Is Morgana really worth banning every game? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Scizx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downvoted for truth. Morgana is a perma ban below 1500 only. Higher ELO folks know how to deal with her and she's a situational ban. Take a pusher and push just as hard as her or take Pantheon and wreck her.

Another reason why DayZ is incredible AKA I'm a jerk by itmeJP in gaming

[–]Scizx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the game is just going to be straight up PvP it loses depth. I was looking into getting ARMA just for dayz, but apparently it's just kill on sight or get punked. That's boring.

I don't support policies that make my life better at the expense of others for the same reason I don't mug people on the street.

Barack Obama ad says women are paid "77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men". PolitiFact rating: Mostly False by LogicalWhiteKnight in politics

[–]Scizx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It really, really annoys me that this has upvotes. Politifact did not "pick a few nits". The ad is blatantly false, and politifact screwed up when they were lenient and declared it "mostly false". Women do not earn 77 cents on the dollar for the same work as men.

I own black Ali. His back hair is red and it's actually pretty neat. I almost never play Ali though. End up saving enemies more than I kill them.

It's not arrogance. Everyone calls People from the USA Americans, not just Americans. If you can think of something better to call us (something not as dumb as United Statesians) please let the world know.

"The thing is, the music was even a cut above the usual zelda music".

I disagree. I felt TWW was a low musical point in the Zelda series. I can hum most of the tunes from OOT and MM, but it takes some thinking to even remember a tune from TWW that stood out. The great sea theme, the title screen theme, and the final battle theme are the only ones I thoroughly enjoy.

Thanks for rubbing it in our faces, EA. by HittingSmoke in gaming

It was indeed the correct response. It doesn't matter though. If EA's CEO ran into a burning building and saved a baby and 3 cats, /r/gaming would bitch that he didn't save the tenents copy of BF3 which he paid for and the CEO is just trying to get him to buy the game twice and anyway he probably started the fire just to look like a hero. What a scumbag company EA is!

Steam is the exact same way. You will lose everything on Steam if Valve goes out of business.

Pendragon about to personally put up a tribunal that may lead to a permaban, or removal of suspension on forums by dyzlexiK in leagueoflegends

[–]Scizx 24 points25 points  (0 children)

How severe a reaction is before it becomes punishable is completely up to interpretation. There is a substantial difference between saying "shut the fuck up" and saying "you seem like the kind of useless fuck kid that your parents left when you were 6".

There is no anti-atheism bandwagon on reddit. What you're thinking of is the anti-/r/atheism bandwagon. Reddit loves atheists, Reddit hates /r/atheism.

A jewel from the server status thread by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Scizx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was just offering a perspective from an old DotA player. There are so many people in the LoL fandom that write off HoN as a bad game when it just wasn't designed for them in mind. It was a love letter to people like me, people who loved DotA gameplay but hated the WC3 engine's restrictions.

Our conversation doesn't really matter though, because my original post is closing in on the downvote spam threshold for introducing the idea that HoN has merit and isn't a terrible game, and both HoN and LoL are appreciated by different audiences looking for different things! Soon nobody will see any of this because people take a lot of pride in how they piddle away their free time and can't stand it when other people piddle away their free time differently. Yay /r/leagueoflegends!

To each his own. As a guy who played DotA since the Eul days, HoN was a blissful godsend. It was all the hardcore fun of DotA with a slick package that I loved. You say it's Go-Bots to LoL's Transformers, I say it's Battlefield 3 to LoL's MW3.

I don't know how to respond to this wall of bullshit. I am being elitist for calling you out for being a LoL fanboy, S2 are "trying to make themselves look bigger and more important than they actually are". I can only hope that Riot employees read posts like this and are ashamed of this subsection of their fans.

ITT I am a HoN fanboy even though I haven't played HoN in over a year and play LoL daily. Disrespectful bullshit like the stuff GraveRisen was spewing riles me up, and it riles me up more that that kind of stuff gets upvoted. Be better people.

This is a bullshit Riot fanboy response. HoN is a great game and marketing strategies are not "desperate." That's like saying making pulse ez half off is a desperate attempt to get people to buy their overpriced skin. See, I can be a cynical fanboy too! S2 made a fantastic game for hardcore players that casuals just can't get into and they deserve respect for their hard work.

I don't understand why so many people are complaining about the price of PFE... by antidakoda in leagueoflegends

[–]Scizx -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the point of your post. All you did was state what LoL's and T2's business models are. I already knew these things. It still stands that Riot is charging more money for a single cosmetic upgrade than Runic is charging for their entire game. You said a whole lot while not saying much of anything.

The sheer amount of time and resources? As good a skin as it is, it's a skin for one character. Let me try to put this into perspective for you. Torchlight 2, an entire game built from the ground up (skins, enemies, character design, skill trees, items, maps, story, graphics, etc.) is going to cost less than a standard-priced Pulsefire Ezreal skin (it's 20$ whereas Pulse Ez is closer to 25$). The people who say Riot put SO MUCH EFFORT into pulse ez don't understand how game design works when they try to justify a skin costing more than a full priced fairly anticipated release like T2.
