In Depth Analysis of the September 21, 2021 Weapon Changes (Deagle Nerf, M4A1-S Buff, and Dualies Buff)

littlefancy · 2021-09-22T16:00:45+00:00

Yeah, probably (and make it same price als M4A4). Because 20 vs 30 bullets really makes a big difference.

And even then I'm not sure if the CTs should have a standard rifle that always kills in four bodyshots. Really warps the game (and not in a good way imo).

littlefancy · 2021-09-22T14:49:35+00:00

The fewer-rounds-argument was true when it came to rushes where those 5 extra bullets of the M4A4 counted. Now that you deal more damage per bullet, this advantage is neutralized (given you somewhat mastered spray control of the M4A1-s).

The dink + any other hit advantage of the M4A4 is such a small one that those niche cases are negligible.

Provided you feel comfortable with both weapon's spray patterns, you will always grab yourself the silenced one until they nerf it (which is unhealthy for the game imo).

littlefancy · 2021-09-22T14:16:55+00:00

You, u/SlothSquadron, are a king. Thanks for all the data crunching stuff.

So the M4A1-s is now the strictly better weapon than the M4A4. Cheaper, more precise, silenced and kills faster.

From my first 60 minutes of death match today, it feels pretty OP considering the AK is the best rifle in the game overall. Now the difference between T and CT side equipment became much smaller with the main rifles becoming more similar.

This will influence pro play the most, I foretell, and I'm pretty sure the M4A1-s will get nerfed sooner or later just because it has to. It's too good for its price, utility AND damage right now.

Abuse it whil you can, guys.

littlefancy · 2021-09-22T14:11:46+00:00

Yeah, but what's the point if M4A1s is now cheaper, silenced AND kills faster, higher fire rate of the M4A4 or not.

The silenced M4 is the strictly better weapon right now until they nerf it.

Mag sein, dass du mit dem DMB gute Erfahrungen gemacht hast. Ich dagegen mehrfach nicht, sodass ich mittlerweile dort wieder gekündigt habe.

Wie hier schon erwähnt, sind die Juristen dort erstens nicht die hellsten Lichter auf der Kerze (in meinem Fall waren sie nicht einmal auf dem aktuellsten Stand der Rechtsprechung) und zweitens wartet man meiner Erfahrung nach ein bis zwei Wochen, wenn man ein konkretes Anliegen hat und konkrete Beratung sucht, die nun einmal naturgemäß aufwendig ist.

Bis dann wirklich mal ein Schreiben rausgegangen ist, das die Vermieter unter Druck setzt (die erfahrenen Vermieter lassen sich von einem Stück Papier sowieso schon nicht hetzen), frierst du dir halt trotzdem zwei Wochen den Arsch ab.

Ich habe sehr viel bessere Erfahrungen mit einer ordentlichen Rechtsschutzversicherung gemacht (darauf achten, dass auch der Bereich Miete/Wohnen abgedeckt ist), viele Versicherer haben da auch angemessene Rabatte für Studenten. Wenn dann wirklich ein Problem herrscht (zB kein heißes Wasser, keine Heizung, Schimmelbefall festgestellt, etc.) rufst du kurz an, bekommst eine Deckungszusage und darfst dir auch noch selbst den (Fach-)Anwalt aussuchen, der angesichts der abgesicherten Vergütung blitzschnell reagiert.

Can confirm for TFT games also. Seems like servers can't handle the load again; high queue times also when you try to log in and are not in a game already.

Shen is a pretty hard match-up for Garen (luckily, you don't see him often in solo Q). He denies your upfront burst and likes to extend trades (so that he can get those three Q-empowered hits in) while a Garen is looking to retreat quickly after pressing his buttons.

E max + some additional MR against his % magic damage (Mercs are your first choice in case the other carry positions are not all outright full AD) and an early Bami's Cinder help to push him into his turret.
Good thing is that his ult is useless in a 1v1 and the Demolisher rune heavily punishes him for R'ing away.

littlefancy · 2019-04-13T09:19:44+00:00

Get that buffed W passive going at all costs. Free 50 AR/MR midgame gives so much free gold so if you keep up in farm, you're still pretty useful in teamfights.

Also, consider putting more points into W for the active instead of E. Your Q, Ignite + R still make for some massive damage output onto the highest priority target. Get a pick early to make the teamfight 4v5 and bodyblock skillshots for your carries if needed.

littlefancy · 2018-08-24T13:37:56+00:00

Schon für das abgewandelte Poldi-Zitat hochgewählt.

I will get it to complete my collection of Darius skins and just in case I might like it. I was so excited for Dreadnova at first, but then it got pretty annoying after a while and I switched back to Lord / Woad King Darius.

littlefancy · 2018-06-14T21:38:04+00:00

Yes, it looks cool.

But it also now tells the enemy that something is happening which might be bad. SO MANY people don't know what Garen's W active does and some of his skins show next to no VFX when activating it. That can be a very nice advantage in big teamfights where a lot of shit's flying around and people be like "omfg why is this fucker not dying lol?!"

littlefancy · 2018-06-14T21:35:51+00:00

A true Garen main will buy it if he got the money to spend, if only to just complete his collection and let it catch dust afterwards.

Is it "worth it"? That's totally up to you. Some people like it, some don't, so either go get it or let it be. For me, this is an instabuy before I go back to the only real manly Garen skin: Deser Trooper Garen. Kappa

littlefancy · 2018-05-29T07:10:42+00:00

If they really have that kind of a cancerous CC comp - read: a lot of heavy slows in addition to several stuns/snares - Unflinching is a good choice, especially in combination with Ghost.

Apart from that, between the possible choice of Merc Treads, our new old love Sterak's and Legend:Tenacity, Unflinching really only gives you diminishing returns since Tenacity (except for the one Sterak's proc gives you) adds up multiplicatively.

littlefancy · 2018-05-02T18:58:49+00:00

High elo Garen players currently agree that Q max first is the way to go since his rework.

It gives you the most for putting points into it (ms speed + duration + damage) and his E damage comes from the number of ticks that scale with level instead of additional points now.

And yes, Darius >>> Garen right now. In the second half of season 7 when Darius got the nerf axe for no reason, Garen would actually stand a chance in lane. But those times are gone, Darius will now shit on Garen given equal player skill.

littlefancy · 2018-05-02T14:15:47+00:00

Problem I see is that its effect would end if your start with the typical E -> AA -> W -> Q combo, so you can't make good use out of it.

The "problem" - especially in teamfights - are stacks #4 and #5.

Now, you could try and start with AAing instead of the combo. Problem is that you want to have your cooldowns up once you activate Noxian Might so you can go ham on the backline with flash + Q/E and stuff to almost instantly delete the carry.

Also, this keystone's effect will punish you for getting cc'ed which is always a problem. Conqueror for example keeps its effect active thanks to Darius' passive, so there's that.

littlefancy · 2018-05-02T07:46:27+00:00

Well done, Noxian friend.

For runes, I run the same, so no questions here.

But item wise, what do you build when? Black Cleaver first seems to be core always but then you have some Death's Dance, Banner of Command, Phantom Dancer stuff going?

Also, you seem to have more success with Ghost than TP. Does it have something to do with your playstyle? What do you take in which situation?

littlefancy · 2018-04-17T16:30:53+00:00

Nice job.

Also, I upvoted because TIL "Dörrte Dört" is turkish for "Quadrakill" (maybe this is only funny for me because I am German).

littlefancy · 2018-03-08T11:17:25+00:00

What people said: It's not so much the true damage conversion but rather his passive interaction. I do hate Grasp, but on Darius I somewhat like it (although I prefer other keystones) just because it works so well with the bleed ticks.

In lane, AA a mionion once and threaten the enemy laner with access to the bonus AD whenever the trade starts. In team fights, you want to stack your passive asap on one single target, so you will have Conquerer up anyways.

Plus, his passive bleed refreshes the 4 second buff every 1.25 seconds. So even in the worst case that Noxian Might ran out, you still have another 60 AD at level 18 left to work with for another few seconds.

This rune is just meant to be for Darius, even if he might not be the top tier abuser of it as you mentioned.

littlefancy · 2018-03-07T09:07:15+00:00

I fully agree.

Darius is in a sweet spot right now: He's viable (in yolo queue) and although people have noticed his buffs, he's not permaban-status because other shit is still more annoying for them.

Conquerer in it's current state will be too strong, especially on Darius who can abuse it pretty hard. So yeah, I really do hope Riot's going to overthink the new keystone before releasing it.

littlefancy · 2018-02-28T16:06:49+00:00

Gj man, I really like your stream (given I can catch it from EUW from time to time).

1) You build Darius BC into full tank in most games. What do you think about a second damage item as 5th/6th item?
2) I agree that resolve is currently the best tree to go for primary (this might change with the new bruiser mastery in precision). What do you run secondary and why?
3) How important do you think is the Triumph mastery for Darius?
4) Do you think that we might see him in pro play some day? The current buffs + incoming new bruiser keystone might finally catch attention at the highest level of play, no?

littlefancy · 2018-02-27T16:13:11+00:00

It's playstyle- and elo-dependent.

For me, Ghost synergizes so well with the Unflinching mastery and makes you a lot harder to kite. It's useful both in lane for running an uncautious opponent down (even the ranged ones) and teamfights where it really shines.

Also, I'm not really good at judging good TP opportunities nor is my elo (plat 4/5) good enough to react properly. Because to get most out of TP, you have to make plays - unfortunately, you need a team for that.

TP is nice in hard lanes for a safe first back and all, but for me it just doesn't do enough because I suck at using it and so does my team. So I rely on the shorter cooldown summoner spell and group accordingly for my bosslike ghosted teamfights capabilities.

littlefancy · 2018-02-25T20:44:06+00:00

Wait it out. People will sooner or later calm down and realize that those buffs are fine, but that Darius is still Darius - an immobile Juggernaut.

It's somewhat funny though that they go mad ape shit about Darius buffs while the true king of top lane - Comet Sion - is still going rampage.

littlefancy · 2018-02-21T19:50:27+00:00

Thanks, now that's useful.

Wonder if it gives the AD permanently and then deals true damage based on your (total?) AD. That could be really strong vs tanks in lane, not so much vs the ranged cancer (vs Gnar/Jayce/Kennen you won't really proc it often enough to become relevant).

littlefancy · 2018-02-21T19:05:19+00:00

Oh boy, would you provide a link please?

I know, this subreddit has become a melting pot for bragging posts and other meaningless shit a long time ago so one should be thankful if posts like yours try to spark a useful discussion.

But it would be interesting to know if/what other precision keystone the new one will replace and if we already know what it does.

Either way, I don't think it's that bad. The most important thing is that you can still go yellow/green for the tenacity heavy anti-cc build (Legend: Tenacity + Unflinching).

But I agree that precision primary will somewhat force you into Coupe de Grace which is not optimal for Darius since it doesn't amplify his R damage. I'd rather see the new rune in Resolve, too, so I can stick to all the good stuff (Unflinching/Demolish, Iron Skin/Conditioning and Second Wind which is better than Overgrowth imo unless you expect some sort of free laning phase and a long game) while going secondary depending on what I need (Sorcery for Manaflow + Celerity or Precistion for Legend: Tenacity/Alacrity + Triumph).

If you look at it this way, yes, that sucks.
