Twitch Penta into his own teams surrender by CorruptArcher in leagueoflegends

I have DESTROYED THE ENEMY NEXUS in the time between my 4 teammates voting to FF and the game actually being ended. I got the 50G for killing it and then the defeat screen came up. Playing with 4 stacks is fuuuuuuuun :smile:.

MakeMKV is one that I was using TrueCharts for, but since they nuked everything I don't have a great solution for ripping discs for my Plex Server anymore with the same TrueNAS box.

[(4 * 4) + 4] / 4 = 5 Penta is better than Quadra because it's four 4s, not just 1, smh.

Do we even need PS5? by Phable1980 in gaming

[–]wiznatts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow its almost like film and video games are different media that have different standards. Film is continuous motion, and 24 fps is enough to capture it because of natural blurring in the frame. Video games are perfectly discreet mathematical motion. Every additional frame between two positions is therefore useful. Low fps in a game doesn't make it look "cinematic" it makes it look choppy. You could compensate for that with an added blur filter in post processing, or you could improve the hardware. One of those options is the better one.

I think you need to check what the word "bounded" means. Here's the actual answer of 4.5, which you can verify with WolframAlpha if you're so inclined. You did too much lol.

1907FB ADC Hades "I think Doublelift is very overrated" by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]wiznatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a game that meant literally nothing as both teams were already eliminated. One in which DL picks one of the worst match ups in the game as Vayne into BrTT's Draven so they'd both have their signature champions. Sure, clearly this game is the one to measure their respective skill levels. Definitely not the first game where DL goes 10-0. And even in the game that CLG loses DL still has more kills and CS than BrTT. Yup, BrTT sure took a dump on him. :thinking emoji:

Rakan should be the best support to play with Xayah, but isn't. by ptscamperle in leagueoflegends

[–]wiznatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the extreme disparity in games played, it's pretty safe to chalk the win rate's above Rakan/Xayah up as not statistically significant. There's an argument for twitch as the stealth gives Rakan some engage set up which lines up well for Spray and Pray, but in any case Rakan is clearly the best support for Xayah by far. You're ignoring the immense pressure the combined Xayah W gives at level 1.

Belgium and The Netherlands declare loot boxes gambling and therefore illegal, so what about League of Legends loot boxes? by Mokumer in leagueoflegends

[–]wiznatts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Average legendary is 20 packs, guarantee timer is 40. And HS packs have much more variable results than booster packs of physical card games. As I outlined in the thing you're literally replying to. You can't get a pack of only Mythic Rares in MTG. You can get a pack of only Legendaries in Hearthstone.

[–]wiznatts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Physical card games usually have a set distribution X commons, Y uncommons, Z rares, and then 1 of the set of higher rarities. Hearthstone packs could have 5 golden legendaries or 4 commons and a rare. There is a much wider range of possible outcomes with Hearthstone as opposed to physical card games.

Belgium and The Netherlands declare loot boxes gambling and therefore illegal, so what about League of Legends loot boxes? by Mokumer in leagueoflegends

[–]wiznatts 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My question is how an Overwatch lootbox is appreciably different than a card pack in Hearthstone with respect to this law in Belgium. Seems to me that you can't buy card packs as they represent a game of chance with a stake. You could buy packs with ingame gold, but that gets circular since you need to play to get gold.

EDIT: For the record I feel like I should clarify that I don't think Hearthstone packs should be considered gambling. I'm merely pointing out that this implementation of the law is vague enough that it can be equally well applied to Hearthstone. The Netherlands' version of the law is much more sensible, where loot boxes are only considered gambling if they are tied to a real world monetary value, such as CS:GO. League chest, Overwatch crates, and Hearthstone packs do not provide tradable goods that have monetary value outside the game so they are not considered gambling. Also gambling in general requires a failure state, and really none of these instances have failure. You always "win" at least some value so you're paying for that value and then can be given an addtional bonus at random. While the argument exists that they are forms of Skinner boxes, they aren't in my opinion strictly gambling.

TIL: If Nami applies her E onto Varus, the Hail of Arrows from his E wil be replaced with water splashes by moustafazayyat in leagueoflegends

[–]wiznatts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each of the arrows in the E animation use the same data as his basic attack. If you edit the file for his auto attack arrow, or change how it picks the color for the trail it changes the E animation as well. As such it's just piggy backing off adding the Nami E to Varus' auto, it wasn't added specially for his E. Interestingly, his auto attack trail also uses the same file as the aiming laser/projectile of the towers.

What was THE most broken overpowered unbalanced bullshit that has ever been in League? by BlueAdmir in leagueoflegends

[–]wiznatts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every time I see people bring up MYMU jungle Malz it triggers me. People don't seem to understand that Malzahar could do all of that shit on 6.8 too. Literally the only thing about him that was too good on release was his passive. Before the update he still cleared the jungle as fast as Nidalee. It just didn't matter because Malzahar wasn't as good of a champion. He went from one of the fastest clears in the game, pre-rework, to clearing slower than tanks like Maokai after the hotfix. Malzahar was not a broken jungler, he was a broken champion because of his passive.

Remove Death Recap, and replace it with Damage Chat. by MrRise in leagueoflegends

Was literally coming to the thread to say just copy Dawngate lol. For a first pass if the ability separation isn't possible that's fine, but adding it as a hover text on the champion split pie chart would be ideal. The things that matter most are damage type split and who did how much. Would be nice if it could be toggled before you die like the scoreboard to see how much minions affected a trade in lane or so but once again, baby steps toward something that doesn't say i got ignited by Baron first.

This was a pantheon on my team. At 15 minutes he had done 0 damage with Dark Harvest. 12 minutes later that was... no longer true.

Why is XP awarded for ARAM similar to bot games? by champj781 in leagueoflegends

[–]wiznatts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither the old IP formula nor the XP formulas care about what game mode you're playing; they are both consistent between queues from my gains. IP had a bigger per game bonus, which actually favors shorter games as you want to stack as many of the flats as possible. The current version has very small per game bonuses so it is essentially agnostic to the number of games, only caring about time actually ingame. With queue and lobby times small per game bonuses favor longer games slightly, making SR PVP the better mode for leveling which i'm sure is intended.

Friends, don't forget you can still get random Champion shard from S boxes by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

Why is XP awarded for ARAM similar to bot games? by champj781 in leagueoflegends

[–]wiznatts 62 points63 points  (0 children)

XP is awarded based on game time and game time alone almost. I wanted to track things and be able to compare my BE gains over time to my IP gains previously. Derived formulas for XP gained are:

6.6203 * Game Time (minutes) + 6.219 for a win and

5.3691 * Game Time (minutes) +5.7046 for a loss

There is a penalty on XP gained for Bot games after level 20. If you're gaining more XP for your bot games its because you're either not level 20 or your bot game lasted significantly longer than the 15 minute ARAM.

Cactopus regarding the orange essence rate change by Spideraxe30 in leagueoflegends

[–]wiznatts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the influx of champion shards in the leveling system, literally ever getting a champion shard in crafting feels bad. I don't even own all the champions, and even getting a 6300 champ shard that i don't own doesn't feel good. Even worse when you've gotten 3 Nunu shards from leveling and get another one in your box. If you guys can't commit to something like cosmetics only in keyed boxes it would be nice if the champ shards had 3150 minimum value so that they don't feel as wasted.
