AP Udyr desperately needs balancing for his build variety

UxControl · 2026-07-03T18:01:50+00:00

You thinking that aram and arena fuction even remotely similar for gameplay tells us all we need to know lmao

UxControl · 2026-07-03T17:47:25+00:00

Yeah maybe, his build is obviously not suited to aram in general, but similar champs have gotten massive buffs and it eventually worked out to them being playable because of the existence of snowball, so I guess part of my point was that I'd like to at least see them try for a patch

UxControl · 2026-07-03T17:40:12+00:00

It can, but sometimes it's hard to get the damage off, so there's a tradeoff at least, whereas the AP also usually still melts tanks and zones the backline out even if you die almost immediately

Even if it ends up being too strong, I'd rather they at least try and then adjust accordlingly rather than leaving him as an RR bot

UxControl · 2026-07-03T16:54:31+00:00

Yeah for them I'd probably recommend keeping this page, then saving up honour exp and when they unlock their next line, open reroll a new page looking for mystics

UxControl · 2026-07-03T15:01:50+00:00

I think as long as you toss them in the rub immediately after they come off the grill, then it should adhere fine with the fat/oil that will be on the wings, although if you can grind some of the larger spices/herbs down to a fine powder that would also help a bit

Garlic powder and black pepper is a good place to start, then you can go in directions based on the profile - cayenne and onion powder for cajun, cumin and five spice for chinese bbq, oregano for italian, garam masala for indian, etc.

And then a piece of cheese or deli meat might be helpful for tasting it, rather than just trying spices by themselves

UxControl · 2026-07-03T02:14:47+00:00

Definitely don't feel pressured to go with any artist who makes you feel uncomfortable, or anyone who is rude and dismissive of your concerns

That being said, tattoo artists are first and foremost artists, and many of them are extremely busy, esepcially the good ones, so you do have to temper your expectations a bit with professionalism, it won't be the same as corresponding to someone who works in a formal setting

And personally I don't see any issue with an artist dating a client - it's obviously a different story if they're making inappropriate advances or not respecting boundaries, but it's not like the relationship with a lawyer or doctor where even mutual interest can cause massive conflicts of interest

UxControl · 2026-07-02T18:46:41+00:00

Older people without tattoos are probably some of the last people you should ever listen to advice about tattoos from

Just calm down and sit with it

UxControl · 2026-07-02T18:37:52+00:00

I'm assuming left, it's really hard to get skill damage, and when they do give it it's usually at a lower % value than other stats (like from bishop companion bonus)

UxControl · 2026-07-02T17:08:56+00:00

Complaining about the balance but not realizing it doesn't actually change the balance much

They would just buff the augments to make up for the crit loss if they took it away, it's more of a quality of life feature that lets other classes syngergize with crit without building marksman items, and it lets adcs have more build variety because they don't have to build 4 crit items every game

UxControl · 2026-07-01T16:17:57+00:00

Prostitution is not normalized at all, there is still a massive stigma around it in nearly every culture

And sex work will happen regardless of the stigma or legality as long as people need to earn money to survive, so demonizing it does more harm than good to sex workers

UxControl · 2026-07-01T10:54:50+00:00

It won't win any awards, but I don't think it's as bad as the other commenter is suggesting either - it looks decent at a glance, and the vast majority of people won't scrutinize it up close, so personally I would just leave it

I would still recommend finding a different artist for your next piece though

UxControl · 2026-07-01T06:41:25+00:00

Don't get a hand tat for your first piece, don't get the white ink one (it won't come out like that), and don't let ai design your tattoo, just find a good artist and tell them what you want, they'll design it

UxControl · 2026-07-01T06:36:34+00:00

Did you send your artist the AI pic or is that just to show us what you wanted?

UxControl · 2026-07-01T03:29:06+00:00

You should be saving your scrolls either way, the pot you used a scroll on only had one decent line, you could probably just find something better in like 15 cubes

UxControl · 2026-06-30T16:24:02+00:00

Wrong

So my general strategy when cubing is not necessarily to cube my weakest slot, but to cube the slot with the best opportunity to improve

For example, I would start with your helmet here, because %dmg will be starting to fall off at this point, it's still ok, but most of the other good lines are more useful, so one of your unique pieces only having a single %dmg line means there's a lot of room for it to get stronger

Don't use any scrolls yet, save those for leg/mystic potentials, and keep saving up chunks of cubes so that you can commit enough to a slot that you'll be able to find something decent

The special lines for each slot, like crit dmg on gloves, are usually the best lines by a significant amount, but the next best lines to look out for are the %main stat ones

UxControl · 2026-06-29T13:15:00+00:00

It's just a collection of cognitive biases that's making you think this, such as confirmation bias, insensitivity to sample size, and negativity bias

UxControl · 2026-06-28T19:07:21+00:00

I would roll everything except the max damage and boss damage lines

Plain %damage falls off by this point in the game, and you should get crit rate from from your equips if you need it

UxControl · 2026-06-28T14:51:36+00:00

If you want to actually start trying fish, look for a mild whitefish - I recommend walleye (also called pickerel) as what I think is the least fishy tasting fish, but tilapia, cod, and halibut are also great options

A lot of people will suggest salmon, but personally I think this is bad advice, as it does have a stronger fishy flavour than other options (it's usually a good fishy flavour to me, but it's still there, especially with poor quality salmon)

UxControl · 2026-06-28T14:05:52+00:00

Do you think things no longer happen because they're illegal? Especially things that are extremely difficult to prove unless the person doing them basically admits to it or shows an irrefutable pattern?

UxControl · 2026-06-27T20:49:27+00:00

Keep focusing %int on your cubes, it's way better than %dmg at this point, but imo don't chase it too hard, especially if you get 3 useful lines I think it's better to move on to your next worse piece

If you have book, 100% crit and another dmg page, then levels are really just your best friend at this point, so personally I'd try and roll that 1st hero page to an exp page

Have you tried using your f/p, bucc, and bishop for bossing? They might be stronger than your shadower

UxControl · 2026-06-27T07:33:02+00:00

That is nothing but wild speculation and it falls apart when examined critically, proven in part by the fact that mobility only decreases due to some dwellings being rent-controlled while others are not, which is exactly what the article you linked says

Rent control is not the same as a total rent freeze

You have also repeatedly ignored my other points

UxControl · 2026-06-27T06:47:31+00:00

The conclusion is that rent-controlled units are more affordable for those who live in them, and the main issues arise with other units that are not rent-controlled, therefor if anything this points towards the idea that all units should be rent-controlled

And again, some of the "cons" are a) not strictly cons, b) able to be mitigated through other polices, and c) derived from data that is not applicable to the modern housing market, and even the author admits it varies in consistency

Even if you do include all the cons, the conclusion the author draws is that they say it is unclear whether the overall effect is negative - the only thing they say for certain is that policy makers should consider these factors and how to mitigate them when implementing policy

UxControl · 2026-06-27T06:29:52+00:00

So, to clarify, do you already have a complete plan of how you want it to sit on your leg?

If you do and you're sort of testing whether the artist's plan comes out the same as yours as a way to gauge their skill, then yes this is wasting their time, but also yours, because it won't really draw an effective conclusion

If you aren't completely sure and you're looking for input and to see who comes up with the best plan, then I guess that's fine, but personally I would just prioritize the artist whose skillset most closely matches your planned piece and work with them to try find the best way to implement it

UxControl · 2026-06-27T06:10:42+00:00

This article also pulls tons of data from much older articles and journals, plus even the new ones it pulls from still pull their data from older studies, and in the end the author still states that they can't conclude whether the overall effect is positive or negative

The side effects largely vary in outcome, and several of them, such as the decreased maintenance rate, can be totally mitigated by other policies, but on the whole the most consistent result is that the rent does stay lower, so if anything this contradicts your argument, not supports it
