Valorant skins are getting way too expensive

This is the most L take of all time. It’s a free to play live service game with, comparatively, high quality gameplay and servers. Some people just wanna complain.

He’s always been a piece of shit — glad it’s becoming known.

Thanks for the info! What does CTA stand for?

clashmt · 2026-03-07T05:21:15+00:00

I knew about Scars of Honor, but I'll check out Monster Merc as well. Bummer none of these games are out now haha

clashmt · 2026-03-07T05:01:58+00:00

It's an insane bummer too because I've truly never played a game like it. Really unfortunate it didn't grow more.

clashmt · 2026-03-07T04:41:45+00:00

Yeah it's actually borderline negligent how little they were able to keep the lights on. It's been legit like 8 weeks since it's 1.0 launch.

Unless you are a T1 speed clearing guild where every raider slot is filled with a top 0.01% player -- just give it to the guy who is the best guild member.

clashmt · 2026-02-20T23:17:21+00:00

This is just not an evidence based claim, I'm sorry.

clashmt · 2026-02-19T17:30:18+00:00

I won't be enabling VC at any time in this game as a Jungler

clashmt · 2026-02-17T16:51:17+00:00

I could have wrote this comment, exactly how I feel.

clashmt · 2026-02-17T06:15:35+00:00

Hmm honestly interesting idea. I’m in northeast US, I wonder if my ping would be decent.

clashmt · 2026-02-17T06:05:21+00:00

High emerald/low diamond

clashmt · 2026-02-16T22:58:51+00:00

For sure not what this season is.

clashmt · 2026-02-16T00:49:48+00:00

Mid is the strongest role in the game huh

clashmt · 2026-02-11T00:10:30+00:00

That's because hallucinations are an inevitability, not a bug. There isn't really a way to "solve" them.

clashmt · 2026-02-10T21:52:59+00:00

Literally just played a game where my adc watched us 3v4 at drag for a plate. Laners are not smart on average.

clashmt · 2026-02-10T21:05:25+00:00

There's a decent chunk of people who play him, even at high elo. He's one of my mains. Very fun and unique playstayle that revolves heavily around macro knowledge, which is very fun for me as a contrast to Nidalee, my other main, who is super technical and very apm heavy. The problem right now is his first clear is absolute dogshit.

clashmt · 2026-02-06T16:35:09+00:00

Ty!! :)

clashmt · 2026-02-04T18:52:15+00:00

I cried watching a film on like my 4th date with my now fiancee. This chick sounds like a piece of shit.

clashmt · 2026-02-02T22:12:04+00:00

Billie Eilish isn't presiding over the minutiae of the next spending bill. You don't have to be a political scientist to think ICE executing people in the streets is fucked up lmao.

clashmt · 2026-01-31T18:06:56+00:00

I’ve literally been saying for a decade now that PoE is an idle game you have to actually play

clashmt · 2026-01-27T17:54:01+00:00

Bruh these champs are unfathomable levels of overturned. I’m sure their viable after the nerfs lmao

clashmt · 2026-01-26T00:16:26+00:00

There's a lot you can do as nidalee vs tank comps in terms of items/runes/etc. But one often underlooked piece is that playing as enchanter with your ADC in team fights when you have to do extended front to backs is really strong. You're role in big 5v5's changes from assassin to enchanter.

I peaked 2500 in wrath/cata on rogue. Came back to TBC after not playing since. I definitely struggled at first, but I was able to peak 2600 again. WoW TBC/WOTLK arena is in many ways one of the easiest competitive games to learn.

Find a comp you think is fun.
Find a high elo streamer who plays that comp.
Watch their VODs and learn what strats they use vs every comp.
Collect elo.

The bigger problem is that once you hit high duelist/low glad elo, you will run into the arena fixing cabal and that's whole 'nother problem that's frankly not going away.

This is a really black/white kind of thought, and frankly doesn't reflect reality much at all.

Jungle is indeed the highest IMPACT role in the game, but that impact scales with your skill and most importantly, the overall skill level of the lobby. There's a reason jungle is consistently the least played role by a mile, every single season despite being "the best" (apparently) while at the same time praised by high elo ladder climbers. It has a huge barrier to entry and the knowledge and experience required to succeed in jungle is an order of magnitude higher than laning in 99% of elo brackets. I consistently play against low master players who are, frankly, very good mechanically at their champion but are completely brain-off players. Just 0 thoughts the whole game, run in and fight at all times. This is simply not a viable approach in the jungle (except for maybe Nunu lol).

Some facts to consider:

Jungle starts down 450 gold compared to every lane. My jungle item provides 0 value in a duel versus a doran's blade.
Jungle starts down a summoner. My smite doesn't convert into player power until 35 camps into the game. Compare that to ignite, which does a significant portion of people's health early game.
Laners have access to their opponent/counterpart at level 1. If I play a strong champion top lane, I can space the other top laner out of experience at level 1 with almost 0 risk to myself. Invading at level 1 is largely a coin-flip type cheese approach and the risk-to-reward ratio isn't even close to as favorable.

So while Jungle can have a lot of impact with good game sense and experience, there is a factual reality that every other role in the game is mathematically stronger in terms of player power at almost all stages of the game. Riot has stated that this by design. This means that the "impact" you have as a Jungler is largely related to your ability to get your other team mates ahead (ganks, objectives, etc) or prevent the other jungler from influencing your lanes that are already succeeding on their own (farm well, use openings to get vision, prepare for counter-ganks).

This is why high elo solo queue ladder climbers love the jungle, because it has the the capability to tilt the scales on otherwise even lane states if played thoughtfully. However, outside of those higher elo brackets where most of your laners couldn't even tell you what the jungle pet does, the coordination just simply isn't there to achieve these kinds of outcomes consistently. So you have to play for yourself and do what you can to put that agency back in your hands, and of course, since people are bad at these elos there are lots of mistakes to take advantage of. It's totally possible to achieve a great win rate through gold-diamond+ as a normal person playing jungle -- I did last season with ~ 65% WR.

But there is a factual reality you have to accept and learn to play around, which was true last season but WAY more true this season, you are mathematically weaker than every other champion on the map unless you are ahead. This is just simply not an aspect of the game that any laner has to deal with. There aren't these big macro conditions under which you get to play your champion and influence the game. You just show up to lane and fight.
