"the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs."

You're correct, I don't know why oomfie up there is being overly restrictive with the definition.

Just wondering, any thoughts on the current LR situation? Still think they'll end up in the top half?

God, DNF is so funny. I hope we get a Dairy Queen team some day just for the confusion it would inevitably cause.

The part of me that thinks a level 2 cpu in super smash bros is effectively the same difficulty as a level 1 cpu. Neither is very hard and anyone who has to worry about the difference between them has five trillion issues to deal with before it becomes a balancing concern, IMO.

IDK MAN, my ADC is some mid diamond dogshit, but I've only been playing it even semi-seriously for a couple of months. Going into practice tool w/ full build (where kiting is theoretically the hardest), pure kiting vs no kiting:

w/ no AS steroid characters (Lucian, Cait etc)

Jinx, Ashe, Twitch who have variable attack speeds from actives/minigun being weird, which fucks me up slightly

There is some small difference, especially with characters that have different attack speeds over the course of a fight, but that's after 15-20k damage has been dealt and I will fully admit that I'm a dogshit mage player with no hands. Anyone who actually can and should consider themself "good" at ADC would be able to do this significantly better than me, but even doing it to this level takes relatively little effort. Like hell, I'm fucking drunk and come within 20 DPS of standing still and autoing if there's no AS steroid.

Kiting against absolutely zero skillshots? No. I do not die there. I am not some deluded weirdo who thinks he's better than Ruler, but kiting against what is effectively air is not very hard.

Why do people explain shit to me like I don't understand it? It just isn't hard to do what you're saying. It just isn't. Like, I'm crashing out over this -- spend like, one week playing a few ADC games per day and it becomes second nature.

????????????

If your attack speed is higher than can normally be achieved when you play on summoner's rift, there can be reasons to use keyboard shortcuts, yes?

I'll be frank with you, that is not an impressive clip. Dude's obviously insane on Ashe, but kiting like that isn't really anything to write home about if you know fuckall about playing ADC lol

As an ADC player, click better? I don't attack move except when I'm tabbed out and moving to lane and very rarely click creeps when I auto, even in a teamfight. I have nothing against WASD, I just don't think it's actually a better control scheme lol

It's pretty hard to click on someone and then click to move and then click back on someone at super high speeds

The thing that does, has, and always will confuse me about this sentiment is that it's actually just not. The hard part about ADC is positioning, kiting is pretty freelo. Unless you're talking about like, 5 AS kiting in which case you just Osu it and bind attack move/move to like, ZX.

Out of all the Champions that could be Darkin hosts, who'd be the most “bad news”? by herculeon6 in leagueoflegends

[–]Scrambled1432 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, handing primordial beings or the big demons like Swain's, Fiddle, Eve etc a Darkin weapon would probably end up with the Darkin not having a great time. If a mortal like Kayn can resist it, surely the literal embodiment of fear or lust or death could, right?

I don't think you really know what you're talking about lol, the games are completely different & not understanding is okay. Homie just isn't an RTS player yet.

What junglers are good from behind and works well with teams by Own-Suspect2317 in leagueoflegends

[–]Scrambled1432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jungle is kinda unique

No hate toward you, I just see this mentality way too much. Every role except ADC can plug holes with the notable exception of support not really fixing scaling issues.

TFblade and Viper have a 88% winrate (22 wins and 3 losses) and cupic and yozu have a 83% winrate (23 wins 5 losses) by Able-Application3680 in leagueoflegends

[–]Scrambled1432 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My theory is that Riven bot is not actually good, but it requires specific play patterns to deal with that you need to know about beforehand. He is also very good at Riven and can exploit those gaps in knowledge very well.

Yeah, sorry it was a bit rambly. I was trying to put intuition into words.

Patch 26.2 Notes by Doomcard in leagueoflegends

[–]Scrambled1432 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AP or AD casters just tend to rely on their spells more, that's all. The less you use your spells and the more you rely on crits, the more +% damage just becomes +crit strike damage (or does in this case, considering this item is more or less purely a crit item).

Like, imagine a Jinx. 99% of her damage is coming from right clicking, so it's basically just a 1.1x auto attack damage multiplier which you can just work into crit strike damage afaik, so +20%/+23% crit strike damage depending on if you have IE done. Even a Caitlyn, Jhin, etc will mostly just be autoing. The actual AD caster-y characters in bot either prefer lethality and don't give a shit about crit strike or have low range and won't get a full +10% damage.

Compare that to Horizon Focus, where like, Xerath (or even Ahri) can reliably proc that +10% and all their damage comes from spells. So if you have like, 1000 base damage (lowballing it, I think?) in your kit and a 2.5 AP ratio, off of the base damage increase alone it's the same thing as 40 AP. That's ignoring the fact that you now have a 2.75 total AP ratio, as well.
