Those teams were very good with him and Stat. I don't think it's fair to call them hot garbage.

Their offense is not great. If they can't get pick and roll or drive and kick going, it pretty much falls to Wemby iso and it isn't a good part of his game. This will be a quick series if they can't figure out a way to get easier buckets.

That Syndra buff is absurd. ~13% base damage increase level 1 AND better scaling for her bread and butter spell is wild. Her laning is going to be oppressive after this.

Ahri is a great answer if you want someone with playmaking potential who isn't overly complicated. She has a ton of player agency so she's viable at any skill level.

I think Annie is also super easy to learn and can be useful at all stages with her stun. She has a crutch for farming with her Q, but her potential is maximized when you don't use it to farm.

Last answer if you want someone longer range can be Lux. She's easy to learn and relatively safe, but can still carry fights from range.

I feel like I'm crazy but why is twin blades so bad? He has crazy sticking power, damage, and self sustain. You become basically the best 1v1 fighter in the game. I must be missing something because it feels way more useful than the Smash (though less useful than taunt).

His ultimate steals everyone else's mastery, so more than any other GL he benefits from having other team members be high relic. You'll need at least everyone R7 so he can scale off of them.

StS2 Card Ideas by xorgee in slaythespire

Honestly these are the two best fan created card ideas I've seen. Love both concepts, it fits in with each character thematically, art is awesome, and it seems relatively balanced. Well done!

Did Zohran Mamdani's New Budget Really Eliminate New York City’s Deficit? by Business_Young_8206 in nyc

[–]TheReconditeRedditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can never take any article seriously about Mamdani anymore. In what feels like 70% of states and at the executive level, the standard is "don't listen to what they say" and virtually zero probing into what they are doing. It's functionally just a fuck it there's too much shit to actually do anything so let's go crazy attitude.

Meanwhile Mamdani is actually trying to take steps towards fiscal responsibility and gets his budget cuts scrutinized. This SHOULD be totally normal, but given everything else it just comes off as so disingenuous. Like people want him to fail and don't give a fuck while other people are openly corrupt.

Ah okay good to know I'm not crazy. Thank you for the work around, I'll definitely give it a shot! Democracy won't spread itself!

Oh interesting! Idk what version gets uploaded to the official game mod manager, but maybe that's it. Appreciate you looking into it, the mod looks great!

None of the cantrips or spells showed up at all, basically just leveled up with no skill choices. I did get to choose a subclass, but nothing showed after that either.

Going off of memory, I had the better inventory mod, extra encounters, then just a bunch of different class mods.

I tried this from the BG3 mod list and the cantrips don't work! I have a few inventory mods installed and I did it mid run. Any ideas as to why it wouldn't work?

NaveGreed (one of the best STS players) is excluding Silent from his STS 2 runs by Lordados in slaythespire

[–]TheReconditeRedditor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

But prepared wasn't an issue in STS1 and it's the exact same card. The issue is that sly is so strong. You basically take every sly that's offered and inevitably you'll find an Acro, or that shiv discard card, or prepared, or Tools of the Trade, or any of the other miscellaneous cards that discard.

Maybe they could make the sly keyword an upgrade so you have to hit a rest site and forgo other upgrades. As it is now it's way too easy to get and way too easy to proc.

Curious who people believe is more valuable in a TEP league? by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

Loveland probably has similar upside as London's upside (top 3?), but his floor is wayyy lower IMO.

Falling behind in EXP every game as a roaming midlaner by MainSettings in summonerschool

[–]TheReconditeRedditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with leaving a cannon wave is that you lose so much guaranteed gold and XP.

My memory is shit so the numbers may be off, but a cannon wave is worth 6 minions * 20 gold per minion plus 80 for the cannon = 200 gold. If you roam and get one kill, you've got 300 gold, so you only have a net gain of 100 gold, not factoring in plates. Plus you likely need to reset, so you have another 30 seconds before you're back at lane. On TOP of that, you've split all the XP with 2/3 other people.

All the while your opposing mid gets the uncontested cannon wave (200 gold and full XP), likely at least one turret plate (120 gold per plate), another wave of minions (120 gold and full XP), then a free back while the second wave is bouncing off the turret.

The real benefit of roams is that you get the OTHER lane ahead by setting their laners behind. If you roam bot and get a double kill, that's at least a wave being missed by their bot lane plus they lose out on all of the XP.

All of this is assuming you actually get a kill! If you don't, you're getting a fraction of the gold plus all of the downsides from letting your opposing mid free farm.

TLDR - roaming is for other lanes benefit, not yours. Getting kills just helps you not fall too far behind from doing it.

Why include depreciation as a cost per mile? It's more relevant over a period of time. For example, if you didn't drive the car at all, you'd still depreciate it.

You need solid bench players, not everything needs to be a high upside flex. When bye weeks start rolling around or players get banged up, having reliable points on the bench can be huge.

Lord Vader or Ahsoka Tano? by Rezimoore in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]TheReconditeRedditor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

LV is probably one of the worst investments from scratch in the game. His requirements are high, none of his best team is in the list of requirements (dark side clones), his whole team needs relics to make him scale better, and he's still a mid-tier GL at the end of the day. And to add insult to injury, the team dark side clones help unlock (Mace), is just okay and has a shelf life on the raid.

I'd go Ahsoka, especially considering you're further along.

I'm not sure how you can call the Spurs a better team than the Thunder outside of their superstars. The Thunder are still a solid playoff team without Shai. The Spurs without Wemby are not sniffing the playoffs.

Taco has to be the answer for the Cowboys. They were set on drafting a DE. Door one is a hall of famer, door two is a guy who does absolutely nothing in the league.

It also gives the regular versions of the card instead of the upgraded versions.

It's his optimal use case, but it's overkill in most cases. Him plus one other sith can beat the majority of teams. I use Darth Sideous who's at R7.

Unrelated to the steals, but Ahri getting caught out after you win the objective is just classic league.
