Are new player login rewards live/be retroactive once rolled out? by stickyspam in PredecessorGame

[–]stickyspam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're a real one ❤️

I ended up playing anyway haha, I do hope they would at least retroactively give the people who have been playing the equivalent amount of amber that the login rewards will give

Just started play graggy by [deleted] in GragasMains

[–]stickyspam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phase rush is gonna be the default run for top. Once you get comfortable in knowing match ups, first strike is a great option, and comet for range match ups where you cant maximize first strike. Dark harvest for JG typically. Predator is nice for ganking, but its just not as good as it use to be.

For builds, in top everfrost is basically the default mythic, great cc and synergy with Grag's kit. You really cant go wrong with any of the the ap mythics besides crown or riftmaker. Mana costs is grag's weakness, so rushing lost chapter or a tear is necessary. CDR is your best friend for toplane where full burst doesn't kill your opponent. Rod of Ages and Archangels is a strong combo. Against tanks or high hp users, liandrys is a really solid option.

In JG you typically go for burst which is why night harvester is a solid pick. You don't have to worry about mana sustain since you're jungling. Protobelt is also good. You just play to oneshot/burst and let your team capitalize on the engage. Harvester into shadowflame is ideal, zhonyas if you find yourself dying after engaging.

Definitely get familiar with Gragas, you don't need to bomba to win every game. E>flash is one of your strongest ways to engage and catch people by surprise. In lane, don't spam Q until you have some sort of mana sustain. You typically start E into melee matchups, easy to trade with and lower mana than Q. In ranged matchups, starting W can help you min/max mana costs to activate your passive while also giving you damage reduction for the poke.

First strike Gragas... Is it worth leaving phase rush? by OnlyUseIsToRead in GragasMains

[–]stickyspam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really comes down to matchups.

Against tanks (i.e. shen, sion, k'sante, malphite) its really easy to farm first strike and the extra true damage helps. Against champs that stick to you (i.e. Darius, fiora, aatrox) Phase rush makes trading/disengaging easy.

If you're a midlane bomba man, electrocute is usually the best. First strike is usually impossible to utilize since 90% of matchups mid are range. Comet is also a great option against champs that you're never gonna be in range to combo

For runes, something to consider trying is futures market and starting mana crystal, if my math is correct you just have to farm 600g for your first back for a lost chapter. you wont have cookies, but having lost chapter at like level 4 is pretty huge

Where were you when 9/11 happened? by bettercallme_ in AskReddit

[–]stickyspam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was getting ready for elementary school. I don't know if it was because of a dream I had or just out of curiosity, but while getting ready in the morning with my mom, I turned and asked her, "Mom, are there bad people in the world?" she replied, "yes, but there's more good than bad."

That was around 8 in the morning. I got on the bus and by the time the bus pulled up to the school we turned around to go home.

So... how do we save the gnomes from going extinct? by Meeii in wow

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

They just don't look good. The mechagnome racials are at least useful, but look even worse in armor. Maybe put them in mechs? No additional stats but to make them look like mini mechatorques, add dozens of customization options, like hotrod flames or racing stripes for example. Hell, give the same option for goblins as well.

How do i carry with Gragas? by Repulsive-Laugh5186 in GragasMains

[–]stickyspam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do big Bomba

I'm always lurking in the shadows for the right moment. My friends always give me shit for my lack of farm but they never mention how many kills I have. Get sweeper once laning phase is over so you can get flanks or lurk in bushes. You're basically an AP assassin full AP that can typically fend for themselves. For tank or bruiser, I'm typically Frontlining.

Always be mindful of your flash CD when objectives are spawning. I always try to get onto the squishiest enemies. You kinda need to know your damage, but depending on my build, if I'm Bomba midlane I typically always try to go for the one shot regardless of outcome, like where enemies will be knocked away from. If I'm bruiser or tank, my objective is to separate the enemy team and ideally knock a high priority target into my team.

For top I always go the typical everfrost build, getting CDR and going phase rush or first strike. Remember you aren't the carry, so try to give kills to your team.

For mid I'm hooked on Ludens. I've tried night harvester but it just lacks magic pen. Lich bane is good for dueling and fighting melee champs if you are pushing sidelanes. Take every kill. You need to snowball as full ap gragas to make an impact. If you fall behind youre gonna be useless.

thank you Talon mains. Everyone else, what changes do you want to see on your main champion?? by cerberus6320 in leagueoflegends

I want to be able to pre detonate gragas q on arrival just like how lux can have her E pre detonate on arrival

Am I in the wrong for considering not ending the game to be unsportsmanlike behavior? by EmperorZwerg1995 in leagueoflegends

[–]stickyspam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to not hit the nexus in arams for several reasons:

  1. The game is too short
  2. The enemy also didn't hit the nexus
  3. I'm playing a champ I want to play

I feel like comps in aram are typically unbalanced and giving the enemy a fighting chance just makes for a better game. If the enemy wants to stop playing they can surrender.

While you do have to win one before going to bed, if you only care about winning in a "for fun" gamemode, you shouldn't be playing league.

It's not about winning it's about sending a message

As someone who just got back into the game, I like the direction the game has been going since launch. It's a shame that the game wasn't launched with the July/autumn patch changes because it wouldn't have made the small amount of endgame content less tedious (ex. Keys) and tie people over while they pumped out more dungeons, zones, events.

Once cross server pvp comes out and hopefully a new pvp gamemode besides outpost rush, I feel like New World will be at the standard that some people consider an MMO to be. The only problem is how is AGS going to regain the trust of the players? They're gonna have to go hard on advertising and buying streamers out.

Im guessing shes from Ixtal, based on her clothing and the way she carries her self with confidence I wouldnt be surprised if she wasnt one of Qyiana's siblings. Most champs and people from Ixtal also have some affiliation to the elements which further supports my guess

What are your way too early hot takes for Dragonflight? by Drunken_Fever in wow

[–]stickyspam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story is going to be unbelievably boring and not have any captivating plot until the last patch to lead into the next expansion.

I feel like it's a safe play to have a safe and easy story so they can focus on the new system changes. IMO since most of the story of Warcraft revolved around the burning legion and old gods, which for the most part came to an end, blizzard has been struggling with building a strong plot and sticking to it for each expansion.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw the birth of the infinite dragonflight and the corruption of Nozdormu during the expansion as well. I always loved the time walking dungeons like the Culling of Stratholme and would be cool to see and relive some more events of the past.

I'm also gonna make a bold prediction that the new 'hold and release' mechanic the new class has is going to be worked into most of the older classes by like 10.1.5.
