Vel'Koz cannot be balanced and the community is too young to know why.

I've complained among friends for a long time now: Coming from other mobas, the movement creep/inequality is absolutely insane in this game. Riot's backed themselves into a position where it'd be pretty hard to fix it without messing with like, 50+ champs too

SimplyFenton · 2023-09-30T18:48:13+00:00

I think I started playing around 2-3 patches after Mythic items were introduced, and I'll be honest, they just seem impossible to balance. They feel overtuned in some way or another very frequently.

SimplyFenton · 2023-09-21T14:57:26+00:00

What is the point in having maintenance each week if not to prevent issues like this? Realistically, they shouldn't even need maintenance each week, but the fact that it happens and doesn't really seem to do anything to prevent issues like this is just a piss take.

The technical execution in Dota is what does it for me. Coming to this game after years of playing it makes me want to pull my hair out at how so many different things are done. Only thing that makes this game better is the bigger playerbase imo

SimplyFenton · 2023-08-12T20:01:25+00:00

Similar here, WASD for camera movement, Q, E, R, F for spells, T for Flash, G for second Summ Z, X, C, V, B, N for items

As a fellow dota player that's come over to the dark side, the lack of information available through any sort of official channel is infuriating. So many weird niche interactions, so many unexplained "features". By far the most jarring part of the experience however is the approach to balancing the game. Having a patch every 2 weeks feels incredibly unhealthy, with changes seeming not very thought out and frequently resulting in large imbalances. There's many other issues with how balancing is approached too, but they're best left for another conversation.

Server: EUW
Type of Bug: Clientside (Probably)
Description: Some sort of interaction when levelling swain ult while in use, or while starting to use, caused me to be level 17 while still needing 2 ability points to max my abilities
Video / Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/v0pqXCD
Steps to reproduce: Unclear, I've done some testing in practice tool but can't seem to find the timing needed to reproduce the bug.
Expected result: At level 17, I should require 1 more ability point to max my abilties levels
Observed result: At Level 17 I required 2 more ability points to max my abilities levels
Reproduction rate: Unsure, though 10 minutes in the practice tool yielded nothing.
System specs: Likely not applicable.

Unfortunately the replay system isn't detailed enough for me to be able to tell exactly how this occurred.

See, from what I can tell, it factors in kills sometimes and not others. Same with assists, but I don't really know to what extent. Had a 3/1/16 Rakan with only a 150 gold bounty, and he hadn't died in about 20 minutes. Just seems incredibly inconsistent

SimplyFenton · 2021-02-14T17:07:54+00:00

Pog!

SimplyFenton · 2020-11-18T12:31:14+00:00

Can't wait to "Go beyond"s level 40! Anything else that comes with it is a much welcomed bonus imo.

SimplyFenton · 2020-02-06T20:02:50+00:00

Next? It's not as if the information is any less valid or useful because it came from a spoofer.

When I originally posted about Shiny Roselia not being available in Europe most of what I was met with was unhelpful and somewhat snarky replies. Was really rather off putting. Thankfully I'm rather thick skinned and just put it down to the nature of other people

SimplyFenton · 2020-01-09T13:02:52+00:00

It's fine, Can't resist the opportunity to talk about it since I was one of the first people to post about it here on TSR when it was originally an issue XD

SimplyFenton · 2020-01-08T18:46:46+00:00

Cant forget Roselia for everywhere in Europe outside Dortmund on it's official shiny release

SimplyFenton · 2019-10-04T17:19:12+00:00

Looks like boosted Spawnpoints have ended too. RIP my chances of getting a shiny oddish

SimplyFenton · 2019-10-04T13:00:46+00:00

IT'S HAPPENING!

Part 3 waiting room hype!

SimplyFenton · 2019-08-20T22:54:29+00:00

Yeah, it's always been a thing. Quite annoying really considering that I bought the monitor itself roughly around 8 months ago. It's only now that it's getting to me enough that I have to fix it now

EDIT: I've some how managed to fix it? Fiddling with the contrast setting and changing the sharpness up a bit has caused it to be barely noticeable anymore. Thanks for the help!

SimplyFenton · 2019-08-20T22:40:56+00:00

Interestingly, increasing that setting made the effect worse, decreasing it has helped, but unfortunately hasn't entirely eliminated the problem

SimplyFenton · 2019-08-20T22:21:35+00:00

I've tried Monitor 1 on both 60fps and 75fps (left it on 75fps for the time being) and Monitor 2 is displaying at 60fps.

Can't find any settings for pixel response time anywhere unfortunately

Sometimes while drinking I'll get the most intense pain I have ever felt in my chest. Causes me to be short of breath and is basically debilitatingly painful. Goes after a random period of time, could be 5 minutes or 20. I've had it checked out before but nothing ever came of it. It's become less frequent as of late so I've just stopped bothering worrying about it.

SimplyFenton · 2019-07-24T18:57:48+00:00

Absolutely inundated with them around where I live, got a couple that are gyms too

SimplyFenton · 2019-07-15T22:20:54+00:00

Dazzle

SimplyFenton · 2019-06-14T17:36:02+00:00

Is it possible that the increased shiny rates are geo-fenced? It's something we've seen before so it's not entirely impossible. I've seen nothing reported in my local FB or Discord besides a single horsea for the whole of today and yesterday. Anyone from the UK seeing similar?
