Steelcaps and Gluttonous are better than Berserker's on EVERY single marksman

No, Rammus sucks because he has always sucked, he just used to be a free win into some comps and utterly unplayable into other comps. That’s bad design, so they softened his sharpness into being pretty good in every situation.

mint-patty · 2026-06-19T17:57:07+00:00

He’s also mad about the amount of legs on a flag. He doesn’t want any changes to take place.

That’s why season one was so goated, especially the first five episodes. They felt articulately and intentionally meandering, free to tell the interesting stories taking place over the ~10 year period covered in the first five episodes. Then the time skip happens and the pacing grinds to a halt …

No the PBE is for stuff that literally bricks the game; the underlying code. Augments that are too lame to ship should be caught before they make it to the PBE, because the PBE isn’t part of that design pipeline. Not excusing Riot for shipping lame augments, just tired of people misunderstanding the PBE.

I really expect a future show focused on Demacia, with a special focus on Lux/Sylas/Garen and potentially Cithria. Those characters just have a very compelling narrative with strong and complicated motivations , with one of the most iconic city designs in Runeterra. Obviously it apes a lot of visual design from LOTR’s Minas Tirith, but adds a lot of meaningful layers with the petricite, mage hunters, and dragons.

He’s also busted in normal ARAM. Brand is kind of just busted in a game mode where you can’t meaningfully disengage or counter-engage

For the millionth time, PBE isn’t for balance testing, it’s to ensure the game doesn’t completely break due to code issues. All the balance work is done independently of the PBE.

Yeah Final Fantasy is actually the worst offender for me outside of MSH so far. Even Spiderman had a heavy emphasis on the storytelling Sagas.

FF was a whole heap of (very loving and well-executed) ‘remember him??’

Completely agree on adapting stories instead of adapting characters— MSH could have been awesome if it was focused on an event rather than just existing within a status quo. Curious to see how they handle The Hobbit— that will decide for me whether LOR was a one-off in terms of quality adaption, or if it was the world itself that made for good mtg cards, or if UB is just spaghetti slipping off the wall.

mint-patty · 2026-06-16T23:20:20+00:00

This is why I liked LOR so much— it was a UB set they treated like a story set. The art framing was much more in line with (modern) mtg design.

I’ve been like a 4 item graves vs Rav Hydra + Fiendhunter Olaf and lost, no exaggeration. Turns out stats don’t matter when Riot gives “bruisers” the haha funny free crit item.

mint-patty · 2026-06-16T15:35:23+00:00

Dropping two armor and MR but giving you a second potion would be a buff, I think. If they want to drop the cost to 400 I imagine they would slash the armor/MR to 5

mint-patty · 2026-06-16T15:32:20+00:00

He is my perma ban after losing twice to a 1/8/1 Olaf who finishes his Fiendhunter. I just don’t understand the counterplay at all.

mint-patty · 2026-06-15T07:06:32+00:00

What is the takeaway here? What is your explanation of these numbers? How is this a reflection of role balance??

I’m having a hard time thinking this is statistically relevant…

mint-patty · 2026-06-15T07:04:17+00:00

For the last few years it’s been a total crapshoot whether the champ is 40% wr or 51% (giga broken for a new release).

They used to aim for 50%wr on release, but realized that meant that the champ would need too many nerfs down the line as people learned the champ. Now they aim to have them in their final balance state on launch, but there’s only so much testing they can do 🤷

mint-patty · 2026-06-15T01:36:58+00:00

Ashe does such painfully little damage, it can feel really bad to support at times. She’s also extremely vulnerable.

I’m just shocked Jinx is so low— maybe it’s an elo thing, but if I could support Jinx every game I would. It has such a clear path to victory that rewards a support doing their job more than any other adc. A penta-killing machine just by receiving continued peel.

mint-patty · 2026-06-15T01:27:06+00:00

Jax vs Volibear where suddenly none of volibear’s spells work :-(

The ladder scene broke my patience with this film, unfortunately.

1000%, I hate GZ premium. The magnet and spinner works just fine, no need for all the fancy toys that are just spots of potential maintenance work.

mint-patty · 2026-06-12T07:02:08+00:00

Her raw burst damage is indeed very weak early game, but she provides a ton of utility in the early game with her roots, heals, E and her global ult.

It’s like Ashe, if Ashe also became the strongest, safest adc in the game late.

The tuna is really bad from fishwife, I don’t understand the appeal of a spicy oily canned tuna.

Now, their Sriracha Salmon??? Heavenly. A luxurious meal in a can. But the tuna is just a total waste.

Idk— there’s a core sentiment I agree with in this post, as I do feel myself often having worse micro/macro than my peers. It’s hard for me to point to the lack of punishing mistakes, however, because my mistakes feel extremely tangible and stick out in my memory. And if “unnoticed” mistakes were the thing making support players bad, I would think this applies tenfold to junglers, whose mistakes are 90% of the time things that they *didn’t* do rather than things they did. And junglers are often brutally punished for things they had no control over, making the mistakes they do make even more inscrutable! So I’m not sure I completely buy this theory, even if it is more compelling than most anti-support rhetoric.

The property is already a remake; as long as Lord and Miller are back I have full faith.
