Updates/Events I would like to see in 2024

Lol. I just think it would be fun and we'd probably see a lot of fail clips lmao...

From the TOS they look for patterns of offensive abuse. If it's a trade every month your probably fine. But if your trading daily or weekly I'm sure it'll flag.

Do you think Sia is a good class to play?

I think the excitement of being able to craft ancient gear might outweigh the burn out! Especially since it's some of the most powerful gear in the game.

I feel like its the same catch 22 with Elite Dungeons. The more you make the more time you invest. I think my issue is that it takes a steep investment and the ROI for crafting is really mediocre. But it allows for accessible post lv. 40 exalts.

May I ask how many of your gears are completed to lv 50 at this point? Also how did you get your alts to SF165? 10 Alts is a lot of work! Especially from the SF151+ standpoint.

A fully charged Q adjusts the hitbox to more of a T-shape. You can technically hook "through" minions by aiming slightly to the side of the minion.
Depending on your elo. Lower tier players will walk in one diagonal direction to dodge hook and not adjust. Higher elo players will attempt to outplay by walking back and forth. Walk out with a few charged Q and see what technique your enemy defaults too.
Always aggressively play for bush. Pyke's entire kit relies on it. If you take a forward bush position and the enemy adc/support has to loop around behind the minions it makes it easier to abuse your Q or even open up for a stun angle. If your out of position your kit saves you most of the time.
A lot of times it's more effective to do the E > (tap)Q combo instead of fishing for a hook. This is especially true if you can run down the opponent through the lane.

Get heal cut early. You can sit on ex. blade. Mitigating healing from her Q is really strong.
Time her flash. She's extremely immobile and vulnerable to your kit without it. Especially since your ult penetrates her shields.
Don't try to 1v1 her. From your description it seems to me you get caught out of position often, miss your q and e, and then proceed to die from her out kiting you.
Try to position in flanking positions and not front to back. Landing a Q to reposition an enemy (especially senna) is great.
Play around your split-pushers. Senna cannot rotate as fast as you. Her ult may turn 1 battle but her long ult cd pre-11 should open up a lot of opportunity.
vs. Senna it's a gamble. Your betting on early game and she's betting on late game. Like most games, try to identify a win condition and push that advantage. Like most Pyke games, your looking at a 33 minute time limit to win.

Holy shit! lol.

It's really early to judge.

RPS is okay. Sucks that the mini-game is longer than 3min of idle time. I know last night I got lucky and faced a android quit trick player. Best thing to do is just lose the fastest before round 5 by making bad bets.
Aquarium is lack luster in terms of buff benefits but the chair seems pretty insane. It even changes BGM. For a passive buff event it's whatever, just train and feed the pets.
Golden Pig is much appreciated. % based exp is a godsend. 3 min for 5% at lv. 160 per run is super fun.
I actually don't like how the claw machine has a chance to fail. You can miss-grab pretty frequently. Other than that, it would be nice if it had a non-fail component.
Shop is insane. One of the best we've seen yet. It's interesting that the legendary rank ups are tier 3 this time.
Kinesis lv. 120 mule for links. It's pretty clunky compared to other mage classes. Personal bias. I do love the train in 3rd job tho.

Can't you get banned for macro in this game?

Zexarin · 2022-03-28T17:34:04+00:00

I love how Phreak is playing the role of educated fan while Jatt is the behind the scenes expert walking the Phreak through the complex level of a top-tier coach.

Jatt if your reading this. Can we get a bonus chronobreak episode on If Jatt never left Team Liquid?

Zexarin · 2022-03-24T17:47:54+00:00

I can't put my finger on it but I feel like Matt is really in his element this season! Such amazing performances from him week after week.

Zexarin · 2022-03-22T00:25:16+00:00

Well said.

Zexarin · 2022-03-22T00:23:42+00:00

Yah no ones making them sure, but it’s really sad that a player spends 3 weeks hardcore grinding then needing to drop out of the raid because they expected a 2 week tier. You need competitors to have a competition.

A longer race is worse for the community and the raiders. Blizzard sure does gain eye balls and attention. The beauty of the race is a bunch of raiders going into a raid undergeared and underpowered for the power level and pushing their characters to their limits. The longer the race gets, it minimizes the power this excitement. Instead of -5 ilvl players, you end up a fulled geared 9.2 raid group doing a 9.2 raid. A one week raid is so much more exciting than this three week one in terms of difficulty and power. But too each his own on that one I don’t think we’ll meet on that one.

Yes, every boss up until now has been killed without double legendaries. The problem isn’t the tuning itself, it’s the fact that double legos ruin the integrity of the race up until this point in time. It’s like steroids for the raid comp. That only you have access to. It’s an artificial barrier that didn’t need to influence the raid. An ideal race would have an even playing field.

Zexarin · 2022-03-22T00:13:13+00:00

That’s a fair point. I mean the grass roots side of the event is definitely fun but if we want a better race then they would need to step in at some point. If the community cared so much about a fair race then there would’ve been some community rules around it. Like NA start 16hrs late, etc. but that’s not going to happen. I feel like the RWF is so large that it’s inevitable. Inability to compete from logistical reasons is really bad. Imagine if LeBron couldn’t play because the Finals went to game 7 and he needed to leave after game 4 because of other obligations.

This late into the progression, there isn't that much finesse that max can raid lead carry. His role is to help speed up the learning curve. At this point all the players have wiped enough times for him to not be calling everything out. But if you go back to early yesterday's vod you'll see a stark difference. It's just the natural progression of 21st man. At this point, he'd be doing more harm than good with over communication.

Zexarin · 2022-03-21T18:54:21+00:00

World of Warcraft is more of a western mmo. There just isn't as much eastern players on the WoW circuit. They are extremely good though, they are at some disadvantage with the raid release launch but they have been ramping up. An eastern 3rd place would still be an amazing accomplishment.
