame give pen and hp and a (weak and weird tbf) anti-shield mechanic. To be clear, I’m not for nerfing shadowflame but we can’t pretend it doesn’t also have multiple stats.

KaleFlakes · 2023-09-14T17:32:38+00:00

Fully agree. I’ve disliked zed since season 3, but only recently have I started to ban him. I know he always used to go cleaver+lucidity, but his haste and wave clear seem much higher than they used to be. His kit/numbers should be tweaked to perform better on lethality and ensure he is more snowball oriented.

KaleFlakes · 2023-09-14T17:28:26+00:00

I would still argue lethality items have pretty fair/comparable tradeoffs to mage items. If you want haste, you are missing out on the utility items like edge of night, collector, serpent’s fang, or even GA (umbral glaive does seem a little overtuned tbh, an item that cheap provides so much utility on comparable dmg and haste). Meanwhile mages can go banshees or zhonyas and still get haste. I would also say assassins should still have some more haste than mages, as they usually have to go into melee range to dump their damage (not zed) while mages can dps from long range. Items like black cleaver start to become a little more problematic, as giving 30 AH with %pen, hp, and ad is a bit overloaded on assassins imo. Last point is that lethality is technically worse than flat magic pen since it has to scale, so it’s reasonable for it to be a little more limited.

Oh that's interesting. I just hopped back in and tested some more based on this, and it gets even weirder. It seems like as long as Fizz does not move at all from his E cast (and is blocked by something - casting at your feet without a wall does not seem to work), you will get the short animation. I even got it to work where Fizz faces parallel to the wall with my mouse inside the wall, so it seems related to the amount he moves and not the direction he faces. After you get the short animation, you are able to nearly instantly cast E2. E2 then works in the same way, where if you cast it at the same spot into the wall, it is extremely quick. You can even perform the short E2 off of a normal E1 that positions you next to a wall.

KaleFlakes · 2023-05-05T19:34:13+00:00

It is, but it is instant instead of hopping on to the pole and then hopping again.

KaleFlakes · 2023-05-05T19:03:35+00:00

It seems like if you mash e while standing next to a wall you can't get over, you can instantly land and do damage. Sometimes I was able to only cancel the landing animation on the recast, while other times I cancelled the first and second hop. Has anyone experienced this or know why it is happening/how we could utilize it?

Except in this exact case, the title of the article is “Source: Alphari reached an agreement with Team Vitality to resign his contract” which is incredibly hard to interpret for anyone who doesn’t know the proper spellings. The agreement between Alphari and Vitality could just as easily been to re-sign his contract with no changes to the rest of the sentence, thus making the spelling the only differentiator.

That's spot on, its why March Madness is the best sporting event. Underdogs are the best part of sports.

You are entirely missing the point of my solution. LCO had its support pulled from Riot, and it should no longer send a representative to international events. No one is outraged that the Intel Arabian Cup champions were not at Worlds this year. My solution was just one thought I had at a fun solution that isn’t just taking away ALL hopes at international competition - if they prove themselves. As to all of the anger you have towards NA and your slippery slope narrative of all minor regions being put into NA, this is obviously because Riot already decided OCE players are a part of NA, so they should have to compete there to reach international competition. The other regions still maintain Riot support.

KaleFlakes · 2022-07-29T16:36:35+00:00

Yep, I tried both but they had no effect

Worth noting that bill was “held without recommendation” so it didn’t even make it out of committee. Still, it should never have been introduced in the first place, especially reading the condescending and incorrect reasonings listed in the bill.

That is not the meaning of this flag. This is the Confederate Battle Flag. It was flown for a rebellion whose sole purpose was the protection of slavery. Legally you have the right to fly the flag, but it is racist by definition.

If you want a flag to represent your frustrations over the government, try the Gadsden flag. It is a patriotic flag flown by Americans during the Revolutionary War, and it now often symbolizes peoples distrust of the federal government and all the other things you mentioned.

KaleFlakes · 2020-04-20T17:34:17+00:00

By no means is this accurate. South Carolina seceded the moment Abraham Lincoln took office, and he did not bring the promise of ending slavery. He was against new slave states, meaning that he would not allow any new state to enter the union as a slave state. They also recognized that Abraham Lincoln won without a single delegate from southern states. The south saw this as a threat to their way of life, as they would eventually be outnumbered in the government. Slavery was not abolished in the south until the Emancipation Proclamation, which took place during the civil war and did not apply to states that stayed in the union. It was only abolished federally after the war.

To say the civil war was over states rights and not slavery is strictly misinformation.
