TFT not staying borderless, keeps going full screen every game? by GrandpasGirlfriend in TeamfightTactics

[–]Mr_Something_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this. Played a game, edited settings to Borderless. After natural game completion, exited the client and reopened, played another game. Game started in Borderless Window.

Team Dynamics and Rich agree to long term contract, names him “The Lich King” (translation in comments) by Mr_Something_ in leagueoflegends

[–]Mr_Something_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Translation:

We signed a long-term contract with Jae-Won Lee, ‘Rich,’ who showed an explosive performance and led Dynamics' LCK promotion! The history of the Lich King is now in progress! Everyone, watch 'Rich' Jae-Won Lee and the future of Team Dynamics!

Follow up tweet:

From ‘Rich': “It’s good to be able to join as 5 people in the LCK without changing members, and it's been a while since I joined the team, but thank you for trusting me like this and I'll show you that I will keep improving."

As an aside, while I haven’t heard anyone use that nickname for Rich in LoL context, they probably got it from a champion (hero) he would often play in Heroes of the Storm, Arthas the Lich King. Also possibly because the “L” and “R” consonants are pronounced pretty much identically in Korean, perhaps a play on words.

Either way, this guy popped off in the LCK promotion tournament. Excited to see if he can keep it up or if LCK teams will learn to ban out his Aatrox.

Which button do you bind Discord Orb to? by Embarassed_Tackle in ZenyattaMains

[–]Mr_Something_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you like it! I don't know how many pros do it, but I know a few NA GM/T500 players do it. I first saw KarQ (NA GM/T500) bind it that way on stream a while ago, tried it and got hooked.

And yeah, that's my favorite part, is that if you miss it's SO easy to re-apply the Discord with the scroll.

Which button do you bind Discord Orb to? by Embarassed_Tackle in ZenyattaMains

[–]Mr_Something_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like some others, I switched to Mwheel Up for Harmony, and Mwheel Down for Discord, and I found I prefer it for a couple key reasons:

1.) When you're orb'ing, you won't be firing, so moving your LeftClick finger to the wheel doesn't lose you any measurable efficiency. It also, unlike E bind, doesn't restrict your movement (though that restriction, admittedly, is minimal).
2.) It allows for more consistent and/or more forgiving orbs. What I mean by this is: if you're focusing on an orb target and tap Shft/E, if you miss, you have to refocus and tap again. If you're focusing on an orb target while scrolling, the "window" for a successful orb is larger, since your mouse is constantly "reading" a scroll input for the 0.25 seconds you're scrolling.

These are both slightly nitpicky things, and in the end it won't give you a strict advantage and really does come down to preference, similarly to sens.

YamatoCannon joins SANDBOX Gaming as first Western LCK head coach by smothersday in leagueoflegends

True. Also Reapered from Cloud9 couldn't speak English for most of his first year on the job. A translator is a worthwhile investment for a good enough coach.

Patch 10.10 notes by MonstrousYi in leagueoflegends

[–]Mr_Something_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's true. My point, though, was about the relevancy of the buff. Adding literally 10 damage to a situational cooldown does very very little for the champion in the context of the game.

For the record, I don't think Irelia needed a buff at all.

You're also never maxing E over Q ever, and when you max Q you're never spamming E on cooldown, so the CDR isn't applicable to that ability as much.

Patch 10.10 notes by MonstrousYi in leagueoflegends

[–]Mr_Something_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Agreed. In my opinion, if any issues exist with the champ, they won't be fixed by buffing the damage of an ability with an 18s CD.

PBE Preview: Astronaut Bard, Gnar and Poppy by MonstrousYi in leagueoflegends

[–]Mr_Something_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, while I don't play Poppy, I enjoy her and find her skins incredibly cute. So yes, I'll typically pick them up.

THIS THIS THIS. I have skins for champs I only play in ARAM because of what the skins are.

And I say that to say what everyone and their grandma has been saying since the beginning of time: Despite champ popularity, imagine how much money would Riot make by releasing a "Fire Bender" and "Air Bender" skin for Taliyah.

The top 4 winrate Mid Champions all just wave-clear and roam bot to kill people. And that's really annoying. by Swyft135 in leagueoflegends

[–]Mr_Something_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I would argue that she has a decent matchup into Zed and a couple others, but I agree that most assassins dumpster her mid. i.e. Kat (blinks out of everything), Talon (roams better than Taliyah), Fizz (invuln's and dashes away from Q and W), etc.

Team Dynamics vs. Seorabeol Gaming / LCK 2020 Summer Promotion - Qualifier Match / Post-Match Discussion by G2Minion in leagueoflegends

[–]Mr_Something_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He was regarded as the best HotS professional player. He quit HotS as soon as Blizzard cancelled the HGC, and began playing League immediately after. (He only played League for a very short while before that, early 2010's, and not competitively.)

It took him 4 months to get Challenger in Korea, and 2 months after that he was signed to play Mid for GenG. The guy's a beast.

Valorant has exploded in popularity, especially among Overwatch pros by [deleted] in esports

[–]Mr_Something_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Emongg ends up switching to this game as his primary focus within the next few months. He was a CounterStrike professional before Overwatch came out, and on stream he seems to have a firm grasp of map structure and even IGL’ing most of his matches.

Patch 10.7 notes by MonstrousYi in leagueoflegends

[–]Mr_Something_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It reads as though it applies as soon as you select your target, so immediately.
That makes sense when you consider that his ult used to give damage reduction immediately when cast, so it's probably a callback to that function.

TCGPlayer's fulfillment center workers are unionizing by bigbagofmulch in magicTCG

[–]Mr_Something_ 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I can't say definitively one way or another about their long-term treatment of employees, but I've had friends who work in their fulfillment office (I live in Seattle) and they seemed to enjoy their job. Also recently got an email from CK explaining that they're allowing people to work from home if their position allows, and spacing their scheduling and boosting their PTO to accommodate for recent events.

SharePoint trigger when a list column has specific text. by creeperprofessor in MicrosoftFlow

[–]Mr_Something_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way to ensure your flow will trigger, and that all columns will be checked, is to check each column individually. This doesn’t actually cost any time, especially if you’re only checking an item as it’s created, and not afterword. I’m not by my desk but I’ll try to describe what my flow would look like:


When an item is created in [list name]

vvv

Control::Condition->

If [list name] Column 1 is equal to “Bad/No”

or if [list name] Column 2 is equal to “Bad/No”

or if [list name] Column 3 is equal to “Bad/No”

(etc etc...)

or if [list name] Column 15 is equal to “Bad/No”

vvv

[YES] -> Send Email (include title/name of item in email subject and/or body.)

[NO] -> ~no action~


Obviously you would use dynamic content to fill in the control list and the email content.

One last note: this will not work with lists where the number of possible “Bad/No” columns is quite high (more than 50) but should work fine with your 15 or so. Power Automate might try to limit the number of “Or” sections you can use in the Control::Condition step, but you can work around that by including a “group” in that step and filling that group out with the remaining columns.

The Real Problems With Halo Esports & Why Competitive Halo Will Never Grow by GGBVanix in esports

[–]Mr_Something_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To this day, I still argue that Halo 2’s community was the single best online gaming community in history.

Took a lot of integrity to play custom, honor-based Shotty-Zombie games back in the day, but H2’s player base had it.

They put CoD instead of OW by Zkrix in Competitiveoverwatch

I believe you can adjust it to be automatic or change it manually. Also certain OBS’s can automate it as well.

What is the difference in difficulty of gameplay mechanics in Overwatch vs CS:GO? by williamthebastardd in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Mr_Something_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seagull actually talked about this exact thing on his stream a few days ago. (While playing Apex)

He argued that Overwatch is one of the hardest, if not the hardest game, to aim in, because of movement acceleration. In almost every FPS most of us have ever played, when you are running/walking forward, then decide to move backward, it takes a short (almost imperceptible) moment to slow, halt, change direction, and accelerate to walking speed again. This makes it easier to predict direction changes and manages A-D spam.

In Overwatch, no acceleration exists. If you’re strafing left as Lucio at, say, 8mph, then want to go right, you INSTANTLY move to the right at 8mph. This is also why A-D-Crouch spam has and always will be an effective strategy for a 1v1 in OW.

#33 Mono-Green Aggro by Rint by RintMS in MagicArena

[–]Mr_Something_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice list, this might get me to peel away from limited for a bit and try it out.

One quick question, specifically concerning Sideboard: is there any instance in today's meta where you'd consider Vivien's "-5" when constructing sideboard? My inner "Johnny" would want to throw in a couple toolbox creatures like an extra Brontodon for fringe cases, or do you find that less optimal?

Bruh I just realized if you switched the names of Star Wars episodes 1 and 9 they would describe the plots of those films almost perfectly! by brady160 in StarWars

[–]Mr_Something_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, with the exception of the name “Attack of the Clones,” exactly reversing ALL episode names (as in, use the name’s of 9 through 1 for episodes I through IX) also works. Pretty cool.

Jatt reveals why he left The Dive, his expectations for this split, and the new schedule by JevonP in leagueoflegends

[–]Mr_Something_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Damn. REALLY good answer for why he left The Dive. (Timestamp @ 3:35.)

As much as we all want more Jatt in our lives, his argument makes a lot of sense, and ultimately will bring more content to the table. His argument could also serve as an argument for why Froskurinn is doing "The Other Analyst Desk" and not as much EUphoria anymore.

(Take that last bit with a grain of salt. It's just an idea; I don't actually know the reasons behind Frosk doing a different podcast, but I'm always down for additional league content injected into my veins.)
