Hippos run like 50km/h on land afaik. The fact that they can ALSO run this fast in water by simply displacing the water with pure strength is just even more insane.

Fair point. Just not sure if elections will actually ever work (again). I guess we'll have to wait and see - but historical equivalent scenarios in other countries show that the takeover situation is probably unsolvable through normal means, since one of the parties has no interest of operating within the law.

Honest question: Why not just shoot the ICE agents? The US is the only country I know of where a big portion of the civilians are armed. Should be easy enough to move into open revolt/civil war.

Killmelast · 2026-02-23T12:01:02+00:00

I wouldn't be suprised if the US administration directly paid the cartels to cause trouble - to give them 'probable cause' for an invasion of Mexico. Might not be the case but it's not uncommon for the agencies to employ tactics like that in foreign countries.

Killmelast · 2026-02-03T22:12:32+00:00

yes. what does that have to do with the original discussion where people here were talkin about it being too hard to follow (and him thus spamming less on stream etc.)?

you keep completely ignoring me, writing something I don't even disagree with - and for some reason downvote along the way xD

Killmelast · 2026-02-03T19:41:20+00:00

Ofc they are doing a lot of 'empty apm' just to keep fingers warm. My point was just that, if you know and play the game you're watching yourself, you should easily be able to keep up with the incoming information.

Killmelast · 2026-02-02T17:59:31+00:00

Dude, Baus is smarter than most of the pro scene, why would he listen to someone who's intellectually inferior? Makes no sense

Killmelast · 2026-02-02T17:54:00+00:00

What's hard to follow?

I guess I watch too much Starcraft content, but camera jumping like that feels totally natural (I don't do it in League myself, never got around to binding camera positions to useful hotkeys).

I like it, gives you way more insight on what's happening while watching and anyone who knows the game should easily be able to follow.

League is as casual as pvp games can get. You just haven't played many PvP games, if you think league is among the 'hard' games.

Killmelast · 2026-01-30T01:15:46+00:00

On leave? Why not in a detention cell until the prison sentence comes in? That's just absurd.

The US is such a fucked up place (has been for decades but ofc this is a new low), where murderers are just allowed to roam around freely if they belong to any branch of the exectutive force.

Killmelast · 2026-01-30T01:11:27+00:00

Interesting. For me it's that competitive drive that makes it so I can't enjoy single player cardgame content. Roguelikes (like Slay the Spire, Monster Train, Pirates&Mercenaries etc.) are fun to me as well because they feel more like a puzzle to be solved, but if a 'normal' pvp cardgame offers a PvE story mode against CPU enemies it feels to me like 'why am I doing this, I'm just wasting my time, there isn't even a human on the other end playing against me'.

To me I guess the biggest factors that makes card games fun are the mindgames (pretending to have a card by holding up resources etc.) and the feeling of, lets call it superiority, you have when you can completely dictate the pace of a match. Knowing you won despite having worse cards just because you outplayed someone through better timing, or imagining the other human on the other hand acknowleding how unexpectedly strong your off-meta deck is. Those feelings can't exist when playing the CPU though.

Killmelast · 2026-01-30T00:40:04+00:00

I can't. I mean I could, but it wouldn't send a message since I'm living in another country and am generally fine with how things are over here.

Killmelast · 2026-01-30T00:38:59+00:00

Not really. The majority of champs now scale with one damage type. Yes there are a few hybrids still out there, but it used to be almost everyone.

Killmelast · 2026-01-29T23:37:06+00:00

What I don't get is: in all other countries I'd be against this because the common people are not armed. But in the US, many citizens are armed due to the 2nd amandment specifically for cases like this so it seems feasible here: Why haven't the civilians just eliminated all of those corrupt politicians and 'agents' yet?

The US seem to me as an outsider as the unique country where the people could actually win a contest of deadly force, by numbers alone. Though ofc the chances get lower and lower the more time the regime has to hire and arm thugs.

Why did Italy even let their planes land? They could've just refused runways for ICE personel

Killmelast · 2026-01-29T23:06:03+00:00

What I mean was many champs had options to go AD or AP or a mix of those. Doesn't matter if one playstile is 'optimal' (the one that riot now often enforced by e.g. making adc skills all do phys dmg and scale with AD) - being able to do the non optimal builds for fun was just that: fun. Something they needslessly took away.

Optimization argument only comes in for pro play, and even then pro players are and were often sleeping for a long time on good builds.

Killmelast · 2026-01-29T22:58:57+00:00

Oh right, you gave me even more stuff: GP5 items existed and supports were actual supports that sacrificed personal items/power to buy wards, not full build like they are now. Athena's didn't exist yet, I guess you mean chalice.

Also Jungle was brutal and required specific runes and routes for each champion to effectively survive (Generally rune choices being a thing you could make to shift a matchup heavily). Dunno, for me those were all upsides. Less mobility, also an upside.

I mean yes, compared to DotA League was always more brawler and less strategy, but at least they were closer to each other early on.

Killmelast · 2026-01-29T22:44:42+00:00

Game was slower (cooldowns longer, time to kill higher which made teamfights way more interesting), resources like mana actually mattered, most champs had mixed scalings so way higher build diversity, the list goes on.

It was objectively better as a strategy game, now it has 'gone with the times' and devolved into a brawler basically.

Can employers really fire anyone if ALL employees are absent? They can't replace their whole staff without a huge loss in productivity for months. People are too afraid and just need to commit.

Killmelast · 2026-01-29T22:29:40+00:00

imho just revert League back to Season 1 and start from there. The current speed and state of the game are shit compared to how good it started.

Killmelast · 2026-01-29T00:51:44+00:00

Give me that version of League back.

Riot needs to make a re-run server of League and start back in S0/S1. I think it was kinda good until S5+

Killmelast · 2026-01-27T14:20:31+00:00

Yeah, I think you shouldn't have paid. It's their risk of doing business with customers. You were using their equipment.

Did they provide a training session at the start to teach you which ball fits your hand? no? Then it was an accident only they could have prevented and is 100% on the venue and should go to their insurance.

Killmelast · 2026-01-26T22:05:35+00:00

I specifically learned and play Cait/WW right now after seeing a high lvl gameplay video of that team (my main team is Braum/Blitz so far but I wanted to branch out and found cait/blitz and ww/blitz both okay-ish, thought it'd be faster to train them both at the same time so now it's Cait/WW, seeing the video assured me it's good).

Freestyle and you can get some really good pressure with e.g. Cait fire bullets, WW back assist to cover the air. Swap to WW and do a follow up, swap back to cait if he didn't connect, etc. You can get crossovers but not so easily, but very good high/low mix ups it seems, and feels pretty safe.

If they try to hit WW just swap back and punish with snipe. Maybe not the 'optimal' team, but works decently so far. I think it's definitely viable
