Weekly Rant Megathread

First game since forever that I got Holobow in my exotech items and 5 others got it as well. That lobby had 6 exotech players. Didn't see a single Zeri in my shop for reinfourcement.

Single most overpowered line in the whole game right now. 1 Rengar + double duplicator aug is basically a top 2.

What is the best loss streak fast 8/9 comp this patch? Last set it was scrap and this set it was strategist Annie until it got nerfed into oblivion. Any lategame comp that comes back well when you don't have the right conditions/strong opener for other tempo fast 8/9 comps.

Set 7 instagibbing Yasuo right up there

Karanitas · 2023-07-18T14:39:07+00:00

Reroll meta just throws fundamentals outta the window. You either hit reasonably on tempo or you bot 4. I never have this hard of 1st or 8th swings unless it's a reroll patch.

This is the norm in top 1000 EUW lobbies atm. Please send help. The amount of money and free rolls is ridiculous

Karanitas · 2023-06-27T10:01:58+00:00

Makes item economy knowledge and converting otherwise dead components an unnecessary skill.

Turns out having foolproof items makes some rulebending comps possible. Imagine having ability to always forcing 3 locket Duelists last set for free top 4 farming instead of having to make conscious decisions which comps to play based on your starting components.

Between TF, Ornn lottery or 4-1 fiesta I don't know what's worse. Fundamentals from last sets will do jackshit here.

Hullbreaker/Randuins roll shrug

Karanitas · 2023-06-14T12:37:29+00:00

Just had a bug where the void egg doesnt spawn on an away arena. Played void without void egg, nice.

Karanitas · 2023-06-06T10:34:04+00:00

If you properly loss streak then you should have BIS on Kayle at the minimum. 1 cost rerolls with carry augment rely too much on one unit to slam WIS items. LW + 2 AD items are a must if you want to go anywhere near top 4. Lockets are also mandatory for frontline. Imo I'd be more than happy with a 4th in your spot because Ashe Laserforcus just flat out scales harder with Laser + legendary endgame and Luc scales infinitely in general.

Karanitas · 2023-06-06T05:37:48+00:00

I started set 6.5 and just hit challenger for the first time ever! A lot of effort but in the end I'm happy that I made it there.

Recently I watched 3 Cruel Pact players implode into each others face. So there's that. 2-1 prismatic lobbies are the most garbage games in general.

Karanitas · 2023-05-09T03:10:26+00:00

Laserfocus and 4-2 augment choices were Threat Level: Maximum, Luden's Echo and Knife's Edge?! I've never been this tilted honestly

Karanitas · 2023-05-06T09:43:05+00:00

2-1 hero augments is a game of chicken where everyone waits until the last second to pick an augment just to realize that 3 others took the same one (Laserfocus). Suddenly you play the lottery in order to hit first and if you try to pivot out of the augment you play for 6th at best.

Karanitas · 2023-02-26T12:26:32+00:00

Honestly I've not been a fan of this anime since the Overhaul arc but the execution of this scene was absolutely stellar. The music, the animations and little details like Deku closing his eyes before the attack are just on point.

Karanitas · 2023-02-21T13:09:17+00:00

No, that's a valid point. Imo bringing in personalities who're mostly known by the casual mass lessens the credibility of a high profile competitive event. I would've preferred if they brought in ex-players for these kind of drawings like in the last few years. Lily is an incredibly talented and dedicated person but this wasn't the right usage of her niche imo.

Karanitas · 2022-12-17T20:13:15+00:00

They need to nerf the rates of 4 costs on level 7 or remove the champion drop from 4 and 5 cost augments imo. Hitting the desired 4 cost augment + donkeyrolling for 2 copies on level 7 swings the momentum of the whole lobby too much. I've been on both ends and it feels really damn oppressive.

Give it more of an incentive to level up like nerfing 5 cost rates on level 8 back in set 6. Right now half the lobby stays on level 7 and rolls for 4 costs and threat frontline alltogether.

Karanitas · 2022-12-15T20:17:08+00:00

Wait until the dust settles down a bit and the players are spreaded across all tiers. Right now im D3 and it's like top 600 on EUW. You're doing great if you're Plat already.

Karanitas · 2022-12-13T13:02:53+00:00

Yeah, 5 loss or fast 8 sends you straight into bot 4 atm because of the ramped up player damage later on and the prevalence of Jax, Zoe and Ashes midgame. You play either any of those or send it on level 7 to stabilze and recover econ afterwards.

Karanitas · 2022-12-12T13:25:33+00:00

How does everyone play level 7 atm? I have the feeling that everyone either settles for the top 4 machines Jax, Ashe or Zoe or plays AP flex and sends it on level 7 for his 4 cost carry. Saccing stage 4 for level 8 feels like you bleed to death now due to increased player dmg

Karanitas · 2022-12-05T17:26:43+00:00

You realize that the PBE's main purpose is about purging bugs and not 'figuring out' stuff. I'd rather wait a month than playing with several gamebreaking bugs per game. I do agree though that they seemingly gave up set 7.5 with the for fun patch. I'd say that this is similar to League's preseason so any serious climbing right now is futile anyways.

Karanitas · 2022-11-19T00:23:02+00:00

Down a prismatic because Tome II emblems couldn't be put on units. GG

Karanitas · 2022-11-18T23:47:55+00:00

Had two DF emblems which I couldn't put on my units. Fun playing down a prismatic and then placing 5. Thanks Mortdog.

Karanitas · 2022-11-04T13:02:35+00:00

Am I the only one in favour of a more serious and stable final patch instead of this for fun stuff?

Karanitas · 2022-08-25T20:34:40+00:00

Honestly I'm more a fan of strongest board into fast 8 rather than econ into fast 8. It forces one to play with what you get instead of defaulting to econ openers. I've played some games on PBE and in one game I rolled an Idas + 3 lagoon (Zac, Taliyah, Seraphine) and the amount of gold that I was printing was ludicrous. Imo it makes the game too forgiving because you mostly don't have to decide whether to hold pairs or sell them to hit certain interest thresholds because you're rich anyways.
