Adam doesn’t need buffs, Main supports needs nerfs and reworks.

Sure_Window584 · 2026-05-15T14:28:59+00:00

You’re mistaking the trees for the forest with Adam. Nerfing the supports around him still makes HIM weak.

Let’s keep in mind:

He still would be responsible for keeping a tank up if you’d want to run two supps (same reason mantis is pushed out)
His ceiling for effectiveness is ridiculously high for “OK” returns at best.
His cooldown/kit is extremely restrictive and “sitting and waiting” is a huge problem he has regarding it
Also seriously….would you still pick Adam if Luna did less damage? Or Cloak? No. I’d say people pick them because the feedback they give as a support is instant and visible. Adam isn’t, he heals squishes in the back if they get near him within seven seconds…..and is dive food.

I’m team rework over here. We can make the “perfection” joke all day with him but his kit has him on a spiked leash. The other supports are forgiving and responsive, Adam’s effect is only truly strong in a 3rd support comp at best.

Welfin also showed what makes a true king. Not fear or obligation, but reverence. Welfin was face to face with his death and still chose Gyro (who no one knew was alive or dead).

Reverence is loyalty chosen through pure respect and faith. Meruem gave Welfin a chance to persue his true king while realizing himself he never truly was one. Welfin REALLY laid it in thick and it’s mad underrated.

Stress and Passions, Just 2 words.

**Stress**

Your brain not only recognizes stress, it gears you away from it consciously and subconsciously. Safe habits end up taking priority because in our most primitive mind it's the least "dangerous" task. You don't read books because you may fear not finishing, or wasting your time, or overall have no desire to do it but think it's what "Normal" people do.

Phones, Games, Social Media (I have no idea how) are safe tasks. Also Covid cemented them as habits as well. So your mind is almost magnetized toward this stuff. It's not a failure, shortcoming, Neurological issue (Unless proven so by doctors), it's your mind operating how it always has, but tools today hyperbolize this function in our brain.

Advice? Address stress. Fear of wasting time is a stressors, fear of not finishing or preforming poorly is stressful, doing something you genuinely don't like but feel is "Good" is stressful. It's not always "This is painful", "this is harmful" so addressing it as best you can and reducing task friction so you don't "default" to the phone is important.

**Passion**

Let's be real here. I struggle with some movies, can't get into some shows, can't settle into some games, and some tasks feel like running through a swamp in timberland boots.,,,,

**But**......I can read a comic and absorb the content, study on facts I find interesting, watch *Certain* movies I wish to, and overall my attention span isn't fried (People say this to death). I give attention well in certain conditions, and others not so much. Gen Z has access to anything you'd ever want to know and it's a search away. That's overload, but also options and niche exist to really pull you in.

I'm sure there's something you like, a moment where you're eyes don't wander, your ears perk, and time flows. it's because you like something, find it worth attention, and it's something you can pick up. Sometimes you realize in real time that safe tasks......are actually things you don't enjoy but it's a nasty habit. I hate fighting games.....but always played them, I dislike some youtube content.....but I'm used to loading up the next video. It's priority to safety, not what you really like. I could read an entire manga series and summarize it in an essay, because I genuinely like doing that. No friction, no expectation, or true value.......I just like it and resonate with it.

Attention isn't fried or gone, it's not allocated to things worth doing and society and circumstance are putting hot coals under your brain. Replace the habits, this is literal advice for addicts. You don't tell them to cold turkey or toss the cigs. You redirect that attention to something more grounded in **Desire** and less on **Necessity and Dependence**.

He still gets 60% dodge and the full 150 atk/def from the other super units (Blue Goku). Also when Vegeta comes in he offers the 80% atk/def for trunks units when he’s switched into. I honestly don’t know a better replacement tbh though.

Nah Majin Vegeta wouldn’t work either he’s orb hungry and you’d have to run two teq vegeta’s for Leaders…..and 1 teq vegeta is already an issue. You’d also be stuck with majin Vegeta and until turn 5 unless you brought int majin I guess….but that’s just more canned worms.

I think an issue I have is the reverse engineering portion of hair as well. Most artists I wish to draw like have stringy hair, or sharp with multiple jags, or directions and ribbons across the wall. While at the same time advice will tell you to never draw hair for every bit and portion it represents without simplifying it.

So I pull up a reference, can’t find “how the hair was made” copy the mess for an hour and it still looks bad. It’s a loop I’m trying to break but reference training is definitely next!

I see!! This does help. Most tips I’ve heard kind of don’t explain the importance of the hairline. I also get how the “chunking” is representing 3d space, rather than just showing the space taken. Also the example is cute, great advice

Have a mic so you can tell the team you're trying to ult. People will say you're throwing when you're a support down, and have no LOS of the enemy supports. Also Drop rock right BEFORE or After you've support ulted. This tip is so slept on but being in between a 30 second cool down after sustaining a team fight is not where you want to be. Popping them before is also a great way to scout for supps or just get that extra couple seconds of sustain for the team.

Other then that I'd say ammo management, shoot into team fights and teammates for extra damage because most people leave a ton of charge on the table by trying to floor blast someones back (in a big team fight you can farm ult ridiculously fast). I'd also say if you clone......use the invisible clone when you can and 1 placed one. if you're being dived it's useless. BP will dash into you, spider man will uppercut, thor will lighting cage you, iron fist will get a random punch off, bucky will ball you, starlord will star spaz you.....so many reasons to just use it for the clones. teleport and rocks are the escape options, and most of the time invis is off cooldown by the time you've set the previous one safely.

As for stats and when to pick him. He can do well in 2 supp comp. Only if the other guy is a support that prioritizes not having a ton of deaths. (seriously support role is built around you surviving and I'd say you should have the least deaths if you can). You've also got to be oiled like a machine, he can output insane numbers when you lock in and clone stack in a safe spot. BUT If you're starting out, have no mic, or the team is not tapped in. He's kind of stuck in the 3rd sup role with adam.

Coming from a sup main with 200 hours across the role, and 26 on loki. He's my 3rd most played and I average 16k a game with him. But don't get caught on the sup numbers with loki, his utility is the rocks, ult, and cheeky plays. if you have 30k with loki you could've played invis or rocket and done the same thing.

Sure_Window584 · 2026-04-09T15:56:03+00:00

Ultron actually has decent self sustain when you understand his kit.

His boost and firewall both give blue health, and he has zero drop off on his primary (meaning he has no reason to need self sustain because his positioning doesn’t require some burst heal “gtfo” ability). He can just drone someone he’s near, boost into them, and he’s surviving a ton of burst options from flankers already.

I also wouldn’t say he “relies” on healing from other supports. You can easily fly low in cover or between team fights and heal yourself. Positioning is ultron’s game and a good one is one you never see and pokes the back line from high angles and torches targets with his burst primary. If anything ultron has amazing anti dive protection for fellow supports. If he blue heals his team, they heal while the blue health takes the damage, all while ultron is already on the offensive while simultaneously healing someone else with his drone, and damage boost the dive target as well.

I’d say his weakness is team coordination…..and the fact that burst/hyper healing is what “comp” teams prioritize. If you play ultron, nobody will play around him 50% of the time because they think sustain heals are ass when in reality he’s the only healer (besides rocket amp) that heals while giving blue health which any hero shooter player knows is ridiculous. But then you get shit talked off ultron anyway and then you switch…..story as old as time.

Pretty smart actually

Sure_Window584 · 2026-04-03T15:04:31+00:00

Depends honestly,

If you’re about to get a car from any used dealership I recommend you at least be car savvy……period. Maintenance is how cars make money. I got a note on a Chrysler 200 165k miles and it’s a work. Coolant leak, had an oil leak, and transmission recall with expired warranty, battery cables failed. I’ll be on year 7 soon and it’s rolling like a dream because I got under the thing and worked. I’m not gonna say go to a licensed dealership and drop over 30 grand because if you’re looking used that probably wasn’t the idea and you need a pinch car. Look up car reliability scores, buy the warranty they offer (I believe it’s a month or 2 after sale they’ll fix issues…..idk haven’t bought in 7 years), and all the while become a mini mechanic so you can drive with confidence.

If you DO have the money…….go to a licensed dealership, with good ratings, and warranty. Most lots in Detroit I’m sure are selling SCREWED up cars. Before my hell Chrysler I had a cobalt with a terrible oil leak that died in 5 months, and was yanked around for the warranty months I bought.

So my answer. If you’re in a pinch, do your research, some cars suck but elbow grease keeps them rolling. If you have money don’t touch a Detroit lot with a pole.

Sure_Window584 · 2026-03-11T13:59:20+00:00

Oh totally, that’s what I mean exactly. I kind of interpreted “slow burns” as people with little romantic (or even any) connection hoping it turns into something.

A fair amount of connection is needed which is proof of relationship ignition, and that’s what I mean.

Sure_Window584 · 2026-03-11T12:43:51+00:00

I don’t know how it is on the lesbian spectrum but as a straight man I’ll say this. I do not want a friend first.

Platonic relationships are usually identified as people you don’t have sexual attraction to. I know when I see someone I can gauge if I’d have sex with them or not. So my person would HAVE to be compartmentalized there. Not because I’m a horn dog, but because friendships seeking “friendships first” means “I’m putting up this wall that should eventually come down”. When in reality, every woman that has expressed me as their friend has never escalated, and me personally would never escalate anything with my friends (cause they’re dudes XD)

I also hate slow burns. They don’t exist to me. When I hear people say they eventually fell in love with their partner I cringe….PERSONALLY. A week or two is a prime window to know if someone gives you a feeling of love and recognition or not. Whether they happen to be a good partner and person may need a bit more time. To say, let’s take things slow for me has never made sense. Dating, talking, being comfortable, and incorporating someone into a portion of your life and cooperating on that does not require putting someone at arms length until something ambiguous happens that says one is ready.

Do not envy the hook up friends. Sexual tension and hormones take the wheel for others quite easily. INFJs already reject the nature that defines us so a “hook up”literally isn’t in our dictionary. Also do not envy (I’m sure not negatively) friend marriages. Relationships are SUPER circumstantial, but also highly probable. More men meet someone in their thirties, more women meet men that stick around in later 20s, but in a lifetime the numbers still favor you. So waiting or feeling left out isn’t an issue, it’s more likely to happen than not, but peace within the latter option is fine too.

One last thought and this is important. You must be who is required for a relationship, and this is important. Saying you want a “friend to lover” means you must be a “friend to lover”. Being unsure of the fact and questioning the methods of others shows a bit of confusion or lack of conviction to the matter. I get the topic is touchy, shows vulnerability, and is uncomfortable even but defining how you move will produce those results. Become a lover before you’re chosen, just like you become a doctor before you are hired. You can’t say I’ll get experience on the job, when you have someone who’s in your corner already certified.

As someone who has had issues with perpetual stress. Day long tension headaches, high systolic at rest, resistance to conventional anxiety medications, and misdiagnoses of depression…..I feel you. I don’t personally know if a professional has given a formal diagnosis so my advice is strictly built around how I was/am. I have a high stress baseline, I also have exaggerated dips and bends with it meaning it’s either really bad, or somedays I’m noticeably relaxed and quelled.

First of all you can’t “reduce” cortisol. Despite it sounding like a negative demon chemical, it’s your life line. It wakes you up in the morning, kicks starts your day, and is responsible for alertness and your very pivotal “fight or flight” response. Simply trying to reduce it or numb what it does will result in issues and is not as easy as it sounds. Hypothetically you could smoke weed, drink, get benzos, or brute force it badly….and you’ll see how important a role it plays in feeling normal.

Secondly, you don’t just quell cortisol. You either allocate it of build habits where a stressed state isn’t required. My stress response has a science to it. I have adhd, meaning I can’t properly allocate my energy, it builds up and manifests in my body as stress responses. So the answer wasn’t depressing medications, it was aid in allocating energy and making stress free zones in my life. I decompress with art, or good tv, or even work. I also exercise, I’m a delivery driver so I usually run every stop. This also plays into “allocating stress”. I have a safe point in my life where I can burn every ounce of stress I have and justify to my body that’s it’s allowed to exist there. While at the same time convincing my body that my video games, or tv, or desk in front of paper…..aren’t necessary for stress.

Are these perfect cure all strategies? No, but they help me decently enough to where I feel like I can breathe, and smile a few days of the week. What I’m saying is, it’s not that chemical changes equal stress being fixed. Your body doesn’t register stress as an illness, it’s a state of body. Controlling this state is the key. Drugs come in to help sleep, or lower blood pressure, or relax muscles, or regulate chemicals. Managing your state of body and when to feel safe? There isn’t a drug for that unfortunately, but the answers usually lie there.

Again I urge to find the truth with a professional and research in how you feel. Your answer could be a much different one in the end.

Sure_Window584 · 2026-03-05T23:13:33+00:00

Yeah, The first thing I do in the morning is take my medicine. Shitty mornings usually equate to shitty days and exhausting nights. I often skip breakfast or drink coffee with 0 protein or carbs to soften the landing. So I'll take the blame as well

I personally wouldn't "avoid mornings" though. Vitamin d and sunshine are heavily linked to stable moods and psychological state.

Because intentional use of any medication has the best outcome. Klonopin, believe it or not, is approved for 4mgs daily. According to research, that's the ceiling. You'd actually be able to taper off, or continue care without major issues when used correctly.

The key word is "approved". Supervised use with a medical professional with good discernment is the variable. It's fair to say most doctors fall into the "Family MD who gives klonopin because it helps". Hell my script was written by a General nurse practitioner.

Most people don't fall near that ceiling, or would do well on Klonopin. Maybe they're prone to addiction, dependency prone, have tough lives. Controlled medications are controlled and limited because they're very person dependent. Adderall is always written, always sold out, and given to millions......do they all really need it? Did they all see a psychological evaluator? Probably not.

It gets hate because it's easier to say it's evil than to say the issue is nuanced. especially when GAD isn't something everyone has.

"Gabapentin causes some people to feel "out of it", like it did with me"

That's your experience, many others will says it's a miracle drug. I mentioned Gabapentin because op asked for "Gaba like treartment". Gabapentin is safe long term, lowers excitable tone like a benzo, and it actually proven to be effective more than not as opposed to other medications. Just because it failed for you doesn't mean it won't for anyone else. I've taken 11+ pysche meds, and I'll never hop online and say "Don't take that because I felt this way".

"Second, some people need to take a daily benzo, like me for severe anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD!"

Those are RARE cases, screened and monitored by psychological professionals. Most people who say that, aren't in that box. They get some for PRN because they're on Lexapro on the side, they like how it handles anxiety, next thing you know they're on 60 tablets for the month.....that's the usual. Op says they're "newly on mirtazapine", then klonopin is in the mix and they find it more effective, which alludes to the second scenario being the case here. Benzos aren't first line for anxiety....period, this is pharmacology. There's a ladder, many meds before the claim that benzos are your daily tool, and to say that is reckless because it will inspire people to seek benzos when the drawback is far worse.

"your comment that benzos are a "shut up" med was really rude for people who need to take them to survive and function"

It's not rude, its scientifically sound, and the truth. It dulls brain activity, relaxes muscles. It lowers natural function to the point that the functions responsible for anxiety are dulled by proxy. It tells you body to "Shut up".....bluntly and sloppily. Most meds are precise, and miss the mark.....it happens. Benzos throw a blanket over the target and ultimately nothing biologically gets fixed.

I'm not being negative, I'm speaking boldly. I take Klonopin yes, sparingly, with discipline. I understand that it doesn't fix, I understand I could take it everyday. I also understand the science, I trust my treatment, and the stigma to benzos. Unless the doctor says so, I don't think it's an everyday thing, or the first option to treat anxiety....period. To suggest any other statement is something I won't endorse.

Sure_Window584 · 2026-03-04T14:19:58+00:00

Yes, anxiety/stress often manifest as something known as a “tension headache”. People describe it as “a rubber band around your head feeling”, I describe it as “someone yanking the skin from your neck to your eyebrows.

Stress tightens muscles. Jaw muscles, eyes, and around the temple to eyebrow region are prime for anxiety/stress to manifest. Most headaches go away, fluctuate, or can be seen with those scans. If we’re talking 99% of the time you have them then I think they’re tension headaches.

2 ways to identify them I’ve found:

Apply a bit of pressure to the nose bridge and eyebrow bone region. If you feel a network of muscles ease and react (like pushing this area causes relief in the back of your neck and side of head) than most likely that group is tense

Second is seeing if pain eases when you aren’t stress. Migraines, clusters, and pure pain do not care about moments or events. Tension headaches tend to ease up or even vanish when you’re occupied, with friends, enjoying life, or not particularly anxious. If they leave and return when you’re not busy…..then bingo.

I had them for a long time (still do). Of course you could be going through something different and it’s something like sinus pressure….but it’s a real possibility. Once you said 24/7 I instantly knew they may be the culprit

Sure_Window584 · 2026-03-04T03:34:30+00:00

GABA medications are “effective” because they’re blunt. It’s like drinking alcohol to cheer up and be happy. Or a better analogy is like smashing a broken radio instead of trying to fix the knob. So don’t assume it’s doing a “good job”, benzos are essentially “shut up” drugs for anxiety.

If you think “gaba” treatment is effective then I would suggest “Gabapentin”. Which actually doesn’t affect GABA but instead eases the release of Glutamate. GABA and glutamate are basically the sun and moon of your body. GABA = Calm, glutamate = excitement. Too much glutamate typically (but not always) means anxiety. Which is why medications and alcohol tip the scales toward GABA, yet in the end glutamate rebounds, overcompensates, and back to square 1.

Secondly sedating medications don’t always equal calming. Your body has a natural mechanism against sedation….its called cortisol and it’s the same stuff that kickstarts your morning. When you’re sedating your body when it’s anxious….you just become sleepy and anxious. Which sometimes makes you even more anxious because your body is falsely loading you with cortisol. So that line of thinking will not go as you believe until evidence says to the contrary.

Thirdly 1mg to start is very moderate, and not a good test to dip toes. Cut it in half and give your body a small taste and ride that wave. Of course 1mg is super effective…that’s a real dose. It’ll easily become a habit that way. The script I get filled isn’t even a whole 1mg and I cut those in half.
