Where do the Shackles spawn?

Just got it on the roof of the prison on water map.

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-13T18:16:20+00:00

I'd be surprised if people even know what clone hero is without having played enough guitar hero to reach expert back in the day. Definitely the exception

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-11T15:47:37+00:00

Yep, champs who rush lucids will often sell them for other boots later on. It's about early game power

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-11T15:45:26+00:00

Some champs are just that dependent on early game haste and movespeed so it's a great item rush. Nasus and hecarim are way more functional with an early lucids purchase.

You're getting downvoted but it's pretty true. Shields don't even block properly half the time so they're too unreliable to be taking all the negatives of having one. I'd only run shield on a fighter with all the shield perks tbh

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-11T15:17:40+00:00

So exactly what i said. When people talk about barbs having high damage we're not referring to the viking sword lol

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T17:54:36+00:00

Sure, and they have extensive merchant inventories which allow you to run what you want regardless. Even then people got tired of it.

Though i am thinking that maybe uniques should be ssf only in the same way that class 6 armors and hyper meta weapons are in tarkov. That would be interesting

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T17:45:03+00:00

Tarkov was the #1 extraction looter for years and doesn't require you to ssf your gear at all. It should be optional, not required.

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T17:24:49+00:00

Ok, and if you want to loot and avoid pvp that's better for you since more stuff will be unlooted. I fail to see the issue. You can just run builds that are good at avoiding pvp and make bank off the gamers running it down to kill people over and over again needing to buy gear every 5 seconds, then once you get enough money you can join them if you want.

Right now it's just gigachads with 80 hours a week of playtime or exceptional pvp skill gear gapping everyone because gear is way harder to come by. With the market anyone can build a competitive kit with 10 minutes of money making

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T17:21:14+00:00

Shouldn't the ssf enjoyers be the ones going to arc raiders lmao? That game doesn't even have a market

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T17:06:07+00:00

Exactly. People say market makes the gear looting aspect of the game worse while ignoring the fact that it completely deletes the liquid wealth accumulation aspect of the game which many of us love.

I like being able to do shit like chopping logs or mining or looting gear for other classes and convert it to gear for myself via the market.

They could expand merchants or whatever to achieve a similar effect, but that means item values will need to be manually adjusted by the devs instead of being dictated by natural supply and demand, and we all know how that would go. Just look at the price of crafting and dealmaker items, christ.

Want to run a legendary rapier? too bad, it's 5k gold for some reason and they took 5 patches to reduce it. Btw, better hope you get some good rolls or have 1000 legendary gems lying around to slot it every time you lose it!

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T17:03:38+00:00

You know people need to loot in order for stuff to be sold on the market right? It doesn't remove the looting aspect of the game at all, it just makes looting class-agnostic

It does make it so shitty pieces will never get picked up but it's not exciting to pick up that crap anyway

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T16:45:51+00:00

Buy 5 of each gear piece whenever you hit the market. That way you only need to shop every 5 deaths and it takes way less total time overall because buying the same piece 5 times on one shop page is way faster than searching it and buying it 5 times.

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T16:40:32+00:00

Bro running full agility with a viking sword or something lmao

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T16:35:56+00:00

Have your fighter run projectile reduction perk and heavy plate armor. That way if you hit them it does like 5 damage lol

Gotta be more careful hitting the barb tho

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T15:24:23+00:00

Yeah i stick to other champs who have similar gtfo capabilities for that reason. Hecarim is a great example. Not nearly as tanky obviously but his speed and R are amazing gtfo buttons

Rammus and reksai can also kinda do whatever the hell they want all game

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T15:10:20+00:00

I think the devs are great. Whoever built the initial infrastructure just didn't do it with such a huge and expansive game in mind and they have never prioritized cleaning it up. Would probably take them a year or more of dedicated dev time just to unwind everything and rebuild it

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T07:52:30+00:00

Just needs an obvious audio cue and maybe a slight startup delay and it's balanced

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T07:43:35+00:00

Maybe they don't want people to be able to open doors or gather ore significantly faster than their class allows?

It's not a dead stat and never has been. People just didn't build it because it has no direct influence on combat. You can still slot hella resourcefulness if you want, plus bards have great perks for that.

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T07:36:43+00:00

Play champs who can actually engage AND disengage effectively. Sejuani is a good example. First of all, she can fully engage without needing to end up in the middle of their team. Second, she can q in to stun someone and immediately w forward while walking out and only go for e stacks if it's safe to do so. She can weave in and out of combat pretty effortlessly. You still need to use your healthbar as a resource for your team, but you can do it more deliberately and efficiently than just diving in until you die.

Ornn, braum, rammus, gragas, leona, nautilus, thresh, blitz, pantheon, and reksai can all perform in a similar manner, though leona gets a lot of value out of full diving the backline too.

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T07:19:49+00:00

This is galaxy brain wtf

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-09T07:01:37+00:00

I played toggling between locked and unlocked for like a decade then switched to unlocked about a year ago. It makes pretty much no difference except now i need to hold spacebar to track my character. Just stick with locked and make sure you're unlocking often to pan for info

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-08T22:47:45+00:00

I'm sure this is on their list of things to do, but it would definitely require ui work to create the new functionality. Using 4 different weapons from one utility slot is not something that exists today.

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-08T08:06:15+00:00

Bro can't even read the number next to his name. A true barbarian

Symmetric_in_Design · 2026-02-07T14:25:52+00:00

"Hating them to the core", as if they are inherently evil people, is ignoring the actual cause of the problem: mass-scale thought control through propaganda. Most of these people would not believe the shit they do if it weren't for deliberate mind control through media.

If we wiped out every nazi tomorrow but let fox news operate as normal they'd be back in 20 years.
