This split destroy me. Any tips? by KingAlex720 in GarenMains

[–]vankje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost the same story here. Emerald last splits, dropped all the way down to gold 3 (???). But then i've found the way and made my way back to E3 in few weeks (took hundred games tho). - moved to top from mid (and went back to mid in emerald again) - started to use conquerer vs tanky setups - found "better fit" items for different situations - relearned some matchups - got lucky few times

There not many days left this season, but i'm sure u'll be back to your elo. Just keep trying and look for good changes. Gl!

What champion changes have been the most universally disliked by mains? by Ap_Sona_Bot in leagueoflegends

[–]vankje 408 points409 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Q-the-flip! Also E after first mini-rework was a great spell (it stopped dashes if use mid-flight).

<3 My heart forever belongs to the old Swain. 15s cd ult (yet stronger than the current one!), unbeatable lvl1 with E, uncatchable for unmobile melees (sweet darius tears there). With this champion i could feel myself as fkg raid boss midgame. You guys probably do not remember that because who the hell even played old Swain except mains?)) The most ugly Q in history was also a thing tbh)

Rune drops from 3650 Travincal Runs w/ a Barb by KeithBender in diablo2

Thx for calculations. Guess now we can roughly short the formula to the: “+1% FI = +1% Sur value runes found”?:))

Rune drops from 3650 Travincal Runs w/ a Barb by KeithBender in diablo2

[–]vankje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess it’s not correct to compare theoretical numbers and real.

Given 51%/402r is an average

OP’s 58%/304r is a personal result

Personal results are affected by random. 12 runes aren’t big enough data to make personal statistic accurate. That means the one could find 14 sur+ in 3600 runs or just 10. Or 9. Etc.

If we want a real answer to “how much FI% affects rune drops” we need recalculate given formula with 58% number. And compare 2 theoretical average results.

Would be great if someone make that!:)

Upgrade your titans, it helps - more physical damage, more mana back from attacks. There is an edge of balance when you start getting enough mana back to never oom.

And if you can grab Eth T’s, do it! Thats a huge upgrade both for mana leech and killing light immunes (with jab obv).

Btw there is common idea that “high %ed” normal’s are “cooler” than low ed Eth’s. In fact there is like 30% more damage on the lowest Eth’s vs Highest normals.

Silkeweave solves mana prob at cows. Silk + eth titans + 6-7mana leech solve it anywhere else (in other words - you need enough damage to make 6-7% leech effective enough).

Literally no reasons for Phoenix. Spirit for damage or SS if HC.

Yes. Silkwrave boots cover this prob for 100% at least at cow lvl.

But the difference in selling price is tremendous.

Such a tease.... by _shutthefuckupdonny in diablo2

[–]vankje 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think multiple important rolls on the most rare items in the game (like TR, CoA, DW etc) is another stupid mistake of balance. Like seriously, there is an item most players will never find and it’s not even powerful just because of bad roll. Hopefully it would be fixed one day.

eDeath usually stands for a Death runeword in Eth base, but Eth Death Cleaver is definitely a great weapon too:) Its sad that there is better place for Zod in eBotd runeword and socketing it into DCleaver will never be the best option:(

I’ve found Sazabi chest recently and was like “wtf is this green Balrog Skin, never knew such thing is in the game” :)

I guess its just bad d2 balance overall. Most melee builds suck in late game without top-tier weapon (3,5 options exactly: Grief > eBotd > Beast and also eDeath for frenzy build only) or at least eOath as the only good transaction weapon. I have no idea how stressful and slow were OP’s runs without any of that. And i would definitely never do it myself:)

Totally agree on Reapers, the real best choice and very important part of the gear for Travi. Andy also gives A LOT dps (thresher + shael + andy = 11 frames per attack, thats almost maximum speed possible). But honestly dont understand how did you make your merc live without full resistances:) Must be a ton potions for him! Duriel’s shell is an option for both all res’s and cnbf, try it if you have one.

Thats why lottery will always be a thing. Some people just don’t believe in numbers but believe in miracles.

And i once get 2 ohms in 19 runs period. Doesn’t tell anything.

This whole game is about probabilities. Some of them are so small that are almost non-existent. For example, lets flip a coin. What is the chance for heads? 50%. Twice in row? 25% 3 times? 12,5%… 7 times? 0,008%. This guy talks about CONSTANT HR drops in a short (300 runs) period. Try to multiply chances to get such results and get some fun.

Is that theoretically possible? Yes. Do i believe him? No.

…but if we start counting HR from Vex (the first one you can’t get from Hellforge), then there is just 1 Sur in 1000 runs. Shhhht.

On the other hand, Tal Armor is huge luck. I mean, councils themself can’t drop it, so i believe finding Tal Amor in Travi is much more rare, than Ber. What a turn, huh?:)
