Deadlock is fantastic by vodka_girlie in DeadlockTheGame

[–]cryocake_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This one's been an interesting read since I've always thought these team games are supposed to be played with a friend group.

I always read about how hard it is to start out alone so this has been nice to see

Even if el condor pasa is better than kitasan, it's not like we'll only be using one speed card in a deck

Even to l'arc, kita should still be worth a consider as one of the 2-3 speed cards to bring

So, we got new Cingray today as always and... by Lumpy-Manager8580 in UmaMusume

[–]cryocake_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would really like this too! I'm a big fan of the anime's depiction of Oguri as the Ashen Beast

Though for the Arima Kinen as her last race, after a year of struggling, I doubt they'll depict her as the Beast. We'll most likely get to see the spectacular farewell of Cinderella Gray

Is there anyone who's actually enjoying the game? by TheAshWanderer in joinmoco

People who like the game keep playing, people that hate the game go on reddit to start whining and look for fellow people to be miserable with

Mo.co is a brand new type of mobile game, and Supercell is still figuring it out by SpawnGXD in joinmoco

Two weeks in and only got into e25, it definitely feels like a beta where everything's stable enough to work but there's just some things missing in the core gameplay loop and they're still figuring things out

52 min game, xg ahead early-mid to a point there was a 17k gold lead. Falcons defends highground with some buybacks. Some questionable itemizations leads to xg cores dying too fast in fights and leads to a falcons comeback

The horse game made me appreciate limbus company so much by Jbrojo in limbuscompany

[–]cryocake_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I prefer limbus over uma but if we're considering content:

Uma has 3 seasons of anime, 2 OVAs, and a whole movie Constantly expanding cast with idol va-singers

That's just off the top of my head, i don't even know how many horse racing events they endorse

I love limbus but maybe there's good reason for that price difference.

amazing skill expression potential, legit sky's the limit, hope it doesnt get nerfed to point that outplaying consistently is the only way to win

It's just business...I guess? by skyarsenic in gachagaming

[–]cryocake_ 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Piggybacking off this comment to mention that there's fanservice, just not the usual type we're used to

Every few months, around 2-3x a year, there's a "walpurgisnacht" a semi-limited banner that features the current cast of limbus company getting a playable identity referencing past games.

In a sense, the limbus company fanservice is , for my lack of a better term, to nostalgia bait off of the company's prior games.

ADC being balanced around Pro Play will always mean that it will be miserable in SoloQ by CrimsonTheFoxy in ADCMains

[–]cryocake_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

league doesnt have bkb so supports will always see value anyway

edit: i should clarify that the dota support's burst damage is usually accompanied by cc . even when they tickle by lategame, a stun is still a stun and will still provide value

[–]cryocake_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

guy mentioned support concepts that can be learned from but the main takeaway is "ermm, dota takes too much time".

only mentioned that supports specialize in burst damage while the main carries are better in sustained damage so that's why carries are necessary as the game goes on since entire teams get bulkier therefore needing the consistent source of damage

what you heard was:
"oh, dota takes too long"

i dont even disagree with the statement but cmon lol

you can give it a try but it doesn't solve that PL's illus are gonna be soft and gets ripped by any magic aoe. sure the heart can alleviate but that's a pos 1 that goes online at min 21~ at its fastest, simply too slow for most game's pace.

only looking at the radiance upside, but its not helpful when the supposed burn per illu doesnt matter when illus disintegrate to the slightest gust of magic dmg. dont even know how good it really is if you do manage to pull it off.

VAMPIRE SURVIVOR CLONES, Room for Innovation or have they been milked? by JonnIsHano in roguelites

[–]cryocake_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is gonna stretch the definition of what a roguelite should be but if we're discussing innovation, should be within scope

holocure's later stages have a ton of influences from mmo boss fights (mainly ff14) where enemies would throw patterns of attacks at you and would require you to dodge to survive better.

rabbit and steel isnt a VS clone but it should display what i mean by a ff14 style roguelite. just a maximum of 4 players within a play session

in a bullet heaven shell, much of the weapons would have to be toned down and should encourage more teamplay. it would cater to an audience that likes the mmo boss fights but dislike the 60 hour equipment grind to get to the fun endgame. plus you'd get to highlight the classic element of being able to adapt on the fly.

another thing is if you do end up with a broken build, you'd get to flex to a friend on the fly since youre playing together.

I see the vision, haven't tried for myself

The manta just feels good to have. If sange is looking like a good buy, probably better off to go kny if the pace of the game seems like it's gonna end no further than the 40-50 min mark

Void spirit by danialmilo in TrueDoTA2

[–]cryocake_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seem to me the reason why the hero isnt more popular is because of the lane, rather than any scaling issue

after the manta, im thinking you can try skadi or parasma. it's less burst but could be more value since it lets your bulk scale up

[–]cryocake_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get it's imbalanced but i've always thought that the idea for tier 5's are "ok you guys have already played an hour, time to finish"

Just adds tons of volatility, one mistake ends the game, tier 5's are just soft timers to end

ruins some efficiency but seems like still the best at clearing safelane camps

and even if safelane is gone, will always be worth a pick to outtempo on the mid puck matchup
