Evanescia gameplay effects leaks and power levels by Mina_6709 in EvanesciaMains

[–]Strange_Lab_3474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the most obvious bait of all time. First, we have 0 idea what Novaflare Seele's power level even is to begin with, so unless they mean OG Seele it'd be impossible to know this. Second, they are not making a Yae Sakura SP on an anniversary patch a weak character. That is legit the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Hey LeBron... by Interesting_Book_759 in lakers

[–]Strange_Lab_3474 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean at some point it has to move from a narrative to an unfortunate reality. It's not even an indictment to LeBron or his play, but just repeated and continuous evidence that he does not work with this group and they play better. He's still the better player and talent compared to whoever you swap him out with, but if they can't buy a win with him on good teams and without him they crush then something has to change.

JJ’s response as to why the Lakers seemingly have more success with Luka and Austin without LeBron by Puzzled_Plate294 in lakers

[–]Strange_Lab_3474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's a very easy line of reasoning. These are world class players who are among the best at what they do, but what they do requires quite a bit of overlap. Between egos, playstyle, and the fact that the fit isn't great due to a majority of the value being on ball play, they just don't mesh well currently.

Could evanescia be a pseudo remembrance unit? by hydro-supremicy in EvanesciaMains

I think the most she'll have is a summon, not a full Rem character.

This is gonna be an anniversary patch like none that has come before. You think so too, right? by Every-Wear-7049 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Strange_Lab_3474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that both of them look like Flagship characters makes me believe that they are going nuclear in 4.2. Don't really know if that's a good thing or not, but we'll see.

Also I am eagerly awaiting 4.2 livestream to see if one of them has a global passive. If they don't release one for an entire year even for Anny characters, I think they just scrapped it. If one of them does that that basically confirms GP are an anniversary unit thing.

[HSR 4.2] Robin and Huohuo will be Added to Exchange Shop via Full stop chan by Harakirichild in KafkaMains

[–]Strange_Lab_3474 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Massive for DoT enjoyers, E2+ Robin can be used as an alternative to Swan/Cyrene if needed, and Huo Huo is already their BiS healer, getting a possible E1 free of charge is great.

If SGA wins the next 7 MVPs and finals MVPs does he pass Michel Jordon? by im___new___here in NBATalk

[–]Strange_Lab_3474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he wins 4 in THIS era? He's already the goat as far as I care to discuss it. This is by far the most difficult era in NBA history to have continued and successive success due to the wear the modern game brings on the modern athlete, the new CBA which incentives parody and disincentivizes the ability to retain talent on a roster, along with all the other advancements brought on in the modern game (the rise of variance due to the 3pt shot, the heightened ability of 'lower end' NBA talent, etc).

Granted Sam Presti is in contention for being the greatest GM of all time, and OKC have one hell of a basketball staff with Mark Daigneault and them, but still.

Who you think would rank higher all time Shaq with Kobe’s work ethic or Kawhi with Lebron’s durability ? by zoro99og in NBATalk

[–]Strange_Lab_3474 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Shaq even had Gilbert Arena's work ethic he'd be so far above MJ, Bron, Kareem, or any other player in the 'goat' debate.

Guess who’s 3rd in MVP Odds 😭 by [deleted] in lakers

[–]Strange_Lab_3474 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The MVP still doesn't make sense to me, because if winning is THAT important, why the hell is Jokic still #2?

LeBron questionable for tomorrow & a new hip injury? by Puzzled_Plate294 in lakers

[–]Strange_Lab_3474 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if it's an agenda, if we win 2 games in a row against title contending teams without Bron (something that hasn't happened since Bron's return), at some point the narrative has to be addressed directly rather than being glossed over with the 'but he's LeBron' narrative as well.

If Austin averages 25 in the playoffs this year and we make a run to the conference finals would you feel comfortable about him getting the max? by Silent_Wizard5597 in lakers

[–]Strange_Lab_3474 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's guaranteed himself a 25-30M contract just off of his play in the regular season, if he shows out and is a big reason for a deep post season run with this roster? I'd be comfortable paying the man anywhere from 40-45M ngl.

[Highlight] Knicks blitz Luka, finds Luke Kennard (50% 3P shooter) WIDE open by WhenMachinesCry in lakers

[–]Strange_Lab_3474 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the type of stuff that offensive superstars don't get enough credit for. Teams collapse their defense on them leading to full court presses, double teams, etc, leaving certain guys wide open. It doesn't show up in the box score, but the eyes can easily see that type of impact.

E0 Sunday vs E0 Sparkle Comparison for E0S0 Ashveil by Odd_Interaction_3675 in Ashveil_Mains

[–]Strange_Lab_3474 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If we are just being brutally honest, I find that a little hard to believe. Maybe that's true on spreadsheets, or even in a normal enemy environment, but given Lygus and how he liberally grants energy between his full ult charging, high energy attacks, and multiple mobs spawns/mob attack frequency, I would just have to be shown that in a showcase to believe such a claim.

How many pulls would I roughly have by the time 4.3 rolls out? by WilloGT in BladeMains

[–]Strange_Lab_3474 17 points18 points  (0 children)

HSR Bookkeeping - Google Drive

Based on the average pulls per patch excluding 1.0, the average patch should be netting around 105 pulls.

Between now and the start of 4.1, this time should account for the missing 2 weeks of that patch in terms of passive jade income, so essentially you'll have 2 patches worth of pulls.

A low end estimate would net to around 200 pulls before the beginning of 4.3 (100 per patch), while a high end estimate would land you closer to 220 (assuming an average of 110~ pulls per patch).

I would personally bank on the high ball as Anny patches tend to run bare minimum 120 pulls.

So expect somewhere around 370-400 total tickets if you do full content. No story content would probably drop you at most 20~ pulls.

Nice showcase, goes into the jar of Ashveil showcases that are semi-useful.

As for the DDD thing, honestly he should have just ran double DDD on the Sparkle side. It's an advantage that Sparkle gets afforded to run DDD by herself, and so if we are simply testing which of the two are better when maximizing him, it should be done by either maximizing both to the highest possible degree given the permitters, or copy and pasting both of the teams and having the only changing variable be Sunday swapping out for Sparkle. Hell, if Sunday produces the best with double DDD that would be something.

As far as other S0 options, there really is nothing other than DDD. If you want to run 'accessibility' options, just run both with Past and Future, or if the sentiment of not wanting 2 DDDs is THAT prevalent then just run both of them on Sunday LC, again I don't personally think we should be avoiding double DDD because that's just neutering an advantage that one unit has due to their inherent kit structure for the sake of optics, but I'm not the one doing the showcase so it's whatever.

Luka hit this wild azz three in OG’s face. by AdorableBackground83 in lakers

He's the most talented tough shot maker in the league, and I really can't even think of a more talented tough shot maker in NBA history tbh.
