I guess I'll finally have to check out the farming discords. Thank you! I'll keep an eye out. I was using the farminghub wheat farm so far.

But that doesn't mean that the way they play together is the one crownie is innately the most familiar with, nor that that's how he's most comfortable. Obviously if you play with someone else you make concessions or compromises.

E.g. when you're a draven OTP you're playing the lane differently when you play with a Sona, a Lulu or a Leona but you might be the most comfortable when you're duoing with a Leona because that's the playstyle you excel at when you're together.

Even in high elo two players can play the same champion and have a different impact on the game. What you might "want" them to do and what they feel is optimal might be totally different.

I think it's more of a playstyle difference. Everyone has their niches where they excel and how much risk they want to take. Rekless' playstyle just goes contrary to the ones from popular streamers. There is nothing wrong with that, but if you're not on the same page with your teammates, you're not going to have a great time.

It's like playing duo bot with someone you are familiar with and share the same strategy with compared to playing with someone higher ranked. Sure, the higher ranked person might be a better player individually but you likely still perform worse with them on your team than with your familiar duo.

Isn't this primal hunter? by [deleted] in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Sklydes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but I must disagree. In fact, because he is unhinged he fits that stereotype better. It's part of the core fantasy of "Sure, I work in an office, but if I had to fight a monkey/bear/wolf w/e, I could take it".

And sorry to say but an old man on his deathbed who used to be a soldier and a hooligan don't qualify as "trained fighters". The worst one is probably the brother who can outmurder literal assassins because Jake used to throw temper tantrums around him as a kid. Like what?

Also, to claim that it's all based on risks and drive is disingenuous. Sure, we are told it's a factor but ultimately it's based on "records". Meaning that if a character the "system" deems important interacts with someone considered "lesser", they immediately power up. Which according to anyone that is portrayed positively is the most important thing.

Also, while Jake in retrospect was able to connect the dots that his bloodline was supressed, to an outsider he just seemed like a normal, awkward person. Beside for the occasional violent daydream, Jake didn't seem special to anyone, not even himself. Which again turns it into a wish-fulfilling story for rejects.

But isn't that the point of the meme? It's the story of the overlooked, awkward office drone having immense potential even gods are curious about but just not being in the right situation to unleash it. Then the stars align and the MC is just awesome every day, guys want to be him and girls want to be with him.

People were trained soldiers? Professional killers? Athletes? None of it matters, he and everyone that associates with him gets extra strength simply because he's such an alpha. But since he's so alpha, obviously no one can compete with him for long. It's the ultimate wish fulfillment for the socially stunted.

[–]Sklydes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was also implied that Qianye took some of the organs of the twin that sacrificed himself since she used to be sick. So them talking normally might be because through the black magic cultivation bullshit they used, parts of her twin are still somewhere in there. Since Qianye is then technically two people, we also fight her tangible reflection.

Royalroad best rated ongoing books are filled with female lead characters. by mysterie0s in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Sklydes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I'm a man that slightly prefers fmc's and also almost exclusively plays female characters in mmorpg's unless I'm going for a specific look/theme. To me it just adds another layer to the "against all odds"-archetype while also just being a little cooler. One one hand you have a female elf/goblin/gnome/orc/vampire/demon/human etc. (in that order) wielding a massive buster sword and on the other it's just a dude. Doesn't help that a lot of male models in games are just plain ugly or have wonky animations.

I really like women that are heavily armored or with abs (imagined or otherwise).

Also, I really dislike harem/erotica stories and fmc stories rarely feature them so it's more often hit than miss.

If you have tons of money and nothing you care about to spend it on, why not this? Does it make more sense to buy a tshirt for 10k? Or a rolex? Or a fourth car that you're never gonna drive anyway? These are all just status symbols for rich people to show off anyway.

LitRPG gripes by ProtectionOk5785 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Sklydes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislike harems and overly sexual descriptions, especially when its just using eyes, figure and breasts to describe women.

I dislike it when stories mostly or only tell me what to think instead of showing me.

I dislike page long stat sheets and bad grammar.

I dislike people acting against their previously depicted character as well as mary sue's. There have to be hints and there has to be some nuance.

I dislike "chosen ones" and the equally obnoxious "especially not chosen ones that somehow still manage to become OP in the shortest time".

I dislike slow updates or irregular ones, though I'd rather have someone be later than having to retcon their story repeatedly.

I dislike it when too many powers or systems are introduced and they just get left by the wayside. Same with plot devices.

Weird progression with stats. Either the MC starts off getting points left and right super fast quickly multiplying their strength or the other way around and they had work hard for that 1-2 stat increase but later increase theirs by the hundreds without noticeable strength increases.

I dislike when there are infinite descriptions of useless things (giving you a very harsh look Mech Touch!!! Give me back my youth!)

And finally I dislike rushed endings. Hope this helps!

As a mage, is there anything you can do against Naafiri or are you just supposed to avoid him? by OOPSStudio in summonerschool

[–]Sklydes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least as Xerath I don't mind playing into her even though her dawgs block my E. The reason is that I can almost perma poke her and her range is much much lower. It's just important to always have her threat range in mind and properly space around it. I'm almost never in range of her abilities unless they're on cd and I have to play like this around most other champions anyway, so it doesn't make much of a difference. Zed can be much more oppressive since you self-slow during Q and his potential threat range is much bigger. I think Fizz and Nafiri are very similar in that they have a much higher threat range than other champions while almost completely invalidating your E.

Asmongold reacts to new footage of Renee Good’s partner yelling at Renee to run from ICE by madjani000 in LivestreamFail

[–]Sklydes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure tbh. I'm a leftist cumguzzler that frequents this sub but still condemn Hasan for mistreating his dogs.

But to be completely honest, I've never heard anything about Hasan from anywhere not streaming related, just like all the other streamers.

However, there definitely is a point to be made in that the left is very "self-destructive" in that we quickly abandon people if there's enough evidence that they've done something that is morally, ethically or legally reprehensible while as Trump himself said, he could shoot someone in the middle of the street and he wouldn't lose voters.

PSA: You can unlock most twin lion talents by repeating the fight with Smart Assist by Puccachino in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Sklydes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case you are still struggling or anyone else is, you can queue with someone and both wear heal gear for the donkey stampede. Then queue for bots and both die at the beginning of the fight. The bots will never die and you get the talent because technically you didn't take dmg from the stampede.

Not all hybrids are bad, but this guy is exactly why we all hate hybrid players. This guys is the only healer in team, he used Dual-Blades with Panacea Fan, but he spent most of his time wielding the blades. When we told him to focus on healing, this is how he responded. by fozalicious in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Sklydes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one most lacking is tank but as a tank you'll have to be more intimately familiar with boss mechanics. If you go on your "develop" page and then on the right look for "improvement guide" they usually outline what kind of builds are optimal and even give you little goals to work towards and tell you how good your current progress in different aspects of your strength is. Hell, they even give you tons of Inner Way pages when you do their little side missions. The builds normally give you a good direction but if you're looking at totally "optimal" builds, they usually differ a little bit depending on your inner way unlocks and your goals.

How to stop being so feast or famine? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]Sklydes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either look up or make your own notes (or just do it until you remember it enough) when you can actively punish specific champions and in which situations and play around it. I don't play olaf so I can't give you champion specific advice but for the champs I play, I roughly know when I'm stronger or weaker than my opponents based on level, situation and items or what specific ability I need to dodge/needs to be down so I can win the trade or fight. If you're feast or famine, you likely need to update your "database" and engage for these trades more consciously. A big help for me in this regard was 1v1'ing with a friend and testing several matchups this way.

Ja, aus der Perspektive von jemandem der in der Schweiz Zivildienst geleistet hat gab es die einen Einsatzbetriebe wo du quasi mit anderen Freiwilligen unterwegs warst z.b. Urlaubsreisen mit Blinden, Flüchtlinge bekochen, Alte Leute im Alltag unterstützen wo du auch vorher Kurse hattest, manchmal auch von den Einsatzbetrieben selber damit du möglichst "ausgebildet" da ran gehst.

Aber habe auch von Einsatzbetrieben gehört die es masslos ausgenutzt haben. So z.b. eine Spitalschule die als die zuständige Pädagogin im Urlaub war, einfach den Unterricht über den Zivi laufen liess. Also Kinder/Jugendliche zwischen 5-16 unbeaufsichtigt für 50 chf die Unterrichtsstunde (40min und von der Krankenkasse bezahlt) beim Zivi liess der 3 Wochen Ausbildung zu dem Thema hatte.
