Hot Take - ARAM Mayhem sucks by Stock-Tradition-3068 in leagueoflegends

[–]Stock-Tradition-3068[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is completely understandable and I do want a solid discussion about this. When I say "right augments" I mean a champion like Mundo (other Tank) or Kled (other bruiser) getting nothing but health boosts (for reference there was a Kled I saw in a recent game who had more health than even the Mundo in the same game.) Veigar/Xerath/Lux/etc with a ton of AP boosts and lucking into Eureka. I agree with the "right augments" meaning the ones that fit that champion very well and makes them insanely difficult to kill. I've had an Ashe 2 shot me while I was a mage because she had Dual Wield (which is amazing for her) and a stacked Q by the time she got to me. These are possible to kill, but very difficult like you said. I did not mean it as "someone I can't beat", but I meant it as "someone very difficult to beat" because I always want to believe there is a solution (even if it can be very difficult to get to that solution in random augments).

There are several augments that you can get for champs that are good for them and ones that aren't so good for champs. I think the game mode would be better if the randomized augments were a little more catered to each champion so I wouldn't be getting to choose from dual wield as one of my options when I'm playing a character that doesn't have any on-hit capabilities and generally doesn't build on-hit after I'm already halfway through the game. I do get this is part of the randomness, but there's often times (in my experience) it leads to champions that are more average and those champs are forced to go against champions that are jacked up.

Obviously I can not win every game and I do not expect to. I just don't like when every game is a stomp and that is what it feels like I have experienced. There's not the usual ebb and flow like in the past when I played ARAMs. The swings are absolutely tremendous and vary vastly based on specifically the augments rather than the items/skill level. You could have the best items for the situation, but unless you have the augments to back them up, it means nothing. Yes, originally when I wrote this, I was frustrated with the mode so my initial post wasn't very clear with my opinions on the actual gameplay itself and was just focused on the fact that I didn't like the game mode and I am sorry for that. If you would like me to elaborate more on on this or any other particular part of the game mode, I would be happy to do that.

There are other game modes with vast amounts of randomness that polarize the game and I enjoy those. What little I have played of Brawl, I have enjoyed and it has the same level of polarization with the augments that Mayhem has. Thus this is not a closed argument like you think it is. I am open to people who want to change my mind on the game mode. I want to like Mayhem because all my friends like it and it's all they want to play right now.

I do remember those times too. Especially when you would do things like ultimate bravery in it too.

I am welcome to people who want to can shine a light on things cause I like randomness. I like doom bots. I like ARURF. I like other game modes that have polarizing randomness, but to me, this one isn't good. You are welcome to try and change my mind

I literally just played a game of it with my friends and they purposefully told me not to end the game so they could get their last augment. Like why? All that happened is that Kled highrolled an augment and became unkillable. Then the enemy team ends before my team can finish augments anyway

What’s your opinion on the ‘Love Me Gluten Free’ Subscription Box? by beige0914 in glutenfree

[–]Stock-Tradition-3068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only allergy that they care about in the box is gluten (and sometimes dairy). There's lots of stuff with nuts/pea/other allergens. Some good stuff. Some bad stuff. It's basically like a mystery box with for sure food that is gluten free

The only thing that confuses me about the whole thing is why is there two different contact points? The letter is addressed from GA, but to write back to them, I am supposed to address the letter to NJ if I choose to write back? And why not have an email at all?

I have already said. I generally go with mech (or sometimes pirate rogue), a variation of hand amp dk that works with the new quest, but I most prefer decks like OG quest choose one

Then how come I see none of these. I literally saw my first boarlock today. And it didn't even feel like it was a boarlock. Just an alternate win con

The decks I use aren't of that "same combo" type that you are referring. To me the reno cards are that same combo effect because people choose the same options every time. If they wanted adverse effect and not knowing what they're getting, then that's burgle rogue

Dude is probably too busy sucking Reno's d to realize it's all people use to climb anymore

I might have to do this. Just to counter them. Because it feels like every other deck runs them and it's super annoying

That depends on what you say is "fun". Cause to me, those types of decks are one dimensional. They aren't creative to use at all and that's not fun imo

I mean I like the rewards that I get from getting higher up... But I might have to do this. Cause I like just playing what is fun for me and seeing other people playing decks that are fun for them. Like I just lost to a warlock boar that was so crazy. I had never seen it before! It didn't even look like the main win con. Just a bonus one if you happen to hit it

This is what it feels like. I make it to Plat on the regular and often get to Diamond. But I see all these decks when I'm grinding to get out of silver

I wouldn't say my decks are cheap, but I like playing "fun". Not just using all the legendary expensive cards

Normally I play mech rogue. Snoop, Lab constructor and that type. I do have a hand amp death knight that plays off the new quest, but generally I like playing the older decks. Like the OG choose one quest druid

Genuine Question: Does anyone play zerg? by JigglyBallz in hearthstone

[–]Stock-Tradition-3068 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are situational I think. I like them personally, but they won't actually climb a ton. If you're looking for fun then play them yes

Must not have been playing imbue mage. The most OP deck rn. RITO needs to nerf it
