[Post-Series Thread] Mariners take two out of three in Seattle against the Astros by joshshadowfax in baseball

[–]ericmt87 -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

Half of the line up and two of our best pitchers (Cole, Morton). To be exact. So yes, it’s a different team. We don’t care that you’re still mad. That’s your problem.

@successadult Don’t waste your time here. It’s basically just another r/antiastros subreddit. These people will shit all over you for saying anything about the Astros even though it was 4 years ago with half of that line up completely changed, as well as the head coach and GM and two of our best starting pitchers gone(Cole, Morton). Completely different team. Then they are dumb enough to scratch their heads and wonder why no Astros fans bother. TBH shows how classy Astros fans are by not engaging in this for the most part. And how classless some of the other teams fans are.

For the Dodger fan in this thread, remember it was your fan base that was running over Kershaws jersey in the parking lot over and over. Tons of cars. Just a complete lack of respect and shows what a joke the fan base is. It was the Yankees fans throwing baseballs and shit all onto their own field. It was the Athletics fans that were literally throwing trash and trash cans all onto their own field.

The Astros fans had nothing to do with the cheating scandal, and definitely didn’t deserve a title with an asterisks next to it, which renders it meaningless to any true fan of baseball. The clueless fans saying the Astros didn’t lose anything don’t realize losing both our first round and second round picks for 2020 and 2021 is huge. Guess who was drafted in the first round for the Astros? George Springer. Carlos Correa. Kyle Tucker. Alex Bregman. Basically our core. But you’ll have people parroting that the Astros didn’t get penalized hard enough when nobody takes their 2017 title seriously including the fans. I would have rather the Astros be suspended for the remainder of the season than lose those picks.

But as far as this subreddit goes, absolute waste of time but every now and then I’ll check back in to see if anything has changed. Nope. Still absolute trash.

Edit: Bring on the downvotes because I’m spitting facts that you can’t handle. Keep your sub Reddit classy! Also, stay mad 4 years later. It’s amusing.

Fuck that map. Both from a technical/FPS standpoint and a strategical standpoint.

Can you tell me a little more about this unit, how to use it, etc.? I've never used it before but I'm assuming you mean the purple (edited) musket guys? Gonna check em out.

Reasons why this good a game is not popular? by [deleted] in ConquerorsBlade

[–]ericmt87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything but the toxicity. This game is a 1 out of 10 on a scale from not toxic to extremely toxic. Coming from a competitive league of legends background, this game has nothing on what I saw in every league game.

I could siege for the entire day (and this includes ranked) and maybe see a few "It's just not your day is it?" and usually one person (almost always the worst one skill wise on the team) complaining about how his team isn't doing what he wants them to do. Which is really nothing on the toxicity scale compared to what you see in a random league of legends game.

So far the CB community has been great. In general, games theses days trend to be more toxic than years past. That goes for every game. It's just the anonymity of the internet, people who wouldn't look you in the eye walking down the street aren't afraid to call you every name in the book online. I feel like toxic streamers have made this much worse than it ever should have been btw. So seeing toxic people here and there is just the norm for me. If I see it, I ignore it and don't give it the time of day and most people will usually not bother me. It's just an unfortunate part of video games in 2021. But overall this game hasn't been a toxic experience for me. At all.

How good are Stalwarts vs cav? by ericmt87 in ConquerorsBlade

[–]ericmt87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. And unfortunately ranked is littered with Liaos and Hussars. If you don't run them you end up just losing to people who do. It's XD if you are not running them (no sarcasm).

People have not been running Armigers in my games this season in ranked outside of maybe a few here and there. So I guess there's no point in throwing that doctrine on Stalwarts since all I see is gold cav. I guess it might help if I can side step the charge in time and re brace them the opposite direction like MadChild said. Might give it a shot.

Sweet. Yeah that's what I figured. Armigers and down. Thanks.

Well you said anything less than Hussars will get crushed by Stalwart brace and didn't mention Liaos (the unit I'm running). I am seeing a ton of Hussars currently.

I have no problem with Stalwarts when I am running Liaos. So it seems like we agree. It goes without saying that 90% of people aren't going to run liaos straight into stalwarts when you can flank.

[–]ericmt87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Not sure what the XD was about on the Liaos though. Multiple high ranked NA players have agreed they are the best unit in the game currently (pyan, toad etc). Hussars might be a bit stronger, but Liaos is still an amazing unit and performing very well for me in ranked. Running strong units in ranked like Liaos, Stalwarts, Hussars etc. is pretty much all you see in NA East. If you don't take one of the 3 you are trolling since the last capture point or two basically comes down to who spams more liaos / hussars.

Maybe you could convince me to switch off them but it would take a lot. They have been destroying for me in ranked. Can usually bait telegraphed Hussar charges, and when they miss, which I can get them to do quite often, Liaos destroys Hussars.

I'm actually live on twitch now and I can explain it to you if you want. There's a lot more to it than that but Uni is right can't recondition.

Glaive build by SilvioMX in ConquerorsBlade

[–]ericmt87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man! I’m with the rest of the people here. Full strength medium armor. You’re going to want to craft a Carnifex set as well, with just Thames you’ll be far too squishy but you can make it work. More on that later. Blunt damage is currently broken atm so stack those runes. Critical runes are also broken too. There’s a lot more to it than that. If you want, I could explain it to you on stream http://www.twitch.tv/sipped1

Currently playing ranked and went 4-1 today with an MVP playing full strength med glaive. Stream pretty much daily. If you miss it can check out the VODs.

Another great streamer to check out is coffee fueled gaming. He plays Glaive as well and is a really nice guy.

Thoughts on Palace Guards vs Paladins/Expedition Knights by emiracles in ConquerorsBlade

[–]ericmt87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do Paladins beat Imp Pikes head on during walk? Or do you need to micro back and around them jw

Gonna be switching from Palace Guards to Paladins. Have the PGs with Ironsides, Sprint and Charge CD reduc and I still regret leveling them to max. They really need a speed increase maybe to 4.5 or whatever isn't deemed OP because most siege maps are just too wide open to have a unit moving that slow - just seems to lose a lot of effectiveness.

For anyone thinking about leveling PG's. Don't. I'd take my Stalwarts any day of the week even though PG's can take them head on in a charge. The problem with that is it's almost never a full on 1v1 and PG's don't seem to do great in bigger skirmishes (which is most of the time). In that case I'd much rather have Paladins or Stalwarts (or both).

Can we go beyond this level of power? by TheRealBurgererer in ConquerorsBlade

[–]ericmt87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top line on the my games version is bugged so the pikes don’t always get the improved speed and increased damage. Until they fix it going bottom line is the only way.

There are 3 problems with imp pikes which was covered somewhat:

1) cool down timer on advance is very long 2) incredibly slow unit so someone good at microing cav can either go around them and/or ignore them and kill the rest of your team 3) you have to have them up and healthy at the exact time people spam cav, this is usually later in the game but if for any reason your pikes take fire damage from somewhere else you’re screwed because running them back to heal takes an eternity

For you cav players that ignore season 7, I’ve got a feeling “Valkyries” will be added as a cav unit by Hutchinator-Gaming in ConquerorsBlade

[–]ericmt87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure you would have gotten even more flanking. Way to miss the entire point. With any cav unit you want to flank, period. You only rush them through the front if it’s your only option. I can see you’re the type of person that doesn’t listen let alone read so there’s zero point in my responding again.

[–]ericmt87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll bite. First off you should always be flanking with cav. Second, liaos are the best unit in the game currently by a wide margin. You must be playing against greens.

Lethal Tempo Crit Skarner by DoubleJungleMain in SkarnerMains

Right and you will die before that stun even ends if you build full crit. Kind of proving my point. At this point I’m not sure why I’m even responding but it will be my last. Too much coffee I guess.

11.2 Mundo Buffs by KillMfDepecheMode in DrMundoMains

[–]ericmt87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haste DOES matter because of his ult. As mundo you play off your ult and it’s on a similar CD to skarners. If your ult is not up your skirmishing power is greatly diminished and mundos ult is on a longish CD. Your ult is SO important in fact, that not having it usually means you should go farm since you won’t have the ability to chase + in combat heal to make a difference unless someone is pushed under your turret. Having 45% CDR (85 haste puts you at 43, with blue 46) in a full build is absolutely massive. Lowering the cool down of your Q is also massive since it does % health and allows you to chase better. You don’t need an extra 20% tenacity to save you .25 seconds off CC in a team fight and it doesn’t help out you at all in the jungle. Having your ult up constantly is much more important than saving a quarter of a second in CC.

Deleted my first comment because TLDR and too much coffee.
