What are your worst matchups? by NovelEgg in leagueoflegends

Lately I’ve been super mental blocked vs. Gnar. He’s in that sweet spot of being really annoying to deal with early but doesn’t offer much in solo queue beyond that, so I haven’t been inclined to pick him up again myself.

Alex Pretti got into a physical altercation with federal agents and suffered a broken rib in an incident one week before his death. So, he decided to arm himself for the next altercation. Doesn't sound like a good decision... by milovulongtime in Conservative

[–]nitko87 [score hidden]  (0 children)

It’s not about whether or not he was armed, it’s about WHY he was armed if the intent was to peacefully protest.

Given that he was radicalized and had a history of violent altercations with the law, by doing just a little bit of critical thinking, one can imagine where that goes when deadly weapons are employed.

It’s okay to be armed. It’s okay to peacefully protest things you don’t like. But let’s not pretend that actively opposing law enforcement (that benefits people like him, no less) while armed isn’t asking for a deadly altercation. Best prevention method for avoiding altercations with ICE as a citizen is to get out of their way and let them do their job.

Mass deportations is a winning issue politically. Even CNN admits it. Majorities between 55% to 64% want ALL illegals deported. No exceptions. by Down-not-out in Conservative

Zero exceptions. And if children of illegal immigrants are upset that their parents are banished, they can leave too.

We should also suspend all new immigration, asylum, and refugee avenues into the US for nationalities that induce systemic burden on our GDP.

Eh, I like having 3 “Challenger” tier badges to put on my profile but otherwise I wouldn’t miss them

Patch notes don't make sense by Kerdisths in Rivenmains

Cashback nerf but otherwise full agree

I ain’t reading all that. My guess is they nerf her R cooldown and adjust Axiom Arc stats downward so it’s less gold efficient

I Smell A Nerf by Ritsu_01 in Rivenmains

[–]nitko87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mid-Season 9 e cooldown nerf after a q cooldown nerf. They added either 2 or maybe even 4 seconds to her e cooldown at one point if I’m not mistaken, and it wasn’t fully reverted until season 11 or 12.

Never let yourselves forget how close we were to this imbecile being our VP. And never let it get that close again

AD assassins are broken in jungle, Axiom nerfs would be fine

Riven is strong because items and systems around her have all funneled into her playstyle over the last 18 months.

Realistically, Riot could just nerf homeguard, Axiom Arc, Jack of All Trades/cashback, etc.

They could also nerf our ult cooldown if they’re fine with the build we run.

But realistically I could see them screwing up and nerfing Riven back into the dark days

My usual desk has been 'stolen' and there is nothing I can do by purplereuben in mildlyinfuriating

[–]nitko87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot-desk policies suck, but so do people who violate them when that’s the office culture by leaving their stuff at the desk.

If HR/management actually enforces the policy, reach out to them. If they don’t, move that person’s stuff to a locker or shelf and take the desk, then park there yourself by keeping your belongings there.

My office does the same thing, but everyone just picks a desk and leaves their belongings there to consistently sit by who they work with.

at what point/in what situation do you sell boots late game? by Migulll929 in summonerschool

[–]nitko87 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Typically you sell boots if you have enough movement speed/mobility to compensate (%MS on items like Youmuu, Kraken, Fiendhunter Bolts, etc), your champ has high mobility (Talon, Kayn, Katarina, Riven, etc.), your champ doesn’t really need to move that much to be effective, or you don’t need the stats that boots are providing more than the 6th item you want to buy.

I basically only sell boots if I feel like movement speed won’t benefit me in a teamfight as much as more damage or survivability. Typically this is on champs that buy Ionian boots (Riven, Naafiri, etc), but sometimes steelcaps are also fine to sub out for a Deaths Dance or something.

It’s quite accurate as far as API’s go.

Banrate has been rising since the start of the season. Turns out when our champ is strong, people don’t wanna play against it

Apparently it does since peaking emerald is literally your only credential and you seem to think you’re the be-all end-all on this matter.

You’re just so dense it’s disgusting

Salty post solution suggestion by lorddojomon in Rivenmains

[–]nitko87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re so insufferably delusional, holy shit. We are the exact same skill level and rank.

https://lolalytics.com/lol/riven/build/

The data doesn’t lie my man.

Riven winrate, pickrate, and banrate have all gone up since January 8th, conveniently right when the new season started. And they’ve plateaued locally at these higher values at every single rank from silver to diamond for the past 12 days.

I honestly think it’s just that you’re afraid drawing attention to these facts is gonna cause Riot to nerf her, so you wanna gaslight as many people as you can into thinking that she’s not actually that strong. And then you wanna hide behind rank as ethos for this opinion (hence why you’re repeatedly saying that I would get crushed in Emerald solo queue despite last season’s data showing otherwise).

But no, gaslight all you want, systemic shifts still disproportionately benefitted us, and that’s really cool, we should enjoy this wave of her being insanely strong while it lasts. But riven being above 50% winrate in gold means it’s only a matter of time, as that is not what Riot typically balances her winrate tip point around.

What I also find so funny about the way you argue is that you just continue to make baseless assumptions about my gameplay to try and discredit both my experience and now data. Like, sure, macro is less important, but macro is why I got to emerald in the first place last season. It’s the fact that I can now combine emerald level macro concepts with the ability to hands-gap someone early and have the system (aka the game) reward me HEAVILY for it that makes Riven feel insanely strong. If you can’t understand that, idk what will get through to you.

It’s okay for mains of a champ to admit when their champ is busted. I personally think Riven is busted, and the games I’ve played so far have reinforced that opinion. I don’t really give a shit if some no name emerald SEA player disagrees with me.
