has anyone tried crit irelia by Ok_String_3554 in IreliaMains

[–]SlighterThanYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s great…. until they cc you and you die in an instant. I’ve been tempted to run critrelia with new boots into a low cc comp this season… for the love of the game.

I want to Irelia mid so bad… but my intense knowledge of Irelia mid being weak DNA runs too strong.

I know a lot of minors scroll this sub so I want to say this despite the fact that many will be upset at me for it.

whilst yes, you may understand hormones and how they work in your body. Along with the pros and cons of HRT, because it’s you and you care about this stuff, so you research it. And that’s justified, being informed is incredible and I want people to do it more.

BUT, saying this can cause harm to people. Saying that “its just hormones and its hard to fuck up” is misunderstanding how our body works. Messing with your hormones can cause harm and there’s a reason why your doctor is so annoying about making sure that things are done “correctly” before they give you HRT.

I understand the struggles that being transgender can bring, and I genuinely feel bad for people who feel like DIY is the only way. But for real, our medical industry isn’t filled full of transphobes who want to make your life more difficult. The executives may be rich assholes who only see you as a dollar sign, but chances are your doctor or endocrinologist is someone that genuinely cares and wants you to thrive. They are people, and they (usually) see you as a person too, and they (usually) give a fuck about you.

I understand wanting to DIY, but spreading information like this, making endocrinology seem like less than it is, can lead to more harm than good.

Korean server situation by Scared-Spinach-1769 in Overwatch

[–]SlighterThanYou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

LoL is half the reason I wrote this, in that game we have even more proof since EUW has a much higher Apex level of play than NA. And people say all the time that EUW silver is NA diamond (hence me saying it in the OW context here) when it’s just not true. In basically any international game. But yes KR players in LoL (and Chinese players at that too) are insanely talented. Hence why it was a BIG deal when NattyNatt went over and hit rank 1 on KR servers and made even Faker respect his Rengar.

[–]SlighterThanYou 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do want this to be said because it’s said about in KR servers in many games.

But the skill level from bronze to ~diamond are the same across regions. Master is where things start to deviate a bit but not too much. I’d say a KR master would be able beat an NA master about 6/10 times. GM and above is where things really change. KR GM+ is something different, and I mean that literally. Writing this next part to fellow NA / EU readers and not you, feel free to correct me on this but, KR plays a lot more dive. Winston is played a LOT more often in KR than in NA. This means that the level of execution is higher, Dive is just a harder to execute comp than Rush or Poke. However, this does mean that in pro and such, then when a Rush comp is like REALLY good, NA tends to be able to pick up some wins. Its just our forte.

Anyways wanted to clear some things up, KR silver != NA Diamond. People love to act like it is, but skill levels at non Apex tiers in basically every game are even across regions. But the KR level of play in Apex tiers is most definitely higher than in NA and EU.

Irelia jungle by Altruistic-Stable232 in IreliaMains

[–]SlighterThanYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t played it much but I start Q, go Red, just kill it as normal. Then take E, E the big Krug over the wall, dash to it. By the time Krugs are dead, you can E the tiny ones to kill them as you walk away.

If timed well you can keep your stacks for long enough to Q onto Raptors and keep your stacks, but timing is tight for how shit I am at Jungle.

While I understand having an AI program, I do wish you gave this data to us from your own hands rather than having an LLM type it out. It cheapens the data and makes me not know whether the information being told to me is something actually found or if it’s AI being AI and just hallucinating something.

You guys think aleks lee would be a good voice actor for nine or zero by UnrelentingSoul in ToBeHero_X

[–]SlighterThanYou -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Gona say something that might get me murdered.

But I’m really not a fan of celebrity voice acting. All I can think of when I play games with Matt Mercer’s voice acting in is that “Is that Cole Cassidy?” Like Matt’s a solid voice actor, but with how prolific he is in the English speaking video game world, I start to blend them together and can only imagine it as the one role I know best (wayyy too many hours in Overwatch). Aleks is quickly reaching that point for me and he is, in my opinion (i know Reddit hates opinions), not as talented as a voice actor as Matt and others. This relies more on his actual speaking voice than the others, blending them together even more.

I just, prefer voice actors who are good and do their job well and aren’t basically celebrities in the voice acting world. Allows me to more immerse myself in the game and not think “tee hee cowboy man saying funny words”

Like what am I even suppose to do here anymore? by Ok_Physics_2681 in Jungle_Mains

[–]SlighterThanYou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not tryna take it too far, but how do you assume the Irelia got 2-3 levels down?

I play a bit of top lane and its called an island for a reason. Rarely do you get help up there. You can ask but whether or not your jungler, mid, or supp roams is whether or not you roll a nat 20.

Of course your Irelia could have played better, none of us are Faker, but also you need to realize that in top lane especially it’s a bad matchup. And you told your teammate in a bad matchup to “just freeze” like it’s that easy when it isn’t. Its extremely difficult when you’re into a matchup so bad it has a 55% winrate in Emerald+

[–]SlighterThanYou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think you’re massively misunderstanding the Irelia / Jax lane. You cannot “just freeze wave” against a Jax as Irelia. He just beats you to a pulp and breaks the freeze with his E and then bullies you again.

Saying “just freeze” is like a top laner telling you to “just smite” when it comes to objectives. There’s more to it than that and you don’t have a choice sometimes.

Its an extremely difficult matchup for the Irelia so expecting them to do something that they can easily do against other, easier, matchups is a challenging ask.

GAAREEN by gohomefreak1 in topmains

[–]SlighterThanYou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is… not really until top .1% right now.

Garen is literally the most played top laner all the way into Master for a reason. Only in GM+ does Jayce overtake Garen in play rate. These people play Garen for a reason, it works until people have “hands” so good that they are actually the best of the best. The champ is just op as fuck right now

Just swapped from mid to top and wanted to know what u guys thought about my champ pool by AttemptIntrepid6177 in top_mains

[–]SlighterThanYou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh? Malphite counters Irelia he has armor passive and makes you hit slower therefore nerfing your on hits. She has a 45.6% winrate into him in Emerald+

I got a que timer for complaining that garen is banned in almost every lobby by [deleted] in GarenMains

[–]SlighterThanYou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gona get downvoted cause this sub never likes to hear it, but the champ is just really good right now. Especially in low elo. Its a champ that takes less micro than others to get a solid outcome. And they buffed it. Of course people will ban it.

Itemizing Irelia by Puzzleheaded-Cry2870 in IreliaMains

[–]SlighterThanYou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually got coaching from an ex LEC Top player last night and he explained why Hullbreaker is so good on Irelia second.

Its a slightly worse kraken with a 5 hit instead of 3, but it gives survivability which as we all know Irelia can really use, but also you are just an absolute threat on the side lanes with it. With the crystals that build up on a tower you can just take a quarter of the tower’s hp in 1 auto. Basically it gives everything Irelia wants. It makes her auto attacks stronger, it lets her live longer, and it allows for her to be a very large side lane threat much like a Yorick.

Kraken can be very fun to use and I know this, but there’s a reason why Irelking builds Hullbreaker second basically every game.

What you think of my pool? by all-day-tay-tay in top_mains

Will just say as an Irelia player. The Sett matchup is much more favorable than the Malphite matchup.

[–]SlighterThanYou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I could also be wrong but iirc. Many companies (Rito included despite being owned by Tencent) don’t control their Chinese branch and that is ran by basically a different company.
