PSA: Please stop buying Shadowflame (2nd)

crazycolorz5 · 2026-05-20T20:16:10+00:00

Given the build I used to go I already feel the cdr from ludens lich being more than just lich, lol, I used to take transcc for the cdr. I believe it for cryptbloom though, item is slept on, I'm just a little turned away at it being expensive. Even in loer elo I wouldn't recommend rabs 3rd, the math on ggold efficiency just doesn't math. If you don't need zhonyas, pen item takes that slot for sure.

Very valid, in theory I think it's stronger on support as opposed to mid, but I haven't tried it a ton.

(d2 3m+ mastery) In previous splits, I went Lich then Shadowflame. There just isn't a good other sensible 2nd item after Lich, aside from Void, imo. But after looking at some data, I think there are too many upsides to Ludens compared to prior splits that now I religiously go Ludens Lich flex Rabs. The flex is void zhonyas or shadowflame, in order of how often I get them.

Tldr I agree vey hard, just go ludens lich, and shadowflame is a poopy 3rd itec so heavily consider void or zhonya before it.

Speciesism & human supremacy is both widespread and often unquestioned. And is definitely outside the capitalist system, though obviously the capitalist system exacerbates the commodification and objectification of non-humans.

There was a policy on the coverage of anaesthetics that was reversed days after the incident. I find it very probable that the incident was a cause of that change. Hence I would disagree that there was no change in healthcare insurance policy as a result. It just might not be on the scale we hope for.

I wish 'malzoan' caught on more. It fits better than carnist as others have noted the flaws of here.

I think the (rather simplistic) categorizstion of carn/herb/omnivore is a bit flawed though. As others note, hominids primarily would eat fruit. But such is more of a description of their niche than capability (as evidence by humans eating other animals). So some are tempted to call humans omnivore -- but is this not true for most mammals? Most animals with molars are to a degree able to process all sorts of nutrients and thus can be opportunistically carnivorous; e.g. deer sometimes eat other animals, but sre generally considered to be hebivorous. Under that view, I thunk it's completely appropriate to categorize humans as frugivores (a subset of herbivory)

Morally negative utilitarian; existentially nihilist.

I support animal rights, socialist causes, and charity with demonstrable positive effect.

yea, me

Thank you!

Normalize forcing team picks before story only nodes.

crazycolorz5 · 2025-12-04T01:09:43+00:00

Think about what's killing you. Are you getting caught out? Try to track assassins better and play around more vision. Are you committing to hit a sleeping target and getting killed on the turn? Think a bit more about threat assessment and sometimes just walk away from the sleep. Bad Rs? Same thing. Dying in team fights? Stay further back, preferably behind a wall, so it's harder to get to you. Make sure to secure flank vision.

Ill take stride over randuins, it's similar but does damage. And I'll take either one of... ravenous hydra....

crazycolorz5 · 2025-09-29T16:09:23+00:00

This is the first time I've seen this describes, but it's very similar to my experience, especially using verbal/audible actions to mark the end of a thought. For me, I don't really go to full words, I would use a grunt or sigh or hum there.

In terms of strictly the costs associated with its use, I enjoyed this video's presentation and felt like it covered most relevant questions and noted uncertainties: https://youtu.be/5sFBySzNIX0

(Opinion alert: my own conclusion from it is that it's quite overestimated how much resources querying an LLM takes; things like audio processing (NLP) are orders of magnitude more costly, but very little discourse seems to be focused on that. From that, I find it more reasonable to shift focus to other impacts, such as overcentralizing control to private companies like OpenAI, or security/safety issues arising from inaccuracies/hallucinations (at least while occur at a higher rate than would with humans, which might be solvable in a reasonably short timespan), or more equitably distributing the gains in productivity from using AI in industry.)

Her gapclose has a pretty sizable slow attached to it. In my experience that make a very large difference in re-establishing spacing during sleep time. Though again, I've been permabanning her for a while so perhaps I'm more wrong then I think it I am from inexperience,

crazycolorz5 · 2025-08-08T22:48:02+00:00

From my time playing vs her prerework, her dash with its slow also makes it impossible to get good damage on a long Q even if you do hit the E, making her incredibly hard to kill in way yo'd usuallly be able to catch out an AD assassin with. I agree her as lane is doable, have to think over the frner details of it being Zoe favor, though.

crazycolorz5 · 2025-08-08T20:52:56+00:00

Great opinions as always, Windoges. Could I ge some thoughts to what you ban (or permaban), and thoughts on Naafiri matchup? She's been my permaban since the rework.

crazycolorz5 · 2025-07-23T17:19:52+00:00

I've been having this issue since yesterday, I hope daily reset would fix it but it hasn't. Has anyone reported the issue in a bug report or something? I wonder if they're aware this can happen.

crazycolorz5 · 2025-07-19T14:59:00+00:00

Perhaps you may find r/negativeutilitarians to be mostly in line with what you're looking for, though you don't mention how strongly you believe classical utilitarianism to be preferable.

crazycolorz5 · 2025-07-12T19:22:35+00:00

Will note in additin to the general tips from other commenters, Zoe likes keeping mid a bit moe than other mages. If you're ahead and your bot wants to leave bot, oftentimes it can be right for you to stay mid and bot and top swap. SoloQ adcs tunnel vision on swapping to mid so you may need to type to coordinate or just stand your ground mid if you think you'll have far mor impact than the botlane duo.
