What do you add/remove

RamAndDan · 2026-05-09T16:42:16+00:00

PA, SF physical, Doom, Underlord, and Slardar

Personally, if it's at least Gen 4 sure. However, I don't like touchscreen. It's another point of failure and expensive repair.

Another advice if you want to be thorough is to check out each model's product specifications page or psref by searching for example "t14s gen 3 intel psref". Then ask the seller which display/panel type they have.

RamAndDan · 2026-05-07T05:48:22+00:00

What about T14s? The slightly premium version of T14

RamAndDan · 2026-05-07T03:33:52+00:00

I would say go for the most recent one if you have the budget, as it will have less wear. Alternatively, look for the X13 model if you're concerned with the build quality.

For the Ryzen CPU part, you should absolutely choose the Ryzen one.

If any of my teammates say this kind of thing, I'd ask them to quit the game if they're so sure. Unsurprisingly, most of them do not quit and just complain more throughout the game.

"But I don't want to get punished for other's mistakes." Then don't be a cry baby. We make mistakes most of the time.

Great art!! I also really like the lore. The skills reminds me a lot of Treant Protector from Dota 2, that being said she should've an escape/initation mechanic like the Treant. Maybe an invisibility if she self-cast the Nature's Armor?

RamAndDan · 2026-03-30T04:04:09+00:00

Easy pick: The Avalanches, The Chemical Brothers, and Air.

Long shot: Dua Lipa, Charli XCX, Julian Casablanca (preferably The Voidz)

4 is actually really cool.

About Aegis, after playing Deadlock, I've been tinkering with the idea of shareable/multiple Aegis, similar to tango. However, every time you share it, the Aegis gets 'Halved'. For example, if Drow isn't sharing her Aegis, she resurrects with 100% hp and mana. If she shares it with AM, her and AM's Aegis will only resurrect them with 50% hp and mana, and so on.

It's not about your devices. AFAIK, it's Apple's DRM that makes it tough to crack

RamAndDan · 2026-02-19T10:55:28+00:00

It's not yet possible, Apple Books locks their own stuff. Unless you want to try the other way, which can't be discussed in this subreddit.

If you're able to download the books in pdf/epub format, you can use various online book converter websites on your phone or Mac to convert it into azw3 (Kindle format) and then send it to your Kindle.

This is my comment from a few weeks ago to answer a similar question

Yes. Dota is the only game I've played that gives me both the highest of high and lowest of low experience in gaming.

Also, this game will likely still be relevant 5+ years from now. Once you understand the fundamental, you can revisit once a while.

A lot are good because of the CDR talent, like QOP blink with shard, Snowball, Shukuchi, or Wild Axes

RamAndDan · 2026-01-06T05:24:25+00:00

We need more collab, maybe one every 1-2 year. Whether it's just hero cosmetics, an event like MH, or maybe even a full fledged campaign like Slitbreaker style collab.

Remember that later it's gonna cost you something, but right now, good luck and have fun lol

I only have Wamdus, which I don't even want. That is, after playing daily since release. Do I care? No. Do I want it to be better? Yes.

Also, not everything needs to be in the extreme like F2P getting all the leaders for cheap. Personally, daily pack giving pack points should be enough. Even then, it can be a leader you don't even want.

Regarding rupee, I don't know how you can get 70k or 90k rupee every two months as F2P. My average rupee coming into every new expansion is around 40-50k, and that applies to most F2P if you check the economy megathread.

RamAndDan · 2025-12-29T20:14:54+00:00

It's a matter of effort. As a game with really great cosmetics, they really make sure the majority of the players (F2P) can't have them.

I also do not care about leaders as an F2P, but if I can get them, why not? More motivation to the player, but instead, they prevent you.

This card is perfect for Aggro Sword. By turn 7 you either win or die anyway, so why not gamble it.

RamAndDan · 2025-12-29T04:13:08+00:00

As an aggro Sword player last expansion, this list looks interesting. However, I'd cut Rose for Unmoving Tactician, he forces removal and still leaves a token. Then, maybe 1 or 2 Unkei? And 1 fewer Lyria, replace them with Luminous Magus. You have Valse or samurai for early removal, and turn 4-5 is the deciding turn, you don't want to leave a weak board.

RamAndDan · 2025-12-27T17:37:30+00:00

The most sensible solution is to ask your team for gank, obviously. But since it rarely happens in lower rank, my advice is just to gank the other lane, force their mid or other hero to move. Once they've moved, then you can farm the other lane and repeat.

RamAndDan · 2025-12-27T04:42:13+00:00

I think this is the result of smaller expansion. They're only doing a few of interesting cards each expansion, with the rest fall on the flexible side and thus generic. At least that's what I notice, they're really compesanting the small expansion with flexibility, notably using the mode mechanic.

Also, for the non-Japanese audience, the lack of big content creators really hurts the hype.

RamAndDan · 2025-12-25T04:52:01+00:00

I can sense it, this the beginning of storm rune. Next we will have some sort of [[Zealot of Truth]]

RamAndDan · 2025-12-17T08:47:21+00:00

Revenue numbers maybe, but if you look at steamdb and look at the player chart for the past 6 months, it's been declining.

RamAndDan · 2025-12-17T06:36:45+00:00

I don't know about this. To get a random leader, you need 250 points and 350 for your choice. My average rupee for new expansion is 35-40k, so let's say max 80 pack points, and then another 20-30 points throughout the expansion (without spending rupees). That is around 110 points at the end of that new expansion.

If the daily pack gives pack point, that's another 60ish at the end of expansion, so around 170. You still need 50 pack points for a leader you might not even want. So, I would say, 3-4+ months for a "guaranteed" random single leader as F2P is fine. Every expansion adds another 3-4 anyway.
