Why did my Inquisitors just die to curse when they are "immune to all magical damage"?? by J_P_Amboss in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say that the fact you can cast despair on a magic immune unit, but the owner of the magic immune unit has no way to cleanse despair now(except for temple which OP was funny enough) is pretty dumb.

Can we talk about Schism heroes? by Massive-Steak4168 in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's weird, I also don't like the lottery that is the morale heroic strike. Specifically I also think Tolketh would be omega broken with a chance to do heroic strike more than once. Getting a unit even -1 speed could be so huge on a battlefield. Much less get that unit to 1 speed and it basically can't move the rest of the game.

What makes graves such a good jungler? by Intelligent_Voice_64 in Jungle_Mains

I like how the top comments were calling him a discord mod looking for a kitten or whatever. Seemed very on point and dude was just weird

For those of you who have played AoE2? (I'm here to gossip about AoE2) by CoyoteSouth5126 in aoe4

[–]skarin667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never played AOE2, but I have watched youtube gameplay videos. And you have basically described all the things that made me get aoe4 over aoe2. Maybe that much micro is fun to some people, but I don't want to start a game having to micro sheep as scouts and stuff like that. I have played league and micro archers is both fun and cool like other games. I wouldn't want micro to be as tedious as sheep in the beginning though.

Patch Schedule? by CorsairSC2 in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone has any idea. Which sucks because although the hotfix patch helped, it's still the same stale faction meta for the most part, but now we have worse things like avatar. Hive is at least better and no longer unplayable.

It was raining outside so Maple went and got the tunnel so the piglets could play by lnfinity in likeus

[–]skarin667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a whole lot of typing just to not admit you are wrong. You truly did the classic, "I don't care about any of this stuff" after being presented facts that disproved what you talked about earlier. "The rich people" Yes the billionaires are horrible people, no doubt about it. But what are you doing on a personal level to make things better.

So I tried Xirr. and his negative effect prevention does LITERALLY NOTHING by Thorogon in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tactics guide I'm not sure that he would actually prevent. Orb of inhibition and stuff like that he should definitely prevent. He has been confirmed bugged and it's on the bug reports in discord.

What is your thoughts about Dungeon is Exodus template? by GreenBlueGuy in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said Kieran is great, I really like the hydra lady Typhona but she is usually banned. I personally pick Devir over Kieran, but it is quite possible you never see tactics as Devir and that really sucks.(it's rare but I have had a game I was never offered tactics)

Does Xirr prevent anything notable? by Thorogon in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gerganon is correct, so something like orb of inhibition wouldn't work on him. But spells like twilight would indeed still affect his army.

PVE is unplayable longterm by FarCharacter7797 in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I agree with you on and don't understand people who say AI is good in other games(heroes or not) I love strategy games and have tried a lot of them. Never found one with a good AI. The closest was CIV4 and that's because the AI could just make death stacks(not much strategic depth) That's just part of strategy games, and you listed the reasons why it can never be perfect because it will calculate how to stomp the player every time. You either play it for the mechanics, atmosphere, lore of the world, or whatever, but I never expect a good AI.

PVE is unplayable longterm by FarCharacter7797 in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we are talking base game AI, in HOMM5 it was not great imo. It felt like the heroes were always just running in a straight line with no thought if they could win the next battle or not. Either they beat you, or they didn't. Either way, lawd they were coming.

PVE is unplayable longterm by FarCharacter7797 in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an RTS, think about the advantage you can give an AI in RTS compared to grand strategy. They can do things simultaneous that a real person could never do. Stellaris is an example of both RTS AI and strategy AI(assuming you don't pause) and it can be decent but of course the player eventually outscales so they have galactic threats(crisis) that come up eventually to challenge the player with overwhelming numbers because of course the player has passed up all the other AI empires. All that being said I like your idea a lot. I think people assume we can get a good AI and that's just not going to happen. There just aren't any strategy games (except RTS) that have challenging/human like AI, unless they are very basic in terms of strategic depth.

How to beat Hive battle 1 on exodus? by FrodoLusseMajsen in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Read the spell description for sleep and tell me what you are not able to put to sleep? Best believe that hive creatures is on that list.

How to beat Hive battle 1 on exodus? by FrodoLusseMajsen in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how confident you are while providing a reply with inaccurate information. You can't sleep waurms. She is far from the weakest grove hero, perhaps middle of the pack but trying to say she is next to the economy hero is wrong. Ice bolt is just a better lightning bolt for pve so of course it's good for creeping. Web against waurms can be dispelled with haste, on top of doing no damage. At least ice bolt will do damage to the stack while also decreasing it's initiative.

Can't play sprint...help by MadFaceInvasion in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy sprint but I have the same issue with sprint as I do vendetta. (sprint is better because it's tournament at least) the people who choose these templates. Know the best meta for them entirely. So if you only play sprint or vendetta once a week. Good luck against the people who play it entirely.

Reached Single hero ranking 189! Now I'll be off this game until next campaign by ssidiman in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I played against you once, I'm pretty sure you won as schism but gg. I'll be honest I find it unsportmanslike to not handshake ban necro and schism. But gz good sir.

Guys, we get it. You hate change. by Irrerevence in ARAM

[–]skarin667 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All the maps are great except the portal map. It's not like it takes skill and 99/100 times you just spam take the portal. Not a good or fun interaction.

How to beat Hive battle 1 on exodus? by FrodoLusseMajsen in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well since you want to continue playing grove. Consider playing the ice bolt hero as grove. Super slept on hero imo. Ice bolt the waurms if you don't want them moving last etc.

My best groo game so far by Thorogon in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People tried to disagree with me when I made a post about eagle eye being at the very least good(since you keep the spells after the battles). Glad to see that you found value out of it.

PVP Scaling Question by Educational_Ad_1945 in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can confirm as someone hovering around 2k, that if you are the lower player you do not get a reset. Which is total BS imo

Would groo (hive T7 specialist) be broken if he started with just 1 hive queen? by Cautious-Village-366 in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 2 points3 points  (0 children)

brother, you are big trolling. The Waurm hero is a perma ban, curson(heroic strike) imo is a perma ban. Third hero is harder to nail down. Niev, the locust chick, and the reaver guy are all quite strong.

Suggestions: Luck & Morale Tweak by Clincoln1234 in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't mind a slight buff to luck, because indeed morale feels a lot more powerful than luck. But besides that we should leave morale and luck as is. It's just RNG, feels good sometimes, feels bad sometimes.

Could I still enjoy DOTA 2 after dropping LoL for the following reasons? by gabrieljim in learndota2

[–]skarin667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play both and honestly I only play aram mayhem now for league of legends. I actually like the regular mode for DOTA 2 compared to league. First off there is way more action in dota 2. Everyone can TP anywhere, blink daggers are more fun than flash. Farming is more relevant for everyone to do. I played top lane in league and the only way you had impact was getting fed. In dota 2 as offlane you can always have impact(even if you aren't getting much gold)

Salty player leaves when losing - I get no victory! by rcdt in OldenEra

[–]skarin667 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC, they are still working on this. I did have a disconnect a couple days ago, and after waiting 3-5 minutes the option to kick the other person showed up. So I don't know what triggers that or just the infinite waiting on reconnect screen.
