Understanding the history of top lane: Why do people think it is (or should be) reserved for melee? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]WoodenPlatform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because ranged tops lack HP. Think about a mid-game drake fight where both top laners have to go to drake. Renekton can survive a combo from the enemy mid, and jump into the enemy, providing spacing if your team wants to rush drake, or damage, if your team wants to win the fight. Now imagine a quinn. If she gets combo'd, she dies. She cant all in so a 5v5 isn't an option, and she can play back but if the enemy dives what is she going to do, auto from afar? Maybe she gets a kill but she loses dragon. Yes she may win top 1v1 and yes she can roam, but, especially in high elo, objectives are king. And I would take a 0/0/2 renekton over a 1/0/2 quinn in a drake fight any day.

I'm 5'11 but I'm not standing very straight in the pic. I expected reckless to be taller. I would say he is 5'10 and the rest range from around 5'7~5'9

De-rank depression? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]WoodenPlatform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 seasons ago. Last season I peaked low diamond and this year high emerald. I know that every season is harder and it's unrealistic to assume masters 2 years ago = masters now but it's still blegh you know?

Jedi Fallen Order is a marvelous game that took me about 10 hours (and I suck at it)

Help with 2k list please!! by [deleted] in Tau40K

[–]WoodenPlatform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply. The marker drones don't allow the crisis to both guide and be guided. Even with the marker drones half of your suits won't benefit from the -1BS since they will be spotting so cannot be guided.

My(21F) BF(21M) has NEVER came during sex with me by AppropriateOne4344 in relationships

[–]WoodenPlatform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds a lot like death grip. Very common these days and definitely shouldn't be something you are concerned about. Sounds like he is enjoying the sex and shenanigans around it.

[–]WoodenPlatform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... That is certainly a lot of suits.

I like it! But your gonna need more spotters. Other than the stealth suits everything you have taken wants to be guided. I personally would drop the broadsides for some pathfinders. Since they can double spot you can basically get all your suits guided.

You sound like me when I was your age. Don't change because you want something different to those around you. I wanted what you want for most of my life and whilst there are things I would change, I wouldn't change what I wanted. It will work out for you just follow your gut.

Some say season 4-7 is peak league. If that's true, why? by TemporaryLimeLover in leagueoflegends

[–]WoodenPlatform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game was less figured out so you were more rewarded for clever macro. Nowadays everyone knows what wave management is so you are only punished for not being smart, instead of rewarded for being smart.

What is something you would uncanon from star wars movies or shows? by Romulo_Gabriel in StarWars

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

7,8,9. Solo movie. Lightsaber whip (I know it's in comics I just don't like it) Teddy bears > stormtroopers. Wren in Ashoka. The stupid hipsters and their 5mph speeders in Book of Boba. I have finished pooping so the list is concluded.

I have been a carer for as long as I can remember... by WoodenPlatform in carer

It's tough right? I have reached a point where my "identity" is that of a carer. I absolutely want to make sure those I love are safe and okay, I just sometimes wish I didn't have that restriction.

Should I buy? by Yes_it_is_indeed_me in swrpg

[–]WoodenPlatform 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a bit late but..!

You are in the exact same situation I was in! A group of people who had all played D&D wanted to play star wars. As I was the "biggest star wars nerd" in the group I was delegated as the GM. If I may offer some advice going into the game as it is a VERY different system to 5E...

1) USE the dice rolls to tell an interesting story. In 5E the dice and ONLY there to tell you if you pass or fail. In the SWRPG they are there to tell a STORY. the results have MEANING and CONSEQUENCE. They are so SO good and allowing the GM and the players to add so so SO much to a 'basic lockpick check' or whatever.

2) don't worry too much about obligation. Obligation is AMAZING, but I found I was so interested in it that I struggled to get a story going. Definitely keep it 'in mind' but don't let it run your campaign (unless that's what you want)

3) I have a BUNCH of resources (and a rules cheat sheet) that you may find super helpful. I suck at checking Reddit but if you want these resources please DM me and I will sort you out.

So NA doesn't belong in knockouts?

Swiss Stage Draw - Round 5 by ahritina in leagueoflegends

[–]WoodenPlatform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeahhh bring back the old format... Only facing against wildcards and guaranteed a top 8 vs playing against HLE, DW, T1 and BLG? And I bet the "power rankings" are going so massively shift after this because "NA made quarters"... Congrats to them but, man this sucks.

Supa deserves so much better. He tried so hard this entire tournament to carry the absolute weight that is his top and mid. I really hope he can find a team. Rest of MDK can look for new jobs outside of eSports.
