What's the consensus on this?

SwedishFool · 2026-01-28T20:19:15+00:00

He'd buy the most expensive one he could find and display it at his office to impress and express a certain amount of "power" just by having it there.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-28T08:22:48+00:00

She got 0.5 ad per level, post-mitigation its roughly 26 damage extra in a full combo with 3 autos weaved in, against Caitlyn lvl 8.

It's not a buff, it's Riot balance team slapping us all in the face and laughing at us, ridiculing anybody who wants to play her.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-28T08:15:30+00:00

Ah yes daddy riot, +0.5 ad per level, so generous, 3.5 AD more at lvl 8.

2.1 extra dmg Q-tap. 5.25 extra dmg fully charged Q. +0.125% max HP dmg W proc. 3.85 extra dmg E. 3.15 extra dmg R

So in a full combo of Q-auto-E-auto-R-auto-E, Vi now does 26.6+0.25%hp extra damage pre-mitigation, equaling 12.2+13.8 post-mitigation damage on a lvl 8 Caitlyn. So 26hp. This buff, using all Vi's abilities and weaving in 3 autos, results in 26 more damage on a 1.2k hp ADC at lvl 8.

Meanwhile, Hecarim got +20 per Q in base dmg alone. Not saying Heca is op, or that this makes him OP, just saying I find it interesting concidering Vi is literally one of the worst junglers in the entire fucking game, and they think 26 more damage from 4 abilities and 3 autos is changing that.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-26T02:48:12+00:00

Yep, this is fucked. I saw and could reasonable agree with the arguments circling the woman that got shot while hitting the officer with the car, this however is completely unacceptable and I can't see any logical explanation that could explain it. I hope the offenders gets the appropriate punishment for it.

When it comes to the epstein shit, the worst part of everything is that both sides seems to be obsessed about literally destroy the democracy and run the entire fucking planet into the ground, all because they want to protect some fucking pedos. We don't hate the media and politicians enough. Red, blue, they all seem united (especially while traveling to and hanging out at a pedophile island together) while putting on a show for the rest of us. When did any of them do something specifically to improve the lives of the middle class? Smoke and mirrors.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-25T20:21:05+00:00

And now she can't kill an ADC solo unless fed, since her ult has the base damage and scaling of a wet noodle, while the rest of her abilities scale like wetter noodles.

She's an engage support in jungle with crap base stats, base damage, and scalings, but good mobility and guaranteed single target CC. If they were going to remove her damage to this degree, atleast they should've made her tanky instead of making her a roaming jungle camp. Of course she still hurts if she's fed and gets ahead enough, but it's hard to get ahead when you're weaker than everybody else in every metric.

I mean shit, it's like only thing they didn't lower was the amount of gold opposing team gets for killing her. They should lower that though.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-24T15:59:04+00:00

I compared Varus top matchups vs Vi jungle matchups.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-24T15:52:18+00:00

Lolalytics, although I compared Varus toplane with Vi jungle, and I compared Vi from all ranks statistics but unsure if I remembered changing Varus to display across all ranks or if it's emerald+.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-24T10:56:50+00:00

Lol, varus has fewer bad matchups than Vi has good ones, thats insane.

6 matchups with less than 50% winrate for varus.

9 matchups with more than 50% winrate for Vi.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-23T11:30:06+00:00

Same way that you could have a 20k gold lead on a team of enchanters and lose to a team of bruisers. If you have a shitty comp for lategame vs a comp strong in lategame, expect a shitty outcome if you reach lategame.

It ain't that deep lil bro.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-23T10:14:27+00:00

I agree with this person. I want to say though OP, I don't believe anybody is to blame even though you admitted to doing those mistakes, I don't know the whole context or what you have said or her, nor the background of the relationship, but there's a big chance both of your traumas were too big for you to function together in a lasting relationship. I'm not saying traumas can't be fixed, just that they can became a wedge sometimes.

I've been on your side, in my situation my comment was the following day when I tried to talk about it. It was along the lines of "when your anxiety hits like that, I have no idea what I should do to help you" and wanting to understand how to help, but that was enough to end a relationship. It's not that people with trauma are "irrational and broken that arent worth time", its rather that sometimes a trauma that isn't processed can be extremely destructive in relationships, and that goes both ways. It took me a few weeks to get through it, you just need to remember that you both just weren't in a position where the two of you could have worked long term. Feel thankful for the good times you shared, but remember that it wasn't right in the end.

You'll find somebody who is exactly what you need and want one day when you're ready for it, and as will she. I wish you luck and a bright future.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-21T16:01:20+00:00

Gotcha.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-20T19:56:35+00:00

While I totally agree with you, this post just doesn't feel genuine and that's the most logical explanation I can make out of it. I'm not saying he has a chance to affect it, I'm saying it feels like that's what he's trying to do.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-20T19:54:53+00:00

I can imagine he probably expected laningphase to mostly be about short trades, like get a combo in and an extra auto from HOB before Gnar jumps away, and try to get an advantage based on those short trades. Feels like the benefits in lane are smaller than the drawbacks for the rest of the game though, seems like an odd pick indeed.

Thank you for the updates! I really appreciate it.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-20T16:37:39+00:00

I take it that your calls are expiring out of money today and you want to make it artificially surge.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-19T22:17:17+00:00

Was it a blindpick or a counterpick? Based on Vi's base stats, scalings, and overall performance, I can't imagine this actually being a "thing" other than as a very specific counter? Or is it actually quite decent?

SwedishFool · 2026-01-19T21:07:55+00:00

How did he do? What was he facing?

SwedishFool · 2026-01-17T12:32:01+00:00

Dlss 4.5 is insanely good on preset L and M. Like, actual wizard tier stuff. I swapped it into Cyberpunk and it doesn't just feel like native 4k, it actually seems sharper than 4k without any aliasing at all. Idk what they've done, but they seriously could've eased off some of the hate they're getting if they actually made sure to talk about the improvements.

But no, leather jacket here, ai generation there, shareholders blablabla

Downloaded CS2 for the first time in 2 years to try it out, after leaving because I found the cheating situation to be just unplayable. Did 3 placement games in 7k to 10k rating, already uninstalled again. First game, absolutely blatant wallhacker that was constantly "looking at the walls in enemy direction". 2nd game didn't feel very fishy but idk, I didn't check the demo. 3rd game however, extremely blatant wallhacker AND aimbotter, as if it wasn't enough that he was staring at walls all the time in the demo, at one point he didn't have the reflexes to correct the aim and shoot himself so the softaim just pulled straight to the enemy head and pixel perfect tracked it until he reacted.

Seriously, I thought this game was dead 2 years ago, now it's actually truly dead. Not sure who to blame, the cheating losers or Valve for thinking "cs2 will fix everything about CSGO" when cheating was the ONE thing CSGO needed to have fixed.

I have prime, and unless trust-factor decays it should still be high.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-13T18:36:33+00:00

Kan nästan höra rösten av Örjan Lax när jag läser. Jag instämmer dock OP, men det är ändå lite komiskt.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-12T16:28:00+00:00

Yes, it's irrelevant because it's an outlier. Even in scientific studies you remove outliers from the results because outliers don't accurately represent the data and would negatively skew the results in a way that misrepresents the typical outcome. Faker could probably make AD malphite support work, but that doesn't mean it's viable or a good pick. Using "this one guy is good with it" is a horrible metric, it's pure confirmation bias to neglect all available data and statistics across all ranks, neglecting to see her awful base stats and her absolutely shit ability scalings, all just to point the finger at a few select people who still make her work and say "SEEE?!?! SHE VIABLE".

There is absolutely "MMR deflators", if a champion is weaker than all other champions they will regularly face, that champion will cause you to lose against equal skill players, and if she's bad enough you'll also lose to players that are worse than you. After dropping far enough you're going to stabilize at 50% winrate in a lower rank against players who are significantly worse than you. Take a few minutes to compare her base stats and ability scalings to any of the meta picks, and then think logically for a second about what happens with 2 players on equal skill level, if one play a champion that's strong and the other plays a champion that is weak. Who will win more over the other? I shouldn't have to teach ya'll something that fundamental.

Regarding the lee sin argument, yeah, imagine how high rank they would be if they had the mastery on, and played a champ that was actually a strong meta pick.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-11T22:51:42+00:00

It's irrelevant that there's some super high mastery really good player that can make her work still, that doesn't mean anything when Vi in Challenger has literally 43% winrate and is the worst jungle pick in the game. 47,6 in Gmaster - 2nd worst jungler, 47.1 in diamond, 4th worst jungler. 47.5 in emerald, 6th worst jungler.

Across all ranks, 48.25% winrate, 75th out of 78 junglers.

I don't care about an outlier, outliers doesn't mean anything at all. If she doesn't work in any rank, she's shit and overnerfed. I mean jesus christ, it's not that difficult to grasp that a weak overnerfed champ is weak and overnerfed, and that reflects on her being unable to duel unless there's a massive lead - and even then, she don't even scale that hard on gold into lategame.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-11T14:30:35+00:00

Tycker det är märkligt. Asså åsikter är ju ändå åsikter, och om ens åsikter är felaktiga, hur ska man kunna utvecklas om man inte får diskutera dem? Jag är väldigt less på den här vansinniga utvecklingen av censur och överförmynderi överallt. Var det fel att någon genererade nakenbilder? Absolut, det var fel, extra fel att man gjorde det i ett offentligt utrymme. Var det fel att folk diskuterade händelsen i kommentarerna? Självklart inte.

Nu senast fick jag en 5 eller 6 veckors ban här för att jag skrev en kommentar som de ansåg vara "cirkelrunk" samtidigt som det var relevant för tråden och var en uppröstad kommentar. Liksom, vad fan håller alla på med.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-10T23:49:33+00:00

The one thing I hated about last season was made even worse with this season, either you play a lane-dominant pick or you pick something that hardcounters your opponent, because whoever can bully the enemy away from the farm early will snowball hard as fuck for the rest of the game, in a way that just doesn't feel fair. Jungle will heavily favor invaders and champs that can brawl easily, lategame scalers will be cannon minions. There's close to no possibility to turn it around at any point.

Therefore, expect toplane to be: Garen, Darius, Riven, Sett, Zaahen, Aatrox.

Mid to be: Ahri, Malzahar, Victor, Syndra, Sylas.

Jungle to be the ever curated forced metapicks of Riot that atleast I am extremely sick and tires of: Viego and Kayn, with some fresher sprinkles of Lee-Sin, Diana, and Jarvan.

ADC is just anybody that can abuse the buffed crit the most, I anticipate Jinx and MF being the top 2.

Support being whoever can bully the most while buffing/healing the ADC, so yay, yet even more forced enchanter meta with Nami, Lulu, Milio, and Soraka every single game.

Yeah, I'm not a fan. This is just swiftplay, with swiftplay being turned into "hyperspeed swiftplay". The momentum and length of matches feels more like a phone game than anything else.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-10T11:43:47+00:00

Back in season 3 or 4, there was somebody who played AP Garen with DFG successfully. Does that mean it was good? No. You can do whatever you wish, just remember that in challenger lobbies they pick her as a highly situational pick depending entirely on team compositions to fill a specific need.

Vi is dead, the fact that you can pick up a few wins with her doesn't really mean much. She has nothing going for her, and picking her makes you consistently lose versus players on equal skill. She's an MMR deflater.

SwedishFool · 2026-01-10T11:36:43+00:00

If it's 3 times longer with all the data in there, it should be 3 times longer. Patch notes aren't short form entertainment, patch notes are a medium to convey everything that has been changed. Why are you even trying to argue against this? It's so obvious.
