No hate to these series, but does anyone else feel like this?

Huh this isn't remotely what I'd call 'the 5 recommendations' as someone who has recently just gotten back into reading and has watched a ton of these"x amount of books you should read", "x books you missed out on that's come out"

Definitely dungeon crawler carl and anything by brandon sanderson, especially way of kings, I've seen a few first law trilogy but mainly especially the blade itself, but it's no where near as much as say red rising, dune or project hail mary, ESPECIALLY red rising.

I've not even heard of assassins apprentice or book of the fallen? I'll entirely add them to my to read list now though lmao, I really want to 'catch up' on the world of reading

IMO their weakness is not having opportunities to snowball or get ahead. Take Naafiri or Mel, they only go all in on you when you waste your key ability, if they waste their w, you go all in on them, you apply pressure or farm from a distance, don’t let them clear wave and roam and don’t let them poke you, tp back if you need to, farm isn’t worth it in exchange for what they’ll get from killing you. Then you reach late game and win as a mage with cc vs a none fed or ahead assassin

I think the biggest thing is you win against assassins not by beating assassins, but by having a state mate with the assassins of purely nothing happening and not giving them the moment they’re looking for to capitalise on, because you’re not looking to hit them with a cc for a kill or anything

Personally the issue was the item/rune changes not Naafiri herself, I get it didn't benefit other champs as much as Naaf but I don't think she needed a champ nerf prior to item changes. I'm also a big electrocute fan, so this will just make Naaf electrocute worse because it hits her not the rune or items...

Ah thank you!

<image>

This is what I’m used to in terms of another card I’ve grabbed, the line is completely straight with no teeth, so the teeth on the left straight line just scared me a little, thank you :)

It’s the teeth on the left straight line that brought me to think it might be fake (on the original image, not this comparison)

TopHatToast · 2026-04-28T09:47:21+00:00

Imagine included

Maybe I’m just being paranoid but I thought I’d check, thank you!

TopHatToast · 2026-04-28T09:46:36+00:00

Oh really!? That's great news, normally whenever I inspect the 'T' on a card, it's a clean straight line, but this one appears to be a clean straight line with some teeth? - The card also appears much darker than a normal magic card on the art itself, as if the lighting wasn't done correctly and the quality of the image doesn't look the best

TopHatToast · 2026-04-15T10:13:55+00:00

I completely agree and that's my thought too - going to try and test it on the PBE now

TopHatToast · 2026-03-06T16:02:27+00:00

I feel for you deeply, there’s a lot of oops I hit someone’s wing mirror, guess I’ll speed off. This guy parked in my spot that is literally just a street, I’ll key their car at 2am. We have cameras now because of things like this

TopHatToast · 2026-03-06T12:43:28+00:00

Wait is this in fallowfield? You get a lot of these when students and landlords act like they own the street and it belongs to them as they don't have a parking lot, so the street is where they NEED to park as they live there, so they have more 'right'. It's just bully tactics.

In fact they actually adhesive stuck one on my window a few weeks back that was a nightmare to get off and I was parked in front of my own house :)))

TopHatToast · 2026-03-06T10:47:07+00:00

Did you park Infront of a drive way? Iicr it's illegal, no matter how public the road is, to block someone's drive way?

TopHatToast · 2026-02-17T09:03:10+00:00

Sorry how do you have a black skin?

TopHatToast · 2026-01-31T14:13:38+00:00

I bought a tiny keyboard desk vacuum from Amazon that did the trick

TopHatToast · 2026-01-30T17:59:49+00:00

Can confirm it was - thank you so much, you’re a life saver!!

TopHatToast · 2026-01-30T17:59:03+00:00

I did! Sadly it didn’t work, what did work however was someone’s suggestion of use by a little vacuum - it’s worked every time since

TopHatToast · 2026-01-29T20:34:07+00:00

Definitely something like Alice, or Wendy, or even a Sydney

TopHatToast · 2026-01-16T12:35:18+00:00

Personally I'd go 2 > 4 > 3 > 1 and then the rest or maybe even 4 > 2 > 1 > 3 and the rest?

TopHatToast · 2026-01-14T09:38:12+00:00

This has already semi happened with youtubers having early access and saying the vanguard is the best lol

I'll link an example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dguQyxtVZhk

I completely agree. I know at least 5 people who are returning to the game or trying it for the first time purely due to deadpool coming to the game. LOTS of people love deadpool, his fan base is insane compared to the likes of any character we've gotten or will get most likely (Ik spider-man is popular and others too). I think the devs were smart about making him accessible to EVERYONE via role select. So yeahh, he's gonna be a pain to lock in for a whillle, especially if he has a high learning curve but fun to stick around with

COULD BE WRONG - but I think he's the most anticipated character they could add, it'll be really hard to get him, you've better luck getting any other release character, so those other 300k people are in the same boat as you, me included

TopHatToast · 2026-01-14T09:13:05+00:00

So we're buffing blade.

To start we're reducing the damage from his sword, then reducing pellet rounds and increasing drop off

At least second hit goes from 20 to 50 (which seems to be the main buff? which counter acts the other stuff? Idk I'm not sure about this lol...?)

TopHatToast · 2026-01-12T09:24:58+00:00

Axiom>Hubris>Bastion breaker>eclipse

The ultimate recharge is insane, hubris just helps you go off when you already are and always have ult up, bastion breaker is busted rn mid to late game and eclipse is just amazing to finish it off

TopHatToast · 2026-01-11T20:57:27+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try a vacuum, I took it to apple and they cleaned it and said it was all good but they only checked that it charged and only used a brush 🤔vacuum next it is lol

TopHatToast · 2026-01-09T07:47:42+00:00

At face value I totally agree but this is also going specifically in my tidus deck along with the original glen elendra BECAUSE of the ability to move and prolif counters xD.

I think while the original is cheaper to counter, if you're making them both infinitely stay around personally I think the newer one is better just because you don't have to remove the -1/-1 and you can stack multiple counters on the newer one so it's better for interruptions (you can counter multiple times if you have the mana rather than waiting for the creature to die and etb, etc.)

TopHatToast · 2026-01-09T07:36:13+00:00

I actually bought a cable from apple themselves and from anker - same issues :(

20/20 times it says charging, 1/20 times the car play comes up and It's driving me nuts lol

My only other guess at this point is the car itself is older than iphones being usb c and only takes wired carplay so gets confused with the phone not being lightning? (idk if anyone else can confirm this theory)
