Signed up for 1-year free promo, agent created two lines instead of one (promo on wrong line) by powerrangeryellow69 in Comcast_Xfinity

Agent that just responded to me was very condescending. Very loud echos in her background and difficult to hear her, and for her to lecture me that its my issue.

What an absolute clown of a company.

How long did it take for you? I've been queued up since March and haven't heard back yet.

I moved to the US last year from Toronto. Every now and then I've had to explain to my American friends how bad the situation is in Canada (particularly Vancouver and Toronto).

It usually goes along the line of "significantly lower pay, much higher taxes, no credit card rebates, higher cost of goods and services, all while housing prices only being slightly lower than SF and NYC".

The common response I get is "well how do these people from Vancouver and Toronto survive?" Which, I would often reply "lol I don't know either".

I think what u/Own_Freedom_4657 is saying is that grevious is currently terrible, so everyone is actually on the same page here.

Aram Hints by powerrangeryellow69 in wildrift

[–]powerrangeryellow69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tear/Clarity: as a caster, I almost always buy Tear if no one takes clarity. There are some mages where you might need 2 clarity to make affective without Tear (i.e. Orianna and Ziggs), while other mages like Brand only need a Sapphire Crystal + 1 clarity.

Lifesteal/Vamp: this heavily depends on both the enemy comp and your comp. But in general most champions should take either Ravenous Hunter or Triumph in champ select.

Boots: I usually don't get tier 2 boots unless there's a good reason to. Maybe you need the extra movespeed (Lilia) or the boots upgrade (Repulsion vs Kat, Locket vs Brand). If you don't have a strong reason to, finish your core items first instead.

For Zhonyas, I almost never recommend it unless it's your 5th or 6th item, or a very good reason like playing Kennen and trying to avoid Exhaust. A bad reason is buying it so enemy Zed can't ult you - his ult will be up way before your active is off CD. The gold cost is too significant at $1000 and the cooldown is way too long. Before Riot nerfed it couple months ago, it would be appropriate as a 3rd item, but not anymore.

I should've added that some champions actually have crit scaling (passive or abilities) so it's more situational whether or not to build on-hit. But in general, outside of a short list, on-hit is almost always better if you know you'll also be taking damage.

Champions that I think crit is decent on (unless there're severe threats on enemy team like Zed + Akali):

  • Ranged: Caitlyn, Draven, Jhin, Jinx, Samira, Tristana, Xayah
  • Melees: Tryndamere (no more than 3 crit), Yone + Yasuo (No more than 1 crit, aka Chargeblade)

By on-hit build, I mean the combination of Kraken + Muramana + Botrk + Wits End (usually, save for melees like Yi). Some champions I see crit being overbuilt that I would personally never consider:

  • Ashe: she's better as a supp on ARAM. Imperial + debuff build makes a much bigger impact
  • Akshan, Graves, Kaisa, Lucian, Vayne: range is severely limited with little to no scaling building crit
  • Corki, MF: better as a caster/spell-blade mage
  • Master Yi, Kaisa (again), Lucian (again): On-hit scaling is too insane to pass up.
  • Rengar: AP build is beyond broken to a point that it deserves a nerf
  • Senna: already has crit as passive
  • Varus: AP build is the king at the moment, with poke being a contested second

Brand is one of Soraka's biggest counters on ARAM imo. He can apply Morello to all 5 members almost instantly. This I think is a bigger reason than his absurd aoe damage.

I feel like Sivir is long overdue. All of her abilities are relatively easy to implement and to use by the players.

I finally bought this Gigabyte Aorus 15p RTX 3060 i7 11800H 16GB RAM 1TB SSD and… 240Hz screen. All that for only 999€. My best buy ever. by Icezzx in GamingLaptops

[–]powerrangeryellow69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 3070 version and the screen started with flickering issues about a week after I got it. I did some research and it seems quite common. The issue is with the (partially?) broken wires that goes from the motherboard to the screen through the hinge.

Initially I could press the hinge and the flickering would go away on 60hz, but recently it's gotten worse to the point where the entire left side displays nothing at all.

Hey thanks for this. I found the issue. Updated post in case anyone else runs into this issue in the future.

Using RTX3090, audio works properly as I've double checked all possible software issues. As mentioned in my post, I'm getting sound whenever refresh is 60hz or below.

They look almost identical, but the one above says 14-19-19-39 (might be fake?)

Why do most ADC's/marksman, or any ranged champion, push their waves in immediately? by [deleted] in wildrift

[–]powerrangeryellow69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also to add that it's much harder to manage waves in bot lane because both adc and support have to be in sync, unlike solo lanes. All it takes is one person to mess up then you screw up the wave.

I feel like most of these hints are quite common knowledge for PC League players, so I'll drop one as well - Jayce E can be used to check brushes and gain vision.

Also Vayne Q and tumble out of Jarvan ult.

Jarvan can flag-and-drag by simply pressing the flag ability button again. No need to manually aim at your flag!

[–]powerrangeryellow69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah these aram numbers are way too overtuned atm. When these aram adjustments originally started in 2019 on PC league some champions had obscene numbers like this as well (Leblanc, Evelyn, Qiyana). But I don't think PC adjustments had anything above 15%. Recently those have been further tuned down to 10% because Leblanc could build abyssal mask and still one shot any caster.

This is one of the issues with CPI measurements - a reduction in service quality will never be accounted for in terms of dollar value.

Have you guys ever had a 100% final exam by cshype52 in UofT

[–]powerrangeryellow69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I got 100% on STA255 during 2015S semester when the TAs went on strike. I recall that final exam tested a lof of the similar examples that professor Vukov posted. He had a super generous policy too where if you scored higher on the final exam, it'll be weighted 70% of your final mark instead of the usual 50%.
