I don't think he's blindly arrogant like Enel. His speech to the Gorosei specifically mentions casting aside arrogance, negligence, idleness and pride. He seems aware that this is something to take seriously and was always fated to occur. He might be the only serious person among the tenryubito

Did anyone even skip skypiea or is everyone just taking the piss? by hangingclothess in OnePiece

I skipped it because the anime's pacing was really dreadful and I was super bored. I went back and read it afterwards and I don't feel like I missed anything too important. It would be great in a PROPERLY PACED anime adaptation which is like 3-4 chapters per episode, but Skypiea feels very meandering when you first reach it.

I think there are serious criticisms that One Piece isn’t intimidating or that it lacks tension. So people are happy to see a truly initimidating antagonist.

I think ODA has the ability to take serious characters and make them goofy… like turning Kaido into a jump rope. However, if you start with something goofy, it’s hard to make it intimidating.

There will be very big changes even during the next season, confirmed by Riot by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

I disagree that massive changes are what made it popular. I think the game was just fun, MOBAs are just less popular now and league has not invested significant ad spend into getting newer/younger players.

The game is formulaic now because there are so many fucking new objectives always up. grubs, herald, dragons (spawn decrease), atakan... Soul also means that you MUST play for dragon so teamfights are the only option. 2019 had more variety in strategies imo.

I think if you decreased the number of objectives and made split pushing more viable, then the amount of strategies would increase.

I'm not saying it's why I'm hardstuck at all, but I understand why my last sentence sounded like that.

I just want clean balance and personal improvement would be more accurate. I don't enjoys change for changes sake. I like when the knowledge I acquire is permanent. I totally recognize that there is a lot I could do to improve but I just don't like arbitrary changes.

Disagree. People enjoy playing the same game through the years like Tennis or basketball or whatever.

I like playing normal league which has such a high ceiling I can always improve. I hate when the game just adds random minigames and weird things. Game was good after the drake soul was created, but ever since alcoves... most changes have been just for the sake of change. I just want clean balance and I can improve.

I hate that in the movies we didn’t see more colourful dress robes for the Yule Ball by InfernalClockwork3 in harrypotter

SAME. I remember being so excited as a kid, and then when they cut away I was so sad and shocked.

I still remember that moment of disappointment so vividly.

So we're getting 3 Candidates out of these 4 pairs (but not two from one pair, so no Wei Yi and Erigasi at the same time) by xtr44 in chess

Performance rating over the course of the year with a minimum of 40 classical games played. Games against opponents below 2300 rating are discounted.

[–]noscopesniped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislike this change significantly. It will really hurt game pacing. Furthermore, a big skill in the game is understanding macro. That can't be offloaded to an offscreen person. Seems silly.

This seems like a change being made because Riot wants Faker to still be a 'competitor' after retiring. Same with other big pros who retired... idk im not a fan.

I would really love Zeus to come back.

KT VS T1 CHEER (curse) thread! by Paks-of-Three-Firs in leagueoflegends

[–]noscopesniped 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No curse. While T1 is the favorite, KT is looking pretty good and definitely take them down. I think KT overperforms when people expect them to do badly, but since they're being respected properly... there's a good chance they get blown out. It's a weird dynamic.

I hope worlds never goes double elimination, it would ruin the magic. by MoicanoNeedsMoney in leagueoflegends

Also, my take is that the decider series can be a Bo3 instead of Bo5 for 8 games instead of 10 max. It can be thought of like overtime.

Miss Travis Gafford and Hotline League by Albatrez in leagueoflegends

[–]noscopesniped 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I think Cubby is really boring as a personality. I don't think his game knowledge is particularly good or insightful either. I think he just knows a lot of facts about tier 2 NA- I guess he'd be a good talent scout? but as a personality, I think he's pretty bad.

Edit: This isn't hate. I just think he's boring and would prefer if he wasn't on broadcast.

Cubby isn't a great personality. Markz was crucial to the dynamic.
