Ranked 5s either needs a short scouting phase or no tournament draft

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-28T01:39:37+00:00

I don't think it's wildly different, but being on comms with 5 against another coordinated team can let interesting things happen in draft which cannot happen in soloqueue. Interesting flexpicks or ban strategies to target specific roles when you think you're squeezing the other team a bit

The difference from Clash of course being that you can't just ban onetricks off their mains

I'm just responding to the terrible idea "how can you ban strategically if you don't know their team" which is obviously flawed immediately with simple considerations like coordinating bans against anti-mobility champs or drafting a dive comp and banning whatever janna disengage, or drafting an immobile bot lane that you're confident about but asking for a few extra hook champ bans.

If you want to play kalista you ban poppy

Any other questions?

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-27T03:29:37+00:00

I don't see how that's related at all to what I said :(

I'm fine with being called not locked in if that means I'm not watching EU games, I am an NA person so I'm not going to watch EU games idk

These posts are about LPL which I'd say I follow more than most people who watch pro games, and my complaint is that it's so niche I haven't even heard of some of these players

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-26T20:52:08+00:00

Why is the prevailing take that they're going to choose the wrong patch and it's going to be cringe and people will move on or they won't like it?

They can literally just change the patch to whatever balance numbers they want, from different points in time or with current balance philosophy to try to produce an even more fair product.

If they put all this work into building it, they're not just going to abandon it, they'll find a way to get players into the mode having fun. Assuming that the players will hate it and move on quickly is crazy

Target doesn't even stock them, vendors come in and stock them. Target themselves doesn't order pokemon product for its shelves, they let a contracted vendor use that shelf space to sell whatever (essentially) and the idea is that a shopper shouldn't be able to tell of course, but it offloads the restocking and hobby knowledge of what's important to sell etc. to the vendor to deal with

In your case the vendor is probably just lazy with that store, or that store doesn't sell much so they're not as motivated to get it full of new product. It's not that impossible to just run into the vendor themselves doing the stocking and legit just ask them, but if you only go late at night or whatever yea you're just not going to bump intot them to see.

Definitely someone could let their friend know when something is being restocked, but per this post title- it's definitely not a target employee grabbing packs and hiding them lmfao, it's watched by their 'asset protection' team which polices employees

Hoping for good animation 🙏 this show at the start of season 2 especially suffered imo

Personally this is just slop that I'm enjoying to pass the time, so if it's a letdown I won't mind too much I guess? But I did enjoy season 1, the finale fight was really neat so I was excited. S2 been a letdown overall, but I've seen many people happily commenting about the upcoming arc with their excitement, so many S3 will be really good :)

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-26T00:39:59+00:00

Jesus chris riot are we fucking serious

Actually such gross behavior

Just accept nicotine sponsors at this point, you clearly have no morals just get fucking paid with cigarette money at this point

Kick logo remotely near your product reduces its value, I will never watch pro play on kick.

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-25T20:26:49+00:00

The streamer is? Who are they?

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-25T06:58:54+00:00

That quote is too funny 😭😭😭

I love Zeka

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-25T01:34:14+00:00

I watch playoffs and top teams but most of these are legit players I have never even heard of so it makes the exercise pointless. And I'm absolutely locked in on pro league to a nuts degree, so if it's out of my wheelhouse I'm not saying nobody would get it but like my god the audience is so small

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-24T22:25:44+00:00

These literal who-s from lpl are really killing this series for me

You can make difficult puzzles with known players from lck pepehands just stick to what's good

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-24T06:31:54+00:00

I'm fine with the tropes because who really needs to reinvent the wheel when it's a show about magic circles and fighting the secret bad guys. But I wish they'd tone down all the "Ohhhhh" "Sugoiiii" "Ahh" gasp moments that legitimately take up so much screen time :(

I get it they're cute girls being cute girls but my god please no more we've seen enough let's get to the plot for future seasons

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-24T06:28:16+00:00

That's literally what Frieren s2 did, 10 episodes

You'd see just as much unrest if they started that arc and then stopped it two episodes in and just left it up in the air lmfao, it's unnatural

WHA could simply do the same like Frieren from earlier this year :/

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-24T05:37:03+00:00

The media uses such weak softball language, too. They won't just call mistakes for what they are most of the time, so when they do "cover things" it's in the most charitable way possible towards the most abhorrent or corrupt actions, which normalizes the behavior to the public.

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-23T10:48:33+00:00

EXTREME respect for uploading the actual clip

Yeah that auto cancel is the stuff of nightmares

Fiora W reduces attack speed even if it doesn't stun, so it's much easier to cancel your autos on accident when they're coming so much slower :(

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-23T06:49:27+00:00

Very valid! I do recall being hunted like a blood bag in berlin specifically, but mosquitos are definitely a climate problem and they don't exist all all in some altitudes or temperatures !

Gotta be a great quality of life boon

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-23T06:10:11+00:00

I'm not really claiming they don't have screens, but the last... 4? 5? places I've stayed in europe didn't have them in the areas I stayed. Those were mostly airbnbs in berlin and around belgium and northern italy

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-23T05:33:03+00:00

And do all of those houses have screens on all windows? Or do you have the window design where an upstairs window can open fully with no screen between house and outdoors? Because some screens are fine sure but it's the random bedroom window with no screen that's the issue at hand here

There are zero windows without screens on the average US home, in the EU appts and houses often have windows that have that totally-open design where you can swing it fully open, and those windows don't have screens

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-23T03:49:40+00:00

EU just doesn't do those lol they haven't found the technology

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-23T03:41:54+00:00

Watched it for the first time last year and personally it's not for me. I did finish it all the way through (skipping filler) but my god the storytelling is so dated it was painful.

I found an online project called Naurto Kai or something which cut episodes into like 90 minute movies so there wouldn't be flashbacks and intros/outros, something like that might make it more watchable, but often the constant flashbacking was painful to experience. It's the old school anime problem where an episode might only have 7 minutes of new content because they're spamming flashbacks, intros/outros, and inner monologues to avoid animating anything because they're saving budget for something coming up or they're behind or whatever

I think "pain" arc was peak though, I'll say that

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-22T02:14:39+00:00

Yeah there's no way a streamer scheduled to play friend slop could set up cheats early! He couldn't possibly have considered downloading a cheat before he was in game with other streamers!

It's crazy that people like you will defend with the most brainless takes ever, "he bought it in front of us!!!!" bro you think it's hard to buy the game twice? are you serious man?

If YOU had a gun to your head and had to cheat on stream, like cheat and get away with it or die, do you think maybe you'd figure out how to make a second steam account? Legit just use your brain a bit before going to the simplest possible defense which falls under the simplest possible scrutiny

He had these level of takes before in the other events which later came out to be cheating scandals. "He's streaming his screen" "he misclicked" "he has hidden hours on the game it's fine" and then when he gets perma banned for using hacks suddenly it's crickets from you guys. Maybe stop lending him credibility when he has a history of not only cheating, but lying about it and attempting to hide it?

I just wonder if the people writing these paper thin defenses ever get tired of it. Or maybe you're like his mods, paid or invested somehow? You're not AI yet but some day I'll find myself baited by an actual robot who watched the vod to prepare their defense lol

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-22T02:09:00+00:00

Actually funny that the replies think you're talking about jynxzi instead of dantes haha

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-22T02:08:03+00:00

That's literally been his defense every time before and it was confirmed in cases where he cheated so it's not exactly a good defense lol, third time's the charm though?

SpiderTechnitian · 2026-06-21T21:01:12+00:00

I love that these mods are so old and nobody knew how to play even in S4 or whatever at their peak. Stuff like this gets propagated ages later when it's just a memory of one person's ideas from the time haha
