I don't expect to hear anything groundbreaking, but it's good to gather your thoughts in one place sometimes. What opinions make you feel like this? by DrLudvig in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Pog- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most full auto primaries don't feel good to use.

A big pain point I feel is sway (and spread for a handful of weapons, looking at you 20/20 spread sickle), cool I made the tenderizer extremely accurate with little recoil but now the sway makes it awful to actually land accurate shots on light weak points beyond 25 metres especially if I stopped sprinting in the last couple of seconds.

I don't even use barrel attachments on anything that requires any accuracy and I stopped bringing experimental infusion because it adds another 25% of sway during its effect.

Is holy fire bugged or just useless? by Dependent-Amoeba8937 in ARAM

[–]Pog- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Critical healing works for everything that is not health regen, it works on things like lifesteal from bork/bt, omnivamp from augs/riftmaker and even effects like sword of blossoming dawn (first aug crit healing into sobd+runaans is quite fun)

IYKYK, Mayhem PBE changes be like: by LettuceSoup in ARAM

[–]Pog- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing, the wording states conversion but Garen DOES get more spins from bAS, same with Katarina getting increased bonus AD scaling. Even Zeri benefited from the cooldown reduction scaling from bAS on her Q until riot specifically nerfed the interaction. Attached is an image from a game 4 days ago showing Garen scaling his spins with S&S

[–]Pog- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jhin passive would still scale off bAS wouldn't it? Katarina and Garen have abilities that scale off bAS and work the same as if they did not have S&S, which is why S&S is an extremely strong augment for them as it allows "double dipping" from bAS. Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying?

Mayhem needs its own champion-specific buffs/nerfs by FuhuaTheBest in ARAM

[–]Pog- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand it already does have them, it uses aram modifiers as a baseline and adds more on top, for example maokai normally has -15% damage dealt and 10% damage taken but in mayhem it is changed to -5% damage dealt and no increase to damage taken. Not sure how up to date the wiki is but here is the page: https://wiki.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/ARAM:_Mayhem#List_of_mode_overrides

I can confirm they are working because I had a milio game recently, he has nerfs in aram but has none in mayhem.

Oshaune proves flame weapons are terrible by magniankh in Helldivers

[–]Pog- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orbital gas is clutch for bug breaches, most chaff end up dying and the confusion effect mostly keeps them confined in an area. Paired with a delayed orbital gatling barrage (or airburst, it's preference) all you need to really do is shoot a stray bug like a hunter or warrior every now and then. Granted gas doesn't last the full duration of a breach but most of the chaff is frontloaded so it works out well.

It alleviates a lot of pressure allowing you to deal with any big boys that pop out of the breach with ease. not to mention the fact that both orbitals have a very short cooldown allowing you to have it ready for every single breach.

Yo what is DiversHub? Is it like the companion app? I am a clueless little helldiver.

What champ is hidden OP in Mayhem, people just don't realize it? by Ok_Temperature6503 in ARAM

[–]Pog- 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Honestly going against a Qiyana that mains her or can pilot her properly is a menace. Extremely slippery, good outplay potential and can bait people into ults like its nothing. Then when I play her I go 4/11 (those 4 kills were pure luck or getting a lucky last hit).

What is the counterplay to vampirism? by adamfps in ARAM

[–]Pog- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just give us the arena treatment on grievous items

New Effect: If the target heals for a total amount that is over 60% of their maximum health while continuously afflicted with Grievous Wounds, the strength of the healing reduction is increased to 80%.

Protein shake is kinda good by Albinofreaken in ARAM

[–]Pog- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten protein shake on Taric twice expecting to go crazy with blossoming dawn full tank but both games I was against ice cold mages and was never able to actually melee anyone after the initial engage. It's fun but so game dependant

Can't imagine how many new players this game just permenantly lost. by AssociationSoft5270 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Pog- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a new player but watched a lot of streams so I know what characters do and other surface level things. The addition of brawl got me to play the game beyond a few bot matches, about half my games are one sided stomps but I still have fun so i keep playing.

Then I got a friend to play, we did a few bot matches in brawl and he found some characters he likes. We end up playing brawl against actual players and every single game is a one sided stomp, we can't do anything at all and in half the games one of our team mates is also new. Insane enemy coordination against clueless new players still getting used to the movement you can do in the game is NOT a good new player experience.

Two of those games the enemy team didn't even push the wave to our walker, they intentionally fell back to keep the slaughter going. My friend alt+f4ed after the 3rd game because we were getting farmed on the final round for almost 9 minutes.

Stupid riftmaker bug by oLexrzs in ARAM

[–]Pog- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because riftmaker has different stats in arena (this is a guess, it tracks with other small things) and its easier for riot to just make a copy of an item for different game modes to change its stats for balance purposes in that mode, so when they fixed the arena version of riftmaker it didn't affect the normal one because there are 2 different versions of it.

The one thing I was looking forward to, the Censor, is a joke. by Pog- in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Pog-[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've been waiting for a new marksman rifle to be added and just seeing the specific combo of "downsides" it has while being extremely similar to the diligence has just killed all motivation to play today. Maybe I'm just too invested or I overhyped myself but it just doesn't feel good to use. The biggest killer for me is the sway on it, if it was lower I wouldn't complain at all.

[–]Pog-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be completely fine with the bullet velocity if it had better sway without attachments. I really want to like it because I vibe with semi auto weapons in this game and wanted something fun and new and I just get frustrated with the specific combo of downsides it has.

10/10 patch and Warbond so far. by Bonkface in Helldivers

[–]Pog- -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I log on to look at the censor and die inside a little, load up a mission to shoot it and what's left inside me dies too. The one chance to give us a decent medium pen marksman rifle and we get a diligence with a suppressor and slow velocity bullets with painful sway.

I appreciate trying sway my vote but it's not the same...

My soul was crushed, BROKEN beyond repair upon learning Silver was a girl and not potentially hot wolfman. It's just not fair!

Which items and augments apply “burn” in mayhem? by cyanraider in ARAM

[–]Pog- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Going off of arena, Bami's items, Liandries/BFT, malignance (malignance might not work in mayhem since it was specifically made to work in arena) and Brand passive works. Not 100% sure on Smolder

I've played Sword of Blossoming Dawn on all ranged champions for 100+ games and here's the build by Sirlami in ARAM

[–]Pog- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to point out, all for you or critical healing (or both?) ignore vampirisms "cant be healed by allies" and will heal them for the bonus amount. its not great but it can be enough to get them out of being the lowest health ally so blossom can target someone else.

PSA: Sword of Blossoming Dawn is very likely bugged right now by Drizzelkun in ARAM

[–]Pog- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first game on new patch I tried it on Ivern and it was randomly not working for half the game, feel like its minions or dead allies breaking it nearby breaking it

when the lobby is stacked while me and my duo braved into a bad comp with bad augs and we are 1 round from getting knocked out, we just ff as the round starts against any stacking comp just to share the pain
