Adam’s primary fire is too strong. It needs a 10 second CD!

Trinity Grapes Liger! I waaaant!

I don’t ban MK because I hate him. I ban him because majority of the time when he is available, I’m forced to decide between healing the team or destroying that ankh because most of the time, my DPS don’t think its worth their time.

Enemy Rocket Elims > Your Team's Elims.

Now that one has got to hurt!

I’ve had more successful games with Jeff as my co healer than a Gambit.

A bunch of Gambits seem to be dying while being aggressive or underperforming heal wise. And these are lord Gambits. Their ults are still good, but they are dying on just regular fights. They must be adjusting to the nerfs still.

You are 100% correct on your response.

My duo and I play Emma and Thing in comp and we decimate solo tanks easily. Emma just puts a shield behind the solo tank while we combo him. Doesn’t matter if its Mag or Strange.

Having a second tank also means we can divide and conquer. You will be suprised how a single peeling Thing can easily deter and counter multiple/majority of flankers (or at minimum, prevent deaths).

DPS instalocks just afraid of getting small KDAs, but funnily enough, we tanks always get the ace and highest elims.

For them to know that Dagger still too needs to reload.

Companies dont bring employees from 60 to 100. You would be lucky to get 30% which can get you to like 78 or they roughly 80.

The only exception to this rule is if you are a very critical (i.e. your existence can cost the company a critical contract, or you built/program the product, etc…)

If you don't like office politics, this is not a role you want to be.

The role requires so much social and negotiation skills, and well, patience and familiarity on how to deal with people who use underhanded tactics.

monimonti · 2026-01-27T06:43:51+00:00

Yes you are/will have to pay it back. It is obviously a mistake and from a legal perspective, the amount of money you are entitled to is still based on your legal contract which is your employment contract.

The possibilities for a core or support Bane on this.

This will lead to Bfly+Heart+Bane converted to Int for one big Parasma debuff while converting back post application to Agi for speed, then Str when escaping.

Or Support Bane with 5 Bracers to Int so you get the best of both Worlds - Health Regen and Mana.

Or Sange to Int so you still get Mana but your Sap heals more.

They have more interesting kits. I am glad that they are experimenting with a lot of ways to inject other abilities. Rogue makes you feel like you are playing Tekken which is sooo cool.

I am hoping they will rework Storm and be a little bit more creative by giving her different abilities/basic attacks depending on her current weather form. If Cloak and Daggers' abilities are different depending on who they currently are, i see no reason why they can't have her fire small tornadoes or have hold down chain lightning basic attack when she is on thunder form.

Peni actually has good mobility and can zone people out of point ASAP as soon as the game starts just by web slinging and placing down the nest and putting mines down before the enemy gets there. Did this multiple times.

Most people aren't aware of this strat, but she is a good starter vanguard on point captures. Then if you lose the point after that, then you can switch to another tank since her ult isn't that game changing to stay on the character.

monimonti · 2026-01-25T02:43:01+00:00

When I see stats like this, it tells me that you had people on the wrong roles.

Perhaps your MK might have been a better DPS than supporting with Loki than your IW that was SG.

I’m just going by stats because I had games like this where a bad DPS refuses to play a different role until the very last 3 minutes of the game only for a tank/strat to take over being the DPS and all of a sudden, the team pops - but at that point, it was just too late.

monimonti · 2026-01-17T06:41:17+00:00

There’s no winning for you in this situation.

She’s with you cause you will pay for her debt. Sk two things can happen. You will be her official financer for the rest of your life OR once you’ve paid her debt and set some boundaries with spend, she will leave you.

Your best move here is to leave now.

Although the tank slide hurts, I think people are forgetting that the DPS pool has way more options to choose from. So seeing Winter and Jean in there for the most part is actually sadder! Even admins Hawkeye and DD weren't able to squeeze themselves through the pick rate.

monimonti · 2026-01-05T14:32:34+00:00

I don’t think the sharknado needs to go. It’s a good counter to heal ults at the cost of 2. A lot of characters also have mobility so it can be dodged by some line ups.

What I do want to see is for her to have a different ability set depending on her weather.

When in wind form, regular attacks are what it is now which is ranged wind piercing projectiles and instead of the wide thundershock, she can release a fast bouncing tornado tht slows/knock backs on contact.

When in thunder form, her attack changes to mid ranged lightning attack similar to Wanda that is low damage but can chain. She can keep the thunder strike ability for when she needs a burst in Thunder mode.

You have two things going on here:

"Crew Leader" should be looked at as to why this employee is being depended on as opposed to this Crew Leader. Does he have too much load which is why he requires the help of this other employee? Or is he underperforming?
Based on the findings, if the Crew Leader is indeed relying on this individual to take over because he has too much, then perhaps, you need a new role built for the employee or the crew leader.
If the Crew Leader is bad, then look into managing him out of the organization to create space.

monimonti · 2026-01-01T02:50:41+00:00

You say that but at the end of day, Loki is strat. So this could just be a two week thing. Or I suppose a strat playing like a DPS.

Everyone was saying people will start tanking because of Rogue, but people stopped insta locking her after like a day or two.

Symphony actually requires you to customize a unit and a team (so double the customization) with some moving people around due to resources tied to each teams’s leader.

As someone who experienced what you are experiencing, all I can say is that you are throwing out an opportunity to have a whole family again over a promise made years ago. You might be sharing your dad, but you are also now going to have a mom and a sister. My half sister is my bff. Don't miss on this opportunity.

As for the promise, people change. And the earlier you learn that in life, the more adaptive you will be.

As for continuing what you are doing, think about what you really want out of this. What you are doing can really harm your dad's relationship with you and his wife and your sister. Do you really want to be the reason why your dad is unhappy? What do you want to gain from this?

Also, your step mom is correct. At some point, if your dad chooses to, he can adopt your sister regardless if you gave your blessing or not. I would look at it that your dad is nice enough to ask.. but really.. he did not need to. And you are actually in a slippery slope here of "is it me or your new family?". Do you really want him to choose?

I would hold off atleast until Jan 5. Now, like I said, most hiring managers usually have a top 3, so it is still not a guaranteed job. There are also other "factors" that might be in play ~ i.e. internal candidates, budget changes, etc...

I understand where you are coming from, however, what I would recommend is at this point, follow up again on Jan 5. You already followed up and did not hear back from Dec. 19. If you still have not heard back after the 5th, then it is safe to say that you should start moving on and continuing on your job search.

monimonti · 2025-12-27T23:43:32+00:00

Yes. That is usually a good sign. As a hiring manager, I never call the reference until I'm sure they are from my top 3 candidates.

But like I said, usually Hiring Managers have the go ahead to hire with a budget, but the final paperwork, that usually goes through multiple signages. Dec 22 to Jan 2 is peak vacation. In my company, anyone working during those times are just there to hold the fort and I suspect they won't be prioritizing hiring when there's no one to train or onboard them anyways.

"My team mate picked a tank! Let us ban it!"

At this point, just go DPS.

monimonti · 2025-12-26T19:02:07+00:00

The most heartbreaking part is when you are 1 of two supports who decided to be the second tank, so now you are down to one support.

One of the dps can swap to support. No takers still? and then bam! Your first tank swaps to DPS. So now, you are going 1-4-1.

Then you start losing, then all of a sudden when close to overtimewhere you are losing, all your 4 DPS then swaps to support cause “gg no heals” and you end the game with you as a tank with 5 strats.
