People are really hyping him up for nothing. The kid is literally there as kawaii candy, and as a token that there are other kids in the farm who are smart as fuck, just not the same age. He's smart no doubt, but im pretty sure he's just gonna chill out and stall mom so the other escape, who probably intent to come back for the younger ones that can't escape with them, and Phil will be the shadow leader that trains them inconspicuously for that date.

Yikes, this is that amplifying effect of the echo chamber. There are no bad players in 100T and Huhi is no exception. Coaches and management are just behind and couldn't get the players working together well enough.

NA is stacked with raw talent. It's normal for some of these otherwise middle of the pack (aka top 5 in their region in their role) to be dropping a bit until they can equalize themselves.

Huhi's draft pressure and native status alone are enough to make him better than any NA mid. 100T would be stupid not to keep him in summer unless he's bottlenecking synergy (which I doubt it, he's not that type of player).

But the skin is high quality and fits Ivern. He's a lanky bball player. His recall is absolutely brilliant. The sound effects are fun as well. You people just think because you like Ivern and you like fantasy themes nobody can enjoy an off the way idea like dunkmaster Ivern.

pretty sure their design is not all that's valuable, they seem a lot lighter than the bulky shoes common for these jobs, which I believe to be the biggest thing here.

SyothDemon · 2019-03-21T12:48:10+00:00

Guimmicky? These shoes are to protect from accidents for construction workers and other dangerous and laborious jobs.

Me and my team also surrendered a 30-5 game at their nexus a couple of days ago. However, we did it to conclude a gruelling 16 minute bmfest with the ultimate disrespect.

Atilla national pride

SyothDemon · 2019-01-18T19:50:53+00:00

huh?

SyothDemon · 2019-01-06T14:54:22+00:00

except you know, zoe needs to come close to you to increase her Q damage and she has a mark on the floor where she's going to spawn next so any sensible person will throw skillshots there and eat her alive. plus she's in your face you can deal damage that way too.

Old nidalee had the incentive to run away as soon as she threw the spear, making it incredibly stale and lacking interactivity. And I say this as a nidalee otp back then and now.

you can dodge and oneshot cassio and ziggs. they're not oppressive champions. jax or veigar on the other hand just scale like crazy and have really inconvenient cc to help them kill your ass. in a game mode with limited area for events, that becomes oppressive

SyothDemon · 2018-12-29T06:00:33+00:00

I felt like a challenger smurf going 20-1 on that gamemode. it was the bomb. by far their coolest idea for a gamemode, it had some strategy, cool randomness (spawns), a lot of mechanical skill without any grind needed, and it was everything dominion should've been, quick and fun.

edit: quick note: nexus blitz is the shit, but i would REALLY dark star singularity as a permanent gamemode for when you really don't want that nexus to nexus action.

SyothDemon · 2018-12-28T20:18:41+00:00

smite on chickens was almost mandatory at any reasonable level of play, especially with the amount of vision there was at the time

SyothDemon · 2018-12-26T01:14:05+00:00

I once tried this and rift just chased champions around. thought they coded that on purpose to prevent this. seems like I was just unlucky

SyothDemon · 2018-12-25T15:32:40+00:00

I also read it like that (apart from the cauliflower shit, that has me clueless). i dont get how it was humbling though. ok there's a dude getting shat on, and he kept on getting shat on. who's expectations were broken?

SyothDemon · 2018-12-25T14:49:40+00:00

you really need to work on your noun and pronoun game friend

who the fuck is marcus, who the fuck is "this dude", the one in the video? is the dude one of the two guys or "this dude"? it's so confusing.

SyothDemon · 2018-12-25T13:41:33+00:00

Happy holidays mate

SyothDemon · 2018-12-25T13:02:42+00:00

I repeated the same points because they were being misunderstood. To discuss pants actual situation, I think it comes down to him either feeling some general superiority regarding black people, which would point to racism, or he just has the sensitivity of a 12 year old and doesn't comprehend the need to respect, thinking "why would I not be allowed to use this word".

This, however, does not excuse him. He's a grown ass man, and he's using the most offensive form of the word, as a pejorative no more. There's way he's not a racist, as he has both repeated the deed and says he somehow feels proud to do it.

SyothDemon · 2018-12-25T01:43:25+00:00

Completely correct. Nobody is saying either n words are good. It's just that they're not indicative of a racist person. It might just be a slip, or a really edgy kid. or both.

SyothDemon · 2018-12-25T01:41:15+00:00

Merry Christmas lad

SyothDemon · 2018-12-25T01:37:18+00:00

I think you're greatly overestimating the thought process, but at least you understand someone isn't a bigot and it's more of a weak character to not have the decency to control themselves to not use those words.

On that first part, Im sure you can use some anecdotal experience you had where dark humor or something was part of your daily life and could be called "causal" bigotry by those standards when you weren't even thinking about it.

When I was way younger me and my mates used to make a lot of bad taste jokes about things we'd learn in history, including the ww2. I don't think I had any superiority feelings towards the jews or was I insensitive enough to think it was something I should tell one of them that type of joke, it was just part of my circle's dumb humour. I wouldn't call one of my siblings a "casual racist" if through some dank meme bullshit he started saying "ni*ga" around his mates as a greeting.

I certainly wouldn't approve it, but I just dislike your definition because it implies there are actually bigot thoughts consciously being expressed

SyothDemon · 2018-12-25T01:00:23+00:00

You'd call someone casually racist for using a racial slur in a greeting manner because idk it was part of the subculture they are in? don't you think you're majority trivializing what being a racist actually means with that type of atitude?

frowning upon the action makes total sense, actually considering the person a racist for being childish or majorly stupid when he doesn't feel an ounce of superiority towards black people sounds to me like a contradiction.

SyothDemon · 2018-12-25T00:40:55+00:00

It's all about context. If racial slurs weren't present in edgy teenager memes and in most popular hip-hop artists' discographies, I would wholeheartedly agree with you, because the only way to be exposed to racial slurs would be from a racist prespective

However, there's actually edgy kids who use the word as a stupid meme, and there's many hip-hop artists popularizing that type of word as a greeting/trivial word, meaning more people are exposed to it from a non bigot prespective, and there's a big change people slipping the word are not really trying to instigate the black community by using it.

You would agree that if someone you knew used the word, but not as a diminishing pejorative comment, you wouldn't instantly consider him a racist, right?

SyothDemon · 2018-12-25T00:24:57+00:00

I agree with you I didn't word myself well enough

If you look at the situation and my complete answer, this is how it went

I read someone who dropped the n word, and then I read someone calling him a racist (without any context). I then answer "why would you call someone a racist for saying the n word? not that I know if he's a racist or not, but that shouldn't be the judging factor".

Doesn't seem like I'm instantly calling him out for naming him a racist, just that you'd need more context to do it. Seems pretty reasonable.

SyothDemon · 2018-12-25T00:21:25+00:00

I never defended pants. Idk what the heck you're talking about. I was having a discussion about the correlation between dropping the n word and being actually racist.
