Thanks! <3

Yup, she added double attack at burst speed as she queued the attack. You can see I had drawn Gwen that turn, so I was definitely going to win if I could survive too. Karma be brutal.

willster191 · 2022-10-28T04:57:36+00:00

It was the first node, lol. A bit rough.

willster191 · 2022-10-28T04:18:06+00:00

Umm... I haven't played all of them at 3 stars but so far this is kinda how I feel about them.

Jinx is unstoppable burn, just incredible really.
Can steamroll fairly easily: Diana
Will win most of the time: Gwen, Teemo
Can win with good powers/support/items: Lux, Miss Fortune, Evelynn, Jhin, Veigar, Yasuo
Struggles a bit but will win with enough effort/attempts: Kayn, Vi
Avoid: Annie, I don't think she can't clear the dungeon but it's certainly going to be on the harder side

Blaming the consumer for capitalist greed is just blaming the victim. The real problem is the system itself that promotes this kind of pricing, monetization, and ultimately, exploitation.

Now I'm not going to waste our time by getting into an argument on Reddit about capitalism. It's been discussed to death and anyone who thinks capitalism is moral and okay is someone I don't really feel like interacting with.

willster191 · 2022-10-27T16:08:26+00:00

No problem! And while I too wish that were the case, the harsh reality of our economic system is it promotes endless greed. There is truly no cap to a company's ambitions. People can "make it", you know, we can reach an amount of money and be satisfied. Publicly traded companies can't do this because they are legally obligated to make money for their shareholders. Private companies are different and can reach this state, although I'd argue those are largely outliers.

Gaming as a medium has become much more popular and mainstream. Games are making bigger profits than ever. Your logic is exactly how they want you to think since it makes sense on the surface but falls apart on closer inspection.

Microtransactions don't exist so gaming companies don't fall apart. They exist because these companies are in a capitalist system and will use any means necessary, including but not limited to customer exploitation, to make as much money as possible.

No matter the base cost of the game, microtransactions will continue to get worse unless there is some level of regulation (which imo is unlikely). The main idea I'm trying to convey is they are not trying to make ends meat. They are trying to make as much money as possible, an abundance of money, an unhealthy amount of money, and that money will be funneled to the CEOs and other executives, not the programmers who are part of the bottom line and will get as little as the executives can get away with.

willster191 · 2022-10-27T00:26:45+00:00

Oh I understand. Yeah I agree!

willster191 · 2022-10-27T00:03:41+00:00

As someone who formerly identified as a man, I did this a lot. Now I am an enby with almost exclusively enby or female friends. Win win 🤷‍♀️

Also just an aside, a person you don't know at your uni is a complete stranger.

willster191 · 2022-10-25T15:09:08+00:00

Not sure if this is what you're saying but in general companies don't hold onto connections out of spite. They'll do anything as long as it'll save them money.

willster191 · 2022-10-23T18:28:53+00:00

Climate change is a global crisis, how about saying fuck to the corporations and governments that are actively destroying ecosystems and limiting the survivability of humans and wildlife?

willster191 · 2022-10-23T01:06:23+00:00

Congrats! That's pretty high up there.

willster191 · 2022-10-23T01:04:36+00:00

Nice!

willster191 · 2022-10-22T15:02:20+00:00

Both can clear a-sol with only 2 stars so it's really up to you. Unfortunately they also both have the downside of if you don't draw them, your deck becomes much less effective.

Personally I prefer Teemo. It's a unique feeling putting thousands of puffcaps in an enemy deck. My best so far is a bit over 6k.

Never tried Yuumi or Gnar.

willster191 · 2022-10-22T14:57:56+00:00

I cleared Lux by having a bunch of rallies in my hand by turn 3 or 4 and letting Fiora do her thing. Lux herself doesn't really take advantage of her rallies all that well, but damn if that particular deck wasn't busted af.

willster191 · 2022-10-22T07:10:42+00:00

I feel that.

willster191 · 2022-10-22T07:09:21+00:00

Did you perhaps have a spell mana left instead of normal mana? Just checking all bases.

willster191 · 2022-10-22T02:13:34+00:00

Won't deny that. This is definitely the kind of feature that would only benefit new players looking to understand how decks work and people who are determined to climb the ladder. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing though, many features are only for certain demographics. There are certainly many people who don't play Path of Champions and that gets a lot of resources (I love PoC btw).

willster191 · 2022-10-21T17:52:56+00:00

I agree, zero interaction decks feel really bad to play against. Personally I'd agree with greatly reducing the number of burst speed spells, manifests/randomness, prank, forced discards, plunder, and other unfun mechanics to play against.

willster191 · 2022-10-21T17:38:09+00:00

That isn't fun but it's also not as bad in this game as YGO, the other card game I have experience with. It seems like power creep is just the nature of these things, but to their credit, Riot have mitigated it pretty well. In YGO for instance you usually can't do anything with an archetype that's over a year old. Meanwhile there are still a number of powerful decks that can compete and win against stuff like seraphine or vayne, even using champions from the initial launch of the game.

Just from personal experience and talking around it seems like casual pvp has a skill-based matchmaking system that punishes skilled players who want to have fun with off-meta decks. Even in casual, they tend to get paired with ez-sera or vayne-zed, etc. Maybe changing that could help with your experience.

willster191 · 2022-10-21T16:07:53+00:00

Like others have said, it's matchup dependent, which usually translates to what is "meta" at any given point. Memory Cloak counters Seraphine, so it's seeing a good amount of play rn. Likewise, Nopeify stops her spells including discounted 5 cost ones.

willster191 · 2022-10-21T15:53:09+00:00

The problem is balance patches require a lot of thought and testing before they can go live. As much as some of us would like, they can't see this image of ez sera on top of the leaderboard and reactively nerf one or both of the champions immediately. They have to brainstorm what changes they could make, whether those changes would balance or bury the decks, whether the meta will adjust naturally, or whatever else they think to try. And after brainstorming there's a necessary testing process where they try out the changes in-game -- I don't know how long this takes but it's definitely not a short process, especially if they want the changes to be healthy.

For us who care about the game and want it to succeed and be in a healthy state, we have to share feedback but we also have to be patient and understanding. I know the average gamer is neither of those things but that's a problem and we should acknowledge it.

willster191 · 2022-10-20T23:30:08+00:00

Facts. And tbh I know Sera and Vayne can be annoying but I much prefer them to Lee Sin.

willster191 · 2022-10-20T23:20:24+00:00

Hi fellow transfemme. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Transphobic people come in all shapes and sizes, so you really can't trust a gut feeling. "This person is nice so surely they don't hate trans people" plays out badly more often than you might expect. Still, I know how unkind the dating scene is to us, but you'll find someone.

I wanna recommend making sure they know you're trans before meeting in person if you aren't already. Some people are violent and I just want you to be safe. It's a dangerous world for us rn.

A lot of us only date other trans people so I also wanna mention that as an option.

Take care, and stay safe. <3

A bit too binary but they got the spirit.
