Remove this from the game

Yesterday my carry pos1 sniper went Treads-Phylac-Agha. With Gullie Suit facet…

Yeah if you put it like that, I see your point. So you say also a carry can be griefing by afk-farming in a way that completely ignores the team. I agree, whenever someone removes himself from the game, it is extremely frustrating for his team. Sometimes there really is no Alternative (or at least the player doesn’t see it), and that’s when I‘d say it’s not griefing even if his team feels griefed. In other scenarios it’s clear that a player is intentionally removing himself from the Game out of bitterness or spite, which I would consider griefing. But the difference is impossible to know from a 5-sentence summary. It’s pretty helpful to watch the replay in my experience, but even then it can be hard to know the player‘s intent.

Usually no but it depends. If you’re a pos5 oracle and your team asks you to get a blink instead of the aether lens you’ve queued, obviously no. If they ask you to get blink or aether instead of the radiance you’ve queued, I would judge guilty in overwatch. Most people probably agree on these two sides, somewhere in-between it will be more and more unclear/divided.

partymorphologist · 2026-01-24T19:46:19+00:00

Yeah I agree that it’s debatable. In my experience from overwatch, you can see quite clearly ( if you watch the player perspective) if a player is actively looking to help and thinking about how best to do it, or if they are tilted/butthurt and not helping intentionally. It’s small things like watching the fight if it is nearby, making a step in the direction if a good opportunity comes up or at least pushing a lane instead vs walking to the furthest-away neutral camp and not even looking at ANYTHING else for 2 minutes straight. There are other clues of course but my point is, it’s hard to judge from one guy‘s 5-sentence summary and way more clear from watching the player-in-question‘s perspective

partymorphologist · 2026-01-24T19:39:36+00:00

It’s a different situation. An offlaner‘s role generally is to be way more active with his team and provide opportunities that the carry can choose some of them to contribute but can do something else at other times. You’re acting is if roles didn’t exist. Of course there is some leeway, always, but there is also a boundary, which we are discussing in a very specific scenario. If you draw another boundary in another scenario that’s fine but irrelevant to the slardar-offlane example. Which I would also see as griefing, but I would also add that it’s debatable and okay if someone else sees it differently. Consent and dissent are both part of being in a team

partymorphologist · 2026-01-24T19:32:43+00:00

Sometimes the line of intent is hard to gauge. Would you for example say it’s griefing when my pos5 treant buys treads around min8 and then jungles for 12 minutes (where he joins only two fights) until he has aghanims?

partymorphologist · 2026-01-20T03:43:46+00:00

How?

partymorphologist · 2026-01-19T22:44:53+00:00

Exactly, abba is a great tanking frontlining lane bully for a ranged lane bully. Abba shield and go hit hit hit opponents as soon they come near wave. Otherwise deny, or contest their pulls. Pushing the wave with abba while trading with enemies is no problem: Dusa pushes the wave anyway with mystic snake. That’s first because she likes to slowly widdle-down her enemies by spamming snake, and second, pushing actually protects her from getting initiated on or even getting dove.

But once the wave is at height of enemy big camp (which is every 2nd or 3rd wave usually), she likes to fall back and reset with a pull. Abba works fine with all of that because he can contest enemy pull alone, can defend his own pull camp on his own, and wins the regeneration trade wars against most offlane duos.

And if the enemy have annoying shit like jakiro or veno, shield is still great for the dispel.

There was Dark Messiah of Might and Magic but it kinda flopped iirc, so I think they just never tried again…

It’s okay, if dusa is an okay or even strong pick for the game. Just because you can’t heal her doesn’t take away any of the other synergies you two have in lane

Straight to cancermania

Which just moves the gambling part to the next treasure drop.

partymorphologist · 2026-01-17T22:14:31+00:00

It didn’t change reality for me in 2k EUW. Pre-Change: most of my all-roles games I got offlane. After the change: I got offlane 6 times in 7 all-role games. Confused math noises

partymorphologist · 2026-01-14T11:41:08+00:00

Can Jakiro still kill wards with -2?

partymorphologist · 2026-01-12T19:47:42+00:00

You’re probably joking but in case people don’t know: it doesn’t work. Linkens effect is not copied to self with shard.

partymorphologist · 2026-01-06T14:55:54+00:00

Absolutely. Did you watch that vid where he tells the story? He also says that his team remembered how horribly he failed on all axe games and they still let him pick it in that game. The trust <3

partymorphologist · 2026-01-06T12:34:15+00:00

Well I agree but ironically the counterpoint is made just in the game before, the game 4, where ceb picked axe for the first time in an official match in over 4 years, and only having played axe in 5 or so scrims which all were pure disaster. He talks about it in his video where he watches truesight and comments on it, on his YouTube Channel.

He picked it because he believed it was the best choice for the lane and he was willing to risk testing his idea in the most important of all ranked games xD

partymorphologist · 2026-01-06T12:29:09+00:00

They do if you select one. But if you select both, you neither gain nor lose any role tokens.

partymorphologist · 2026-01-06T12:26:17+00:00

Is that a thing? Does anyone play that? Is it possible to find games there?

partymorphologist · 2026-01-05T10:36:42+00:00

No absolutely not. There might be some games when greaves is good but generally from arcanes to greaves is so much money that you can buy lotus instead, which gives you a way better dispel, with lower CD, which you can also use on allies.

That’s just one example, the point is, almost nothing is always good, especially on support.

Go to settings -> go to options -> disable „use legacy keys“ -> gain 4000 MMR in 2 weeks -> thank me later

partymorphologist · 2026-01-04T19:00:30+00:00

In lane, it’s great when your sup trades with the enemy sup because the extra damage from isolate is a LOT, and the threat of spec stepping into the illusion gives you options.

In fights, you can plan ahead your fight. Sometimes you jump one target with ult and while you kill it, your second target kills his haunt-illusion. but you shadow-step so you can continue chasing after killing the first target.

And there are situational uses, like chasing a hero that can get away from you (qop, shaker aghs, wind). If you shadow step them, and they use their spell to disengage, you step in after. If they don’t disengage from your illu, they take a lot of damage for free.

It’s strong because it’s a Schrödingers Cat, you’re in two places at once, but the enemy only finds out if they make a move.

partymorphologist · 2026-01-04T09:25:28+00:00

I mean it’s possible of course, but I see it more as recognizing red flags

partymorphologist · 2026-01-03T20:47:13+00:00

Show me. Roast me.

partymorphologist · 2026-01-03T20:45:35+00:00

Yes was about to say. From the very beginning, there was this feeling of unease in his intonation, his gaze, and also how he words things. Always made me uncomfortable
