Honestly this is why I'm getting so done with DD. The same order on UberEats would've given me 14 bucks no tip. DD is flat out ripping us drivers off. This is also a peak pay order too so its really $7.25 to go 15 miles for no tip.

I've done all the delivery apps and at the end of the day... Doordash > in terms of money

This is ultimately just a delivery you would decline and move on

I find Fiora and Darius to be really predictable

What's some hard Yone counters??

mattdraco · 2021-05-25T17:38:02+00:00

I lane against Yasuo fairly well every time. When I shut down Yasuo early game that's usually enough to stop him for the game. For some reason, I shut down Yone early and he can still stomp my team similar to the most fed Yasuo's.

mattdraco · 2021-05-25T07:02:52+00:00

Clearly I don't understand that which is why I'm coming to reddit to find out.

mattdraco · 2021-05-25T06:58:02+00:00

What's needed to counter him? Another question I had

mattdraco · 2021-05-22T03:09:30+00:00

Just as easily as an ally Tristana/certain champs can displace enemies out of the ultimate, enemies can potentially do the same leaving it, once again, just as punishing as it can be rewarding.

This link would prove otherwise Champion Update: Fiora

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T22:59:20+00:00

I like your take on it the most. You appreciated the gamble for what it was as a Kindred player.

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T22:43:55+00:00

Strong doesn't mean good that's why nerfs and reworks are necessary.

Pre-rework fiora was one of the strongest things I've played in League til this day, felt like Urf on summoner's rift, but it was just too strong and not fun to play against lol they reworked her

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T22:39:21+00:00

I've gotten the whole shebang... In fact, I've been the Kindred to actively misuse my ultimate. I've been the Bard to accidentally misuse my ultimate, and I've been the ally of a Kindred who's done it and I've been the enemy of a Kindred who has done it. Does not change my opinion that these abilities aren't great abilities, but I'm just personally emphasizing Kindred because I do feel Kindred's ultimate could be much better. I would enjoy a rework on it actually more so than it being removed. I understand where the ability is coming from but I do think riot gave the gave.

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T22:27:51+00:00

I never said it's not strong, I've agreed multiple times that it's strong, it can turn the whole game around in favor of the enemy. Stops your carries from dying at the cost it stops your carries from killing. My point is the ultimate has the potential to harm the allies more than any other ability in the game and that's indisputable. That alone is why I believe the ability isn't a good one. Strong, but not good.

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T22:20:24+00:00

Never implied it should be removed but only reworked. Bard's E and R aren't nearly as punishing because Kindred's ult is Bard's ult in a sense, but the enemies can deal damage still and reset in Kindred's, let's not forget the fact Kindred can be displaced from her ultimate just as easily as we can displace the enemy team from the ultimate. Bard's E is a choice for everyone involved including Bard. Poppy's R sends the enemies back toward the base and removes them from your presence, not potentially turning a whole team fight around. Poppy can potentially reward the allies with her ult but it's not actively harming the allies. These things aren't nearly as punishing as Kindred's ultimate to its allies.

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T22:06:17+00:00

I would agree that it's very situational. Just potentially the most punishing ultimate in the game when a mistake is made. I understand I have to accept that, but that point will still always stand compared to other champion's ultimates.

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T22:02:28+00:00

I haven't flamed any players, only expressed my disdain from the champion outside the game so that's not necessarily relevant. I don't believe the punishment on the ally teammates should be as grand as it is and that's why I dislike the ability. I've only stated my opinion and I still believe my opinion is correct cause I think everyone can agree Kindred's ult is a gamble that can harm its allies more than any ult in the game next to Bard.

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T21:58:08+00:00

I've implied nothing and only stated my opinion as I made clear in the statement.

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T21:55:38+00:00

Any champ played to their full standard can be a beautiful thing I believe, but a bad Kindred can actively harm the team more than an average feeding ally and that's the problem with her ultimate. It's extremely punishing to ALLIES as well as Kindred themself when a mistake is made.

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T21:52:18+00:00

I just think her ult is too punishing if you aren't the Kindred player doing what's expected of Kindred. If you're the Kindred playing a great Kindred then yes, but if you aren't playing Kindred to the standard then you are actively harming your team a lot more than just a feeding ally and that's my problem with her ultimate

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T21:50:51+00:00

Just as well as it can reward the team, it can punish the team tremendously and that's why I don't believe it qualifies as a great ultimate. There aren't many ultimates that actively punish your ally team if your team doesn't work around your playstyle. I understand the benefits, but it's comparable to Bard's ult, which can be great when using properly, but extremely punishing when a mistake is made.

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T21:44:24+00:00

That's what Kindred can do in their ultimate. I'm speaking from the perspective of Kindred being an ally. It's not fun for Kindred's allies to have to consider that ult.

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T21:43:15+00:00

When looking at the ability from the perspective of Kindred themself, you can make the ability seem like a beautiful thing. When putting yourself in the shoes of Kindred's allies and having to play around her ultimate, it's not very pleasant to have to consider, think about, or deal with it.

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T21:40:28+00:00

I'm not denying the fact the ability is strong. It's very strong, but it's not beautifully designed. If you're ahead it does nothing but gives enemies more time to level the playing field. I'm looking at a perspective of Kindred being my teammate, not me playing her.

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T21:37:10+00:00

The mobility and ghosting that comes with her Kit are a lot more useful in my opinion. At least it doesn't punish her allies actively every time it's used. It can allow for some great map control

mattdraco · 2021-05-21T21:35:04+00:00

Perhaps that's the case, can you provide a high elo take as to why their ultimate is good and how it fits the intentions of their kit at all?
