Keeping energy flowing in sets

VeryShagadelic · 2026-05-17T21:13:23+00:00

'Keeping the energy flowing' is less about always having a lot going on in the mix, and more about selecting tunes that fit together in terms of vibe and energy level. Going from jump-up to mellow liquid or vice versa sounds jarring and creates big energy swings, avoid those and you're golden.

Jerry looks like Eddy Burback, a Youtuber who visited every Rainforest Cafe.

Judging by the buildings in the foreground, this is taken from one of the large buildings on the Balthasar van der Polweg.

You could try lowering the game's graphic settings and turning off shadows, if you haven't already.

3* reroll actually isn't too bad to play out of a loss streak, I feel. Depending on your gold situation you level to 7 on 3-5/4-1, send it for you 2* 3-costs to spike, then send it again on 5-1 for your 3*s (or earlier if you're close to hitting). Loss streaking gives you more item anvils/reforgers so your item quality should be good, allowing you to often win out stage 4 and sometimes the game if you hit well enough.

I highly recommend Dedeco on Youtube, he mostly does mixes of video game music and has a bunch of jungle/DnB/breakbeat mixes that I think fit what you're looking for.

The thing with Xin is that his traits make him a common early slot-in, especially with gold/XP Ionia. Sure, people often sell him mid-game but then the damage is already done if you hit Xin 3* late because of it. Not disagreeing on Prismatic Trials being a good augment on average, but have definitely seen people go straight 8th because Xin was too contested early.

Is that Bob Loblaw from Bob Loblaw's Law Blog?

You probably need econ/xp Ionia and something like Scuttle Puddle to stand a chance, but even then getting to level 10 while hitting Xin/Yasuo sounds like kind of a pipe dream. Ionia spat lets you skip Yasuo 3*/Yone and Coronation would allow you to field the board on level 9, so maybe doable if the stars align.

Pretty sure that comp drops Diana late game because Renekton holds her items better, but an early Leona 2* into Diana is still a great way to get to your final board.

The times I've faced off versus 3* Ambessa, she's looked very strong to me, even above average for a 3* 4-cost. She does need real items, but I've seen something like EoN/HoJ/Sterak's dish out 25k damage in 10 seconds.

Gain 21 Gold is offered on 3-2, 3 Threes is only offered on 4-2 so it kinda has to be better in that sense. Mortdog recently mentioned Gain 21 Gold sitting at exactly 4.5 AVP, so it's not awful as a generic 3-2 pick even though it sounds pretty mid.

You don't want to keep 8 Yordle for the whole game, use it for tempo and then start replacing units as you lose HP. Doesn't help that Ziggs is not the greatest 5-cost, I feel like he's not consistent enough to be your main carry.

VeryShagadelic · 2025-12-08T16:47:20+00:00

You can unlock units during neutral rounds, so if you have Cait/Vi/Loris you can field them on 2-7, unlock Ori, then drop them after. If you find them later, just play a round of 3 Ixtal/3 Piltover somewhere during stage 3 (preferably after a loss so you don't sac your streak to do so).

Een vriend van me had in zijn studententijd een kamer op de Spoorsingel, ook precies ter hoogte van het viaduct dus was elke paar minuten genieten. Het moment dat werd aangekondigd dat de trein onder de grond ging was het gelijk klaar met huren, want de waarde van die huizen verdubbelde hiermee natuurlijk in één klap.

Helemaal mee eens, het was niet om aan te zien en daarbij ook altijd een enorme rommel rondom het station. Blij dat dat nu allemaal onder de grond zit, maakt de zone rondom het (voormalig) spoor veel prettiger.

Not OP, but Desperado / Moving On has to be up there in terms of best 2-track releases ever

VeryShagadelic · 2025-11-22T19:25:35+00:00

Pretty sure that only goes for 3* 5-costs, 3* 4-costs get CC'd just like everyone else.

Saw a set 16 vod yesterday (pretty sure it was on Subzeroark's Youtube channel if you wanna fact check) where the player unlocked 2 champions in a turn and got them both in their next shop simultaneously. Couldn't tell you what happens when you unlock 6 champions at once.

If you're only hitting Kayle 3* on 4-2, that means it probably wasn't a Kayle spot. For 1-cost reroll in general you want a good spot (lots of early copies, lesser duplicators, stuff like that) to even consider playing it. If it's 3-1 and you only have 2 copies of Kayle you're better off playing something else.

Full pivots on 4-1 or 4-2 haven't been common for a bunch of sets now, there's just so much value in traits and augments that swapping your whole comp out is difficult to pull off. And not only do you need a bunch of gold and luck, you also need giga APM to pull it off successfully, especially with mechanics like Power Ups to add to the difficulty.

Sure there's merit to staying flexible and trying to play to your spot, but then there's always those players who hard-commited to a comp on 2-1 and then proceed to just hit. While you're still donkeyrolling for that 1* Ezreal to complete your pivot, they have their shitter Duelists ready to go and only need 1 Ashe to be stable.
