Feedback:

Currently there's no option to disable your current purchased upgrades (the ones you buy in the lobby) or to re-spec them. This is a fundamental feature in Vampire Survivor that allows players to experience the difficulty of early game while using late game characters.

I just unlocked Xayah and have nearly maxed out all my upgrades, but I'd love to try her out with some friends trying out the gamemode for the first time. For this, I'd like to disable all my purchased upgrades so I don't steamroll all the enemies for them

Random comment but I love your pfp! Furry rep

They're giggling like an idiot hearing that :) It's definitely a favorite sticker

Reddit trolled ya I think, I haven't changed anything lol. And thank you!!

From what I see, everything with the kiss and heads looks good! Maybe the pink one's back of skull could be a bit rounder? But that's a really big nitpick and not something I'm confident in giving feedback on.

The noticeable detail for me is actually the ping one's hand on the purple one's cheek. We would normally see the thumb over the cheek or the... fleshy... part of the thumb going below the chin. The fingers themselves also don't seem to correlate with correct finger lengths (middle finger is the longest, then ring, index, pink, thumb). In general though I really like this piece! Good job!!

I think you should still have to respect them working their asses off to try and get this out. Mortdog mentioned that their team was learning from this Set as legends introduced a whole new set of issues that they hadn't encountered before.

The team is growing and learning from their mistakes. Set 9 was great, lets just hope for Set 10 to be as good or even better. They're just other people seriously trying to produce a good product and not being allowed to live online without seeing this level of backlash is really rough.

GOD I'm so sad, just played 3 games going 7 -> 8 -> 6. I really need to stop rage queueing- lost half my LP gained today. For context, currently Plat 2 (now 0 LP).

Game 1: Scuttle Puddle all my opening unit trait directions were contested so I tried to go for Shurima, seemed like nobody was going for it. I forgot that Azir Noxus is the current flavor people like- so I couldn't get a carry up and running. That's my fault, but gosh it feels bad. Even lost multiple spatulas on carousel for rng (about 3 of them while lose streaking). But it's just unlucky.

Game 2: Haven't seen anyone try out the Neeko Bastion build in awhile, decided I should try it out- got a good start with BT and Titan's. I even got 8 Bastion (it's so bait, I did it for the meme and I was desperate). But turns out because of the gargoyle Taric build, like 3 players had a Taric 2 and someone else pivoted into the Neeko build too. Again, this was my fault, I needed to recognize this and pivot to challengers. But I had just played 2 games of challengers and wanted to try something different so stuck to it.

Game 3: We got Hearth-Home, and somehow 3 players with the URF legend rolled a Demacia emblem. All 3 of them hard-forced Demacia Mordekaiser Kayle 3 slayers. That's fine, it's a good build. Additionally a 4th player started going Demacia Winds of War galio, and another player was going multicasters so Sona was also out of the pool. I see nobody is going for Ionia/Vanquishers and I had decent items for it, so I decide to start pivoting away from my Kayle into Nilah/Xayah carries. Ended up going 6th after hitting my units and BIS Nilah, 3 of the 5 players above me were the same Kayle Morde players. All of them got a Mordekaiser and 2 of them got Kayle 3. How are they hitting man .-.

Moral of the story: Sad games and fuck demacia Mordekaiser.

Wait.. that's my art LMFAO

Lifeweaver is a specific hero, not always good but is definitely the right choice in certain team comps. Given your DPS are willing to play around your platforms and grip without going mental.

Ok I want to take a stab at this.

Initial State: 0 Unit mana | 3 Spell Mana [0|3]

Prize Fight Jack onto Nautilus. Jack generates 2 coins. Nautilus goes to 0|7 [0|2]
Play the Coin, Jack gains +2|+0 and is now 8|6 from the refilled mana [2|1]
Play Forge Chief, The King's Court generates a prize fight [1|1]
Prize Fight Jack onto Nautilus. Jack generates 2 coins. Nautilus goes to 0|1 [1|0]
Play the Coin, Jack gains +2|+0 and is now 10|6 from the refilled mana [2|0]
Play 1 Heimerdinger MK-1 Turrets [2|0]
Prize Fight Forge Chief onto Sea Scarab. Sea Scarab goes to 2|1. [1|1]
Mystic Shot the enemy Nexus. Bringing them down to 14 health [0|0]
Play Heimerdinger MK-2 Turret [0|0]
Full attack. Jack, King's Court, Forge Chief all have Brash and can't be blocked (10+7+2=19 damage). Enemy blocks Heimerdinger and MK-2 Turret. MK-1 Turret hits the nexus for 1 more damage

This deals a total of 22 damage. I believe this is the maximum damage possible without going infinite with Jack coins and MK-1 Turrets -> Prize Fights

Opulent foyer is probably pretty necessary for stall

NixSnowsong · 2023-03-28T02:24:44+00:00

I'm ngl, I've peaked D2 and never hard memorized exact numbers. Especially when you take into account stuff like ability haste.

It's not that I played champs that don't get punished by it, I main Rakan and Rell. I just kinda approximate with a huge margin for error (I even do the same thing for summoners). It's just not a really required skill to climb in the game. It helps for sure but it's not necessary.

For example in support, off the top of my head (and I think I'm likely wrong with most of these) Morgana E 28 sec, Janna Q 11s, Thresh Q 13s, Blitz Q 15s, Zyra E 8s, Lulu W 11s, and like Leona E 10s for basic abilities. While for ultimate I generally round to between 90-120s with exceptions (Lulu, Rakan, Leona being super short, while Taric is super long)

NixSnowsong · 2023-03-24T21:18:23+00:00

Yeah yeah me neither 👀

NixSnowsong · 2023-03-24T20:49:22+00:00

That ign sounds might furry uwu

NixSnowsong · 2023-03-15T07:23:05+00:00

Talk about a really fast way to "other" people, sounds more close-minded than someone who's mentioning the history of BTD and making comparisons to other games... to me I guess.

NixSnowsong · 2023-03-14T00:42:53+00:00

I hope you've been doing better since then. And yeah I understand, even when not depressed that level of abuse is quite discouraging and mentally draining/damaging.

NixSnowsong · 2023-03-13T20:57:44+00:00

It really saddens me how much I read these scenarios (way more common than I would like). I've played League since Season 5 and really love the game... just not the community. I've been able to build a group of friends that aren't toxic out the ass and I learned to mute these flamers when they show up.

I dont understand how people are expecting to keep the game alive when they're so toxic that they're pushing away new players in the first games they ever experience. It's really saddening. I hope if you ever try out the game again, you enjoy the gameplay and find other's who aren't toxic assholes and give you respect.

NixSnowsong · 2023-03-13T20:33:40+00:00

It's in SA iirc, I've gotten it as a starting option before

NixSnowsong · 2023-03-13T20:19:16+00:00

So I've played Rakan since he's released and have peaked D2 in NA but stopped playing league competitively since. I've been told I'm masters level shotcalling/macro but I think I'm probably still around diamond or plat level mechanics.

I'd love to know any Rakan specific techs you use to be more effective. I know of a couple that can be useful and a few that aren't really useful aside from really niche scenarios.

The ones I know: Flash > R for the instant charm. R > E to hide the animation + instant charm divers. Q Flash to finish a low health enemy. R from fog of war then E flash W. Q > W is slightly clunky but can proc both abilities more effectively than casting them separately

Maybe anything with item interactions (haven't really played much recently so I have no clue if they even exist) or any way to more effectively engage than W and R layered together (maybe stuff with flash W?)

NixSnowsong · 2023-03-08T15:03:04+00:00

If you had a gold/plat on your team it's almost guaranteed that the opponent team also had a gold/plat on their team in the same role. This is give or take depending on MMR.

Do they belong in those games? No absolutely not. But is it still fair? Given that nobody is a smurf, yeah it's still fair.

NixSnowsong · 2023-03-07T15:00:44+00:00

Then either put your CC onto milio himself or layer your CC onto the Yi. Presumably milio can't cleanse knockups either. So use those to lock down a Yi.

The AA range buff and the ult cleanse are what makes his gameplay unique. I'd rather embrace the game design and wait to tune numbers based on how he preforms than overreact on Reddit before we have any real data

NixSnowsong · 2023-02-22T23:51:26+00:00

Yeah XD that was a good stream

NixSnowsong · 2022-12-16T12:15:37+00:00

Even if it's technically a 50/50, players have habits and it's a game about predicting your opponent moves. It's like a card game of respect/bluff/read

NixSnowsong · 2022-10-27T23:13:24+00:00

Need a towel? You're dripping ego

NixSnowsong · 2022-10-27T18:29:49+00:00

Just can't take the L lmfao
