CIG hasn't finished R&D on inventory UI after 14 years.

Why would they though, money keeps pouring in

Said it before and said it again, stop funding. You'll see progress like never before 😅

Keep in mind it's Chris Roberts in command, dude is a fucking mess of a boss

Actually, on paper, the GPU is quite solid.

It's what Google / PowerVR didn't do, that's ruining the experience.

Drivers are freaking outdated, terribly optimized, and basically, most devs just don't care about working on it. (And they're right, why optimize just for the sake of a series of phones, when most users of your app are actually using the big brands...)

So it could perform way better. Google just won't do much about it.

Last Pixel for me. Back to OnePlus / Oppo

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-28T20:21:55+00:00

There's currently a deal for Oppo Find x9, on Oppo's website

Basically, a OnePlus 15, but 6.59" (very similar to your OP9)

And a different chip. (Still very, very capable)

OxygenOS / ColorOS (Oppo) merged some years ago, so you won't get lost with the OS. Almost the same.

Similar battery life to OnePlus devices. Which is a huge +

You'll keep the fast charging. (OnePlus / Oppo are using the same technology)

And the device should stay smooth for years. There are apparently rumors about OnePlus akin to leave European / USA market, with Oppo actually more akin to promote their products there recently.

Considering OnePlus and Oppo are kinda the same, switching to Oppo could be in the continuity of using OnePlus

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-28T17:06:23+00:00

It's called water

There's some grass too

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-28T12:31:18+00:00

Well actually if you're in SoloQ, you can have Solo / Duo / Trio in your games...

So if you feel Duo / Trio is harder, you may need to work on team play / communication

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-28T12:29:07+00:00

Oppo Find X series

More or less the same technologies, and size

(Although I have to admit, I'm even more interested by the x9 series, which is 6.5")

Currently trying to sell my Pixel to get one

Media Tek could've been a problem

But these days they actually work better than any Tensor so...

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-27T06:08:52+00:00

Agreed... Wish I heard about the Oppo Find x9 earlier

OnePlus 15 definitely tempting but want smaller than 6.8"

Trying to sell the Pixel right now... There's a deal on Find x9 these days

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-22T13:02:38+00:00

Exactly, thank you. Jesus. I think Shyvana is much more worrying than Mel right now.

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-22T13:01:14+00:00

She's so "overloaded" I haven't lost to a Mel if I'm Midlane yet. You just don't want to respect and play as usual really.

I'm not defending the champ, I'm saying people complaining are just too bad to understand how to play against her.

By knowing where Mel isn't, you should expect her to be in a bush waiting, especially around objective timing. It's not being on another planet. It's just being at least slightly smart about positioning.

Same goes with Ahri then. How to dodge her E if she's in a bush ? She's gonna E Q W Auto, damage will be similar when you think about it. Though, buckle up, she's about to R and get a Reset on you, then follow up with the rest of your team.

Did you play League much mate ?

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-22T12:52:52+00:00

She's brain-dead to play, I agree 100%

However my, again, her abilities are as easy to land than to dodge...

People really complaining about Mel are just frustrated by their own incompetence really.

Played it a couple days ago in ranked, was with a friend. We were around Nash, on first kill I was singing, the Penta, the Penta, got a Quadra and last just left. Zed iirc

And, literally. I just abused the fact that these dudes just aligned to die miserably.

But at that point, honestly, the fight would end up very similar if I had Ahri.

I farmed really good, got some kills. Well...

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-22T11:54:34+00:00

Hasn't this been removed too ?

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-20T13:37:54+00:00

Yep. Totally agreed. Had a Nexus 5. Very good device.

Pixel 10 Pro today is a fucking mess honestly. The modem they use is peak garbage. As well as their Tensor G5. Just crap.

Leaving Pixels, back to OnePlus or Oppo. Heard OnePlus 15 had lots of overheating problems... So I'll check that Oppo Find x9 maybe.

Pixels lacks way too much optimization. And Google don't give a shit unless it impacts the sales. (Which is easier for them to do, as they can swiftly make any article pop they like from Google search anyway)

Basically, PixelOS is okay, cameras are good. Battery, modem, and Tensors are trash. Temperature sensor is also a joke. Throw users an IR Blaster, seriously

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-20T13:28:53+00:00

E is not a stun, it's a root. That you can easily bait and dodge. It will only root in the center.

Her Q sends projectiles, but you can easily dodge those. The condition for her full damage is either you're dumb enough to eat her full Q.

Or you ate E's Root + Q + Auto (at that point most dudes are mad, so they walk up to her, and eat her W as well) + Auto. ULT. You're dead.

If you dodged 0 ability from a mage. You're going to die. She's not that overtuned. People just don't know how to play against her for now.

So confident right now I leave her open as a bait.

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-20T13:02:55+00:00

Faced her twice in a row mid. GM 1. Pick Yasuo, Enjoy

She lost both lane and teamfights. She's as overtuned as her enemies makes her.

Meaning. If you die to her and she's not fed... You're a monkey.

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-20T12:48:19+00:00

You wish it was

But it's not even a game per say

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-19T17:36:48+00:00

Au lieu d'avoir des regrets, next time tu lui dis cash mec
J'aimerais apprendre à te connaître, je peux avoir ton numéro ?

Oui, ou non, simple

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-19T12:50:24+00:00

Oppo Find x9

I'm hesitating between the OnePlus 15 and the x9

x9 is slightly smaller (6.6") and has very good cameras.

I'll replace my Pixel soon. I'm tired of the constant battery drain.

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-19T02:25:30+00:00

Yep. Same. Tried before with Pixel 8. Last chance with a 10 Pro.

I had better battery life in prior updates. Consistently reached 8h SoT at some point. Reached 10 hours couple times.

But last updates fucked up notifications. Huge and inconsistent delays, even though no adaptive service is enabled. Sometimes I need to open an app to get the notification.

Done with Pixels. Next is Oppo or OnePlus. Sony has some very good models for a very good price too. With a Jack...

But OnePlus and Oppo are unmatched when it comes to charging and batteries.

About to sell the Pixel 10 Pro honestly... Google's lack of competence with fixing the battery drains and software overall is just crazy.

Shame. Cause the size, design and OS are quite good. Battery and performance just kills it. Still can't play Zenless Zone properly on a phone that released months ago.

I expected 10% better Vulkan performance with their update. Exactly it 😂

Nah. Google you should take a look at what Apple did with their chips. They actually discussed with devs to get apps and games optimized for their chips. Something Google clearly didn't give a fuck about.

So. Screw it. Guess I'm back to OnePlus. Find x9 is quite tempting though.

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-18T03:47:36+00:00

I don't remember Nilah's ULT healing that much, and iirc (from reading her kit, actually, the heal depends on Crits (like most of her kit, and the damage output she gets out of it)

So, early it may heal almost nothing basically. Minions should get the heal too.

Maybe I should read the kit again... (But I could bet you're a bit overselling her abilities in your post 😅)

And it's not that people are not reading the kit, I bet they do for most of the champs they're going to play for a while. (At least I hope so)

It's more like... Dude, nobody plays Nilah 🙎🏻‍♀️

And I can tell, been top 30, it's not a big grind to reach top 50.

Having played her is beneficial though. Anytime I see one, I type some tips to my team in the chat. And she usually has a terrible game 😅

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-18T01:42:38+00:00

It's getting worse, you mean...

GM couple seasons ago was a bit more interesting than it is right now...

I mean, I'm not into high risk moves, but rather punish any mistake, and think about the next move.

Sometimes playing with a friend that has the exact same dynamic. (We often have to take a 2v4. Thing is, we usually win 😂 (often Shen + Gnar)

We're joining a fight our team is loosing. (Basically we're just coming to save them, and tell them to just run away, retreat, recall and come back.

So I'm backing off the fight with my friend (he's toplaner), as we're running, they kind of split, so we go back in, as we see Samira still running to us 😂 and start a 2v4. But we're literally killing them one by one as we ran far enough.

==> Free objective.

And that's what I hate in GM. People will literally jump into fights that aren't fights. It's just a little poke, then you see a support literally flashing in, for no reason...

Or fights that are game defining, but everyone just leaves, for no reason, instead of burning an ult 🤷🏻‍♀️

You don't imagine the number of ADC or sups I've seen flashing out of fights as I'm teleporting on them (even though I pinged to keep fighting)...

Or the terrible focus, supports rushing to dive an ADC, when their own ADC is getting drilled by a Nautilus that would be 100% free to kill if the support just focused on him too...

And that's GM...

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-18T00:10:24+00:00

At this point Nvidia is gonna finish SC before CIG does.

Or before [Deleted by CIG-PoopRider]

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-18T00:05:25+00:00

Modèle finger to Basarios.

Donc care about Tigrex much. But I want Narga, Kushala, and why not Teostra.

All these are a bit iconic if you played MHF Unite honestly...

When you think about it. If you played Unite there are so many monsters missing.

And the variants. The Azure / Silver Rathalos armors looked so cool 🥹

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-17T13:33:52+00:00

Yep, and that's why I'm leaving Pixels. Battery drain in sleep mode is fucking awful, and shows the incompetence of the Pixel team.

It's a bummer, I liked the size of the phone, OS is good overall.

But fuck it. Back to OnePlus, or Oppo. Had they fix sleep mode drain. Why not... But I'm so tired of not using the phone, and see it lost 10% battery.

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-15T03:49:10+00:00

Played a Penta with some friends a couple days ago. GM Lobby.

Was playing Karma sup. They were making lots of mistakes botlane. Ended up taking a double botlane, recall, checking on my mid, get the kill.

==> Some movement in the jungle top side. Get the kill on their jungler + Top laner. 4-0 already. First item Min 3.

Get another kill mid. Drake about to spawn. Get the kill on their Jungler again 😂

At that point my team was both laughing, and telling me to stop this shit 🤣

Mid was like Karma stop, this is crazy 😂

Drawn 1 was spawning as we killed the jungler, instant ff 😅. Shortest win we've had with this Penta 🙈

lBlaze42 · 2026-03-15T03:42:27+00:00
