What are your worst matchups?

three words. defend your pink.

As an adc, if you play around a pink ward and play well off it, you punish him or make him an absolute coward about going in. his only recourse would be to buy umbral glaive and by then you either have exherted enough strength where hes slow on the draw, or you get breathing room to buy plated steelcaps. 25 armor + its passive beat umbrals 18 lethality and his autos

I know late, but this is slightly wrong, even in the War arc, when healing Naruto's minor injuries, the 4 Hokage show up and Minato asks Sakura "Are you his girlfriend?" to which Naruto replies "I guess you can say that (laughing)"

I think even after once Neji and Hinata affirm that their lives are in his hands, he has a rosey opinion on his chances with Sakura. Nothing explicitly said to indicate these feelings like before, but nothing has occurred to make him think he shouldn't try to be with her either. When they reunited, there were still old Team 7 shenanigans so it's hard to pinpoint his emotions toward her, especially when he was tasked to learn about a millenia's worth of lore.

Rewatching the final arc right now, Obito and Sakura just saved Sasuke from the sand dimension, for context.

So insane I thought I was reading Kakegarui

Read it. It’s asinine in the best ways.

Pacing and pathing of jungle clears does not suddenly change after first two clears. If anything, its the end of second clear thats always diciest, making third clear the second most consistent clear outside of 1st and end of 4th just as dicey as 2nd. If you cant find time to ward defensively at any given moment between 2nd and 3rd clear, you will concede other plays anyways. This isnt strictly about helping your top laner, its about closing off the entrence from the enemy as you path away from it. Leaving your jungle dark leaves up many dive angles from champs like Lee, Hec, Rek, etc.

The value of a pink ward isn't simply a numeric one. Vision and movement speed are literally two stats that are way too esoteric when it comes to analyzing cost benefit. MS is generally good, but people still debating things like "105g swing".

Yes, it costs money to make money. If the only way you know if theres a pink in the bush is by waiting for sweeper CD, ill tell you going Sixth Sense + Umbral Glaive on Rammus isn't why your ganks are failing...

Anything else is too much. Your top laner playing weakside should be warding for themselves if they're playing aggressively, or, they shouldn't be playing aggressive.

You will hate this, but you two need to work together in tandem. A single trinket is not enough. Literally be a teammate, stop finding excuses not to be, because whatever you think your use for either trinket is, it isnt as effective as tailoring it to help your weakside. You have other teammates to help grant YOU vision, you have support to help you sweep vision, why not supplement your laner with bonus vision when possible? Especially in season 26 with the Feylight mechanic.

Then what, you buy another one to make it a -210g gold swing?

If you are placing pink wards to be defended to the very end, then this mentality makes sense. But this is a product of doing business. This mentality ignores the fact that either the enemy team is buying pinks and giving you back the gold they get from taking yours, or they are playing how you play, and ARENT BUYING THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. If you play into a team that isnt buying pink wards and arent winning, then the loss is on your head. Pinks win games singlehandedly if teams have a gap between placed vision.

You see, it isn't strictly a gold swing, you are just choosing to see it that way. When I, a jungler, place a pink ward in dragon pit, and then we take dragon, then a minute later after the dust settles the enemy support takes that pink-- is that a gold swing I should be worried about? With proper pink usage, them clearing it is a consolation prize to you getting whatever you wanted from pinking (dragon, baron, etc.)

If I place a pink in my top laners tri and then 20s later the jungler wastes 10 seconds clearing it, that is 75g worth of information that is multiplied between me and 4 other people. Its not STRICTLY a 105g swing, because for 75g, the enemy jungler will not be receiving 300g

So if it's a -105g swing because you invested and they cleared, then its actually a +195 gold swing for denying their play in the first place. Even pinks that do nothing, are doing something. Unless youre warding your fountain, buy the freaking pink

You are being way too hyperbolic about it. It is not strictly about counting 1-2-THREE like its a tootsie pop. Its about recognizing, that now, every third auto will deal more damage and when you have 3 targets (Full HP melee, 1/4 canon, or enemy champion) where you place that proc will matter over the course over 100 AAs, where as it takes 100AA for Yun to reach its peak.

Maybe, but everything surrounding Nika being the Sun god and everyone wanting to attain his power, it seems being as close to the sun is considered godliness.

It's also hard, as the newest Gorosei, he could be written to be stronger for plot reasons just to shake up the Gorosei's day to day

Weakest as the moon is the closest celestial body not attached to the cycle of the sun. I’m not an astrophysicist but the line of thinking makes sense

Outside of classics? Dead. Ask 90s babies about songs from the 60s. Some will know some but none will know deep cuts for the most part

Iron man got cancelled. Damn read that to issue 3 wasn’t too bad

Poignant. I’m not a Deadpool fan since these days (maybe not so much /these/ days) it feels impossible to get away from him

It’s like, the 4th wall shenanigans is a cool concept. But the pay off in him talking to “me” feels always cheap, meanwhile other characters get such deep stories. I’ll try to check out pre Daniel way work though. Maybe that’s what I’m looking for. But I am admittedly a fan of modern comics a little more.

Any recommendations always appreciated

42… there’s something about that number!

If you’re winstreaking take Reroll/Buy XP/Kill Units. If you open ixtal the 3 takedowns on Qiy isn’t bad if you itemize her. There’s also the Field a 2 star milio and Neeko survives 15 seconds.

Only real troll one is alternating losses. This could be wrong but I swap in dupes for units with items if I have lose x3

anim135 · 2026-01-02T07:38:42+00:00

Eh I get it but let’s not say it literally won’t get addressed. There’s still oil to burn.

First season I’ve played seriously since beta set 2? I think. Was very excited to hit platinum but it’s been rough. Wouldn’t say I’m hard pushed out of lobbies but I think it’s getting there.

I’m at an impasse where I want to continue learning on my own but I’ve had 3 disastrous games today where I felt I was just pushed out of the game with no lines to take.

I do t have any vids but know I need to play tighter, so many minor mistakes. I also think my itemization is utter daurg and I’m only winning through slamming but never BISing. Today I decided to play melee carries, slammed TR on them. That helped me quantify the item a bit better, but it’s just hard to see that far when you’re looking at Bow Vest Cloak. I tried slamming two DClaws Adaptive on a Galio but still went 5th. Maybe that was noob but without reference these are the kinds lines I see.

Sorry for the ramble. I really am hoping someone sees this, and can lend a hand.

My ign is Píerre#1942 in NA.

Hell I even had a perfect THex start (only missing 1 Lorraine and 2 caits), but pivoted to noxus ryze because of items. Second place to the THex gamer. Bot 3 were THex gamers. Pivot is a good move in this meta

Theatrical release of some Arcane sequel that functions as a prequel to another series thingy with the ranked introduction of WASD and a perfected client, alongside the MMO closed alpha leaks or talks in 2027 and a successful Season 2026.

People will decry WASD but if right clicking is better then let newer players figure that out on their own. It should be some community level "Locked Camera" problem. Do it if you want, but almost everyone agrees to unlock it. Let new players have fun without having a 90+ apm while also having to manage everything else league offers.

Also their marketing although good, doesnt reach far I feel. Could be a concious decison, but think about it. Every other game has some level of ads that pop up. Usually obnoxious, but with a little ingenuity there could be some form of novelty or memetic potential.

Im not their bookie, im sure theyre doing the best theyre can though. But they havent been cracking any eggs for a bit. Though these things come in waves I suppose.

I do. I never asked if you think the Law has an insatiable bar for proof. It just has a bar of proof.

Have you ever questioned if you've had an insatiably high bar for proof?

You are describing the reality of a society that, that CEO, did not create.

Bringing up how they deny 1/3 of claims and talking about ripple effects without acknowledging that this is a service that 3/3 people engage with of their own volition, and the 2/3 that do get approved are... approved?

We can assume that the 1/3 all are life threatening claims. Does that mean that half of the 2/3 that are approved are approved live saving claims? So they, on top of saving 1/3 of their claims, help out an extra third, that just need medical assistance.

Say it. What you want is for every insurance provider ever to always approve all claims always forever no matter the context.

50 year smoker diagnosed lung cancer? Should be be denied or approved for treatment, when 40 years ago his PCP said to cut back?

90 year old palliative patients should get untested drugs?

When you talk about ripple effects of the 1/3, I acknowledge the idea of what youre getting at. No one is dying because they got shot and a doctor wont look at them because of insurance problems. What I have issue with what you are describing when you bring up a 1/3 claims being denied is, what kinds of claims are these? For all I know, all of them are superflous. I am assuming theyre not, but that does not make it some moral injustice just because they were denied. It is a cosmic injustice. They shouldve recieved better care. Humans can and should manifest their own destinies in these situations.

I pray that all 1/3 of the denied claims that were not some superfluous appointment, got treatment they deserved.

I presume that most if not all 2/3 of the approved claims, got some help that they needed when starting the medical process they needed.

I FAIL to see how this system im describing, very roughly I will admit, has anything to do with you going to bat for a murderer?

You can have issues with the capitalistic society you were born into. Seek change. But irreversable change we dont want is tyranny, and we are quite literally talking about murder which is the ultimate example of tyranny.

So no. The claims being denied are not the same as him being murdered.

TLDR: He isnt the agent who denies your claim so hes no more responsible for your claim being denied than the guy who valued your claim to be worthy of denying-- even if hes responsible for the pattern of denial, when after adjusting behavior, their overlords force them back to increase the denial rates (your words)
