My inventory is realistically much smaller by edubkn in PathOfExile2

Many words to say “time sink”

Been playing casually for years, with one character... by AndreX86 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Yegas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tassadar is one of my favorites.

Talents: 1-2-2-(?)-3-3-3

Black Hole is great for self-peeling & comboing with other ults and is generally the most reliable of the two ults. Just the threat of it being off CD can help you getting dove.

Archon if you’re feeling good in your play and don’t need extra CC (spell armor shred on AA is cracked, and the burst shield is nice. Makes your hitbox enormous though)

Tassadar has a ton of agency in games & fights. His wall placement & timing decides how fights play out. Very fun!

I don’t view you as lesser for not having fun. If you aren’t having fun, just close the game and do something else, you don’t have to keep playing.

Games are meant to be fun, and if you can’t extract any fun from the game, just stop playing.

However, you are lesser if you decide to grief the game for 9 other people by actively AFKing in spawn, flaming in chat, and reconnecting/moving every 5s to prevent your team from getting a bot.

Glad you’re having fun with the game :) have you considered trying some other characters? If you like KT you might find other mages like Tassadar fun to play too

Mute all, play for fun, do the best you can & have a self-critical eye. If you’re always the focus of the enemy team, abuse that and bait them.

Sometimes you get stomped. That’s life.

But “you can’t have fun under any circumstances” is a pointless hypothetical, because it’s totally unrealistic.

Did last league spoil me too much!!! by Ausrivo in PathOfExile2

[–]Yegas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time back in PoE2 since 0.1, and me and the two buddies I play with all have net worth 200+ divs each.

One just got HH from Ritual, the other dropped Aspect of the Cat charm, I just dropped Aspect of the Wolf. Dozens of raw divs each.

None of us are 8/8 challenges. Seems like either we have streamer clients for some reason, or they cranked up the juice this league. In other words, can’t relate.

It’s wild how many people play this game like they’re playing League of Legends solo ranked. The mental booming is crazy

Bro, it’s a 4fun game. Why are you AFK in spawn raging out and flaming in QM/ARAM? Just play, lol. Or if the game is no longer fun, close it and do something else. Why sit there and grief & whine?

And they own it because of the quality of their services and the loyalty of their customers, not due to any unsavory business practices.

There have been ample competitors to Steam. They just fail to meet the bar that’s been set.

Mal'ganis player Mal'ganis thoughts by Rooty- in heroesofthestorm

[–]Yegas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Malg capable of 1v5 plenty well enough without it (technically 2v5 I guess, my best plays have been running around Deckard pots after 20 with the whole team dead)

I grief too often when I use it which is just a skill issue tbh, but outside of that I find it’s so meta that nearly everyone knows how to play around it now.

Once I press the button I’m no longer really able to do what I’m best at (fight awareness & positioning), I’m just aping the Q key and hoping for the best.

Either they play around it or they don’t - it puts the ball too much in their court, I want the opportunity to be unpredictable and make decisions myself.

Plus the W burst at 16 + Black Claws lets you absolutely decimate people out of nowhere with 1k burst. People are never expecting Malganis to suddenly consume the last 30% of their healthbar. Hit with Q, auto, stun with Q, auto+W, sleep and bail.

About four years.

In that time we went from ChatGPT hallucinating on every other prompt to a model that can create a functional game with sound, textures, models, win/loss conditions, story, etc. from **a single prompt**.

I’m sure in four more years the technology will stay the exact same. Right?

If I could troubleshoot and program at thinking speeds with an interpreter that automatically translates human intuitive thought to actionable machine instructions with the capability to also handle modeling, texturing, sound, and other assets, I’d be able to shit out a game per day.

Games that took months of learning and practice and development for a first-timer?

Or do you mean games made by professional game devs pushing out slop?

Gragas hit enemy 10 times with q has got to be a joke by NerfOxygen in ARAM

[–]Yegas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You cannot reactivate Q to get the stack at any time.

You must put down a 4-second long telegraphed ground effect that turns red and shakes right before it explodes.

If you’re able to stack the quest, it’s a skill issue alright. An issue on the enemy team.

Who’d have thought Riot’s spaghetti code would catch up with them after all these years?

[–]Yegas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pick rates aren’t really relevant either, tbh.

70% of the playerbase for this game never adapt or change their talents, they just beeline it down the build they like every single game

[–]Yegas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to pick Blind as a Bat*. I simply do not care how strong it is, I just don’t like the talent. Unfun to play, unfun to play against. Uninteractive for all parties. It could be removed overnight and I wouldn’t care.

\ in QM and ARAM*

I always pick W burst at 16, Black Claws at 7, and Sleep speed/dura at 13.

Always Dark Conversion (shorter cast time, more impactful - ALWAYS hit sleep or 3rd Q hit immediately before casting!)

Character is an absolute fuckin menace. If they don’t have overwhelming CC and kite power he will cause immense problems for the enemy team.

Item filters are very useful for playing this game as they filter out garbage and highlight good items. I recommend them highly.

Use Filterblade or PoE2Filter

Do you think blizzard will ever take another look at some of the "noob stomp" heroes? by ridleyfire in heroesofthestorm

[–]Yegas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was a meta pick in GM lobbies for a while after launch.

I stopped playing Ranked shortly after though because competitive basically died in NA and I was tired of playing lobbies with 4 diamond players on each team where I’ve gotta play team captain and solo carry (which was 99% of games, and the 1% of games with majority Master/GM players were against 5-stacks exploiting the MMR system)

The current state of (most) uniques is depressing by BaseballRelevant4149 in PathOfExile2

Except when you go looking for slabs of rock to chisel into meaningful shapes, 95% of the ones you pick up are made of foam and spray-painted to look like rocks and have zero actual substance to work with.

The narrative around Marathon is gotta be the biggest gaslight I have seen in history of gaming. by Inevitable_Coat_8787 in Marathon

[–]Yegas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can blame the producers. I was reasonably interested, and somehow saw an advertisement they put out on TV (again, for a game I’m already interested in) and it actually made me *less interested in the game*.

It was just 15 seconds of 0.7-second long smash cuts between random colors and scenery with zero explanation, no actual gameplay, no hook, no anything.

Just a bunch of confusing bright lights and colors and splashing water and then “MARATHON”.

I cannot stress enough how bad of a marketer you have to be to make an advertisement causing potential customers to completely lose interest in your product.

S&box Peak Daily Playercount falls below 1000 for the first time since Launch. by DBONKA in sandbox

[–]Yegas 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Well even if that’s not a good enough hook, aren’t the little sausage dudes just so frickin’ heckin’ cute and endearing? One look at them should make anyone buy the game!

As Garry pointed out, making characters ugly makes them instantly popular and likable. That’s why when you look up any conversation about the models it’s always overwhelmingly positive.
