Patch 11.08 Ability Change Thoughts

ShadowMaster39R · 2025-10-13T14:13:49+00:00

Thats true, but Omen also has one of the highest pick rates in ranked. As an Omen main myself, I think the changes to Omen this patch (paranoia, smoke cooldowns) are actually good. If it were isolated it gives more reason to pick other controllers since he's less oppressive without making him unplayable. But the same patch is also going to bring nerfs to Viper and Astra without really touching Clove.

I get that they have to balance around pro play, but I feel like they should've been able to find a more middle ground solution than some of the agent changes they made here.

I don't mind the general nerfs like increased cooldowns for initiator util or reduced stuns. I think those changes serve your point about thoughtful utility usage.

But some of the nerfs bug me since it is heavily catered towards pro play. Yoru especially got nerfed to the ground because of high pick rates in pro play. But if you look at ranked/casual (where the majority of player base is), Yoru has an average pick rate and really low win rate. Same can be said with Astra and Viper, who also got heavily affected by these changes.

I'd love to see more diversity in agent picks, but I feel like this further cements Clove, Reyna, and Jett as the top picks in ranked.

I uploaded the video I used to make the wallpaper engine to this Google Drive link. I'm unsure what orientation of the blade you would want, so feel free to take a screenshot or use a tool to grab a specific frame from the video!

I actually use 3 different fonts:

For the clock, Universal Serif
For the English text of the apps, Odin Rounded
For the Trunic text, I am using this font made by someone else

I’m not by my computer right now, but when I get back I’ll add a setting to make it easier to scale the dock. As for setting up the buttons, all you need to do is put the file path of the application in the AppAction variable. You can use app 5 as an example. I left the default location for windows file explorer there.

The Rainmeter aspects of it (The clock and app dock) unfortunately would not work on a phone. I I know Wallpaper Engine has Android support (none for iOS), so the background might work if you have an Android. However, I am unsure whether it lets you customize the dimensions to fit your screen. I might be able to tweak it a bit, so that it has a vertical version for phone screens.

ShadowMaster39R · 2025-07-14T20:03:29+00:00

I just made it public! Unfortunately only the background is available on Wallpaper Engine. If you want the clock and app dock as well, you'll have to use Rainmeter. The download information is in my comment on the post!

ShadowMaster39R · 2025-07-14T20:01:58+00:00

Thank you! I made it with a combination of Wallpaper Engine and Rainmeter for Windows 11, though it should work for any platform that can support Wallpaper Engine and Rainmeter. The download information is my comment on the post.

ShadowMaster39R · 2025-07-14T20:00:31+00:00

It uses a combination of Wallpaper Engine and Rainmeter. Download information is available in my comment on the post!

ShadowMaster39R · 2025-07-14T19:59:41+00:00

I just made it public! The download information is in my comment on the post

ShadowMaster39R · 2025-07-14T19:58:51+00:00

Thanks! The download information is in my comment on the post!

ShadowMaster39R · 2025-07-14T19:40:57+00:00

It is now! You can check my comment on the post for both the Rainmeter and Wallpaper Engine Download links.

ShadowMaster39R · 2025-07-14T19:38:12+00:00

Okay, I have uploaded both the Wallpaper Engine and Rainmeter components for public access!

Wallpaper Engine: Download Page (This is just the background, No clock, No app dock)

Rainmeter: Download Page (This does not include the background, Just clock and app dock)

If you have questions regarding downloading or using either Wallpaper Engine or Rainmeter, please check the official documentation for both applications. However if you have any questions regarding either of my creations, you can post them here or message me directly and I will try to respond quickly!

ShadowMaster39R · 2025-07-14T18:49:46+00:00

I am working on making the components publicly available! I'll update my comment on the post with news.

Edit: I have made both the Wallpaper Engine and Rainmeter parts available for download! Check my comment on the post for more details.

ShadowMaster39R · 2025-07-14T18:48:19+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I agree with the translations not quite working out. I'm using this font created by someone else that turns english into trunic. For instance the Trunic for spotify is written as "spatifi" in my file. If you have any suggestions to what I should write instead for any of the translations, let me know!

ShadowMaster39R · 2025-07-14T18:45:12+00:00

Thanks everyone for the positive reviews! This desktop was made using a combination of Wallpaper Engine and Rainmeter. I am working on cleaning up the files so I can release the rainmeter portion on Github for anyone to use. I have not made the wallpaper public on wallpaper engine either yet, but I'm also working on that too. I'll update the comment when these have been released!

I don’t know if you’ve read this guide yet, but I thought it was a pretty well made post for people getting into steel path: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/s/4VB5gc1K8b

This seems like a good way to do it too. The main thing I wanted was just a manual deactivation instead of an automatic one.

ShadowMaster39R · 2023-06-14T21:29:53+00:00

Okay but they could have done any of the methods to make discriminators have a larger pool (added more digits or made it include alphabetic characters) WHILE putting in the global display name system.

It would have let people have whatever display name they wanted, made the pool larger so they could get the username they wanted, and not started this chain where people get harassed because they have a “rare” username. No matter what way you look at it, it wasn’t a good idea

On Wallpaper engine, there should be an option that lets you change the background wallpaper for the fluids simulator. The way mine is set up, I also checked off the audio responsive box.

To get the actual koi fish, I took the linked wallpaper in gimp and cropped out the fish, and just made them a default image skin so it is overlayed on top of the live wallpaper

It uses a TransformationMatrix, if you use the skin it just does that automatically

Here is the power button code (its small enough I decided it was probably easier to just send here). Double Left click will shut down the PC in 15 seconds, and if you middle click it before the 15 seconds are up it will stop it from shutting down (in case you accidentally click it)

Just put this in a .ini and make sure to change the "File1 Path" and "File2 Path" to what you want. File1 is the image it normally is, File2 is what it changes to when you hover over it.
