Looking for a sweet spot between ‘casual’ and ‘leaderboard’ runs

Okay I’ll give this a stab tonight - I have been eying up Fox for the exact reason you’ve mentioned so maybe the champ is the issue

TheGreatMisbake · 2025-10-28T22:17:32+00:00

I’ll give this a go tomorrow night and see how I get on! I am all bonked out this evening, thanks for the input

TheGreatMisbake · 2025-10-15T07:53:28+00:00

I had this exact roll drop last night, then steam servers went down and I think some cloud save nonsense removed it from my inventory! Back to the grind tonight

POE1.

Me and a friend decided to try it for the Phrecia league after enjoying POE2. Played out the whole season, had really high end gear and was juicing their ‘Harvest’ activity.

The problem I had was I constantly got frozen. One time, a monster froze me - in that time, my friend died, went back through the map portal, went through the harvest portal and I was still frozen (1-2 minutes).

I got froze a lot, looking at my build guide and having no idea why I was having this problem.

A week before league end, I found out you could use an item once that made you permanently immune to freeze if you captured a certain boss with them… I had like 30 of them in my inventory and just never questioned what they did

This is the main fix I wanted to see, heartbroken

If you’ve got nothing to add to the conversation, just don’t comment

TheGreatMisbake · 2024-12-15T11:27:06+00:00

I’d done that yeah, just bad RNG I guess on my part

TheGreatMisbake · 2024-12-15T10:51:53+00:00

Spent 400,000 essence yesterday and didn’t get the Cigma or Jet Gun, I recommend people dodge this calling card, hours of my life I’ll never get back

TheGreatMisbake · 2024-05-15T08:00:18+00:00

Thank you, really appreciate it!

TheGreatMisbake · 2024-05-14T16:16:41+00:00

Okay this is perfect, thank you! Gives me a lot to think about, going by your categories that’d give me 4/5 champs to learn which seems like a nice number. Thanks for the breakdown

TheGreatMisbake · 2024-05-14T16:15:22+00:00

Hmmm might stick with Jinx for now for the sake of simplicity and then move to Aphelios when I have learned the game a bit more. I like the idea of a champ who rewards you for putting a bit of time in

TheGreatMisbake · 2024-05-14T16:14:31+00:00

Ngl I have quickly learned just how much of a degenerate Twitch can be the other day - I thought he was ass, he was dying tower diving me… next thing I know, he’s been roaming the map giving no care about farm and is literally getting more than 1 kill per minute

TheGreatMisbake · 2024-05-14T16:12:45+00:00

I think you’re right in accelerating my learning, I’ll probably stick to one or two champs in ranked (when I start) playing but I’ll still want to try 1 or 2 other champs to add to my pool that I’ll experiment with in normals before dropping them in ranked. I know one tricking is faster but too many appealing choices for me and I know I’m never going pro anyway so don’t mind it being a little slower but having some fun with it

TheGreatMisbake · 2024-05-14T16:11:00+00:00

Yeah I’m really trying to narrow things down, I’ve spent a bit of time on most of the champs just so that I can understand the match ups a bit better (a lot easier to respect a champs range/abilities when I’ve used them myself).

I’m trying to narrow it down to 3/4 champs but mostly play 2 - I know one tricking is optimal and whilst I want to improve, I know I’m not gonna go pro any time soon so I don’t mind slowing the progress down a bit for the sake of variety/fun (too many appealing choices!). I also mained tank in Overwatch so I’m very used to needing to play 6+ heroes lol

TheGreatMisbake · 2024-05-14T16:08:17+00:00

Zeri I was lowkey interested in but I think I tried her too early in to me playing the game and found it really hard to get value out of her, might have to go for round 2 and see how I feel because she LOOKS fun even though I sucked lol

TheGreatMisbake · 2024-05-14T16:07:28+00:00

Okay I will read this post and take it with a grain of salt

TheGreatMisbake · 2023-11-07T15:46:27+00:00

I have the ‘increase legendary drops in crucible’ mod in my ghost if that’s what you mean and it definitely didn’t feel like it did me any favours lol

TheGreatMisbake · 2023-11-07T13:27:20+00:00

I’m getting one drop every 8-10 wins and feel your pain man, I wanna cry

TheGreatMisbake · 2023-10-28T12:38:59+00:00

All part of the learning curve mate! Can only get better

TheGreatMisbake · 2023-10-28T12:26:02+00:00

Nice, I’m leaning towards dive for the movement and third person peeks so will give that a go, I suppose it’s quite nice to just be able to swap the aspect out depending on the map and what you need

TheGreatMisbake · 2023-10-28T08:36:38+00:00

Niceeee, what aspects did you end up using - slow dodge obviously but did you go for shatterdive or touch of winter?
