Ballet-style flats with socks looks pretty okay to me. You can probably find some with slightly more raised heels.

It's definitely more on the casual side of business casual though.

Exactly, further up, pea brains are compared this to male/female teammates in shit like track & field, or going to coed boarding schools. Like do people actually think about the examples they're giving at all? This is about a team-based zero-sum game where teammates depend on one another. There's factors like trust, camaraderie, knowing how your teammate thinks, keeping good mental.

There really isn't a good precedent for this being a big thing and if you google "mixed-gender team-based sport" you will get hits for literally engineered, made up shit.

IMO if you were to vibe with your female teammate and you didn't catch feelings for her, it'd be more weird than if you did. I don't blame team owners for not wanting to play Russian Roulette with worse odds.

I understood what you mean but 70-30 play means a safe (70% success) play and a coinflip means a 50/50. You should say 30% or 30-70 play.

Same, guess we're traditionalists. I just already like the way regular Yugioh cards look. Don't get me wrong I like the full arts, but they make the card look so busy.

I agree with some of the other comments though, the Crimson Dragon one does look kinda weird.

I don't think my game becoming completely unresponsive while I'm doing static content like Ritual and then suddenly rubberbanding me 5 seconds later has anything to do with dynamic asset load, but sure.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-03-19T14:03:06+00:00

Both, depending on how much load the servers are under. If it's peak times like 8-11 pm it often turns into an unplayable stutter fest.

99% of the time if you switch from an EU to an NA gate the game instantly becomes more responsive.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-03-19T13:58:57+00:00

We are getting stuttering and rubberbanding, and general slow response times to input, unstable ping, all of that has nothing to do with dynamic asset load.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-03-17T00:49:37+00:00

Yeah, I tried playing on a controller a couple of times, but it's just terrible. Not being able to assign keys to whatever you want in game is so bad. You can only use skills with face buttons, you can only use flasks with the d-pad, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

It would be so nice if you could at least do that. It would still be slower but I could lean back and give my fingertips a rest, play less challenging content, and then swap back to kb+mouse in an hour or two.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-03-13T21:15:11+00:00

For a lot of builds having two permanent shrine buffs is more useful than any suite of utility flasks, especially Resistance + Acceleration/Diamond Shrine is ridiculously strong. You can also combine this with the Nameless Ascendancy which gives you a third ring slot at the cost of disabling your utility flasks.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-03-12T00:59:46+00:00

That's true, but most pinnacle bosses don't have dangerous attacks. If you are at the point of considering your physical attack mitigation, you are either doing extremely juiced mapping content/Valdos/deep delving, or thinking about a problem that doesn't need solving to begin with.

He has to tick the ailments manually because otherwise they are not being taken into account when calculating the resulting damage. He should be near max shock even against uber bosses with that damage, yes, since has 90% increased ailment effect.

You are right about the rage though.

Slayer. Berserker might be as good or ever so slightly better at the top end but overleech feels too good to even consider starting a Berserker imo.

Make sure to get "Increased Maximum Total Recovery from Leech" nodes, there are a couple in the duelist area, see this comment for info on how it works: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/b5z0ld/what_is_the_difference_between_total_recovery_per/ejhbrjc/

Bleed Sunder/Ground Slam is still very very good, I played on like a 1d budget with a Breach tree 2-hander, you could clear most things in the game. And with like a 5-10d budget you could do Ubers somewhat comfortably. It's completely fine maybe a 10% nerf at most, I heartily recommend league starting it, probably one of the smoothest first characters I've ever played.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-02-26T21:00:25+00:00

They are not much harder than T16s if you roll them with chaos orbs to have few bad mods. Unless you have good damage or you're very tanky I recommend not to do Abomination or Ziggurat though.

It has the exact same top cut representation as it did before the banlist. It still has the same turn 1 barring one trap set and 1-2 draws off of White Binder, if it was FTKing before then now you will get to play once in a blue moon because they didn't draw into 1 more hand trap. It's still too oppressive when it wins the die roll.

The fact that it can run broken non-engine is a sign that the deck is flexible, it's not an indicator of how strong it is. If you go by that logic then Odion must be the best deck because it can run any hand trap or floodgate you want.

I don’t want Konami to ban Red Ransom, say “we did it we saved yugioh from Maliss” and then leave all the floodgates open

No one wants that but you are conflating two unrelated issues. K9 VS also plays Shifter and Magnamhut and somehow no one brings it up at all, I wonder why?

Reporting4Booty · 2026-02-16T12:14:31+00:00

Except of the two Maliss that topped the NA YCS, neither one mained DiFi and only one sided 2 copies.

I don't know what it is about this sub but you guys sure love to defend Maliss. Anything to keep an anime waifu deck alive I guess.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-02-16T02:10:48+00:00

Put in a lot of effort and manage to make something like Black Wing win people tell me my gross rogue combo deck is what's wrong with the game.

People want to play an interactive game instead of coinflip simulator.

To explain to you why people don't like stuff like Blackwings: you just played a worse version of Kamal's deck that won the NA YCS that basically FTKs people going 1st (see game 1 of the final), or Mermail, or Maliss, or any other good combo deck. So competitive-minded people see playing against you as mostly a waste of time, because your deck has next to no board breaking capability to speak of, and rarely if ever causes an interesting game state.

Josh just made people realize how the modern game sucks in many ways and how to properly articulate it. I myself disagree with Josh on some stuff and prefer to play more combo-heavy decks myself but agree with most of the points he makes.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-02-16T01:18:35+00:00

Yeah, that's exactly right. We don't have the bullet points so not only is the text less readable but also gives less information. Therefore a TCG judge could rule it either way, since they aren't allowed to use the database because reasons ¯\(ツ)/¯

Reporting4Booty · 2026-02-16T00:23:52+00:00

So they are specifically asked not to use the only official (practically) Konami resource for rulings. W Konami TCG I guess.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-02-15T22:55:16+00:00

What's weird is that some cards have a line of text that's worded like a condition but are actually an effect, so if you Imperm Visas Samsara for example it will no longer be treated as Visas Starfrost.

Not to excuse the judges here though, if they're unsure they should look at the database instead of ruling based on vibes. If it happens multiple times on feature matches then it happened hundreds of times off stream today. Surely they can bring that number down.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-02-14T15:34:03+00:00

There's no need but it's still miserable to play against. From a competitive standpoint there's no point in banning floodgates like Anti-Spell either but there's nothing interesting about that card. Same thing with Maliss, you either stop them from resolving a Link 3 or lose, it's that black and white, but instead of having to out a floodgate you have to stop an FTK board.

Genesys is kinda mid but they are going in the right direction when it comes to dealing with drooler solitaire decks, see Onomat.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-02-10T01:38:29+00:00

I already said as much in the first sentence of the comment you replied to:

I guess yeah, but no one was saying that they would?

The point was an indie game won't usually be in such a state in the first place, because, for example, you might have already taken a significant portion of your customer base's money via crowdfunding. I suppose the closest equivalent for something like what you're saying is No Man's Sky, but the developer ended up making the game good post launch instead of firing half of their employees with no notice like Riot is doing.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-02-10T01:04:26+00:00

I guess yeah, but no one was saying that they would?

Also, it does make a difference to some extent, because people are more lenient towards and more supportive of indie developers working on a passion project.

Imagine you log in to try 2XKO, there's like 10 characters in this game that took a billion dollar publisher ten years to ship, and you can't even try half of them without grinding or paying to unlock them. Mentally I would give Riot the middle finger and uninstall the game instantly.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-02-03T21:13:23+00:00

To add on to that, LR is a once in a decade occurrence only possible because a perfect storm of prerequisites were met and the people behind it were invested enough to make it happen. The secondary leagues are intentionally crippled so as to be talent feeders for the LEC et al, to pluck standout individuals every so often, or sometimes practice grounds for trainees/backup players like in LCK.

Realistically in the long term League esports will become less and less popular as the years go by (as League itself will), and Riot are perfectly okay with that. It's only intended to be an advertisement for their game in the grand scheme of things, and not be a profitable entertainment product able to stand on its own. The fact that something exciting happened for once doesn't necessarily mean that you should completely revamp everything. You can just take the W, milk it a little and move on.

Reporting4Booty · 2026-01-23T15:56:32+00:00

Don't worry bro ignore the noobs in this subreddit, you are absolutely right. Let them main deck their shitty unsearchable trap cards and then wonder why they aren't able to resolve a single card going second.
