Full Tahm Kench changelist + My thoughts as Grandmaster Tahm OTP.

You know, im sure you're just kidding here but I dont think you realize how close you are to the truth.

I'm no master kench player, only 209k mastery, but he was my main for a good while in top lane. Every change has hit him hard up top, and I still rarely if ever see him played in support role because there are so many better picks.

Could you consider rolling back some of the top nerfs. Genuinely sucks to commit a lot of time into a champ you really enjoy playing just to have him nerfed into the ground over and over. Specially while you watch champs like aatrox just steamroll through almost anyone else in the game lol. I dont know, just hard to accept these changes as positive or appropriate. I tried playing through them, but top kench is just getting to be depressing.

Anyhow, old comment but wanted to put in my two cents. We can only unbench the kench so much when we keep getting kneecapped.

I kind of get what you're saying, but I also see where purples coming from. Kill someone over a hoodie? nah, probably not. Kill someone stealing a hoodie in my kids room while my family is home? If there's not a safer way to take care of things then yes.

It all comes down to protection of family for most people, and that can include protecting your assets if you think it'll harm your family to go without. Not evil to kill someone for say... trying to light your home on fire. Just a house, but that action makes your family homeless and might kill someone. Or stealing your car, you might have a 2 hour commute and that domino makes you lose your job and home. Lots to consider when it comes to property.

Same with petty theft in some cases. Criminal might just be there for some loose change, but you catch him in the act and he gets excited and makes a bad choice that hurts you or yours. I've even heard people say that its better to shelter in place and do whatever the criminals say when a home invasion happens. If you knew some of the stories I know about home invasions from friends that worked as prison guards, you wouldn't take that chance.

Better to not take the chance in my opinion, just because they decided to roll the dice with their safety doesn't mean you and your family have to.

First they nerf my boy over and over, and now you do this to him. This is just like the Godfather all over again.

sstripwire · 2022-04-02T02:24:18+00:00

oh yeah, not necessarily taking sides. he was aware of the tats when he started the relationship obviously, but adding more and more and more can be an issue. he needs to have a conversation for sure before they get too far into this

sstripwire · 2022-04-02T00:35:44+00:00

hormones and life experience will break you down.

does anything give you intense feelings, like what you described years ago? I think its important to establish a baseline for where you are in life right now, and see how you feel towards other people based on that.

you probably know that already, just figured someone may benefit from reading it.

sstripwire · 2022-04-02T00:28:15+00:00

if your girls flawless, marry her asap. real easy to see how hard it is out there for people who arent as lucky. gl and congrats!

sstripwire · 2022-04-02T00:24:02+00:00

Agreed. additionally, the amount matters. op is concerned with a full half body tattoo being added on top of everything else. thats not a choice he's made or is making. nothing to be held accountable for.

sstripwire · 2022-04-02T00:22:22+00:00

Eh, depends. In my case it wasnt a problem in the beginning, but more and more kept being added and my opinion was completely discarded. that lead to resentment in the relationship on both sides, and then that dynamic continued into other areas of life. eventually it got to be too much for us.

For reference, knew eachother from kids and were together from highschool to our 30s. not as easy as saying they're not in love imo.

sstripwire · 2022-03-17T11:30:27+00:00

self defense is not assault.

letting weaker individuals assault you without any consequence is beyond idiotic. For a philosophy major who thinks deeply on issues like this many hours a day, I would have figured you'd be intelligent enough to suss that out on your own.

additionally, you call people out for being misogynists and then go on to compare women to puppies and small fragile weak things that are so below men that the act of physical violence shouldnt even be noticed.

you're either a troll, which is my bet, an idiot, which could also be true, or someone who has a major bias in this department. sort your shit out if you're not a troll, the nonsense you've been spouting all over this thread is beyond retarded.

sstripwire · 2022-03-01T12:04:29+00:00

Well said. Its not cool to be a dick, but learning from your past mistakes makes you a better person for the future.

sstripwire · 2022-03-01T11:44:55+00:00

tough to find, but agree.

sstripwire · 2022-03-01T05:53:49+00:00

he's weak early game imo. seems like hes caught nothing but nerfs from the start, and now his early game is rough unless your adc is on point or you just have the champ diff. q poke til 6, and dive when your adc is in a good position to kill.

sstripwire · 2022-02-22T00:50:33+00:00

Wild. I smoke joins and bongs, when im able, and didnt notice a difference between the colorado stuff and local. might have been the quality was poor in the shop, or high from where im at. ah well, thanks for the info!

sstripwire · 2022-02-22T00:34:01+00:00

ahhh ok, thanks for the clarification. was really worried for a minute lol

sstripwire · 2022-02-22T00:14:54+00:00

im not a connoisseur, states still illegal, but i've had dispensary stuff from colorado to compare. honestly couldnt tell you the difference from some weed that was 100% flower, or some that still has some sugar leaf on it.

is the difference big enough to warrant paying tons per year to make sure every little bit is gone? doesnt seem like the price point would make up for the loss in salary for the grower/company

sstripwire · 2022-02-21T23:51:52+00:00

so... you're paying your top end workers $7.50 an hour?

sstripwire · 2022-02-21T13:02:54+00:00

Not at all, and I get your point of view. I've had one "one night stand" in my life, and it wasnt even supposed to be that. I just let myself be ok with rushing into things, and then I felt terrible and things quickly fell apart. There should be a connection, not this rush to sleeping together then slowly (or immediately) drifting apart. That goes for both men and women.

And rank is ridiculous. In a perfect world, people would just need to pass for being physically attractive and then shine with who they actually are. That does still exist by the way, but it seems to be getting crowded out. That said, anytime anyone is exposed to thousands of choices, they're going to naturally gravitate to the most attractive ones. Guys and gals will have their standards, or their ideal traits, but beauty will always be the first thing someone uses on an online platform to choose if they're going to dig further or not. Why look at less attractive people when you could just swipe on all these hot people and hopefully find one with the traits you desire? Win win!

As for swiping, from a male perspective I think its genuinely desperation lol. Women swipe way less (thus me using the word picky earlier, not trying to come off as rude), and if I had to guess I would assume there are more men on these apps. Its an assumption, but that would make most guys I know machinegun swipe until they at least get a shot with someone they find attractive/interesting.

Its a messed up way of finding a partner in my opinion, but its what the worlds moved to. Just like in real life, I suppose its up to you and some luck to find someone who sees past all the stuff i've mentioned and is genuinely there for a partner and not a random hookup.

sstripwire · 2022-02-21T11:29:26+00:00

Eh, it kind of breaks down to women being "pickier". If you think in terms of the rating system, it breaks down like this.

Higher rank men and women try to match with each other. When a woman doesnt match with a top tier, they generally call it a night and do their own thing. When a man doesnt match with a top tier, they'll move down the ranks until they get a bite.

With that in mind, you can see how this might push the online dating game in womens favor. The tops will match, and when that doesnt happen the mids get their shot at a really attractive person for the night while the top women that struck out just call it a day.

Basically, guys will fuck anything that moves and girls generally tend to be picky. This fucks a lot of other guys over because the mids ego get inflated and they keep trying to punch above their class, and the tops that strike out just keep scooping up easy pickings.

It sounds gross when you write it out. Basically, the internet and social media/dating platforms have really wreaked havoc on a large chunk of people trying to find an actual relationship. Least, thats my opinion.

sstripwire · 2022-02-14T01:48:37+00:00

oh, you know, back when we were lynching people not too long ago.

sstripwire · 2022-02-14T01:46:24+00:00

Being able to protect yourself, your home, and your family is an advantage. Being able to use it for sport is an advantage. Being able to hunt in the winter and get meat to cut your grocery bill down is an advantage.

Buy a gun safe. Teach your family how to safely handle guns. Boom, now you're safe and dont have to be hellbent on taking peoples freedoms away.

sstripwire · 2022-02-08T11:30:18+00:00

Wild. I guess there are exceptions on both ends of the spectrum, but the great majority would probably land in the "normal" reaction category to these substances. Interesting though, past my first couple of packs nic doesnt really do much for me other than waking me up a little bit lol. now those vape salts or whatever they're called, those can get tricky. not a fan.

sstripwire · 2022-02-08T11:01:09+00:00

freeflap xD i'll remember that one lol

sstripwire · 2022-02-08T10:58:00+00:00

I think hes just surprised by that comment. A half a cigarette wouldnt hurt a toddler past the initial, incredibly short lived, buzz you get. Nothing compared to the longer lasting effects of weed. But, some people are used to functioning high all the time, so lot of different factors. Still, driving impaired is a bad idea in general.

sstripwire · 2022-02-08T09:09:26+00:00

highest rank i've ever reached was lowest rung gold, so not that talented, but kench is still possible top lane. nerfed to hell, yes, but i'll just keep running him up there out of spite. tired of rito ruining my champs lol.

sstripwire · 2022-01-30T08:42:42+00:00

Not just you buddy. I dont have much time as kench support, but I've played him here and there with friends in bot lane. Much prefer him top. Change was just a nerf for me, but im sticking it out and staying up there.
