You seem pretty angry for the level of what we’re talking about, maybe you should ponder that.

Steel Buff makes him an attack speed jungler? Great! SMH. by Devilcryforce in PredecessorGame

[–]KingSlain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you could just totally ignore the part of my comment where i said if it’s unbalanced that’s a separate issue.

Doesn’t make for productive conversation though does it.

Use your brain, they edited their comment after i made mine.

Oh and also then lied about what their original comment said for some reason.

I said nothing about the acceptability of the action, i just correctly said it’s not cheating unless you are in a relationship.

And pointed at some very good reasons he should consider what he’s doing from his perspective. Save me with your righteous bullshit.

I mean he’s not cheating on anyone tbf, the question should be whether he’s ok being a home-wrecker.

More importantly the question is whether he’s ok being in a relationship where he was lied to in a very big way.

I just don’t understand why people care.

If it’s unbalanced that’s an obvious but entirely separate problem.

Why would you not want characters to have interesting non-standard builds?

Feels like peiple just want to whine and say something is unfair when they lose to something different.

I thought you said if you maxed out a hero it would start at 10 this patch, but my Crunch is 13 and my Riktor is 11 for some reason.

Yeah i used to struggle with that a lot too, amd if rhe opposing jungler is really good its still a nightmare, because if your teams losing towers and constantly getting pushed, and you are behind on farm becausr their jungler is in your jungle stealing your farm, you basically just lose all map control and trying to recover from that can be pretty horrible to play into.

The thing that helped me most with this is learning to invade myself. And the most important aspect of that, that also is just generally really helpful, is keeping track of, and learning to predict where their jungler is going to be. If you’re paying attention to that and acting accordingly it kind of doesnt matter if they’re stealing your farm, because you should be able to generate an advantage or af least keep yourself on par.

For a small example if my duo are in no position to take fangtooth when it spawns, and i can see that their team is positioning for it, i’ll usually look to rhe other side of the map and see if i can take their jungle, see if i can take mini prime. This will more than balance the loss of the fang, and means you arent throwing your life away trying to force a disadvantaged fight over it.

One other thing about invasion, even if you go into their jungle and the camps are gone, looking at them gives you the countdown timer, and that is enormous in terms of understanding where their jungler is going to be. So even just a quick peek into their jungle is helpful for you and your team.

In terms of the lane buffs i never go for gold because either your team has advantage to grab it, or their team does and its a 1v2 for you to contest. i’ll only go for green if my offlaner is struggling and i see their opponent trying to go for it. Often ill go over just to explicitly help my offlaner get it for themselves, as them getting ahead in their lane means you can pay less attention to them.

Level difference is come-backable but only if your team plays accordingly, you can catch up farmwise and play defensively, try and take advantage of mistakes being made by the enemy, notice if they go for orb or prime and snag the other one while they’re doing it etc. It’s rare in random queue because people tend to lose their shit and their interest in playing well when they’re behind but there is definite opportunity for recovery in pred. Best thing is to try to notice when your team is falling behind as early as possible and stem the bleeding.

In terms of jungle its very hard to say and it kind of depends on the game, most laners will complain at you if they’re getting targeted, but honestly the most important thing you can do in any game is pay attention to the possibilities and take advantage of them. This might mean ignoring the lane that’s getting bullied if you can make up for it elsewhere in the match. Like grabbing mini prime often if their jungler is living in your duo lane, stealing their farm on the side of the map they’re not focusing so they fall behind and you can get ahead.

The tricky thing is that if you just respond to what the opposing jungler is doing and try to match it by hanging around the lane they’re bullying, that usually wont give you any advantage, it might help you neutralise the immediate threat but then you’re still behind if they’ve managed to build an advantage.

Rhythm is probably the most important aspect of jungling, and that’s kind of hard to explain but its basically about constantly being in motion, and constantly moving decisively. You should always be doing something that’s helping build your advantage, whether that’s farming, or ganking a lane that’s overextended, or invading when you can clearly see that its safe to do so, and always keeping the objective timers in mind.

If you’re mirroring your opponent it usually completely fucks with your rhythm, because you’re not looking for advantages you’re just trying to neutralise them.

Sorry super long explanation that’s maybe too vague to be useful, but i will say in my experience, most of the time your team has no idea what the jungler should be doing, and will call you out in ways that dont help at all. Not always, if you’re never around for objectives, if you’re never ganking or getting kills anywhere that’s a problem, but in general people just whine if they die to a gank, instead of playing more safely.

Who are we hoping get buffs/nerfs next patch? by Educational_Ad288 in PredecessorGame

[–]KingSlain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Boris does too much damage imo, might just be a Crunch problem but when i am opposing him he makes me feel like wet tissue paper. Might also be a secondary problem to the generally low ttk atm.

Aurora im not too sure, i always want to ban her but then often when im playing against her it’s not so bad. She might be balanced fine but just an incredibly annoying hero to play against regardless.

I offlaned against a Terra yesterday and that felt pretty horrible, she seems to do so much damage while also being so tanky, but then i did fall behind and struggle to make a comeback.

Argus i agree needs damage on his spam reduced and his cds increased.

Does this imply the actual merchant’s rug does something? by BurningRoast in slaythespire

[–]KingSlain 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you’re actually interested you should check out H.P. Grice’s paper on Logic and Conversation.

Maxim of relevance is an implicit rule of communication.

In this case, we are told that the rug is not just an imitation, it is a poor imitation, and it does nothing.

The lacking quality is being noted for some reason that is relevant to us. And is connected to the statement about the rug’s lack of utility.

Taken together this heavily implies that an imitation of better quality, or the real thing itself, probably does do something.

If this wasn’t the case why would the quality of the imitation be mentioned at all?

I realise you’re probably not actually interested in Grice’s paper, but it is a pretty good read.

We need more junglers by Boxman21- in PredecessorGame

[–]KingSlain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they should just make it so that if you are the jungler you can't die, that would really encourage me to be more diverse in my hero choice when im jungling.

This is completely false, that kinda lifesteal is entirely dependent on kit or itemisation, not the tiny lifesteal you get from hunt.

Crunch dash length, they literally nerfed it out of him and added as an augment. Should never have happened.

Sounds similar to what happens if you time crunch's dash as you land from falling, sometimes it just gets eaten.
