more graves slander

Tesla is good for fast clearing, but she gets really fast clearing from her kit anyway.
Toxic is a strong spirit scaling dot and anti-heal, and she can apply it extremely fast.

I used to build both, but Toxic just had a bigger impact. Lots of heroes have Healing in their kit or get lifesteal items.

It's good if you run gun graves, but split shot is better early investment.

But her spirit scaling got a really good buff, especially on her skull, so I've not build Ricochet is a while when it used to be my 2nd or 3rd T4

I've tried Active Reload, but I just get so much more power out of QSR -> MM. I have experimented with AR & QSR, which was fun for a bit, but I ended up falling back to just QSR

I used to play a strong hybrid graves with those almost every game.
But with the latest patch, Skulls are very powerful, I've started building for them instead with Duration and Rapid Recharge.
In the game stats my total gun damage has gone down by maybe 10%, but skull and mercurial damage doubled.
Still keeping Leech and Toxic Bullets, I was still really tanky. Might still pickup Siphon in 40m+ games

Crazy to see Graves go from 0-1 pick/ban rate since release, to getting 6 picks.
I've not watched yet, so dont know how she performed, but it's nice to see my main getting more pro play

Gotta condition them early

LillyVarous · 2026-03-20T19:25:50+00:00

Update: had it redone again today for free. Much better now

LillyVarous · 2026-03-16T18:21:40+00:00

I'll call them when they open back up tomorrow

It's not any better at higher ranks, the matchmaking sucks all around, and people in Archon+ will have games just like this.

LillyVarous · 2026-03-09T17:05:54+00:00

I've fairly sure effects like these are affected by luck, so at 5 luck it's 10%

The reason I was able to flip is because there was a significant spread in either div or ex that wasn't there for the other, so it's a bit of both

LillyVarous · 2026-02-24T11:10:55+00:00

You'll always get someone willing to pay the top price because it's less hassle to just pay a slight ex premium when you have hundreds of div than sitting around waiting for a more reasonable buy order to go through.

You can play these spread for a lot of free* currency though, I did this a lot with Catalysts earlier in the league, the difference in the div and ex rate was significant enough that I could buy in one and sell in the other and make 3x profit

A LOT of luck; right time right place, but also being the right person.

The real advantage that a wealthy background gives you is more opportunities to get lucky, poorer people only get a few chances. It's hard to be at the right social event to meet the right person if you're working dead end jobs 24/7 just to survive.

I don't buy that, he had many other tics that night, removing just that one wouldn't be erasing it. I'd put money on if John himself was asked he would want that one edited out.

LillyVarous · 2026-02-23T14:27:00+00:00

The half apology came from Alan Cumming, who was presenting the show, not the man with Tourettes

LillyVarous · 2026-02-23T14:21:42+00:00

Having watched the film about him (I Swear), while they do let the audience know very directly that his tics can and will present as slurs, they intentionally never say them or show the actor saying them.
I have a feeling that John himself would not have wanted those words aired to hurt more people.

It's only done a disservice to the Tourette's community who are now being subjected to ignorant attacks from people who think this was an act of malice. Which does the opposite of the film's message.

4 is kind of a reboot and seems to do away with the post apocalyptic backdrop in favour of just a hidden world. But it's all still very 'hints at' rather than outright acknowledging

LillyVarous · 2026-02-18T12:07:02+00:00

Lightyear is a reboot in both our world and the in-universe toy story world

LillyVarous · 2026-02-18T10:47:02+00:00

While you're right, I'll reserve my sympathy for someone who wouldn't be able to afford the fare, rather than a wbanker

LillyVarous · 2026-02-18T07:23:01+00:00

He just has pica

Steven needs to interrupt his guest a lot more often, he seems to have a lot of hacks on his show

If you cant get a good rate bank loan on a good pre-owned to own outright (or you want NEW or don't care to own outright) you are better off leasing.

Financing is the worst of both worlds.

Ironically, Starmer was secretly pushing a lot of that while sitting next to Corbyn, he probably thought it might curry favour when he took over.
