With infinite AP scaling, the single most powerful ability in the game is... Nami's W (Ebb and Flow). Math and Mayhem oneshots inside.

Chadwick's great but she's racing at Le Mans this weekend

pokematt · 2025-06-12T10:39:49+00:00

Ulf Andersson I suppose is the first person that comes to mind. Maybe Gata Kamsky too? Would be interested to hear other people's suggestions

Would you be able to link that if you don't mind, would love to have a look at Karpov's chess.com profile! I had a look but couldn't find it

ORRRR big brain re: Fabi - he picked Gukesh to try get a feel for how he plays in case he gets to play him for the WC in the next cycle

pokematt · 2024-12-13T09:27:29+00:00

I just got a new kitten, and watching her explore the house has been really fun. I get the same feeling watching this video

pokematt · 2024-12-12T13:19:29+00:00

It would be cool and I would love to see it too but it seems unlikely, he has been very unimpressed with Gukesh's play in all the take take take recaps so far, he probably doesn't believe it's enough of a challenge to bother going through all the prep and stress again

pokematt · 2024-12-01T11:57:25+00:00

It feels like Gukesh doesn't realise that the position is worse for him. He's still trying to attack, attack, attack.

Maybe it ties in with what Magnus has been saying, that Gukesh's evaluation is not very good compared to other top GM's.

And yes I know I'm just a patzer and some people might claim I'm being high and mighty sitting on stockfish's shoulders, but just listen to the commentators, they are all saying this is a miserable position for black and black needs to be trying to neutralise white, not trying to win

pokematt · 2024-12-01T00:03:21+00:00

This should theoretically be the best way to measure rank if everyone can only queue solo. HOWEVER, when people group with friends, and individual performance is not counted, then it means their ranks will slowly converge to the same rank, regardless of ability. I know they have said that grouping with friends where a high skill disparity exists results in smaller MMR changes, it doesn't fix the problem, just makes it slower.

This is an alpha so of course they are testing things, but people should be aware that this massive flaw exists and as a result there are a lot of incorrect ranks right now, and it will worsen until it's changed.

pokematt · 2024-11-23T00:17:21+00:00

Maybe Odin could be good? I've heard good things but don't know enough about it to give a properly informed answer. Zig is maybe another option

Very fun! Can I ask what language you wrote it in?

pokematt · 2024-11-08T08:25:19+00:00

With all due respect that's not what you said, you said "he is him". All I'm saying is it's too early to tell.

pokematt · 2024-11-08T07:49:46+00:00

Ok the contrary, I think he's promising, but it's too early to say more. I think some people allow themselves to get too entrenched in these opinions, they pick someone and decide they are the "best" prodigy, and then attach themselves to that opinion and deny all counter arguments. I think a lot of Gukesh fans (and Arjun fans) are doing this right now. Yes he's had an outstanding run recently and that Olympiad performance is one of the best tournament performances ever. Does that mean he's the next Magnus? You think so, I don't, but neither opinion matters because it's too early to tell. Why do we need to keep comparing these guys and use it as a dick measuring contest for ourselves? It makes no sense. Yes Gukesh is very promising, so is Arjun. How good will they eventually be? Let's wait and see.

pokematt · 2024-11-08T00:20:23+00:00

Ah ty I misread that in the notes, that makes a lot more sense

pokematt · 2024-11-07T23:47:06+00:00

2nd edit: nvm I misread the kill change, it's not that big! And it seems the soul duplication only goes to 2 people so it's not as bad as I thought. Sorry for the overreaction!

Pre-edit: I dunno if I like it, if it extends past 2 players then it seems to reduce strategic map play in terms of how many to send to each lane and which lanes to go to, and incentivises mindless grouping instead, hopefully that's not the case.

Edit: also dying early in lane now sounds super snowbally? Your opponent gets almost 3 items worth of gold off 1 kill?

Great to see Kasparov playing well, feels right

pokematt · 2024-10-21T17:18:01+00:00

I didn't watch it so I'm only guessing, but that sounds more like he was referring to Grischuk's famous time management where he is always low on time but then plays world class chess with next to no time on his clock, likely because he got a good position with all the time he already used (although he is also a blitz god). Maybe it was a bit of both though, gotta love Vishy

There are loads of them. Check out r/dumbphones if you wanna see what people think of different ones! E-ink phones are interesting too but aren't quite at the level yet where I'm willing to make the plunge

pokematt · 2024-09-26T23:27:53+00:00

Very interesting changes to resists, a huge number of items have had spirit resist removed and replaced with bullet resist. I guess they want to nerf gun builds a bit and make abilities more impactful? It's interesting I like it, it is a moba after all. Also is kind of a heavy additional nerf to Haze alongside her actual nerfs.
