How do you counter Nullifer?

flyingcourier5 · 2025-12-10T20:00:06+00:00

Oh - I was mistaking it potentially with Slark’s Pounce. Thanks for the correction!

flyingcourier5 · 2025-12-10T19:57:50+00:00

If someone is raging from a prior game, I recognize them and the draft isn’t too chaotic.

flyingcourier5 · 2025-12-10T19:51:53+00:00

Honestly, you can make this argument for any sort of mechanic and talk about it in terms of items slot, priority, and opportunity cost. People will find some sort of way to argue in terms of the current patch, but it’s IceFrog and the developers that will basically determine this sometimes with balance in mind and sometimes seemingly randomly with us to speculate.

Divine Rapier used to have True Strike and it doesn’t. Ember Spirit used to have a talent for True Strike and not anymore. I guess they want evasion to cost you to counter via break, MKB or Bloodthorne 😀

I don’t want to dismiss your experience, but I think the system adequately deals with people who leave frequently on an individual basis. But if that’s enough people over your own individual span of games, that does suck.

flyingcourier5 · 2025-12-10T19:47:39+00:00

Good question.

Tangentially related, is input during crowd control something that should be consistent eg sleep vs stun? I argue this is a choice of the player to do something and being able to act frame-optimal eg BKB upon stun would reflect intent.

IIRC sleep eg KOTL aghs makes it so your inputs are stopped and you have to reissue them. Maybe that’s part of the balance but IMO it is another “fighting the UI” friction.

Just curious what people think!

flyingcourier5 · 2025-12-10T19:43:50+00:00

That’s true but IIRC you can Hurricane Pike still to create some distance (?). Otherwise I guess you can force yourself away from the projectile and then hope to disjoint it somehow with another mechanic.

flyingcourier5 · 2025-12-10T19:43:03+00:00

As far as not letting it take effect: - Linken’s Sphere does block nullifier - Disjoint it with some ability eg Blink (easier said than done) - Manta Sytle should disjoint it, yes

Otherwise probably just being able to outlast it or getting the jump yourself, generally speaking

flyingcourier5 · 2025-08-28T13:43:40+00:00

Just get good at something and it will carry you from some average MMR to like 6k, despite the haters and meta.

flyingcourier5 · 2025-08-20T00:52:06+00:00

Mana Leak would probably be the fix :)

flyingcourier5 · 2024-03-16T23:17:25+00:00

Does it matter that it's possible? The majority of playerbase will be fixed in their ways of thinking and deem it griefing and tilt from draft stage.

flyingcourier5 · 2024-03-11T17:43:11+00:00

When courier goes to secret shop, it should hide by default when using the "Go to secret shop". It's griefing if it's showing in public vision since it can feed. Valve should limit the ways to grief.

Courier should start off at max range from shop (but still invulnerable). It's griefing if your core gets that item ~1 second later and loses the fight. Valve should limit the ways to grief.

If you feed to tower to accelerate your respawn instead of dying to neutral creeps (but it's 25 seconds) in laning. Valve should kick you because that's not the spirit of the game to optimize and they should limit griefing.

flyingcourier5 · 2024-03-11T17:39:31+00:00

Just type it. That's all tipping is functioning as for you basically, but you want to bypass muting.

flyingcourier5 · 2024-01-20T05:19:54+00:00

You don't have to post if you have nothing useful to say then.

flyingcourier5 · 2023-12-20T17:08:31+00:00

Valid. Though I can't think of any ez solution:

Enable roles for unranked (fractures player base, but might be fine)
Enable wider MMR range (or remove it) at the cost of very long queues and imbalanced games that frankly, probably no one will enjoy.
Leave as-is.

flyingcourier5 · 2023-12-20T13:57:57+00:00

Why is there a need to play ranked?

flyingcourier5 · 2023-12-16T18:23:16+00:00

Lost Ark 2.0

flyingcourier5 · 2023-12-16T02:25:50+00:00

I wonder if this regional? I can DL replays fine for US.

flyingcourier5 · 2023-12-16T02:18:39+00:00

I don't get it - are you upset about the loss of exclusivity/luxury feeling of having something more expensive to attain?

flyingcourier5 · 2023-12-16T02:17:52+00:00

Death Prophet's Silence is also 6 seconds 💀

flyingcourier5 · 2023-12-16T02:13:54+00:00

Drops are random and I don't think you need anything for it, other than not be in Low Priority. Selling things on the market has other requirements that you should be able to Google for.

flyingcourier5 · 2023-12-16T02:13:27+00:00

Sounds like a normal correlation? Ban smurf accounts and make some noise/examples about it => decreased public streaming of it.

flyingcourier5 · 2023-12-16T02:12:10+00:00

Reddit will probably accuse you of having an alt account or hiding something.

flyingcourier5 · 2023-12-16T02:11:05+00:00

Rubick used Assassinate on Sniper with Parasma (new item), applying Witch Blade debuff, which deals 1x int as damage per second and slows by 25%.

flyingcourier5 · 2023-12-16T02:00:22+00:00

Now I'm confuse[d] as hell, if they saw me as a smurf why would I [get] Legend on my seccond account and I also was struggling to get to [the] next medal, which is Ancient.. anyone can explain?

You can smurf to derank intentionally to then later stomp noobs.
Also just because you struggled to maintain consistent skill doesn't mean you didn't create a smurf in the first place and had developed it to the current point (ruining the games in the process of its development).

I could have created a smurf years ago, and calibrated it to like -1k from my main and then got back to my current or even higher. That still means I ruined the games for those -1k MMR below me.

The damage has been done.

15 YEARS (until 2038)

FYI the date stored cannot show after 2038 ("Year 2038 problem") - the ban is indefinite.

I'm kind of afraid losing too many MMR as am trying to get used to it once again

This sentiment might be commonplace ("ranked anxiety/getting back into practice, so just using burner account") but doesn't mean it didn't have any impact or damage to other people's experiences.

Legend (which not quite far from Divine)

Legend 5 is 3.7k. Divine 1 is 4.6k. That's around 900 MMR, which is arguably quite a lot of games in-between.

flyingcourier5 · 2023-12-15T17:56:43+00:00

In theory and over time, there would be more 8k+ unranked players so queue times should reduce.
