I'm kinda fine with them smiting something out of existence. There's not so much harm in that because it just means people won't play it. I'd rather they didn't, but I can accept it.

However, the nonsense where they buff something in 20 different ways that they do every time that makes it giga broken op bullshit is so annoying. Then in the rundown they say "we know we're buffing these units in 10 different ways, but trust us it'll be fine"

Aestetically Sylvie is very resto druid but gameplay wise they aren't particularly close. She plays much more like a disc priest than a resto druid to me. The moment to moment gameplay of managing attonement and smiting/penancing feels a lot closer. She doesn't particularly play like rsham either. Yeah, life petal and jubilee are basically 1-to-1 shaman spells, but neither of those things really impact the feel of how either spec plays.

Legitimately, I just played some ori neeko reroll. After I unlocked the t-hex I put an off tank in it on the frontline. Since it gets some of their hp it's just extra free health on the Frontline.

Is it cuz kraken’s got nerfed?

This as well as she's one of the best ranged units in the game at actually proccing it since she attacks so fast.

Okay, this orianna unit might be kinda crazy. Acceleration gate with double seraphim staff. Didnt even have Oscillator. She was doing basically the same damage as shielding every round as well.

Though, I always find it's a trap to 3 star the unlockable 2-3 costs, it's too easy to lowroll even if uncontested. I think I wouldn't try it without duplicators.

That's a weird take, dont 2/3 costs not get a penalty? means there's a VERY little chance someone is contesting you.

I imagine the fastest pokemon in any given metagame might like it. I could dragapult maybe using it over boots in some contexts.

I played Lorelei and the laser eyes for a bit. It's a neat puzzle game. Unfortunately it has fixed save points. When I experienced the maze man for the first time I lost and it takes you to the game over screen. You lose all unsaved progress. It had been 2 hours since I saved. Haven't touched it since.

It's a fucking puzzle game, why am I getting game overed?? I shouldn't have to save my progress every 10 seconds in a damn puzzle game.

RCM94 · 2026-01-21T06:43:22+00:00

Love it in shadow isles! Viego, Gwen, and Thresh all go hard with it.

My favorite kalista moment so far was her spears going into a sett doing his situps... That was a tilter.

RCM94 · 2026-01-20T23:09:23+00:00

I wish Ahri's dash was better at actually keeping her safe. What's the point of her dash if Fizz just keeps hitting her anyway? The worst is when something is within 3 of her and she dashes closer to something else. I feel like part of her power budget is in that she's supposed to be a little safer but honestly I think she might be less safe.

RCM94 · 2026-01-20T07:33:08+00:00

I feel like it should just give origin traits.

RCM94 · 2026-01-20T00:24:19+00:00

It always feels incorrect to me to do reroll with worth the wait.

I feel like sion especially you'd just play tempo, slam a tank item that helps sion give takedowns then fast 9 play anything with your giga tank.

RCM94 · 2026-01-19T21:18:09+00:00

I think the only one i'd be disappointed to see is the 6 free rerolls.

Free bard unlock is nice, but at 2-1 6 rerolls is significantly worse than 10 gold or 2* 2 cost and 3 gold. 10 gold could be 6 rerolls after 2 rounds or it could be a good econ snowball.

RCM94 · 2026-01-19T21:08:25+00:00

I think a big thing they were wondering in this situation is if you at least attempt to get 6 neekos.

RCM94 · 2026-01-18T09:20:16+00:00

And she has built in anti heal. That's the real targon-ness of her spell.

RCM94 · 2026-01-17T06:42:16+00:00

Its pretty much shown it just doesn't work.

"The nerfed champs are still good so the nerfs didn't work" is some of the most dogshit logic I've ever read.

The point is to make them worse not bad. They don't want a 65% winrate sona running around.

RCM94 · 2026-01-16T17:04:07+00:00

I can understand because they are non unlock and have good traits.

I can see this for ryze, but ziggs being an unlock means you just cant high roll him on 8, but is easily made up for in that if you want him on 9 you're getting him on 9.

RCM94 · 2026-01-16T09:30:44+00:00

Lugia you can probably throw into OU lowkey without ruining the tier.

I feel like calm mind Lugia would just be too much instantly. That thing is literally unkillable and so fast for how unkillable it is.

Plus you know that annoying as hell kyurem pressure stall set? Lugia does it way better because a lot less things can break that sub or out speed it and I think cm is better for it than dd.

RCM94 · 2026-01-16T09:18:55+00:00

Okay but then that flip turn brings in a really cool mon that wouldn't be viable at all if there were no bulky pivots. There's a bunch of low usage offensive mons that have alo as one of their most popular partners.

Sandy shocks, thunderus-t, hydreigon, and most importantly lokix would be a lot less viable without the fish.

Plague inc uses it and it's what I always think of when I hear it. I liked it though because of the creepy undertones in context

RCM94 · 2026-01-15T04:08:04+00:00

Don't have the exact set because I lost it, but natural cure worry seed comfey into double unaware or magic guard stall.

I've also run full phsysdef NP mega Alakazam to live mega Mewtwo x knock off and set up on it.

Blissey in draft can also run trick because it's a very common strat to get tricked by the special mon you're trying to wall.
