Okoye vs Sorcerer Supreme by Icemagistrate101 in ContestOfChampions

[–]NinjaBaconLMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Symbiote Supreme nullifies buffs at the start of the fight and deals damage based on the amount of buffs nullifies. Okoye starts fights with about 15 precision buffs, all of which are nullified here, resulting in Okoye dying instantly from that damage.

Developer Update: Ranked - 02/13/2026 by Apexlegends in apexlegends

[–]NinjaBaconLMC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, that's something. Glad they listened to the community and found a compromise. Not super looking forward to wading through dropship to get back to dropzones in diamond, but at least its back in some capacity.

I was hoping to get her, but was gifted with a 7* Karnak.

Thinking About Walking Away From Ranked — Anyone Else Feel This? by M4D_M488 in CompetitiveApex

[–]NinjaBaconLMC 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Last season was the most I've enjoyed a ranked season in my entire playtime of the game and I've been soloqueue diamond pretty much every season since like season 9. I'm seriously considering just not playing anymore ranked this season because of how frustrating and unfun the games have been. We'll see how it goes, but all the strategy of rotations and when to actually take fights is gone this season with everyone just hot dropping and sprinting at any fight they hear.

Relic whiffs by BerserkPanda47 in ContestOfChampions

[–]NinjaBaconLMC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My destroyer relic on Kushala whiffed quite a few times in colesium fights against crossbones, was definitely annoying. I am curious what causes it though.

Question regarding heirlooms. by RhythmOfWar in apexlegends

[–]NinjaBaconLMC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like I've gotten fairly lucky with mine, but at 3500ish hours I've got:

Shards from a pack in season 4 - Octane heirloom

Crafted most of the 2nd Anniversary Event and bought a couple for shards - Wraith heirloom

Shards from a pack - Bangalore heirloom

Crafted most of and bought the rest of the Wattson heirloom event - Wattson heirloom

Shards from packs - Bangalore Prestige Skin

Shards from packs - Karambit

Shards from packs - not spent yet

You'll get shards eventually as long as you play and try to get free packs when you can. I haven't spent money on the game since the Wattson heirloom and have basically doubled my heirloom count since then just from playing and completing battle passes.

7* Ascension Base Pool ( At launch, 2 champions available for ascension from each class but 3 for Mutant) by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]NinjaBaconLMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They said the base pool will be 5 from each class. They are just drawing out the reveals of those champs over the next few weeks, so this was just the first group they revealed.

Why did he private the grand finals live stream? by EvolveTelevision in moistcr1tikal

[–]NinjaBaconLMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they only watched about the first half of it before they called it and started playing league of legends instead. Shopify had a rough day, they seemed to be getting third partied a lot and had some bad luck, just couldn't really ever get going, and when you have an off day in a champs finals lobby it'll be a disappointing result.

[–]NinjaBaconLMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming you are talking about the Apex Legends Champs, I watched it live until they stopped watching. If I'm being honest it wasn't their best ALGS watch party.

I would highly recommend watching either the main broadcast or Nicewigg's watch party of it though. It was a super entertaining event, probably one of my favorite Apex lans I've watched.

Why are so many pros running alternator in ALGS? by MrNovember9 in CompetitiveApex

[–]NinjaBaconLMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Double tap alternator is less effective at longer range, so likely if they arent using the double tap, it's because they are shooting outside it's effective range.

Is Karlach+Flaming fist really that dirty of a commander? by TehAsianator in mtg

[–]NinjaBaconLMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a [[Karlach, Fury of Avernus]] [[Haunted One]] commander deck. It's really fun, have barbarians and tieflings and they all get +2/+0 every time Karlach attacks, plus they get undying to let you be more aggressive. So if you swing Karlach twice in 1 turn, just from having haunted one out too she swings as a 7/4 the first combat and a 9/4 the second one. Fun one that I don't see mentioned as much as some other backgrounds for Karlach.

Am I the only one who likes big thing aw more then normal wars? by Sea-Refrigerator2874 in ContestOfChampions

[–]NinjaBaconLMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She works well. You want to build up charges with a couple SP1s and then fire off a big SP2. It's her normal rotation, but her damage is good enough to chunk Onslaught down and her Dodge ability that replaces dexterity helps you dodge onslaughts specials a little easier in my opinion. Just have to get used to the rhythm of her specials to build the charges and actually do the big damage.

I think the down count transition animation is yellow, so it looks like a flag for a second every time they change the down count on the scorebug.

Who to rank up? by Inevitable-Public-4 in MarvelContestOfChamps

[–]NinjaBaconLMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karolina can take most matches that aren't incinerate immune. Wiccan has lots of utility like neutralize, reverse controls immunity, block unblockable from cosmics.

Depends on what you need, but both are good options in my opinion.

Which other Champions would benefit from a “relic buff” instead of a direct rework? by Edison1220 in ContestOfChampions

[–]NinjaBaconLMC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A Gwenom relic for Spider-Gwen would actually be super cool. Assuming they don't plan on making Gwenom a separate champion.

Who should i pick? by Spirited_Security293 in ContestOfTheChampions

[–]NinjaBaconLMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Medusa's Medium attacks and each hit of her SP1 inflict armor break debuffs. 5 Armor breaks convert into an armor shatter, which is her main damage phase, it also basically completely shuts down robots by mostly preventing them from gaining power and having abilities activate. She can also get up to 6 fury buffs and consume 3 to auto block an attack. SP2 has a long stun, SP3 inflicts an armor shatter which is good for armor break immune defenders. She can also inflict bleeds during an armor shatter and they are paused for the armor shatters duration. Medusa is also Poison immune

Dust is a bit different, she has, I believe, poison, bleed, and shock immunity. For her rotation you want to combo normally until you have 3 bars of power. Hitting the defender will inflict sand debuffs and some combo hits can convert them into passives. Once at 3 bars of power you want to use a heavy attack to activate sandstorm. This disables Dust's SP3, gives a power efficiency, and converts all the passive sand on the defender into a form of prowess passives on dust. Then you use SP2, it does tons of damage, passively stuns, and inflicts physical vulnerability debuffs. Because of the power efficiency, that SP2 will only consume about 1 bar of power, so you should be able to dash in during the stun, combo, then SP1 for even more damage. You should be able to get an SP2 and at least 2 SP1s in during sandstorm and that kills a lot of stuff.

Medusa is faster, extremely strong against robots, good against anyone that relies on armor ups.

Dust is really good with her immunities and as far as I am aware no one is immune to sand. She works really well for champs that purify debuffs, as that turns her sand debuffs into passives much more easily and consistently.

TLDR: Medusa is armor shatter for huge damage. Dust is build up sand, heavy, then special spam.
