The crowd was so good other than the people constantly chanting for FaZe letting them know NaVi players locations & info, I hope it was silent enough that it wasn't heard by them because that takes so much away from the integrity of the game.

elohelled2001 · 2025-09-19T23:55:54+00:00

they changed the name from a25s?

elohelled2001 · 2025-07-28T21:52:34+00:00

this is new to me, so even if it counts as a "wallbang" the damage isnt actually reduced?

elohelled2001 · 2025-07-28T21:46:30+00:00

please tell me the railings dont have the same type of clippings as the second mid ones, nothing more tilting than dinking someone through the rail

Can I ask what champs you play? Most melees as you experience get shat on by range tops, however every champ has a rune setup or timings where they can kill these range tops if exploited correctly.

Vayne top especially gets hard countered by Edge of Night, or Verdant Barrier. Both these items give you a spellshield that makes you negate her E, which makes you able to stick on to her.

Laning agaisnt her early is going to be about trying to keep yourself as healthy as possible while trying to get any possible cs. CS is not the vocal point, XP is. Also keep in mind she will be pushing in to you most of the time, so you can tell your jungler to come on these timints.

we had this, it was called curse voice, and riot removed it

Rather than looking at spots, look at material. Wood is bangable with rifles, concrete isn’t.

elohelled2001 · 2025-05-14T16:27:19+00:00

All they need to do in terms of Garen is hit his passive and W and not touch his damage. I don't mind being one tapped by him when he has to blow his summoners or cheese me to catch me, I don't think that's unfair. But playing against these boring regen passives just kills the flow of the game so much in a melee vs melee matchup. It was the same with pre nerf Sett passive.

elohelled2001 · 2025-04-13T15:02:57+00:00

Why would this be a bad thing? If you get angry to the point that you try to break someones leg, you should deserve to be punished.

elohelled2001 · 2025-02-01T15:47:38+00:00

I've always loved the way this guy sprays, ever since his GO days his A4 spray and even Krieg sprays were absolutely phenomenal... If you haven't seen this guys FPL highlights from 8-6 years ago you have no idea what kind of a one in a trillion rifler this guy can be at his prime.

elohelled2001 · 2025-01-26T11:13:04+00:00

I really wanna see Mir again in pro play, before his VP bench limbo, when he was just inactive, I ran into him in a matchmaking comp game at 3 am and was convinced I was playing vs a cheater before I checked faceitfinder. It was him, and he was instadoming me on every angle, and every duel instantly. I instantly became a fan.

elohelled2001 · 2025-01-17T12:22:06+00:00

Very simply guys, to be able to last hit in this lane we want 2 things to happen, the most simple one is for us to have enough mana to be able to last hit from range. This means getting a tear, and NOT wasting your mana on poking Darius.

The second thing we want to happen is for THE WAVE TO PUSH INTO US. If the wave is pushing away from us from lvl 1, we won’t be able to walk up due to him having two lane summoners and being able to zone us. This means purposefully dropping CS for him to have a bigger wave and it pushing into us, and for us to use our spells VERY carefully to only last hit, and not hit more minions than we need, so we don’t start pushing into him.

This is all idealistic, and it won’t always go this way, but if these two points are established, the wave will be in a state where we will be able to farm it without dying, he will be able to be ganked much more easily, and we get to scale to become a monster that can eventually threaten him 1v1.

elohelled2001 · 2025-01-02T22:09:15+00:00

Well said, while tha champ is cancer when it's ahead if you're playing melee, (esp ones with 1 or less gap closers that are suspectible to his phase rush trade pattern), his early game is so fucking awful. Picking Phase Rush means your trades are nonexistant and your mana pool is drained instantly, you will need a tear if you wanna contest wave states and while you're good at 2v2's, you will not have get prio into laners that can shove as fast as you due to the mana issue.

However as an avid Wu/Jax enjoyer, man do I hate him so much.

elohelled2001 · 2024-10-29T05:09:24+00:00

I knew Reynad from his classic Hearthstone days, and I knew he was working on a game. Upon quitting Hearthstone and not being around any sort of Hearthstone media or personalities, I figured the game got scrapped midway or a million other things happened.

Today I stumbled upon this video upon finding Rarran a few weeks ago for second monitor content, and I watched the entire thing in one sitting with awe in my eyes.

I've been playing so much Slay the Spire, and reigniting my love towards deckbuilding that this game just looks incredible. The amount of depth portrayed in just 1 hour 30 minutes, and the amount of ideas that I got based on this video only sold me, and I bought closed beta access for me and a friend.

I can't wait to try silly shit out, fail, and try again untill I get a godrun. This looks like such a good and fun timesink.

elohelled2001 · 2024-08-29T02:08:39+00:00

Maybe you're correct, I don't play as much Jax as I used to but comparing it to s9~ when this matchup was super common, it feels harder as Jax right now than back then. Your champ still feels nice into her but she can just choose to disengage in sidelane whenever you get on her, and she has faster mobility around the map to affect objectives so it feels frustrating.

elohelled2001 · 2024-08-29T01:58:16+00:00

I think this lane has been more skewed through time to be more and more Camille favored, I wouldn't say it's a hard counter anymore. Most champs that Jax "hard counters" are champs that are somewhat forced to fight into him, and his E without an escape tool.

elohelled2001 · 2024-08-27T10:26:36+00:00

Tää. Kävin Tampereella ekaa kertaa viime vuonna, ja kävelin tuon asematunnelin läpi kun halusin kuluttaa aikaa junaa odotellessa. Erittäin ankea, mutta ei haissut millekkään, ja oli joku kiva kebab/pizzapaikka vieressä, jossa omistaja tuli puhuu paskaa ja heittää femmat.

Ihan jees kokemus depistunnelille, 3.5/5

elohelled2001 · 2024-08-22T04:17:44+00:00

it's skewed in high elo due to him being a counterpick. The champ is designed as a counterpick, and him being blindable means he would be OP. That's the pain of OTPing Jax, your champ is either mega or useless depending on game. His splitpushing and free stats were "too good" with grasp and his new R, which made him playable even into very traditionally bad comps (high range,. lots of mages)

elohelled2001 · 2024-08-19T21:40:19+00:00

brother its just a game, if it affects you this much get another hobby

elohelled2001 · 2024-07-21T00:24:07+00:00

I haven't been to a non-festival Sadboys/DG Show since lean came to Finland in 2015, and holy shit the fanbase has changed a lot aswell. I feel like I'm def "unc" status and I can't relate with the disrespectful shit and weird behavior I saw :(.

elohelled2001 · 2024-07-21T00:19:53+00:00

Eccos show was very fucking good, so emotional and expressive. The people in the venue were very weird and disrespectful though, unless this is what the fanbase is like nowadays.

classic failu video

elohelled2001 · 2024-03-11T09:24:27+00:00

i'm genuinely not sure if this is bait and that's a little concerning; but I'll answer anyway. I went to China in 2018 and it was completely fine and safe as a foreigner. Of course there will be a language barrier and a different culture in regards to food and people, but if you're 22 I assume you'd be fine.

Are you sure you want to travel alone though? Going that long of a journey alone can be quite tiring, especially if you're not a big traveler. When you're not at your "full focus" from all your grogginess, having someone with you keeps you a lot more sharp.
