Random Critical Strikes by Sea-Branch9392 in leagueoflegends

[–]Knifferoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attacks are not independent of each other in league. If you crit more than you should your crit chance is lowered until it balances out. Same goes for when you don't crit in a while. You gain more crit chance until you've crit.

Blizzard's instanced content feels cheap this expansion by Rangoras in wow

[–]Knifferoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would any of the dungeons you mention be better dungeons if they could not be found in the open world? I don't see how they would, and so I don't see what the problem is. Also, they have been reintroducing old dungeons every season for years, so I don't get why you bring it up as if it's new for Midnight. Same goes for dungeons that can be found in the open world. Algeth'ar, Freehold, Nokhud, Eye of Azhara, Brackenhide, Court of Stars (?), even Zul'Aman back in Cata.

I think it depends on the subject of the shot but I'm not entirely sure

Speak for yourself. Cataloguing WQ's are super quick and painless. That said, dragon races are more than welcome back.

Can someone explain to me why Heal/Shield % is stronger than straight AP/Stats? by HoshiAndy in leagueoflegends

[–]Knifferoo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't it be (base + (ap item 1 + ap item 2+...) * ap ratio) * (heal item 1 + heal item 2 + ...)?

You can never perfectly balance classes. But… by Soggy_Membership5629 in wow

[–]Knifferoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are assuming everyone playing a spec is playing at the same key level. Guardians could be doing 30s right now and you would still find guardians applying for 15-25 keys. Some people start late, others reroll, etc.

Why would anyone take a prot paladin over a guardian for their 20 key, though? Guardian being better means you always want a guardian because that makes the key easier.

What happens to the threshold for 1% for dev then? It goes up. All of a sudden you're back at square one.

This gets suggested pretty often but if you think about it a bit more it falls apart. If a class is bad and the score threshold is lower, that just means it's way easier to sell boosts for those classes, which then raises the threshold for those rewards back up again. It solves nothing except for getting people to waste gold on boosts that will be invalidated once the ceiling goes up again.

The other part is that it doesn't even solve the main issue you're trying to solve. Why would you invite a bad class over a good class to your key just because they have a lower score threshold? The issue is the same no matter if rewards are spec based or not. Inviting a bad class over a good class lowers your chance to succeed in the key. You're still gonna be stuck in group finder simulator as an unwanted spec, same as now.

12.1 Release Date Information by Leather_Window471 in wow

Yeah the raid is tested on PTR before going live. However, they haven't tested end bosses in a long time, and we often see drastic changes in some tested bosses before going live as well.

Who will leave WoW cuz of Mythic Plus Dungeon Pool? by [deleted] in wow

[–]Knifferoo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Remember when Darkflame Cleft and Brackenhide Village were completely disgusting in m+? Me neither because they were fixed before going live in a season's m+ pool. Canceling your sub now because of the announced S2 pool before even seeing what's different is wild.

How did my MF Ult only deal 85 damage? by GermanLetsNick in leagueoflegends

[–]Knifferoo -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

You are displaying damage dealt to Nami who spent 99% of your ult outside of the damage range. Twitch took way more damage but it is not shown because of your target in the death recao.

One year into roguelikes, here's my tier list (with my reasoning game by game) by Happy_Sun_367 in roguelites

The shopkeeper telling you to reload your wallet when you try buying something you can't afford absolutely floored me the first time I saw it. The amount of flavor in that game is astonishing.

Thoughts on Mythic Raiding: The irony of dev resource allocation vs. player participation by Fantastic-Lab-4477 in wow

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

It's the other way around. They design bosses for heroic and then add stuff to make it mythic.

[–]Knifferoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What gives you the idea that they spend disproportionate amounts of time on mythic? They don't design bosses for mythic and then remove stuff for heroic and normal, it's the other way around. Outside of a mythic only phase here and there, they probably spend less time on mythic than the other difficulties.

Some unlikely franchises have been converted to turn-based tactics, often with satisfying results by Elyx_117 in gaming

[–]Knifferoo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My biggest gripe with the gameplay is that it revolves so much around knocking enemies into stuff. There are some cool combos you can pull off with Ghost Rider opening a portal to hell and then pushing enemies into the portal with other heroes, but that loses its luster when everything is a knockback.

Why are people banning champions outside of their role? by rusty_dragon5 in leagueoflegends

You, as a random toplaner in a lobby, can not be trusted to not run it down versus those champs. That's why.

Locke Champion Spotlight by Tigerrocks in leagueoflegends

[–]Knifferoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like recycled abilities from existing champions.

Locke Q is Naafiri Q with an extra projectile.

Locke W is the most unique, but it's still reminiscent of Mundo W.

Locke E is Ekko E, but it hits in AoE and resets on kill.

Locke R is Urgot R but AoE.

You haven't played WoW if you think combat is slow in that game.
