@feviknight I donโt think champions need to be (or will be) viable in most roles. But if they can be we shouldnโt unnecessarily patch out the possibility of a certain pick being really good in SOME matches
You canโt just blind rakan bot without seeing your/enemy supp or coordinating a plan
@feviknight I think for a long time people have failed to examine what makes a champion valueable (gold, exp, both, level 6 spike, etc) and the game slowly congealed to a very stale state that I think is unhealthy. The quest system also opens up some cool stuff too
Wild ex : Rakan bot/top
Seeing League classic has been so innervating that I am literally vibrating with energy and readiness
I canโt wait to play old Ashe again! And Jax! Fiddle! Everybody!!!!
I remember writing a whole multi paragraph post about ashes balance and identity back in like 2013 lmao
Dance game passion has been reignited lately
Check out this lil sight read I had to do after hearing the banger track preview
I was already pretty worn out so Iโm shocked I almost made it all the way to the end
Also lmfao my hair is so wild from the workout
Bro why do I have to restart my computer within HOURS to play league
Riotgames what are you doing to vanguard every 20 hours that requires a fucking restart dude
Yknow what the kids are alright, was taking a walk by my old elementary school cuz I been trying to be active lately and I rescued a kickball they sent over the fences, and lots of em were saying thank you, a couple shouting โyour him!!!โ
We need to do them better.
i mapped the ENTIRE supply chain behind a single ChatGPT query
76 nodes in 13 countries with 10 layers, from a quartz mine in North Carolina to your chat window
so i built an interactive map where you can trace every path yourself
every time you type a prompt, you are touching brazilian sugarcane that turned into ABF varnish by Ajinomoto in Japan that used to package Nvidia GPUs in Taiwan
a single quartz mine in Spruce Pine NC that supplies the ENTIRE semiconductor industry with crucibles, no backup, one landslide and chip production stops globally
ASML in the Netherlands, the ONLY company on earth that makes EUV lithography machines, they need Zeiss mirrors polished to less than ONE ATOM of roughness, and TRUMPF lasers from Germany to power them
chinese germanium, ukrainian neon gas, chilean copper, australian iron ore
all flowing through TSMC fabs that print at 2 nanometers, thats 10 atoms wide
this is a PHYSICAL supply chain more fragile than most people realize
everyone debates which model is better
nobody talks about the quartz mine that all of them depend on
Might sound corny, but I played my first Souls game this year. I never 'got' why difficulty matters so much to people, now I think I do.
The challenge, determination, persistence - unlike any other genre I've played. I felt genuinely proud multiple times. Idk, they're special.
Oh also after having played dota quite a bit recently and hitting top 4500, I think people are overblowing the impact by people who simply donโt get it
Some wonโt use it and type responses anyways, and many wonโt use it well
Dota is way more toxic too and it was still chill-ish
If league actually does get vc and it seems like it is, I will come back for another comp run
Last time it took less than a month to hit 950ish LP
The changes since then have been very impactful so would have to relearn quite a bit
