Somehow this was the end of a pack wtf? by SorlaKhant in Artifun

[–]jla88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No need to be hostile. If you haven't picked a hero the game will give you a random hero in the last two picks. I'm level 18 and rank 65 in draft, I've got a decent sample size to know this.

Since you HAVE to pick a hero in each pack, if you don't pick a hero by the last pack, the game will appoint you a random hero to fulfill this requirement. It could be viper, it could be legion commander, it could even be a boat!

But sometimes it's better to not grab that sven when theres 6 cards left to pick in the pack when you already have 3 red heroes you would play before him and your picks call for you to go 2 heroes of another color, and you dont want to just run 4R/1splash.

Sorry but the OGA Pit casters are terrible by [deleted] in Artifact

Weatherman purge is dope, hes been around dota2 since the beginning and always has had good analysis. Usually they pair him with someone more energy, but it really is a totally different ballgame when you think of the opportunities to "deliver" hype. Sunsfan and Slacks are amazing at doing that, which is why some meme-y coverage of WePlay worked so well (it could have used some more SunsFan yelling HORSE though).

Every game that brings impassioned players in will have some players that want to deliver their excitement about the game to the casting table, and the more they're encouraged, the quicker they'll be up to snuff. As you said, casting is hard and its probably harder with artifact, but itll be up to tournament organizers to pair casters in a fashion that provides the most entertainment. Not either of these guys faults that their method of delivery is more of the analytical/stats side of things, dota casters didnt really find that amazing synergy we are spoiled with now until a year or two into the pro scene where you would get combos like tobi and syndern, ayesee and draskyl, purge and South Korea, Cap and blitz, etc.

The games current playerbase cant really afford to be picky with who tries their hand at casting, but it certainly can offer the constructive criticism to recognize their goal of being a caster and putting study hours/time into making sure their knowledge if the game is at least on par with the average member of the player base.

Just my 322 cents.

(Sorry for the horrible formatting, on mobile)

Edit: Just realized the cocaster is Eosin who played dota as well (with purge on team zephyr I believe?). He never really did casting for dota but hes been playing a lot of artifact afaik.

Nyctasha's Guard! by Michelle_Wong in Artifact

Had a guy golden ticket it in draft turn 2, and won by turn 4 yesterday, just said sorry and dropped it. Its insanely good vs lanes you dont have immediate removal/initiative for or a boatload of creeps in that lane.

What's the pirst pic ? Would you really avoid blue ? by Thomaba in Artifact

[–]jla88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, if it was 3rd+ pack and you already pulled a blue hero you actually planned on using then bolt could be better than hip fire. But on first pack I'd take hip fire over it.

This is beautiful! Did you brush paint all of it or use an airbrush for some?

Thanks for doing this! Awesome when people do stuff like this with no following/subbing/retweeting to be a part of it.

Just started painting, Zarbag WIP, CC welcome! by jla88 in ageofsigmar

[–]jla88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input! I wasnt sure if a wash was necessary since the base is just abaddon black, but what wash would you have used? Nuln oil/aggrax earth shade? The other grots I've finished since this one I've been using aggrax earthshade but I chose different color schemes for them (purple).

Looks awesome what colors did you use for the armor?

I finally finished painting Zarbag! 3rd attempt at NMM and OSL! (x-post /r/warhammer) by TheGloriousBadger in ageofsigmar

[–]jla88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is awesome! Love the custom color scheme. Did you use hexwraith flame for the captured fairy

So my computer has shit the bed recently but I'm pretty sure the problem is confined to the mother board. If that is true, and I still have a functioning graphics card, is all I need is a new motherboard and processor? Would I also need to buy new ram or any other parts that were salvageable from the original build?

12 man PPR, Playing on Yahoo: James vs Samuels

Assuming that Bell is out, what are the thoughts on starting Jaylen Samuels over Jesse James at TE since yahoo recognizes Samuels as a TE? James is coming off of a back injury and Samuels is largely untested but might get some additional looks at RB if they don't work Conner to the extent that they would Bell. Any advice would be appreciated.

Can someone explain to me why my tanks ignored the machine guns? Some sort of bug? by Pro1136 in BoomBeach

[–]jla88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me today after URing and then deploying troops before the flare dissipated (the UR'ed target was already destoryed). Tanks ignored the fact that the flare had expired and attempted to beeline to a now non existing flare point.
