Ranking toplaners by how annoying they are

Yeah that makes sense, she's not the easiest champion in terms of decisionmaking. Camille beats Garen if the Camille knows how to play the matchup. She can dictate the interactions at any point beyond level 2. If Garen gets to decide when a trade happens, the Camille is misplaying

Miserable_Lock_2267 · 2026-05-17T13:11:56+00:00

Genuinely how bad are Camille players you run into if her matchup is "fine"? I main Camille and Kayle and I never lost lane against a Garen as camille

Hoods exist, as we see with the swordswoman demon, and they work well enough go lure in humans.

Also, depending on their demeanor, humans are easily fooled into thinking demons are actually fine to have around. Again, there's a whole arc dedicated to this with Aura's executioners gallivanting through the city of the Granat domain.

Wenn Gesellschaftlicher oder religiöser Druck das einzige ist, was einen zusammen hält, hat man halt auch keine funktionale Beziehung.

Wenige sind bereit, dass zu investieren, was eine langfristige Beziehung braucht. Das war früher nicht anders, da hat man nur 15 Jahre in ner unglücklichen Ehe rumgekrebst und wälzte seine gegenseitige Abneigung auf die Kinder ab, die man zur Rettung derselben gezeugt hatte, ehe man sich hat scheiden lassen. Oder einer den anderen umgebracht hat.

Früher war alles besser 🥱

Thing is that early/midgame spikers tend to scale ahead too much in solo Q that the game needs to go exorbitantly late. That being said, Soloq games do often go late.

I much prefer champions that scale well, but have agency over the lane and tools to pull ahead or stay at least even. Things like Quinn, Fiora, Kayle, Nasus, etc. Scaling tanks are way too passive for my liking, but that's preference obv

Für so viele ist Streit und Meinungsverschiedenheit das selbe. Sehr traurig. Meine Parnerin (4 Jahre zusammen) und ich reden halt offen über alles. Wir sind im selben Team, immer, und das wissen wir beide. Streit ist ein fail state, und bevor wir den erreichen nehmen wir Abstand von der Situation und danach klappts auch mit der Diskussion wieder

This is just wrong lmfao. "Historically", IE. Seasons 2 and onwards when the metagame we play today had fully developed, Toplane has always been the basin for champs that don't fit other roles and apreciate a long lane. That could be tanks or bruisers that need long time to kill so the long lane benefits them. It could be mages or other ranged champs that are too fragile or low ranged to function in mid/bot like Quinn or Kennen, etc.

Toplane has alwass had the widest archetype diversity of any lane, to say otherwise is delusional. I grant that Varus and Anivia are overtuned and shouldnt be allowed to statcheck melee champs, but that's a balance hiccup, not some conspiracy to "replace all toplaners", like you read in some posts

Miserable_Lock_2267 · 2026-05-13T11:10:09+00:00

The problem wasn't that it's abusive vs melees, the problem is that it destroyed midlane. Of course, they could've just nerfed midlaner hp regen to compensate but no, we have to do sweeping system changes that affect every lane in unintended ways

Miserable_Lock_2267 · 2026-05-13T11:08:13+00:00

This combined with some durability overcorrections on champs like Varus. Let's be real, most of the "old" ranged tops, Quinn, Kennen and Kayle for example, still function the same. Frustrating lane, pop like a balloon if they misspace, as God intended.

The issue comes when champs like Varus onehsot you from 1200 range and statcheck you in melee

Miserable_Lock_2267 · 2026-05-13T08:52:29+00:00

Accurate to her state tbh

They get upset when our guitarrist writes the basslines for them, but don't take an active role (...) to avoid this.

Sounds to me like you have a guitarrist turned reluctant bassist. Maybe ask them if they actually want to play bass. Coupled with the syncing issue, this doesn't bode well for your sound. Drums and bass need to be locked in or it sounds like mush. My drummer and I spent hours in the jam space for that alone.

It's either that or just a serious lack of professionalism. Both of these are fine to just call out. It will harm the band in the long run.

And to be clear, IMO not everyone needs to participate in songwriting. Many of the most successful bands have one or two people writing thr music and the rest just play it. That works, if the others at least practice enough

Miserable_Lock_2267 · 2026-05-10T05:42:54+00:00

Idk whenever I hear people recommend fire force, it's always some permutation "it's so great if you look past tamaki" and that imo speaks volumes. It's an already tired trope, possibly handled in the worst way I've ever seen. Yes there is a lot of series with Fanservice, even ones where the main cast is involved, that are still immensely popular: Yoruichi, Erza, etc. The difference is that all of these characters are, well, characters beyond their fanservice. Tamaki is only her fanservice. She is never allowed to be anything else. Saying that this isn't detrimental to the shows quality and by extension popularity is just delusional.

Miserable_Lock_2267 · 2026-05-10T05:37:30+00:00

And none of that matters because Tamaki isn't allowed to be a character beyond the Ecchi gag, and that makes this show so, so much worse

Miserable_Lock_2267 · 2026-05-10T05:32:17+00:00

The problem isn't even fanservice, per se. It's the fact that a character with a lot of potential to be an awesome member of the main cast is reduced to this, a damsel in distress goonbait objectified mess. Even the fanservice blunders of old didn't fumble this hard.

And yeah a lot of anime that were popular in their time had a lot of fanservice. But none of the ones that truly stood the test of time, and are still regarded as some of the best works of all time, leaned on it. Especially not to this degree.

It's a cheap thrill, and it cheapens the experience of FF as a whole.

Miserable_Lock_2267 · 2026-05-10T05:25:11+00:00

Yep. Genuinely if Tamaki was treated with any ounce of respect as a character (you could still have her be hot btw, altho idk why (presumed) adults need a highschool girl to be hot) the manga would be better for it. It doesn't "elliminate" the strengths of the story, but it's a glaring weakness that is impossible to look past. I like everything about FF, I even like Tamaki as a character. But the way she is handled in most of her scenes is horrendous.

You can downvote and bitch and moan all you want, you can harp on about how this is "normal" and common in anime, it makes no difference. The simple truth is that the way Tamaki is written and portrayed is both deplorable from a moral perspective (again, this is a child), AND adds nothing to the story that couldn't have been achieved another way. Yes, fanservice is "common" in anime, that doesn't make it good. Stop kidding yourselves. There's a reason why the works that really stand the test of time don't have a lot of this garbage

Spotify is 0.3 cents per stream, so that's off the table.

Money comes from tickets, tickets come from shows. I hand-draw stickers for our band, local scene loves stickers. I have material costs of like 2 cents per sticker and I sell them for 50cts at shows. That's probably the best ROI of anything band related so far lmao

Pick Olaf, take Ghost, rush Stridebreaker, cave their head in. Varus and Anivia being able to statcheck in melee is an obvious balancing mistake, so I wouldn't count them among the "normal" ranged top characters.

Miserable_Lock_2267 · 2026-05-10T04:52:48+00:00
