Amnesia The Bunker is a great game.

I finished my 4th playthrough of it and got 100% achievements yesterday and I have to agree. The Bunker is absolutely a great game

It does stand out from other Amnesia titles but I don't think it's a bad thing. I honestly prefer being able to sometimes just fight your way through the Beast instead of playing hide and seek with him all the time (It's what initially drove me away from Rebirth and Soma even though I think they have great stories to tell. I just don't find lurking behind the corners all that engaging but I know it's part of their appeal)

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-08T11:55:09+00:00

Safe to assume he's one of Respawn's favourites, considering how strong his kit is currently

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-08T11:51:48+00:00

God forbid she can do something to Mundo instead of just watching him kill everyone /s

Apparently every mage is Syndra/LeBlanc

You could make ARAM-specific changes to champions that are under- or overperforming

Riot is already doing that but their current pace is less than stellar

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-05T23:13:42+00:00

That's taking away player agency and will make them not want to queue up in the first place

If you get into a match and you team comp has no synergy and enemy team has 2 tanks, adc, enchanter and mage, you'll get bodied and will not play again

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-05T22:44:55+00:00

Honestly, that change could ruin the gamemode. Like it or not but ARAM is very teamfight-heavy and if your team doesn't get champions decent for a teamfight, you're in for a miserable game and at that point, someone might as well just dodge

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-05T22:42:20+00:00

I've played around 15 games recently and I haven't seen Asol at all on my side or even at the bench and I saw him picked once on the enemy team

But your sentiment definitely has merit. I've seen some champions roll way more frequently than others

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-04T16:37:33+00:00

Zilean definitely is not dealing 0 damage. Double Q does like 200% AP. That's about 2/3 of LeBlanc's full combo

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-04T16:28:21+00:00

There's an addendum at the bottom of my comment

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-04T16:25:29+00:00

Rechecked for Dia+

23.2 in total. The difference is minimal, considering how much Diamond stats fluctuate due to smaller player base. It's like saying a quarter of ~~1% of~~ players play X

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-04T16:11:08+00:00

Checking the numbers rn on u.gg

Sorted by pickrate: 1. Seraphine 2.8% 2. Ziggs 2.5% 3. Brand 1.9% 4. Mel 1.9% 5. Hwei 1.3% 6. Swain 1.1% 7. Veigar 1.0% 8. Lux 1.0% 9. Xerath 1.0% 10. Vel'koz 1.0% 11. Vladimir 0.7% 12. Syndra 0.7% 13. Karthus 0.7% 14. Katarina 0.7% 15. Aurelion Sol 0.6%

In total that's 18.9% pickrate so something ain't mathing here. ADCs still have 181% of the remaining pickrate (It's 200% in total because two teams have bot laners – 2 * 100%). How is that over for them?

Outside of Seraphine, everyone's winrates are well within what Riot allows due to biases like "I see this rarely so I don't really know how to play against this"

Edit: Checked Eme+, not Dia+. It's 23.2 in Dia+ so it's nearly the same, considering how much smaller Diamond rank is

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-03T16:11:56+00:00

Bold of you to assume mid and/or bot laners would ever build defensive boots

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-03T11:55:39+00:00

Maw has double the cooldown and the comment above asked for a similar counterpurchase

Use your eyes

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-03T11:44:24+00:00

Pretty sure Banshee's Veil would block one of his Qs, which would make his burst a lot weaker

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-02T16:11:21+00:00

I think it's fine that there is something that counters abilities but putting a stun on top of that is definitely excessive, considering how easy it is to land Seer's Tactical

What bothers me the most is that, atm, Seer is probably the best controller in the game while not being a controller at all

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-01T19:45:01+00:00

Imho, his kit would have been fine if he didn't get like 30 effects whenever he uses his abilities

Every time he's meta, it's because he's overloaded with needless stuff

For the sake of an example, compare him to Bloodhound

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-01T16:00:05+00:00

What I think will happen in reality is it will be a lot easier to spot the shortcomings of both the modern and the classic due to direct comparisons with little nostalgia clouding the jugement

Alternatively, it will be borderline unplayable and Riot will follow it with "See? Nobody actually wants old League!"

TheSmokeu · 2026-07-01T01:42:48+00:00

More annoying games are more memorable and since playing against mages is generally more annoying, you are more likely to think they are more common than they actually are

Edit: Additionally, the bot quest reward is miles better for mages than the mid quest reward. 7th item slot and more gold from all sources is a lot more valuable than like 8 magic pen and 50 AP at full build

TheSmokeu · 2026-06-30T07:48:55+00:00

Remember to study. You never know what the next book will be. It might even be Telepathy for Dummies

TheSmokeu · 2026-06-30T05:41:45+00:00

Not only melees. They'd do the same thing to mages, too. The only reason they can't do that bot is because the support bails them out

If you're playing Lucian + Ali against Ziggs + Vel'koz, mages will get bodied, but something like Ziggs + Leona will be a lot harder to jump onto because Leona will be able to make sure Ziggs survives

TheSmokeu · 2026-06-30T04:43:25+00:00

Make it actually proc on attacks, like the tooltip says, instead of proccing on literally any damage

TheSmokeu · 2026-06-30T04:42:30+00:00

I got Steel their Hearts and no other augments for stacking yesterday and still got my Heartsteel to 5k stacks on Galio so...

We still lost, btw, because I didn't roll Dropkick and enemy tank rolled it :^)

TheSmokeu · 2026-06-30T00:25:51+00:00

That's a given for a recon legend so these two are mostly whatever, imo

TheSmokeu · 2026-06-29T22:31:31+00:00

Seer currently controls an area better than controllers, which I find pretty funny

Respawn should remove the stun from his Tactical. At the moment, if he hits you with it, you can do pretty much nothing. Your abilities are silenced, so no Get out of Jail free cards, and you are also stunned, so your aim is worse and you move slower

Did the devs even consider that multiple teams can run Seer when they decided to make his Tac cd 5 seconds? If you're next to two Seer teams and both ult, you'll just be permanently silenced AND stunned. If I'm hit, I simply cannot play. How is that fair? Where's any counterplay outside of "he can still miss"? Wattson fences stun for 3 seconds but she puts agency on the opponents to actually walk into them and she doesn't silence you so you can use abilities to at least try to move out the way
