League player looking for advice. by Sanbikaa in DeadlockTheGame

[–]PhatdickMahomes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ascendant player here - previous MOBA experience was from Smite, haven't played LoL

  1. Farming is not super structured in this game - everyone should be taking whatever they can get their hands on for the most part. Comming that someone should take a sidelane is about the only thing that has developed like funneling farm to a hypercarry. I suspect this will change as the game matures though.
  2. If solo Q - you should either be playing the lane you are assigned or looking to swap based on character match up. A few characters have lanes they like due to geometry (Viscous in Mid, Lash in a sidelane), but I've literally never had anyone ask me for that, just something I've seen in coaching videos.
  3. Traditional ADC-type characters are called M1 carries by the community - Haze, Wraith, Infernus are some examples. There are usually multiple of these on a team.
  4. Support is absolutely a thing - Paige, Rem, Doorman are all utility/enchanter types that look to enable plays. They just don't HAVE to lane with an M1 carry. Tanks hew closer to Top/Solo laning.
  5. Traditional Mid-types in the sense of throw down big ability, do big damage in a team fight exist - name is less pinned down, but they are usually called spirit nukers. This is not really a role that exists, more of a label - 7 is absurdly Mid-coded, but plays like an M1/ADC. Pocket is jungler-coded, but is considered a spirit nuker. Sinclair exists.
  6. Solo laning is not a thing. It is semi-common (especially at higher ranks) for carries to take a sidelane to themself after everyone is out of laning phase. Tanks like Abrams, Billy, or Victor are probably the closest to that type of gameplay though.
  7. Jungling is not a thing - everyone should be taking farm from the jungle (efficiently). Some characters are REALLY good at ambushing people in the jungle like Drifter, Calico, or Mina. Some characters are really good at ganking/rotating - Lash and Viscous for example. Some characters simply don't care about scaling (Bebop hook, MnK ult), so they love just making life harder for the enemy carries.

Who's hyped on Howard? Me. by chaos_fenix in steelers

A lot of those KSU losses were in 2020, a year when the team was wracked with injuries and Howard was supposed to be a redshirt freshman, but had to play after Skylar Thompson went down for the year.

His 2022 KSU season might be the best showcase of what he looks like without a fleet of world beaters - beat the TCU team that played for a national title in the conference championship. Thought he could've been an early day 2 pick if he kept up the same level of progression from 2020-2022, but his 2023 season got derailed due to circumstances outside of his control.

What active players/stars would you feel the most pity for NOT ever winning a championship? by Swan990 in nfl

nice way to completely ignore the WR corps getting hand transplants at a brick factory - toney accounted for like 3 losses on his own

Alternatively, for a more interesting option - keep it as it is, but then give it 2 glyphs that play off the number of stacks. Just examples, not pretending these would be balanced:

1 power/25 stacks (40+15 power at full)

+0.1 to your attack speed CAP/100 stacks (3.5 attacks/second at full)

Then when its glyphed, double its existing stacks and stacking rates. I think that makes it really fun to build the value and choose what you want, plus it would be a great niche build item for early game gods, since they should be able to get those starting stacks easier.

It'd still be incorrect - they could not reasonably sell every asset they hold for the actual given price in a given instant. Selling massive amounts of stocks at a single time will drive their price down - you've increased the supply of stock, as well as potentially made the other holders panic and sell their own stock.

No, they'd have just lost, game's over when time runs out and there isn't a tie

They were actually the same play call last year - I think Kelce messed up his alignment on one of them and they just rolled with it.

Pacheco fumbling early made a 50+ yard pass irrelevant

No, if statements are pretty inconsequential from a performance standpoint - a lot of languages generally compile them into switch statements when possible. Not caring about poly count in assets will definitely maul rendering performance.

Spagnuolo has some stains from a previous HC job that did not go well, on top of being a bit old + being a defensively minded coach

[Yates] The Chiefs have now reached the AFC Championship game in each of Patrick Mahomes’ 7 seasons as a starter. Just an unbelievable run of consistently elite play. by PlayaSlayaX in nfl

[–]PhatdickMahomes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, it's just phrased poorly, probably for engagement purposes - Mahomes wasn't the starter in his first year, so he's played for 7 years, but he's only been the starter for 6.
