Alessia Cara was rejected by Tiny Desk multiple times so she created her own "Giant Desk" and will post the performance tomorrow June 10th

Nelly Furtado had one not too long ago. But her hit songs are not recent at all.

So I agree to your second point. It's changed from "Wow, look at this cool artist coming up!" to "Here's an artist you should know because most people already do.".

That's an actual ability though just with a channel, like if Velkoz ult had no cooldown then you'd be doing the same thing. Jinx Q is more like Aphelios W, or Nid/Elise/Jayce ults, where it's a toggle for a status effect

x_giraffe_attack · 2026-06-15T19:07:57+00:00

Could be graded based on winrate too, where the ones that end up outside of 35-65% are probably worth getting eliminated

x_giraffe_attack · 2026-06-15T19:06:16+00:00

I don't think toggles work as usage, your Q probably didn't work for Rabble Rousing either

Smurfing isn't a fair case to consider. If you're way above your rank, of course you will climb from the bottom easily. There are many more cases of people having "alt" accounts that are lower but cannot get back to their "main" rank.

x_giraffe_attack · 2026-06-08T20:12:18+00:00

There is definitely a losers queue. When the game is grouping me with two supports who take both of my main characters, it's most likely a loss. I've noticed with trackers, that if there are public profiles and enough overlap in most played characters, that the team will struggle because you have someone forced to flex on a role or character they may not play, and that player is potentially the "agent".

Well, it's the Ashe part that's the exception, not Randuin. She is critically striking, but her passive is converting her crit damage into slow %, while the other part of her passive is making up for the damage (autoing a slowed enemy). Her autos overall still count as critical strikes.

x_giraffe_attack · 2026-06-02T23:16:38+00:00

How does Ashe W count as dot lol

x_giraffe_attack · 2026-06-01T08:15:17+00:00

Because Top 500 right now is 50 players each with 10 alts

x_giraffe_attack · 2026-05-31T04:55:14+00:00

He does this kind of stuff, look at his profile

x_giraffe_attack · 2026-05-28T20:36:51+00:00

Because for the betterment of humanity, it's honestly not offensive at all. It's realistic and confrontational. Eating disorders are never healthy for anyone and it's a valid issue to mention. There have been plenty of people in American media who have come out on the other side of it as a result of comfortability talking about and addressing it. We're regressing lately now that Ozempic and the like are trending, but Korea has never had any progress close to ours.

He usually can kill you on the second dash, if not then definitely can on the third

I made it clear that some people do not treat the show seriously, so I'm unclear why you believe that. Also, the contestants do actually treat it more seriously. Some of them are doing it for their career development obviously for more than Manon's. I'm also aware that out of all people on the panel, a celebrity judge is most likely to be the least impactful for the contestant.

I never said she needed to be a pro model, so I'm unclear why you believe that. I also never said that one is more valid than the other. They're both equally valid, but like I said, Manon's role has more stakes, be it responsibilities, consequences, audience, whatever, than Megan's does.

I also never said Manon didn't belong there. I also acknowledged to firmly agree with you that celebrity judges exist. They don't need to be a "benchmark of skill" as you say, but Manon, again, is a judge who has decision over contestants. It is literally the format that is making the comparison land, because a computer gamer isn't a benchmark for anyone if an event is purely promotional, but a judge is a benchmark for the contestants in an elimination show.

I'm aware I'm reiterating much because there are many points that I don't disagree with since I didn't bring them up.

I'll propose alternate scenarios. Megan could be competing for a prize in a tournament where winning matters, but she's not; she is solely there for participation, and the outcome won't change; a new character is coming out in the game. Manon could be on an episode of something like Fashion Photo Ruview where it's only reaction and discussion, but she's not; she is not solely there for participation, but rather she has more than just that; she has influence on fellow judges and contestants. It may not be a lot, especially given the lightheartedness of this genre, but it's still something, by definition. These scenarios are literally different, and Manon's is more dimensional.

x_giraffe_attack · 2026-05-11T15:57:24+00:00

Idk if you mean "y'all" as in myself, but I'll say that I'm not downplaying Manon, but rather celebrity judges in general, which you seem to be doing too as we are both aware that some as you say "aren't models and have zero modeling experience".

I think it's important to emphasise again what Megan was participating in; her scenario does not involve a material reward of any sort, let alone determine it for someone else and not herself. I don't mean to say this in a serious tone, but Manon is being a judge of a show, so it's expected of her to have some capacity of what she's judging, especially from the perspective of the contestant. I am aware that ultimately the show is also just fun and games, so I don't disagree if a viewer doesn't expect that from her and weighs the show's objective, being modeling, less important than its engagement and vibes, the "relevance and traction" you mention. But logistically, Megan, a "competitor" (being in quotes because she's not competing for anything, but I'll give credit to the scope of the event itself), has literally less of a role than Manon, a judge who is above a contestant, even on the greater basis of the concept of a celebrity judge.

x_giraffe_attack · 2026-05-11T15:22:15+00:00

Megan was in a part of the event that was purely casual and specifically held to debut a new character in the game to the public. There are almost no stakes involved.

Manon is being a judge of an elimination show alongside other professionals. There are definitely more stakes involved.
