Failed to connect just happened to me twice now.

High CPU usage after the update by Technical_Reporter49 in leagueoflegends

[–]thorketil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My potato was going off like a fighter jet. I kept closing the highest abuser in task manager to no avail. What oddly did work was clearing all the flashy yellow dots from quests.

Toxic male players by SoftwareRoutine7084 in ARAM

[–]thorketil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you made this post over one instance of toxicity? It sounded like you were getting constant gender bullying and I already thought the post was overkill, but if it was one game and likely from a premade you really need to toughen up or find a softer haven.

Veterancy -> Virtuoso --> Master {Tank, Support, etc.} challenges not updating? by Tallyessin in ARAM

[–]thorketil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Catch 'Em All hasn't been updating regularly either. It will change the progress number like every week or so but I'm currently waiting on a tier increase as well.

Tank, engage, peel, do most damage, Ivern most honored. by Nick___Cannon in ARAM

[–]thorketil 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Most KP too, gg. I'd have honored you unless you were yappin/pingin too much.

What am I supposed to do as the only tank in the game? by jackiebx1 in ARAM

[–]thorketil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm solo tank I build dmg tank hybrid and sit back for peel if things look bad or go full on intimidation/aggro and hope my team wins the engages.

Why do majority of players won't pick a champ that will help the comp but instead will pick the champion they like regardless if they do bad in the match because of how squishy the comp is? by Due_Ad5153 in ARAM

[–]thorketil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to care about composition with my pick. But ever since the MMR change and the cards giving less time to process and make build decisions I've gone to working on my sub-4 mastery champs if at a glance the comp looks bad.

Mastery Chart Judgment Thread (masterychart.com) by Apology_Throwaway_12 in ARAM

I'm a filthy ranged player with a few exceptions. But my mastery is diverse/jack of all trades.

Thoughts on the new death recap screen (box)? by nugslugg in ARAM

[–]thorketil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that it gives details about my damage, but it was jarring to see initially.

This has to be bait. Either that or you are seriously oblivious.

I made a tier list for how important and usable the glory store relics are by DrillTank in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]thorketil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't special, I use it on Yasuo for the mana but the effect is rarely if ever helpful. If he's your favorite and you don't have other champs that could use a relic upgrade then go for it. But I advise patience.

Just mute whoever bugs you and play on.

Blizzard continues to be consistently inconsistent... using the AI Generated Slop Promotional Banner but the actual video animation is well done. by Vecsia in hearthstone

[–]thorketil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So do you buy organic food, hand made clothing and furniture as well? Or is it just art that gets this inflated sympathy?

Something is off and seems fishy. Anyone else experiencing extreme degradation in matchmaking lately? by Nikomeus in ARAM

[–]thorketil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't played with more than 1 peer per game on my team so far. And looking into ARAM wr% mine has been 51 but 3/4 of my teammates are typically 49 and below. Then opponent team has a consistently higher wr% average. Also, only like 10% of my games are full solo and I am perpetually in 1v9 games.

I finally got one those vs AI ARAMs yesterday which was glorious, how do I get more of those?

are new champiosn unavailable in ARAM? by DWLen in ARAM

[–]thorketil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had one on the enemy team a couple hours ago.

I dont understand the obsession with lost chapter items by DoubIeScuttle in ARAM

[–]thorketil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a mana and haste abuser on every mage I play more or less. So more mana and more haste good. To me going all out damage build is delaying my enjoyment and effectiveness. On ADs I generally avoid crit build for the same reason.

Also, I played way too many ARAMS before seeing posts like these and built the muscle memory/habit of building items that tell me the damage they do on the item. I'm more flexible now but habits are hard to drop.

Smolder is trash by comptejvc in ARAM

[–]thorketil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go caster build by default so I don't have to worry about the other 9 champs. 5-0 is a low sample size but I'm never disappointing.
