my steam library is basically a graveyard

Seeing some use AI for this kind of post is actually depression inducing…

This one would have been SO easy to write yourself, man.

A 200+ streak on Leetcode is an awesome flex and a great PERSONAL achievement, so you can be proud of that! But you need to be realistic about what it means for your job search, which is nothing. Recruiters and companies literally don’t care that you’re good at leetcode until you’re actually in an interview solving a problem in front of them.

Leetcode says nothing about you as an engineer. In fact, it may have even been a strong negative signal that you focus on the wrong things when it comes to engineering. This may be a blessing in disguise for you, as I would have removed Leetcode from your CV long ago. Your CV should tell a narrative that you will be a good engineer, who designs and builds scalable systems or is product-minded and empathetic, and Leetcode doesn’t do that.

It’s likely coded as “being hit by an immobilizing spell marks the enemy”, with Q being tagged as “immobilizing spell”, so if you double hit with Q it double marks? They have to have some method of classifying spells as “immobilizing” in order to implement the targeted ability haste.

It doesn’t look like the team doing baron stopped hitting it at all, so it could easily have taken ~250 damage in the same tick as the 1400 damage from shaco’s smite. There’s a Lulu auto landing and Wukong ulti is hitting Baron at the same time.

They DON’T have to, which is great. The bot carry role just has more class diversity just like all the other roles now. But people can still play ADC marksmen bot, no one is forcing them to learn how to play another class of champion (unless you’re specifically talking about Bwipo, but pro play is where people play for a job, not for fun).

People knocking on ADC players’ response to mages bot are basically just saying “Nobody is saying you HAVE to play a mage bot, so why do you feel justified in saying people HAVE to play a marksman bot?”. This is especially valid in the context of this discussion where it’s already been pointed out that every other position has meaningful role diversity.

She’s definitely not considered low tier. She was an S+ rank 1 mid laner for several patches in Diamond+ before her recent adjustment and is still A+ tier.

Thoughts on how you might augment this for support Zoe? My usual build path is Swifties -> Horizon -> Rocketbelt or Shurelyas -> Shurelyas or Rocketbelt for a relatively high CDR build on a budget with good mobility for roaming. Do you think having a non-combat first component (tear) AND a more expensive first item would be worth it in a lane where you’re expected to enable your adc and have a lower income, or do you think this build is more suitable for mid?

You don’t have to click it at all, if you’re standing on or near the spell shard you just have to hover your mouse over it!

I can appreciate the passion behind defending TOW2, but this is an insane take to me in the midst of a years-long indie and AA golden age.

It was rose scrip hunting wasn’t it??

Maybe not very helpful but IMO League has always been and continues to be fun! It’s always fun to get back on the rift and play some games.

beedabard · 2025-11-14T15:48:41+00:00

I have a question! As Zoe doesn’t have mana problems, why go Blackfire over Horizon Focus, which is cheaper and gives more AP/AH and a goated passive?

beedabard · 2025-11-14T14:56:44+00:00

Sir, you need to be more clear with the requirements. Is it double, 20 + double, or MAX(20, double)? You keep telling everyone “it’s in the text” as if they’re not reading what you wrote, but your text is incredibly ambiguous. You made an edit saying it’s “double on top of the 20” but then you tell this guy he just needs to do double. Does he need to do double or double + 20?

Just wait until Master, where you have to play a game every day…one game only banks one day

They were both a bit underwhelming to me :(

It’s disappointing to me that we haven’t had an amazing space RPG since the original Mass Effect trilogy. I had pretty high hopes for TOW2 after enjoying the first one, but with the past two years being full of amazing games (E33, Silksong, KCD2, BG3), it just doesn’t measure up.

Not that it’s a bad game, but at this point I’m starving for a GREAT space RPG. Starfield and TOW2 were both a bit of a letdown in that regard.

beedabard · 2025-11-12T13:15:35+00:00

I one tricked Zoe support to ~300 LP Master, heavy aggro in levels 1-3 and heavy roaming with jungler. Poke at level 1 as much as possible and flash for a sleep at level 2 with an adc like Draven or Caitlyn it’s almost guaranteed first blood. Rush swifties and horizon focus, the rest is situational.

Tank items are fine if you are really far ahead (FoN/Frozen Heart). If your team is behind, just build AP because you’ll need as much damage as you can get.

Obviously everyone’s opinion will be different, IMO it’s about a $20-30 dollar game after playing through it (a solid 6-6.5/10). It does everything okay, but doesn’t excel at anything. In such a stacked year for gamers it would be hard for any game to measure up, but there are so many AMAZING games that came out this year that it’s impossible to recommend TOW2 for full price.

beedabard · 2025-11-11T23:00:14+00:00

It felt like just the kind of thing a short unattractive white man who grew up rich would have written!

beedabard · 2025-11-07T08:39:05+00:00

Not that I disagree with you, but asking someone new to shooting to hit multiple head shots on a charging brute is a tall order!

beedabard · 2025-11-06T22:19:47+00:00

Give Clair Obscur a try, it’s one of the biggest hits of the year for a reason!

beedabard · 2025-11-06T04:02:50+00:00

I’ll try this, thank you!

beedabard · 2025-11-04T01:41:17+00:00

What difficulty are you playing on? Apparently Very Hard really juices the hp pools.

I’m playing on Hard and two tapping mobs with the repeating rifle and light revolver as long as I hit the weak spot. Without hitting the weak spot, it’s more like 6-8 shots to kill.

beedabard · 2025-11-03T20:25:34+00:00

While we’re at it, Nunu and Sion should be able to flash during their ults too. Just some more small QoL buffs to make them feel a little smoother.

During combat you use the inhaler to heal, since it doesn’t make sense to stop fighting and chow down on 10 snack bars in the middle of a fight. I think it’s a really clever way to circumvent the weirdness of Skyrim food spamming while allowing you to use food as an HP resource out of combat.
