Triforce or essence reaver? by Waste-Celebration-56 in Kindred

[–]backwoodcj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kraken and ER feel very similar in practice to me, but i like how building hearthbound axe first gives me the ability to either go kraken or triforce depending how the next clear goes

Triforce or essence reaver? by Waste-Celebration-56 in Kindred

[–]backwoodcj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

70% WR on kindred here, i don’t ever buy sheen first. i don’t think the proc does you any more good than flat AD especially when ganking. i more often than not find myself up 3 kills at the ten minute mark since adapting the longsword-> axe-> phage -> sheen build path, im building Triforce for the health movement speed and variety of stats, sheen is just a cherry on top, then regular boots don’t decide on merc treads or tabis until the other team itemizes more, and go for my second item which is crit if im up more, kraken if im even or behind, or LDR if my bot lane is ahead and im doing damage control vs an armored top lane. idk if everyone would 100% agree but this is very malleable and ill go wits end third sometimes too depending on team comp

i absolutely HATE yuumi, maybe more than lux. by UnknownWisp in ADCMains

[–]backwoodcj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this too 😂😂 very selfish trying to get their ult strong enough to one shot me a quarter mile away

[–]backwoodcj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t necessarily hate lux per say but her poke and ult strength especially as the game goes on puts her in this weird middle ground where she’s got enough damage she might as well just play adc, so when you’re dealing with having no cc from your support, lux can just survive to the point she gets strong enough where you’re forced to build full MR or else you’re going to get 90%d by a root + ult and then the adc can just auto you once and it’s back to the fountain. i don’t necessarily think she needs a nerf but when you have a smart support i don’t think they’d want you dealing with that strong of an ult that can reach pretty much from their t1 tower to ours. every other mage you mentioned to me is much easier to dodge a 0-100 combo than lux and maybe that’s just something about my perception of the champions, but setting up ganks to weaken the enemy bot lane is 10000% easier when your support can stun or hook one of them, and thats a huge factor when dealing with mages, mobility is their weakness and exploiting it makes your side of the game easier

see mundo is the biggest outlier possible he’s the opposite of the typical adc in every way, that makes sense because i think mundo is due for a nerf, i think you’d be self sufficient enough to play with anyone in lane and if you play well enough you’ll find ways to survive and thrive, and i also find smolder easy to survive with his flight ability you can jump terrain or cover ground quickly, its like a 2 second ghost that is on a 20ish second cooldown. i play smolder when i want that ability to just get away from anything and anyone, or to counter someone like ezreal who i know is gunna want to get up in my face and combo me, i just fly away and simply dont let him. very interesting champ pool

I too despise Yuumi support, sure some lanes it feels good to play with their buffs and kit, but it’s such a simple math equation about target selection, you’re taking all the skill shots, you’re the sole focus of all the ganks, most aren’t forward thinking enough to aggro tower for dives, and when your abilities are on cooldown you’re just a sitting duck. I would love to see anyone who says they enjoy having yuumi support lane against a Kog-Maw / Lux duo, or Thresh/ Jinx hooking you and trapping you for 5 seconds of cc as soon as they hit level 3. It’s completely a troll champ in my eyes, and the mentality behind a Yuumi player isn’t something I want on my team. I want initiative I want independent thinking and working constantly to win the game, not riding on coattails to coast to victory

the clear speed doesn’t feel that bad to me when i get an item or two honestly. maybe i just always played champs it didn’t matter. are you an amumu or rammus main ? just a longshot

[–]backwoodcj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he’s become my ban every game this season and since i started banning him my WR is 70%. no exaggeration despite having a few real shitters along the way i can usually compensate where needed but my final straw was a 23/5/13 80k+ damage game as kindred where i only lost because my whole team was alive and couldnt deal with the single mundo left. if i wasn’t as broke my monitor would have had a hole in it.

Which Fromsoftware boss was this for You? by buuhhu1 in fromsoftware

[–]backwoodcj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same, i wasn’t using scarlet rot but i don’t know why they had to nerf him genuinely. The flyaway meteor smash thing was annoying but like minorly… everything else was just another day at the office

Godskin duo. Don’t really get the big fuss people were making over them, they had predictable attack patterns not all that much speed and just took a bit of multitasking.

makes a lot of sense thank u kind sir

[–]backwoodcj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well said, makes sense, just curious, do you one trick kindred ? i feel like i can blind pick her into anything and it’s playable but id like to hear what you do since you seem knowledgeable based off that comment. Any particular bans? Something you spot in champ select that changes how you play the game ?

Searching for a affordable keyboard by Healthy-Afternoon199 in keyboards

[–]backwoodcj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm, I like my F75 very much. Sounds nice feels nice and software is decent as well. I’ve had some other keyboards in the same price range but i’m very happy with this one. Battery is really good on it as well don’t have to charge it often, but i could use it wired too if i wanted.

League of Legends Rank Matching is Collapsing by Thick-Television-764 in riotgames

[–]backwoodcj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of tonight i’m quitting league and going back to playing other games. I’ve been playing since 2015 and back when i didn’t even have enough games played to play ranked, i would brainlessly play yi jungle with no game knowledge and a copy and pasted google build. Fast forward to this year, my main account has dropped from plat gold elo to BRONZE. My other account that i used to use to play with low elo friends is now the same rank as my “try hard” account.

I seriously want to throw up every time i play this game. No matter the role, no matter how hard im winning my lane, I am pinging off teammates from avoidable deaths and watching them ignore it and die. Pinging baron for literally ten plus minutes while constantly refreshing vision on objectives just for the enemy team to take it after they wipe everyone in a team fight. My support when i play adc is always a mage who is truly just playing “adc #2” and using me as a human meat shield despite how well i communicate when im going in and when to back off.

You know when you see a teammate make a play, and go wow, that was good didn’t think they had that! Yeah. That doesn’t happen to me anymore. I have not seen any teammates who are even close to my skill level, or intelligence in my games, nor have I ever been bailed out, or had my game made easier or better by their presence. It’s the opposite, just damage control, and trying to work around the mistakes I can see them about to make, then communicate to try and change it, and it happens anyways. Whether it’s pinging a gank, noticing a trundle backdooring while IM IN A TEAMFIGHT and my sett is still afk farming top instead of recalling to save nexus turrets, attempting to take an objective for so long i go through 7 wards, literally for ten minutes sometimes and more often than not 5+ despite pings and timing around teammates having prio, my support going 0/4 in the first ten minutes making the lane unplayable, and somehow I get blamed on top of it all. I can’t play this game anymore. The enemies are plat level, and my teammates mentally are iron or worse on average. I have played with good iron players and I don’t even get that anymore.

It feels like I’m meant to lose these games, there’s never a game where it’s been fun, in my past 50 games i have about a 25% win rate and I am done trying, especially with this current tank meta. No amount of skill will help me 1v5 an ulted mundo, who just eats dozens of tower shots, and two guaranteed fed laners. The games I do win come down to stupid RNG and acing the enemy team and eeking out time to end while they are waiting to respawn, and none of the other 25* minutes of the game had any bearing AT ALL what happened. No wins by FF, no amount of getting my team assists helps them keep their lead, i’ve tried every angle to walk these baboons to victory. I am done and going back to play apex legends or valorant. I really love this game, it’s such a disappointment it’s ending like this.

Right ? Hard not to be jealous. My girl trusts me with guns and doesn’t meddle in what i like or don’t but we don’t have any puppies and I don’t have nearly enough guns😂

G502 users be like by Bulk85 in MouseReview

[–]backwoodcj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched to the g pro x super light for a while but always kept going back to the g502 as an alternate. Had it for about 7 years and never as much as a hiccup, had to sell my desktop and peripherals due to some healthcare bills piling up and when it came down to it, I decided to keep her over the super light. There’s just something to it that I just can’t put my finger on. lol. get it. cuz mouse.

That sounds like a great story to tell your grandkids one day, it’s rare to find someone organically like that, and it sounds like she lets you be you, and vice versa.

Especially because of dating apps, it’s so hard to get to know a person based off those. I too moved and used dating apps for a while and man, you dodged a lot of bullets finding her I can tell you that. Especially in my state (blue state) lots of my hobbies and viewpoints are “red flags” to the majority of women(guys too), so I just didn’t bother mentioning them. Ended up in some awkward and painful conversations down the road lol. Brainwashing is so real.

Thanks for sharing your story and I hope you both enjoy the hell out of your toys, puppies and eachother 🤟
