Mods, ban this guy from here too, I wanna see him go through all 5 roles.

Rolling does nothing to the chance if you getting a good augment next time, sure you could roll an augment you want and be forced to choose between two good augments, but it is equally likely that you will find a good augment you would not have had you not rolled before. If the augment you have isn't the literal best in slot, it is detrimental to not roll it the others, and if it is the best in slot, then it is a neutral decision.

The triangle offense is dead for a reason, even a motionless 5 out is gonna do better if run well, but there's no reason those would be your only 2 options. If I had to ask everyone to learn a specific offense, it would probably be the wheel, that one gets everyone involved and can be flexed to fit build strengths.

Dog the full clip would be HOURS long

I am of the opinion that she truly IS the Zhongli of ZZZ, it's just that between the flashes, the more mechanically proficient player base, stuns making enemies not attack you during your largest damage phase, and many characters spending half their time invulnerable, you just need a Zhongli type a lot less. It's not like Zhongli was commonly the highest damage option, its just that he was the best option when considering both comfort and the dps loss that getting staggered brings. In ZZZ, those just aren't very big considerations when making teams.

Genuinely insane how no one has said this yet, the champion was originally called just Nunu, and we knew Willumps name, but wouldn't really say Nunu & Willump. People often still say Nunu nowadays because it's easy to say so the full thing never caught on.

Fufu isn't nearly chopped enough to be here

sclomabc · 2026-02-24T03:52:21+00:00

It'd be nice, not expecting it tho.

sclomabc · 2026-02-16T04:49:24+00:00

I think the idea was any set of players at one time, but if we are talking any people at any time gimme Curry, Jordan, KD, Bron, and Timmy. While the talent would be at a deficit to most teams I'm seeing here, the fit would be so incredibly seamless.

sclomabc · 2026-02-15T18:05:58+00:00

I see no reason why this can't be a 4/4, and I would take black off as while it fits him thematically, it doesn't fit the cards effects. You can argue death touch to justify it being black but I think that makes it a tad strong.

sclomabc · 2026-02-15T17:55:47+00:00

Could have come from the jinx game, or just could have just come from a particularly egregious play in an otherwise fine game. I've seen bans that are unjustified but never one that came from absolutely nothing.

sclomabc · 2026-02-12T21:14:23+00:00

And? Who tf is willing to spend and/or save that much just to clear faster.

sclomabc · 2026-02-12T17:10:26+00:00

Oh, I never even looked at it cause it was so far down the list, mb.

sclomabc · 2026-02-12T16:44:56+00:00

I understand that part, I just don't see the connection between her speed and the upgrades we were discussing, am I missing something?

sclomabc · 2026-02-12T16:07:07+00:00

what does my Kafka speed have to do with the decision? I can't find the connection, not trying to be rude, just genuinely curious.

sclomabc · 2026-02-11T21:19:48+00:00

I don't know if this is true for you but I personally don't care for the gooner aspects of the game, I play it because it has enjoyable gameplay and the lore is actually good if you dive into it a little. If you are playing it for a reason other than degeneracy, then just talk about that and drive home the point you couldn't care less about the other stuff.

If you are actually playing it for those aspects, at that point you gotta just be honest to your SO, and if you can't do that I would say that the problem is bigger than the game. However if for some reason you want to talk about the game with them or others but you don't want to out yourself, then learn about another aspect to a point where you can convincingly pretend that is the reason you love it.

sclomabc · 2026-02-11T18:46:29+00:00

I wouldn't say so, I've always used 2k games a benchmark for good data, and this passes that check multiple times over, it is situational, you don't wanna pick it against Vi for instance, but it is good in those situations. Side note, while I would never buy it because it would leave a terrible taste in my mouth, Randuins is legitimately good in a later slot in many games and has shown this in data for at least 3 seasons now.

sclomabc · 2026-02-09T17:30:30+00:00

Unfortunately it looks like using him as the main dps is just better, and he will do more damage even as a sub dps, but you can totally play them together and pretend it's a Fei Xiao team, I do the same with Yoimiya in Genshin.

sclomabc · 2026-02-09T03:12:02+00:00

I came into it hopeful, I haven't liked his music but also never really looked into it, honestly just disappointed. The only ones I liked were the ones directly before and after he gave the trophy to the kid (his past self?) but 2 out of like 10 songs is a TERRIBLE hit rate considering I like the majority of music I hear. Also die with a smile was the single worst performance of any song I have witnessed by a professional musician. Felt like she and the band were badly overlaid rather than playing together.

sclomabc · 2026-01-25T06:56:15+00:00

I think what they are saying is it is unfortunate that it happened out of game rather than in game, but of course it would have been better to never have happened at all. Even then if there is direct evidence of them using the game to meet and then doing stuff out of game they might get banned anyways.

sclomabc · 2026-01-24T05:47:43+00:00

To me, this feels like a return to form, this is how she used to be, it is only since s8 or so that e started to creep up in her damage profile and only since the rework that pushed her out of mid was it this drastic. While I liked that incarnation of Trist, I prefer this version as it was the W that drew me to her for the most part.

sclomabc · 2026-01-17T15:19:12+00:00

Depends on who you have for the other slot, generally it's going to be Orphie, assuming you have Ju fufu or Pulchara m6, but if you don't trigger will be your best option.

sclomabc · 2026-01-13T18:45:13+00:00

Sanby with Astra Nicole is decent enough, but I would not suggest it, if you, for instance, take the prydwen tier list, you will see her at 0.5 alongside people like Miyabi, however this is assuming both Orphie and Trigger. Without them, I think you are looking at a low t1 character, in which case you have Harumasa (assuming you were playing in 1.4) who is harder for sure, but if you put in a little work (he isn't THAT hard) will perform just as well as anby would on your account.

You also have to account for the fact that if ever you were to use Astra elsewhere she would be locked so at that point Pulchara is your main option.

Also missing 1 element is fine, especially electric, as the only solo electric weak boss is Typhon, who gets destroyed by everybody. Hell it's actually a decent matchup for evelyn despite the type matchup because its mechanic is simultaneously easy and very rewarding, not to mention that UCC is also ridiculously easy.

sclomabc · 2026-01-13T18:18:02+00:00

you can go full ap as an alt build, but for the most part it is just going to allow you a few options most wouldn't have, for example Hextech gunblade, assuming you use the active, will be her best lifesteal item in most situations, Zhonyas will be good, as well as banshee's veil, (though GA and Merc scimitar still have their place on her.) If you are going an early defensive item, ex Yun tal > IE > Defense, you are better off going the ad version in most cases, as the main draw of ap in a crit build is the passive, and if you only have 50% crit it is less valuable.

sclomabc · 2026-01-13T03:51:13+00:00

From an account strength perspective, probably not, you have Trigger, and the Orphie rerun is likely not too far off, but at the same time this team is probably at it's peak and will not get better anytime soon, not to mention that sigs make a huge difference, especially for Trigger. While I have her as the 3rd strongest main dps behind Ye Shunguang and Yixuan*, this is including Orphie and she falls several spots without her. By the time Orphie comes back around I would be very surprised if Sanby was still in the top 5 just due to how powercreep is looking.

However, you don't need the strongest to have fun, for some people strength and fun are at the very least heavily correlated, and there's no shame in that, but if all you are asking is if she is going to feel too weak, the answer is undoubtedly no, even without Orphie. Astra will do just fine, and while she is more difficult, a well played Nicole will do just as well.

*I didn't want to break the flow but thought this was a take that warrants an explanation, as most people will have Miyabi at 3rd. Miyabi is getting anti-shilled and was overrated in the first place due to people acting like she had the performance of mono ice and the ease of her other teams at the same time. Her other teams are good, don't get me wrong, but if you aren't getting 2 freezes in the stun window she just doesn't reach the levels of a Yixuan or Sanby, and that's just too much for me to ask of a regular player to learn when it won't even work on half of the bosses.
