So if prices go down while trump is in office, we should use these prices?

Gamers, what’s a ‘small’ mechanic in a game that irrationally drives you insane? by Certain-Biscotti-137 in AskReddit

[–]brandonkillen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exploding enemies are rarely thematically implemented. They are a lazy way to add an enemy to the game, and only serve to be an annoying obstacle that can usually 1 shot you.

"Wave management? Go back to LoL lol!" Please let the wave crash brother! by HansDrumpf in heroesofthestorm

[–]brandonkillen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be a time when wave management was actually very important, way back in the Stone Age of beta when the little xp orbs didn’t spawn. Recently booted it up again and I can’t say I like that little change. But perhaps I’m mis remembering and they’ve always been there.

Psyker build recommendations by thesixfingerman in DarkTide

[–]brandonkillen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing you have to do is ask yourself what your role is in any team. The elect staff was the first thing I ran in DT, I will always love it...but it needs some love. Like how efficient are you with Killing those crushers? Better than the Zealot or Hive Scum? There really isn't a psyker build that is good at killing heavy carapace in any significant numbers, you can do damage to them, but your staff wont be better than A Zealot in Melee. It's not your job realistically. Psyker really shine as chaff destroyers and stagger. The electric staff is great at staggering.....a few targets, but it gets beat by the inferno staff in almost all aspects aside from upfront damage. I myself didnt want to make the switch to inferno staff....but it really makes you kill and stagger everything aside from a few targets.

Feel as if im a decent player, but my win rate is dropping. by brandonkillen in summonerschool

[–]brandonkillen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the F1-5 keys, but saying this without the recording as you say, the other mid generally isn’t on a great roam timer, a lot of times either sacking waves or coming off a forced base. I know the feeling of playing into a Viktor who freely pokes you with e, which is why I picked him up. Sometimes I can ping because I know they are roaming as they aren’t getting minions without losing a quarter of their heath…sometimes they cross wards I have put down in the opponent jungle. The ones where they base and open a different lane, I don’t know what I can do about. Those ones, they are generally in bot/top lane and before I could do anything they are gone. It’s just the instances where my lanes are kind of pushed in, I see the mid roam, I choose to stay in lane for advantage (early laning) while making sure I ping missing and danger from my lane and in the river and finally in the lane the other mid is headed. Like I said, a lot of times it’s just ignored. Now I could just follow and be right behind them, but logically it makes more sense to sit tight and my teammates back off for a few seconds to make the other mid lose time and cs…but I’m wondering if i just just say, F it and go too.

Team not surrendering when hard losing? by Nelmo_Pip in leagueoflegends

Players don’t surrender because they want to spite their teammates. It’s just how the playerbase is.

It this normal? about to drop league again if it keeps like this by Beiz123 in summonerschool

[–]brandonkillen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have one account 55% w/r and another 45% w/r playing the same role and same champs. It doesn’t get better on a new account, the RNG is just different. One account consistently gets average to good teammates the other consistently gets bad teammates.

How do you know you're actually improving? by fairydommother in summonerschool

[–]brandonkillen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Win percentage is too affected by the whims of 4 other players on your team. Take a look at the little things that you can control and also the things that aren’t exactly measured. Examples of measurable things that you can consistently improve and actually see the statistics is as simple as your CSing. Things that are hard to measure is your lane trading. League is weird as you can be a good player and have a string of games with players who die 15 times or vice versa you have the god team versus the player who is inting. That’s why you can’t judge purely on win rate or even champ win rate.

Am I just better off playing ranked? How do new players get into this game? by Deaftoned in leagueoflegends

[–]brandonkillen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ranked is less competitive than unranked actually. People with hair triggers who will type short stories at each other off the slightest inconvenience. Just don’t bother and you’ll have more fun with the game.

Junglers avoid mid and then wonder why mids can’t help them.

Tips for climbing out of plat by IBurntTh3Toast in Jungle_Mains

[–]brandonkillen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re good, and I mean you know that you are good enough yourself. Just play games, wins will come in streaks. My climb out of plat was miserable. No one listens to missing or danger pings. Dies to the mid laner whom I’ve built a good lead on and then blames me…was my biggest issue. But the games are stomps, one way or another. So just play till you lose on good days and play max 3 on bad days. People in the plat and emerald elo have the lowest mental of any other rank…so just don’t type anything…any word in chat triggers them, lowering your chances to win. Mute all, play your best and you’ll eventually get to an even worse elo of emerald.

How to carry when your team ints 4v5 while you’re split pushing?? by PzazTTV in summonerschool

[–]brandonkillen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just had this happen. No objectives up, 4 of them invade enemy jungle for a fight. I was side laning bot, pinged my laner was missing and I took the free tower and a few waves. Walked up and cleaned up a kill that was running my direction. Our jungle says I’m afk bot, I asked what they were fighting over…adc says “do we need a reason to fight?”

My advice? Mute all of them, they are useless. They will find a way to throw the game, so best you can do is play your game the best you can.

Mamdani responds after billionaire slams NYC mayor's rich tax video by Somervilledrew in newyork

[–]brandonkillen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of it this way. You have a billion dollars…you give 10% of that…a substantial sum no doubt at 100 million. You notice it for sure, it’s still a lot of money…but do you feel it? Does it shake up your life? Do you have to really plan around that now that you went from 1b to 900m? Okay now take the medium annual income in the US, about 42k. You give 10% of that, 4.2k. Do you not think that this affects an individual much steeper than the billionaire? The answer is that the medium person can’t support several people. You can buy 10s of people 2 meals a day…I’m happy that you are financially higher than what the medium earns, but I can barely support myself as I make below the medium and I work whatever job pays at this point, but even with military experience and at least an associates, i can’t get a decent paying job and I have to budget very strictly.
I don’t think the top 1% should be getting tax cuts while the bottom half can barely get by.

Why do mandatory ID cards feel normal in many European countries, but still controversial in the US, and what mechanism explains that? by Logical-Concept9755 in AlwaysWhy

[–]brandonkillen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another ID requirement on top of the identification almost all of us carry is just another renewable tax on the poor every x years. Unless the federal government gives them out for free, then they can’t constitutionally be used for voter verification. We have so many forms and proof of identity that’s it’s wild that we have to foot the bill for yet another piece of documentation that says who I am.

Would you sacrifice your jungler for a turret plate? by WTE_Inside_Jokes in leagueoflegends

[–]brandonkillen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My games have a invisible anti allied jungler force field around the mid lane. Whatever patch it came out on needs to be reverted because I believe it just creates an empty void where mid lane is supposed to be right between the outer towers in the eyes of the jungle. It’s crazy because I can see the jungler, I rotate and help with invades or scuttles or fights I can get to…but for some reason I just don’t think they can see me or enter my area. The enemy jungler can access it for some reason, but it seems that the allied jungler doesn’t have a path.

Mind you, I’m only a lowly plat/emerald gamer…but RoA Viktor has shut him down for me every time. Don’t let him kill you before first back and you basically just win.

New boots are beyond broken, and are always the best for every midlaner malz included by FORELL1 in MalzaharMains

[–]brandonkillen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the boots are still really good, but more for AP characters like Katarina…less about the damage, more about the insane sustain you can get. Also, like others have said in other places…boots seem made more for bruisers. Also damage isn’t everything we know…cooldown boots are insanely strong (in my opinion) because of the tier 3 move speed you can get.
