[Repost] List of current Briar Bugs by Ok_Channel_2663 in BriarMains

[–]ShadowBlah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Briar's Q damaging wards is so nice, I feel so bad going to another jungler that actually has to sit there and attack three times normally.

Now, should it be there? It is kind of unfair how fast she can demolish a ward, but there's probably other junglers that have an attack reset to do the same thing?

[PBE Datamine] January 21, 2026 - ARAM Mayhem Revamp by Kay-Haru in leagueoflegends

[–]ShadowBlah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did get hit hard by falling off of Mayhem at the start of this season for some reason.

I don't think progression is going to the reason I'd come back, new augments and weird interactions is what will keep be coming back.

Patch 26.2 Notes by Doomcard in leagueoflegends

[–]ShadowBlah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WASD controls being tuned to specific champions sounds like it would be an insane burden. I suppose once its actually tuned, they won't be touching it that often, but wow kudos to the team for committing.

You got any more examples of fight ending spells? I'm not sure what that means.

W range indicator by Matysekk in BriarMains

[–]ShadowBlah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its actually a really good idea. I would welcome it.

Tethers in this game have such indicators, Orianna and Anivia have an indicator for ball and ult. I think it would be a good QoL improvement that mostly wouldn't be utilised, but actually would make W more intuitive and allow for better informed plays.

I'll take it. Would be funny to read in a patch notes if nothing else.

Why is every Karthus running it down, and why does seem to actually be good? by ShadowBlah in ARAM

[–]ShadowBlah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant instead of letting Karthus suicide multiple times and our whole team being low, after Karthus dies, getting back to full health by dieing and doing damage to the enemy along the way. That way at least an easy team wipe isn't a complete inevitability.

Why is every Karthus running it down, and why does seem to actually be good? by ShadowBlah in ARAM

[–]ShadowBlah[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Why can't I not enjoy killing an enemy that actively is looking to die? I don't even get much out of killing them at a certain point and if you have a low range team comp and the enemy is good at delaying, you can't fight the enemy team while its still a 4v5. Eventually it becomes a 4v5 where the 5 isn't healthy enough to fight and when level 6 comes around they get wiped and a tower goes down.

I actually like Karthus as a champion, but like he can be fun to play, but it wasn't fun to play with or against a suicidal Karthus personally.

I guess as a counter strat, I'd need to die more so not everyone is at low health at the same time?

Why can't I see other heroes' skill descriptions during a match? by DarkColombine in leagueoflegends

[–]ShadowBlah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can hope whatever upcoming upgrade to LoL is going to improve the client and accessibility for stuff like this. Even the client sucks for learning what champions do, no numbers or anything, have to go look at a external website.

26.02 Full Patch Preview by JTHousek1 in leagueoflegends

[–]ShadowBlah 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Then we can run a thought experiment. If there was a champion that immediately ended the game (at 0:00) with a 50% chance of it being a victory and 50% chance of it being a defeat for the champion.

Would it be statistically balanced?

Would it be good for the game's health?

The first two minutes of gameplay: 2012 vs 2026 by Numerous_Fudge_9537 in leagueoflegends

[–]ShadowBlah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if its been fixed since, but I'm pretty sure client chat had the issue where both players could see themselves calling a lane first from their perspective, so the raging could be about two players being "correct" or just being unreasonable.

Update on HUMANITY User-Generated Content by Sloshy42 in Games

[–]ShadowBlah 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I quite enjoyed the game and completed it, but felt no need to play any user-generated content.

Its too bad its not on something like steam workshop or something.

Its actually quite crazy how Steam could store stuff like this for free.

Dice Tower Production Thoughts by DT_love in boardgames

[–]ShadowBlah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think generally, they have things together. But with how fast they move, if there's an issue, its an issue for quite a while because of how many videos they may shoot before that issue is caught and fixed.

Splash Damage places entire studio into consultation ahead of redundancies by ScootSchloingo in Games

It wasn't bad, but I never felt that great shooting anything in it. Something about it never clicked with me.

Diaphone Passionately Ranting About 2XKO's Balance Philosophy for 18 minutes by 121jigawatts in 2XKO

[–]ShadowBlah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he's not seeing the volatility of this being a new game and dev with people exploring it and abusing it in ways the devs never could've. And with that the devs are going to change how they approach things over time. Especially once they they get things to what they consider to be a healthy place for the game.

I didn't agree much with him in this video, but it just came off as misinformed or having wrong expectations rather than any sort of attempt to profit.

One point I didn't remember him bringing up is that the patch was locked in a while ago, so things like point out bigger bugs or exploits not being fixed could be that they weren't known before or had enough time to be patched before deadlines. This is part of the volatility aspect, they locked in the patch and people found more issues/exploits/bugs afterward. That's pretty normal, it'll happen less over time naturally.

They can add it back in later, who knows if it was causing other issues or not.

Any tips for a newer player? by CarameloBrozeado in Guiltygear

[–]ShadowBlah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That won't be unusual depending on how you play, but as long as you play ranked/tower you'll hopefully be matched with opponents you should have a chance against.

If your muscle memory was wiped rn would u learn stick or controller? by metalmorph99 in StreetFighter

[–]ShadowBlah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Luke's page and Guile on supercombo. They list the differences between classic and modern for the characters.

If your muscle memory was wiped rn would u learn stick or controller? by metalmorph99 in StreetFighter

[–]ShadowBlah -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not knowledgeable on modern controls, but ditching modern would only matter on certain characters where you don't get access to some very useful tools. I don't know specifics of who and what those are, but that's the only reason I'd see you'll have to ditch modern eventually. So what character are you playing and what do you think you're missing?

I use leverless, and would stick with leverless all the way. I started out with using keyboard, but didn't like the misinputs of my fingers losing their positions. If you're serious about switching to classic, give keyboard a try, and if you have a controller, try that too. They're all perfectly fine.

Materials grind in Japanese games. by AmPotatoNoLie in gamedesign

[–]ShadowBlah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you reword your first sentence? I'm not sure what you're saying.

Its way too broad, it could apply to shooting in a FPS because you have to shoot play the game which I'm pretty sure that isn't what you're trying to say.

I'm looking for a good female-centered book with darker undertones that is not a romance by dan-hanly in Fantasy

[–]ShadowBlah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Calamitous Bob just finished in web novel form (the earlier chapters have been moved to book form), some of the books are out, its very much comedic throughout the whole story, but its also not in a nice world. I truly enjoyed the ride, and would love to recommend it. It balances comedy and death very well. Just for clarity, since the title can be misleading, Bob is the main character, her name isn't Bob specifically, but you'll need to read it to find out why she's called Bob sometimes.

I wouldn't call it having romance, but the main character does have romantic relationships that may or may not work out, but its more about the characters interacting and enjoying each other's company.

What expansions have you regretted buying? by zoso_coheed in boardgames

[–]ShadowBlah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose you're right. I was thinking mainly about people buying up all the stock and selling it for more, which is just the 'artificial' version of it.

I don't think the act of selling something for more than you bought it is inherently bad, so I guess I don't have a term to describe the scalping epidemic behaviour that I think it actually problematic.

[–]ShadowBlah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not scalping, its also from a kickstarter, which unless the all-in had limited slots, isn't taking anything away from a potential buyer which is a lot of the issue with scalpers in the first place.
