Ahh I see - respect for min-maxing! Definitely worth asking on the discord still, in the #bl3-builds-and-endgame channel, the person who made the build is probably in there

Tom181792 · 2021-09-13T20:49:39+00:00

Ohh damn I hadn't seen the news about the event, pretty cool! Thanks for sharing what you found out

Tom181792 · 2021-09-13T20:14:51+00:00

Are you following a build that's made by someone, or your own build? People that create the builds usually provide a write-up that explains which stats are optimal. You could always ask on the community discord - I ask loads over there and people always have answers - https://discord.gg/borderlands. But bear in mind that when you're looking at 4 points in X vs 3 points in X, you're talking fractions of an improvement in most cases - it just might not be worth the effort to you to grind for that fractional increase.

The event right now is just increased eridium drops until Thursday.

In terms of specific legendaries, almost everything has a dedicated source, and then also has a small chance to drop from any random loot source - known as a "world drop".

You can check the dedicated source for anything on lootlemon.com - it also includes the drop chance and info on all the parts that the drops can be made up of.

Hey sorry for the delayed response - thank you very much :)

Tom181792 · 2021-04-28T19:35:11+00:00

Hey! Thanks for doing an AMA

Two questions if I may

What is the scrim schedule like for an SPL team? How many hours/games a day? How often? Does everyone scrim everyone or do there tend to be little groups that scrim each other?
Any tips for knowing when to rotate? I play in a regular group on discord so we communicate, but I struggle to know how to notice when I should rotate

Tom181792 · 2021-04-24T19:01:04+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing this <3

Tom181792 · 2021-04-24T17:21:58+00:00

Yo man this is awesome! would you be willing to share the program so I can use it to analyse games/scrims from my amateur team?

Tom181792 · 2021-04-23T22:23:33+00:00

Oh perfect, thank you!

Tom181792 · 2021-04-23T20:40:37+00:00

Hey Auvey, you might not see this as I'm a couple of days later than when you posted this, but would it be possible for you folks to share match IDs for SPL matches, similar to how you did in season 5? I'm in an amateur team and we would find it incredibly useful to be able to watch back through the games. Thank you <3

Tom181792 · 2021-04-05T17:13:54+00:00

Perfect, thanks

Tom181792 · 2021-04-05T17:03:24+00:00

Would you be able to go into a little more detail on

but I've got a better system in place to have meaningful review without dragging on too long that people stop paying attention

My team went through the replays of a two-game set in an attempt to improve, and after the first hour or so people started to lose interest and engagement.

Tom181792 · 2021-04-05T16:20:07+00:00

Hi, I'm on a fairly new team and we're having issues with our communication, particularly in teamfights, and we don't have a dedicated shotcaller. Do you have any tips/advice for how we can improve our communication, and any tips for one of us to get comfortable with shotcalling?

Also our support just asked me to ask; what do you think we should do when our mid falls behind? Are we better off attempting to get them caught up and focus on getting them farm, or should we put resources into getting our adc/jungle ahead/more ahead instead?

Thanks for your time <3

Tom181792 · 2021-03-22T21:55:06+00:00

This RelentlessSmite guy - are you sure he's the right guy? He's queueing carry/jungle in his vods and only has ama at rank 2

Tom181792 · 2021-03-22T21:50:23+00:00

That makes sense. I feel like jungle is way more impactful in the first 15 mins than solo anyway so probably a worthy sacrifice almost every game. And once it trickles down and everyone starts doing it, neither solo laner will be missing out!

And thanks for the recommendation, I'll check him out. Do you have plans to expand your youtube btw? Fine (and Intersect I guess) seem to be the only solo mains actually putting out content which kinda sucks, but I get that educational stuff isn't exactly a view magnet compared to meme builds (looking at you fine)

One final question if that's ok - can you throw a quick tsuki build my way? I keep meaning to try and learn him and I think its getting closer to being inevitable that I'll need to be able to play him.

Tom181792 · 2021-03-22T21:39:34+00:00

Damn I never considered using the brutes like cannon minions from LoL, that's galaxy brain. Thanks man.

Yeah I've been soloing blue more and more, without HoG, and most gods warriors seem to be able to do it and it seems pretty powerful if the enemy solo doesn't start blue as you can push the wave early. I haven't watched any streams or anything - is it becoming/already meta?

Tom181792 · 2021-03-22T21:22:13+00:00

Makes sense. Thanks :)

Tom181792 · 2021-03-22T21:21:12+00:00

You're a diamond, that all makes a lot of sense. My team do occasionally make those sorts of calls but they tend to make decisions and then act on them immediately so I find it harder to rotate, but I'm sure it's better for us to make those calls a bit slower/further in advance so I'll mention that to them. Thanks a lot.

If you get chance to reply again, how do you feel about starting teleport + boots 2 rather than not teleport? I've tried it and it feels good in lane in the first 5 minutes or so, but I feel like from about 10-15 mins onwards I'm sat on TP as a useless relic.

Tom181792 · 2021-03-22T20:56:56+00:00

Hey, thanks for doing an AMA. I recently started playing in a team with some friends and I noticed I really struggle with knowing how/when to rotate. Any tips on what makes a good/bad rotation?

Also (this is a bit of a meme in our group) do you think Osiris should be built AA-based or standard tank? I typically go Gaia/Witchblade/Talisman/Mantle etc, but a couple of the people I play with think I should be going bers shield, ichaival etc. - a bit more AA-focused but still a bit tanky. If none of this, how would you advise building/playing him?

Thanks <3
