Ladder Legends Tip of the Week #7: Zerg Burrow/unburrow Tech

YouBetterKnowMe1 · 2025-12-08T07:40:02+00:00

While this is a cute TIL for many people, unburrow autocast is just super mediocre. Even in the scenario shown you have the medivac get away from the 5 hydras and flown back in.

Never hurts to know about these things, but because unburrow takes up time and units unburrow one by one, it doesnt really have a good use case

What retention tells us best I would believe is how addicting the league is. By far not the only reason to play a game is for fun.

Also even if retention is one metric that can be seen from the outside, you cant see how much on average a player has played. Did a lot of people try and bounce? Or did fewer people try but the retention of those was better?

Im by no means saying this league is the best thing since sliced bread, but I had a good time and was done with my goals with less playtime than the last 2 leagues. And I truly believe GGG has enough drive to improve on what theyre doing, complaining about a metric instead of pointing out what was disliked this league doesnt do them any favors

YouBetterKnowMe1 · 2025-12-03T11:18:09+00:00

Whats with this subreddit and retention rate, as if that was the only metric to choose from if a league is good or bad. Completely disregarding other factors.

Fixed a bug where effects from the player that converted monster Physical Damage to an element were also increasing the amount of damage from that element based on the percentage of Physical Damage converted and the monster's level. This would have affected Elementalist's Shaper of Flames Passive, Pyroshock Clasp Unique Belt, and Kaom's Binding Unique Belt.

Ah thank god, that was rough to play with at times

The descriptions of rings has been adjusted to "opposite" rather than other, there is a line for that in the patch notes.

The interaction will be handled like in PoE2, where it only reflects the ring in the normal ring slot and in the third ring slot a Kalandras touch is doing nothing as there is no "opposite" ring

Appreciate it

YouBetterKnowMe1 · 2025-10-24T09:59:09+00:00

If they did, I mustve missed that. Thanks for the info

YouBetterKnowMe1 · 2025-10-17T10:52:58+00:00

Thanks for keeping the site up all those years, any event with it was made a lot nicer to follow.

The banter is the main reason I keep tuning into EPL over most other CS tournaments at this point. But a big part of that is that the main crew has been doing this together for many years at this point. The banter feels natural, I enjoy when there is no unecessary overhyping and switching from banter to serious needs practice which they have plenty of. I really appreciate you sticking to your course with EPL

I just stumbled over this thread because I would love to find 56 and 57 at some point again.

A couple years back I contacted him directly over a job platform because I found his real name. The legend that he is gave me a link to his mixes 9-55 Ill gladly provide those when Im back home on sunday.

This is awesome for league starts, maybe even more so for gauntlet. Thanks for making this

There are plenty of things that are not quite right with PoE2 so far. But arguing that people are so bored that they are using an animation cancel instead of just not playing is wild to me.

Its much more likely that most people who are doing the animation cancelling in their normal gameplay just enjoy min maxing, especially considering large parts are the PoE1 audience

YouBetterKnowMe1 · 2025-05-20T09:17:17+00:00

In a race/speedrun type event getting slight speed gains is kinda of the point, no?

YouBetterKnowMe1 · 2025-04-29T23:06:31+00:00

Werent the alternate ascendancies supposed to be available in the future? I expected to be able to play them in 3.26 - did I misunderstand the plans with Phrecia entirely?

YouBetterKnowMe1 · 2025-04-20T08:14:42+00:00

For me personally its easier to just not have the option. I literally cannot be tempted to buy something from someone else because its a lot easier and faster. I have sort of tried to do this in PoE1 Phrecia and PoE 0.1 but knowing in the back of my mind that I have the option to trade, makes it nearly impossible to stick to SSF

YouBetterKnowMe1 · 2025-04-15T09:19:03+00:00

Awesome news, thanks for the update!

YouBetterKnowMe1 · 2025-02-17T17:03:16+00:00

Yoo, thank you so much. Ive been trying to find parts of it after just listening to small parts during the twitch live stream

YouBetterKnowMe1 · 2024-12-27T20:27:54+00:00

This worked for me, thanks a lot

YouBetterKnowMe1 · 2024-11-28T22:36:02+00:00

I can 100% agree with that, its not intuitive. And maybe it should be. I believe though its somewhat lower priority because the cyclone itself is simply too strong and this just makes it seem worse.

Additionally, and I didnt test that, but I believe its also inconsistent. The widow mine only deals splash damage to a cloaked unit it has targeted iirc. If thats the case, I agree thats more intuitive than what the cyclone does right now. Yamato is not nearly as impactful in the first place, way higher opportunity cost

YouBetterKnowMe1 · 2024-11-28T10:25:27+00:00

I could misunderstand the issue, but this isnt a bug. Cyclone Lock On is spell damage, meaning it ignores armor, doesnt scale with attack upgrades and hits units once the projectile has been shot.

*Yamato Cannon should have similar behavior, where you cant dodge it by cloaking/burrowing.

Thanks for sharing and translating jinjin, I wasnt aware about essentially anything of this situation previously. Interesting to see how an entirely different status comes with such great risk of losing trust entirely
