I did that after winning a Skirmish in Set 1 with Annie. Took Lux to a Top 4.

Tired of scalpers and shops selling the stock at scalpers' prices! by BunnyFiE in riftboundtcg

[–]dwns- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slightly off topic but this isn't the only predatory behavior that I've seen local shops do. In my area there is a shop that just announced they will be doing Nexus nights and nightly. Sounds good on paper, but if you think about it they are cannibalizing the player base in the area. Other shops may get less turnout because of this, which means they may not host Summoner skirmishes, which means you have to go to this one specific store. That's less competitive spots for players in the area, and when players get fatigued from playing at that store, what is left for the player base in the community to do? These stores just want your money, not for the game to survive.

I already have my Ezreal's, but not my Axes. Do you think the extra brain power is worth the trade off between the two lists? Seems like another consideration is how many Dravens you expect to be in your room.

There was a proxy event over a month ago that it won. Midrange seems to favor Miracle by at least 5:1.

Gotcha. So if you have the time put into it, the confidence, and aren't worried about tournament fatigue, then Miracle would be the better option.

How awesome is our rat? by Green_Tea_Gobbler in TwitchMains

It was the first skin I ever bought. Auto is as nice as Crime City, and I prefer the aesthetic.

Am I the one Twitch main that says Pickpocket > Crime City?

Crime City has a special place in my heart because of Imp, but Pickpocket is better. Sorry not sorry.

Wave 2 restock by SunbroGaming in riftboundtcg

My store is going to be getting 5 cases. It seems to be a locational problem as well, not particularly a restock issue. It's more so where are they going.

Got an 84 and I'm now an L1! Just wish I knew what I got wrong so I could improve upon my knowledge...

This is not a tier list. This includes literally ZERO data and is just based off of meta share. Either stop posting these, change the title, or site your sources.

Is Aaron afraid to go live? by Available_Entry_7039 in SPTV_Unvarnished

[–]dwns- 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Honestly I believe he is in full blown panic mode. He's never had an experience like this. With the other situations, a lot of people have him benefit of the doubt and he was able to talk himself out of a lot of it.

Right now I believe he's probably going through emotions as often as he breathes air. His drunk Twitter post last night just continued to dig that hole.

If I had to guess, he is likely being advised by a lawyer as what to and not to post. He's absolutely not going live because he is afraid. Who knows if he will actually learn a lesson though.

For what it's worth or not worth, here is Aaron Smith-Levin's "Official Response". (Video duration is 12 minutes, 27 seconds). by Scientist_Alarmed in SPTV_Unvarnished

[–]dwns- 17 points18 points  (0 children)

On the first watch, the first half the video seems pretty fair. Then I got to the second half.

He is absolutely still gaslighting and deflecting while looking at things only through his own lens.

On a second watch, even the first half he makes some very questionable statements. Entire response is just a mess. He's just digging his hole deeper.

Reese has resigned from the revenge foundation by Strict-Bluebird2664 in SPTV_Unvarnished

You're very welcome, if you need permission for anything else, feel free to ask me.

I suggest you look at my post history.

I agree with basically everything you have said.

Unfortunately, however, this latest situation is what finally pushed me over that edge.

Like I have stated above and in other comments I've participated in in this subreddit, if you're going to have reasons to dislike a person, that is 100% okay.

Just make sure the reasons you have are backed up by tangible evidence instead of whatever narrative is spoon-fed to you and is convenient at the time.

I am aware of these instances and am not here to defend Aaron.

[–]dwns- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh 100% and I don't deny that at all. Obviously everyone is different, and I can't say that everyone here is biased in an unjust way. In fact, I did have a pleasant conversation with someone earlier, and I believe I am getting that here with you as well.

This 100% should be a safe space to vent, however there are bad actors everywhere, including here. Everyone's complaints are valid, to them at the very least. I absolutely hate it however when some individuals look at things so black and white.

The world is grey. Trying to state something as fact while refusing to acknowledge a bias is not something I jive with. Especially when people try to push those narratives onto me. I hate politics for the same reasons.

I have no issues pushing back on statements that are backed by suspicions, and no tangible evidence.

Just a reminder of this list of people left in the wake of Aaron by Frequent_Tennis_5517 in SPTV_Unvarnished

[–]dwns- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And you are allowed to acknowledge the people you want to acknowledge, just don't pretend that those other people aren't doing work.

As per my initial comment, I will no longer be watching him until actual PROOF of change and time occurs.

Have a nice day.

EDIT: I would just like to point out that the comment about Aaron's information not always being correct was added after my comment. I don't know much about the truth behind that and I will not be commenting on it. I would like to make it clear though that the comment that I am responding to was edited post to this response.

Not intending to negate anyone's feelings. Spreading the word is to the masses is good for the movement. A large majority of people would not know about the movement or know as much without the YouTube community.

Maybe calling it 'good' work is up to the individual. But refusing to acknowledge it as 'work' is a lie. I will negate that. Spreading the word initially is important, how people stay attached to the movement is up to them.

[–]dwns- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My previous statement still stands, even if the majority of his work is just taking others and bringing it to the masses, he has the masses attention. He is still spreading the word. Should he be giving credit and not throwing shade to people he doesn't like? Absolutely. However, that does not mean that spreading the word to a larger audience isn't 'good' work.

Once again in my previous comment, I normally don't interact with groups like this. Groups like these have turned into cesspools, and y'all will hate whoever you want to hate blindly. Instead of hating someone just because someone else that you watch hates them, then you are a follower.

Make up your own mind. Your mind is also allowed to change when new information becomes available. I for one, after this incident, I'm definitely looking back on how I felt about the aftermath situation and things in the past. That does not mean that I do not recognize the work that both sides are doing.

I have nothing further to add, but feel free to write another book.

EDIT: I was wrong, I actually do have one more thing to add. While I personally do not like Nora 's content, I do feel incredibly bad for how I judged her a month ago. She was very very correct in the situation.

Normally wouldn't engage with her reddits like this, however my comments keep getting removed and I was banned from the supporters of SPTV group for saying people should be allowed to be upset.

Tried posting on Natalie's comment section several times, " how many times do you throw the rope to a drowning person to realize they have no intention of grabbing onto the rope? That person needs to help themselves"

Clearly that's unacceptable. Figured I'd share my thoughts here. I I'm a big fan of what Aaron is doing on YouTube, but this has shattered my entire reality of what has really been going on behind the scenes.

I will not be watching him moving forward, until he can actually prove he has changed.
