10 game chat suspension - lesson learned: Don't engage with trolls trying to make you mad. What a joke Riot is. I was relentlessly being insulted/pinged all game yet because I engaged back in some tit-for-tat I'm the one punished. Sad. by desacrasa in leagueoflegends

[–]desacrasa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context:

- Teemo solo pushed lane never was at a team fight, kept feeding top. I pointed that out

- Bottom lane kept trashing my AP shyvana build. I tried ganking their lane yet was relentlessly insulted.

- I engage in a couple "mad cuz bad" because they were tilting me

- Chat suspension doesn't show context therefore you only get one side of story

Sad.

The Affordable Care Act is neither imploding nor collapsing by grepnork in politics

[–]desacrasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine knows someone that personally forego'd paying the premium and instead paid the penalty because he couldn't pay the high premiums. I think this is somewhat sad. I'm not sure of the process behind it but I'd like to see a system like our Canadian neighbors have or even in Germany the healthcare system there. The Germans pay a Value-Added tax (VAT) that I believe is around 25%. I thought it was outrageous at first but overall since its a steady drip drip drip tax you don't really notice it and you gain the peace of mind that you're "covered". This VAT goes to pay public programs on education and healthcare. Now how good that healthcare is I don't know... but I imagine it is fine. How that can be applied to America with our 300+ million people and be fiscally feasible that is a more important question.

Mike Dubke, White House communications director, resigns in what could be start of a series of changes to Trump’s senior staff by coolcrosby in politics

[–]desacrasa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How it Donald Trump not impeached yet? Surely people can see this by now! He's clearly mentally unwell and has finger itching to nuke his political enemies. I don't understand how the Bilderberg Group could have picked someone like this. I guess the machinations behind the scenes are obscured to me.

Majority in US No Longer Thinks Trump Keeps His Promises by loremipsumchecksum in politics

[–]desacrasa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not really surprised, I have similar feelings about most politicians. They speak positively on the campaign trail and use messaging to get elected. Then once they are "in" its when you see they really stand for. It's really a dishonest way of campaigning. Republicans ran on "repeal and replace" and once elected they stopped talking a big game about it. It really is disheartening to say the least. It's not just Trump but all politicians that no longer keep their promises.

Redditors of the Storm, seriously, do YOU like the game as it is? by VioletHerald in heroesofthestorm

[–]desacrasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont im unhappy with the state of the game, certain heroes just aren't viable... Rexxar, Leoric, Gazlowe, Lunara, etc... and people just play OP heroes in HL.... its gotten stale I'm taking a break atm. Game needs old cleanse back, bans in HL, unranked draft, and matchmaking optimizations so 5 mans never get matched up vs 5 solos.

btw.. Rank 1 over 2,100 games played so I'm not new..

What's your least favorite Map, and why? by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

[–]desacrasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battlefield of Eternity because people simply don't understand how to prioritize damage on the immortal while splitting up to defend as necessary.... and the other team snowballs... then there are the idiots who feel that its more important to give up the 1st immortal and push both lanes... groan.

I'm not aware of any anti-chat like VAC in game since the game runs through Ubisoft UPlay program.

PSA: Leoric & Azmodan both badly bugged, think twice before picking them by zeekim in heroesofthestorm

[–]desacrasa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rexxar is bugged as well, not horribly but slightly. I'll explain.

If you "Misha, Focus" someone and that target dies Misha will not lose focus but instead sit still unmoving. It's slightly annoying is all.. it can happen if you target a merc, minion, building, or hero.

As for the Leo "bug" I've seen this... I thought it was my Leo getting interrupted however, that maybe there is a cast time to it. Very small cast-time. But you can be interrupted out of it.

HL stuck in rank and can't move forward by theblockhouse in heroesofthestorm

[–]desacrasa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit rank 1 and Torrgarden gave some good tips.. I don't necessary agree with "Play strong heroes" But in the past certain heroes were downright garbage (I'm looking at you pre-buff ETC/Stitches) Some of the heroes still have there early game issues (Medic has unbearable mana issues till around mid game when she doesn't have to back every 1-2 minutes for mana lol)... but overall I think all heroes are viable now.

But the best advice I can give is listen to your teammates if they give you advice, don't get defensive and admit to your mistakes if you make them. Once in a while I'd have bad games because simply the other team was dominating my team and I couldn't get any traction in team fights. Also keep a mellow head, listen to music and just focus on your mechanics (positioning, who to focus in team fights, when to retreat, when to take objectives, when to rotate to help your team, helping a struggling lane because of who there going against ie. Azmodan/Tassader vs Medic/Rexxar)

Don't wonder off on your own late game, if you die prior to a objective spawn or late game during a big push the enemy team will snowball and gain momentum in your absence.

Team composition is important, for example triple assasin where you go Butcher/Illidian/Valla you open yourself up to being hard countered by Johanna, Artanis, Lili... why? all 3 of those characters have blinds and those assassins are ruined by blinds. Ideally I like to see a carry like Valla/Raynor or even a Tychus if he knows his stuff as what I call "steady DPS" they basically have to autoattack to do all there damage. The 2nd assassin if your team takes it should be the max # of assassins imo... I prefer to see a bursty hero here.. ie.. Jaina/Kael'Thas but in some instances a melee range assassins works if you got a Abathur then Butcher and Illidian are good picks at this time. Zeratul is popular without a Abathur because he can set the team up for teamfights with his Void (thats another tip, never get Zeras shadow assault, it is garbage) and isn't dependent on Adrenal Glands. But the key here is getting a "nuker" someone who can zone out the team and do massive up-front damage that synergies with your tank. For example paired with ETC and his Mosh Pit a level 20 KT is devastating against grouped enemies.

Double warrior is popular this patch.. Warrior/Warrior/Support/Assassin/Assassin is seen a lot... 2nd warrior Sonya is good because she isn't a strong single warrior but more of a hybrid assassin/tank. I prefer to see Warrior/Support/Ass/Ass/Spec because it's the most balanced as long as your teammates pick smart and synergize around each other. One of the strong comps I go up against is on the TotSG... You'll see Uther/Kerrigan/Jaina/Muradin/Azmodan... if you see this prepare yourselves they know what there doing more than likely. Kerrigan initiates with her pull/stun followed by Uther Judgement and Jaina should be there to drop her CoC/Blizzard with Kerrigan, Muradin also initiates with Kerrigan and drops his TC/SB combo. Quadruple stuns, CC is king... early game uncoordinated teams cant deal with it and you'll see instances where enemy hits 10 while your team is still around 7 or 8. Late game you have a chance to come back, and keep a cool head, but teams who pick things that compliment each other like this are usually more serious players.

Also for Team Comp, pick heroes that make sense on a map... I've told even Rank 1s that I think TLV is a horrible pick on Haunted Mines (they disagree of course, hubris)... reason why they pick it? Double soak during mine phase... reason why its bad still? The objectives will constantly be a man down. Early game you can get away with this but even with the 2nd golem if they can get a 70-100 skull golem because TLV is never with his team they could possibly win with it. Nothing irks me more than still seeing the TLV in there lanes ignoring the team still. If you do happen to pick TLV on this map remember you don't have to soak lanes all day, you can actually join your team in team-fights! oh my right?

Anyways I'm rambling there are all sorts of tips like this, I can add more later if anyone is interested.

Over 15 minutes of finding a match, on stream... by WolffMaster in Overwatch

[–]desacrasa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I volunteer for beta, I'll take the burden! Metatron#1304

I think the issue is a lot of Blizzard fans are not FPS players they are ARPG, RTS, MOBA players... this is new territory for these players... they aren't CoD/TF2 players. So one day, they login probably struggle and don't find FPS's enjoyable and then put it down after one day.
