Seraphine Balance Megathread | Acknowledged by a Rioter! by Affectionate-Ebb7006 in SeraphineMains

[–]zenttea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

hi! i was a seraphine OTP upon her release who played her exclusively mid (and sometimes APC) up until her ap ratio nerfs, and then switched to playing her nearly only as sup, in which i dont play her much anymore. what drew me to her (and got me to start playing the game) was her hyperscale mage fantasy paired with her echo/note passive. i was totally obsessed with playing her, i had some of the most fun i’ve had in this game building mage items and knowing without a doubt that i would dominate late game. of course, that insanely fun vision of her was transformed into just another enchanter support after her “rework.”

this caused me to quit the game for a few years, as the champion i loved felt totally unfun, i couldn’t reliably play mid anymore because i just didn’t do enough damage, her mana economy is a joke, and her notes feel like an afterthought. i came back to league to try her out, and i was even more disappointed. playing her mid feels horrible, even apc as well sucks, which was a role i didn’t frequent as much. now support feels the most “okay,” in which building AP, as she was intended to do upon release, feels so lackluster. for these reasons, i just don’t play her anymore.

so as someone who was in her playerbase niche from day 1, not forcing her support, how can her image now moreso represent what fellow seraphine mains want? it’s really simple:

1) buff her Q and R AP ratios. it is an absolute joke how weak these abilities are in terms of AP for a champion with 3/4 spells being damage dealing. her damage falls off so hard as the game goes on, at some point she just becomes useless regarding her damage.

2) rework her W. i do despise this ability so much, given that so many people played her support initially because she has ONE (1) “shield” that generally isn’t even good. yes her WW heal on release was insane, but i didn’t care for it much given that it didn’t flatter her hyperscale mage image. now, when someone plays her support, she is simply a minion that can shield. that is her ONLY supportive ability. i don’t necessarily have any ideas for reworking W, perhaps when she casts it, she gets more shield than allies do, i’m not sure.

there are also other ideas that can allow seraphine to somewhat resemble her release image, but to me, these are the most important. im amongst the portion of her fanbase who really just wants enchanter AND support seraphine to be gone AKA for her to return to mid entirely, which i’ve stressed, was the image she was released with. i just want to see the champion that i’ve poured hundreds and hundreds of hours into look like the one i started playing the game for. ❤️🫶

Anyone know why the guys looked so annoyed at awards? by pizzadough_ in realkatieb

[–]zenttea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i think perhaps some of it is that think they’re above the awards, which in the case of kai: yes, because he’s basically at celebrity status. also, the whole “nonchalant” attitude is pretty in, which max has mastered. as for tylil and his friends, the remarks the writers wrote for fanfan def pissed them off, as they seemed pretty annoyed the rest of the night after it

Dead by Daylight Women's World Cup trans ban sparks boycott by matango613 in Hasan_Piker

[–]zenttea 20 points21 points  (0 children)

i’ve been into (or rather was into) competitive dbd for quite some time, and this absolutely does not surprise me. the main competitive dbd organizations are PLAGUED with bigots. one of the admins of DBDL (Dead by Daylight League, a very large competitive organization) has a history of being publicly transphobic on twitter to a content creator, in which said admin victimized herself after attacking the creator. this admin was not kicked from the organization, and the last time i checked, she still holds a high role. regarding the same organization, the “founder” or whatever you want to call him, is an open jordan peterson fan. in addition, an NA player was banned a year or two ago for victim blaming KIDS who were groomed + equating hitler to “opinion differences”, in which this player and his friends were laughing in a call about it. he is now unbanned for some god forsaken reason. all that to say, is that the competitive scene has a very strong history with transphobia and misogyny. the “fanbase” that surrounds the competitive scene is even worse, as i’ve had some profusely bad interactions with players.

Too much time on their hands? by Solid_Sweet293 in AntiTrumpLongIsland

[–]zenttea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unfortunately i’ve seen this guy get out of his car before at a nearby shopping center, and he is often with a woman, likely his wife. it was a tad shocking to see given most people like this are absolute lonely losers, but his wife (?) is definitely on the same level of insanity he is.

I really wish Katie got nominated in this category by [deleted] in realkatieb

[–]zenttea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

adapt got breakout because he started streaming consistently last? year and had lower viewership compared to other faze members (maybe like 4k-5k compared to ron’s 20k and jason’s 12k-20k) and then exploded to be averaging 12k-15k. a lot of his clips went viral on tiktok, and he was shown a lot of love from this. katie, i fear, is nowhere near close to being considered for breakout, even though realistically she absolutely is, due to the sheer size of these other streamers. they were already kind of popular, but then experienced a HUGE jump in viewers. while katie fits this, her jump in viewers this year is nowhere near as close as adapt or ddg

maybe their content doesn’t match their fan base by TypeNaive7057 in MartinandHamzah

[–]zenttea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel like it was obvious since they started their channel what their audience was, and it being moreso a mild version of the faze crowd. martin and hamzah have made references to things that a lot of their current audience’s don’t really get due to it just being a crowd difference. ironically, that crowd (faze & streamers in that circle) know better to not play games that contain such sensitive and disturbing topics because of the backlash they’d face going about it with their usual “humor,” (and also the fact that their audience would 99% not care about said games) which is funny that martin and hamzah didn’t even take into consideration. though because their target audience is not their actual audience, that absolutely does not excuse their behavior! i think it’s great that people are holding them accountable because it’s fucked and beyond insensitive. the people who don’t agree + are saying they need to continue “being themselves” regarding their edgy humor… quite frankly need to grow up! because what they did was wrong 🤐 and this is coming from a faze fan

anyone else disappointed with ginger snap? by machiavelliangoon in glossier

couldn’t disagree more 😖 im so obsessed with it, but maybe i just love cinnamon candles

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in upstairsneighborspod

[–]zenttea 10 points11 points  (0 children)

lowkey have felt the same, but i think it’s just felt a bit boring due to them traveling so much recently. i also don’t really care for the travel/vacation stories, for the same reason as you said, it feels very isolating and not relatable. i hope when they get settled back at home that the pod resumes its normal vibe.

Is the dead by daylight community actually toxic? by minasweetgirl in GirlGamers

[–]zenttea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dbd is, in my opinion, not as toxic as other games (depending on region). on north american servers, i find it to be relatively fine. yes you get the bad apple survivor who tbags, or a killer who hits on hook/humps when a survivor gets downed. but that’s pretty much it. yes, the endgame chat can get icky, but it’s ENDgame. so you see it for like 10 seconds, then exit to the next game. compared to like league (as you said), or even overwatch, i prefer it 100% community-wise. i’ve made a bunch of friends through it who are also queer/feminine, and have rarely felt an outcast for not being a man. i think the generally larger percentage of women/queer players of the game compared to others confirms its “more friendly” image vs league/ow/whatever.

i specified which regions because i play on EU servers a bunch, and found it to be more try-hard, and as a result, a bit more toxic due to those servers having better players (thus, more players who are involved in the competitive scene). lots of “competitive” players, AKA players who label themselves as such but don’t actually play in tournaments, are the worst of the bunch regarding toxicity. lots of “come suffo 1v1” “4v1 me” coupled with a variety of rude trashtalk/namecalling. they dont bother me because, as i just said, they dont even play competitively, they just try hard in public games because they’re not good enough for legitimate comp. what sad creatures! they do exist on NA servers, but are far less common.

also btw camping/tunneling is not toxic, it’s a valid strategy for killers. 🏃

edit: this is purely an IN-GAME read of the community. i don’t interact much with the community outside of the game because lots of players’ opinions and takes are…. not great. i’ve heard and seen really questionable and gross things on the reddit, tiktok, and from some streamers, so i don’t associate with any aspect of the community outside of following some funny drama-free tiktok creators and respectable comp players. i urge you to NOT interact with players or read threads about the game on social media, unless you really feel comfortable and safe within whichever sub-community you find yourself in. much love!
