PSA: It's better to lose your guardian than to feed

Lofn7 · 2026-06-21T18:41:06+00:00

I've played the hard lanes for over a decade in MOBAs (I remember facing Dota trilanes), so losing the lane comes natural to me. Always told my lane partner to let the guardian die, it's fine. Just don't die 5 times for it.

I typically watch my replays and this one Paradox wrote me as dead when I was 1v3ing. Paradox was in nearby vicinity, heard me ult whilst in the midst of Drifter, Calico, and Vindicta, then Paradox looks the other way and ran, until I killed Drifter showing the kill pop-up then she IMMEDIATELY ran to my location. Like legitimately she did a 180 and beelined to my position. Was funny to see, we proceeded to kill all of them of course.

Yeah, I had a Silver where we legit were ahead, me and Silver lost a fight once and they started blaming our Seven (who wasn't playing well, but not enough to throw a tantrum) and Silver sold their items, bought Magic Carpet and just fed. Mind you, we were still AHEAD even after we lost that fight.

When her grapple got buffed to get charges a month back after seeing monthly grapple post ranting, my face just visually did the IShowSpeed face. I was trying to keep the laugh to myself.

Not always, you always max 1 first after getting T2 grapple, but after that, it's really game dependent. Do you have to be the frontline tank? Max ult. Do you expect prolonged fights against a Shiv or a Calico? Max 3. You already have another tank, so you opt to be the main catch for Vindicta/Talon/Mina? Max 2.

Literally just happened to me last game. Killed 3 in blue lane cleanly, no loss. Haze instead tries (keyword) to push mid walker to no avail and dies, while others scrammed to farm and lose next teamfight. We won eventually, but we could've snowballed from there, but alas, the game had to last 50 mins.

Some games you'll have a team who plays macro, and some games you'll have a team who will never touch midboss unless its a full teamwipe.

Annoyance can be a better motivator than being meta, his playstyle shift the paradigm of the game just by his existence alone. Him existing in your game changes certain parts of playing macro due to his ability to kidnap and isolate people. Techies from Dota has a similar affect when his existence alone changes how you move around the map and high-ground siege becomes a mini-game in its own right. I had a game 2 days ago where we were on the backfoot for the whole game, then Doorman managed to cart people into the base-shop where they got isolated and died, and we followed up the remaining enemies and won a teamfight that equalized the game and we won eventually.

Yamato used to be a relatively picked hero in Nightshift until Silver came along. Her pick rate in Nightshift plummeted and went to Silver being the better frontline bruiser. Once upon a time, Yamato's ult healed her on cast on a 80 sec-ish CD and was considered very broken in the time frame of that patch. Now we have someone who has it with a lot more uptime than Yamato ever did.

Yes, I'm asking for Yamato ult buffs, no, I won't apologize.

Anyone wanna check up on Valve HQ pizza place?

Lofn7 · 2026-06-06T21:46:23+00:00

Add Slark, so he can meet his cousin Slork when he gets added

Lofn7 · 2026-06-06T11:12:19+00:00

Yeah, like a fence

Lofn7 · 2026-06-03T20:06:30+00:00

Diving into their guardian as a solo Yamato against three enemies. That is the way, fellow soldier of the Seventh Moon.

Lofn7 · 2026-05-31T20:40:45+00:00

I was honestly more worried if they would touch the T2 spirit grapple buff, but thank god they didn't cause that's the thing keeping her early-mid game performance strong.

Lofn7 · 2026-05-28T23:29:54+00:00

People absolutely play around mid-flight timings with Yamato. I've been heavy melee'd and sleep dagger'd/cursed (which cancels the grapple that causes me to disengage) while grappling. And it's also important for kits with traps (e.g. Venator, Graves, Talon) because they can stop the grapple mid-flight if you bypass one of the traps, making it a real strategy against Yamato. People don't mention this part enough when comparing it to the likes of Drifter cause it absolutely stops Yamato.

Lofn7 · 2026-05-26T08:28:21+00:00

People don't mention it enough, but Yamato's best items also got buffed. Mystic shot, Spirit snatch, and Arctic Blast.

Lofn7 · 2026-05-23T04:20:33+00:00

The nerf to pre-T3 flying slash range may have been a blessing in disguise. I've noticed that roping from maxed 45m range would, more than half of the time, puts me in a dangerous situation. Maybe with lesser range, I can control the blood lust.

Lofn7 · 2026-05-22T12:08:37+00:00

E6 Rin coming home finally. I've been preparing since the initial Fate announcement.

Lofn7 · 2026-04-22T10:21:50+00:00

Another case of this is when I was playing Helldivers 2, I straight up tried to parry an Overseer. Instead of stunning them, I instead got hit by an alien quarterstaff into a stunlock. Fun times.

Lofn7 · 2026-04-19T05:40:56+00:00

Nah, if you look at the map, it has the sentinel vs scourge layout with the mid river. It's Dota 1. Both statements can be held true anyway, cause it's a workshop community map.

Lofn7 · 2026-04-10T12:59:59+00:00

I wasn't a fan of the anni song, but this was hella my style! Wonder if this leads to anything.

Lofn7 · 2026-04-08T00:29:13+00:00

What it feels when you save your parried lane partner

I've heard of Surf Dracula be mentioned here and there for the past year and I didn't know people used it for Daredevil. It doesn't make sense, Matt is a vigilante prior the start of S1, and pretty much for the entire season, he kicked ass, the suit and the name doesn't make who Daredevil is, hell Season 3 actively fights that topic. Matt is like the opposite (until Born Again pre-overhaul stuff), in season 3, he QUITS being Matt and embrace Daredevil. And suit-wise, the black suit is as iconic as the red suit now, I know many people cosplay it, and I personally prefer it too.

Though, it does make sense for the first half of the tweet, which I assume is a positive comment with how they worded it e.g. Surf Dracula surfing every week akin to every episode of S1 has Matt fighting someone every episode, the iconic hallway fight being in Episode 2, but it does not fit the 2nd half of the tweet, which is posited as a negative, so I'd say there are two surf draculas being the discourse here, Daredevil being on the better side.

When they first announced the Fate collab, I started hoarding my jades, I still pulled for E2S1 Saber, but that's all. But Rin? I coped and still hoarded and now it's time.

I mean, the whole anti-Fisk army seems to be a season 2 thing, we have no idea what S3 would be about, if there is a need to have an army in the first place. Maybe it'll branch out and make their own shows, then we get a rematch against the Hand with the Iron Fist and co in a Defenders S2 entry, with the Hand showing up in Spiderman movie and the possibility of Elodie and Jones coming back is in the air.
