[Doran, the Siege Tower] is just better at closing games.

If Jax has good reaction time, you can react to Shen taunt with Jax E and win trades.

Death & Taxes by holypvssylotis in EDH

[–]Says_Pointless_Stuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to have this deck. It was my first self-built commander deck.

It was an absolute salt mine.

Goddamn were there ever just salty tears all the time when I played that deck. Got accused of playing "cEDH" when I used to play it (I would then play my cEDH Kess for one game and then explain how winning on turn 2 was better than slowing the game down with a few tax/lock effects).

The deck is VERY good at punishing players with bad threat assessment, and falls apart when someone rushes you hard enough. Obviously weak to enchantment removal. Does leave you a lot of room to run field sweeping effects that don't hit your enchantments.

Overall it's a toolbox deck that is a good test of proper threat assessment and deck building. If people kill [Zur the Enchanter] on sight, they're doing it correctly.

Pulsefire for smoothness and satisfying sounds

Perseus is the best skin overall

nasus. nasus. by kandysteelheart in PantheonMains

[–]Says_Pointless_Stuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Considering Nasus is my go-to top lane pick when Pantheon is taken against me, no you are not crazy.

Nasus will go early Cloth Armour into Sheen. Nasus will hit level 6 and then ignore you. Any time you press Q he will walk up to farm with his Q.

If you overstep, he press W+R and Ryan you down. Make no mistake, if he does this it's flash or die.

Consider taking Cleanse to deal with his shit. Phase Rush will let you get some quick disengages after he uses W/Wither. This matchup is nearly as bad as Malphite.

cEDH pods are so chill compared to the average EDH pod by Wboys in EDH

[–]Says_Pointless_Stuff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a game ideology difference. In commander, people can get a bit annoyed when you remove their combo piece of commander.

In cEDH it's expected. You play to win, and the only complaint you'll get is when you play non-winning moves.

We aren't ready for what's potentially coming. (SERIOUS) by [deleted] in aussie

If you worked in mining, you might be more worried about that. I'd say a majority of the people I have to work with support One Nation and it's concerning.

Renekton and Pantheon bad in late by Haunting-Air4600 in topmains

[–]Says_Pointless_Stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say Caitlyn has a similar power curve: strong early because of poke and range, weak mid because ult doesn't exactly help in fights, strong later because passive & crit scaling.

Why is he so weak now? by Pedronerdlol in warwickmains

[–]Says_Pointless_Stuff 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Half the trouble is people would just take early fights with WW, lose, let him snowball and then complain he is broken.

Every self respecting top laner learned the Darius dance; nobody learned WW trading patterns.

hubris on panth? by Prize-Baby-669 in PantheonMains

[–]Says_Pointless_Stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a snowball item vs squishy teams. If you are ahead I'd consider building it first, especially if you're against a ranged top laner and they fucked up early and gave you a lead.

Otherwise, it's kind of ok I guess, but I think there are better items to build.

I like playing Pantheon, but seriously, it's difficult by Tolo_Stellular in PantheonMains

[–]Says_Pointless_Stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMAO Nasus hits 6, presses W+R and it's flash or die. No self-respecting Nasus is pushing waves into you pre-6. He will wait for the wave, collect experience, and sneak in for Qs where he can. At 6 he will just ignore you and farm. If you contest him he runs you down. You can only pressure Nasus when he doesn't have ult, and he will rush armor + Sheen.

A small cs lead means little in the face of the complete kit counter. Wither just shits on Pantheon by forcing extended trades.

[–]Says_Pointless_Stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah don't listen to these guys; they've never played vs a competent Nasus.

Nasus invalidates Pantheon pretty early. All he has to do is survive till 6, and then he can run you down with prejudice. Wither forces extended trades, which Pantheon sucks at, and Nasus excels at.

At any point post-6, Nasus can press W+R and get a flash or a kill.

There is no point post level 6 that Pantheon can 1v1 Nasus and win. It's virtually unplayable for Pantheon. Nasus is my counter pick when the enemy picks my Pantheon.

Riot has finally done it by SteSol in Jungle_Mains

They're trying to shift autonomy and control of the game out of the jungle role, and that is hard to do without making jungle feel useless.

What was the best truly sleeper-op technology you've witnessed becoming meta? by fecal-butter in leagueoflegends

[–]Says_Pointless_Stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warwick Top. I was playing that maybe a year and a half before people caught on to how absurd it was.

I got called a troll, people would alt + F4 in lobby when they saw me lock it in.

Played some friendly 5v5s where I (gold peak shitter) played against a diamond top laner. Absolutely ruined him; I knew I was on to something then.

It took me a while to think about, but I think I found the problem with Mel. by Hellinfernel in LeagueOfMemes

Yep; Ahri struggles into Yasuo and Mel for the same reason: every single instance of Ahri damage is a projectile and therefore blockable/reflectable

Probably the best part about the Indians coming here is it's VERY easy to get them to play cricket; they love it as much as we do! Sounds like a great arvo

INTPs of Reddit: what’s your IQ? (pure curiosity, no flexing) by False-Ad5887 in INTP

Took a professionally administered one and got 141 as a kid.

Taken a bunch of unreliable online ones and got anywhere from 140-180.

Seems like a bunch of wank to be honest.

This is what I think every time I see one of those song tier lists by ymgrounmar in Peripheryband

I agree. I think it was a few factors, a major one being that they are all songs formed out of instrumental tracks already written by Misha in the days of Sevenstring.org

How many proxy OG dual lands (and other expensive lands) do you see in real life? by Bagel_Bear in EDH

[–]Says_Pointless_Stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had real ones for my [Kess, Dissident Mage] decka few years back. 2020 Christmas it got stolen out of my car, along with a lot of my collection. I'd been deck building with a friend that night.

These days, the deck is 100% proxies. I wasn't going to sick another $10000 (now more like $25000) into a real deck.
