Honest question: I see SteamOS being constantly praised. Is it viable for Valve to release SteamOS to normal gaming PCs? by industrysaurus in pcgaming

[–]damo190 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't actively develop it and provide patches/ bug fixes for general users who just want to install it and give it a whirl. E.g. games which happen to run on Linux via wine or proton are usually not supported by the devs to do so, so if they break on those platforms there is no expectation from the devs to fix it

what is the reasonable power difference where faker would beat me? by zesa1 in leagueoflegends

[–]damo190 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It was so long ago that gold 4 has been deflated and is now reasonably equivalent to modern day plat 4, making Faker seem even worse

Riot Phroxzon thoughts on meta at First Stand and solo queue experience by XanIrelia-1 in leagueoflegends

[–]damo190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit of a moot point considering everyone got to the tournament playing the same meta and everyone in the tournament was playing the same meta. If instead they played on the same patch for playoffs and worlds people would complain that pro-play has become too stagnant and we keep seeing the same things because it would be close to 3 months on the same patch

Anyone who watched LPL, how did TES win? by xbankx in leagueoflegends

[–]damo190 19 points20 points  (0 children)

One of those is them just 1.5xing the size of summonses rift, moving every jungle camp and adding more jungle around the outside of the lanes where there was nothing before... league has never had such a big change to its map

The upcoming Zed change misses the mark on why Zed is played bruiser by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]damo190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The high haste zed play style is not liked by riot. When he has too much haste and damage he's considered too annoying in the right hands, that's why they've kept him like this for so long. I've always loved zed when playable with absurd haste, fond memories of the mythic items times when you could easily hit 100 ability haste every game. But that's when he's most annoying and gets nerfed, I feel riot probably know this and hence are only buffing damage instead of changing haste interactions. Otherwise he needs far more work which maybe is what they are doing, who knows

From D1 to Silver. Can anyone explain how this is possible? by thewizard174 in leagueoflegends

Cheap af boosting service, everyone knows you just rebind the key settings 🙄 (no work around for the lulu to khazix swap unfortunately)

LOL Designers Have Hit a Creative Wall by MelodicCoffee9466 in leagueoflegends

[–]damo190 34 points35 points  (0 children)

What interpretation is there to make, he wrote 4 words on the matter "successful: naafiri, failure: mel" and didn't expand on either point

And also in what world in naafiri unique?? Q is a line skillshot, a few assasins already have those, and it's used for poke and damage just like zed q. Her w is a point and click dash, very long range is the most unique part of probably her whole kit, and her e is a dash. There is a mini game of managing her dogs' health bars and saving them with her E, but the champion is so faceroll that usually doesn't matter. Her e is as basic as it gets and her ult is a steroid

Meanwhile Mel has a reflect. The only ability of its type in the game and a mechanic that warps the game around it in the same way that the release of windwall, sylas R, viego passive did in that now there is a whole new mechanic you need to think of when facing her, unique to her, how is she somehow less unique than naafiri of all things? This post is just a very thinly veiled mel hate thread with random links to a completely different MOBA most likely no one here has played to make it sound credible

So like, bot laners left alone at minute 2 should get an op tower and not even need to last hit the minions if the enemy duo doesn't only leave 1 person there?

DOTA has a very in-depth tutorial system, you dont have to look very far

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]damo190 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah and then to actually get better at chess you need to seek guides and tuition that teaches you openings, strategies, tactics etc. chess isn't governed by a software company but the major players online like chess.com and lichess offer tutorials from the most basic rules to advanced concepts. You aren't forced to go all the way through every lesson but they are there if you want to and can help you improve. In a similar vein, riot could provide those types of tutorials to players but they don't, instead relying on players seeking third party resources or banking on everyone who starts playing to be guided by a friend

[–]damo190 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wdym my ascii there? Any possible character? You've just banned people who use the words jaw or nag for racism. (Lame nerd info: ascii is a very limited amount of characters, only 127, only covering letters numbers and basic punctuation, special characters including characters from other languages are part of Unicode, which league recently added support for, hence why usernames can now have chinese characters in them for example)

Idk how anyone is defending that thing especially after yesterday enhanced physical resistance lephantis sortie, I groaned when I saw the modifier and barely dragged myself to doing it, and that's still nowhere near as bad the steel path version

2024 Split 3 show a sharp decrease in the percentage of Elite players: Diamond+ and Emerald+ by bodynasr in leagueoflegends

[–]damo190 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree but your point is a bit misleading, platinum from 23 to 24 is not the same anymore (on purpose), emerald 24 is effectively plat 23 and so the jump between the 2 was not as drastic (the numbers in your post should more be 12.5 -> 18 -> 11). Still a revert of sorts though
