#psyker-class
1 messages ยท Page 1246 of 1
I use different weapons for each loudout. I have 4-5 for each class and the only loudouts that share a weapon are my smite and chorus build
Cowboy revolver is goated
Deimos gang
zarona?
I think? Idk i forget the names constantly
ads or braced
oh man of taste
That's agripinna
I just need a big cowboy hat and cigar now
though this is psyker so the version of the cigar is a blunt and the cowboy hat is actually clown hair
Are las revolvers a thing 
Laslok pistols exist so probably
Because thats what the god emperor intended
i remember saying this in a stream but one weapon i would love just for the lols is a shotgun that just shoots railway ties like 6 of em on ogryn
Rail gun
Give ogryn the junk jet from fallout
i was thinking more blunderbuss
Just cram stuff into the barrel
The only problem i see is that theyd probably break the barrel by accident alot
prepackaged shots
Gotta really re inforce that thing
no messuring just stuff
OH. I thought you were talking about just putting stuff in the barrel
Likely. And with less hassle
I still think ogryn should have a blitz where he picks up corpses and tosses them
i just want a gun that pins people to wall not gonna lie
Like a crossbow?
hence the railway ties idea though, likely just mist them but still
Itd be like the hounds all over again
oh the fun times
yuck did my own checking to confirm it and yeah DD doesnt show on the hot bar :( hope they fix that but it seems like that issue is a month old already
i stopped caring about it once i knew i still was getting the buff
but i hope they fix it
at first i thought dd just wasnt workin lmao, mah dmg

guess it's the 10 slot limit for the buffs UI
It's been an issue since patch 13, it was just more rare

Not rare for me
Buff UI mods get around that by adding more bars I suppose 
Brain burst should suppress around it 
Who wouldn't be scared if your friend's head just explodes
TRUE
Actually
It takes like 3 BB to kill a crusher right?
Could you imagine what that would look like?
What it'd sound like?
We need @lethal lagoon pepes

I'd take a modifier that allowed it to do slightly less damage but hit multiple targets. As of now I feel like it's hardly competition for either of the other abilities. The crystals are crazy strong for elites and kill way more faster
Assail....?
BB is actually insanely powerful lmao
If you find issue with it it's legitimately just a skill issue. BB is wild
Yes assail
Assial = 
BB = 
LOL
smite = 
Smite is my favorite
everytime I've brought BB anything I aim at is dead before it charges
@tall gazelle If the people you're playing with are killing faster than this you have an insane team
True in a few cases actually
Yeah..
By "insane team" I mean "physically impossible to outshoot this speed"
I should say, I typically play on Heresy so maybe it's different on higher difficulties

oh yeah, played a match right now and it was there for it, so guess its a sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt work situation
wonder why
Oh I didn't realize that was what the ping was for. I'm at work, sorry
Amen.

I work 12 hour night shifts In a factory so
If you don't have 100% uptime you're literally stealing company time ๐ค
lmao they can suck a dick
STOP

Hoenstly yeah. We calculate our efficiency at the end of a shift and I could care less what it is lol and tbf they don't care either as long as you write a reason for it being lower than 85%
But anyway, smite good.
yeah smite is the best one, i dont like it out of principle... but brain burst is crazy good, assail is strong to but you cant get the cdr on special elite kill
lmaoo
I prefer using the bubble shield, I like being team support whenever I can. DPS be damned.
smite is great though
but if you're playing with a cracked team
smite becomes that much less useful
smite would of made a good staff with higher dmg
as a blitz
i wanna rip my hair out
ppl misuse it
and then when they figure it out they abuse it
smite shiek

Whats wrong with it exactly?
oh boy, on the lower end people are brain dead and are smiting poxwalkers and just generally being a detriment. on the high end people run it with a build and with zero effort clear a map
smite shiek with surge
To be fair there's like a sweet spot of teammate skill with smite
Either they're too stupid and ignore the 5 ragers you're smiting
Or they're too cracked and those 5 ragers are dead by time you got your smite charged up
this is what I mean by it scales inversely
That's why i run an autogun on my smite build.
If you see me shooting things, that means i'm very disappointed
Oh I see. I use smite surge but never shriek. I just use smite because it CCs well and often in heresy lobbies, you get a you get some players that need all the help they can get lol
Nah it doesn't really scale inversely
The scale of smite usefulness and teammate skill looks kinda like a really fat guy lying on his back

shriek is a smite enabler
the scale of smite usefulness is based off you build not skill, the occasions that a normal smite is useful is so rare that you have to make a build to get consistant value
yeah surge would have been cool
yeah exept its single target
not YOUR skill, teammate skill
This is what the smite/team skill scale i mentioned looks like
yeah ment to say your skill mybad
you right
but nothing to do with teammates
I'm one of the disrupt destiny running maniacs.
i'm unironically too unskilled to use smite
Either i one shot ragers and melt crushers with the funny poke sword or die trying
every time i try, there's a single poxwalker behind me that interrupts my cast
nah, just not aproaching it right
knowing when to use smite isn't skill it's knowledge
Mechanically it's braindead since it's like RMB + LMB
But WHEN to use it is where people choke
make sense idiot
when i use a chaxe i kinda like the fact that the crushers are not moving around trying to rape me
nowadays i use surge for single target and illisi for hordes, and only smite when we walk around a corner and bump into 6 crushers
that's pretty much correct
Good place to use smite:
10 FUCKING CRUSHERS/Mixed Horde
Bad place to use smite:
A singular poxwalker
the smite is better when your in the corner trapped by 6 crushers
better to just kill the crushers
what about pox bullying, it's fun
Trusting your team to kill the crushers is potentially problematic.
However since I have smite/shriek for hordes I use a dagger because swag
there you go
like punching snipers
There are significantly more fun ways of pox bullying.
You give them a full smite/shriek combo and wait, if nothing happens you use surge
That also take less time.
I once saw a dumbass smiteker run a full smite/shriek rotation on a single fucking poxwalker
Speaking of
WHY DO ALL OF THE STUPID SMITEKERS RUN THE DEIMOS
IF THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO FUCKING USE IT.
lmao
AT THAT POINT JUST TAKE THE KNIFE SO YOU CAN RUN AROUND.
probably regenerating toughness
they dont know how either
That might of been me, look at my weakspots and crits.

You are every braindead player we bitch about here
Manufactorum mission, we just got out of the elevator
Bro was at full toughness
i have the second most weakspot hits in my last game and i was running purg
I ran a smite only build at level 1 too, it was great.
OnlySmites
AssialNBattery

I need one for BB

BallBurst
BrainBaller
I don't get that reference
Brain Aneurysm
Video de la canciรณn Initials BB de Serge Gainsbourg con partes de The Bardot Show de 1968
it's sad that you english speakers cannot understand the lyrics ๐ฆ
Not sure if it fits but maybe BrainImplosionEnergy
yourbrainonwarp
BrainyNotBrawny
Brain Burst is just giving the heretics Brain Implosion Energy (10 thousand grams of pure caffeine) because they can't commit heresy if their heart stops

Oh yeah, my lethal dose is like 18gs, not counting my super high tolerence.
Oh wait you wrote 10 thousand grams, it confused my brain
I guess you say I had a
BrainFreeze

Nah that's lame
lmao
Honestly psyker main anatomy is like
20% caffeine
80% copium because fatshark doesn't add any new force weapons with the update
A psyker snorts a line and the nearest person's head explodes
Marks my words
Space wizards without beams are just Space
scaling with the time held?
that would be burn
naaah
well yes, but a different mechanic to make it unique
and works with talents that exist
DD with beam staff 
I think a beam staff that does increasing damage the longer you hold it on a target with bonus damage to unyielding would be sick
if it did that also make it a crit stick
yeeeee
We need some of that copium
off to the bin of hopes and dreams with the brettonnian longsword and solomode
Bret forcesword 
how do you top the bret
instead of the lady blessing our sword its the omnisiah
Imagine taking GK horizontal swipe
virtue of confidence
i loved that one
too bad virtue of audacity existed
oh and impetuous knight was completely useless
make it a zealot ability
and have it buff based off amount killed
would be nuts
never happening
lmao invisibility
Stelf
in melee with a crusher 1 second and vanish
But cannot phase through mobs 
it has to be magic or heretical technology
less than a foot away from a dude
and you disapear, no amount of training doing that
our characters are batman apearently
Meanwhile the actual wizard doesn't have stealth
good
nor should we
stealth is a little wack
which is funny because when i started this game i loved infiltrate
mostly because it wasnt shout
but its also disgustingly strong
Tbf it's kinda funny how we have soulblaze
But so little synergy with soulblaze
At most it's get warp charges or get more soulblaze
or crit increase warp dmg or warp dmg on nonwarp kill
also soul blaze on elite kill
wildfire sucks
Honestly something like Mercy Killer but for Soulblaze would make it significantly more viable
also all our melees our at best mediocre at crowds
The Illisi in question:
the fact that the purg staff exists means that it limits how much you can make synergies with soulblaze
i said it
cuz you can just spread absurd amounts of soulblaze
Honestly they shouldn't hold back that hard with soulblaze
Yeah sure we have a staff but so many nodes on the skill tree are just ass because they're too scared of it
you pretty much have to invent another "soul-something" DoT
Fuck it, give Soulblaze passive Cerebral Hemmorhaging from the old psyker skill tree
If something is on fire with soulblaze, depending on how many stacks of soulblaze, it takes more damage from everything else
i just wish it was easier to see how much sould blaze was on someone
M O D S
Why add quality of life WHEN YOU CAN GET THE WORK DONE FOR FREE
a mod that shows the highest soulblaze stack near you would be neat
since debuff indicator is overkill
Ah yes i sure do love SEEING FUCK ALL BECAUSE MY ENTIRE SCREEN IS SOULBLAZE INDICATORS

Or even the average number in the area?
At this point i've just started reading everything i say in Male Loner Psyker voice
like i wish it was kind of a stage thing where the fire on them was brighter of dimmer based off stacks
but noo numbers you want
i heard remove wildfire
You take that node, Soulblaze now makes enemies take more damage from everything that isn't soulblaze
can we get rid of void first
Void what?
oh i just hate void
Do you mean Voidstrike?
Maybe we should get rid of you IN A BOX FLOATING DOWN THE TORRENT
^Voidstrike main
void strike dumb, you never have to switch off the thing and inf cleave cringe
and range too
->inf cleave
they all do it
->never have to switch off of it
besides surge
Have you ever seen a voidstrike staff?
Because i can assure you, it does not have infinite cleave
Then why does it explode on a crusher's face?
Not really
Vet Power Sword gets giga cleave and can pass through that just fine
So does illisi
it's ~10 cleave
i forget if it's 10 or 12
but a full-charged vstrike ball does have finite cleave
You know what? I will
Just to make you angry that voidstrike exists
eh so does plasma and power sword
i know
plasma has >52.5 and powersword has sunder to elevate it to >40 cleave
You can't bring up plasma in a cleave discussion
Plasma just has YES for a cleave stat
and it used to have none, should of kept it that way
psword is 11.7 cleave at 80% cleave targets and sunder is 4x of that
Nah, keep it the way it is
btw where do you get the numbers
But remove the safety from explosion
If that shit hits 100, kablooie the vet
weapon calculator has them for the psword but not sure for the plasmagun
oh weapon calc has wrong values for the LMB
probably because it's assuming 100% charge
plasma gets 1 cleave for every 1% of charge
and LMB shoots at 52.5% charge
hence 52.5 cleave
im not 10, you just running the voidstrike doesnt piss me off... if you werent running it 10 other slobbering weirdos are
yeah i got one
weapon calculator in case you don't have the link saved https://dt.wartide.net/calc/
Darktide calculator for damage breakpoints against enemies. Developed by ManShanko.
The most braindead voidstrike imaginable
actually you got screwed a little on that roll
the crit blessing is better than charge rate
Nah i wanted a flurry one myself if that's what you mean
It was way too slow on the crit staff
So i made a flurry one and put surge on it instead
Since i get a guaranteed crit at 5 headshots anyway
In a way, it's still consistency
I'm slapping them with a shit load of damage
And with how many balls i'm throwing, one of them is bound to be a crit through sheer probability
well the whole point of surge is break points and boss dmg, the flirry sure helps in the boss dmg but the crushers arnt getting one shot as much
Well yes
But with how fast i can get a full charge i can just put them on their ass
only issue i see is peril but peril is barely an issue
yeah its peril
See, if i overperil, i become my final voidstrike
lmao
And lose my auric no death streak
Because i'm playing with 3 zealots
And we all know that zealots do not know teamplay whatsoever
Can I see the stats on the knife there? Just out of curiosity
I saw a zealot die because another zealot walked past him, while there was nothing there
the best kind of zealots
And he was just in a net
hmm this is auric?
Here you go
what region?
Ty
EU
Don't fuck with no EU zealot
still dumb
They got no brain cell
Damn man what a stat distribution.
The only time i've seen a zealot pick up anyone is when i run zealot
Or it's a shroudfield zealot
So far it seems like
CTW Zealot: You're going to get picked up but just barely, or you'll die because they zoom past you
Shroudfield Zealot: 50/50 on whether you die or get picked up so fast you don't even realize you got picked up
Chorus Zealot: You will die
Because Chorus zealots seem to think staring at you with a crucifix picks you up
Zealot is my favorite class and i use my knife speed just to pick people up. I also run with the uhhh pulse ability whatever the hell it's called for support
the god emperor will decide yee fate
Chorus
Ye I'm bad with names
I have an even funnier knife on my zealot iirc

Zealot pray you stay alive 
Zealot sends thoughts and prayers
Any choirer?
we are a psyker, he is praying we die quicker
I kinda wish chorus could pick people up but I get that's sort of a vet thing
I don't know what kinda psyker you are but zealots actually like me
Probably because of my willingness to res people in the middle of actual hell
A zealot player straight up told me that i'm the best psyker he's ever seen
Tbf most zealot voice lines call psykers freaks so they probably do hope they die
yeah i got that too
"you are ah different then most"
something like that
Built different
Blue eyes best eyes
I wish there were more unique customizations depending on your home world. And more customizations in general I suppose.
give me the ability to make my guy look more disfigured
my guy is a messed up face on a normal dude
Nah actual player, not the zealot
Also that's a cutthroat line
me and my friend were called the most unconventional psykers they've seen

Because we're turbo aggro
lmao
i got told i was the only guy on the team he liked
Judge zealots have been a bit more nicer than the other two to my psyker. But that still doesn't say much imo 
Love how the Professional Vets just hate psykers tho lmao
Unless you are Savant
was a wack game
Because enforcer blah blah
the savant is the only decent psyker, the rest are insane (decent for the emperium their all good voices)
Ya I been running a fem Loner on my Smitesyker and she's kinda bonkers
Can't wait to hear the Seer next
i run the male loner psyker and havent changed
I was kinda put off by how mega nasally he sounded in the selection screen. But then ingame when he speaks in a normal tone, he actually sounds cool?
I love how the Loners sarcastically antagonize the more pro Imperium characters lol
well loner is a guy who knows whats up and just hates it
I gotta wonder how they still didn't grt executed by more of the zealous teammates, given what they say 
Guess Grendyl is really running a mega radical Inquisition warband
our psyker does some highlevel stuff so probably just we are useful
What warp does to a mf
i mean every one of them says their losing control
its not something nice if you have to control it
magic is a bad deal
I do appreciate how while the Loner is not exactly pro Imperium, they still hate the heretics more lol
because loner seems to how incredible knowledge on what has happened, like some warp foresight past sight shenanigans.
he doesnt exactly hate the emporer but knows hes a corpse on a thrown
He also seems to have some kind of prophetic abilities
yeah loner is a crazy powerful psyker, seer is gonna get everone killed
swear his beloved is a demon
People think its a tzeench demon
Which, if you're gonna be swayed by any of the chaos gods to do things
tzeench would be the best one
its tzeench he will turn you into a spawn and chuckle
One side wants to feed loner to the emperor
The other side wants to turn him into a daemonhost or horrific flesh abomination
Bro's just looking out for his best interests
this is how to build blazing trauma right?
need to finnd blazing spirit IV still though
there is no blazing spirit IV
I'm the living embodiement of blazing spirit if you know what i mean
o
nevermind then
good to know i wasted 2k plasteel
lul
so that's it then
This is pretty much as good as you're gonna get
nice find!
Good that you know before it became 20k wasted 
ya
Has a mod ever stepped into psyker chat
generally only when asked
I know ogins and vets have some mods there chatting
we govern ourselves pretty much
I had to call a mod in here last week cause a guy was going in on me and wouldn't explain why

Then there was that guy who got mad at me for using a word he didn't think existed..
Lemme find that actually it's fucking hilarious
What was the word lmao
Prob also has to do with the fact that psyker has a much higher skill ceiling than anything else in the game
Damn he went on a whole tear about a word
Right?
Is this ironic 
I've seen a couple ask psyker questions.
But otherwise it's the wild west as long as you don't post kirby gifs.

i know that ogryn has hank and whatnot but the other mods (skele, incan) usually hang out in zealot
I'm lucky I've actually become immune to that 
Would explain why theyre not in here then, i usually talk shit about zealots lmao
Nah zealots talk the most shit about zealots
Same for most chats tbh
Except ogryn chat, because nobody can hate ogryns
me talking shit about psykers ๐
maining a class gives you the privilege to be discriminatory towards it
Good, I had 3 zealots in my game yesterday and somehow none of them wanted to rush the enemy ranged and get into melee, it was awful 
Planting a shield is like running smite bubble
I revived one knife zealot and they ran forward into 3 flamers and died instantly 
Kinda not even close tbh 
He had the right idea at least
Forward = good
There's something I can apperciate about a Zealot that lives to his own truth
Better than hiding behind the psyker, I didn't even run bubble to protect us 
This is the cursed ass torrent assassination map
I will say though, I once had an Ogryn save a match by planting in a choke point until he died.
The one and only time
You chasm>?
No the other one
What happened to him anyway 
I have 0 clue
Then I try to figure out where the issue is because I don't want bad blood
And he just starts attacking me
Angy
Oh the steps, I get you, yeah that whole section
There's two small watch bunkers and a gate yea
What steps, I need to know
If you are stuck there with all the specials coming from behind, a room full of shooters inside
Oh steps leading into a hallway on the right side and then up a ramp on the left again?
Uh through a gate, up the steps, into a huge lobby with staircase on the left
Idk if thinking backwards will be better 
Chasm Station HL-16-11 doesn't explain the map enough for you?
The only way I know maps is thinking about from start to end
He's talking about Magi

Yea magi
I was going for the most ambiguous map name
That's literally all of them
Chasm Station = Logistratum Ass
But like chasm station ends in a train station
You know what
That's the worst example
Thinking backwards it's
Assassination boss > elevator up > prison > prison > cathedral room > big flat room > room with stairs > building entrance
lmao

Ogryns are consistently chill in chat or ingame. So when you meet that one or two toxic oggies, they unfortunately then end up sticking with you more 
Oubliette magistratumthesenuts
I don't


Lmao, didn't even know that was an actual word either. Really funny seeing someone lose their marbles over it lol
Even if it wasn't a "real" word
A pedant, in real life
The parts of the word make sense
We know one or two
Real life Agitator behaviour
In or with 

With medicine implies I'm working with actual medicine, in medicine means I work alongside it

So I technically worked alongside medicine
I have experience with medicine
starts going off about the "etymology of words" like he's special for it
I gobble them


I was more going along taking drugs, because we psykers sure take a lot I imagine, but that works too 
But that's enough of that for now
lmao i ACTUALLY WORKED IN HEALTHCARE
Yes yes 
ok so
Considering taking like 10 edibles
For whatever reason this strain doesn't do shit for me
And it's frustrating
mostly because expensive
And it's just like AAAAA
MY MONEY
You could buy cosmetics instead

yes buy lipstick



You missed the : at the end 
โthese edibles ainโt shitโ
massively overdoses
โOooooooooh shitโ
That's what the
was for
LOL I fucking wish
I mean I don't
Too much is horrifying
you cant od on brownies
at that point you lay down and try to hold on
you canโt ld50 on thc but you can still overdose
So there's proper overdosing which is "so much it causes a physical danger of your wellbeing" and overdosing as in "I think I'm a dead man walking."
overdose as in "more than a dose should be for optimal effects from the drug"

eating 10 brownies definitely qualifies
bunk brownies
It's the strain itself
Doesn't work on me very well, which isn't not expected
I process chemicals terribly
take a t break
take a longer one
I was off for like 2-3 months
Like I said. I process drugs terribly. I can't take benzos cause they cause me to go into hyper aggressive states or I start gouging out my own flesh with my nails becuse of it
So it's usually the strain that I have to be very cautious about
careful, sibling. donโt listen to the voices! except my belovedโs, of course
Fear me, FEAR ME. ....oops.
Havenโt played in a couple months. Is smite still worth getting?
epic penetration
Helyea
Would highly recommend using smite for the ep penance
Bonus points if you're playing with hunting grounds mod
Playstyle is kinda afk tho
My brain wiring is telling me
EP smite is alot more fun than trauma
Idk why 
Must be the lightning effects
And also how good it is in dealing with mixed hordes
And shooters
Still pref void or trauma tho
You actually get to play instead of sitting there holding left and rightclick
Everytime I try to fight shooters with trauma I start crying uncontrollably
Although my perception is scuffed because im good at dodging in place
So i dont get interrupted and lose ep stacks for no reason
I dont xd
Not if you can dodge with the i frames alone
Until it isn't
Just dodge slide forward, push your team onwards!

You only need them until the stun kicks in
After that you just need to spin around a bit to cover more angles
This works until you've dodged into cover only to realize you're getting dead angled by 2 other shooters that you didn't notice

Simply don't use that bad staff.
Sometimes you have to look back and forth because 2 bruisers are spaced enough that you can't get them in your screen at once, but then you used all your dodges trying to dodge backwards
Dude 2 bruisers are the final boss for psyker
idc how braindead you guys say psyker is at all
2 bruisers will put you in the fuckin ground
trauma is more interesting to me cuz i only have to cast it once at periodic intervals to keep enemies stunned and then do other stuff to do damage
1 bruiser behind you every room or one stealth mauler?
^
it's the second one that kills you
bruisers are fine nowadays at least since they got nerfed from ~100 damage back to the usual ~60
Huh, maybe I've been feeling that
still, that's the reason why I'm so much of a proponent of maximising toughness regen on psyker
and also fire nerfs which have been of great assets to toughness propagandists
fuck extra toughness go with base 90
or 75 if you're based af
and don't use keystones
tbh I kinda feel like I care less about the total toughness amount
yeah having that 100% is important
more about the rate of regen and the amount of instances where you aren't regenerating
toughness matters to me cuz i like to hittrade and maximize dps instead of taking defensive measures
and being in stupid positions that increase the chance where i get hit
psyker
and also not paying attention to anything around me
I agree with that, but I prefer to focus the regen for that
I mean
I take toughness curios anyway
yeah i stack toughness curios + take the basket
and I take most of the freebie toughness talents on most builds
i run scrier's only for point economy reasons
just so that i can take 4 toughness nodees
So many people sleep on warp replenishment just because it's obviously weaker than quietitude
and it is - you should never take it if you haven't already taken quietitude
but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take it too
stacking toughness regen talents is legit af
wait which one is warp replenishment? Is that soulstealer?
Nope, the opposite one to quietitude
warp EXPENDITURE?
toughness bar go up https://streamable.com/9xmbhf
(ignore the pox gas in the background)
Remembering all the names for the generic stuff is hard lmao
this will be on the test
yeah psyker when they're in control has so much toughness regen
I mean peril-goes-up,-toughness-goes-up
But the moment you get caught unprepared?
It's joever
I tanked an entire horde + several ragers long enough to pick up dead allies
but 5 well placed shooters fucking shredded me
at least for ranged enemies it's a matter of spamming dodges at all times
scab shooters taking Ls after getting nerfed
since dodging now breaks their tracking
yee, but they can still catch you offguard and shatter your toughness
and then you're just stuck
like I honestly think the scattered shooters is one of psyker's biggest threats
unironically
i always run assail so they've not been a threat to me
What's the biggest threat for you?
myself
legitimately
either blowing up or willingly walking into obviously bad positions
i'm the type of person to park by bumper
i go into risky positions, die, and then don't do that the next time around
forethought does not exist in my dictionary
I run a similar cycle except for the "don't do that next time" part
even in the toughness regen videeo above, you see me just completely ignore a dreg shooter meleeing me until the second time when i finally notice
that is the level of perception that i have when playing this game
lmao
Here I am having to put most of my focus to play
But then again I play a stupid build
so
i always run meta degenerate builds that require minimal thinking
i am exactly the type of person that i criticize when i rant about nerfing meta weapons
Speaking from experience is still a perspective
yup
that's the basis that i use for my rants
because I know for fucking sure that certain weapons do not require any thought
See, even with braindead/thoughtless setups I still try to find some skill expression in it
Like picking up the knife with smite/surge
And surge cancelling
lmao
surge cancelling is fine for me since i have good keybinds and is just muscle memory
just knowledge-checks being a big part of the game
the game would really benefit from a better tutorial that lays out in explicit terms the mechanics
and a glossary
TRUE
overnight, the playerbase would just become better
The difference between a game like this and say Dark Souls which doesn't tell you anything
Is that there's effects that aren't straightforward
dark souls? Poison? Drains hp. Curse? halves hp
Darktide. Rending? ...Armor penetration...maybe? But Brittleness? Armor penetration too?
yep
(I know what they are just expmples)
and dark souls having the reputation of being a hardcore game
whereas a lot of people who say stupid shit in this game seem to have the expectation that they belong on the hardest difficulty even though they don't
And Fatshark having a record of never explaining the game mechanics to its player base bar the bare essentials

guh
Why explain anything while wierdge dedicated players will make Steam guides about it
And sometimes that information is false
Thereโs joy to competence, but at what cost 
weird people like josho
Some people are defined by it
Kinda goes for me too when it comes to games
If I'm not competent in a game I enjoy it frustrates me
But then again gaming is my primary hobby and being disabled means I do it for hours every day
So if I weren't decent it'd be nonsensical
Iโd say the Crusher guide is fairly average in that regard
People who can be like bronze in league for years are a different breed.
TRUE
yeah tbf that's just a weapons thing
But Josho at least seems to have some good game knowledge
The highest I've gotten was like Diamond 4

mobas are fucking hard dude
that's the only steam guide that i know besides royale's guide which is outdated
I played league on release, I don't even remember what I ended up at.
Never played it again after that.
I ended up playing until like season 8
Straight
Even taught a few people the game indepth
I was glad and sold arena rating in WoW, bout the closest I got to being "good" at a game
PvE don't count

Oh yeah, did anyone play the vermintide pvp? Was it any good?
That was online?
I dominated the multiplayer scene. To the point where people would leave the game or immediately join my team
Yeah it was
entirely different game
completely uncalled for
I became very very very well known in that scene lmao
That was my one claim to fame
I was there when the meta was being formed and I more or less shaped it from the foundations
be grateful that i thankfully informed you about an issue

If you aren't weird, how'd you read that message
Is being an issue?
im so sorry
in josho's case, yes
i have an interpreter

I played League at release, and after many leaves and returns I finally had stopped having fun in 2018. 9 years of somewhat evocative self-loathing 
League was a really important learning tool for me and my personality tbh
At release I.e., in October 2009
It highlighted core personality issues I didn't like
Took a while but it was my first big step into self awareness
shit like this is a curse, i can't get legit matches of a certain game mode in another game because i've been accused of cheating a bunch of times so people just leave when they see me in the lobby
I never looked at League from that perspective, but it undoubtedly has had some influence over how my gamer brain developed
RIGHT ITS THE WORST
I had to change my name to play
and the moment I played people figured it out because I played in such a particular way

Mhm! It brings your competitive nature and clashes it against working with other people as a team
It was a very good learning tool for me to temper my anger and focus my intention
try playing world of warships some time. the game says you have 11 teammates, but it's really you vs 23 morons
lmao
2011-2015 was peak
playing leona with a full page of armor runes was so fun
My brother still gets frustrated at losing in games like that and he just goes "How do you not get frustrated?"
And it's like. Yearrrrrs of work man
Dude watching the first league torunament is wild
man id go all in on levels 1 2 and 3 as a leona with like 34 armor while everyone was at 10 it was so cancer
interesting how anger management is a part of every discussion about league
When your expectations are not only not met but entirely crushed anger will rise
simply play aram no reason to get angry
aram is a good tool to learn how to teamfight
aram was fun before they ruined it ๐ญ
i had a 60% win rate in aram
unironically like 4k games
jesus
i got it down to a science
I've played less than 50
it's integral to comp play in literally every game. some of the most toxic people i ever met was when i played CS competitively back when CAL was still a thing
I was playing League around the time of the height of my depression and anxiety
the all same champ game mode was crazy fun
and stopping it was part of what started to make me feel better
I still get shakey on team based pvp games now
get off vent or i'll have you bent
Same. I take pride in my ability to play video games and I ended up conflating that to self worth, so I'd hate myself for not doing as well as I had envisioned
A lot of league players suffer from that exact thing
When you see it it's actually really depressing
Only game yes, but hundreds if not thousands of hours and you still haven't mastered it and because of the stiff competition related to your skill level you never feel like you're improving
yeah, i get it. i was CAL main back in the early CS days
