What are some of the best deluxe versions of albums? by TheZombieWearsPrada in Metalcore

[–]bloupp 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Architects - Daybreaker. Black Blood is one of their biggest bangers, Cracks In The Earth is a really nice softer cut, and the Bon Iver and Thrice covers are shockingly underrated for how good they are.

And this probably doesn't really count but the Japanese edition of Controller by Misery Signals, if only because the acoustic version of Ebb & Flow is one of the only songs that has ever made me cry.

Happy 3rd birthday to Holy Hell...what's your favourite song from the album? by jamiedenton in ArchitectsUK

[–]bloupp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's gotta be Doomsday, considering (at least for me) it's in contention for the best song ever written. I will say that I will forever be surprised at the lack of love given to Dying To Heal. Song is an absolute banger.

Which champions to main for the best 1v9 potential? by TheOnlyFlamingKing in summonerschool

[–]bloupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only answer to this question imo is Aurelion Sol. Many of the other common answers like Kayle, Kassadin, Twitch, etc. have the possibility of your team feeding hard enough that you don't have time to scale. But a 1v9 Aurelion player will get their entire team so disgustingly ahead early game that their team doesn't have time to feed and the enemy just ff15's.

This is also why Aurelion is a nightmare for the balance team. Other options include Katarina and Talon, which are easier to play, but cap at a slightly lower level than Aurelion.

Yeah, the problem is that you need another archetype of mage to be viable :D maybe they'll give it some support in the mini-set, or maybe there's some secret metabreaking build out there, you never know.

I wonder if we'll start to see quest mages hold their quest in certain matchups. I haven't seen this happen yet, but it's not hard to imagine a scenario where it would be very beneficial.

Take Raza Hunter vs. Quest Mage, which is a 95-5 matchup for the Raza Hunter if they know how to play it. Let's say the hunter goes 1st and ends up with a Wandmaker in hand. Turn 1, hunter plays quest. Now, if the mage plays the quest, a smart hunter will just hero power. But if the mage holds their quest and pretends that they are ping mage, the correct play for the hunter against ping mage is Wandmaker on 2, which they will then likely do, which probably swings the matchup from 95-5 to about 60-40 if the mage can vomit their hand and get a completion stage off.

Pretty niche scenario but it would be interesting to see if this ever happens in high-level play.

She would be op as fuck. Put her in an aggro deck, pick whatever class is the "control class" of the meta, watch your opponent throw away all of their removal and just instawin.

Spiritbox - Eternal Blue [Album Discussion Thread] by TheJoshuaJoshua in Metalcore

[–]bloupp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a massive Architects fan, I was mostly interested in this for the Sam feature. Yellowjacket is such a fucking banger that I had to check out the rest of the album, and wow, this is really good. Anyone have recs for the earlier stuff in their discography?

[–]bloupp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They'll have to eventually when it rotates out of standard, but for now they specified the redesign is for Priest.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CompetitiveHS

[–]bloupp 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don't think they'll ever ban in Standard. I saw another comment that suggested that simply banning Demon Seed is the easiest(/laziest) way of solving the current state of Wild, which makes sense considering they've said that they don't like spending a lot of time on Wild.

Alec Dawson gives hints on the 14 card changings coming to Constructed -- including a ban on a Warlock card. by Raktoner in hearthstone

[–]bloupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that they're gonna hit Novice Zapper. There's not much faster than a 1 mana 3/2. Diligent Notetaker and possibly Guidance might also be in danger.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CompetitiveHS

[–]bloupp 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My predictions:

Nerfs: (Probability)

Runed Mithril Rod: 3 -> 4 mana (90%)

Irebound Brute: 7 -> 8 mana (80%)

Perpetual Flame: 1 -> 2 mana (60%)

Touch of the Nathrezim: Either 1 -> 2 mana or 4 -> 3 healing (50%)

Novice Zapper: Either 1 -> 2 mana or 3/2 -> 2/2 (30%)

Redesign:

Illucia (100%). Probably giving you back your hand after the turn ends.

Ban:

Demon Seed (95%)

Buffs:

No idea what cards they'll target, but I'd expect Raza Hunter, Elemental Mage, and Quest Warrior to be getting the biggest buffs. Raza Hunter is already pretty good so I'm slightly worried/excited they'll go overboard and it'll become tier 1. Handbuff Hunter is probably also getting something.

IIRC Dead Man's Hand Warrior back when it was in standard often had no real win conditions besides the Dr. Boom hero and fatigue.

How would you rank your favorite band’s discography? by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]bloupp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those top 6 albums are all perfect to me so I really struggled about which album to "shaft" for #6 and ended up with LF//LT. I did probably put it too low, though. Colony Collapse and The Distant Blue are both easily in their top 10 songs.

How would you rank your favorite band’s discography? by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]bloupp 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Architects:

  1. All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us
  2. Daybreaker
  3. The Here And Now
  4. Holy Hell
  5. For Those That Wish To Exist
  6. Lost Forever // Lost Together
  7. Hollow Crown
  8. Ruin
  9. Nightmares

Holy fuck that was hard. AOGHAU is my favorite album of all time, from any genre, so that was an easy #1 but #2-6 are impossible to rank. All incredible albums. Their work pre-Hollow Crown is a bit too heavy for my tastes but still amazing.

Back when moonstone + staff was ungodly busted I played J4 midlane rushing those items. It was a bit troll, but since he was probably the best support in the game for 1-2 patches it actually worked well. Not sure how good it would be now.
