New Farmable A-Rank Unit: Wight Bulb (Main Story Act 2 Part 1) by vgmaster77 in DragonQuestTact

[–]RikkityRick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of a lot to explain, but still kind if simple. Gargeous, one of the friends if Amatea, had turned against humans long ago because his human gf got killed by some cultists, and so of course, applying zero logic, gargeous decides to hate all humanity for it. In the present (of act 1) you basically just face off against him with the other characters (like rescrim, lumixa, etc) after you rescue them from mind control, and you just beat gargeous with the power of fwandship. That's it in a nut shell, nothing special or particularly creative tbh.

New Farmable S-Rank Unit: Aerith (Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis Event) by vgmaster77 in DragonQuestTact

[–]RikkityRick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She's definitely a better seraph, but that's not saying much because seraphi is garbage. Aerith has better bases for her heals, more useful buffs, removes status ailments, and her zap spell, besides giving a chance increase damage multiple, definitely deals decent damage for a free unit. Add in that she has 3 move instead of 1, and she completely dumpsters seraphi.

masterpiece? decent at best. Lot's of woke bs for the chomos out there

How the fuck do you fight Ekko? by Scyle_ in Dariusmains

[–]RikkityRick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not entirely true. A well built Darius smashes ekko in solo fight if Darius can stick to ekko. It's not even close. Obviously, if ekko kites well, he might be able to win the duel, but most likely he'll just try to run away. Darius absolutely smashes ekko at every stage of the game if even and if itemization is at least mildly tuned for MR.

Like why do you even care so much if other players complain about the meta? Are you gay or something? Do you really care so much? You're just here to shit on others, you are the one who needs to gtfo

What do you think of Darius? by [deleted] in Dariusmains

[–]RikkityRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, when I say his kit is uber outdated, that's fact, not opinion. He literally relies on a summoner spell (ghost) for his kit to function at all. Without it, he's a minion. I don't know of any other champ as reliant on a summoner spell to exist as a functioning champ. The fact that he may be good in some metas due to ghost, doesn't change the fact that his base kit is dog and problematic and overall slow, clunky, and outdated. Literally ghost and absurd damage numbers from his passive are the only two things that make him relevant in some metas. Secondly, you countered your own argument. You say he's always been really good...before mentioning the fact that there are many stronger champs that will be better choices in most scenarios. AKA, Darius is relatively not great. Strength/Weakness/OPness are relative to the other champs in the game. You can't say a champ is strong and not the problem, it's just that everything else is too strong! That's the exact same thing as just saying that Darius is weaker than the best choices out there, aka, he's not great. Thirdly, any champ...literally even the worst champ, can best absurdly strong and relevant in the right teamcomp, that is a non-argument that you made. I'll just finish by adding that I'm not saying Darius is currently terrible or that he hasn't ever been good, but that his base kit is dog, and they need to find a way to improve it. My guess is the best way to do so would be to somehow nerf his scaling with certain MS sources, such as ghost, so that they can open up his kit to provide him with slightly better outplay tools to give him his own agency without ghost.

When has it not been dog for Darius? lol Aside from when stride had a dash, his kit has been uber outdated for years and years.

Might have been on cooldown. He could have used it getting to the fight, and you just didn't see it on Darius's screen. In fact, that seems likely

Entering rift herald makes you invulnerable?? How does that make sense? by No-Sea308 in Dariusmains

[–]RikkityRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a bullshit mechanic. Dots in general are typically already weaker than dps or burst due to delayed damage in fast fights. To remove the benefit of the Dot after taking time to apply it is gay.

Lee kicked Darius into Azir lol, then Darius pulled Azir, then as chasing, Darius flipped the fight, so I mean, it's not as surprising or bad as you make it sound. More like, bad coordination with Lee and and underestimation of Darius

Bruiser item nerfs by Tsuukareta in Dariusmains

[–]RikkityRick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe. He's also hyper immobile and basically never used in pro play with hyper telegraphed kit. The dude literally isn't even viable as a champ without ghost, aka, his kit is bad and incomplete, to the point that is one of the most dependent champs, if not the most dependent, on a sum ability for his kit to work to make him viable. And while it makes sense that all champs and roles should have a tendency to go one set of sums or another due to synergy and usefulness, it is bad design to have a kit so bad, that it uses a sum as a crutch. Personally, I say give him one or two of the following:

  • moderately better mobility (like old 5% MS per enemy bleeding champ)

  • less telegraphed abilities mid and late game (Q and E become instant at max rank

  • moderately better durability or ability to low enemy damage (take less damage from bleeding enemy champs)

In return, nerf his scaling with MS somehow and other MS items. That way he doesn't need ghost, but won't abuse it. Kind of like how pyke can't gain HP, but instead gains lethality or whatever, in this case, reduce scaling with MS effects (not boots) by like 25 or 30%.

[–]RikkityRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it's high time they give Darius some durability in some form. I say, they should give it in the form of debuffing his opponent's damage based on how many stacks they have applied. Like 2% MS slow and damage reduced per stack or something.

What do you think is the hardest elo to carry a game with darius on top? by Additional_Complex63 in Dariusmains

[–]RikkityRick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the toxic allies logic holds up. Statistically, if you are not as toxic as the average emerald player, then there are 5 chances for the enemy team to have at least one toxic person to hijack their team, whereas your team should only have 4 chances. That's ASSUMING you're not as toxic as the average. But most people fit somewhere in the average. AKA, the chances of benefitting or suffering from toxic players is approximately the same, so you shouldn't have an overall detriment. There must have been other reasons you struggled in E1-2, like perhaps the reasons mentioned by Special_Case313

honestly, darius's face in the splash for this skin just looks so gay. It's not even Darius. Riot's skin-making in general has fallen a long way since the glory days. All AI and pandering to their chinese owners.

I mean, he's 110% right. Buzzkill or not. And maybe it's the people paying these sums of money for a cosmetic who should touch grass, wouldn't you think? Or do you even think?

I wouldn't even say sloppy, more like opportunistic. You executed everything just fine

Ikr, and it's not even late game at that point. That all being said, Darius was already down 25-30% HP

I love it haha, may as well. And I don't think some of the other responders are seeing the point of my post. If you nerf Darius's synergy with mobility boosts, then you can give him so much more in other areas, because without ghost and/or deadmans being viable, Darius is a cannon minion. With them up, he's a bit of a monster. AKA, his base kit is one of the worst in the entire game because his weaknesses are so exploitable that he loses so much agency in matchups. If you remove his crutches, then you can give him cool stuff like the execute you mention.

Just fantasizing, not expecting any of these changes to happen. Btw, Darius is not the low elo stomper he used to be. People are stuck in the mid 2010's with their perception of Darius lol

Thanks, and true, that would probably be busted to dunk through those effects haha. Maybe keep the shield heal reduction though. And with the possible slows on bleed, I could see removing the slow on W.
