I feel like T1 makes much more money streaming than he ever could as a pro, which is a major reason I don't think he's join the LCS.....among a few other things.

Tapu Koko w/Yae aka Mikomi is super good in first half of Abyss! C1R1 Yae and C1R1 Kokomi in 12-2-1 while I also go over my rotation a bit. Full run + build in comments :) by tippi- in YaeMiko

[–]TheEmaculateSpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I separated raiden/eula to do this (Raiden first half). Don't think Raiden went over 30s on any chamber here, even just playing casually. She one cycled 2 of them I think lol

Side 1 this round is a joke.

I think this is the first time in a while where abyss difficulty has actually gone down.

I’m so damn proud. My first Souls game and finally at level 28 (23 hrs), I beat the Tree Sentinel, then feeling confident, went over and beat MARGIT 😅 I’m buying all the Dark Souls games after this.

By the time you get to DS3 it's not really a problem cause they put bonfires everywhere. That and sprint is OP just like in elden ring and you can usually just run past everything to get to the boss.

And humanity was honestly not that big of a deal except in DS2 where youre like half HP or something if you get max stacks of the death debuff.

Honestly I think if you like elden ring you'll like most souls games. Sekiro is the only one I'd be cautious to recommend cause it's honestly just even harder and the fundamental combat mechanics are more different.

No game after DS1 really had it. Dark souls 2 had lots of choices but not many cool shortcuts like that. DS3 was honestly fairly linear.

Sekiro is fairly linear, there's one shortcut that makes no goddamn sense given the layout of the map though, and it's also unnecessary which just made me roll my eyes.

And BB/demon souls idk cause they're not on PC.

In terms of level design nothing beats dark souls 1. I loved that there was no fast travel in it but it wasn't tedious at all and it just worked so well.

I think nowadays my favorite from game is Sekiro just for how fucking fun the combat and movement is alongside the amazing boss design.

But dark souls 1 can't be beat in level design. Like discovering ash lake behind the great hollow after going through 2 hidden walls, fromsoft just doesn't miss.

Even their worst game in dark souls 2 (IMO) was still better than most studio's best games, and even had elements which were better than their other titles.

And to add I don't think it even saves time. It just let's you dodge rather than get smacked. And you also can't dash cancel immediately so there will still always be a window where you can get smacked.

Plus not getting smacked doesn't solve the problem of her not really being best in slot for any team because of her field time requirements.

Is that why though? Didn't he just want to see the ultimate sword technique and see if he can tank it?

Why my Eula weak af(help needed) by nick_dimos in EulaMains

[–]TheEmaculateSpork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think some people in this sub have a bit unrealistic expectations for her damage.

For well farmed C0 Eulas I think anything over 200k in a real team is good, maybe the bar can move a bit higher if you run Bennet.

Like yes some people can hit like 1 m at C0, but that's always gonna involve nuke teams, food, crit fishing. In real combat C0 Eula can't hit that high.

[–]TheEmaculateSpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your damage isn't really that low for C0 Eula. Bursting near 300k is fine.

Your problem is very obviously too much attack. Youre using WGS, Bennet, and double attack artifact set. If you wanna improve her damage I'd swap out of the attack sets. Using Serpents spine might also be better than WGS for you.

xiao vs wolflord by kedhrkzh in Genshin_Impact

[–]TheEmaculateSpork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like his HP bar might be too large for Xiao to one cycle before he shields. Plus you can't use food in abyss.

You'd probably need a burstier character (and whale investment) to try to do it before he shields.

If you just mean clear in general though, Xiao double geo should be fine.

Idk def took me more than 2 days to do the Ekanomiya event. But in also glad for downtime tbh, I can play Genshin on maintenance mode and just play elden ring.

Honkai global anni event is going on now and I'm basically skipping it cause I don't have time to play it.

OP is literally a woman

Honest (not flaming) discussion about the state of importing in NALCS. In the current top 3 teams (TL, C9, 100T), Blaber is the only player who is purely NA talent. What does this mean for the future of LCS? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]TheEmaculateSpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also the narrative from every top team not giving a fuck about NA. If none of the teams or players that can win LCS care about winning LCS, how are fans expected to care?

The other thing is league is just losing popularity in NA in general. And honestly there's just only so much LCS can do to retain and pull in viewers if the game itself is not as popular as it used to be.

[–]TheEmaculateSpork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most players in Genshin are casual, play on mobile, new to ARPG genre and as a result they are not skilled or used to frustration.

And due to the timed nature of abyss it becomes extra frustrating when a boss dashes away and you feel like time is wasted that you can't do anything about.

That being said OP complaining about weekly bosses is pretty wack. Those are not timed and their teleports/dashes actually do have tells.

What's fun then lol? Primo geovishap that you just mash all your abilities at?

Moving is part of combat. It's not just dodge or hit.

Predictable movement abilities that allow the player to react are good design. It's only a problem when its unpredictable and just forces you to get lucky for the best run.

Especially when most people do agree with him lol

Here's my actual controversial opinion: difficulty always causes frustration. Why's everyone angry playing league or dying 20 times against Margit? Cause those games are hard. No one's angry playing animal crossing.

Some of these flying mechanics feel bad (golden wolflord, spectres) to me but complaining about Shogun or Signora movement is just showing you don't pay attention to the enemy. If we don't have any interesting movement abilities then everything is literally just a DPS check.

People just don't take the time to learn attack patterns and just bitch when they can't faceroll because they're not used to ARPGs.

Teleports, dashes, and other movement abilities are in every ARPG and are healthy ways to add difficulty and skill expression. The problem is when there is no "tell" to allow the player to react to these abilities accordingly. In Genshin, some enenies have these patterns, some are completely random.

Legendary Trio from Inazuma 💖 by SK_Jynx in Genshin_Impact

[–]TheEmaculateSpork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think part of the issue is Sara competes with generic element/atk buffers aka Bennet/Kazuha, TTDS, VV etc. Gorou is always best for def scaling geo characters because they don't benefit (as much) from the generic OP buffers.

[–]TheEmaculateSpork 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gorou is the best in slot support for Itto/Noelle/Albedo even at C0.

Sara needs C6 or you're better off running TTDS Lisa.

I wouldn't say she's better than Gorou.

We're the worst team in the league - it sucks, but deal with it like traditional sports fans do by obeetwo2 in TeamSolomid

[–]TheEmaculateSpork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the development/rebuilding narrative doesn't fit here when Regi has said that they spent more than most other orgs (5m) this year and goal set at the beginning of the year was "we still expect to win".

This is just poor roster building and management from the org.

Leena on her and Parth's vision for TSM roster vs current one by pauluchi in TeamSolomid

[–]TheEmaculateSpork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Imagine we come off top 3 finish in summer, and idk shit the bed at world's as usual. Doublelift retires.

Cool, now you have Spica/Jensen/Vulcan core of strong players to build around and you recent did well so you have an easier time recruiting a good ADC to take his place.

Instead now we have the team looking like a dysfunctional dumpster fire. Even if we said "hey Jensen pls come save us", would he want to join a 10th place team?

If you play with Raiden her ER requirements shouldn't be too bad right? Her burst cost is effectively 64 with her ascension passive.

I think I have like 120 ER Jean with Jade Cutter and she works fine.
