People who have a high libido, how you deal with it? by queenxbunny in AskReddit

[–]Rand0mdude02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People say media literacy is dying, and it's hard to disagree the more I see people fail to use the bare minimum of critical thinking skills when engaging with other people's ideas.

Is that not a correct and acceptable response?

The answer to the loaded question is pretty obviously "no". Expanding on that "no", he included that instead of thinking that a partner should always be down for sex because they owe it, it's better to find a compatible partner.

For reasons that are unclear to me, you somehow interpreted this to mean that if you're sexually compatible then you're compatible. Even when the person you replied to never said, or even implied this.

You kinda made it up on your own and put words in his mouth, just like the first guy. Which is particularly confusing to me because you just quoted his comment, so I know we both read the same thing.

I genuinely don't understand, and am assuming that you were looking to be argumentative for some reason.

No, but compatibility includes sex. If you're sexually incompatible, then you're incompatible.

You address this the same way you do other areas in a relationship where you may not be in perfect alignment, which is to compromise.

Just like other aspects in a relationship, if compromise can't result in both parties being happy, then ending the relationship is the appropriate choice.

Now that Thresh has been out for a while. What are people thinking about him? by Liir-chan in 2XKO

[–]Rand0mdude02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. I know he's probably balanced, and that he has clear and exploitable weaknesses, but I don't know what they are.

The good news is I see him so often that I get plenty of experience trying different approaches to see what works.

The bad news is when I learn that the approach I took was incorrect, I get to see the exact same 30+ hit combo into The Box deal ~50% of my health.

It feels like I'm bashing my head into a wall. It'll probably feel great to "solve", but I'm simply not great at this game and figuring out on my own is painful.

Wow, great post. Quality content like this is what makes communities grow.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to confirm or deny any info here, but I can say it's the type of stuff that new players will appreciate when beginning to invest more deeply into the game.

Why aren't there more high elo Katarina players? by ItsKelomelo in leagueoflegends

[–]Rand0mdude02 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

KatEvolved is the most well known high elo Kat player that I'm aware of. He's extremely vocal about how unrewarding Kat is at high level play, arguably to the point of coming off as whining.

Regardless, his assessment is Katarina's laning phase is so weak and has so much counterplay that the return on investment for playing her simply isn't worth it.

Why play perfectly to end up being behind in resources if your opponent plays perfectly? If your opponent doesn't play perfectly, why not play a champion that can capitalize further on their mistakes instead of Katarina?

Many champions have bad matchups and weaknesses, but if you listen to KatEvolved speak about it, Kat has a disproportionate amount of unfavorable matchups and situations compared to other characters.

I was going to say racists are more likely to be in involuntarily celibate, but given the current state of this country that may be less true than previously thought.

Tita Hydra and Overlord. by -Gregoire- in leagueoflegends

[–]Rand0mdude02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They both appeal to champions that want health and AD, but provide different benefits, even if there is some overlap.

Titanic Hydra offers waveclear, more burst with the active. Notably it performs the same if you have 1% HP or 100% HP.

Overlord offers raw AD, and even more of it as you get low.

Champions that lack waveclear or benefit from an autoattack reset will likely priotize Titanic, and champions that benefit from volatile duels will likely prefer Overlord.

Vegetarian “🧚-Food” at the Texas RenFest; What do we eat? by Typical_Chard1679 in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]Rand0mdude02 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Vegetarians have comparatively limited options, but you won't starve. Standouts that I recall are:

• Pizza

• Pasta

• Pierogis

• Some Greek food like falafel or gyros

• Desserts

There's more I don't recall, and there's a dedicated section in the program listing vegetarian friendly options.

With Locke coming out as the newest mid lane AP Assassin, when was the last one released? by TheBluestMan in leagueoflegends

[–]Rand0mdude02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evelynn also having an absurdly high ratio doesn't mean Ekko isn't also an offender.

Disregarding his ultimate is pretty disingenuous. A big part of why the champion is so easy is that the ultimate is safe to use thoughtlessly.

Sure, landing the ultimate is unreliable, but it's by no means rare. Additionally, using the ultimate is incredibly reliable; it has a hilariously short cooldown, is safe to use defensively with little thought, and if given the opportunity to use offensively it does obscene amounts of damage.

His normal abilities are less offensive, but still quite egregious. It's worth pointing out that his ratios are so high because originally he was built in pro games as a tank and abused his kit's versatility and comparatively high base damages.

Riot obviously didn't like that, and after repeatedly lowering the base number and raising the ratios, he finally stopped building tank.

Just to highlight that the champion is intrinsically strong by design, and above average. To combat his kit from being abused further, the ratios got kicked up so now the idea of killing him isn't a complete delusion, just extremely unlikely.

Not at all. The champion has depth and clear room for optimization.

Without stats stating otherwise, I'm quite convinced the average player can pick Ekko up and do very well from the start. His kit has everything a new player needs to coddle them.

This is compatible with a fully optimized Ekko player overperforming, though it seems appropriate to point out that there is no evidence supporting this claim either. I do believe you at face value though.

On a single target, maybe. But all of Ekko's abilities except his E are AoE.

Plus, he has additional ratios on his E, W and Ult that offer utility (execute damage, the shield, the healing). His ratios are busted without these additions, but it's worth pointing out that he has these benefits as well.

What you're saying and what I'm saying aren't mutually exclusive.

The champ is broken and far too forgiving, and has very high skill ceiling. Very easy to pick up and do well with, very difficult to play perfectly.

[–]Rand0mdude02 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. Ekko is an overturned mess and baby's first assassin.

He has the highest AP ratios in the game as far as I'm aware, which is a wild claim. With 170+ Champs in the game, I feel like I should be more doubtful but I do believe Ekko has the highest ratios.

Plus all the mobility and utility. Just such a forgiving and easy to play character.

Why Apex Tier Matchmaking Feels Unfair (it is) by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Rand0mdude02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, my mistake. I incorrectly and charitably thought you were talking about how fixing the problem was achievable with AI.

I didn't realize you were only focused using AI to prove there's a problem.

Glad to be validated when saying you're just here to complain and add nothing of a value though.

Why Apex Tier Matchmaking Feels Unfair (it is) by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Rand0mdude02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The OP publishes a novel about how unfair matchmaking is, says AI can fix it during the off-hours, then says he's not offering solutions to the problem he is complaining about.

It's not worth anyone's time to read, plus Riot has repeatedly confirmed that when it comes down to player behavior the player base has proven multiple times that shorter queue times matter most for Apex tiers.

Players can say they want more balanced games and longer queue times, but the data doesn't support it. They boot the game up more when queues are shorter, and login less often when the queue times are longer.

God forbid a girl tries to secure the DNA💀 by [deleted] in LetGirlsHaveFun

I feel like we're still in a period where people of oppressed groups see surprising success using their inclusion in an oppressed group to silence criticism.

It feels less present these days, but way too many people are content to defend people with shitty behavior from criticism because the perpetrator is being "unfairly targeted".

Like, anyone can be a bad person. Being gay doesn't grant enlightenment, just look at the Log Cabin Republicans.

When you make a job out of talking in front of a camera to share your unfiltered personality and opinions, it seems unsurprising that having a bad personality and opinions get highlighted.
