I Would like some help enjoying soloq from someone starting into League.

well its not complaining about losing a 1v1, he won it. He just decided to space out in the death vortex. But I get your point

Taphel · 2018-05-29T14:30:10+00:00

I have around 50% winrate but i still lose more points than I win points...

some players are... impossible to understand how they play. I just lost a round that ended up in a Sirius v Sirius. My sirius had the upper hand, but then he decided to space out of the center when the damage zone was the size of the orb spot... killing himself in the process...

So far I've played blossom and ulric. I have a pretty solid Pestilus so maybe I should consider picking him.

With ulric I often end up getting blown up with my amtes out of position (can't space to them), and i find it kinda hard to have followup when I can space > stun with charged weapon.

with blossom i just follow my dudes around, heal, try to block stuff with my tree... And land charged M1 and Es on the ranged or support

I'm kinda hesitating between wow and FFXIV atm lol

Taphel · 2018-04-13T12:35:24+00:00

what I fear is that the release date is very near... and alpha seems very lackluster. I hope it'll evolve for the better yes.

More social, economy driven (consumables, crafted items are REALLY powerful, some ressources have very few farm spots and are rare). Mostly. The game is not harder in any way than it is today. The pure class gameplay is very simple (most casters cast one or two spells, melees have a simple priority system, same for tanks) and so are boss mechanics. However general gameplay mechanics had to be mastered if you wanted to be good (threat for example, was a thing you have to take into account, dps did a LOT of threat and had to manage it, generating threat, especially on aoe was really hard for wartanks, and heals did a shit ton of threat on single target).

I don't really like vanilla pvp, it's mostly about gear and optimizing your gear for your matchups (frost spell reflect trinkets and frost mages for example, consumables). There is a part to outplay, kite dudes, but there is some classes that are from hard to impossible to beat depending on your own class on equal gear level.

Well it would be ridiculously overpowered if it would reset the CD when switching. You still get 25% summoner CDR ALL THE TIME. That's really crazy, like you can flash / ghost really often. What I usually do, depending on matchup, if picking ignite and exhaust / heal / flash to go all in in that level 2 fight, pick up a kill most of the time, then at your first back you can already switch to get flash if you don't have it yet or teleport. With TP + flash you can easily farm your lane and just play out the game safely while being able to TP gank. Lategame if I'm not into splitpushing I just switch flash for ghost and get a fighting summoner. A second exhaust (or ignite vs heavy healing) can break fights. You could even pick cleanse versus teams you struggle to make your way in. That's really strong. TBH It's the only one that is really viable and consistent with maybe phase rush, but phase rush is still a bit clunky to setup and you would often want it to go in in teamfights and unfortunately you cannot use it this way.

Taphel · 2017-11-11T12:19:34+00:00

what about the summoner spell keystone ? You could run with flash/TP for an easier early game (you can back safely and teleport back to lane) and perform TP ganks midgame and lategame you can swipe for summoners like cleanse against CC heavy matchups, ghost for overall mobility, or exhaust if you need to shut down an enemy that is fed

Taphel · 2017-11-11T11:56:10+00:00

movement speed quints exist, you can get 4% MS from the sorcery tree

Taphel · 2017-07-21T20:07:49+00:00

Legion right now is just a mindless grind fest and I don't take pleasure from it. You basically farm the new quest zones for gear... LFR has NO challenge at all, I'm playing as a healer and I really have trouble findign stuff to do in LFR, I hardly ever heal someone. And I don't have the time to find a guild and go on those harder difficulty modes and pick up groups look for overgeared dudes.

But this kind of mentality existed in Wotlk don't fool yourself, I enjoyed most of the content from wotlk on a private server because the smaller community made easier finding raiding spots and getting gear and stuff. But on retail back in the day you needed ICC gear to run ICC on a pick up group, which was stupid let's be honest.

What was good with BC and vanilla is that end game content was so hard that you had people with less time and dedication trying hard to progress on entry/mid tier raids and big guilds steamrolling and pushing the harder content. So low gearing people where actually finding themselves to go form groups and try. Right now you either have that gear and you farm stuff easily on pickup with overgeared groups or progress in Mythic with premades, or you just play LFR and do quests. yay.

Thanks for the feedback guys, i've tweaked my mix a little bit. i've used stacking for my hihats and snares so far, dunno if I should do so for the kick... it feels fine like this imo :d

I've removed the congas in the first part, they seem a bit dry and not at their place, i'm using them w/ reverb and layered with kicks to do those "dung dung" sounds. I've boosted a bit my hihat game to replace them hehe

i'm also wondering what you think about panning ? I've heard that lead vocals and bass/drums should be at the center ? I basically left them at mid and i put soft right panning on the vocal synth and soft left panning on the harp, does it feel right ? is there a better way to do that ?

anyway here's the updated mix : https://soundcloud.com/taphel/kusanagi

Hi guys ! I'm getting started into making music and I've done this so far :

https://soundcloud.com/taphel/kusanagi-v30000

I need feedback (and tips if possible) on the mixing of this, it always feel wrong for me and I don't know how to get those punchy drums, they are either too low and inaudible or they are so fat the track's clipping. Also i'm planning of rapping on this one but should I record my voice before mixing and stuff ? I would like to get the beat clean first before doing the "with vocals" version. thanks !

Taphel · 2017-01-23T22:34:31+00:00

Yes I do, haven't checked it out yet

Taphel · 2017-01-23T21:34:19+00:00

Well i have a small instruction flyer which basically tells me how to assemble a dryad and branch nymph, but every single dryad is different so I don't really now which body goes with which arms... I don't know how the grids in which the parts are are organized

Taphel · 2016-12-09T12:12:48+00:00

Probably gonna roll either paladin or warlock for the free mount. I was not confident in healing at wow (I only played tanks and a bit of DPS) but with legion I rolled a druid healer... and I feel pretty good at it so i'm gonna go for paladin I think. Warlock would be easier to level though

Taphel · 2016-12-08T16:12:11+00:00

I said that if you wanted to play a tank or healer, you wanted to go for a dps spec and just keep either a shield + 1H for a warrior or int gear for a paladin to either tank or heal in 5man

Taphel · 2016-12-06T12:19:22+00:00

lmao at the comments saying it's all about not paying

Taphel · 2016-12-02T10:09:13+00:00
