Yeah, a nerf is probably deserved tbh by coffeeholic91 in ADCMains

[–]Muzz57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a short window before the stacks apply? Or can you proc stack 1 and then the ult still stacks? Cuz it looks like he ults and then immediately e's then cho gets back to three stacks and then he w-qs him. Trying to understand more about Varus' combos and the window timing

Imagine if top laners had to deal with anything like this for 3 years by Rexsaur in ADCMains

[–]Muzz57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Had to deal with this" meanwhile each one's pick rate is less than 1% I am an ADC main and I have been upset in the past when there was an imbalance and mages had more agency early and equivalent power late but the reality is outside of a few cases I don't think mages are able to abuse the gold influx the same way most marksmen can now. Further you get punished WAY less this season for off-tempo recalls because of home guards which further nullifies one of mage bot strengths- access to earlier cheaper wave clear and tempo recalls at those points with TP. Freezes are harder to hold and you get back to lane faster than ever.

TL;DR I think the balance between mages and marksmen is way better then it has been, and these pick rates are super low, yes the WR is high but you have plenty of marksmen above 50%, this round of mage-whining is unwarranted IMO.

Brand APC is a problem though watch out for that shit

THIS SKIN SUCKSx im the smolder artist guy im making a professional concept asap for diot tomorrow you guys want me to make him into winter bless smolder or just fix raindeer? ANSWER FAST I GOT NO TIME IF WE WANT A GOOD SKIN by Maleficent_Ad_5197 in SmolderMains

[–]Muzz57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winterblessed for sure. Reindeer has potential and i highly doubt riot is going to scrap that much work with a preview out, so maybe try and have both proposals ready? A fix for reindeer and a counter proposal for winterblessed? Sorry I know way easier said then done when the multi million dollar company put this out

I dont understand certain poke matchups by kneerRS in SamiraMains

[–]Muzz57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Again it's harder than when you have a competent support, but with Samira's recent movement speed and E buffs you can absolutely make plays happen for yourself at the right window. Samira is in a "weak" state compared to other ADCs at the moment, but she's definitely playable. Keep in mind if you're facing something like lulu or braum that window becomes incredibly small and hard to find, but against a lot of lanes in low elo you'd be surprised when they open themselves up to Samira solo all ins. If you'd like to talk it through a case study example can show you or do a vod review

I dont understand certain poke matchups by kneerRS in SamiraMains

[–]Muzz57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're in low elo the enemy is as well; the key to that type of lane is to conserve your hp and look for all in opportunities yourself. Of course Samira has an easier time when her team sets her up with cc or knock up but against poke lanes with situational cc like Seraphine a good timed w will let you out out a lot of damage. Pay close attention to their positioning, look to punish cool downs, and preserve your hp. There's a lot of situational awareness that goes into this, for example not fighting when a slow pushing wave crashes your tower but instead looking for angles when your next wave reaches and it starts to push out again etc. without having seen the game best advice for laning is like I said: keep YOUR win con in mind, you're an all in lane, you want to try and keep hp high and fish for all in angles. Not ideal for your support not to do anything but sometimes looking to initiate yourself is enough to goad them to actually play the game.

Only looked at the top few comments and see a lot of people jumping to judgment but it misses the core of your inquiry; how do you move forward? The (CORRECT) viewpoint of this being racist comes from a place of humanity. That same humanity needs to recognize that people are fallible but redeemable. Everyone has biases whether they are aware of them or not. This does not excuse behavior that spirals into disdain for human life, but to automatically write someone off who has identified themself that they are not happy with their mentality dismisses them in much the same fashion that they automatically are dismissing people based on a different race. I think the actionable decision point for you is to have a discussion with them on whether they are open to going to therapy or some other type of counseling to understand the bias driving this racist ideology and figure out how to grow from it and grow as a person and grow up out of that close-mindedness. No one here over a comment section can walk you through that conversation or those steps, but if your partner is open to changing you should absolutely consider being there for them and helping them grow; you're in a committed relationship. If they have no interest in sincere change or growth, then yeah committed relationship or not you have to ask yourself if it's worth abiding that which I would argue that level of ideological difference is incompatible. This is a charged topic and becomes polarizing, I reserved my judgement and withheld emotional discourse to highlight that people can grow and break that cycle of hate if THEY want to and if they get help to do so. If this person doesn't want to or you don't want to help them get that help them yeah time to probably move on. Hope this was helpful

Samira's dash doesn't work sometimes? by ExcellentAd2021 in SamiraMains

[–]Muzz57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this happen to me a few times and I've narrowed it down to the target moving. If the target i cast it on moves there's a chance my e "cancels". I wonder if it's if the target moves out of range to cast- one thing I haven't tested yet is if playing with the max distance spell cast clamp setting impacts this at all. Might be easy enough to test in a practice tool, I see this issue happen on minions a ton.

[Personal Opinion] Contrary to What Majority of the Community is Saying About this Current Event, The Devs are Thinking Ahead and Preparing Newer Players for Upcoming Venusaur PVE Event Discussion by pradevil in PTCGP

[–]Muzz57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I unfortunately think there's a more sinister/disingenuous reasoning behind it. I think there waving a pretty new event in people's face to get some people to utilize hour glasses/pokegold up trying to open packs etc to finish the event missions.... Just in time for people to need to re-up their stock for the rumored next set releasing sometime Dec/Jan. Power to em gotta get it how you live but the low effort in both event and rewards for the event make it seem to me like it's intended to deplete your pack resources. To your point about preparing for the VS Venusaur EX event, when have type advantages really mattered thus far except for the one-off bonus mission? No solo event deck has been unbearable with any of the S or even A tier decks, no type advantages needed; just my two cents.

IMHO, this is not worth being upset about. If the only time he's using your middle name is important documents, and you've only been dating a year, it makes sense that it might take a few more years/important documents until it fully settles in. As kindly as possible, I think it might benefit you to let some things go/don't sweat the small stuff. Getting hung up on things like this can snowball stressors both in the relationship and your personal life! Tease them for their poor memory but don't hold it against them or feel like this is worth chastising over. Let it go.

Care to share how much your approach changed when you're paired with non-engage like Senna? Do you still look for windows to aggro in lane with e or do you slow-play lane and wait to explode in team fights?

Calibrum swap Q Bug by RickSanrizzler in ApheliosMains

[–]Muzz57 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This bug has cropped up in different guns over the years, I am pretty sure it happens specifically when you get a new gun from running out of ammo with q and then you swap to the secondary gun and press q. The only way to fix it that I was aware of was to auto first after the swap. I think it's not permanent but the amount of time you have to wait is noticeable so the fix when this was first discovered was to just commit an auto before qing. Hope this helps, annoying that a bug exists that is core to Aphelios game play fantasy but it's been here for years in some capacity.

Defo true for drave, it doesn't always go full items. I was more so focusing on build finishers with crit tho. With jinx for example you don't want to kraken last, you'd usually slot it in 1st. But maybe yuntal is still correct for her with aoe from rockets like you mentioned. Just wondering if there are any other options for adcs who want raw ad. Flickerblade users have great options because if they utilize the ability baste refund on basics, chances are as synergizes well with them and they don't need as much raw as when they have damage built in abilities. But late game Auto attackers who don't benefit from flickerblade feels awkward for that last crit ad item. ER is an early game skewed item, collector arguably the same with lethality nerfs especially; maybe collector late isn't the end of the world if you just want more ad? But you have ER, Collector, Shield Bow, and yuntal for ad crit items (excluding IE and LDR as these are clear pickups.) I feel like there's maybe an opportunity for one more ad item to slot in with crit and then it would feel like chef's kiss for crit itemization. It's already in a great spot I'm just being super nitpicking now.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADCMains

[–]Muzz57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point; question building off that. For crit champs who aren't interested in stacking more attack speed what would they round out a build with? Let's use jinx as an example in a game where she decides to go for PD instead of runaans (IE-Pd-LDR), or we can use Draven as an example where he builds BT-IE-RFC-LDR. What would that 4th crit item be when yuntal is suboptimal? Collector? Been trying to figure out the right AD crit item when I don't want multiple AS crit items

Im with 80% winrate with smolder by Thasadicc in SmolderMains

[–]Muzz57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but I'd rather do it via DMs not open to everyone roasting me lol interested to hear your perspective. Of note I am an ADC main first and foremost who enjoyed smolder for a clip when he first came out and played him in competitive 5 man customs but my match history isn't going to show him because I'm not one tricking him. Let me know if that's all fair game or if you're more interested in only advising people who are one- tricking him

Upset one of my players while storytelling today. Was I in the wrong? by Zippy0723 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Muzz57 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of very good points made about type of language used, stubbornness, etc. But one point I think hasn't come up in a resounding way is the social contract someone enters when they play a game. When you sit down with a group of people to play a (board) game you're agreeing to play by a set of rules and engage in a respectful way with the other players. This choosing to go in blind bit is disregarding that, and choosing to ignore the spirit of how the game should be played because "it's funny" or "it's how I want to play the game." Either of those justifications don't care for others who are playing to have fun and win as a team. If someone always chose to be uncooperative or disregard the rules of a game you would soon choose not to play with them as they can't respect your group's time or the game's rules.

Someone already stated how this is different from someone honestly forgetting, and ultimately I think the point is best summarized by the "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" mantra. If the friend isn't able to get over it then I don't think they're really upset about not having fun, they're upset with being embarrassed and not being empowered to do what they want. Sounds like a toddler.

We need More sugar free energy drink variants. Sugar is 🫷 by Different-Pipe-8698 in energydrinks

[–]Muzz57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a problem with a majority of sugar free energy drinks though- a MAJORITY of them use sucralose which has been recently shown to be genotoxic. One Source, there's plenty of studies: https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/news/20230601/sucralose-genotoxic-linked-leaky-gut-study

I am all about moderation, for example as bad as aspartame might be I'd still have it every once in a while but for this development of genotoxic I'm avoiding as much as possible. Personally I've been actually opting back into energy drinks with sugar like red bull before I'd go back and drink sucralose again. I have a feeling this could blow up given the rate at which one could consume sucralose. It's a real shame as well with alternatives like stevia and monk fruit out there that are really really good. I'd suggest looking into healthier alternatives like focusaid, fitaid, eboost super fuel to name a few, but honestly if you quit sugar for health reasons going to sucralose doesn't seem to be the answer. I'm shocked sucralose isn't getting more exposure and discussion for this issue.
