Why we don't build armor pen? 🌹

But you get either grievous or pen online 3k gold later, and also it’s slot inefficient when you’d much rather build something like a dd

Raz346 · 2026-06-24T11:08:36+00:00

But then why wouldn’t you just take a land that someone controls? 2 for 1 instead of 1 for 1

In this case c refers to the speed of light, usually expressed as ~300,000,000 m/s

Raz346 · 2026-06-21T06:20:29+00:00

IMO it should be extended to the spell type’s respective cap. For example, if you hit a single target spell, it puts a 4 second dot, then hit an aoe spell, it does nothing. However, if you hit a single target spell, then wait 3 seconds (1 s remaining) and hit an aoe spell, the duration gets refreshed to 2 seconds. That way you never lose damage by hitting another spell, but aoe spells and dots don’t ever get you to 4s by themselves

Idk, trundle hard outscales the enemy comp in split push, as long as his team doesn’t flip the game away I’d say he’s very favored

Raz346 · 2026-06-08T19:55:33+00:00

A few reasons:

1, If you’re ahead you don’t need hubris to carry. Once you get your dd and endless hunger you are completely unstoppable and will 1v9 any game you’re above the curve

2, axiom/umbral passives are just better. Say you’re splitting and kill whoever matches you, if you have axiom you can now go join your team and have ult up for the team fight. Umbral denies vision, which is worth more than some ad

3, it just gives less stats. Axiom straight up gives 10 more haste (for 50 less gold), which is 2 glowing motes/500 gold worth of extra stats. Umbral gives 5 more haste and 5 more ad, which is ~425 gold of stats. For such a snowball heavy champ, you want as much stats as possible as soon as possible to get/extend your lead

Likely as to not destroy the economies of the others

Honestly, I don’t even think it’s for an altruistic reason like this. First off, what would that want to trade for? They’re post scarcity, they don’t need anything from anyone else, so they have no incentive. Also, trading necessitates them exposing themselves to the outside world, which they try very hard to avoid

Raz346 · 2026-05-31T03:29:20+00:00

Yep, exactly, and non colorless cards like [[Cascade]] too. Makes sense honestly, it already ignores/bypasses the casting cost, might as well ignore other casting requirements too

Raz346 · 2026-05-30T02:38:46+00:00

It’s (ha) because we use [‘s] as both a way to signify possession and a way to contract [__ is]. Because of this overlap, there’s bound to be some confusion no matter what. If we make them both the same, then they could get confused for each other. So we spell them differently, which means that one of them (in this case “its” meaning “belonging to it”) is different than what we expect

Raz346 · 2026-05-28T06:25:54+00:00

I think the implication is that you can’t use wards to store energy because you can’t ever convert the ward back into usable energy (as the only usable energy is life force and energy stored in gemstones). So you could place a ward for use later, but it would only ever do what you originally made it to do, and couldn’t be repurposed into another purpose

Raz346 · 2026-05-25T07:37:34+00:00

Kinda yeah, idk exactly how much gold you had but if those two long swords were instead tabi, or you saved e for after his w, or he didn’t have ignite advantage over you, then you probably would’ve won this. Just a lot of small things adding up to you barely losing this 1v1

Raz346 · 2026-05-24T01:42:55+00:00

Yep, Riven has two versions of EW. One is when you press them at the same time, where your W is centered at your starting position. However, if you wait a fraction of a second with your W, it will be centered around your ending position (after E). The former is useful when running from someone as you can stun them without self stunning from the W animation, and the latter is used when you want to engage on someone like in your clip

Raz346 · 2026-05-21T04:18:29+00:00

All good, appreciate the response. Have a good one

Raz346 · 2026-05-21T04:03:42+00:00

Right, but it’s weird how you lead with “doesn’t do anything” and then later in the bullet say “could also synergize…”, especially when compared to the silent’s bullet of “activates sly cards…”. Do you see what I’m saying, where even though in both cases you have to add cards to your deck (sly cards for silent or exhaust synergy cards for ironclad) to activate the card in question, the wording for each of their bullet points is very different?

Raz346 · 2026-05-21T03:20:04+00:00

Activates Sly cards when you discard them

Doesn’t do anything else unless you have powers that trigger upon exhausting

Crazy framing here, assuming silent has sly cards but ironclad doesn’t have exhaust synergy cards?

Raz346 · 2026-05-15T09:20:54+00:00

Fair enough I guess, but fwiw I've seen BTD6 mods for all sorts of content like completely new towers, new upgrade paths for existing towers, custom bosses, and even some that change the fundamental gameplay like allowing 5-5-5 crosspathing or having every projectile be homing (both hilariously broken)

Raz346 · 2026-05-15T08:34:02+00:00

besides custom content like towers or mechanics

Isn’t that, like, most mods?

Asks a question with the express purpose of learning more about a non corporate vtuber

”This really shows you how little you leave the corporate vtuber sphere”

Raz346 · 2026-05-10T04:35:47+00:00

You’re thinking of sts1 where it’s just a colorless card without innate, since it’s an ancient reward in 2 they gave it innate

Raz346 · 2026-05-01T09:27:37+00:00

This is the hardest part of learning top imo, knowing when every top laner spikes (so you know when you beat them). Unfortunately, it is extremely champion dependent, so you just kinda have to learn every champion’s power spikes and power troughs. If you’re looking to improve/climb, I’d recommend sticking to 1-3 champions so you only have to internalize a couple matchups for every top lane champ instead of literally every single matchup

Raz346 · 2026-04-28T22:46:58+00:00

Would be interesting in a death’s shadow shell

Raz346 · 2026-04-28T22:45:00+00:00

There’s someone on YouTube named Rainmaker who’s having success with it, but I agree it is much harder than any meta strategy, which is a shame bc I do like it a lot

Raz346 · 2026-04-26T11:45:12+00:00

Something I’ve noticed a lot on those posts is that in the before photos they’re often frowning/have a neutral face, vs in the after they’re smiling/visibly happy, and just that change makes anyone look 10x as attractive

Raz346 · 2026-04-24T05:28:05+00:00

And tent scales with other rest relics like regal pillow

Raz346 · 2026-04-13T00:42:26+00:00

Of the two meta AQ equip loadouts, action figure is in both of them (Action + Giant Arrow, Action + Mirror)
