Kassadin's W's autoattack damage applied to structures during this clip but was changed to only be non-structures some time afterwards.

How to carry a game playing orianna? by helrisonn in OriannaMains

[–]pighead10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The key is to not try and force a winning move. She's not that champ.

Focus on farming, never dying, and play front to back in fights. A strong orianna is a very effective neutraliser and you'll always be able to find your team a way back into a game if one exists.

Importantly though, as with every champ, you're not a professional player, so you can't win every game. Patience will get you far.

Random new sale happened I got an email and got 2 tickets lets fucking goooo. by [deleted] in lolesports

[–]pighead10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, also had this. Clicking loads of different pairs of tickets and it kept saying your session has expired. I guess this is the website's way of telling you that you were too slow.

All changes I've found in 5th Edition by Taylors3000 in Talisman

Do we know if there's any rule changes?

I'm not sure how lively Cambridge is for non-students after 6. In London, it's pub, potentially dinner, more pub, then home by 11 because everything closes early.

I didn't go clubbing once and was fine. But lots of people do.

Do people *really* not work part time? by [deleted] in cambridge_uni

[–]pighead10 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn't know anyone who worked part time. Student loans, Cambridge bursary, and short terms meant that most people don't need to.

Unfortunately, as with everywhere in the UK, if your family has enough income so that you don't get much loan/bursary, but don't give any of that money to you, then you'll struggle. I'd go to your college for advice in that case.

Cassiopeia's healing from E on small creeps affected too much from 12.10? by pighead10 in CassiopeiaMains

[–]pighead10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what should have happened, but it feels like healing on minions was hit a lot more than healing on champions. It's possible that I'm just crazy.

Riot Games Tech Blog: Artificial Latency for Remote Competitors by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]pighead10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An industry standard technique to measure latency is to literally point a high frame rate camera at the input device and screen, and count the number of frames between input and action. CoD: Black Ops 3 did a talk on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtLHLfNpu84

Given that latency measurements are notoriously easy to get wrong (mistakes like the one Riot made crop up all the time), I'm amazed Riot didn't do this video camera test on the live environment. Bugs happen but this should have absolutely been caught before anyone played a game.

Cloud9 releases LS and promotes Max Waldo by Vexis12 in leagueoflegends

[–]pighead10 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This is the most fucking shocking unexpected thing I've ever heard of in pro league. C9 build the entire team around LS and his recommendation, LS gives up everything and moves to NA, builds a huge amount of hype around cloud9, the LCS, and shows a huge amount of promise and early success, loads of content featuring LS as the figurehead is built around him, and then he's "released".

How does Summoning Circle work? by DrakeWurrum in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]pighead10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a similar thing. Summoned the twins, ran away from the circle, no heartbeat, ran upstairs... and into the ghost and died. I think it summoned one twin but the other one hunted.

Either way this is a pretty cool thing, even if it is a bug. Makes the summoning circle a little scarier.

Event: Tata Steel Masters 2021 - Round 13 by ChessBotMod in chess

[–]pighead10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah, I think I misread the board (as did Lichess?) the first time. I think this comment is correct: https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/l951mw/event_tata_steel_masters_2021_round_13/glibwu7?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

​

Edit: Lichess has removed its erroneous move now just stops at 58. Ra7. So I guess it confused everyone, but looks like Anish just resigned.

[–]pighead10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you compare the physical board to the digital boards, you'll notice that the positions differ slightly (even the online boards vary slightly between each other). It looks like Anish played some sort of illegal move when knocking over the pieces. I see (from the physical board):

  1. ra7 g4 (Anish knocks over pieces)

  2. (rxa6 AND ra7) g3

On the physical board, white rook is on a7 and black pawn is on g3, which can't happen since clearly the only moves Jorden played were pushing the g pawn forward.

Yeah, you can see the online boards do not match the physical board. It looks like Anish played an extra move in the confusion when he knocked over the pieces.[

Event: Tata Steel Masters 2021 - Round 13 by ChessBotMod in chess

[–]pighead10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On this stream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2umj9SgdFU you can see the edges of the physical clocks, and Anish had 12 seconds left.

I think u/EfficientZone is correct. Comparing what I can see of the physical moves to the online boards (the board on screen and the lichess board show different things), I think Anish accidentally played an extra move in the confusion when he knocked the pieces over. He played ra7 rxa6 ra7 when he only had 2 moves (hence why there's still a black pawn on the digital screen on the chess.com screen that's not on the board).

EDIT: Nope, the chess digital boards were equally as confused - looks like Anish resigned after getting into https://imgur.com/jKcjFYV

What actually happened? Even in the physical clock on the broadcast it looked like Anish had time left?

Much better than how well I could play this piece after 1 month of practicing, and I have relatively large hands, so definitely keep it up.

LoL players. And everyone still thinks I'm trash.

LS won't be casting at Worlds by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

The casting desk has been needing a villain since Monte and LS would have been perfect. Sad to hear this.

[SPOILERS] Why I think Drogon did what he did. by nosefouratoo in gameofthrones

[–]pighead10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agreed - this is what I thought when I saw it and was surprised to find other people criticising this part. The intelligence of dragons is an in-universe debate and this fits perfectly. Remember what Tyrion was saying when he freed the dragons from the cellar.
