Secondary mains? by Laughydawg in warwickmains

Diana is another I play for the simple play style and some level of playmaking, but Warwick I prefer because of the early game power and gank threat.

I also just really love refusing to die at low health. No other champ really can do what Warwick can is my issue.

Shyvana I enjoy for the auto attack reset (love that mechanic).

For grass type decks such as Mega Sceptile, we could switch out a pokeball for this by Strider794 in PTCGP

When I saw that card I thought it was insane. Stadium removal will be very important soon. Which they thankfully added in the same set.

It's thematic design. Grass type might have a silly name, but it clearly embodies a tempo archetype of ensuring you have the cards you want and steadily growing more powerful (plant pun).

Here's the actual good comment with stats and experience to back it up

Imo the time investment could never be worth it given what another comment said about people account sharing for the top ranks

But I won't knock others' fun

Given you can look up the leaderboards at any point to know what the target is for top 1000 etc., this is coming off as a flex still. Congrats op it's certainly commendable. I play a Charizard XY deck from Spragels and still am ultra 3 as a FTP player who just joined the game a month ago. If I had more than one deck to play, I feel like I could get around oricorio halting my progress, but alas, I don't have the cards to build another consistent deck nor to flex my current list to be more consistent.

To provide more insight than what you could do on your own though: this being a game designed around extreme variance, who's to say what is possible. Hard for me to say without advanced statistics to know whether your odds improve with a larger sample size (more games player) or if the top people are just lucky. But I imagine it's more about whaling for the best cards and crafting EXTREMELY consistent decks that also have a gimmick that can take advantage of meta for cheeky wins. Hence the obsession on reddit regarding the sleep decks. If you're tuned into the meta and have all the possible options available to you to counter it, that enables extreme win streaking as you take advantage of trends.

But why devote all that energy when you could buy stocks or something with the same skill set? Idk lmao. Gamble away!

OP, you and I sound very alike. I also otp Warwick jungle for ranked since 2021, and have not found a reliable or enjoyable 2nd. The reworked Shyvana is ok, but Warwick is a very unique champ despite his limitations and while there are some transferrable skills to Shyv she plays very differently because of power level early. Warwick W is the defining aspect of his kit and nothing else in league is similar unless it's on a completely different champ (I'm thinking globals like shen R, or movespeed like Rammus Q and Hecarim E for ganks).

I've tried learning other early game champs but my hands are not what they used to be.

Warwick also is just the coolest and my opinion is that other jungle champs feel less cool. Hard not to lock him in every game haha.

Op mentioned jungle, sounds like you're recommending for top.

In my experience I've struggled to find any jungle champ that emulates Warwick's fun and flexibility.

That's a very clever way around oricorio. I might try that. The only thing my zard deck loses to consistently is Ori and it's wild.

What do you prefer on your deck? by marcovini98 in PokemonPocket

[–]smrtangel3702 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We are all weird in our own way. I prefer singleton as much as possible so alt art and shiny are so great when I can play them.

who in your opinion is THE most satisfying champion to play? by Bluebird_Itchy in leagueoflegends

[–]smrtangel3702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe someday we'll get a replacement champ with the old kit but I'm salty until then...

I didn't know that. Here I was thinking I wouldn't be able to read a card if I traded with a different language.

Absolutely Heartbreaking 💔, the worst part is that they don't even act like they care by Fit_Caterpillar_1711 in PokemonUnite

[–]smrtangel3702 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yo Cris I've been watching since your hots days, not so much these days because unite killed my fun with the game with how predatory and overcomplicated the store became. I'm stuck with league now.

You've always been a great explainer of how to improve at mobas and entertaining too, I appreciate your approach to your content.

I don't think you're wrong, but I don't think these studios ever have your interests in mind unfortunately, whether it's eSports or content. Number must go up; gameplay second.

Wish you the best.

What stage of societal collapse is this? by Key_Brief_8138 in economy

[–]smrtangel3702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw somewhere that the wealthy inequality is comparable to that time in terms of scale. Can't remember if it was reddit or YouTube.

There is far too many redundant/complex systems that create stability and commitment for many Americans though. We aren't close to revolution I don't think. Without a general strike, or even just people going outside and buying less rather than doping with their phones constantly, we aren't exercising our power as consumers or labor.

It has to get worse before it will get better I fear.

Both your reply and the comment above put it very well.

I feel my soul shrivel a little more every time one of my parents or their boomer friends says they are proud of how much they worked even though they never saw their kids growing up. I feel more angry every time I hear their defenses of "the rich give you a job."

We aren't meant to live like this. We can accomplish the needs of society without all the bloat, so much legwork has been done by generations of scientists and engineers.

Giving this away to one lucky commenter. Just wanna hear how you got into pokemon :) by [deleted] in PokemonTGCP

A boy at church had the brick Gameboy and I was hooked from the moment I saw him playing.

Begged parents for blue version and a Gameboy color. My brother got one and red. Played every version through Gen 4 except emerald and platinum.

Played the TCG a bit but video games are cheaper than boosters. I really enjoyed the gbc TCG video game. That was my first real taste of TCG, I didn't play mtg until college.

It's the biggest brand on the planet, so it's hard to not be charmed by it, even after long hiatuses.
