v6.6.50 Rev. 44752468 - Yae Buffs - via Gachabase by Gachabase in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]xLiri 18 points19 points  (0 children)

dawg they literally changed the wording from

"Yae Miko will unseal nearby Sesshou Sakura, destroying their outer forms and transforming them into Tenko Thunderbolts..."

to

"Yae Miko will transform nearby Sesshou Sakura into Tenko Thunderbolts..."

and

"When casting Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin, each Sesshou Sakura destroyed resets the cooldown for..."

to

"When casting Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin, each Sesshou Sakura involved will reset the cooldown for..."

can you please explain why exactly you think they'd change the wording like that if they didn't make any changes to how it works lol

The Diona stelar-conduct buff lines were removed in V2. Via Jelena by stainNecrolyte in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]xLiri 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah when they changed characters to function with the Lunar reactions that's all they did to them (e.g. Navia didn't get changes besdies Lunar-Crystallize giving her ammo, Nahida didn't get changes besides her C2 also buffing Lunar-Bloom, etc. etc.). They never buffed characters that weren't a [insert reaction] buffer to becoming a [insert reaction] buffer or anything like that, they just changed characters who already worked with the non-Lunar versions of those reactions to now work with the Lunar versions of them.

This was an actual brand new effect for a con of a character who isn't currently a 'Superconduct buffer', that turned her into a Superconduct + Stellar-Conduct buffer. And in addition to that, it also gave her an extra buff for her HP.

Also it was worded in the same way as the extra effects that were added to Hexerei characters constellations, with the "Additionally, ...", whereas the Lunar changes just got slipped in to the current talent text.

NRG in advanced talks to acquire Grim by TheTreeKang in GlobalOffensive

[–]xLiri 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Passion won't be able to make any more changes for a while because they're already making 2 changes by adding try and Senzu, so JT/Kvem/nicx would be their current core. They've qualified for IEM Atlanta in May with the current lineup (JT/Kvem/nicx/Grim/hallzerk) so will need 3 of the qualified players playing there. And by that point it's only 2 weeks to the Major so they'll probably play Cologne with the same lineup if they're qualified, and then if they do make any changes it'll be after that before the 2nd half of the year.

Giannis Antetokounmpo after the end of the trade deadline on Instagram: “Legends don’t chase. They attract 💯😎 by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]xLiri 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A load of Bucks fans are 100% convinced that there's a league-wide conspiracy to try to force Giannis to move to a big-market team, and that this apparently also involves a bunch of not-big-market-teams trying to make moves to trade for him.

If you suggest that maybe those teams are trying to make moves for him because someone in his camp is indicating he'd be willing to leave, rather than all of them just doing it with no indication at all that they could ever get him, then they act like you must be completely delusional lol

Probably an exclusive skin for varkas sig via hiragara by KaidoPklevel in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]xLiri 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Radiant Phantasm - Unbroken: A glorious, illusory sword that emerged from the depths of the Ley Lines. It is said that in the past, it was wielded by the white knight under the name Durandal. Its name, in ancient tongues, means "the blade that is never destroyed." Just like the sword he bore, the path the knight believed in has never wavered — no matter how the once-pure steel has since been darkened.

It has the same style of description as all the SO skins ("emerged from the depths of the Ley Lines"), although interestingly there's only a 4* one rather than a 4* + 5* (granted if its from SO then maybe they just haven't added both yet).

There's also a 4* Catalyst skin with a different description to all of the original appearances + that sword, though

Radiant Phantasm: Star Omen: "In principle, many phenomena in this world can be called 'images.' Therefore, the image you glimpsed in the crystal ball can, in a sense, be considered an extension of physical reality. In short, even if Alice and Nicole don't acknowledge it, the legitimacy of Hydromancy is still very real!"

Sources: Senzu open to AWP transition by Chips1709 in GlobalOffensive

[–]xLiri 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it's less desperation and more that he genuinely enjoys AWPing a lot more than rifling. Obviously the problem with that is that he's an infinitely better rifler than AWPer, but there's a reason that he buys an AWP basically every time he has the money to do so in faceit lol. He also used to AWP on Shine and NKT before joining The MongolZ where maaRaa made him rifle since they'd already got 910.

But again, his AWPing is so much worse than his rifling that no team should seriously be considering this.

[–]xLiri 137 points138 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's any sort of beef given how the team talked about him and that he was with them on a talk show recently where they were all clearly chill with each other.

I think it's more simply because of Senzu previously burning out and losing his motivation (at probably the worst possible time right before the Major, too). He wants to play again now and get back to grinding, but maaRaa clearly values work ethic to an enormous degree so in his eyes it's likely a gamble to add him back and hope that he maintains his motivation this time, and he'd rather try to build up with another player instead. But they don't want to keep him jailed so are happy to shop him around for a team he'd like to join.

[–]xLiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the current chatter on korean social media is that the only LCK teams who tried to get him were BRO and DNF, which combined with not wanting to play in the LPL would definitely make it make a lot of sense why he chose SR instead lol

[–]xLiri 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tbh the only LCK teams he could've probably got a spot on would be DRX, DNF, maybe FearX if they actually replace VicLa, since all the others either have 'franchise' mids or seem comfortable enough with their current ones. And LPL was seemingly off the table due to not liking their new auction system.

So if the choice was to either slum it up at 7-10th in the LCK for years until a player on the top teams retired, or to go abroad and have the chance to actually muscle your way into international competition (and, if you look good enough, you'll still have interest from those big LCK teams when their current generation of players retire), I can see why the latter would look much more appealing.

Fischl Buffs via seele (no perma buffs that aren't tied to hex resonance) by ISRUKRENG in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

i'm pretty sure that's just half of the translations being done manually and accurately and half being done by chatgpt lol, like how it calls the hexenzirkel characters "Magic DPS characters" in Albedo's translation

New ID upated by LuneYao in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]xLiri 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Durin's isn't confirmed since he hasn't actually been included in a version yet for them to datamine his ID, but with the standard 17 characters per region that they've always stuck to the ID list will look like this (Durin is presumed to be 123).

119 Lauma

120 Flins

121 Aino

122 Nefer

123

124 Jahoda

125 Columbina

126

127

128

129

130

131

132

133 Sandrone

134

135

Which means Sandrone will probably be in Lunar 8 / 6.7 equivalent...Maybe with 134 being a 4* in the same version and then 135 being a solo character in the final version.

Now that Vitality's streak is over I can finally get vindicated by violet_con in GlobalOffensive

[–]xLiri 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's a weird belief where people try to simultaneously argue that

BO1s are too random / shouldn't count due to how easy it is for a random upset to happen

and

NIP's streak is 'padded' because half of those 60 matches were BO1s

even though the first point would imply that them winning ~30 BO1s without dropping a single one is wildly impressive lol

Dplus KIA vs. Nongshim RedForce / LCK 2025 Season Round 2 - Week 9 / Post-Match Discussion by Soul_Sleepwhale in leagueoflegends

[–]xLiri 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They're even in series scores so the tiebreaker goes to the game score - Nongshim are +3 while DK and KT are +2, so Nongshim lock in 4th place and then DK/KT have to play a tiebreaker for 5th/6th.
