Anthropomorphic i guess

A lot of the humanoid monster champs are borderline

#

Rek’sai is like Riots definitive monster champ

lol

#

Yeah well if they stopped fucking her up balance wise I would enjoy her more

#

she feels miserable to play

arctic talon
#

She’s like

#

Less awful to play now imo

#

Then she was a while ago

#

She’s kind of pro jailed

rocky gale
#

Is it like Kalista where she's basically solely balanced for pro play because if they make her even slightly more powerful she dominates the competitive league

arctic talon
#

Spikes at a specific time

sacred bluff
arctic talon
#

And you need to take advantage of that

#

Before she falls off a cliff

#

Which isn’t really easy to do in a solo q environment

#

So you see her in pro way more often

#

Also she has a practically point and click knock up that’s easy as hell to hit

#

So

rocky gale
#

Kalista solo q is like basically just ff, half your kit revolves around having good sync with your support

languid meadow
#

I really wish Kayn wasn't considered Ionian in game because hearing Atakhan go "YOUR LANDS ARE SOAKED IN BLOOD IONIAN" Like Kayn did that HE is one of the people who did that but since he's in such a weird spot being a Noxian trained by Zed and also linked to Rhaast they just went with Ionian

arctic talon
#

Kayn is Noxian by birth Ionian culturally

#

Same reason samiara is Noxian

#

She’s shuriman by birth but Noxian culturally

languid meadow
#

still it just sucks it's so ridged with Atakhan

#

it would be cool if certain champs got more voicelines

#

I know Leblanc, Swain, Morde, Fiddle have ones

#

wait

#

Ashe has unique ones I guess

#

anyway im ranting

#

can we get another ascended pwease

rocky gale
#

Xolaani

well she's darkin now

The issue is not even her kit relying on Ur supp

Is the dash not being fixed

Trayzen is very much a guy how else would he be in gay relationship with orikan

remote wadi
#

I take one exhaust Ur done

No atk speed no dash

Cause her dash is movespeed reliant

Jokes aside I’m not going to go for Riko because the card falls off a fucking cliff apparently

Thats valid as long as you can stand being absolutely worthless for the months its meta

I do have a bunch of tickets saved up

I dont think I am either, but it's still fairly easy to win CM's with a little effort

So I’m going to burn those to see if I RNG

I just finished 3 starring every uma I have so I got like 800 of those things I dont know what to do with now

lament shoal
#

Lmao

full obsidian
#

Why don't ogryns have bolters?

outer wave
#

Because bolters are intricately made

#

And Ogryns have a tendency to use whatever is in their hands as a bludgenoning weapon

#

So simple, rugged designs are more suited for them

queen laurel
outer wave
#

Also true

queen laurel
#

Especially gonna be favored by something like a gun lugger

lament shoal
#

The thing is ogryns have a penchant for completely disregarding the concept of ammo conservation

#

So they mag dump every enemy in sight

#

Bolts are expensive and hard to make

#

Better off handing them an autocannon

queen laurel
#

If you can arm space marines billions of those every time you blink they aren't that expensive it seems

#

even some of the bigger variants are considered common weapons you strap onto the vehicles like heavy bolters

lament shoal
#

I would imagine there's more people in the guard than there are space marines

queen laurel
#

Sisters of battle

#

arbites

lament shoal
#

For high ranking officers yeah

#

Sisters and arbites are not in as high numbers as the guard

#

Everyone else gets some sort of las weapon or autogun

misty vector
#

doesnt the guard use heavy bolters a lot for emplacements though? i imagine that would count up

lament shoal
#

Lascannons are more common for that I think

queen laurel
arctic talon
queen laurel
lament shoal
#

If bolters and their ammo weren't as difficult and expensive to make then you'd have a substantial amount of grunts fielding them

queen laurel
#

it's a common weapon for a reason because it's a reliable one

arctic talon
#

The tabletop teginents get nicer heavy weapon emplacements

#

lol

#

So they’re not as indicative

#

But heavy stubbers, missile launchers and las cannons

#

Are all more common then a heavy bolter emplacement

lament shoal
arctic talon
#

Also auto cannon

misty vector
#

ahh makes sense

arctic talon
#

But yeah the not exceptional regiments in the imperium

#

Don’t get chimeras

#

lol

#

Explicitly

lament shoal
queen laurel
full obsidian
#

How do hot shot lasguns compare to bolters?

lament shoal
#

Bolters are used in the guard but they're reserved for sergeants and other high ranking officers

arctic talon
#

Which is some fun lore from 8e

arctic talon
#

If that makes sebse

lament shoal
arctic talon
#

A bolter fucking explodes like a small explosive

lament shoal
#

They're reserved for specific things or people in the guard

arctic talon
#

A hotshot lasgun pierces better then a normal lasgun and hits harder

#

But it doesn’t explode

#

Hotshot lasguns have a way better time with carapace and power armor is the big thing

lament shoal
queen laurel
# lament shoal That doesn't mean they're common. You don't see entire regiments using them as s...

they are literally everywhere in the imperium from from out there to everywhere

Multiple organizations use them even the in the guard

They are common enough that they are supplied to the guard regularly by the Departmento Munitorum

and again just because elite forces are less than the guard doesn't mean that the hundreds of space marine chapters multiple groups of mechanicus, untold numbers of the sisters using this thing, and the sisters of silence is that still uncommon with how many they are

#

they are a common sight in the imperium because they are reliable and and pack a punch

lament shoal
#

Not common enough to be used as a standard issue weapon for the guard, which is my point

#

There's many reasons why they have the grunts use lasguns instead

queen laurel
lament shoal
#

Compared to lasguns they are absolutely expensive to make

queen laurel
#

they are not trust me the imperium pumps those things on the daily like it's nothing

dapper gyro
#

Lore wise, the bolter is also heavy, bulky, and low ammo count. It is only picked if it is really needed.

lament shoal
#

The reason why factions like the sisters and space marines use them all the time is because the imperium knows the cost for supplying them with such weapons won't be wasted

arctic talon
#

Bolters are way more expensive and less numerous

dapper gyro
#

It is a specialized weapon for the guards.

lament shoal
#

Because they're skilled enough to use them

arctic talon
#

They’re only insanely common in necromunda because it’s necromunda

#

Necromunda’s black market system is not what the average person or the imperium has access to

#

They have fucking disintegration guns for sale lol

#

Now granted they’re not good ones

#

But it’s an actual genuine disintegration gun

lament shoal
#

Cancer guns too

#

They give both the enemy and the user cancer KEKW_ogryn

arctic talon
#

It gives the enemy tumors faster then it gives you tumors

#

A Van Saar moto

storm jungle
#

its basically entire for marketing

#

it just has reasonable lore excuses

arctic talon
#

Also yeah watsonian vs doyist

storm jungle
#

^

#

in another universe the imperium's main arms could literally just be always bolters

arctic talon
#

Explanation

storm jungle
#

and every guardsman just gets one

#

but here thats not how its written

#

so its w/e lol

queen laurel
# lament shoal Because they're skilled enough to use them

ogryns can use them with my original point

I agree imperial guard has less access to them but like they're not that uncommon the guard still has them and plenty of tanks, sure they don't have that much access to them because they prefer the more cheaper last gun but surely they could sacrifice 1 emplacement heavy bolter for a gunlugger

arctic talon
#

And yeah bolters are also expensive compared to lasguns in munda lol

#

Unless you’re orlock

lament shoal
#

I never said ogryns couldn't use em I was just saying its more likely for them to be given an autocannon or something similar instead

arctic talon
#

For some reason

#

Orlock gets near free bolters(?????)

#

I’m not complaining since it’s fun to punch down

storm jungle
#

to be fair

#

the most industrial gang

arctic talon
#

But orlock getting discounted bolters has always been weird to me

#

Okay fair

#

lol

storm jungle
#

also they prob got more cargo contacts

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Skim a few enforcer guns off the top

#

No one will notice until they do

arctic talon
queen laurel
#

Because they probably know how to skim a few things off the top

#

supplier knowledge you know

queen laurel
#

so may as well just give them a heavy bolter really you now have a mobile turret emplacement

winged jacinth
#

I imagine one of the biggest reasons ogryn arent issued bolters is that you can carry a relatively small amount of bolts compared to other ammos

daring creek
#

I think a bolter is great for home defense

winged jacinth
#

Space marines use all that training and targeting gear to get a lot of value out of each one

queen laurel
daring creek
#

I want to explode my enemies.

winged jacinth
#

I mean just compare like human bolter and infantry autogun ammo pools i dont think heavy bolters are suited to saturation fire

#

Better to give an ogryn something with a huge ROF and lots of ammo i think

#

A named ogryn sure

queen laurel
#

it's a common enough thing to give to them

winged jacinth
#

Huh

#

Multilaser too

queen laurel
#

they're gonna pick it up and unload its ammunition before you can even finish blinking

winged jacinth
#

Cannot start with the gun in the art lol

#

Oh multilasers are the sentinel and chimera guns ok

#

Ogryn magdump rumors must be greatly exaggerated

#

I like to imagine the multilaser takes regular lasgun mags but you need like 15 of them

queen laurel
# winged jacinth I like to imagine the multilaser takes regular lasgun mags but you need like 15 ...

"See this dent here? That was made by an Ork skull. By the Emperor, I'd swear some of them are as thick as a Chimera's tread guard, but that didn't stop Krund from splitting its head open like a new Grox egg, no sir. And see that warping there, by the shell extractor? Apparently that’s what happens when you fire 5,000 continuous rounds without a recharge."

    — Guardsman Leisse explaining the poor state of an Ogryn Specialist's firearm to the Regimental Quartermaster

this is a quote for a reason

#

ogryns are simple and genuinely love the sound of gun shooting

celest dome
queen laurel
#

like it's common enough that Gunluggers are armed with it is my point

celest dome
#

Bolt training kind of is a trap tbh

#

Las training is better

#

Or Ripper thingy

daring creek
queen laurel
#

If they are you using ripper guns They get shotgun shells

#

If they are using heavy bolters They get bolt ammo

daring creek
#

they both ammo?

queen laurel
daring creek
#

I'm more confused on "they both ammo"

queen laurel
daring creek
#

ah

queen laurel
#

Missus I know you're slow but come on now

daring creek
#

Aw thats very rude

queen laurel
daring creek
#

Ah I see

#

I just thought it'd make more sense to leave them with mainly automatric shotgun types of weapons due to how poor their aim is

near wasp
#

Keep things simple with ogryns

#

Because if there's space for a dumb mistake it will be made

daring creek
#

Murphys Law yeah lmao

misty vector
queen laurel
#

That's why they use heavy bolters auto cannons and multi lasers and even heavy stubbers

How the fuck do gamers even get like this

#

(also ive been playing the game its peak)

surreal nest
#

Its so good

#

Its peak telltale

#

I hate how much I love the stupid dispatching minigame ngl

#

seeing those stat bars get filled DAMN IT

surreal nest
#

Aaron Paul cant fail

storm jungle
#

I love how he uses his normal voice a lot more its great

#

you can barely tell its even him

surreal nest
#

I knew it was gonna be peak when I heard him play Powerplex

storm jungle
#

Lmfao same

#

also this is the best kind of superhero genre i love

#

its like Venture Bros with a sparkling of Invincible

#

(aka they act like actual people and not MCU cardboards)

surreal nest
#

Idk if you've played This is the Police but its pretty much just the dispatching mini game

#

Its pretty good

storm jungle
#

yeah I have, its what made me love the mini-game in these, they really put a lot of attention to make it fun

#

i wanna smash my keyboard when they fail a skillcheck

#

(that means you did a good job making me feel stuff KEK )

surreal nest
#

How do I spoiler text i must

#

||fart||

#

Ok cool

#

E3 was so fucking crazy and awesome ||how they kept fucking each other over and you just couldnt complete a mission||

storm jungle
#

LMFAO YEAH

#

That happens in EP2

#

Robert is like

#

"Yall do realise sabotaging each other wont get you ahead in the leaderboard right? Fucking idiots."

#

I wheezed

surreal nest
#

Ohhh right right E3 was the pep talk

storm jungle
#

yeah they mixed some stuff up i think

vagrant fox

wow spoilers

That shit was so funny it genuinely had me hands on my head

storm jungle
#

sorry

#

I love spoilers

storm jungle

they are such fuckwads

I love and hate the weekly episode format because it makes my weeks worth waiting for but I want it all

lament shoal

#

Wish it was longer though

storm jungle
#

yet its somewhow worse

#

bcause AARGH THESE CLIFFHANGERS

storm jungle
surreal nest
#

Thank god they moved on from the classic telltale art style 😭

storm jungle
#

Hey that style was good

surreal nest
#

It was good for like

#

Walking dead

#

Maybe wolf

#

That shit was grotesque in guardians of the galaxy

storm jungle
#

Wolf was like extremely stylized yeah

#

which was good

storm jungle
#

it very much needs to have a comic book style

#

which is why it works, Tales from Borderlands for example was ingenius, straight out the games

surreal nest
#

Yeah that one was gorgeous

#

Im gonna have to replay tales

#

Dispatch's art style is just so expressive in everything

storm jungle
#

Tales is probably Telltales magnum opus

#

fuck Walking Wank

storm jungle
#

you can really tell like

#

they hav ebeen working on it for awhile

#

instead of the short ass monthly deadlines

surreal nest
storm jungle
#

Wolf is great as its own thing, its like a little mcdonalds meal

#

short but perfectly tasty

#

also ironically the 1 Season format helps it a lot

#

Tales is like its own WAY huge beast

#

especially since all its seasons are great

surreal nest
#

Was the sequel as bad as everybody is saying?

#

I feel like most of the criticism is anti woke chuds

valid needle
storm jungle
#

a case of "bad game but people latch onto the entirely wrong reasons for it"

#

its like how Veilguard isnt bad either, but people say "it sucks because woke characters" when its just cringe writing lol

#

if it was male characters doing this nobody would say a thing

surreal nest
#

TRUTH

storm jungle
surreal nest
#

God I so wish concord was a dudebro game that failed

storm jungle
#

SAME.

surreal nest
#

Except all the dudebros games that fail nobody knows about because nobody wants to fund racists 💀

storm jungle
#

diversity is fine as long as you dont do it in a shit manner, its why I love the way all Warhammer IPs since 2018 have been doing it

#

which is literally like just

#

sometimes make a female standalone character mini

#

unisex upgrade kits

#

thats it lol

#

and everyone is happy

surreal nest
#

I feel like those games that are obscenely terrible and very diverse are like astroturfing campaigns I swear

storm jungle
#

it is tbh

#

when a game fails and has no queer elements nobody says anything

#

when it does though OOF prepare for chudfall

surreal nest
#

Chudfall is crazy

valid needle
#

Skibidi Chud Rizzle

storm jungle
#

lmfao

surreal nest
#

Surprisingly I havent really seen Dispatch accused of woke yet. But I imagine grifters just see Aaron Paul playing a white man and go "oh ok"

#

They're going to be pissed when they actually open the game i swear

#

Anyways, dispatch 10/10 genuinely

storm jungle
#

yeah even if the story sucks later idgaf the minigames are great

storm jungle
#

at least thats my impression

surreal nest
#

It looked too right up my alley

storm jungle
#

DUDE SAME lmao

surreal nest
storm jungle
#

its prob only great because like i said they had a lot of time to cook it

#

like its the classic railroad/linear telltale experience but as long as the journey is fun idgaf really tbh

surreal nest
#

Telltale's number one issue is deadlines for sure

storm jungle
#

yeah its what fucked em in the end

#

that and just taking so many IPs

surreal nest
#

Don't they have a fucking batman series

storm jungle
#

yeah

#

that one was ironically also great???

#

which was shocking to me

#

also very gay, as it should be

Necrons another good option I was looking into recently

No space marines though

Maybe might do Imperial Guard again. Good ol Cadia, not sure yet..

But Agents of the Imperium seems like a good option if I get back into it again on a serious level. For Imperium stuffs.

For xeno I might do Necrons and Dark Eldar

Also, fun fact, but in Germany recently, they did an military exercise in towns and stuff, but forgot to call the cops to tell about it, so one of the soldiers actually ended up getting shot.

rose thorn
#

ah fiar

wind hornet
#

Yeah but I'm saying there is a reason some one would logically choose to summon cthulu because there is some potential self benefit for doing so. GSC seems like you just get duped. Maybe you really hate the empire but there's limits on that when what your setting out to do also means you die as well.

arctic talon
#

And some cults don’t die

#

Due to being mobile or deciding to not summon the star gods

#

And spread the cult further

rose thorn
#

according to recent polls, slavery is worse than freedom

wind hornet
#

yeah but like why would I choose GSC over being just a criminal if I care about freedom

storm jungle
#

Also at the end of the day

#

its better to die standing than on your knees

#

the Imperium offers its citizens literally nothing

#

their entire existence is torture and a slow death

#

ıts why almost EVERY imperial world has a GSC cult of some degree, their society is so awful that it propagates these things

#

the 9th GSC codex says as much in a special side textbox as to why humanity is perfect as a vector for infection due to these factors

lament shoal
#

You get infected and its pretty much over for you from there

rose thorn
#

those who arent blessed by the star children are usually unaware that their rebellion is a cult

wind hornet
storm jungle
#

I feel like thats a really reverse logic.

#

you should read up on their new codexes and decide from there

#

you shouldnt be able to think much about a faction until actually knowing how they function/work like imo, which is what the lore sections in codexes are for.

#

Ive met many people say this about many xenos/imperial factions saying "I dont really get why people would like them" until I made them read the material.

That doesn't apply here. They're like the imperium in the sense that they're both fanatics who serve systems of unfathomable evil. That alone makes them evil. Space marines don't think they're evil despite what they're doing. Genestealer cultists share this same mindset. You think a cultist wouldn't purge thousands of innocents if they felt it was necessary to carry out the plans of their tyranid masters?

#

There are no good guys in 40k. This slogan applies to every single faction in the setting.

rose thorn
#

Yeah the difference is the Genestealer cults don’t know lmao that’s the point and appeal, they are doing good things like liberating people and killing facists and freeing planets unaware they are bringing doom

lament shoal
#

Again, you can apply the logic of "they don't know what they're truly doing" to imperials too. Imperials undergo plenty of brainwashing too

#

Doesn't make them any less evil

rose thorn
#

Imperials don’t have a choice lmao, they aid a facist regime because a; there is no other option, and b; they are fearful of the consequences of rebelling

lament shoal
#

Cultists don't have a choice either

rose thorn
#

Cults form as consequence of the horrible treatment they experience under the imperium

#

That’s why they do so well

#

In the imperium

lament shoal
#

I'm aware

rose thorn
#

Genestealer cults are tool for an evil entity I agree with that, that’s the joke of the faction

#

The cultists are literally doing good

#

And improving their communities

#

Unaware they are tools and the consequences of their existence

#

That’s the meme

#

Hive cult is unironically evil

#

Cult of the 4 armed emperor actually does good

#

Tahts the joke

#

They are doing good

#

And their good leaves them vulnerable to the apocalypse lmao

lament shoal
#

And they kidnap people for either horrible experimentation or to make more cultists through SA

#

Pretty much every cult has a biophagus for that first one

rose thorn
#

That’s twisted gene

#

And not all biophagus do that

#

It’s literlaly cult dependent

lament shoal
#

Being a mere tool doesn't exempt you from being evil

rose thorn
#

Doing good without knowing that your existence will kill everyone doenst mean you are evil

#

Hang on we need a other person to dictate this

#

This is gonna be a circular argument

lament shoal
#

You can still say that about imperials. Yes there are lots who simply obey the imperium out of fear of punishment, but I guarantee you there's just as many of them who are blissfully unaware of the evil they're doing and mistake it for genuine good

rose thorn

lament shoal
arctic talon
#

Okay so

arctic talon
#

Genestealer cults literally are not always doing good

#

they sometimes do, and often do improve general quality of life

#

but fundamentally there is the whole "kiss" thing

#

thats involved

#

Like, you can help give out free medical supplies, or help rebuild parts of a shanty town

#

thats a good thing

#

but you also drag people off to go see an avatar of their God

rose thorn
#

Lmao

arctic talon
#

and then have them get "kissed"

#

lol

rose thorn
#

Fair true

lament shoal
#

Also said kiss literally kills the person's individuality and puts them in a hivemind

rose thorn
#

That’s vague and we don’t really know

#

Cultists show a lot of individuality

#

But are also hyper devoted and can be overridden

#

My argument is gsc aren’t inherently evil jsut because they bring the nids to the planet

arctic talon
#

it just brainwashes you

#

in a manner where you worship the stargods and such

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

You still are the same you

#

#

Welp what is art but to try again

Instead I’ll come up with a name first

#

Shit I have the perfect idea

I must write

ignore the fact it has 6 limbs

rose thorn
#

OOOOO

#

Tahts sick af

arctic talon
#

big spider

rose thorn
#

Okay I wrote half sleep slop I can sleep and worm on second draft later. It’s just a rewrite of my second idea for a cult that worshipped a space leviathan the imperium then obliterated during the Great Crusader

#

First they were humans that worshipped a space leviathan, then imperium killed it, then they still secretly worshipped it, then they found a Genestealer and believed it was the spirit of their leviathan god

#

As they made pilgrimages to the leviathan’s corpse

#

And somehow there was a Genestealer there during their most important holiday

#

The people, who were previously devote pacifists, now must wage the final war against the imperium in order for the space leviathans to return to the galaxy and protect it

#

The people did also use to make human sacrifices to the space leviathan

#

For that extra flavor

#

Now I shall sleep

I’ve never said the imperium are the good guys I’ve always said I’m a evil imperium enjoyer but the truth of the matter is if the imperium stops and ceases to exist, chaos and the tyranids consume and slaughter everyone, human and xeno alike.
