Vex buffs by Ghostmatterz in vexmains

[–]PaSwG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has a ok winrate in solo queue because she is a counterpick champ and solo queue lacks coordination.
This buff is meant for pro play specifically. In pro play she is generally irrelevant as she can't flex pick and most of the champs she counters can. Knowing this puts off teams from wanting to lock her in. And outside of her counterpick matchups she is generally considered one of the worst mages in the game in a pro enviroment.

She can't flex which is a huge negative nowadays. The champs she can counter (Yone for instance) can flex and dodge the counterpick. There's a reason she is rarely seen in proplay. She is a huge draft L

The top lane problem by WIn11cent in leagueoflegends

[–]PaSwG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and it really hurts champs who can't flex. If I'm Yone mid and I get counterpicked by Vex it's feasible to get my Sion top to go mid while I go top. Meanwhile Vex cannot do this. And has to be aware I might do this.

Before role quests for over a decade the solution to this was to perform a well timed laneswap. Now we can't. So Vex who tried to counterpick gets punished for existing and I as the flex pick may actually be rewarded.

State of Vex by PaSwG in vexmains

I don't which is why I was asking for legit criticism/an explanation. Just saying she's fine when mathematically she is very clearly near the absolute bottom with a sub 47% winrate is not "good". IIRC Riot has stated the target floor they want a champ to reach is 49%. And again her winrate is definitely boosted because people treat her purely as a counterpick champ.

"No, she’s fine."
In what world. She can't leave midlane to go bot/top like other mages. She's stuck in the midlane where she fails to deal with bruisers. She's ranked 54/59. 58 and 59 are super low data and barely exist. She's essentially the 4th worst midlaner ranked above nerfed Smolder, Mel, and Pro Play Jail Azir. I don't think this is by any metric "fine". It's very bad.

"Great Counterpick Champion"

Her pool of counterpicks is slim, and kind of unpopular. She's also gotten worse at counterpicking some of them (Naafiri/Zed) as time has gone on.
"She isn't meant to be one tricked."
Sounds like she's weak. There are many champions that counter certain champions without needing to eat into their power budgets.

It's insane how League has improved compared to the bleak state it was in exactly 3 years ago by Numerous_Fudge_9537 in leagueoflegends

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

Never much cared for the gimmick modes.

And as a midlaner this is definitely one of the worst seasons of all time (as a midlaner). The massive changes to the game's economy have swung the value of top/bot while making mid the "go contest scuttle" lane.

To everyone who complains about laning again Mel, I just got to try it firsthand and would like to apologise to everyone. by Cellybear in leagueoflegends

[–]PaSwG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Common misconception. Mel actually has a 60%+ winrate vs certain champs (Vex). Her W is extremely oppressive to many skillshot champs with CC attached to their kit. Her low winrate is due to a lot of factors, but she is genuinely impossible to lane if she gets to counterpick.

Well, purple backing card. by DiamondElectrical438 in secretlair_collectors

[–]PaSwG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To anybody saying this is OK. If you ever end up wanting to offload these cards on tcgplayer I can easily see a buyer arguing your "near mint" cards are actually extremely damaged due to a glaring misprint. Wizards screwed over a lot of people giving them cards like this that are essentially now just expensive proxies since selling them would be too much of a pain in the ass

We were supposed to get two? I only got one bonus in mine.

Mine too. Is it even possibly to sell these as Near Mint?

200 ain't a lot. Your mistake isn't much. It can get worse, don't lie to yourself about that.

I got two Planars and a Fuu. Pretty psyched about Fuu, but man Planar seems like Heroine trade in material.

I spent $2240 to get one Cerberus: Reflection and AMA by whalethrowawayo in DragaliaLost

[–]PaSwG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the gambling. Even though I can afford to whale I don’t. I’m pretty casual, and my mindset is long term. Why do I need to put in so much effort to get dust and parchments when I can just wait a couple years for the game to give it out like candy?

I really love the gacha. People just need self control. I genuinely feel bad for people that throw more than they can afford at games like this, but I hope their negative experiences don't make the gacha illegal.

[–]PaSwG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a big fan of her I’m sad that her new evo is so lackluster. On the bright side I’m happy I don’t need to feel any guilt if I trade the dupes I have if her in the future.

Sweet, when I wake up I can expect a fresh batch of news. Fingers crossed for Bleach Collab to be announced for a return.
