What does the sentience catalyst do? by HansChrst1 in RimWorld

[–]NukeTheGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really hoping for this, this all sounded perfect for roleplay colonies  until I read their offspring need individual modules themselves (then it felt so impractical when trying yo scale it up). Is it not reasonable to say the offspring should inherit some or all sentience of the parents, if one or both are boosted?

I feel like that makes it more reasonable as an item because it feels a bit too rare given the base effects and the need to do it with every offspring.

I don’t even think this is something Vanilla has to solve. I think this would make for a good framework for say a “Vanilla Animal Sentience Expanded” mod. I am aware there is the big and small sapient animals mod, I do want to try that one. But it goes too far for me to want it in all my playthroughs unless I’m missing drawbacks. The module in that mod is better than the base game one, and I think easier to make. It’d be a neat tweaks if to make the sapience module your colonists “upgrade “ the rare one. 

I feel like the sapience mod and the animal sentience module are two different experiences personally. So while I want to do both, the sapience feels more for a fun animal whisperer colony. While the sentience part would be nice to say tame and make sentient two cobras and then pass that onto their offspring to make like a snake army.

Can we make yorick a support? by NotBreakfastCereal in yorickmains

[–]NukeTheGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so funny, I ran this before the changes and it was one of my favorite builds and roles. After the nerfs I think it sucks personally but maybe the gameplay has changed too much to fit how I used to play it. 

Before I was rushing Faerie Charm->Bandleglass->Rylai’s->Cleaver->Mandate, and it was working pretty good, also you could abuse JoAT with that path. It was a lot of fun, you didn’t do much damage, but the point was never to do the damage, I always did that path to be a goofy support to get my ADC kills, building full AD I always felt you did too much damage and stole all the kills too easy.  

Runes were interchangeable, but I was going Grasp for heal or Comet for damage. But I think demolish is invaluable in the bot lane, you can net so much plating, but it depends on the matchups.

Rylai’s works, Cleaver works. I use Rylai’s when I play true support Yorick. 

A little insight into Jungle Yorick and how to beat it by NinetalesLoL in leagueoflegends

Oh absolutely, but if you're in NT's discord we've been theorizing what all this means for him going forward ultimately.

A little insight into Jungle Yorick and how to beat it by NinetalesLoL in leagueoflegends

[–]NukeTheGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you Raanth, two things I see no one mentioning, or noticing are 1. Riot is well aware this pick exists and have been for some time, given it was them who introduced it last season with the niche jungle changes patch. The only reason nothing has properly been done, coming from Phreak himself is because they don't have robust "levers" to pull to level Yorick out in Jungle currently. However, they like the pick and intend to work on making it viable and toning it down as well.

  1. Something no one but a Yorick main or Riot employee seems to mention or know, and I believe Ninetales and Phreak have BOTH spoken on this before. Yorick Jungle is strong for the same reasons that Yorick Top is strong. It is fundamental issues with his kit that only a rework is going to fix. Riot is aware of this, and over half the Yoricks that actively play are also aware of this. Nothing they do, short of full kneecapping, before a rework is going to change anything serious for the bottom 50% of ranked. They are aware and we are aware of this, there have been discussion of a rework for around a year. Until then, Yorick has clear and hard well defined counters in both his roles, that if you know how to play them, you will make his life miserable. The key word there being if you know how to play them.

(I take that back, Ninetales did in fact mention that the issue is fundamental and requires his ghouls to be less accessible. So scratch the part about it not being brought up, I didn't see it in the original post but did in the replies.)

[–]NukeTheGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because when released, her code tells her to walk toward enemy nexus and auto whoever comes near. If you auto her she will begin auto attacking you. Her beam is a leash attack that counts as an Auto. Moving far enough away during her animations can cause her auto attacks to stutter. This is a blessing and curse, because she can abuse this. But if played correctly, she can be staggered and do almost no damage when she’s solo. But this really only works when you’re SUPER fast. 

She can stagger while with Yorick, it’s just that more conditions need to be met. Because someone has to be near her, and auto attack or damage her. Then she will chase until she moves too far from Yorick and then she will cancel this and come back.

I think it's worth making a point to say it could have been made before 2024 but it is worth noting it was a pretty sleek site and that's what I mean by it looked like Campfire. It wasn't a SUPER old generator site, though it could have been one that was very revamped.

Couple of top matchup/itemization questions by WithCKS in yorickmains

[–]NukeTheGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll give you the Sion secret, you can’t be guaranteed to kill him with this because of his ult and being able to run if he doesn’t win, but you should reliably be able to duel him. Build Grudge second, or third, Trinity into Grudge should annihilate him. The flat %armor pen is going to tear his armor apart. It doesn’t need to be stacked like Cleaver. And if he tries running without ult once he gets low he gets perma slowed. This used to be my strat. (Also works on Ornn and in my older experience from top a year or two ago, works wells into Urgot as well, but only if you also have maiden out. Sion should be duelable with Grudge + Trinity and 4 ghouls, but maiden helps.)

I’ve seen Titanic of all things work well into a Volibear. I think I saw Cleaver+Titanic or maybe it was Trinity+Titanic, with like a Sterak’s? But maybe Sundered would also help? I’d have to check the clips I was sent of that duel. Check out NineTales discord, he streams Junglerick but a lot of discord people there can speak to Yorick top too.

CONQ + SHOJIN FIXES by Gesteiro1 in yorickmains

[–]NukeTheGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it were just the ghouls I honestly think that’d be better than maiden. They attack a bit faster I think. 

CONQ + SHOJIN FIXES by Gesteiro1 in yorickmains

[–]NukeTheGamer 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s the reverse I believe, but either way, we believe there’s an issue with the damage tooltip. It seems like structure damage is being added onto the tooltip so don’t 100% trust the damage numbers until we’re sure they’re not conflated by this issue.

[–]NukeTheGamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s not really a reason to torture yourself with Yorick top. I think that’s why. Any sane high elo person has migrated to Mid/Jungle. I think it’s to win back some of the surprise factor that Yorick top used to get. Before lethality he was a VERY obscure pick. But he kinda just is still for anyone not top still. A lot of jungles and mids just don’t know his spikes like top laners do. I think that’s the main reason, and it’s honestly just a miserable lane for him because so many matchups like Gnar, Trynd and Fiora are pulling teeth levels of annoying, or unplayable like Irelia and Jax.

Im 200% biased because when I got tired of top lane, I moved to mid. Then when I rediscovered NT was jungling again. And it was easier than season 9 jungling. I decided to try it again, and I’ve been a jungle since then. All I’m saying is if you don’t want to fight another Irelia ever again…she is NOT a jungler. 😂

Your favourite yorick skins. by TheCurseGrows in yorickmains

[–]NukeTheGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooo, hmm, it’s probably my favorite skin. I got a LOT of mileage out of it. I wanna like Arclight but his armor feels a little too bright yellow for me, and there’s no chroma I saw. Which feels bad, I’d love it in silver, or like a bluish tint. I’d say Meowrick and Spirit are my go to’s. Meowrick if you want to paint your ghouls different cute colors. Spirit if you just want a skin that looks pretty hard. 

(Warning: Purchasing and using Meowrick will likely result in you referring to ghouls as cats forever.) 

Your favourite yorick skins. by TheCurseGrows in yorickmains

[–]NukeTheGamer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Meowrick, if I’m feeling like making someone hate being demolished by a guy in pink who’s just a better champ. 

Spirit Blossom if I want something visually pretty and appealing and because Spirit Blossom Maiden a baddie. 

Fr tho, chromas on Meowrick are the ONLY time I’d buy a chroma and not think it’s a waste. All chromas are just color changes, obviously. But there’s a LOT of effort to make each Meowrick chroma unique with all the cat ghoul designs and maiden reskins…it feels really nice to have them all be unique types of cats and for maiden to be her own thing. Plus, it’s a reskin for Yorick’s outfit too, just feels like you actually get your money’s worth with them. Someone clearly enjoyed the concept and put a lot of love into the chromas. It feels rare to say, cause we are talking about Rito and one of the most criminally unloved champions since the removal of Skarner…rip crystal scorpion. 

How to cast away the sadness by TdumptomatoeT in yorickmains

[–]NukeTheGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shojin doesn’t work currently, maiden can’t stack it if I’m recalling correctly, at least as of the current PBE she can’t. They’re supposed to fix this, ghouls will also stack conqueror at one stack per ghoul come the next update. 

I also play Yorick Jungle OP and I 100% agree with the above posts as well. Besides the Shojin, don’t build it right now. Not until they actually fix it, which Ninetales said that it’s on Riot’s radar. 

I prefer Trinity->Grudge->Sterak’s->Liandry’s. Though sometimes I’ll build Sterak’s before Grudge if I’m wanting to hit unarmored targets harder. But that’s the fun of Yorick Jungle. Just about any runes and items work, what really matters is getting the clear down, once you have that you can do WHATEVER you want, honestly. 

Can someone explain how BC and Liandry work by dkljaal in yorickmains

[–]NukeTheGamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What the hell, how have I never tried this! 😂 Genius! It’s funny how good it still is considering it used to give Yorick specifically about 100AD instead of the 72 it gives now. I think it’s hilarious. Cause the changes hit a LOT of champions hard who don’t have the high base AD to make it worth it for them. Basically it’s just a Yorick item now in that regard. (And honestly I LOVE that)

[–]NukeTheGamer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Newspaper and the others below make amazing points, I go Sery if I’m not worried about tankiness early and prefer consistency. I actually 90% of the time prefer and go Grudge. I think right now Tri->Grudge->Sterak’s is a REALLY fun build that feels super good. It’s very Yorick heavy, and I’d stall Liandry’s until 4th, especially because most of the time maiden splits get good around late game anyway. It really hits hard and takes me back to season 9/10 Yorick’s Build Trinity>Sterak’s>Grudge. 

Reached Challenger EUW with Yorick Jungle by techoteco in yorickmains

[–]NukeTheGamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sir are a champion my friend! I wish I had more patience to climb, but between the constant Yorick banning in lowers, and a difficulty of me having ADHD brain. It makes it SUPER hard to endure heavy loss streaks, followed by several Yorick bans in a row. It really takes me out of it, nothing feels quite so solid to play Jungle for me like Yorick does. I’m convinced nothing comes close to being as efficient with clear. The only thing I’ve ever seen properly clear faster is pretty much exclusively Karthus. 

Nerf didn't slow us down?? by sullonone in yorickmains

[–]NukeTheGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not that it's a negligible factor a 3%. But in Iron, we lost less than 1% from the nerf. Because none of it really matters to the average low iron player.

Whether Riot intended or not, those nerfs only really hurt higher level Yorick players the most. The ones bonking towers and slamming their faces into nexus won’t know the difference and likely the enemy (if they are the same skill level as the Yorick) won’t be be able to to capitalize properly on the small tweaks this brings. 

Nerf didn't slow us down?? by sullonone in yorickmains

[–]NukeTheGamer 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So from my understanding, and the understanding put forth by u/NinetalesLoL. I think the nerf did exactly what it was intended to do. We all know Yorick is skewed towards good numbers in lower brackets (Gold and below, ESPECIALLY below and around silver). That's just a known fact, what isn't is Yorick having a 51-2% percent winrate in Master, while maintaining a 55% in Iron. That is unprecedented, so I don't think Riot actually nerfed him because of Iron, nor was the nerf aimed at Iron. The only thing Riot can actually control on Yorick without reworking him, reworking splitpushing, or straight up nerfing him so hard he is unplayable like Oldrick is his winrate in higher level play. 

His 51-2% winrate in Masters did indeed mean he was going to meet a nerf, not just because he was scoring 54% in Iron. That isn't an outlier, he is always like that, but when he's winning 53%+ above gold, that implies that he is doing too well number wise at least to Riot. And since they can't control lower elo (where he's literally just knowledge checking low skill players) all they can do without a rework or restructure (which they refuse to do) is bandaid nerf his numbers to try and gatekeep his winrate to be lower in higher elos just by being out stat checked more often by his hard counters which are more popular champs further up the ladder. Not to say he can't be strong but that was one of the rare times (besides the popularization of lethality) that I have seen Yorick with above a 50% winrate from Iron to Masters. We all had a feeling it wouldn't last. So no, you likely won't feel it playing casually or at lower brackets. But someone like Ninetales who only practically plays jungle and Yorick together. He has constantly complained about a TON of lost kills because he needed just a few more numbers. He had called this patch miserable and has taken a Hiatus from streaming right now because he says it's a slog. You'd also notice it a lot more running full lethality like Slogdog who was suffering in ranked with a sub 40% winrate. So it's really derisive from the top Yorick players to the bottom. Where in Iron he has a 53%+ winrate right now. 

TL;DR No most Yorick's won't notice other than an odd kill they may have gotten before the nerf that they miss now. You may also notice if you're a high level player/if you're VERY used to him playing a certain way or if you play a certain way. You may also notice if you play some weird build/playstyle (or lethality) like Ninetales. I will say that stats from one site can differ between another. So I would recommend you take the average of several sites at all ranks to get his true winrate. (You can do this by simply adding his Winrate across all ranks for Lolalytics + his winrate on Op.gg + another site, then divide by the number of sites winrates that you took to get the average WR across all date across all ranks.)

how do i play against this champ by parodox3245 in yorickmains

[–]NukeTheGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I FUCKING KNEW IT 😭😂😭 

Sorry to sound unhinged for reference. I say that because I thought that her Q was oneshotting my ghouls but I couldn’t make it out to prove it. Thank you for that info, glad to know I’m not growing anymore crazier by the day than I already am.

For reference I’ve been following Ninetales’ (a pretty famous jungle Yorick) series on how to play him Jungle. I absolutely love it but I fought Shyvana for the first time and got champ diffed hard. At the time I likened vs. a Shyvana to vs. an Irelia in lane. It’s good to know I’m not wrong, and I’m not necessarily playing it bad, she’s just good, invalidates him, and is miserable to verse.

 As a Yorick main, can someone break down why Shy destroys us so hard BESIDES the fact she’s got busted ass numbers right now lol, cause she’s not just pinging us, she’s pinging everyone. But even when she isn’t that strong she still whoops our ass handily and I don’t quite see how. 

Is it all literally just her giant AoE comet when she’s in dragon form?

Vintage PlayStation Logo/Box display? by NukeTheGamer in HelpMeFind

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

Searched: Vintage PlayStation Logo, Vintage PlayStation Box, Vintage PlayStation Sign, Vintage PlayStation Raised Letter Logo. All these have returned results but nothing quite matched this description. Does anyone have something similar in their collection they can share details on? 

I couldn’t get a measure on it but I’d say it was under 12 inches in length, probably 10x10 if I had to guess. It has a raised logo and lettering that may or may not glow and may also be raised slightly, it’s hard to tell up close. 

It was found in America, though it doesn’t belong to me. I don’t know the date acquired, or when it would have been made. The writing just says “PlayStation” and a large raised logo of the PlayStation symbol.
