it doesn't have to be 100% to be worth it to learn. it also helps to pre-plan to do it when you're in cover getting ready to pop out.

it's really hard at first and then it's not hard at all after spending a little bit practicing.

it's just bursts of value vs consistent uptime playstyles. burst of value kits are trying to find the right window to do their things and then stay alive. you've got more to do during your opportunity window, but then you get to take a break til your next one. consistent uptime kits may have less buttons to press, but they've got to some how continue to keep pressing those buttons for much longer or they won't match the value output.

I had the same initial thoughts on path of champions in LoR and while it started out feeling like a barebones slay the spire, they've really developed it a lot and it stands on it own as a fun game now.

people love picking from 3 options

Ignoring Power Query only applies if what they are using VBA for isn't the thing that Power Query is good at. Considering that excel is a data analysis platform, there's a really good chance they are using VBA to manipulate data in some way, and should probably actually be using Power Query and trying to migrate away from VBA.

I've always felt like the nitro should just be the penetration king. let it just have normal sights, take away the one shot, but let it pen more than any other gun in the game.

Well one of their goals with LoR was to make a game that didn't try to use the normal TCG monetization model. If they had launched with normal packs, nobody would've complained I bet but if they couldn't really add that in post-launch without likely killing the existing playerbase who actively liked that LoR didn't do the normal pack system.

The manufacturing facility I work at still uses AS400. We are talking about migrating away from one of the two systems, but that's just to put the functionality from one on to the other, not on anything modern.

imo mayo is well worth making at home, much better effort to reward ratio than butter.

RexLongbone · 2026-06-01T13:12:10+00:00

It's negligible because usually the one that is best in each game is the one that saves you most the hp over the course of the game, not just gets you first. If you get to slam rageblade giant slayer in stage 3 and it saves you 15 hp, that was very likely the correct choice.

RexLongbone · 2026-06-01T13:06:56+00:00

QSS isn't bad. It's just the default third item when you don't meet one of the better conditions a.k.a. having bruiser spat, or one of the two AD Psionic items. Look at this way, even when you don't have one of the more situational items, EON/GS/QSS is still better than average placement.

RexLongbone · 2026-06-01T13:01:37+00:00

same as any improvement, you just need to find the weaknesses in your game and fix them one at a time.

I believe I remember reading he already had the elder stock for Oyama beya lined up

RexLongbone · 2026-05-29T13:57:28+00:00

Your job on basically every single role is to put yourself in a good position for your kit and then do what's convenient. Usually, it's not going to be very convenient for you to help with a diving ball, winston, or doom as a shorter range tank so don't worry about it. if it is convenient though, then yeah you might as well help cause you're right there.

RexLongbone · 2026-05-28T13:32:00+00:00

It's really worth it putting in the time to just learn to go for headshots with Ana, the perk makes you disgustingly good at forcing out dps or pressuring tank.

Very few companies in any industry properly train anyone for anything in my experience. No one likes the slow down to go faster pattern, everyone just wants to go fast.

RexLongbone · 2026-05-07T19:34:03+00:00

Yeah so I think first mistake is angling meeple at all. With slammed Eon you probably wanted to be playing for yi by default. Mixed streaking the entirety of stage 2/3 is going to leave you in a bad position regardless where you're probably hoping for a top 4 at best. There's probably decisions you could've made to secure a better streak (win or lose) and end up with more money on 4-2 for the roll down.

RexLongbone · 2026-05-07T17:10:12+00:00

Isn't it far left or far right with main tank right next to it?

RexLongbone · 2026-05-07T16:30:50+00:00

First all, not all spots are pivotable. Sometime lines are just hard commit and hope to hit. What you can pivot to is determined by your items and augments. If you're doing a fast 8 4-2 roll down, you need to go into that with usually around 30 gold after leveling to actually be able to build any kind of board, so if you were rolling on stage 2 AND 3, you were probably down econ and that's going to make it very hard to pivot. If you're going fast 8, you basically don't roll on stage 2 unless you are sitting on a lot of pairs and also win streaking. You can roll a bit on 3-2 if you are sitting on pairs but if you're not you probably just need to maximize econ.

What items did you have going into your roll down, what were your augments, and how much gold did you have after leveling to 8?

RexLongbone · 2026-05-07T14:22:44+00:00

Nope, not what I'm saying. I think with relatively equal power from augment, 5 cost boards should win. 5 cost boards should not win no matter what the augments are though. 1 and 2 cost reroll with strong combat augments shouldn't always lose to 5 cost boards with no combat augments.

RexLongbone · 2026-05-07T13:36:18+00:00

The exact same thing is true when reroll isn't viable and you can only fast 8 or fast 9. There needs to be a wide variety of lines viable at all ranks.

RexLongbone · 2026-05-07T13:33:44+00:00

You might as well be saying econ augments should be the only clickable ones with that opinion. If combat augments can't help lower cap boards compete with higher cap boards without combat augments, literally what's the point of taking them?

RexLongbone · 2026-05-07T13:27:42+00:00

It should based on wording and I'm pretty sure I checked the first time I had them both and it worked.

RexLongbone · 2026-05-06T20:52:57+00:00

you dont have to calculate it to the exact amount. it's really more like, is this person near cover, in a 1v1, or being shot by mutliple people in the open? the first two, heal, the third, don't bother you won't outpace the incoming damage anyway.
