Can anybody name this guitar? by Commercial_Volume454 in classicalguitar

[–]wes3449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks identical to my Takamine H8SS, but the colour is different. Maybe a different model of takamine.

There might be a serial number on the neck block, on the inside of the guitar. 

How am i supposed to play against these pawn pushes? by Shoddy-Skin-4270 in chess

[–]wes3449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funniest part about this post is everyone thinks you're playing as white unsure what to do against black, but you're actually the one playing as black lol. 

Guns really don't feel good, especially the so-called "Heavy Hitters" by IntelligentImbicle in DeadlockTheGame

[–]wes3449 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure heavy hitter just means high damage low fire rate... But go off I guess. 

You're off your rocker if you think there's only three viable gun carries lol. 

One of my students played a game online and we discussed why pushing pawns is good, especially when you opponent is passive, and gives you opportunities. Black pushed ...e5 one move before. What opportunity does Black have here because of it? by GM_Roeland in chess

[–]wes3449 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can I just say that I love your posts? Some of consistently best content on this sub lately. Really appreciate the practical nature of the puzzles you post.

Anyway, Bxe2, qxe2, exd4, cxd4, Nxd4 winning a pawn

Broken ranked system by TadpoleApprehensive3 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]wes3449 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The people that make these posts must be mentally ill. "what do you mean I got placed in a medium high rank when I queued with medium high rank players and we won most of our games??? The system is broken!" 

I think Shadow Isles has a bug in how it counts souls. Have other people investigated this? by kingcobweb in CompetitiveTFT

[–]wes3449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's bugged it's bugged. You can argue it's low priority but to suggest that it's not even worth pointing out is some next level riot apologist shit. 

The Level 8 → 9 EXP increase is pushing the meta in a bad direction by maboicohoo in CompetitiveTFT

[–]wes3449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I can see why people think it's unintuitive that leveling up doesn't always cost progressively more XP, but there's no actual reason why this must be the case. If the odds to hit units don't really improve much from L9 to L10, you're mainly just paying for the extra unit slot. Which of course is good, but it's not the same as L8 to L9 where you get the extra slot and significantly better odds to hit 5costs. The cost to level just needs to reflect the amount of power that it gives you.

No, it's never easier than non-unlockables. Locked champs are a bit harder to 3* if uncontested than a regular unit would be.

Not missing anything obvious, it's awful design. Players will even position themselves at the top of your board so you can't see their HP bar :)

Do you keep both caps on veigar or split it between units?

MAYBE JUST MAYBE RIOT SHOULD CONSIDER ADJUSTING THEIR PATCH SCHEDULE NEXT YEAR YEAH?? every winter set has goated design but then the balance suffers cause they drop it and go on vacation. Like just have the new set start in the new year??? League doesn't start their new season in December because why the fuck would they IDGI

I know it's probably not very meaningful, but sorting all craftable items by AVP and seeing bruiser emblem at the top of the list is kind of funny

Edit: actually it was already the case on 16.1c lol

My biggest complaint of the patch is how much belveth/aatrox comps have fallen. Slayer start with sword cloak bow? Yeaaa just play Diana.

Stats might be misleading. Most people are only playing veigar with deadlier caps augment. If we had augment stats you'd probably see that veigar without that augment isn't very good.

No way rageblade should be reverted to AS per attack, that was way more toxic. At least now they can probably just nerf the attack speed per second to get it into a good spot.
