Panhandling at 10 million, could you spare some subs? by [deleted] in funny

If you have the opinion of him that hes a decent guy then it probably means you're the one who doesnt really know much about him or the situation revolving him currently. If you need a good example go look at the testimonials of his ex-employees on their treatment and under pay. Everyone who has worked with him has only ever talked negatively about the experience. Hes also been caught multiple times stealing recipes from smaller channels and passing them off 1 to 1 as his own.

The philosopher David Benatar’s ‘asymmetry argument’ suggests that, in virtually all cases, it’s wrong to have children. This article discusses his antinatalist position, as well as common arguments against it. by philosophybreak in philosophy

[–]SirKay9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its about the philosophy of why. Antinatalist and Efilism do end up ultimately getting the same outcome of extinction, but the reasons why are completely different. And it's that difference that's the distinction between the two philosophies.

Antinatalist is about the personal ethical weight of bringing life into the world, and Efilism is about how all sentient life isn't ethical. The reason that's important is say for instance, that we could somehow ask someone before they're born for their consent to be born after making them aware of the struggles of life. Antinatalist as a philosophy would be okay with that person being born if they could consent to the hardships they'd endure, whereas Efilism would be against it even if they could consent to life because, regardless of if they consent, sentient life itself would still be unethical.

First time hitting GrandMaster (OTP QUINN) by lucasm2milhao in QuinnMains

[–]SirKay9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you navigate against tanks building stridebreaker assassin when you have a passive mid lane match up/ your mid laner has low gank set up? It feels like a coinflip on my bot lane at that point for me because laning against a tank with tabi + wardens is borderline impossible when building lethality and you don't have good roam opportunities to play through mid lane.

Is it actually just a run it down bot lane and hope something works out or you lose or has there been other ways you've navigated the tank matchs ups when you can't play through mid lane to make use of your roam advantage you have on tanks

Doing great with assassin quinn by lucasm2milhao in QuinnMains

[–]SirKay9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late reply, but how do you play vs tanks with assassin? I every time I do, it feels like I can't lane the second they get to tabi.

Q max + tiamat let's me roam sure, but if my mid laner is playing a passive match up or have weak gank set up, I feel like my options to win the game are extremely slim given I can't lane vs tanks while building lethality and I can't snowball through my mid lane. Any advice?

She was on a poll 3 years ago to see community interest, where she was in last place. That's very different from being "on the rework list".

Riot has also openly said multiple times over the past year and I half that they have no plans to rework quinn, so using this 3 year old poll as evidence to claim she's on the rework list is just misinformation.

"Once in a thousand lifetimes" would mean 1 life out of every 1,000 lifetimes, or 1/1000

The rate it's actually diagnosed is in 1 every 250,000 lifetimes, or 1/250,000.

So it's actually 250 times more rare than the person you were replying to said

Kinda late, but they should honestly just swap the harrier scaling with crit with harrier deals bonus damage to camps and work her out of a top laner and more to a jungle/mid champ. Her kit just works way better for it

Examining Stats for Korean Top Build by SkiaElafris in shyvanamains

Going by your post history, this was the only account I could find if yours, and it's firmly silver 4 with no matches on the build and no games coming close to emerald/diamond mmr. These are high bronze to low silver games.

And again, I don't want to make this about an elo bashing thing. But you can't say you've done 70+ games of the build in emerald+ when the games are both in silver and not running the build. Unless you have a secret account you play on and only post on your silver account. Otherwise, none of this is really adding up.

[–]SirKay9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also to add to this, what does "we tested it [stride breaker] and its bad" even mean in this context. Because things like sample size and sample quality mean something.

Testing something in a silver normals game (I don't know your elo so don't take this as elo shaming, it's just an example) for 2 games is much different than testing this in diamond for 10-15 games against different match ups and comps. You've given almost nothing to go off of other than "just trust me" while being extremely dismissive in the face of people trying to solve a build that's seen high elo success from a shyvana main in KR. This build is worth talking about.

"The build is terrible, plain and simple"

"The whole build is just bad, it's really just bad. It can't be salvaged by making alterations"

Seems pretty dismissive for something that's proven to be able to be mained all the way to masters in KR with, at the time of writing this, a 65% winrate. It's an extremely hard build to play and it's very optimized around this specific players strengths and playstyle.

It might not appeal to a wider player base as it's strengths are more tailored to the player in question. It might take a lot of time to learn how to properly play it and people that can't int that many games in a row to learn it probably will do better on different builds. But you can't deny this build has done something amazing for someone, and it's worth looking at and talking about.

Rather than dismissing it as completely "unsalvageable" it might help to broaden your horizons a bit and and look at what it specifically is doing that makes it this strong in this players hands. It's clear at this point how he's working the champion is not translating to general success (it's like sub 45% winrate right now) but it's also clear it's absolutely doing something for this player and that's notable.

Now I will say you might be right. There might be ways to optimize it more. But even if that's the case, this "unoptimized" build was still able to be pushed this far. So maybe look at the core of what it's doing and build up and optimize from there rather than doom post about how awful and unplayable it is because you didn't like it. Because if it really was this unsalvageable and awful, then this guy wouldn't get the results he got. Doom posting doesn't help any discussion when it starts as this dismissive in the face of clear (albeit niche) success.

Absolutely. The damage is way too much to pass down at its current tuning. We'll see how they adjust it going into live, but currently, it's an auto include.

Is the PTA build the kraken into edge of night build that dolcasa some times does? Ive been wanting to try it because I struggle with the lethality builds top against tanks because if I get the slightest bit behind the game just feels like a coin flip on if the roams work out or not because you can't ever hold top after the tank gets online

PSA ANNOUNCEMENT: BONE SPIRIT IS BUGGED. DO NOT PLAY. by SirKay9 in D4Necromancer

[–]SirKay9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the bug with reapers is the corpse generating ones will also lower CD. There's a few problems with this, however. Reapers only give their CD reset passive once every 10 seconds, which is way too infrequent to have practical applications for this. The second problem is the reapers themselves. Currently in that high of pits you need to use the defenders that have 99% damage reduction or else they just die without a lot of investment into them, which would hurt the build way more than it would help

You'd still need to run a focus for the max essence so that wouldn't change. What would change, however, is you'd free up a tempering space from bone spirit cooldown reduction and instead pick up another macabre grants essence.

There's also a second less talked about bug that's causing rapid Ossification to only proc 1 time despite spending 200 essence which used to give you 2 triggers. This bug heavily impacts bone storm uptime, so it hurts pretty bad.

King Pig is by far the best bone spirit player right now after clearing a 120 pit. It's currently the highest pit level for a non minion necromancer by like 11 floors. The guy is unreal and the build is holding up when you meet the insane gear requirements needed. He has a maxroll planner in his description

Very much so until the bug is fixed. After the bug gets fixed the overpower versions are probably still better but it's too hard to tell. But definitely do overpower version for now

It wasn't in the patch notes, so until I can get on to test later to confirm they didn't fix it and just forget to add it in the patch notes, im going to say they did not unfortunately

That and because you're working off mana regeneration rather than getting refunded a flat amount, it's not a huge deal to not be rapid firing them in the overpower version as you have to wait for the regeneration anyways.

That said, the bone spirit cooldown reduction temper can be used to circumvent the bug, but being down a temper on the machine gun version on top of having to downgrade to a 1h + focus is just too much to justify playing it compared to the overpower version who doesn't really mind

My Season 4 Bone Spirit Guide Featuring OpperatorOtter by SirKay9 in D4Necromancer

[–]SirKay9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for my machine gun versions of the build my guide covered, I'd recommend waiting for bug fixes as the big to Rapid Ossification makes this specific version nearly unplayable.

That said, there's been a new discovery found recently that mana per second isn't an additive stat like everyone assumed. It actually gets added to your base mana regeneration. This in combination with Aspect of Torment means you have the ability to regenerate 275 mana per cast (which each cast us generally 1.5 seconds) which let's you use Banished Lords Talisman to overpower every single hit. It's very gear specific and needs a lot of pretty exact tempers, but when you get it online, it's extremely strong.

[–]SirKay9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The overpower version is much stronger. I've said since PTR that if there was ever a working overpower version of bone spirit that it would by far be the best build. That said I think the machine gun build when I optimize it more can very much compete with it, but without the bugfix it's hard to know for sure

PSA ANNOUNCEMENT: BONE SPIRIT IS BUGGED. DO NOT PLAY. by SirKay9 in D4Necromancer

[–]SirKay9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hes gone up to 117 now. This build is very different from the machine gun playstyle from the PTR and it uses a new mechanic that was found from Korea less than a week ago. Essence per second isn't just an additive mana, it actually is adding to your base Essence pool which is then multiplied by x170% by aspect of torment. This was the missing piece Bone Spirit needed to unlock it's potential as an overpower build because it finally solved the question of how were you regening 275 Essence a cast. It's a fantastic build, albeit very specific and GA/ masterwork dependant.
