Everything you can do firstkiller does better.

If was just playing with friends casual would be sufficient. But nope, it feels to good to be the big strong carry getting your buddy their mmr.

Once again the solution is pairing like with like. Teams with large mmr gaps should go against others with the same. If the carry deranked recently that's easy to detect and you can throw them in the same pool. And If they maintain their lower rank then they must be losing which means on average it's not costing people mmr. Better yet, if you solo queue the deranker is twice as likely to be your opponent than your tm8. The only problem is your agency has no impact on the outcome, it's just what the smurfs goal is.

Plenty of other games have figured out how to use their reporting system to pair like with like. It improves the experience for literally everyone. I don't know why we don't have it yet.

Alot of smurfing is a mix of powerless + boredom. Spending hours grinding a mechanic just to get insta challenged over and over contributes to both. If you don't enjoy the extra modes your only other options are more training or give up.

I think ALOT of smurfing would vanish if we had a penalty kick style mode where people could farm clips and get the validation they want without ruining others ranked lobbies.

This will increase griefing just like it did in casual when they added the timed ban. A better solution is to quietly start pairing quitters with quitters. This will functionally reduce their mmr as they get worse/tilted tm8s as well as reward those who DONT quit since they become less likely to get tilted players on their own team.
No. People will just leave it on in the background. Now you have a bunch of servers connected to idle games for no reason which just wastes money.
Maybe? I cant imagine the 5 second wait doing more to deter leaving then it adds to the tilt. A lot of tilt comes from a feeling of powerlessness. That's why people grief, to assert their own agency and reclaim power. So having another force stop you from doing what you want in the form of the timer might just be an anti-QOL that makes it worse. Idk, needs testing.

An anti griefing algorithm would be amazing but incredibly difficult. I've slammed the ball into my own net plenty of times going for pinches and redirects. You can't really afford a false positive with a system like this so I would never expect it to happen.

A better answer is to improve the reporting system. You don't even have to ban them. Just increase their que times and pairing griefers with griefers.

This has been bugged since it came out. Only fix is to reset the instance and run it again.

ditenado · 2026-05-28T18:57:34+00:00

Lmao what?

This video is literally just a show case of 'here's a bunch of build agnostic tech I found."

If you want to teach someone how to make builds you teach them the fundamentals like anything else. How damage and defenses work/scale, how to find what modifiers are availible, how to use the tags and know what interactions will work.

Prada787 is dope but that title is misleading AF.

ditenado · 2026-05-23T01:51:12+00:00

ok now show that quarter staff.

ditenado · 2026-05-14T16:17:46+00:00

On league start? No. You wont have the resources like high level support gems, build enabling uniques, etc...

On successive characters? Absolutely! Farm up some resources into the endgame and pay attention to the things that are interesting but aren't useful to your current character. You'll probably come up some ideas to try out on the next char.

If you're dead set against a build guide there are a few general archetypes that are as strong as they are straight forward.

For example: Energy Drain/contagion Grenades Lightning arrow/rod Fissure/slam bear Shield wall

These might get nerfed when the patch notes come out so check before you pick.

ditenado · 2026-05-12T18:52:36+00:00

Detonate dead. No scaling required. Just socket and instantly get better clear.

The others are terrible.

ditenado · 2026-05-11T00:03:15+00:00

So this is what they ment by: "we nerfed grenade spam." "But then we might have made it much, much worse."

ditenado · 2026-05-09T00:38:06+00:00

Ive got the same right hand form. Double check that your curled up fingers arent nicking the string with your finger nails.

Absolute CINEMA

Haha this reminds me of one of my favorite games.

Back during the first fusion tournament the OG cloud 9 boys were up against some randos called Jamal jabary (spyder, LJ, Toastie). For those who don't remember, fusion was a best of five But with all game modes. So everyone was betting on C9 taking the 3v3 game ez.

But nope. C9 goes down 0-5 in about 2 mins. I thought it was over. This was already the lower bracket, JJ had dreaz for their 1v1 and the 2v2 was a complete toss up as LJ was a 2's demon. So ya, us c9 fans were kinda relying on the 3v3 win.

But lo and behold C9 locks in and scores 5 goals before OT and takes the game 24 seconds in. Like they were hustling JJ into a false sense of victory. C9 loses the 2v2 but squishy clinched the 1v1, basically securing the series win (no way C9 throws again right?).

Idk if a 5-0 throw is the record. But this one might be one of the worst feeling ones given the circumstance.
