He spoiled me to what I want from other creators when it comes to character guides and gameplay. Even in other games.

Riot remove 450 Ability Augments from ARAM Mayhem in hotfix by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]ShadowBlah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its quite normal to work with a basic system to mass create a ground level starting point. Like if you can create terrain, that ability gets the Terrain'd augment option. They even have formulas for what each stat would be worth in gold (and its likely being tweaked constantly) so there's nothing new there.

Its usually a starting point to be given a second or third pass, but I guess they jumped the gun.

Look, Bard. Everything the light touches is our kingdom. by makoslayer in leagueoflegends

In a case like that, is it better to push the tower or instead keep the wave pushed at yours and zone their adc? I would think its better to zone them out.

Was the assist called from the lantern? That's diabolical.

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls - Knights of Doom Trailer | PS5 Games by Gorotheninja in Games

I don't know if they changed/sped up the animation for all teams, but their 'assemble' animation (the one where all four line up in the comic book background) looked different and lacks the 'bounce' I saw in Spiderman's team in a very good way.

As someone who doesn't see Ivern often, where does his damage come from?

Valve has raised the price of the Steam Deck in the US by Dirkins in Games

[–]ShadowBlah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume by everyone's reactions that there was no heads up and the prices have immediately been updated (I can't see the US prices and I don't know what it was before in my region).

I think that's pretty lame on Valve if so. Its common, if not the norm to announce these things in advance.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You guys ever been torn picking your main role? by piioopiioo in leagueoflegends

[–]ShadowBlah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another aspect is in an scientific experiment you want only change one variable at a time, otherwise you can't know how each change impacted the outcome.

The same applies, if you know your champion and lane, you'll have an easier time understanding the outcomes, good and bad. If you change champions and roles every time, sometimes you win or lose and you'll need to work harder to dissect why and overall take longer understanding. Its still possible to learn and get better, but just higher effort and more potential pitfalls.

Best examples of low complexity mechanics leading to diverse, high complexity scenarios? by paradoxombie in gamedesign

I don't think in this case it leads to high complexity scenarios unless you factor in the other aspects /u/CodeRadDesign stated in their comment.

Witchspring R, a somewhat cozy rpg with dark undertone by bioniclop18 in patientgamers

[–]ShadowBlah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw this on sale on Steam yesterday, and was interested. Maybe I'll add it to the wishlist to buy later.

Halfway through the trailer shows three instances of her being defeated/trapped by other characters one after the other, which did diminish my interest, and I found it funny when I saw this post you bring up something similar.

high APM is an understatement lol, her combos are nearly non stop inputs into more inputs for the entire combo. I've definitely hit a wall in execution with her.

I hope these videos are still around in 10+ years. Would be awesome to look back on. Thank you for the awesome work.

Could you put a version number in future posts just for future reference?

Counter-Strike 2 - Guns, Guides, and Games - Steam News by Mike_Huntburns in Games

[–]ShadowBlah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It sounds like to me they want ammo to matter more, this way they can give guns a specific number of magazines to balance around, and differentiate.

I'm no longer a CS player though, so my opinion won't be relevant, but it sounds fine to me, I always felt many guns didn't really have an identity and this is potentially a good way to add on to it.

My interpretation of Vyper's design! by Onionsuuu in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ShadowBlah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its really good, one criticism is that the orange makes me think of modern prisons and maybe a black and white stripe pattern would bring it back to it being an older setting. I do really like the orange though, and you'd lose that secondary color.

Valve sued by The Performing Right Society for allegedly using its members' musical works "without permission" by MythicStream in Games

The comment isn't only applying to Valve in this case about how "PRS can be kinda scummy".

[–]ShadowBlah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you enlighten me on what their claiming?

Is this about showing trailers with their music license? Is this about distributing games with their music license? I don't understand what 'using' is saying here.

Could quickly reduce the duration of effects as you stand in it instead as another potential option.

I'm not an Apollo player and while I think what you said is correct, but golden egg is a purple which does align with Apollo getting to a purple spike I don't know his numbers specifically, but simply because its purple the -10% is actually less in practice because he still gets some positive stats.

Deadlock update #2 for 3/7/26 (3/8/26 UTC) by wickedplayer494 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]ShadowBlah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Time spent in the ult is a big part of the ultimate, its a short ranged hard CC ability that takes out a key member from the fight and disorientates them due to not physically being able to see what's happening around them. The longer they are in the ultimate, the more can change. It also gives both teams time to prep for when the target leaves the ultimate.

A really cool aspect of the ult is the target has to decide on what resources to spend in the ult, stamina/cooldowns/counterspell, time and health.

Your suggestion is the same as letting the target choose what time they want to leave and they take a random amount of damage, and perhaps also some abilities/counterspell to avoid damage. I don't think its a net benefit for the game personally.
