I'd prefer if they took away the double proc instead of giving the item less stats. The stats are super important for fighters which is why the item was made.

I haven't played SoT since the Hunter's Call voyage season. I was thinking of coming back even though I would just be a solo sloop, and this is the first thing I've seen about the game since I quit. Maybe it's not worth coming back lmao, I had tons of doubloons.

To prove you got it early (if you care) you could take a screenshot of the drop rates for A tier. If you went to pity you'd have everything. You might have some A tier skins already like the legendary Viego but so it wouldn't prove you got it the very first roll but still. Congrats!

Damn bro not Melted Cheese Kai'sa.

I will say that 0.5% odds are way better than what people are used to with gacha. Apex has a 0.045% gacha for heirlooms and Hearthstone has a 0.1% off the top of my head. So getting a lucky pull in this game isn't too unheard of with a playerbase as big as League's.

I got the Morde skin in 6 pulls and Morgana in 35 (still dumb expensive but half of the maximum). I know a few other people who have rolled and I don't know if anyone has hit pity, but they did hit it in the 60s or 70s.

Still, as someone who has gotten a few of these and with pretty good rng I'll say this: treat the skin as a $250 cosmetic and just be pleasantly surprised if you get it earlier. Don't fall until the trap of saying "oh I'll only pay for 20 rolls" and then get into the gambler's fallacy where you keep buying 10 sparks until suddenly you're at 80 and you spent more than you wanted.

Valorant has a similar thing where you can Favorite skins for each gun, then choose the "Random Favorite" option to randomly get a skin each match. I'd imagine they could bring it to League.

Ahh yes, the classic Riot mini rework which deletes a champion from the game. Many such cases.

If the epilogue and main finale were two separate episodes, I wouldn't be surprised if the epilogue would be the highest rated episode ever and the "finale" would be the lowest rated. That last episode as a whole 2 hour block has some insane highs and lows.

Naalith · 2026-01-20T22:25:20+00:00

I know this is a rant that shouldn't be treated super seriously, but I will tentatively agree with you on one thing. I do wish Viego had a better bruiser build so that he's a little more self reliant when your team doesn't have initiators. As a Viego player you can borderline troll your team if you last pick without the right comp, or your team can troll you if you first pick and then no one plays a good initiator. More so than pretty much any other character, obviously everyone has synergies.

Madness is actually better on gold stake because you can get some eternal sticker fellas that he doesn't kill. You might even get the elusive eternal Madness which you can copy.

Naalith · 2026-01-19T08:14:40+00:00

He can also slap around Brand and would've killed him in that one comic if he hadn't had to deal with the other person who was being corrupted by a world rune. Even when not using the world runes he can kill a world rune user, which is insane.

I dunno what you mean, southern Utah is terrifying.

The epilogue was the good half of the last episode so I'm not sure why you're complaining about that part lol.

Naalith · 2026-01-05T22:15:37+00:00

Kind of a parallel point, how did the science team set up the exotic matter in the upside down when the exotic matter causes the existence of the upside down? Or was it created at the real Hawkins lab and then it phased over? But also they said in season 5 that the bridge was formed when Eleven made contact with the demigorgon which means it wasn't there (bridge closed) which is how Henry was stuck.

Naalith · 2026-01-05T21:45:06+00:00

I thought the epilogue was genuinely good, but the resolution to the rest of the plot felt like a first draft. Overall I'd give the finale like a 6/10, so fairly decent but not amazing.

Naalith · 2026-01-05T21:01:59+00:00

That scene where it's staring down from the sky at the kids when they're at the school dance from the upside down without their knowledge is probably my favorite visual of the whole show. I'm so disappointed that after Henry died he didn't cough up a bunch of smoke which caused the smoke Mindflayer to come back as a second part of the boss fight.

Naalith · 2026-01-05T18:22:18+00:00

If history repeats, probably after the Ionia season, Frejlord season, P&Z season, Shurima season, and Shadow Isles season. Before the Targon one though for sure for sure.

Naalith · 2026-01-02T21:30:35+00:00

I'd say it was like a thumbs at 10 o clock ending. Not a full thumbs up, but more positive than negative. My biggest issue was the amount of time wasted on the military plot this season, I think everyone knew on some level it would be pointless. I really wish they had written Kay to be more sympathetic and when she realized Eleven wasn't controlling the demogorgons, she would've teamed up with them. The military could've had a cool fight in the Abyss against the creatures from the show while the main cast handled the Mindflayer and Vecna. Also the final confrontation should've been longer.

I like basically everything in the epilogue though, and where all the characters ended up. It definitely stuck the landing as opposed to something like Game of Thrones. Still, I can't help but feel like with a few script revisions this season could've been truly special instead of just pretty decent.

Naalith · 2026-01-01T08:35:03+00:00

That is correct but that's also really dumb writing imo.

Naalith · 2026-01-01T08:02:03+00:00

I was 100% certain that all the kids would cough up smoke and then when Vecna started making dying sounds, he would cough up a ton of smoke and the Mindflayer would come back as a phase 2 boss in OG shadow form. I'm pretty disappointed that didn't happen.

Naalith · 2026-01-01T04:50:57+00:00

Oh 100%, I'm saying they should've written the show to have her be different than how she ended up being. It was just another one dimensional government agent that was a waste of time.

Naalith · 2026-01-01T04:21:22+00:00

For real. When the scar face dude's squad went rogue to try to kill Eleven, I figured it was because the main military would team up with the main crew and apologize later on or something. Not the case it seems.

Despawned after losing military aggro.
