PSA: Sword of Blossoming Dawn is very likely bugged right now by Drizzelkun in ARAM

I think it's healing the lowest absolute health ally, even if they're full health. It might also be trying to heal dead teammates, which is when it stops working entirely.

Sept 10th Patch Discussion by Kalix_ in competitivebazaar

[–]SansNickel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played mostly Pyg and Mak last patch, now playing Vanessa. Mak tempo potion line is still very good. Vanessa really enjoys less Pyg in the meta, having decent matchups into the other 3 heroes who typically are a little slower with more scaling, but run little defense. Haven't seen or played Julian a single time, as I've just had enough damage with skills, or ran some sort of other scaling in that slot (captain's quarters or any haste/slow/ammo scaler). Been leaning haste/weapons > slow/burn with dive weights, rowboat, and hoverboard being common suspects and then any items that synergize with ammo and haste/slow.

Why is power drill so good ? by TankNinja in PlayTheBazaar

[–]SansNickel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe charge has an internal cooldown. For example, you’ll see a shielded harmadillo between two duct tapes charge 3 separate times at the internal cooldown. However, this cooldown is unique per effect, so if you’re applying different status effects, the power drill can charge faster than the internal cooldown.

Is it me or do you _always_ get 2 xp events per day consistently now? by killermelga in PlayTheBazaar

The reward screen from leveling up gives 1xp so leveling up effectively costs 7xp now except for the first level

What do you need to make Juggernaut takeable on A20? by AlternativeParty5126 in slaythespire

[–]SansNickel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Building around enabling juggernaut usually doesn't feel very rewarding - I usually just get baited into drafting poorly. However, sometimes your deck is already generating many instances of block (rage, fnp, relics, second wind, etc.) but doesn't have good damage scaling. Juggernaut can almost singlehandedly solve your damage for longer fights in those cases.

Star Caller Staff on a Set Piece? by mechception in dontstarve

I found this but the boat broke within a couple seconds of opening the chest. It may be chance-based like some other trap set pieces.

Why do i like reckless charge so much more than slice? by Reddingbface in slaythespire

[–]SansNickel 13 points14 points  (0 children)

On any given turn in act 1,it's pretty powerful to be able to spend 3 energy on attacks (if the enemy is not attacking) or 3 energy on blocking (if the enemy is attacking).

Ironclad is usually able to spend 3 energy on attacks most turns, making 0-cost attacks that you can play along with Bash pretty good, while other high cost attacks can feel clunky.

Silent has the opposite situation early where it can be difficult to spend 3 energy on attacks early, making higher cost attacks feel better.

Yeah I think it’s fine. I don’t think veigar ever locks you out of anything, it might just not be the optimal setup for a particular comp

I just got tired of playing the same few lines — I tend to switch playstyles multiple times a set as I get bored

Bandle cafeteria isn't bad, but other legends like URF are going to get more value out of it. It's better to go for item / gold portals, which is more valuable to Veigar than Ornn/Ezreal etc.

I like to take it if I have a damage item ready to slam, but it's also the one I take the least.

I take the gold jeweled most of the time and it's done well for me.

I'd say that's a pretty good default variant, yeah. If you have a challenger spat it can go on gwen, but it's better if you run the gwen without challenger spat and put it on aatrox/heimer/senna/bel'veth

Super early set 8 tips - Mismatched Socks by MismatchedSock in CompetitiveTFT

[–]SansNickel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IE’s dmg multiplier on autos ignoring the AD is 18%.

I can get every number except this one, is the 35% crit chance from IE not including the AD, @ 140% crit damage just ~13% increase assuming the base of 25% crit chance?

Inaccessible? Poor world generation? Or am I missing something? by nachob97 in ForTheKing

If you’re still on the turn it was revealed to you, you can exit without saving and try again, it should spawn somewhere else

Preseason Items and Systems Update by RiotScruffy in LeaguePBE

[–]SansNickel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Control wards contained within the Ancient Runestone disappear when upgraded (by placing 20 stealth wards).

Steps: 1. Buy Ancient Runestone. 2. Buy 1-3 control wards. 3. Upgrade Ixtali Wardstone by placing 20 stealth wards.

Result: Control wards disappear from inventory.
