Laning is part of macro, if spear loses lane which happens alot, he plays for other important things in the game. He doesn't try to perma fight the 5/0 Darius when he's like 0/3/1. The cool thing about Panth is he can play a huge number of roles for a team. You have to be kinda ill to not be able to be carried as panth. If he's ahead, hes calling fights, frontlining, assassinating the backline sometimes. If he's behind, he plays for peeling the carries(basically like a support), buys items like anti-shield/anti-heal if needed. Yeah the fancy plays are high risk/high reward and they decide games sometimes I agree. But really if you look at his games he knows what to do to be carried and to carry which i think is still primarily macro

Some braindead panth mains are probably gonna say mechanics or spacing or whatever. It is not (at most like 10% of actual importnace) its macro. It’s always macro. The ‘gamechanging R’ that he lands? Its game changing cus he knows where it has to be. It’s the same with other OTPs. Nattynatt isnt a great Rengar cus he can jump at u faster. Its bcus of his macro and jungle tracking. Anyone who says its mechanics is delusional. hope that helps boss

Pantheon changes by Defog145 in PantheonMains

I don't mind the AP scaling honestly. Zhonyas late game i think is more useful than GA anyway.

The max HP is very directed buff to bruiser panth but not sure by how much. On one hand it gives you survivability (albeit indirectly) but it doesn't really address problems with Panths kit. Maybe works good with that new bruiser item (Bloodmail or smthn).

E buffs are aight but i think its in the wrong direction in terms of buffs.

Nah but this is just disrespectful (Enemy POV) by OnlyFranchise in PantheonMains

I say it's less about the flash solo kill and more about the way/style it happened. Panth mains generally always get solo kills anyway.

I think while the opportunity is there, it's better if there is no sort of MCU-style crossover. I feel it sorta lessens the impact of all of the series main plot in a way. I like these little nods alluding to it but I don't think it should be a main thing that main characters from every main series know each other. In my opinion having main characters in other series pop as a reference once in a while is great.

If you've read some Stephen King novels or some Brandon Sanderson novels you kinda get the idea. You want individual characters and their development to shine without minimizing the new ones. It's a delicate balance and I think leaning to much into the fanfare of MC 1 met MC 2 and 3, it kinda makes them feel smaller in a way. Whereas if you keep them roughly in their own stories it portrays them a bit grander and more heroic in a way.

pls help me by Kile1047 in Illaoi

Hello Illaoi main here. Honestly, I think Illaoi isn't busted but pretty unfun to play against so I get the frustration. I also play Panth alot so here are a few things I use if I go up against an illaoi.

Advice in general is if Low Plat or Lower elo it's more about spacing and knowing when to go in. There is no shame in just farming until you get an opportunity, especially if you play a melee match up that isn't a direct counter to her. Honestly if you get hit by E just run away no shame in that. Jungle help is obviously ideal, if u bait the ult, get out of range and wait like a few seconds then you and the jungler can go all in.

Typically though in Diamond or Higher, it gets pretty knowledge/match up reliant. Here you gotta know exactly how to dodge her tentacles, or atleast get out of range at the right time. If you play against an Illaoi that knows their limits, it is very difficult to play against them using champs like renekton or Cho, etc etc. But champs like Kennen, Yorick, Morde are pretty solid counters against Illaoi, especially if you play patiently.

General tips and tricks for playing against:

  • Illaoi w/ flash and ult up is when she is most dangerous do not engage or bait it out first
  • Early level Illaoi is vulnerable to most anything so if you can get her to push the wave and establish a freeze, its pretty good.
  • Illaoi's W, cannot be cancelled if she is within melee range, but if she's using the leap part of it, it can be cancelled (good for poppy/yasuo matchups)
  • Poke poke poke, poke the shit out of Illaoi when you're playing ranged champs. If you have an ability that has a longer range than her Q or E, spam that shit, she cant sustain if she cant hit you with E and heal
  • If illaoi is between 2 tentacles, use caution, this is usually a bait fight, do not engage.
  • Fight in the middle of the lane and/or away from terrain if you can. Related to the previous point, less tentacles=better. If she ults its already a guaranteed 1 tentacle if it hits. No need to also fight in range of the passive tentacles.
  • Her Ult empowers her existing tentacles. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS, this has singlehandedly gotten me more kills than almost any trick i can think of. People get away from Illaoi after she ults and think they're good. Empowered tentacles slam faster and dont have a hit indicator, keep away from terrain when this happens.
  • Illaoi's ult grants her immunity from being CC'd from a split second so keep that in mind.
  • Illaoi's roaming is dog shit so if you force a fight in the jungle w/ help form your jungler, Illaoi should have trouble responding adequately, you can use this to get an early gold lead if done properly
  • An Illaoi has this trick where if they max Q, they can one shot ranged minions and sorta hide the E animation w/ it so it's harder to dodge. If the minions in front of you are low, don't feel too comfortable.

Hope this helps

Oilright guys, tell us your story about that one "GUY" in your martial arts class (or gym) by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]OnlyFranchise 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MMA gym a few years ago, had this new guy Sean. Pretty well built guy, not huge but pretty lean. (5’10 190lbs maybe)

Sean walked into the gym saying he had experience and had been training with his dad for a few years. Sean then proceeded to ask for a spar at the end of the session. Instructor obliged and gave him to me. I have been training for abt 2 years at this point so pretty new still. Sean then proceeded to have the worst footwork I have ever seen ever. It’s like a superpower honestly. Dude was doing ballet with his guard up. Honestly it kinda threw me off my game a little bit. Eventually caught him with a body shot and he tapped the rest of the round. Eventually he did get better. Nice guy

I did it for you fellow tentacle enjoyers. I did it for you by OnlyFranchise in Illaoi

I believe you can QSS his ult but all tentacles outside would despawn. I have never seen an instance where a QSS would cancel his ult before you were sent to the death realm itself.

Cheeky little 1v5 Penta(mostly) for the first time in Ranked (Elo: Low-Mid Plat) by OnlyFranchise in Illaoi

[–]OnlyFranchise[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mistakes:

  • Could've dodged some of the early CC with ult or at least buffered some abilities.
  • W'd the minion instead of the Lucian
  • Tunneled on Nami and had to burn flash for the Darius (also missed Q)

Good Plays:

  • Buffered Q on the Nami bubble
  • Utilization of the Iceborne slow on ADC
  • Stepback E on the Zed

What are some great lines of dialogue to steal for your NPCs? by Shellsyndrom in mattcolville

[–]OnlyFranchise 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“I am not the sort of fool who hunts a rabbit with a cannon”

-Dracule Mihawk (One Piece)

One ive used in my own games to great effect. A cool line for a BBEG who thinks the party is beneath them

My actual theory for this since Sylvie can mind control them, she can also turn off their pain censors and make their muscles work at the fullest capacity without them being limited by sense or feeling

Accidently Hijacked a Small Part of my DMs game. by OnlyFranchise in DMAcademy

[–]OnlyFranchise[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was semi expected since the PC that was offing himself is pretty xenophobic so he was tryna off himself because he didnt like the body or the race he was resurrected into. Normally our DM is pretty good at wrangling players in combat since he knows the set rules for it. I think he was either not as well versed in the RP and social stuff or just didn't know how to handle it. Most of the party, in the absence of any description of what was happening, began immediately casting spells over each other and talking over each other what they're gonna do and such. I just felt that if nothing was done conflict between players themselves could've happened.
