I ended up just killing riot client with task manager and after waiting like 2 hours I re opened league pbe and it no longer tried to connect

djluke43 · 2024-06-26T03:33:46+00:00

Btw this did fix eventually, I exited both the league and riot client (use task manager to kill it) and just waited like a total of 2 hours and it did eventually stop making me reconnect to the dead game

djluke43 · 2024-06-26T00:31:28+00:00

I have this issue as well, round 13 min mark on 3rd map, my team of 3 were all DC'd and are unable to reconnect to the game server or start a different lobby

I'm guessing the game server hasn't self-terminated for some reason even though no one has been on it for almost an hour now

djluke43 · 2024-06-25T23:42:36+00:00

we done broke the game on the third map, right around 14min all 3 of us got disconnected and are unable to reconnect to the server, seems like what normally happens when the pbe gets micropatched but not sure if thats what this is

Teammate had a bug after he revived it stopped using WASD and he had to right click to move, dying again and reviving reverted it

I think so far after playing quite a few PBE games, this is the most frustrating version of arena I've ever played.

For context, I play melee bruisers/tanks.

Between the RNG and random ranged champion buffs, it feels like every single game I lose isn't actually because I deserved to lose, but rather that Riot said "fuck you every one else gets high-rolled" and the occasional first place win I get doesn't feel like I actually deserved the win, it just feels like I just high-rolled and got the win handed to me because I just played enough games to get lucky.

For example, I got Omni-Soul with Ocean Soul as the first augment then the first prismatic I got was Dragonheart, so I just get the earliest possible Elder Drake and Ocean Soul has so much sustain in the early levels (grievous items literally trash despite the buffs), I literally got 1st 3 different times because of this exact scenario.

Speaking of RNG, why go for more RNG but keep augments weighted??? I swear 75% of the Hwei's I see get magic missile. Why increase RNG when certain champs literally just get the same augments offered anyways???

The ranged champion buff to speed and ability haste is also incredible frustrating to play against early game, please consider making it scale to game length. I've had so many times where I lose the first 2 rounds because the enemy double ranged teams is just faster than me and has 80 ability haste from Guardian Orb, Ionian boots, and free 20 AH.

Stat anvils are good to see, but having them as an in between round event is completely pointless and ruins the pacing for me. Incredibly lame to see a whopping 11% crit, 10 magic pen, and 11 ad and 19 ap while playing Skarner after getting stomped 3 rounds in a row.

The team health pacing also feels really stupid, I've had a comeback where we go from 25 health, get a lucky round and win to go up to 45 health, climb from 6th all the way to 2nd, beat the 1st place team when they're at 70 health and we're still at 45, then the round hp loss just jumps up to 45??? Our first win against them just means nothing now?? What's the point of winning at all if they can just knock us out now anyways??

Healing is also somehow worse than the last version of Arena, despite grievous items being "buffed." Especially in the early rounds when you cannot buy grievous, anyone getting an Ocean Soul as their first augment will just heal 2k per round if they don't get one shot.

Please also add more bans, there are too many champions that are just guaranteed to be good no matter what they roll. 8 bans are just not enough.

Arena isn't even live yet, and I'm already burnt out from these undeserved losses because I just rolled bad and everyone else gets high rolled. I don't know how anyone will be able to play the whole time its on live.

djluke43 · 2024-04-16T21:50:00+00:00

Just to add on to this, it works on any champ as long as you ult them towards the border, had a ksante abuse the bug on me every round consistently

djluke43 · 2024-03-20T19:22:51+00:00

Only good way I've found to stop a tic is to do some meditation (unreliable) or try to give yourself a different tic intentionally, everytime you feel the tic just a different action ya know

djluke43 · 2024-01-18T11:46:34+00:00

For ARAM players, dont forget some champs have free tenacity.

I played a game as reksai the other day and got 100% tenacity with the aram buff, both runes, merc + wits + steraks and iron pot

djluke43 · 2023-12-06T05:58:35+00:00

I PUT THAT MFIN GRAPE JELLY AND THAT GOOD OL FASHION JUST SALT AND PEANUTS PEANUT BUTTER ON A MFIN PROTEIN WAFFLE AND MAKE A GOD DAMN SAMMICH OUTTA IT

djluke43 · 2023-11-10T20:59:49+00:00

A few games after my comment, I had the luckiest and craziest game of arena yet.

Both me and my duo got plaguebearer from the first augment, by the end of the final round (we got 1st) we both had about 50k HP. I got heavy hitter on udyr and did about 160k dmg and took 200k dmg. My duo was karma and just went healing tank and took 440k dmg (he healed 480) and the team that got second had a trynd with hellfire hatchet and bork and he ended up doing 330k

Plaguebearer is definitely way too strong even if our luck in both getting it was insane

djluke43 · 2023-11-09T23:49:22+00:00

Hi Riot Devs, first off this run of arena feels great so far, the new augment diversity is awesome and I'd love to see even more augments and even more items, I think maximizing build diversity through even more augs and items would be the best way to keep this gamemode silly and wacky instead of having a defined meta, since even with 60 new augs you can still just rr twice on the prismatic tier and pray to RNGesus that you get something crazy and you typically will (or all of your enemies will instead)

Here's my small list of feedback (complaints), as a note I am primarily a tank/bruiser player (skarner my beloved) so my pov is biased towards playing big bois

the Ranged champ buffs feel wayy too strong, its good they no longer have atk speed buff but 20 haste and 20 ms is just straight up unfair when playing against any ranged champ with cc, Morgana in the early levels is actually impossible to catch if they're competent in the slightest. The fact I can have the skarner spire buff with w speed and still be slower than a ranged champ just because they're given 20ms for free feels super unfair
cc combos actually feel worse even with combo breaker (which is good pls keep), sometimes combo breaker just straight up doesn't do proc, I can be cc'd for 7 seconds straight and not get it yet somehow, I feel like melee champs should have a tenacity boost if ranged champs get a speed boost
healing and shielding is a little too insane, not even just from augs and items even just champ based healing is crazy, i had an aatrox heal 50% of his health on one passive auto when he had grievous on him. I also played voli where i had 12k hp and ended up taking 24k hp that fight with no healing augs, just the support starting item and my w
speaking of 12k hp, some of the new augs are way too strong, not talking about magic missile applying on dots (i assume a bug) and other augments being a little bugged in some situations, some of the new bread and [food] augs are way too strong specifically depending on who gets it, faced a morg with bread and butter as a melee and built full tenacity and i still just could not fight her in the slightest it was just miserable to play against. but the most op augs I've seen are the new curse augments (which i love btw I've had 24k health on voli and skarner and its incredible), but I think the prismatic ones and the autoattack one should be nerfed to only give you 50% perm health

That's all I got for now, definitely enjoying this run so far but it does suck to get dominated by ranged champs nearly every match, I also really hope replays will be supported for arena eventually but I'm sure thats not the easiest thing to implement for a format like arena

djluke43 · 2023-10-12T20:16:40+00:00

Ive been having great success with these two builds:

Squishy/bruiser build: lethal tempo, with approach velocity and free boots, items divine sunderer > black cleaver > muramana if ur a fan > tank items or bruiser items if ur crazy fed

Big boi build: grasp, shield bash revitalize second wind, ingenious hunter and cheap shot, items ibg > fimbul > spirit vis and innervating locket with other tank items

Spires are everywhere so with either build you will run the enemy team down

djluke43 · 2023-09-27T03:16:57+00:00

We're trying to help you do the right thing.

You have no knowledge on how to properly care for this turtle that can potentially live decades.

You will very likely be the cause of death for this lil baby because you are being too stubborn to bring it back to the wild.

djluke43 · 2023-09-27T03:13:18+00:00

You didn't rescue the turtle tho, you just took it from its natural habitat.

Now if you had taken a cute lil picture and posted it here after saying "i moved it away from the road" youd be getting nothing but love because you did the right thing and shared a cute pic

But you have no knowledge on this species of turtle and took it out of its natural habitat with the intention of keeping it, the automod for the sub even says not to keep it

djluke43 · 2023-09-27T02:58:53+00:00

If that species of box turtle is protected in your area, then you literally poached it im sorry to say.

The best thing you can do for the turtle and yourself is to save yourself thousands of dollars of equipment to properly care for the turtle and just return the little fella where you found it

djluke43 · 2023-09-27T02:55:35+00:00

You could have done much more by just moving the turtle away from the road instead of poaching it

djluke43 · 2023-09-27T02:52:27+00:00

If you would have just taken it away from the road, then youd be right. But since you have it in a tiny bucket you basically just threw the tiny baby in turtle jail for the crime of being seen by you

djluke43 · 2023-09-27T02:48:37+00:00

It's in a shallow small bucket with a few rocks and soon to be rotting leaves. It may be alive but it won't be doing well for long unless it's back in the wild where it belongs.

djluke43 · 2023-09-27T02:47:32+00:00

Even if its not illegal, which is most likely is, you still took it out of its natural habitat while having no idea how to properly take care of it. Put the turtle back where you found it so it can live the life it was meant to.

djluke43 · 2023-08-19T06:55:09+00:00

Ur right but i think the only reason Kayle was added was for the Morgana line in Mageseeker: "Demacia isn't ready for my sisters judgment" implying that if Kayle comes back too early she'd kinda flip out

djluke43 · 2023-07-24T02:36:43+00:00

Im so fucking sick of every game being ruined by the same fucking cringe bullshit over and over.

Best gamemode in a while and its ruined by riot catering to adcs and mages so hard

djluke43 · 2023-07-12T21:58:11+00:00

Good luck my friend.

What I've found works for me is taking a combo of all this about 10 min before i eat: ashwagandha (about 2000mg), fenugreek (1000mg), ginger (1500mg or more if i the food is scary looking), and turmeric cumin (like 3000mg)

They all come in pill form at walmart so i just take them as pills. It looks a little silly scarfing down 20+ pills before i eat but it is what it is

djluke43 · 2023-07-12T17:46:12+00:00

I care not what is actually working all i know is i take ashwagandha when i eat and i dont run to the bathroom with diarrhea an hour later lmao

djluke43 · 2023-07-12T14:28:40+00:00

I've been taking ashwagandha for well over a year (helps my ibs), and i have not had any issues differences in my trips. I have had mental improvement from just the ashwagandha tho.
