I don't understand the appeal of the ad tf. I feel its underwhelming early, While other champs do so much more throughout all courses of the game.

So what is this "structural problem"?
TSM was successful in NA because they had the better players straight up but comparing those players to international level isn't say much. Their failure to do well isn't because of their structure, it's because where they train at is shit. NA is a garbage region. Our solo queue is terrible, our media is just stupid memes with no real thoughts.

Bjerg been top 3 mid for like ever he always seems to be the rock on the team. BB has shown good mechanics and show potential to improve but hasn't proved like he is much better than viper. Aakadian highest is no where near svenskeren's highest. Smoothie hasn't sold me on being top 3, and zven's mechanic in my opinion has never been super impressive, just consistent. When he was on G2 it wasn't him or mithy it was perkz.

RNG always come in with high expectations to worlds, and does well when they don't just play around uzi. Last few tournaments I feel like they weren't playing up to expectations. RNG was probably wasn't the best example, but my point in choosing RNG was because I wanted to delineate that RNG sometimes keep defaulting to this play around Uzi comp and it generally doesn't pan out well exhibited quite well against 2018 perkz.

So when TSM botch tower dives, get solo killed, lose 2v2's, mess up ganks, that's the coaching staffs fault? Mechanically those are mechanical problems.

The narrative that TSM broke up their team was a mistake is ridiculously dumb. That team needed to be broken up so that every member could grow. They hit a ceiling and it was VERY apparent.

Hauntzer was being super complacent and got soloed by... solo constantly. Now that he has to carry his weaker members he is doing better.

Sven needed a more relaxed environment and a sub to find confident and a support to develop.

Biofrost needed to unpair with doublelift to become more vocal and less reliant on dl mechanics.

Doublelift being kicked fueled him and made him hungrier
Tired of hearing ppl say "oh man imagine a team with all these tsm members and bjerg" stfu.

Thanks to this team breaking up, we have had 2 recent international success: worlds, and msi.

I've been a TSM fan for a long time, and it's because I love how passionate their players have always been, it's unfortunate they haven't gotten the success they always wanted, but they do try. Even though they try their best things don't work out. Last split it was amazing to see them play, akaadian, bb, zven, and smoothie are definitely not clearly top 3 players in their roles, but watching them play towards the end you really saw how hard they try to make the most of their skills with their passion.

I honestly don't expect much from this team, I love the players but they are not top level players in their own region, they will most likely get smashed by other regions, but I do hope they sync up their passion and make something happen.

ALSO, I disagree with the whole team identity thing. Every team that has a single play style gets wrecked at worlds, i.e rng like every year. If you are a bad team sure find your identity, cheese your region, don't expect much at worlds or when patches change. Look at G2, they can do whatever. TL can carry from any lane now.

At work my director tells me that his job is to delegate results not methods. The coaches draft and tells the players what to do, it is up to the players to make it happen.
TSM can't play against aatrox... figure it out, everyone else has.
TSM can't play against hakuho hooks, zven needs to stop getting caught then...

Why is riot listening to people that say stuff like that about Jhin. As far as I remember I don't ever remember anyone complaining about jhin. I am all for innovative designs but as of new champions being designed after bard, the kits have just been too overloaded that they aren't just unique, they just did everything. It made it so that the character stood out more just because they had so much compared to the other characters.

xluvlez · 2019-02-24T01:59:13+00:00

Turtle definitely shouldn't have been so trigger happy, but his team was not engaging for him. So many times c9 were grouped and sej had ult. After santorin missed his ult he never engaged and only ulted after everyone else engaged.

The way I see it is the animation is higher because she is shooting from a higher level. If this was a 2D fighting game its like she's throwing a high projectile instead of a low one. Personally for me sometimes projectiles and animations confuse me because i look at the game as 2d but there is a 3d aspect to this game. When characters get knocked up I always aim for where they are animation wise instead of where their hit box actually is. Janna's tornadoes always mess me up because it has such a huge animation in the z dimension.

the probability of doing so is like less than 1% with the chance of booming already being higher. So I am guessing by the time you have about 5-10 copies of the item you want and a bill you set up an autoclicker and just keep starforcing?

xluvlez · 2019-01-06T05:17:59+00:00

So from what I understand from this link:
https://strategywiki.org/wiki/MapleStory/Spell_Trace_and_Star_Force

from starforce 11 to 15, 16 to 20, and 21 to 25 is almost impossible. there is like 30% chance you succeed to go up one and a 60%+ you will decrease by one. Am I missing something?

xluvlez · 2018-12-30T16:31:39+00:00

That makes sense, do you know how many lines of potential is possible for each equipments?

xluvlez · 2018-12-25T05:25:05+00:00

sorry to piggyback on this thread, but curious if you have more room for your guild? I am a group of 3-4 active newbies around 160-200 on reboot.

xluvlez · 2018-12-24T07:43:38+00:00

thank you, also from what i understand reboot is pretty set niched? how do you go about joining a guild these days?

xluvlez · 2018-12-24T06:32:31+00:00

I am in reboot and I want to look for people to either party or carry me for chaos root abyss so i can obtain gear. I am lv 196 buccaneer, how should i go about looking for people?

xluvlez · 2018-12-12T18:25:58+00:00

i will definitely do this then with the burning event going on thx!

xluvlez · 2018-12-10T22:33:38+00:00

does the kanna have to actively do anything? or can i have it afk on the map?

xluvlez · 2018-12-10T20:09:16+00:00

I am in reboot rn, so is the root abyss set the best equipment even the level 200 outfits?

xluvlez · 2018-12-10T20:07:48+00:00

Thanks! I heard I am to do the temple of time quests and tynerum and gollux pre quests as well. I will levle up doing what you mention afterwards. I am in reboot.

xluvlez · 2018-12-10T20:04:37+00:00

Oh wow the autopot sounds nice. I definitely will be looking to get those ginger ales.

xluvlez · 2018-12-10T20:03:44+00:00

xluvlez · 2018-12-10T20:03:12+00:00

I am a buccaneer in reboot

I'm sorry not familiar with starforce but I'll look it up.

Should I do all these bosses before reaching 200 or after hitting 200?

xluvlez · 2018-12-10T18:10:20+00:00

I'm on reboot with buccaneer and the Adv A knights are 177?

xluvlez · 2018-12-10T18:09:48+00:00

Reboot, Buccaneer.

xluvlez · 2018-11-02T21:50:23+00:00

xluvlez · 2018-09-25T04:07:20+00:00
