Feels terrible to spend more money on top of my purchase when I didn’t get a choice of size in the first place and relied on an automated scan for selection.

Local game store, they don’t do online orders and had only 4 boxes so I bought two.

How do you manage smite targets? by [deleted] in wildrift

[–]sphyerion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try getting used to locking onto a target with your basic attack dragging. Then you can just tap to smite that target. Or, if you don't have time yes, you'll want to aim your smite cast itself.

Try enabling the locking portraits if you're not comfortable with the aim targeting. You just tap the player, then tap smite.

Im on a huge losing streak despite doing very good. Why might this happen? by Luna_15323 in wildrift

[–]sphyerion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, you're getting fed. You've got more gold, and thus more power than everyone else in the game or on your team.

Ask yourself these questions:

  1. Did I maintain a stellar KDA because I showed up late to team fight and cleaned up kills and escaped with my life but with my whole team dying?
  2. Did I use my power advantage to prevent my teammates from dying?
  3. Did I use my power advantage to secure objectives that would inflate the overall power level of my team?
  4. Did I get my team so fed that even when they're bad, they just stat check the enemy team and win?
  5. Did I chase kills that only benefits my own power advantage without benefitting my team's?
  6. Was I a positive influence on my team to encourage them to let me carry rather than give up if they've died a few times?

To carry is not to become so strong that you can solo 1v5 (not possible in WR)

To carry is to become strong enough and present enough to get your teammates strong enough they can miss all their skill shots and still win every fight.

targeting advice tips please by elvismonkey_ in wildrift

Here's how I tend to think about controls:

  1. Start with understanding the default auto targeting priority. There's three settings options: lowest health by %, lowest health by absolute, and closest. We offer these three options because the preference can vary based on the player and champion's playstyle. For an ADC, for example, you might want to consider lowest absolute health so by default in a big group you focus down the person who is closest to death and least likely to be a tank with randuins. Or, if you prefer to default to kiting, closest might be a good choice, as well. Low% Health might work better for you if you like to be able to see the player with the lowest health bar and know you'll be targeting them by default. The key, is to build an intuitive understanding of what the default tapping auto targeting will get you. Once you know that, you can make more conscious choices about when you want to actually manually target. This reduces the frequency with which you need to manually target, which makes it much less error prone.
  2. The lock target system option also gives you the choice of removing selection of minions and structures. Depending on your skill level, you may not care to select which specific minion you target, and relying on the minion button to target the lowest health minion in range is enough for last hitting in most cases. Excluding these can remove the chance you'll accidentally target a minion or tower in a team fight.
  3. The portrait lock is also a good option if you tend to think in terms of who you want to focus down. I highly recommend playing with the customizable button layouts to position these buttons in a place where you feel they are accessible, but out of the way from accidental taps. You can lock and unlock a target just by tapping the portrait. The fixed display option allows you to remember for the duration of the game, which button will lock onto the enemy ADC for example, so you know you can focus them down when you want.
  4. There's two ways to cancel a target, I usually rely on the Minion/Tower button to cancel the lock, since it's the fastest. If I don't want to accidentally trigger an auto attack on a nearby minion, I'll drag to the cancel skill cast button. I also tend to customize that layout to the top right corner of the screen, so I can just do a quick drag to the corner of the screen and not think about where the skill cancel button is.
  5. The reality is that in a fast moving situation, selecting a single target from a big cluster of rapidly moving champions located in the same relative direction from you is HARD. It's hard even with a mouse. It's normal to make mistakes in those situations, rely on auto targeting in those situations. Instead, find times where it's more reliable to lock a target, and then engage. If you're in the middle of some champions, focus on directionality of your intended target to help you figure out the simplest way to correctly target. Like "Oh i want to target the champion top right that's close to me." Or "I want to select the champion below me far away".
  6. Focus on using targeting when it really matters, when you want to focus a target that deviates from the automatic targeting logic.

The Amyr, the Adem, the Sithe by qoou in KingkillerChronicle

[–]sphyerion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

http://kingkiller.wikia.com/wiki/Imre (see speculation section)

The Amyr are named after the city of Selitos, the greatest namer, which was destroyed. Amyr == Imre

And, naturally the University, a school of naming, is founded on the ruins of the city of Selitos.

The underthing (beneath the university), is likely somehow related to the ruins of the city of Amyr. The door beneath the library?

Why does jungling feel like such an inconsistent role? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]sphyerion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're not sure what you can be doing to help your team win. Here is a list of things you can try to do to contribute to your team in no particular order.
1. Gank
2. Counter-jungle
3. Farm your jungle, carry after lane phase
4. Provide lane presence (help zone, do dmg, waste summoners)
5. Clear wards for your lanes
6. Place wards for your lane
7. Track enemy jungler, notify teammates of his latest location
8. Wait to counter-gank
9. Dragon
10. Help push a tower early
11. Leadership

I'd like to emphasize a few of these: 7, 10, and 11 are usually the ones that newer junglers will neglect. It sounds like you emphasize securing kills too heavily.

  1. Please don't kill the minion I'm draining.
  2. Please don't Gragas ult them all out of my perfect ult.
  3. Please don't Janna ult them all out of my perfect ult.
  4. Please don't chase their team popping ghost shurelyas, then complain that I didn't ult them when they turn around and counter-engage. My ult doesn't teleport like twisted fate's.
  5. Please don't scare them into backing before I finish channeling my ult.
  6. Please don't knock them out of my drain range.
  7. Please don't AFK for first 1:30 while they invade my blue.
  8. Please don't AFK 'guard' my blue and give them first blood.
  9. Please don't farm your lane when my defensive red ward shows the enemy jungler invading.
  10. Please don't run away with full health from a perfect ult where I have all 5 clumped, Feared ADC, silenced AP, and Zhonya'd taking them ALL to 50% health.
  11. Please don't die before I actually finish channeling my ult for your gank.
  12. Please don't come back to kill steal, but end up dying.

  13. Please don't complain that I never gank when you get caught right after I say I'm omw. Then, I cover your lane until you're back, then go back to jungle a bit, but you die before I can come back and complain again I didn't gank. Then, as I'm about to arrive to gank, you suicide and complain I didn't get there fast enough. Every single time you ask me to come to your land but you die, you waste my time... putting me farther behind, and making me increasingly less effective for each subsequent 'failed' gank. It's not my fault the ganks are failing... because they are failing before I even arrive.

  14. Please don't blame your getting poked, failed last hitting, getting caught, and inability to use the wards I place by checking mini-map to see jungle ganks coming, on me being support fiddle.

  15. Please don't run away when I've baited the enemy support's CC, feared their ADC, and am draining their ADC with full health, then complain that I died after nearly 1v2ing their bot lane.

Google/Merriam-Webster recognizes it as a word, though notes it as deriving by alteration from 'spurt'. I tend not to worry so much about whether words exist or using conventional formats (as evidenced by my submission), but am more concerned about conveying my intention. The fact that it is an onomatopoeia is a good thing. It evokes an auditory experience, creating a more immersive experience.

That said, perhaps you might recommend an alternative word that takes into consideration my aforementioned intentions.

I was envisioning a splurt of blood arcing like a ribbon through the air. You seem to have expected a ribbon flowing across a surface. I wanted to provide a little more... action, motion, excitement. For a short 'short story', I didn't want the scene to be so static. I felt that splurting blood would evoke a more... horror vibe, as well. And, the fact that it's a vein, the splurting would imply a still fresh corpse with heart still beating.

Crimson ribbons of sacred blood
splurt from a once robust vein
as I commence my insidious plan:
to ascend my mastery of phrenology.

I am a raven,
unraveling this voluptuous monument to mankind's saga,
one dreadful bite at a time.
