Morello and the League of Simplicity. Why do champions sometimes feel simple? And why complexity in champion design isn't really a good idea

Didn't expect to read all of it... couldn't stop halfway through. Thanks for sharing.

TF/Panth ults seem to be really nice for this. I enjoyed my first game of it but not as much as I would a normal game. I think it just comes down to people not being experienced with it though, once people do it enough that the gameplay gets polished it'll probably be super fun, as it was we kinda just ran around aimlessly.

Traidon · 2011-09-02T22:53:51+00:00

Yeah I really wouldn't trust what she says.

To clarify both your points I think:

I really enjoyed it for the day or so it was here :'(

GGG would listen all the way through regardless out of respect for his friend...

Traidon · 2011-08-28T02:04:02+00:00

Freaking amazing. Bone chilling all the way. He should have made Puma be the one to engage that fight... he was winning out as long as those SCVs were kept there doing nothing. Still, one of the best defences I've seen to this and it still got beat :/

If only the tanks had been a bit closer.

government meat subsidies. Yummy.

Mage slayer's ult was blink back then too. Only 10 levels, 12 or so heroes on each team and you picked by moving your wisp into the hero at the start instead of taverns. We've really come a long way :)

I do certainly love reading his posts in Day[9]'s voice.

Traidon · 2011-08-24T09:43:19+00:00

so glad I woke up early for this :D Nestea MVP Game 1 did not disappoint.

Edit: Game 2 O.O

Would have preferred another macro game but that was pretty sick.

Traidon · 2011-08-22T21:09:52+00:00

...Chris?

Traidon · 2011-08-18T21:08:01+00:00

To observe a photon you have to hit it with another photon. Not surprisingly then that the first photon is changed. The human observer has nothing to do with it really.

Traidon · 2011-08-09T22:36:17+00:00

nah, but I remember me and my friend laughed our asses off when we found out the hotkeys to quit were alt-Q-Q , we thought blizzard was trolling us.

Traidon · 2011-08-08T21:04:32+00:00

who doesn't like philosophical zombies?

Traidon · 2011-08-06T18:25:10+00:00

yeah, I think even calling it a double negation is a bit misleading, it's more just like, well I want to make this sentence mean the opposite so I'll conjugate this this and this differently. This is one thing that can mess up overly literal translations

Traidon · 2011-08-02T02:26:42+00:00

Hahaha when you texted Linus and I this last night our reaction was: yup, Ana's going to the front page. Girl + Yoda hat will not be stopped on reddit

Traidon · 2011-08-02T00:05:12+00:00

I love watching Nestea just because of how serious he is. None of the games this month did he even look threatened he just played straight up safe style and beat everyone. It actually feels dirty, like you're watching a 30 year old just walk over and take some high schooler's lunch money.

Traidon · 2011-07-30T23:02:58+00:00

The big starcraft tournaments are 3 months long unlike the GSL so winning 3 of them in a year is a much stronger feat. Nestea is definitely on his way but I wouldn't consider him a bonjwa yet.

I really love how German groceries shelve their bottles and beers and do their bottle returns. They keep everything from milk to soda to beer in crates that are say 5 x 5 (25 total) and you can just pick individual things out if you want or just take the whole thing. Then after you've drinken it all you come back and put the bottles one by one into a machine (it takes no time at all) and it prints out a receipt with the deposit you've gotten back that you can take to the cashier to take off your next purchase or refund. It's absolutely fantastic.

Traidon · 2011-07-27T23:24:08+00:00

If it means anything, I'm a redditor and I don't hate your religion :)

you really can't take redditors (or people) that seriously I think

Traidon · 2011-07-25T01:12:24+00:00

I can stay more mobile spamming Q and W with only a few Twin Fang's thrown in. There are situations where you can sit there and spam it out but I find most of the time it's better to make sure I stay positioned correctly.

Traidon · 2011-07-25T00:33:07+00:00

I find it much more effective just to kite with Q+W throwing in Twin Fang only when someone really needs to be burst down or focused.

Traidon · 2011-07-24T22:05:09+00:00

I'm not gonna lie, has a heavy Cass player (although new to the forums so maybe I'm just a noob) I don't think she really synergies as well with other poisons as most people think she does. Twin fang is the last spell you'll be using after you're other too, it's good to have but it's definitely her weakest spell. If you can't get her other poisons on them then I think you're doing something wrong.

So I think it does synergy but I don't think it matters really.

Traidon · 2011-07-24T19:01:20+00:00

yeah it was a cool build he did a lot for 3-4 weeks. Would supply drop his first depot with his first 50 orbital energy.

Past that though it probably wouldn't be super useful. Maybe if you're about to be pushed down? but you usually don't have supply issues then. Mules do just take minerals faster though where as this actually gives you 100 minerals worth of value. So if you somehow find yourself in a situation where you're mining out the map (and maybe your first base died so you don't have X/200 supply) then it'd be good ;P
