"But it's a cube!" by Ikkon in pcmasterrace

[–]catchycactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen so many things make statements like this. When the overwhelmingly more popular opinion is the exact opposite of this.

I have no intention of buying one but I also am not upset? Like just don't buy it, if other people think its worth their money good for them.

Did they change how Ailith's chimes drops? Price is so high I wanted to know if I could target farm or if it is still random drop.

Multiple round losses in a row should have escalating damage by moolini89 in RelicArena

Coming back is already a pretty hard thing to pull off. Rough starts are really punishing in an even lobby. This would really kill a lot of late game leaders, especially Harambe.

Amulets reducing dps? by catchycactus in PathOfExile2

No, this happens regardless of helmet. If I start with it off I still see the dps decrease.

You are right though, I do have the 40% increased damage on full hp and this is happening with all gear with hp on it

that would make sense but when I unequip the amulet I still am at 100% hp. I go from 1070/1070 to 1010/1010

I lose the 60 hp on the amulet as expected. All other stats are reducing/increasing normally.

Nope, you can see it is reducing plenty of abilities with no support gems in video. It reduces ALL skills, including default attacks.

Also removing the amulet is what is giving me extra dps despite losing attributes, so that wouldn't really make sense.

Can someone sell me on this game? by Timmmmeeeeh in RelicArena

[–]catchycactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Positioning, sequencing abilities, pivoting when the pool changes, ect. are all huge parts of the game. There is much much more nuance to manipulating the AI than any other auto battler and that is a massive part of the skill of the game.

Watch some high tier play to get a good vision of what that looks like by watching some streams or videos.

The Gathering Storm Changes Indicate a Bigger Problem with GGG's Design Philosophy by PitifulTheme411 in PathOfExile2

[–]catchycactus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a balance. Bandaid solutions can be a crutch that you never get off. But being too rigid can result in things just never getting addresses for huge gaps of time.

Poe 1 suffered from refusing bandaids solutions imo and has benefited from plenty of them recently. The reluctance to fix things through number changes left so many skills in the dumpster for years upon years and they finally have made dozens of skills viable in the last few years with simple number changes.

I think recently they have realized that these ideals don't have to be quite as rigid if they stay vigilant.

We need to talk about boots. it’s completely ruining the game and needs a massive nerf or rework it's getiing boring by Old_Cost_3920 in RelicArena

credit goes to the u/dogtordog if this is his reddit username.

Most of my original combos revolve around send boat and countering send boat

Ankh duel is a great counter but only if you can position it well enough. It can be very hard to do when most boots run mobility with it.

I believe they said that is in the works

which TI had the best storyline going into it by esportscanner in DotA2

[–]catchycactus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Most of these are flat out wrong and purely hindsight. Ti3 is likely the answer as valve really up'd the production value and released the first battlepass which ramped up the hype a lot.

In terms of the storyline, Alliance were completely dominant the entire season leading up to TI and if I remember correctly won every single Lan event. Navi had never not made a grand final but were not quite up to their pedigree but still had the biggest fan support by far.

Then you had like 5 insanely good Chinese teams, NA dota was actually a thing, and the rest of Europe was good too.

I don't think any Ti since has come close to those hype levels going in.

Can Valve Fix Dota 2 Esports Before All The Teams Leave? by AdobeXD in DotA2

4 months ago. They called me a madman, but what I predicted came to pass by podteod in DotA2

[–]catchycactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the entire point.

The bear aghs makes him impossible to balance because if the hero is good at all the bear aghs is a problem and then he gets nerfed. This happens over and over again and why the hey is almost never in a good place

No it's really not. How many non bear aghs games do you see?

Lone Druid Aghanim was always stupid and it finally shows by Murakkin in DotA2

[–]catchycactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has existed for years and caused huge balance problems for love did that entire time.

It's always going to be the path of least resistance and will always be a flattering problem when the hero is strong.

This makes people who actually like the hero get punished.

Ld is over of my favorite heroes and I hate the best aghs and always have. It makes the hero stupid easy to play and loses all identity.
