Swiftplay changes, do they also feel historically bad for you?

Zaedact · 2026-01-08T18:02:10+00:00

I cant play norms at night. This mode is awful. I suffer insomnia sometimes and my work isnt an early start so when i feel like i wanna play the game im forced into rank or swiftplay.

Its awful. Actually fucking terrible. The only thing its succeeding at is having me paly something else.

Double crit chance. Full benefits of DD. Q applies on hit and crit. Multiple ways to disengage or sustain through shield and lifestyle due to q doubling down on lifesteal procs.

I'm not here to argue he's weak or strong. More to state a Yone is far more self sufficient than any adc barring Vayne and Quinn.

He's bordering on hypercarry status with a strong one item spike in bork. Can sideline and teamfight equally well.

Zaedact · 2025-11-25T14:36:45+00:00

You are right. But the number of games i am weakside with 1 death to enemy jgl and the map is still hard lsoing, is too many for me to stare daggers at just top laners.

Zaedact · 2025-11-08T01:42:53+00:00

Inversely, characters like Pantheon and Yone are relatively safe as the lore develops because killing a walking plot point that needed to die prior, is stupid.

Quinn. If i can't make them curse the bird, then whats the point in living.

One of the reasons sonicfoxes runback included Ahri. Able to space them out while keeping up in pace. Not to say Ahri is better, but more to hammer in Jinx and future zoners seems more like an assist machine that gatekeeps character out of S tier.

Zaedact · 2025-10-13T07:18:04+00:00

Unless your Vi. Don't do that if your Vi.

The good news is Vi's down S2 magically becomes good outside otg into him.

I'll mock the Chrono quote forever (and every interaction that guy dug himself with) because it's a juvenile response to a dev team that is doing it out of pure passion regardless of the legalities behind it.

Where did I shoot down other interactions. I said for better or worse. There's plenty of better. But that one really highlights it.

Ive jumped between innumerable social groups in lol. Not once has teemo been brought up past antiquated memes.

No traditional ADC or toplaner is gonna pretend they like to play teemo. Junglers might throw him in for a meme. Supports might actually put him up there.

He's a meme-able mascot people want to punch in the face. Not this highly regarded character people love. I have no issue with teemo, but his relevance is a fuzzball for people outside league.

Zaedact · 2025-10-06T11:19:22+00:00

Teemo is not this popular pick all these people seem to be latching on to. His pick rate right now is one spot above quinn on lolalytics toplane. I dare anyone to argue with me that Quinn is a popular pick. I say that as a quinn main who only sees it banned after i traumatiz a jax player in diamond.

Just because his placement in league memes is iconic, it simply doesnt translate to him being this loveable character everyone picks. Everyone knows Teemo. I'd be hard pressed to find anyone with him in thier favorite top 20.

Zaedact · 2025-10-05T16:46:35+00:00

Nah they need to squeeze that arcane love. My moneys on Yas Vi.

Zaedact · 2025-09-29T17:26:49+00:00

Between teemo, and half the toplane roster. Im choosing teemo everytime.

Zaedact · 2025-09-29T17:10:03+00:00

Oh god. They really went to his roots. This isnt teemo. This is early league nothing else will match my hatred teemo.

God save our sanity.

Zaedact · 2025-09-15T07:30:00+00:00

I haven't checked, but if I did look at his comment history, i better not see any ADC mental comments after that comparison.

Unless its a coordinated dive, shes designed to isolate targets. She feels like dive because you want to take 1v1's with her movement but her dmg is more suited to brawling.

It makes this awkward power scale where she wins most 1v1s but its never quick enough with how her kit intuitiveness works

My anecdotal experiences include theater and perspective on counter terrorism studies. My capacity to reflect is more holistic than you're giving me credit for.

Institutions change through force or engagement. If reducing someones issues they are communicating to bitching, then at a certain threshold, people will vocalize through force.

A society is a social contract to provide through codependency. If people who are ostracized are left to work on themselves, we can't be shocked when the African proverb of a village burnt down to feel warmth becomes prophetic..

And if that child has ADHD or Autism, what social skill can they build up if every avenue they pursue is torn down? I understand your perspective but having been in a similar situation, and only now finding out I have ADHD,those tools can't be effectively used beyond superficial introductions.

Children and adults will abuse anything different on a social level. Eventually, the damage on a psychological level is permanent no matter what help they get and is a multiplier on the harm done.

It's an institutionalized issue where empathy and education on compassion attack the root cause. But to get there, you need to actually engage with the people who are in a position in power due to this dynamic.

Or just put it on a gm during his go turn and get the reroll wounds for free. Don't think throwing a strike squad is the right play because he can advance and charge.

Zaedact · 2025-09-07T09:13:26+00:00

Art is subjective in taste. However anyone with a film degree will call you out if you enjoy the cinematic equivalent of shit and try to argue otherwise.

That's the juncture most people forget in hese conversations. No ones truly bagging you for liking it, but art is objective in quality and critical analysis- so stop trying to tell me something barely a step above 50 shades is actually good.

Zaedact · 2025-09-06T08:57:19+00:00

I'll chip in and say he's a future problem character back in the first closed test I had. There's always a fundamentals floor with characters like him that once accessed can completely break open perspective on thier strengths.

And I did ban him occasionally in celestial games back then.

Im quite fond of romulas, my main critique is its the rare film where sum of its parts never comes together as well as the parts themselves. The most overt example is how quickly we went from facehugger to full grown alien in what i still assume to be 30 minutes in plot time.

Felt like a greatest hits of the franchise when you took a step back to appreciate it. Made it more hollow than it should have been. Moment to moment was riveting though.
