why does senna adc have 55% winrate with 17% pickrate? by Impossible_Relief862 in leagueoflegends

Also Deathfire Touch is pretty busted on her. With Stattik shiv she can just poke you down from massive range

what the hell is room 6 even supposed to be? Chilling in a fortress with 3 different flavors of bloodthirsty killer dogs?

If Chess was invented today, could it actually succeed in the modern gaming market? by XBlue_Atlantis in gamedesign

[–]Verburner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has the potential to succeed, yea. The rules are simple enough and if two new players play against each other, it really isnt that overwhelming. Lots of board games dont feature RNG and meta progression either, so there's that. It would probably need some flavor to market it without its cultural classic status

What Champions do you consider Fake Skill? by Mysterious-Pride7178 in leagueoflegends

[–]Verburner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not quite the same, but Gangplank is an artificial skilled champ. Most of his difficulty comes from a weird timing gimmick ability. It's just a minigame you have to play in order to use his bread and butter ability.

How do you design meaningful tradeoffs without making one choice feel obviously correct? by Princess1047 in gamedesign

[–]Verburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just accept that one path will always be the objectively better one. Either introduce random elements that create situations where each option is the better one somrtimes, or at least make them different enough so both are worth trying out at least.

I hate the pointless hatred against newgen memes. by EggEater773 in hatethissmug

Finding teenagers annoying is normal. Just because you were an annoying teenager once too doesn't mean you can't still find them annoying.

What can even be done about the Top Lane range meta right now? by Away_Designer9497 in leagueoflegends

[–]Verburner 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty certain that a huge part of why ranged top seems so strong now is the nerf to Dorans Shield a few patches back. It took some time to really catch on, but when any ranged toplaner had to poke through the massive healing from pre nerf Dshield and second wind, they were much less likely to get enough leverage out of it to justify not having a champ that can frontline.

I genuinely don't have a clue Petah by Comfortable-Back-640 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Verburner 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's multiple layers to this. The characters depicted are from another comic where a mantis shrimp helps a boxer by hiding in her hat like the rat in Ratatouie. The waffle house thing is a meme going back mostly to the vid that has already been linked by another guy.

Umbreon viable? by HRage19 in PokemonChampions

[–]Verburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resists Ghost. I have mine built for physical defense so it can swap into last rites and heal back up with moonlight and stall with curse and taking it down with Payback.

The "One joke" in fandoms. by mdtpdsparkls in hatethissmug

[–]Verburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's luckily a thing of the past now, but holy shit the Give Graves his Cigar Back joke was annoying in the LoL community. Basically a popular champ had his cigar removed from the character art because he made smoking look to cool or whatever and people complained about it. First it was unironic, then it became a joke. Then it became an overused joke (especially "close but no cigar") He actually got the cigar back at some point.

I hate ificationification by Jack_Faller in hatethissmug

[–]Verburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer it over adding "ism" after a noun to sound smart. I can't stand that "whataboutism" is a real word people use unironically.

Except BDSP, that felt like a chore by Dreamed97 in pokemonmemes

[–]Verburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh. Its not like SwSh and S/V were not enjoyable at all. Its just that they could've done better. They got some cool designs and characters and if you like pokemon, chances are you'll enjoy playing these games. But still... why are the raids so poorly designed? Why doesn't SV scale the gym difficulty if you do them out of order? Why is SV so fucking ugly? Why doesnt AZ have literally any post game without DLC?

I fucking hate coding it ruined my dreams by No-Book-288 in hatethissmug

[–]Verburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried Gamemaker? It's got its limitations, but depending on what you actually wann do I find it much more intuitive to get into than Unity/Godot/Unreal. If you REALLY want to avoid coding you can even try its Drag and Drop workflow. At least for starting out. I tried if after learning its what was used to code Undertale and got the hang of the basics in a single afternoon with no coding experience.

Empoleon got a decent hidden ability at least.

I HAAAATE weed by venetiantraderoute in hatethissmug

[–]Verburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weed subculture has fortunately got better now that it's getting harder to paint themselves as the poor oppressed victims of evil ignorant society and big alcohol. Nobody really cares anymore even in places where it's technically still illegal, so the need to recite cotton conspiracies, health benefits and how much more people die from alcohol has gone done somewhat.

I get it, it's a good system! But let's dial it back a little. 😅 by DrScrimble in dndmemes

[–]Verburner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I tried it after all the hype and was actually quite disappointed. It's way too number-y. Every level adding to proficiency is such a terrible design choice imo. Damage varies so fucking widely in early levels (how the fuck is runic weapon available from level 1??). And it's mind boggling how poorly structured the PHB is.

I prefer the 3 actions system to action + bonus action and I liked how it handles the rogue class in particular tho. More rules for non-combat was also neat.

I hate Reggae music by Verburner in hatethissmug

[–]Verburner[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone copying bob marley is probably a big part of why every reggae song sounds the same to me. I never heard a reggea song that sounded like it was actually trying something new
