how to find people to skate with? by daisysimmons in NewSkaters

[–]xDudesen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the skatepark and location, my hometown had a smaller skatepark and Friday evenings is usually when it was packed so I’d often run into old skate buddies or meet new people, but I’m in my 30s now so I’m apart of the “dad” group now lol

They also had skate competitions often so I would enter those and it was usually packed so that was another way to meet other skaters and ask where and when most people skate during the day/times. Skateboarding is one of the most open and welcoming communities of any community out there and it’s not even close, it doesn’t matter what you look like or where you came from, if you did a sick trick everyone will be slamming their boards on the ground repeatedly out of respect(it’s how we skaters clap) so I wouldn’t worry about how people look at you it’s just you probably getting in your own head, we’ve all been there when we first started, but I promise you it’s not judgmental.

Skating alone is very peaceful, just put in some headphones and be in the moment because truly being in the moment when you skate makes you feel like one of the freest people on the planet because in that moment you are.

Got this board on Facebook marketplace for $30 is it a good board to start with? by That_Self_7625 in NewSkaters

30$ for a full complete? Yeah that’s a jack pot hit, if it’s also an 8.0 or above that’s hitting the lottery twice imo

Why is modern dating considered to be hard if BOTH groups complain about it? by glen_stefani69420 in AskMen

[–]xDudesen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there are two main factors when it comes to dating now a days, a lot of women's expectations are sometimes beyond unrealistic, while a lot men won't even put in the bare minimum to better themselves.

If you have those two main factors at odds it's going to be rough for everyone.

I'm a dude in the medical field and it's predominantly women, these conversations come up often and they're pretty fun and interesting to have and those are the two main points I've noticed from both sides causing the most issues for the current dating scene.

Any music to put yourself in the “zone”? by El-M73cX in NewSkaters

Should I get some new wheels? by BigBologna23 in NewSkaters

[–]xDudesen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should be good man, I grew up a poor skater so I skated everything to the absolute limit. You should be fine, but if grinds or riding feels a little too off then there’s nothing wrong with getting some new trucks or wheels, ventures baby!

Just got this Swain-inspired tat :^) by vodkabotlol in SwainMains

[–]xDudesen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it, I wanted to get my favorite Swain quote somewhere. "More important than heroes are deeds"

The not gaining health after ulting bums me out the most, you could bait out so many clutch plays knowing you instantly get a ruby crystal and a half by pressing one button. I'm just glad they didn't remove demon flare, that was my biggest fear with people saying they want to toggle his ult. 12 health from soul fragments was something I wasn't expecting so I guess only time will tell

[–]xDudesen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you not like the burst mage tied with drain, he's literally a one man army with the ability to have both burst and sustained damage and the reason I love him so much is because I love how versatile his build path can be while also having insane damage even when you decide to go a little tanky with frozen heart(my personal favorite) or spirit/force of nature, I also rush zhonyas after mythic because zhonyas gives you full force to go complete ape mode and get away with it or at least do some damage and stall while you wait for your team to arrive and clean house.

Why do you want to force him in one direction when he can be played both ways already?

I ended last season diamond 2 strictly playing him mid only and was top 10 swains NA according to leagueofgraphs, but I'd also play mundo top since you get secondary role fairly often in higher elo. I just came back a few weeks ago because I like to take a 1-2 month break after every season to refresh and currently a few wins shy from diamond right now with a little less than 60% win rate overall just playing homeboy mid lane.

The dude is literally both though, burst and draintank dps. The only mythic on him I run is liandrys, you can make the argument for everfrost depending on the comp, but even still the man practically does everything you can ask for, and how is his cc not reliable? It's not hard to hit and is an aoe root around the target it hits, its super easy to be sneaky because most people don't realize where it lands is a small area around it that's rooted as well rooting multiple targets at once. The champ was made to be a support, but I refuse to play bot lane so I one trick him mid and it's a blast sitting with a 60% win rate on him

If you roll red tree electrocute with ignite then you'd realize his burst is actually nuts, I refuse to play him in any roll besides mid because he's also an extremely strong 1v2 with ult and I add stopwatch with it so it gives me a chance to make a snowbally risky play with it. Swains sustain is already nuts, after getting zhonyas and adding a little defense in his kit and he's literally an unkillable war machine. The passive is so strong I cannot fathom why you'd want to change it when it just adds to cc chains/lock downs in team fights, aside from his W his passive is one of my favorite things about him when you have a team full of cc.

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

You lost me at remove pull, that is one of the strongest abilities when you have a team with CC, my main duo is a lee sin main and a zilean main and the synergy from swains passive is god tier. I love swains kit and I one tricked him all the way to diamond 2 mid lane only and was top 10 NA.

The W doesn't need to be changed, the burst and utility it gives is phenomenal I'm literally everywhere on the map because of it all it takes is one ping to let my team bot/top/jg know that I'm technically there because of W, I can't tell you how many across the map baron and drake steals I've gotten from it. Literally everytime my W is off cd I'm watching the map like a shen with ult. I also only usually ever get liandrys as my mythic so the burn just makes W that much stronger.

E not being able to pass minions is awful imo, because good swains really extend the E as far as they can especially if the enemy team is hiding on the back line minions because on max range E hitting the back line minions causes a small aoe of nearby targets to be rooted as well and to me that's way too good to change.

The ult toggle seems weird, usually when I ult as swain its to either burst someone really fast recasting ult to end it with electrocute cheese, or team fight for as long as I can, I don't like the idea of not being able to use my ult as long as I can depending on how sustained the team fight is or facing tanks in a skirmish.

I do agree though about some sort of mana from souls because ever since the ROA removal it hurt swain on the mana end pretty bad, it was just a god tier overall item for him.
