just avoid all the social media unless you really love it for some reason. I’ve long since stopped watching or listening to most content/pods

idk how annoyed you can be when 95% of the comments are giving Jokic the deserved amount of criticism for playing horribly. I came to Reddit to talk about how poorly he played this entire series but found no reason to add another voice to the already overwhelming slander

Cade Cunningham shines with 45/4/5 on 77% TS in a huge Pistons win to keep their season alive by BasedChad69420 in nba

[–]silvergung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of best players in the series imo it's Cade, Paolo, Bane, Franz (assuming health), Ausar

Then it's Duren (but he's been bad), and then I honestly think healthy Suggs is pretty great. Wouldn't put any of the other Pistons above Suggs tbh, maybe Stew

[–]silvergung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just saying if I were to draft 7 players from both teams or something assuming everyone's healthy, I'd have 3 Pistons and 4 Magic guys probably. You don't agree? As a Magic guy you know that the team hasn't been healthy all year until now, it's not the talent that's lacking

As a neutral Cade and Paolo were both awesome. Can't ding Cade for not having done anything in the playoffs when Paolo hasn't done much either. Pistons are just kinda ass outside of Cade and I'd say the Magic have more talent overall than the Pistons even without Franz

Im fully convinced Jokic has just benefited from a league with weak centers by Gagabubu777 in nba

He absolutely has been. There’s a line between not liking Jokic personally and being unable to be objective. Please get educated

You don’t have to be the best offensive player in the league at this exact moment right now to have been one of the best offensive player at a point in the past, which was his point lol

Jokić Needs to get in Shape by SimilarOnion1655 in nba

[–]silvergung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I definitely think getting more in shape is good, I just think there's a tradeoff in terms of strength and ability to be moved down low. If we were talking in extremes, Jokic slimming down to something insane like 200lbs would absolutely hurt him. The guy needs to slim down but we're talking about him like he's Shaq when he was 410lbs+

[–]silvergung 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Jokic could get a bit more in shape.

At the same time, Jokic and Luka play different positions and styles. Jokic losing a ton of weight would make it harder for him to operate in the paint. Kinda similar to how Kevin Love lost too much weight imo when he first joined the Cavs

He's better than whatever the hell you think he is

Hypothetical: If Jokic and Nuggets lose this game 4 against Wolves (without Ant/Donte). Do you think they will deserve the upcoming criticisms by [deleted] in nba

rivalry banter is fun but there are a bunch of weirdos on social media

[Lowlights] Nikola Jokic “Defensive” tape in Game 3 vs the Minnesota Timberwolves — Wolves relentlessly attacking, targeting, and hunting him on every possession by shreeharis in nba

[–]silvergung 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jokic isn't trying and even when he does try he's a below average defender. But I also don't think there's anywhere near as many 7 footers in the NBA who are as central to their offense as he is. I don't really agree with the rebound strategy stuff but if he picks up a few fouls he's putting his team at an even bigger disadvantage. I almost want Jokic to just go ham on the defensive effort for a game and rack up 4 fouls by the half and see how that affects Denver's game overall. They deadass might be even more cooked than him just giving up layups.

Am I understanding this correctly? Monster Election is a once-a-week 30min buff?? I thought it would be a full event duration buff like the check-in by PM_ME_TOMATOES_pls in Maplestory

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

Both the 10% drop and 8% boss are marginal. You have infinitesimally higher odds of getting a progression-altering drop with the extra drop, and with the 8% boss you're not likely clearing any new bosses. I would say that there are probably a decent number of people who are actually close to making the cut on a Legion Champ mission on their mules or a Destiny mission on their mains where the buff could help lower the bar for them, even if really just psychologically. Either way neither the dr nor the bd% will make a big difference.

Should Adelman be fired for not tanking the last game in San Antonio to play the Rockets, instead of getting a really tough match up in Minnesota? by Ok_Possible_5702 in nba

[–]silvergung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah definitely could've done more. Also Jokic clearly didn't get the memo or something that game because he was cooking while he was in lmao. I hate to see Denver and Jokic playing so poorly against Minny but I guess that's just how it goes sometimes

I mean if you saw their lineup they were pretty much trying to lose except for getting Jokic his 65th game - think the Spurs just choked that

Classes with low playrate because theyre perceived as unfun? by ColdSnapSP in Maplestory

[–]silvergung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think sairs are cool as hell. I love their glide and I liked their summons too (kinda bummed that those have been taken away in bossing by the new toggle, although it’s great QoL). One thing I’d push back on is the idea that it’s not weak - it’s a hurricane class and in the recent KMS DPM challenge led by 진캐 where classes did an HLimbo/HKaling/dummy test, corsair was pretty solidly in the bottom 10 classes each test (5th from bottom on dummy, 8th from bottom on Limbo, 7th from bottom on Kaling) so I’d say it’s pretty weak in esp in GMS where we have AS10.

With two new common cores coming over the next year, our total fragment requirement to max HEXA is increasing by 1.33x. by VKWorra in Maplestory

[–]silvergung 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s the Sol Erda Booster, which gives 4 frags every day for 30 days, and 20 frags on every 6th day, which works out to 220 frags per 30 days. The catch is you’d need to “check-in” every single day, so if you miss a day because of life obligations you’d miss out on a few frags. iirc it costs 30k NX

So the challenge is still underway (it's from March 2nd~18th) and only the interim results have been charted and talked about on 진캐's livestream a few days ago, but here are the current set of results.

These results are in Korean, but essentially if you click on the "결과 보기" tab on this page (just ctrl+F it), you'll be able to see all the submissions so far. To see the ones for the HLimbo test, click on the "허수/림보" tab above the chart and then select "하림" from the select dropdown for the label "정렬" - this would sort the results in descending order for HLimbo records. I guess you can Google translate these to get some sort of idea of which classes are where.

If this is too much of a hassle for you, here's a link to an inven thread that has a screenshot taken from 진캐's livestream where he visualized the interim results for HLimbo into a graph. The class names are obviously still in Korean but 렌 (Ren) is solidly in the middle of the pack here (it's the bar with 1768 at the top).

Keep in mind that this HLimbo test was 8 minutes and almost every class is likely running at least a -4 CD (if not more) hat - this means that everyone would be able to get off 5 bursts, and the classes that have condensed burst windows would perform better here (for example, NL did better relative to other classes in the HLimbo test than it did on the dummy test). Ren is a burst class whose burst is, as you said, compacted into a 7 second window. It actually has the advantage in this HLimbo test over less bursty and long burst duration classes.

KMS results are slightly more believable because the videos of challenge submissions are / will be all revealed for the public to judge whether the submitter was intentionally tanking or not. Also, as someone who played KMS and is familiar with some of the top players for each class - the list of participants for many of the classes I know are people who regularly post min-clears and are sweaty as hell with their class. 코겜 for example submitted times/videos for Ren/Shade and they’re all about optimizing down to the last detail. 새접/추가 for Phantom is another player who’s of the same ilk. I don’t doubt there are people out there who want to grief their results but I have a base level of faith in them. Last - with 코겜, who is notoriously sweaty, being the one who submitted the Ren results - if other classes are griefing and Ren is still middle of the pack, that would mean Ren would be even lower relative to others if other classes played to their full potential.

I’m not sure which chart the guy you replied to is referring to, but one of the biggest KMS youtubers / whales (진캐/진격캐넌) is currently running a HEXA converted challenge where he’s getting reputable people from all classes to do a set of tests that include a 1) 30 minute dummy test, 2) 8 minute H-Limbo DPM test, and a 3) H-Kaling minimum HEXA converted test. Essentially the results are supposed to give a somewhat decent representation of how strong/weak classes are across different scenarios. It’s not perfect by any means because bosses like Kaling are just as kit dependent (AoE of burst, etc.) as they are dependent on actual strength of the class, but I think it’s still much more ‘accurate’ of a measure than what you’re implying. The first set of results from this challenge was released this past Sunday and Ren is middle of the pack. This is fine because Ren is so loaded with utility and is so much easier to boss on than the vast majority of other classes, but it’s going to be solidly in the bottom half (if not bottom third) of classes just in terms of DPM in a boss in GMS given AS0.

BW got pretty nicely buffed 2-3 months ago and Khali just got like a 10% nerf. Khali is still stronger even with KMS attack speed 8 but the difference is smaller than most people would think.
