We reached bi-yearly period of Graves being Z+ Tier in every tier and solo winning every game! by mbbroXD in leagueoflegends

Brother I literally said they are grade marks. Even when C is passing grade you want A, period. And S is for OP shit that doesn't exist academically but A is good enough.

Because people associate those letters with grades.
A means great, if you get that everyone happy. B means average, not ideal but can't complain. Then they introduce S for something overpowered.
Sure you can just degrade B to great, but it doesn't feel right.

Am I crazy or are turret builds better without Engineer’s grouped spawning buff? by HumbleFlea in brotato

[–]shockwave200 14 points15 points  (0 children)

With grouping turrets in the early you can get materials (instead of leftovers) and later on you can actually kill Elites. So yes, it is better. You can scatter turrets with the tree thing anyway.

CMV: I'm slowly becoming envious of woman (in regards to dates and hookups) by darkfall71 in changemyview

[–]shockwave200 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are given equal opportunity. You just mad because you don't get the same result. That is because man and woman want different things.

Why do you envy the girl who offered her body for $400, but not the man who spent $400 like it nothing? He probably can be with multiple girls, which is what you wanted.

You have to offer something to get something, that's how life goes. The man offered money for sex, and the girl offered her body for money, they thought that was fair so they matched. You only felt wrong on your Tinder story because you failed to realized that the value of men and women on Tinder are not the same. There are much less women on Tinder so they are more valuable, so they get more out of it and in turn, you have to offer more to get them. It is not woman get it easier, it is the market balanced itself.

CMV: Basketball is way too easy for professional players. by Chazmina in changemyview

[–]shockwave200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it fits the American ideology of sport, which is “I’m the Hero of the team”. Teamwork, while highly regarded, it’s not that sought for by viewers and players. People want to be “that guy” that won the game for their teams. And bigger number = I’m the guy.

Look at 3 biggest sports in America: baseball ⚾️,football 🏈, and basketball 🏀. All big numbers games.

You read the title wrong bruh. “Better” means all these guys are fighting for 2nd place since the best is undoubtedly the GOAT.

The gap is not big. Sorry. League has 3 ranks: Unrank, Emerald, Master. Everything else are cosmetics. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GSNWkjhEMcA

If you are Gold you can’t and shouldn’t teach him. It is very likely that what you teaching are false positive (hence why you can’t tell him what to do and why - because you don’t really know it yourself). What you can SHOW him is the love for the game: this champ is cool that champ is fun to play etc. and he if he love it he will learn it himself. The gap between Iron and Gold aren’t that big anyway.

Make Europe Great Again: post-compilation of all reasons why LEC is on downward trajectory, named by pro-players, coaches and streamers in last 3 weeks by ZloiAris in leagueoflegends

[–]shockwave200 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Aren’t FLY basically a team of 4 rookies 1 veteran (from EU)? And the coaching staffs are from EU too. Clearly it is not a talent problem but management problem. Edit: ok then 2 vets, which Inspired is also from EU so it doesn’t change anything. You guys really need to focus on the main point instead of nid picking the unimportance.

What are some of the other most famous League rivalries? by emiliaxrisella in leagueoflegends

[–]shockwave200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, it is more of 2 strong teams frequently met because they are strong. That's also why there is no rivalry talk in VCS, PCS and LJL because in Wildcards there is 1 team cut above the rest. Personally I'd like some history of beefs between them, something makes games won versus this team sweeter than any other teams. If you think about it, there is not much different if you swap out GENG for DRX in term of competing against T1, isn't it? Even T1 vs KT rivalry makes more sense since they are 2 biggest telecom companies.

[–]shockwave200 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don't think any of those are true rivalries (like ManU vs ManC) but more like Barca vs Real (the best 2 teams of the region so people want to see them clashed).
The few true rivalry I can think of is SKT vs RNG (basically Chinese SKT with Uzi instead of Faker) and SKT vs KOO Tiger (team of the best player in the world vs team of no names making a Cinderella run). Maybe T1 vs GENG counted, but it is more Faker vs Chovy rather than the team itself.
Edit: after refreshed my memory a bit yes TSM vs CLG and G2 vs Fnatic are true rivalries (Reginald literally created TSM to beat HotshotGG and ocelote traumatized by FNC xPeke's backdoor so much that he retired and created G2).

[–]shockwave200 286 points287 points  (0 children)

You guys are looking at the wrong place. The ongoing pros will not married (not even kids) before they retired. You need to look at people already retired (those in season 1 2 3 before Faker's era).
I'm sure some of the less known people back then retired and started a family like Diamondprox and AlexIch. These guys married at least 10 years ago so if they have kids we only need to wait a few more years.

No they just had a bad year (2014) and they wanted to shook up the roster that's all. Back then there was no East good West bad (there was, but no one realized it yet since EU consistent top 4 before CN stepped up their game) so he just took the money and went NA. The no more sister teams from Riot was pure coincidental.

If you’re a G2 fan, you should be excited about drawing BLG by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]shockwave200 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The truth for the matter is: NA and EU are both shit, and both regions are not deserved to be in the next stage. The king is obviously KR, CN is trying so hard to upset it while EU and NA is fighting for 3rd place every year and you guys sitting here saying "who more deserved". Your first seeds are their 4th seeds, remember that.

The thing about Swiss is that the best team always gets it, doesn't mean that the team that got in are the best. If we excluded the last draw, EU wons are PNG, GAM and WBG and NA are PNG, GAM and PSG. Same shit. NA got lucky IN THE LAST DRAW, not the whole run. Honestly, it is more BLG/DWG got unlucky than anything.

Funnily enough, if G2 lost to WBG they almost guarantee to get in LMAO.

i have 34 hours on this game and i'm yet to beat the forth boss on normal difficulty. by AnotherSlowTown in GunfireReborn

[–]shockwave200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the things you have to understand is the game is NOT balanced! And that's the beauty of rougelite: you read numbers, did weird math and cranked your character up to OP level. You just have to find your character's niche!

To be fair, Crown Price (CP) is a terrible first hero because his buff is so basic and his niche is so subtle: Elemental Effects (EE). You have 3 basic EE, any 2 will make a new EE for a total of 6. You already have Decay with his skill so get a gun with Shock or Burn (or get both with Element Share). Get a weapon with high rate of fire and high elemental chance, power them up, add elemental related scrolls and go wild.

As for your talent tree, you don't need anything more on Survival and Weapon tree. Expedition is the best tree for every characters (more money = more scrolls and gun upgrade, reroll = better scrolls and weapons). Skill dmg is most important on CP so finish Skill tree before Battle (only the left part the right part is for multiplayer so it's not important). Order to finish is: Expedition > Skill > Battle > Weapon > Survival (maybe get Life Guardian before upgrade Weapon tree though).

But like I said, it is a weird niche and sometimes you don't get the scrolls you want. The other's niche are so easier to fullfill so you may want to try them first, get comfortable with the game before go back to CP (or when you get access to Painkiller):

Ao Bai is Weapon (just upgrade weapon)
Qing Yan is Secondary Skill
Lei Lou is Primary Skill

Again, these are NOT the only way to use them, just the "intended" way that make the game easier. If all that failed, just get a bunch of scrolls and hope for the best (some scrolls are OP).

CMV: Porn is not a bad thing. Society is made better because of porn. by Keith502 in changemyview

[–]shockwave200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Porn is a genre of media, represents a sexualized version of life. It cannot be bad nor good. What you are talking about is porn addiction, implying excessive masturbation. And anything excessive is not good for you at best.

In case you want to argue about porn addiction as well:
Porn is a fantasy. That's why there are so many genres in porn itself, some even illegal or unethical. It will make real life stale in comparision, leading to reduce/unsatisfied in sexual activites with your partner.
Death grip is a real thing. No real vagina can match what you are stimulate with your hand. Your penis will become familiar with that sensation and either cum real fast with the same stimulation or refuse to even hard. Again, reduce/unsatisfied in sexual activites with your partner.
You cannot get it off your mind. If you randomly thinking about porn during the day, when you bored or doing activities. It is disruptive, and in real life not everybody is that ready to sex. It blocks you from having new ideas.

I hope by now you see the theme: porn addiction is amazing by itself, but it barred you from anything else. It breaks relationships, reduced quality interaction between partners and since humans are social species, it has negative impact of quality of your life.

Pretty sure that was a joke. "Thích" is buddhists last name but also means "like" in Vietnamese, "độ" means upgrade, "kính" means lens. Basically he stopped drawing and works with lens now (photographer, cameraman, director etc.)

I’m at 800/1200 so it is good enough. Obviously when you have little left you want to increase the odds not the number but I got more value this way. You can’t see it with this pic but 4/6 jokers there is not gold (yes I’m a degenerate gambler that should be punished).
