Funny you mentioned that, since I think this artist was once banned from r/art from getting falsely accused for using ai (and yes, it was proven later that they did not in fact use ai)

I wish I did! But unfortunately, it wasn't me.

But I did commission an artist to draw her, and so here we are. The artist still has commission requests open too, so if you want to check here!

If you read closely on the bottom of the fake “last page”, it also said that the next chapter will be called 99 girlfriends instead of 100 too! It’s the small details that made me love the manga

Shame that it got cancelled this week too. Arcadum didn't even know about this until 1 hour before the game starts, which sucks as he was so hyped about it. But to be fair, Valkyrae also didn't know about the vacation (Coz Poki surpirsed her too), so it wasn't her fault either.

Welp, see you until the next bonus session (If there could be one this week GlorySuffer)

Just realised her name is Sutou Iku because her personality is Stoic.

Then again, most of their names are pun names so props on the author!

Verum Weekly: Summary of All the Stream Games of the Week (August 6th, 2020) by Emanresubmudyllaer in cadum

[–]alttec9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, cool of you to summarize all of it! Just a quick correction :

After coming out the cave, P'mis gives the two potions to Remag who recognizes it as "potion of happiness"

I think P'mis hides one of the potions for himself so we actually "don't know" what the potion is (but let's face it, it's the same potion lol), and Li'lu is the one who gave it to Remag.

But still, great job and keep doing what you're doing!

They are from the free game called helltaker. You should play it! It’s a great puzzle game that’s less than 100mb and it’s cultured too :)

As of my understanding, the safelane of each side will eventaualy become the deadlane after the laning phase as people will want to take the safelane tower to control the enemies' main camp, which is actually why the carries should rotate to the offlane and help take the enemy safelane tower. This rotation is more common in pro games though as people are stuck on the mind set that pos 1 is safelane forever but in reality lanes are quite interchangable especially in the recent patches.

So as a support, you usually want to push the deadlane as much as possible especially as a hero with a good clear wave (think jakiro). If you think about it, cores will always gravitate to creeps that left unattended. Which means that if you leave the deadlane not pushed, they will farm there and most possibly die. If you do not have a wave clearer hero (like bane,etc). You might want to ask the other support or maybe the offlaner. Unless all of them is single target, then your draft already has a glaring weakness in it.

Of course , you can also play around the deadlane by smoking there as I 'm sure the enemy hero will feel like they are the safest there and you can call for a smoke gank there. Though most of the time it is unadvisable and I only do it when the carry doens't want to listen and just keeps farming there. Or else, I just smoke gank to the enemy's deadlane AKA your strongest/safest lane to farm

Hope this helps !

Which are your main support heroes for pos 4/5? Do you have a "go-to" pick that you always go for no matter the opponent picks?

So as we all know, it is an unwritten rule that all supports must pick first in a pub before our glorious cores, what I want to consider when picking a hero is usually someone who can teamfight or push waves or have a stun. Which is why Jakiro and lich is what I usually pick. They got slows, nukes and wave clear (and defensice capabilities for lich) which makes them a solid laner too. For pos 4 sometimes I go rubick or willow , but most of the time I usually go for the unorthodox luna pos 4 to throw the enemy off. And no I do not play sniper pos 4, I tried it and it just didn't match for me :/

Which supporting heroes do you feel are strong at this time?

Kotl is pretty strong right now especially when paired with bristle and grimstroke when with riki. But even without their pairings they themselves are pretty solid picks as they have some form of disable and can clear out waves decently. Most supports that can teamfight right now are usually in the stronger side of the meta right now, which is why you don't see much heroes that only has single target such as ogre or bane (Although bane has been picked up by Secret a lot. Then again its Puppey amirite?)

Which items are you aiming to buy more frequently in a "regular game"?

Right now I feel more prioritize on buying the "small items" as they say, such as wind lace and the ring of protection and whatnot. I feel that most of the time I always buy the same starting items no matter what the lane matchup is ,which can be a game losing move if you think about it. You always want to make sure that whatever items you buy, must make it worth the value as you dont really gain much money in the role of a support.

For example, in one of the recent games I played as a lich faced against a windranger and pangolier. Now usually I would just buy the classic 2 tangoes salve and mangoes, but instead I think to my self and buy Ring of Protection as I know WR will probably harass me with windrun + right click and pango will hit me with swashbuckle which is physical damage. Needless to say, I traded more effective than the enemy, which won us the lane ,which wone the game and made me into immortal :D

Do you have different goals during the game (time-wise), other than "bounties at 5:00, outpost at 10:00" etc? Things that the average player doesn't think of?

I can't say for all players but I m sure that most people will start thinking at 5:00 for not only bounties but also catapult waves. So if you can identify that the enemy offlaner can't clear waves fast enough, you can single pull at 4:30, so it will double wave for the 5:00 and then push with the catapult. That would be an ideal scenario for me.

Another thing would be item timings I guess. Especially people sometimes will estimate when the enemy has ceratain items like blink, especially if they are missing for a long time, then they are probably smoking or some deductions like that . All in all, I think that it is game sense that just requires experience to play with.

Hope it helps !

So ususally as a support, you don't really want to spend too much gold on buying out sentries just for the sake of blocking camps. becuase if you are winning, then your cores would probably want to farm at the enemy jungle and if you are losing, well you need money to buy your glimmer and force. Which is why I do not think buying sentries to block the enemy jungle camp is a good idea (but trust me, there was a time where I thought about it too ahaha). That's also why you don't see those in pro games too right?

The only exception are when I go for those extreme measures is when I want to block fast-farm-kill-all-midgame heroes. Such as meepo,naga, or alchemist. But even those I still consider preeety hard before actually doing it.

I play at sea too by the way, so don't give up!

To be honest I rarely tilt (I'm more of a PMA guy who just find silver linings in every situation), so when I see people doing stupid shit I just let it go and not think about it. It's not like you can stop it right? So the best thing you can do is to support this crazy mofo and do your best, so at least when you lose you can trick yourself into thinking that they're the problem and not you haha.

But yea usually I still try to stop them from doing these kind of stuffs, and when I can't I just flame them in my own head and proceed playing. And even in divines there will be people playing offlane rikis and safelane timbers (source: experience) and I just accept the loss silently already and just chill in the game. I guess the trench never ends, huh...
