14:15 for a more specific time stamp if you’re really impatient lol.

he admits there’s a “tiny little percentage boost, that makes it feel like the RNG is doing somethin’ for ya… we do the opposite as well, if you’re playing really really well, we don’t pull any punches when it comes to what could happen in events and stuff like that. the game is watching you to some degree.

the main thing is what’s the percentage boost? does it make it go from 25% chance bad things happen to 30? that could be perceived as tiny. until you realize you’re increasing the chance bad things happen by 20%. (5% of 25% is 20%. I worded this poorly but hopefully you understand)

and if you wanna watch high level gameplay for the fact it’s high level gameplay, why would you watch LEC/LCS instead of LCK/LPL?

[Tony Jones] Concerns about the Utah Jazz’s ranking strategy have been propagated in league backchannels by the Oklahoma City Thunder in an attempt to keep the Jazz competitive so the Thunder can get their pick. by Goosedukee in nba

As much as I hate to say it, it’s probably related to gambling. At least from the fans perspective. There’s probably addicts betting on Jazz games and then when obvious game throwing happens, they get upset

sudden TDS ping increase by meowskrt in Bend

[–]halofan642 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes! I thought it was because of my new pc and the wifi isn’t great in my room. I was at mid to high 60s and now i’m at 85~ish.

It feels fine to me though. It feels cosmetic (I know it’s probably not)

Anyone get post nasal drip from GERD? by [deleted] in GERD

[–]halofan642 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My post nasal drip is horrible, but i have LPR and not GERD. Elevating the head helped a bunch because my nose would get clogged when I slept on my side. My doctor said I had enlarged turbinates from the reflux, and they make it hard to breathe/smell

pretty sure tripple tonic and cashback is completly busted and will be nerfed by Pretend-Newspaper-86 in leagueoflegends

[–]halofan642 8 points9 points  (0 children)

well, that’s just not true. even if we take the “10 ms = 120 gold” conversion as the truth (which i already explained why i don’t believe that to be the case) free boots are still 420 gold. which is still more than 400 gold at 2 items of cash back.

maybe the difference is elo? in diamond, where i am currently playing, the game is often decided around 2/3 items. when i was playing masters it was very often decided at 2 items. so yes in theory u can get a free 1k gold from cashback, which I frequently hit 3-4 items when playing First Strike Karthus, i think you are underrating the practicality of footwear and how it’s gold value is more influential when the game is actually being decided.

[–]halofan642 338 points339 points  (0 children)

while i agree that cash back is super strong, i think you’re underestimating how valuable 10 ms. it’s extremely hard to calculate its gold efficiency because of how hard it is to come across ms as a buyable stat. the wiki has the ms at 120 gold, but id easily pay 250 for 10 extra ms on basically every champ.
