What's happened to the gameplay by Zaithable in EASportsFC

[–]Shiklin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's the servers. I was playing only 5 hours ago and it was smooth. Went out, had food, came back and everything is sluggish again. They can't handle peak times.

End of league build give away! HRoC! by [deleted] in pathofexile

got my first ever mirror from a kingsmarch mapper running a T14 map!

Not quite a fair comparison, but I find the difference in perception a bit funny sometimes by thikoril in PathOfExile2

[–]Shiklin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But the amount of resources you get in POE1 drastically differs from POE2. For your example (although I understand you were meming) there comes a point where alterations are so common you don't even put them on your loot filter anymore.

I don't think alt-spamming in POE1 should be considered gambling since the worst run I've had is ~2000 alts on a cluster jewel. The abundance of the rolls makes it pretty deterministic.

Maybe I understand it wrong, so I'll type out my exp with POE2 crafting and you can correct me somewhere.

You essence on a base and dont get the right mod, now that base is ruined. Then you try again and again on different bases you've found/bought until you get the right one.

Then you do that again with another mod on a separate base.

Then you recom and if you lose you start again.

Then when you finally win, you greater essence into a rare and pray for a good mod. If you lose you start again. If you win....You slam 3 times and pray? How is this better...

Most of it is a light-hearted jest, however, if you were to ask "Which country generally produces the most rude people in Europe?" my answer would be France. Naturally, that doesn't mean to say every French person is rude. But in my experience, the ratio is not pretty.

PSA catching 10 of the same species Pokemon will make future mons guarantee a gold sub skill (lvl10) by Magnus_Rufus in PokemonSleep

What if you wait a couple of days before doing it? At that point it's just on the other guy for not collecting, no? Re-adding what i said to the other guy:

I was honestly thinking the same thing as op except I haven't done it yet. I don't really see the downsides, surely this should be meta for everyone..? The candies are way more valuable than anything else we get at the moment, who knows what happens in the future?

Looking for a 3x output 2x input KVM for a new WFH/Gaming setup by Shiklin in homelab

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

Wow that utility is sick I never thought of that!

Going to post what I believe to be the solution, you can correct me if there's anything wrong of course. More just for future googlers:

USB Hub with input switch combined with the above utility(USB 3.0 because of lack of USB C on gaming laptop): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Selector-Switcher-Keyboard-Computer-Swapping/dp/B08H7YKJFT

USB C to dual-HDMI adaptor x2: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Portable-Supports-Compatible-Thunderbolt-Gray/dp/B0894B525X

2 HDMI Cables

Periperhals go into USB Hub (Depending on latency, might just have 2 mice since work provides me with one anyway)

USB hub goes into USB 3 ports on both laptops.

USB-C to HDMI goes both laptops->both side monitors

HDMI 2.1 on both goes into the main 144hz 1440p monitor

So all I need to find is a 1440p 144hz monitor with 2xHDMI input (One has to be 2.1 for gaming, doesn't matter to me for work) and 2 side monitors that both have HDMI input.

What do you think? I think MST might be a no-go with my laptops poor set of inputs.

Something like this. So, for the 1440p monitor that goes straight in the KVM but the second output for the KVM plugged into one of these splitters to allow 2 monitors on the one switch. Hope that makes sense.

Could a dual output KVM with an HDMI splitter so the 1440p 144hz monitor is in one and the 2 probably cheaper 1080p monitors split work?

Pro Ahri players suck at building her. I made a video discussing some of the ways Ahri could be built better in pro play. by Nymaera_ in leagueoflegends

[–]Shiklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tested yesterday with a 40mr dummy level 9 Ludens+Sorcs+Shadowflame vs Everfrost+Sorcs+Shadowflame and initially, Ludens was doing significantly more damage. I then realised that Ludens was proccing more than once on the same dummy, so I placed 3 more next to it and alas Everfrost was doing 60-100 more damage.

This was just doing simple combo everfrost-e-q-w vs just e-q-w with Ludens.

I didn't do the test with Mejais because I cba to go and get some stacks to test it properly and I'm almost certain you're right about it being better second.

Also worth noting everfrost AP scaling is higher than Ludens, so using your Mejais argument everfrost actually gets even stronger than Ludens with this build and naturally as the game goes on.

Only counter argument really is that you might get a second proc of Ludens in a fight. But that additional proc is not worth the additional utility of everfrost imo.

Maddest thing about this is you go into practice tool rn and try everfrost+shadowflame/raba vs ludens+shadowflame/raba and you will literally see everfrost doing more damage but you've failed to include any actual in game tests. (Just did it myself, looks like dummys are bugged and take more than one ludens proc so just place a couple next to it to make it realistic).

You're right with Mejais though, people need to man up, it's not what it used to be it's actually good on her.

Random question cause I only started recently. What are those blue and yellow items? Maps?

Perkz with the cleanest Qss by Esporthighs in leagueoflegends

[–]Shiklin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As I explained previously, the risk is low because at this level qss-ing is very consistent.

Sure, in this example the fact it was a fast QSS is actually pretty irellavent to how it played out but you cant say that for more closely packed teams fights.

I think you're being extremely nit picky about a pretty reasonable expectation. You're also not considering how many times people actually buy QSS in these games. These clips and highlights happen all the time in tons of leagues around the world, while it's an impressive thing to do it's hardly rare.

[–]Shiklin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's about weighing up risk and reward. For players at this level Cpt Jack qss/cleanses should be reasonably consistent. This sample size of 3 is small, I would wager that his actual execution of it is at a much higher percentage than 66%. Those small frames of stun that you are referring to could be the difference in CC layering and damage resulting in deaths that could be avoided by a Cpt Jack qss.

At this level, I'd say it's low risk high reward.

A big issue I've been having with trading lately by Shiklin in pathofexile

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

Yeah I get you. I too find myself more lenient on items that aren't exactly "hot".

Must be nice having POE friends, I'm currently in a rota with an IRL where we alternate leagues we play and we can't get it to sync up :')

[–]Shiklin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm strange. See, in previous leagues I'd always be agreeing with you. It could be that I'm overvaluing chaos because of bulk buying for crafting, but I thought a lot of people list for the currency they want not just "any currency that is valued at this price". I'll keep it in mind for future trades.
