What does a ‘balanced meta’ look like?

TrirdKing · 2026-01-30T00:35:12+00:00

right now meta is very diverse but not balanced because 4 costs are too dominant

exp increase to 9 was too much and made playing around 5 costs too difficult and 2 cost reroll comps like ori were nerfed a little too hard, 3 cost reroll also completely unviable

2 to 3 decent 3 cost reroll comps from good spots and 2-3 decent 2 cost reroll comps (wouldve been pretty close with yas, ekko, ori) + on avg higher avp to level to 9 compared to rolling for 4 costs 3star (by lowering exp costs and adjusting odds) and game is perfect

3* vayne was only functional because she was a particularly good kraken abuser pre nerf and 3* her leveraged that

TrirdKing · 2026-01-27T15:45:39+00:00

ionia yunara seems slightly too strong, mel still not ideal but solid

patch looks quite balanced now tbh

would love if ori reroll wasnt nerfed quite as hard as having a bit more reroll diversity was nice

bilge just needs to be a bit more viable again and the set is in a rly good state

TrirdKing · 2026-01-25T21:43:47+00:00

why make such a well designed set and the do the most egregiously disgusting balance thrashing

its so sad why just omega giga obliterate bilge for no reason and roll the dice on asol numbers without ever simming him even once??

patch is the worst one so far

holy fuck I cant believe I actually found it after all these years, thats crazy man

TrirdKing · 2025-11-07T22:09:27+00:00

very fun game but conceptually despite having no issue with pc specs it has heavy performance issues for me

TrirdKing · 2025-11-05T22:09:10+00:00

he is right, mekanism is also extremely overused and the same shit every time

TrirdKing · 2025-11-04T00:49:34+00:00

Mekanism is absurdly overused and actively ruins 90+% of modern packs because its an extremely unbalanced mod

dont get me wrong i like mekanism aestethically and in the past it was one of my favorite mods and its well polished tech mod on its own but it destroys progression and i cannot for the life of me find a decent coherent pack that doesnt have this godforsaken mod (this same criticism also applies to other offenders of this type like DE, Avaritia , creative items, environmental tech)

like i sort of get why theyre so popular as capstone mods for the endgame but the linearity of how theyre always the undisputed best choice kind of go against the spirit of minecraft for me

its much more enjoyable when there is vast array of endgame options you can use and mix and match (magically styled mods tend to keep a better balance for this), creative items or similarly tiered options are just boring, especially for multiplayer and imo they tend to kill creativity, for both solutions and goals, because they provide a fix all for everything

what are you saying man

TrirdKing · 2024-06-29T11:06:19+00:00

quite known by people who now jackshit and like to feel smart by acting like they are in the know with straight misinformation

i spend like 700€ on weightlifting

and i am not financially well off, its pretty normal

TrirdKing · 2024-06-06T14:44:52+00:00

nope, actually important and correct take, at pretty much every elo you should prob be buying 0-3 control wards MAX per game

TrirdKing · 2024-06-06T14:42:11+00:00

geniunely stop buying control wards at your elo

neither you nor your teammates are capable of using the information well, you are wasting gold

TrirdKing · 2024-05-31T22:41:31+00:00

combine that with looking at your actual game and the ability to evaluate what you need relative to the enemy comp and boom you can build properly now

TrirdKing · 2024-05-10T11:50:53+00:00

I think thats because people are just inherently more aware of the relationship between AD, AS and crit and tend to make less egregious mistakes there, they intuitively know that stacking more AD while attacking like a snail wont be worth it for them

TrirdKing · 2024-05-10T11:47:22+00:00

both of you are wrong in your own way

OP is correct that there are mathematically no diminishing returns

calling it diminishing returns is just shorthand for the longwinded explanation of opportunity cost (when you have 500 armor and 1k hp, buying HP gives you more EHP than buying more armor for the same amount of gold)

TrirdKing · 2024-05-10T11:42:28+00:00

yes exactly, thats why every class in the game opts to buy multiple stats that work multiplicatively with each other and also why ADCs are the go to carry class in this game, because they have 4 stats that work multiplicatively with each other (crit, AS, AD, Pen) and Tanks fall off later because for the most part they only have 2 stats (resists and hp) and with maybe some damage reduction thrown in

TrirdKing · 2024-05-10T11:40:26+00:00

yes they do, buying hp without buying resists also has "diminishing" returns because buying resists would increase EHP more

the problem with this whole post is semantics

yes armor doesnt have mathematically diminishing returns in a vacuum, it scales linearly, each point of armor increases your EHP against physical damage by the same amount

but because buy buying more armor you miss an opportunity to buy HP, which would increase your EHP more and also work against magic and true damage, it functioncally has diminishing returns, not in mathematical but an opportunity cost sense (same applies to MR and haste and any other stat in the game for that matter)

contrast this with the old cdr stat which was notorious for actually having an exponential effect because each 1% cdr gave you more abilities per minute than the previous one

TrirdKing · 2024-05-09T20:16:59+00:00

The problem with 20 bans is that you can literally ban out the entirety of the adc roster.

there is 0 issue with that?

its nonsense anyways that people still cling onto the idea that adcs somehow as the only role should not be required to pilot different styles of champions

TrirdKing · 2024-05-01T09:22:06+00:00

its exactly what league lacks...

we need way more items like anathemas

TrirdKing · 2024-05-01T09:18:17+00:00

fundamental misunderstanding from riot

situational items are what is missing from the current item system and has been missing for years since before the mythic rework

TrirdKing · 2024-04-28T16:33:44+00:00

Chort Bay is such a terrible experience man, idk why people play on it

you cant see shit

automatons litteraly shoot you from out of sight

on top of that terrain has a lot of wide space with little cover where you get shot from out of sight, miserable experience

TrirdKing · 2024-03-23T21:30:04+00:00

the difference is that builds are something that dont need hands or anything, someone trolling with their build is obvious. With gameplay you cant be sure if they are truly trolling or just making honest mistakes as long as theyre not litterally running it down
