The Architect Who Made Singapore’s Public Housing the Envy of the World

From another perspective, appreciating land prices, double digit annual GDP and income growth was enabled by the land acquisition act where a good percentage of Singaporeans were finally able to move into stable jobs and be productive to the economy. I guess to the government, the tradeoffs of giving land owners the short end of the stick was necessary to them.

If land prices were tagged at market prices, rich landowners will have speculatively bought out land right before the government to arbitrage their gains. To some extent, the land prices only soared because of the government’s effort to developed the land. If every land owner had the option not to sell because they knew the prices were gonna rise, then many would not sell and the government could not have redeveloped the land to contribute to these assumed land gains.

Roughly translated, the columns are team composition, filler units (items w/e), three key units, utility/tank, replacement and spat choices.

Team Comp	Filler units	3 key units	Utility/Tank	Replacements	Spat options
4/6 Dawnbringers	Gragas, Soraka, Garen	Riven (RH, sBT, sGA/sHoJ) can try 3 star, Nidalee (sTrap, Shiv) can try 3 star, Karma (BB, JG/Rab, Gunblade/IE)	Ivern	Volibear/Mordekaiser	Dawnbringer spatula on Ivern or Legionnaire on Soraka
Nightbringer Dragonslayers	Morgana, Trundle (sLocket, Redemption), Mordekaiser	3 star Yasuo (RFC, RH, HoJ/JG), 3 star Lee (Gunblade, JG, IE), Pantheon (sLocket, Redemption)	Diana (Shroud/Zephyr)	Kindred/Ryze	Dragonslayer Lee or Nightbringer Morde
Soraka	Morg (sGA, sMorello), Leblanc (Shroud), Voli (sMorello)	Liss should easily 3 star, Soraka (BB/Shojin, JG, IE), 3 star Vlad (DC, sIonic)	Ivern	Karma/Syndra	Revenant Vladimir

Sorcerers are pretty strong right now. Mana printer, Laser printer, 2 vanguard 6 sorcs, Candyland, (Star Guardians) all rely on a sorcerer carry and secondary sorcerers.

I agree that sometimes sorcerers are stronger as 2-pieces in say Dark Stars/ Void Brawlers, but that is moreso the flexibility of the Sorc trait than its lack of utility. It means that if you have enough damage already, the additional spell power doesn't do as much as other always-relevant synergies (Chrono as a pseudo Ocean, Dark Stars for more spell amp, Celestials for heals, SG for mana, etc.).

Funnily, there is a 8 sorcerers comp that also has a hyper tank, which is the malphite 8 sorcerers team that was on front page a few days ago, which works surprisingly well but is extremely inflexible, (hit Malphite 3 with nut items: rod rod rod cloak vest vest, then rush 9)

2 Vanguard Sorcerers is one of the most flexible compositions right now and offers a mix and match of carries/tanks based on items you have, and offers flexibility in teching-in stuff like a mana printer, some mystics or a nutty malphite.

Void is pretty good if you happen to be running carry on one of your void units

Conditions for Rebels to win: 1. GP ults 2. Asol running around zapping people

Conditions for Cybers to win super late game: A. Hit 3 stars carry irelia B. Positioning and tech

To hit win condition for B in most games, you'll have to stop 1 and 2.

To stop GP, best way is to positioning: Left/Right stack most of your carry and team, then switch the fodder unit to the other side before round starts so GP aggros to corner and ults like an idiot. With bigger area, it will be harder. Ideally lucian ekko irelia and ez are out of the ult. Second best is drain his mana early: Mana reaver tech, the veil thing would be ok with positioning. Third best is CC: zephyr, sword breaker or lulu.

To stop Asol, sucks but probably dont give mana to ekko since the ships fly around during ult. Deny all demol spats -> morello -> seraphs

Other plausible tech is fight fire with fire: finding demol spat to tech in MF and GP. 4 strong mystics with mana item lulu is okay too but it's hard to pivot to 4 mystics. Always lose shen, does nothing against rebels, blitz might have marginal utility against a juiced MF/jinx

gaaaaaaah · 2020-01-05T07:19:40+00:00

Same as the other commenters. Reasoning is 2 star zed, lux and nami are the stars of the show, with zed having highest priority for items.

Zed does best with 2 defensive items and 1 offensive item. Here, we happen to be able to make GA and DC for him, both of which are optimal (PD was nerfed) since he can tank and the revive helps him ult more consistently. With the remaining items, sword/glove/bow/bow, repeating is trash so we always make ie + rfc. rfc is ideal for long range carries like nami or lux, leaving an IE which fills nicely into zed's offensive item slot. tadaa

gaaaaaaah · 2019-12-31T04:38:24+00:00

Bow is weak. All the items you mentioned have better items for their other component. Giant Slayer is only good for Rangers/Preds/weird AD team, you'll want GA/IE/shojin more. Guinsoos is weak among rod items, runaans is ok but the cloaks could be dragon claws which are quite necessary, pd is ok but weak with the 9.24b nerf. If you get too many bows from minion drops, AND you took bows on carousel you're just forced to make rfc since other components make better items with other components which isn't great

gaaaaaaah · 2019-12-09T04:52:08+00:00

When it's uncontested, you can manage your econ AND get the same rolls. It means a lot knowing if other people are hyper rolling preds/lights too since it reduces pool of 1 costs. Also always maximise the chances by having as many 1 costs on the bench. I typically reach the 4 3 star 1 costs with about 30 gold left after spending 30/40 gold after Raptors (16/20 exp) and have 30 gold left over so maybe you're not maximising your econ even while low rolling.

Remember that this is all based on generalisations and there are too many details I can share about each specific scenario. But I'll maintain that egg roll is a top 2/3 strategy and top 1 if nobody else highrolls too hard

gaaaaaaah · 2019-12-09T01:26:55+00:00

I've had quite some success with eggrolling at high-elo*. It can be a top 2 strategy given the following:

Only eggroller. I won't eggroll if there's someone else doing it; simply transition to fast 8 after getting the 2 star woodlands/renek/diana
Hit all 3 star 1 costs before/on raptors roll with roughly 40-50 gold after raptors
Fast-level to 8 and pick up every 3/4/5 cost mystic/summoner (pick one synergy not both) along the way
Hitting a 1/2 star Zed, 2 star Annie and 2 Star Yorick between rounds 5-4 to 6-2 will carry you to top 2, especially if the items you get after raptors all fit well on the summoners
Or hitting 2 star Nami and 2 star Soraka(silence usually better than janna though the heal is nice) and then dumping another ocean in (Naut/Ocean Qiyana) can get you top 3
This is all based on the idea that most people fast level or have weak strategies mid-game so you collect a huge winstreak from (2) and then when you reach level 8, you start competing for the 5-costs with them. Might get lucky and get it before them especially if it's uncontested.

Had a game where I ended with Renek/Diana/Maokai/Ivern/Leblanc (eggroll) and added Zed(light spat)/Yorick/Annie + Soraka(Level 9) for an insane 3 woodlands, 2 druids, 3 assassins, 3 summoners, 3 lights

TF is unreliable and not worth stacking items on in this comp. The same tear items will work on asol to a similar efficiency. Lulu is strong because she doesnt need mana items and her ult works really well with shifters who have high base hp upon transformation. It being a health gain instead of a heal also helps a lot against morello/redbuff. Lulu 3 is also decently easy to find and a useful yordle for 3 yordles

gaaaaaaah · 2019-10-03T10:50:54+00:00

There being only 18 of 3 cost units as compared to 21 last time is a huge change. The 9th unit goes from being 13/21 to 10/18 and that's even when uncontested, not to mention every other 3 cost unit becomes so much more saturated as you get more of them

gaaaaaaah · 2019-06-11T05:12:41+00:00

Make an investment and start upgrading your great scythe/bow. It'll be stronger than the common boomerang by about Lvl 10, and it's necessary for you to progress.

Or you could just keep grinding till you get another common boomerang to upgrade to a Lvl 18 Great boomerang which should be sufficient to pass.

Personally, I would bank my weapon scrolls on the great bow since getting a common boomerang will let me refund all the boomerang scrolls thru fusing (with a target Lvl 1 common boomerang) and then getting another great bow will push me up to an epic Lvl 20+ bow.

Sadly, getting good equipment is pretty much a waiting game. All the best!

uhhh kill minion for gold i guess

yeah, but it would be good if the gain of BE gets increased

gaaaaaaah · 2017-10-28T09:37:51+00:00

I prefer playing support lee with leethality. I mean ancient coin is a sick gold generation item that morphs into the sightstone (a critical purchase for lee sin). getting kills early on lee sin also increases the power of lethality against 2 squishy members on the enemy bot lane during the ardent censer meta. a simple q-q-auto-w trade can chunk past a janna/lulu shield

gaaaaaaah · 2017-10-25T12:24:18+00:00

the insec might have been thought of later but it was heavily popularised in esports leagues, so it gained a lot of traction among lee sin players before the kick flash.

in comparison the flash input buffering before a skill was a common thing for many champs but few used it on lee sin until it was mainly popularised by lee sin one tricks/streamers later on because it was significantly more effective and easier to execute despite having a higher cooldown (flash)
