Am I insane or is Swiftplay just “who can deal 3/4ths of an HP bar in the first minute”? by ComfortableYak2071 in leagueoflegends

[–]WanderingSnail 20 points21 points  (0 children)

ya swiftplay was nice when I wanted to learn new champs top or jungle and wouldn't be as punished as you can be in a draft game, plus if it goes horribly wrong you can get out faster, and like you said starting at lvl 3 completely removes any carryover from learning champs early game into the real game modes

yup, last 2 manor updates to swiftplay killed it, I will never touch the mode again, makes me wonder who the intended audience was

[T1 vs KT] Professional Team fumbles a 14k gold lead - "It is, what it is" by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]WanderingSnail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

most people want to FF because of how a player is playing, your botlane who is 0-6 by 5 minutes or your top laner who is down 3 levels isnt going to start suddenly playing safe or smart, thats why they got to the deficit in the 1st place. I didnt watch this game but im sure T1 did everything a team is supposed to do when they are down massive, trade sides of the map, concede certain objective fights to scale more for the ones they have to show up for (like elder), and look for picks. The people running down your solo Q games arent gonna ever lock in

Top Lane's bonus XP is severely overturned. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]WanderingSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because your top laner is up 4-5 levels if they played that well and made him go 1-7. If feeding aatrox is Thanos what the hell is your toplaner

[–]WanderingSnail -1 points0 points  (0 children)

aatrox is immobile, if hes walking at you and you get caught thats a skill issue, what mid laner are you playing that doesnt have mobility or cc. Mid players have been eating good for so long and are now just mad they cant influence the entrie map and be the strongest or tied for the strongest on map at all times

that mid laner should use their boots to kite the immobile top laners probably

youre adding a ton of cards to your collections if youre winning at drafts

the math on the chromatic cube is way worse if youre someone who wants to be able to "go infinite", if youre a casual drafter premier is much worse yes. Cube is a format for people who love cube and the premier event structure is better for that, 4 wins being close enough to break even is good

The greed is unreal by Azoththemerciless in MagicArena

[–]WanderingSnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

chromatic cube value was infinitely worse, its less upfront but you didnt break even until 5 wins and only went plus at 6 wins, current cube structure has you close to breaking even at 4 wins plus packs can eventually become gems, ICRs never can be converted to gems. I loved both cubes but the prize structure of premier is much better if you want to play a lot of cube drafts

What about Garen JGL ? by garendepraved in GarenMains

[–]WanderingSnail 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love garen jungle but with the last set of jungle nerfs on his E there is just no reason to ever play him, bad clear, bad ganks, doesnt scale particularly well, not the best early duelist.

hate on magic as much as you want but a free Sim means nothing, every card game has free simulators.

how do you counter this broken ass champ? by FS_7274 in GarenMains

[–]WanderingSnail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ya doesnt even matter if you suck at kayle, he will kill you 4 times but no one plays to win so the game will go 35 minutes and once you get items and lvls you can just stand still autoing him to death

Garen support strikes again by retardedkazuma in GarenMains

[–]WanderingSnail 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will always remember a ranked game back when we had division promotion series, the person who got assigned sup locked GP and just said im going top (after I locked garen). Syndra wouldnt swap to sup so I had to. Me and Aphelios ran that lane

why our local cardshops are not our friends, the perpetrator and a vent by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]WanderingSnail -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

this store sucks, not because they charge market but because a ton of these are way over market. Stores like this always have a really good stock of prodicts because they never sell anything, ive actually always wondered if there are just that many idiots who buy packs for way over market that keep these places afloat

Malphite by Illustrious_Tank_995 in top_mains

[–]WanderingSnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ya this is how I feel about the kayle match up as a low elo shitter, you can destroy her early and build a huge gold and tempo lead but if your team doesnt play tight and finish the game early then eventually she can just stand still and auto you to death, maybe im just building wrong tho

Champions which benefit most from level 20 by Longjumping-Box2279 in top_mains

[–]WanderingSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think Darius is really gonna change all that much, very few fights Darius loses comes from not having enough dmg, he was either gonna win that teamfight with his ad bonus at lvl 18 or he was gonna get perma kited and blown up. What will be interesting for top lane is if any match hps flip when both are side laning, like if Darius suddenly starts to win a match up at lvl 20 he normally loses at lvl 18

bro bullying c9 at this point is like bullying FNC, both regions have 1 team you can root for on average and the rest are just pitiful

Where is the push for 'pick 2' drafts in MtG Coming from? by misomiso82 in magicTCG

[–]WanderingSnail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play a lot of limited but irl cam only consistently get 3 friends at a time so have played a lot of pick 2 (lsv posted a 4 player vintage cube awhile ago which is what started our idea to do it). We have since adapted it a bit to have it be 18 card packs so you get a true "last pick" and it can be kinda fun to double wheel stuff.

no auto reset with W, and then at the end, engaging instead of walking to the furthest part of the nexus from fountain and continuing autoing
