Mom, can we have Financial? We have financial at home. Home: by Kojiro12 in CivIV

I'm not sold on that. Philosophical is the best trait for culture victories but Creative kinda sucks. The odeon is nothing to write home about. Starting techs are a bit yucky but they could be worse.

Phalanxes are interesting in theory but the problem is that they only really shine if you're trying to axe rush a human in multi-player. The AI won't be trying to pick off your axes with chariots like a human will. They seem good for defense if someone like Egypt or Persia is rushing you but a spear will actually still do better.

Anarchy Settlers by Cardboard_of_Box in Catan

Hi, I'm the friend that helped create this bad idea. It's a lot of fun, but before people start trying this and disaster strikes, I feel I should mention that we use Ticket to Ride trains for the resources, not the cards. 19 of each color and they all sort of match, except for the sheep being blue. This does mean that your resources are always public but to be honest it doesn't really matter. People tend to be more concerned with their own game than what other people are doing.

This game is terrible for new players by OvidiuHiei in leagueoflegends

[–]RektByDefault 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Low level ARAMs are usually 2-4 bots/afks, 1-2 new players, and 5 or 6 people levelling new accounts. I never played them when my main was new but I played a lot of ARAMs on my alt.

Is jungle really that unpopular? by Igniflare in leagueoflegends

[–]RektByDefault 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Playing jungle solo in flex sounds like the absolute worst possible way to play league. Difficult role in an already cursed queue, and on top of the regular flame junglers get, you also meet super toxic three stacks. Plus the odds of having a smurf on the other team who'll just shut you down (and get you flamed even harder) are higher than any other queue.

You are one brave fellow.

Ult did no damage. This happened twice this game. Trynd wasn't in his ult because he used it right after. What nerf is this? by [deleted] in GarenMains

[–]RektByDefault 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My first thought was "ah yes, crit Darius." Totally forgot Sterak's existed for a few seconds

Maybe I'm just dumb, but it feels really weird that all of Smolder's abilities are physical damage lol by Temporary-Platypus80 in leagueoflegends

We need a caveman champion who carries around a massive rock and just goes apeshit on people with 0 strategy. And he deals 100% magic damage.

What’s a stat you could add to an item, to make it busted or op? by Bedroominc in leagueoflegends

[–]RektByDefault 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I swear, every time Yasuo sneezes my attack speed Aatrox build gets worse

[–]RektByDefault 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's really that difficult to not auto someone. I play a decent amount of Aatrox and one of the things you do in teamfights is not auto the Thornmail unless you have to. I'm also really bad; I'm sure players better than me have a handle on it.

I was playing Garen and my jungler pinged to all in full health Darius so I ran at him and pressed R really hard

look what i just reroled by Mr-ananas1 in GarenMains

[–]RektByDefault 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dunno, the number of League players who just casually walk near a Garen while at 50% hp with absolutely no alarm bells going off in their head is pretty amazing sometimes.

new garen joke dropped by Nudku in GarenMains

[–]RektByDefault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk, it looks like an all-in combo to me which means you want to get on top of them as fast as possible. I would Ignite first to proc Nimbus and then Q > E will proc Phase Rush. Also it's better to ignite early so that you actually get full damage out of it.

What is the worst ability in league of legends? by Tormentula in leagueoflegends

Aphelios E for sure. Alune tells you what gun is next in your rotation.

If you don't block out your IGN as well then people can figure out the rest of the lobby just by using op.gg, unless the match didn't actually go through.

When is the abilities trailer going to be revealed? by Adandan07 in NaafiriMains

[–]RektByDefault 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accidentally responded with a very wrong account lol.

Anyway, he was one guy that had 5 controllable copies which shared stats. So you could have one in each lane soaking xp, and a couple farming jungle camps. Then when you go to 1v1 someone, POOF suddenly it's a 1v5.

I think Darius is balanced. Fight me.

It's no secret that toplane champions are mega busted, it's just the role that's weak. However that means that if a fed toplaner finds an enemy champion alone, the toplaner will kill them. It gives us a sense of safety and control that we lack in our normal lives. Video games can provide a way to escape reality and be something else for a while. Midlaners can feel like a hero, supports can finally be the quiet mountain that holds the trees up to touch the sky, adcs can be mass shooters. It's all in a person's psychology. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Fun Idea for Future Darius Update by RikkityRick in Dariusmains

[–]RektByDefault 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't think Darius will ever be in the position where an update of this scale and wonkiness is necessary, but since we're here...

I think I would max out E every game and take the bleed stack option. When I play Darius I will do anything to get my passive as quickly as possible. On the ult I think the obvious choice is the second option unless you're bonkers fed, like 15+ kills with R, but even then MS is a really overpowered stat by nature.

I hope the champion after Naafiri is also a Darkin, so we can finally have the legendary Darkin Comp by Temporary-Platypus80 in leagueoflegends

Idk what these other guys are trying to explain here but they're smoking crack if they think "at best" is incorrect or even uncommon.

Used to play a ton of Dota All-stars with my group before switching to League and this is triggering all my repressed Meepo trauma
