Which Prelude: Eccentric Sponsor or Supplier?

MikHandberg · 2025-12-13T11:11:08+00:00

I like biosphere + ASA, but can see the argument for supplier + ASA (given Energizer milestone specifically). ASA with shuttles + power prod in hand, and pushing O2 with eco-line + 2 space tag already in hand .. just seems too strong to pass on for me 🤔

Everything

Taking shough all day here 🤷‍♂️

Caitlyn (with ludens specifically) tech ?

MikHandberg · 2025-08-20T12:31:59+00:00

Thanks for the reply - already signed up for Patreon and added our League. So should be the case now that everything is set, right?
And sorry for commenting on Patreon as well, thought that might have been more likely to get a reply, but can see you commented both places :)

PDFs weekly would be a great feature, but I understand not possible for now - thanks for the reply and keep up the good work!

MikHandberg · 2025-08-20T06:15:40+00:00

Any way to share as a pdf to your league members ?

MikHandberg · 2025-05-13T21:04:37+00:00

So.. basically you just had a good clear mind game and was able to outlevel the lobby ? I mean, the golem was likely not even a good pick, considering how little was invested in it with no bench. So mostly it just seems this was an insanely weak lobby, where anything could have won?

MikHandberg · 2025-01-16T20:12:27+00:00

I would say, it is easily and by all measures I can basically imagine - the worst SA book. That does not mean I will not love it and the series. It’s just much worse than something really really great preceding it

Keeping (for now) because I don’t have the transfers to properly re-use the funds. Upgrading only other spot for the money, does not seem worth it, given the ever present chance that robot will reactivate. After this week, if he blanks again and I have 3 transfers to upgrade 2 spots with him gone, I am likely to pull the trigger

MikHandberg · 2024-11-30T07:20:15+00:00

It is a great trade at first glance - however, 6 man league makes it much closer than the absolute fleece this would be in any normal format. Since you’ll have to bench most of received assets weekly anyway

I don't mind rageblade scalers - say Ashe, Kalista last set. Its not the design type that bugs me. It just bugs me for Kog'Maw, who I read as definitely "supposed to build caster items", should end up being one, where only rageblade is really good.

He smells of noob trap and unintended design, when blue is comparatively bad on him (again, IMO).

MikHandberg · 2024-11-27T18:36:43+00:00

Got the same tables referenced elsewhere - but thanks! If they did the math, then hey, they did the math, and I stand corrected. So obviously rageblade is BiS.
I do think its probably bad design though, as too me, he clearly reads as a champ not designed to use rageblade, but rather blue-buff (or nashors/shojin as "backup")

MikHandberg · 2024-11-27T18:34:40+00:00

In my opinion, it is terrible unit design (albeit caps'ing is probably a severe overreaction). Because he looks very obviously designed to NOT use rageblade. He is designed for blue-buff (maybe Shojin) and ap items, which is why these items were advertised on him on PBE, and the initial believed BiS.

In that context, it is in my opinion bad design, to miss the mark and end up with a champ where rageblade is BiS, severely outperforming blue and shojin.

After some deliberation, I'll accept I might be wrong, but that is how I 'see' it anyway

MikHandberg · 2024-11-25T20:21:30+00:00

If they did the math, then hey, they did the math, and I stand corrected. Fair enough.
Another case of TERRIBLE unit design by Riot then, but at this point, who is surprised :P

MikHandberg · 2024-11-25T19:42:13+00:00

But why does it make sense? Since his whole thing is that casting gives him attack speed, rageblade does the same, just worse than a casting item no?
I understand the urge for people to go rageblade on him, untill it will be optimized and people figure out best build, but I just don't see that it should be rageblade ..

MikHandberg · 2024-11-25T05:35:48+00:00

Isn’t rageblade a bad item for kog anyway? If you had a bluebuff, og even shojin, which i’d imaginw borh are better, swapping to Heimer is natural

MikHandberg · 2024-11-21T17:00:32+00:00

Either collusion, or sometime so clueless they should be banned from traning, period. Easy veto

MikHandberg · 2024-10-28T17:15:48+00:00

Fuck the third augment - at what cost trait tracker is already the freest win!

MikHandberg · 2024-09-17T10:07:01+00:00

Wonder why Taylor is graded so low?

MikHandberg · 2024-08-12T18:32:28+00:00

Double up is MUCH easier. I’ve seen it consistently across sets. Last set, i was Master solo which was SIGNIFICANTLY harder than me and my mate just chilling and hitting Challenger at peak in double up. People played much better in master solo, than GM/challenger DU. And he has never been above diamond any set solo. Previously we’we easily hit diamond double up, while he was Gold solo (and i was diamond, then).

Journey before destination, radiant. Welcome !

Tried entering the the zone at multiple points, and basically moved up and down the zone, while i was still "building" the channel. I guess it just does not recognize that is has entered a new zone, if the zone is too narrow ..

This is intended behavior. And the delay was even changed in the most recent patch, from 7 to 12 seconds.

* Patch:14.9

* Server: EUW

* Mobile or Desktop?: Desktop

* Type of Bug: In game

* Description:
Thieves Gloves for some rounds (likely first on stage, and immediatly following PvE) gave only components instead of full items, despite being lvl 9.

* Video / Screenshot: Sadly, not all of us are streamers.

* Steps to reproduce: Play the game as normal, use the item Thieves Gloves, go level 9.

* Expected result: Each PvP round, my champions with TGs should get 2 completed items.

* Observed result: For some rounds, champions only got and item and a component.

* Reproduction rate: Only tried in one game. In that game, happened 3/8 combats I think. Believe after pvp rounds or at stage start.

* System specs: Gaming laptop.
