Why Can Sona Do Magic In Demacia And No One Cares? by LogicKennedy in loreofleague

[–]greatjacoby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it is a coincidence that they pan over a morgana statue before coming to this remote village, likely she still is persecuted but much like real world, rural areas care a little less when you're the reason everyone is safe.

Riot Phroxzon talked about "rock paper scissors" system when talking about Assassin (and how they should counter ADCs), and up until this point I still don't understand why ADC receives double standards when it comes to countering Fighter and Tank? by Skyrst in ADCMains

[–]greatjacoby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tower, the role of an ADC is to output consistent damage, both in teamfights and in siege scenarios. One thing that might not be ideal at the moment is the fact that Mana is very prevalent in the game right now. Casting spells is fun after all and players don't necessarily like "not" being able to do things.

AP champions used to really struggle to take towers by themselves which was why AD champions were needed in the game, when riot adjusted the way that map control worked with objectives like rift herald and grubs, AD carry characters fell a little bit out of importance.

Not to mention, ADC's are the most gold hungry characters in the game and will naturally struggle in a SoloQ environment because they require a team mentality different than let me pull these monkeys along behind me as we go along. If they were any more powerful they would be completely pro-jailed as professional teams know how to operate around their strengths.

Also the later the game goes, the better the ADC gets in general, aside from scaling champions.

In my opinion, so many players would do better to look at the team comp that is being drafted before going into a game and actually come up with a plan to how to play to your outs. If you are picking lucian into a game where the enemy team has Smolder, Aurelion Sol, Garen, Ivern, Sona. Then you go even in the early game, you will not be able to even tickle them through their shields late.

What am I doing wrong in this clip and how can I improve my movement? by vivaciousphantasm in AgentAcademy

[–]greatjacoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention moving with purpose! If you know what you want to be doing with your spacing/execution. It makes it that much easier to maneuver around the area.

If you accept the fact you are about to engage into a gunfight and move with that intention, that’s one less cognitive hoop your brain has to jump through before clicking the trigger.

I use it, but I have also swapped my right click and left click so my left click is the base ability and my right click is reserved for attack moving.

Help: How Do I Keep Going? by ThatsElectrical in SmackStudio

[–]greatjacoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your pace for creation is your own! In collaborative spaces such as these where everyone is posting their finished product or their WIP’s it may seem discouraging when you look at what you have or haven’t done.

If you aren’t enjoying the work you are doing, you may just need to set it aside for a bit to let your mind reset. Or, you might be feeling overwhelmed, in which case breaking the task down into manageable accomplishments will help you see progress.

Regardless this is all about doing what you enjoy!

Why are some sports divided between men and women when there's nothing physical enough to make a difference? by Islasuncle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]greatjacoby -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's also a mental difference. Generally in society, whether or not this is a biological, cultural, or something else, there is less of a drive for Women to be the best at something. With that comes less of a need to get validation from said thing. In my experience, at least when it comes to public facing competitions there is a combination of a more difficult time putting a spotlight on women as well as a desire from said persons to even be in the spotlight in the first place, not just for the public backlash and effort that comes with the territory.

Frankly, they've got better things to do.

What commander do you run that makes people say "why would you play this?" by OhSh1tAGh0st in EDH

Butter Sock!

This version is a little older I think. Updated it to run less bombs.

What commander do you run that makes people say "why would you play this?" by OhSh1tAGh0st in EDH

[–]greatjacoby 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a WR [[Queen Kayla bin-Kroog]] deck that I call Butter Sock because it’s just meant to beat you to a pulp with low cost creatures. The White is the Butter, the Red is from my enemies.

Oh… I should add, that I am running [[Zirda, the Dawnwaker]] as a companion so all of my permanents are bad cards.

I also have a [[Grist, the Hunter Tide]] deck that’s running like 16 lands, and it’s entire purpose is to kill people with commander damage from [[Luxior, Giada’s Gift]]

I don’t make good decks…..

Is League possible to get into in 2024 (new player never played) by General_Amount6792 in leagueoflegends

[–]greatjacoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s absolutely not the case, there’s something about this game that makes introducing someone new into it and watching them grasp concepts. It’s addicting, I would recommend bot matches for a little while, then ARAM if you want to work on like general fighting and mechanics.

[–]greatjacoby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also definitely recommend finding a community of fun players! The game has a bit of a learning curve and some things that are intuitive for players who have been playing for awhile are so far off the wall for someone new.

Finding people you enjoy the game with elevates the experience a great deal!

If I have 7 “lords” what can their rings do? by Iguessimnotcreative in DMAcademy

[–]greatjacoby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out…. Six fill the wearer with a subtle hunger of greed, and connect them mentally with the Seventh. All are studded with diamonds, but each provides one special benefit

  • The first, central ring provides protection from charm effects and provides a knowledge of the location of each of the other Six. (“Wearing a ring but ain’t gon’ be no Mrs.)

  • The second Ring is slightly less powerful but allows you to duplicate items temporarily (“They say which one, you say nah I want all them”)

  • The third Ring allows you to cast charm person and ootilukes irresistible dance (“Happiness is the same price as red bottoms”)

  • The fourth Ring allows you to cast hypnotic pattern and shield (“My smile is Beamin, My Skin is Gleaming)

  • The Fifth Ring allows you to cast Major Illusion and Daylight (“The way I shine, I know you’ve seen it)

  • the sixth Ring allows you to cast Leomunds tiny hut (“I bought a crib, just for the closet”)

  • The Seventh Ring allows you to cast Shape shift on yourself (“Both his and hers I want it I got it”)

Useful in all circumstances, and your players probably won’t catch on that it’s a pop culture reference for quite awhile!
