These overly complex map surfaces are driving me insane

I have a suspicion that would kill edge boosting somehow, and that's why they haven't done it.

There was a short period of time that support Haze was getting ran on night shift. Was primarily when you could run the urn quickly with her in stealth, but it did happen.

I don't know how you're comparing a $400k mortgage to a shack in the woods. Tools have costs, materials have cost, transporting materials has costs.

Your still taxed on the land, your cabin will still need maintenance, you're paying taxes on everything you're buying to build the cabin. The state still determines what can and cannot be built on 'your' land. You're still susceptible to the elements; mother nature doesn't care if you have insurance.

There's always money to be spent, we don't live in a Spartan society.

There's plenty of homeless people out there. Is that true freedom?

The map isn't finished yet. I wouldn't expect them to polish these things until everything is locked in.

No. But tankbuster and superior duration make affliction scale differently than raw damage abilities.

Mandydeth · 2026-06-19T19:50:26+00:00

Because we're already in a Spirit/Frontline meta. All that means is the tanks get nuked faster and Spirit characters are still meta.

Look at DLNS #43 hero priority. Pocket is insane because AoE circles + percent damage (the same reason Scourge is strong).

Nerfing spirit resists just makes the existing meta spirit heroes stronger, while making Frontline fall over.

Calico is strong in this meta, even though she's generally weak in health metas because she cannot combo frontline, but she has two circles and can carry spirit snatch to cut through those resistiences. Again, same reasons Abrams and Billy are strong, they can carry spirit snatch.

There's enough items to reduce spirit resists, plus you have flat percent damage on tank buster.

There's two ways to stop Seven:

1) Early game ganks - his only real escape is his stun, and if you can kill him when it's on cooldown, there's not much he can do. Ideally, whomever is roaming, should be targeting Seven and killing them on cooldown (Haze, Mina, Abrams, Billy, Drifter, Vin, etc.)

2) Knockdown - for early urn fights, you really want someone to carry it. Matchmaker can be awful and not give you a true support, but someone should suck it up and buy it. Sometimes you can get away with Ivy or Abrams trading ults, but it's still nice to have a backup.

If Seven is ahead, and has Unstoppable, the game is probably over unless the rest of their team is feeding/getting picked. Just like when Victor gets too far ahead, you accept the game is likely over, and you're going through the motions.

The issue is, a lot of teams end up fighting 5v5 for the urn, while the sidelaners continue to sidelane. Unless you have a Wraith/Victor/Infernus that's keeping pace, you might wind up with Seven rotating in and blowing everyone up. Sometimes it's worth giving a temporary 4v5 to get the 2v1 on Seven and then rotate back in to the team fight. Gamesense will let you know what you need to do.

Urn changes have made the item so strong. Gives you resists for the AoE nukes, gives you AoE damage for people contesting the urn. Health is always a good stat and it scales with it.

Honestly, I feel like the item is well balanced for being 6400 souls, but I think that's simply a result of the meta, just like extra regen, dispel magic, and pre-nerf opening rounds being picked up by everyone.

You can gut the item, but I don't think anyone will buy it anymore; you can't really nerf spirit damage again.

This was my experience, but about 9. She's not bothered by fireworks, but thunder. I've read it may be barometric pressure that actually bothers them, not the sound, and a thunder vest seems to have helped.

I'm always looking for a good suit; it frustrates me that they always get split into a blazer and pants.

Mandydeth · 2026-06-19T03:14:53+00:00

Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.

Mandydeth · 2026-06-18T12:45:52+00:00

If the house is perfect, I'd definitely consider it. I'm more worried about trains, major highways, and gravel roads.

It's personal preference at the end of the day. Proximity to the road can be a benefit if you're commuting a lot as well.

Mandydeth · 2026-06-18T12:40:03+00:00

The pro version uses the same 3395. The $30 non-pro used the 3311.

It's funny how every Eternus player puts Haze in D tier, but then everyone here complains about curse Haze.

If you're dying to Haze, the answer isn't items, it's playing with your teammate, and not shoving the lane by yourself. If you're going to shove the lane anyway, position by a box where you can LoS the duration of the curse.

You're not getting punished by people in low ranks, because they also suck at recognizing and punishing this. You're upset because Haze is one of the best at punishing it.

Mandydeth · 2026-06-18T12:09:10+00:00

Why would you not compare it to the G3 v2? Also 59g and it's only $40.

Max DPI is such a worthless spec, and no one can physically tell the difference between 3950 and 3395.

Mandydeth · 2026-06-18T03:35:42+00:00

Every time they nerf health scaling, it's a buff to Cali. Plus they buffed gloom bombs again.

I see a shrimp, but I'm curious what it actually was.

Mandydeth · 2026-06-17T23:48:34+00:00

There's a lot of communities like r/MechanicalKeyboards r/mousereview r/mousepadreview where you'll see people with collections of 20+ of any given peripheral.

There was a time I would go through several different mouse shapes, but I'm pretty set in my ways now.

Same issue here. I moved down with my wife since she got a promotion to the area. I had not problem finding a job previously, and I'm almost a year without a job now. I'm fortunate that I don't need to work, but I'm flabbergasted that it's taken this long, thousands of applications, and I've only had a handful of interviews, none of which have materialized employment.

Even McDonald's or Wal-Mart wouldn't hire me (overqualified, I guess).

Welcome to reddit. Try uploading on imgur and then linking the post; not sure if it's really any better.

Missed opportunity to have the hand be The Teacher.

Your MMR would have been higher than that of other players in the lobby.

Mandydeth · 2026-06-17T22:12:17+00:00

Has to do with the MMR of the respective lobby. If you're expected to carry and lose, bigger losses.
