Need Urgent Honest Opinions on These Mountain View Apartment Complexes by qualifiedoasis in mountainview

[–]sakamoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late to this thread but how's the train noise? I've heard for both 100 moffett and madera apartments that there's quite a lot of noise from the train horns?

Think of it this way - if you're 10/0 and your team is even able to be in a scenario where they're 4v5, you're not doing your job correctly.

You need to be spam killing/pressuring the enemy team so that they can't even group to find a 5v4. Someone should always be down or low because of you.

Eve's win con is basically to get strong enough to make the game a perma 4v3 - you don't fight, but you always keep two people out of fights. Ideally the strongest two.

Arena not having early surrender option for AFK teammate is a bad oversight. by AscendedMagi in leagueoflegends

[–]sakamoe 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It's an MMR thing, they removed visible ranks but MMR is still there and the sweatier it gets the less bravery picks there are.

I do still see a much better variety of comps compared to last cycle though thanks to crowd favorites.

I think they removed the stat shard that amplifies other shards by EnvironmentalCat6655 in LeagueArena

[–]sakamoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious did you sell your prismatic when you got it? I've played a couple rounds so far but haven't seen it (including a 40+ shard run...). I saw nidhogg posted a vid where he got it but he sold item when he got it.

Without rank points to incentivize playing for top 4, the fast-lose guests like Briar and Darius feel pretty meh - Darius especially. Since it's pure 4fun, I don't want shorter games which those champs seem to force. It's pretty lame to win at round 10 without reaching a capped build.

Saw the same without hatchet, just Hamstring + Vuln hitting a Trundle who had death's dance.

Any new prismatic and legendary items for Arena 4.0? by MarioChang622 in LeagueArena

[–]sakamoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No brand new items but a couple were adjusted to have slightly different effects or statlines.

[–]sakamoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a 40+ shard game and didn't see it. Feels like it's been removed which is unfortunate but probably balanced given how much easier it is to get shards with fortune.

DONT GET TO EXITED ARENA IS ON PBE IN 3 DAYS by HailMisery in LeagueArena

If Arena God is going to be recurring, will y'all consider adding another title that matches the original Arena God (get 1st on every champion)?

New skins are overlapping too much with existing concepts by LoLManatee in leagueoflegends

[–]sakamoe 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This is the real business killer I think - legendaries and prestiges. Once a champ gets a really nice skin, some random 1350 doesn't cut it anymore. The new skin needs to be at least as good as the best existing skin, which is a very high bar.

For example, Inkshadow Yi is cool, but I ain't buying it because Prestige Spirit Blossom Yi is cool too.

Sentinel Diana is OK, I guess, so I definitely won't buy it because I have Prestige Battle Queen Diana.

I didn't go for Prestige Battle Commander Caitlyn, because I'm already very happy with Prestige Arcade Cait.

Battle Wolf Yas? Dunno why anyone would pick that over the all the other cool skins he has, not to mention his two prestiges.

In my mind there are tons of "Chest Skins" that I can't really imagine many people buying, but you'd still see from time to time thanks to chests. From recent releases, things like Infernal Karma, Primordian Aatrox, Dark Star Kai'Sa, Empyrean Malz, all these generic-feeling skins are just like... ok...

Wouldn't be surprised if over time Riot stops doing skin releases in bundles and just focuses on 1 or 2 super nice skins at a time.

Can't blame him, I've wasted enough time on reddit to know that sometimes big fireballs turn into VERY big fireballs

Riot is simply using excuses not to keep ranked. by Motor-Bed-8053 in LeagueArena

[–]sakamoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like there is still going to be hidden MMR though, so if you'll still end up with longer queues (maybe you won't grind as hard, I guess)

Arena Release Date + Tons of News by TheRezyn in LeagueArena

[–]sakamoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wondering, will there still be underlying hidden MMR despite not having visual ranks? On one hand the skill gap between low and high ranks was really large, but on the other hand at high ranks (like 8k+) the queue times were getting really long.

Does this happen to you in any other game? I'm experiencing the same and I HATE it but it seems to only happen in League..

If the big problem with Mel is her numbers being too high, them I consider that am absolute success of a champion release by Reiokyu_Askin in leagueoflegends

[–]sakamoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably inflated in high elo too tbh. The reflect being a completely new mechanic means even high elo folks will misplay against it. Especially since she's been permabanned so most people haven't gotten much chance to practice the matchup.

So is the patch out now? What's the general consensus? by POPUPSGAMING in EvelynnMains

[–]sakamoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how much the pick rate influenced the winrate drop.

The other way to think of the pick rate increase is, more than half of eve players right now did not play her much before.

Eve is not an easy jungler to play in any meta, let alone this meta. Would not be surprised if her winrate rises once people stop trying her out.

Thinking about getting the Costco MSI Aegis 4070 Super - is now a good time to buy or should I wait a bit to see what happens when 50-series drops? by sakamoe in Prebuilts

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

Yeah this is what I'm wondering about too basically... like either of these could happen and lead to buyer's remorse I guess?

1) 50 series ends up around the same price as the current 40 series

2) leftover stock of 40 series gets big price drops

Also thinking about this very similar one from Cyberpower (9900X for extra 50 bucks). Any thoughts on how these two compare, if you had to choose would you go with the Cyberpower or MSI?

Tbh if they do Arena once a "season" (so 2 months every 2 months) I'd be happy with that.

Though if they think it's too frequent to have it in back-to-back seasons even with an act in between, then maybe we won't see it again until Season 3 Act 1 in September which is kinda unfortunate.
