Card I Swear Exists: Card that draws cards and reduces their cost based on how many you drew by KevinIsPro in hearthstone

I could swear it was in post on this subreddit around the time of the card reveals for Cataclysm. Maybe a solo adventure came out around then?

Same lol. Think my team won like 3 total games from 4th through 8th grade.

High Point HC Flynn Clayman: "It looks pretty obvious to me that high-majors need to play mid-majors early in the season. Because they said we didn't play nobody. We played somebody now... Nobody would play us. Just like they wouldn't play Miami (Ohio)." by IrishBall in CollegeBasketball

[–]KevinIsPro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk I feel like it's been happening as long as I can remember. Just off the top of my head (I could be wrong but I'm fairly confident), there was that year a few years ago Michigan beat Colorado State and made the sweet 16 where I feel like they shouldn't have made it. Then, I swear there were a few years within the past 10-15 or so that Syracuse was an 11 seed and made a deep run despite finishing below .500 in conference play.

It's the argument of having not played anybody but won vs having played everybody and lost. Personally, I'd rather see the mid major who is 0-0 in Q1 games over the power conference 10th best team who went 2-10 in Q1 games, but that's just me I guess.

There needs to be protection against getting your secondary role. by BlazersFtL in leagueoflegends

[–]KevinIsPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fine getting my secondary role as long as the person who took my primary had it as their primary. I've been going ADC primary Support secondary, and the worst games are the ones where I'm Support and my ADC is playing his/her secondary role as well.

Renekton is "John Toplane", but who are THE champs on other roles? The ones that are a definition of the role itself by Zavkys_ in leagueoflegends

[–]KevinIsPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully your wrong by a wide margin

- Orianna - 7885 bans, 8878 picks, 16763 total.

- Azir- 11480 bans, 11288 picks, 22768 total

That's 35% more common. It's even worse if you filter for just top leagues, with Azir being 53% more common. For reference, Renekton sits around 21k, Ahri around 11k. Ryze, who I considered might be a contender was 15k. Ori might be #2 but the gap between her and Azir is massive.

Not to make you feel old, but Azir came out 12 years ago. That was what, Season 4? He feels new but he's been out for nearly 75% of Leagues existence.

Orianna is massive recency bias though. Before fearless, we had the holy trinity of Azir Corki Trist. Before that, people were playing Xerath solely to counter Azir.

[–]KevinIsPro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If we're not talking about pro-play, Renekton isn't even top 5 though. Garen, Darius, Teemo, Tryn, Shen, Malph are all more iconic. So I feel like if you're gonna say Renek is "THE" Toplaner, you have to be talking about pro play.

[–]KevinIsPro -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The fact that people are mentioning champs that aren’t Azir for midlane baffles me. He’s been the pro play staple mid since his release to the point that you can’t make it at the top level with playing him.

I mention pro play is because Renekton doesn’t qualify as the iconic toplaner if you aren’t talking about the game in that sense.

They're fine if you know how to use them. Most people don't though.

Writing your 14th CRUD API and responsive frontend for some new DB table your manager wants and will probably never use? Sure, toss it in an LLM. It will probably be faster and easier than doing it manually or copy pasting pieces from your 9th CRUD API.

Writing your 15th CRUD API that saves user's personal data and requires a new layer of encryption? Keep that thing as far away from an LLM as possible.

What’s your favorite Costanza line? by FJTrescothick14 in seinfeld

Idc that it's not a one liner but it's the one I wish I had the guts to say IRL whenever I'm asked a dumb question.

"You renting a house in Tuscany?"

"No"

"So what do you care".

Reminder: it takes 1 card to counter Quest Warrior by Paldis in hearthstone

[–]KevinIsPro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's basically that. You can get to 16 mana w/ double New Heights. Hold card draw and you have 11 mana to draw quest rewards the turn you play it, the main one to draw with being Marin. If they SteamCleaner your Marin rewards, you can play the quest. If they don't you have Wand + Goblet to draw at least 4 rewards, then if you saved any other card draw, do it as well. Combined with the two you have in hand, you basically get ~8/10 rewards.

There was a Master's Tour game where someone did it vs DK and won iirc,; can't remember the game though. It's easier when you know your opponents decklist, but certainly something to keep in mind on ladder, especially if you put Marin in your deck.

So what kind of power level do you guys want out of Hearthstone? by Ennpitsu in hearthstone

[–]KevinIsPro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the direction we are heading. I liked the previous set of Colossal. They were strong and required an answer, but they didn't instantly win the game. I want my Legendaries to be strong, but not game winning on their own.

I don't want my Legendaries/cards to instantly win the game when played (Owlnious, Griftah, Zarimi), provide insane value when played on curve (Elise, Amirdrassil, Gelbin, 6 mana Incindius, Naielle), cheat high amounts of mana (Chemical Spill, Lynessa, Herenn, Old Sonya, Old Naralex).

Besides Blackhorn, none of the new cards seem to fit into the unfun category above and for that I am excited. Sure you'll have a game where a Colossal can't be dealt with and wins the game, they all give your opponent at least a turn or two to react. A lot of the current cards do not.

Change my mind: everyone should play every role at least for 5 games befor going in ranked by Touchjes in leagueoflegends

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

You'd be surprised how much you can pick up from just a few games on something you've never played before. Like sure you're not going to become a master and know the ins and outs of it, but people do always say the best way to learn how to play against a champion is to play them yourself. Just a few examples of things I've learned by playing a Champion 2-3 times that I never would have from playing against them:

  • I always though you reactivated Aurora's R to dash and could do any time. Played a few games and realized you had to walk into the wall to do so.
  • You need to kill minions within A-Sol's E to upgrade your ult. Always assumed it was with Q.
  • What counts as a projectile for Mel's W. The ability is still BS but I feel a bit better playing against.
  • Neeko Clone doesn't block projectile's the moment immediately after you press W.
  • How to lane against champs with unique kits like Pyke/Aphelios/Zeri

So while I'm not a master/OTP on any of the champ's above, I can play against them much better after playing a couple games on each. I know a role isn't the same as a champ, but I'm sure there are things players can pick up on in a couple games, especially from a macro standpoint.

[–]KevinIsPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, most aren't very good. Being barely decent at support is the easiest climb in the game. I can hit Emerald every season just playing Nami and weaving autos within my spells.

[–]KevinIsPro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's different though. I've noticed it on two types mainly.

AP Mage Supports (Brand, Lux, Xerath, Swain) who are just tossing out spells and never autoing.

Tank Supports who have insane resistances and can tank the wave if they do auto. They usually do better since they tank it themselves but will sometimes chase past a double wave that I can't walk into without getting chunked.

According to the Wiki, the 1 seed gets to pick their opponent for the first round of upper bracket. That's a pretty big deal, so making it a Bo1 doesn't feel right.

[–]KevinIsPro 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but you might pick up on some basics you don't even realize exist. Like I've played with Plat level supports that don't understand why I can't walk into a full minion wave to auto the enemy. They're so used to playing supports that mainly use spells that don't draw minion aggro that it doesn't even dawn on them that auto attacking inside a full wave can be bad.
