As someone who mostly plays Arena, Ama feels very strong to me. Her teamfighting is insane and her mobility even more insane. You do insane damages with your 2 at max charge (although it takes a couple levels) and your ult lets you stun entire teams if you use it properly. Certain escapes will let them get away, but thanks to how far you can move with your ulti up you can actually catch most gods even if they use their escape (assuming you have your 1 on speed and not damage). Just remember that you have to hit at least one god with each strike to get the stun on the third one. Also the regen on her 1 is P crazy, a lot of people forget about it but it's easily spammable and gives a whole lot of HP/S. Her dash can feel a little awkward since it's slightly delayed, but I don't find it to be too big of an issue

Very well, let me rephrase it slightly I have yet to hear an AAVE speaker who has an accent that I enjoy alongside music and thus choose to not spend my time listening to each and every hip-hop artist in case one just might happen to have an accent I like In other words I, "write off the genre" because I don't not like the accents of the artists EDIT: Alright, I will concede that people disliking hip-hop because they feel the lyrics glorify sex and drugs may be unfounded in their thinking (actually, NL has talked about that in several Bind of Isaac episodes). But there are also people who just dislike the discussion of the topic at all entering into their entertainment and it feels like you're trying to say it's wrong for those people to dislike the musical pieces which do -
I mean, I don't like white rappers either, but that's a different discussion. This discussion is very clearly written in terms of African American, AAVE-speaking artists Part of the foundation of the discussion is the usage of AAVE in hip-hop. And I don't like the accent that accompanies the dialect when it's put to music. If you can point me to a black hip-hop artist who speaks AAVE but has a southern accent, a German accent, or even better an Australian accent I'll gladly give them a listen, and may even enjoy their work. I actually quite like the music of hip-hop, but it feels wrong to me to listen to instrumentals of songs that began with vocals as that's taking away a part of the artwork, thus I do not listen to hip-hop I also already stated that I don't find it unintelligible, and definitely don't find it unintelligent. Hip-hop is by far one of the deepest forms of musical art about, I never disputed that And again, I personally have no issue with the "mainstream" hip-hop being about sex and drugs (FTW is about drugs and rape and I still love it in spite of, nay, even because of, the lyrics), but I do think people should be allowed to dislike the parts of hip-hop that are about this. I understand that part of the point of the thread is that hip-hop isn't entirely about these concepts and not to pass off the entire genre because of them, but it feels like when saying not to pass off the genre because of distasteful lyrics in some songs it's often also stated that disliking songs with distasteful lyrics somehow makes you a less competent or worthy listener

The truth
-
Thing is, when it comes to art, whether or not you like something is half of the point. Art is expression, but art is also entertainment. As an expression, even the most "objectively bad" things are a positive, because expressing oneself is never bad. But as entertainment, what matters is what the one looking to be entertained finds enjoyable I see nothing to examine. I spoke what I believed to be the truth and find no issue with it I don't think that the parts of hip-hop that focus on things that people find distasteful should be above being criticized for that focus. I won't criticize them for it, I mean, this is one of my favorite songs. But that doesn't mean that people shouldn't be allowed that criticism I don't like the way an AAVE accent sounds when put into musical form, if that's anti-black then fine, I'll be anti-black. It doesn't change the fact that I don't enjoy it. And I don't feel like changing how I feel about the singing just because someone tells me it's part of a negative social bias. I would rather be racist than lie to myself And I do largely understand AAVE because my cousins (well, technically mother's cousins and their kids) on my mother's father's side speak it and I've spent a lot of time with them over the past few years. I have no trouble understanding my schoolmates (my school is about 60% inner-city black kids)

K, so, I read all that and it was pretty interesting, but there's one thing that bugs me a lot before I get to an overall response This entire thread is about how hip-hop is art, right? Well, in art, there's no such thing as something being objectively good and the fact that you chose this wording just doesn't feel right NEways, as with any musical art form, I don't think hip-hop should be above lyrical criticism. You're right when you say that not all hip-hop is about crime and drugs, but when it is, people do have a right to criticize that it is. Personally, I more dislike how the lyrics are sung than what the lyrics actually are. I find the African American ghetto accent to be very displeasing when put in musical form. That doesn't mean I hate the people with that accent or even the accent itself, I just don't enjoy it as music I don't really have much issue understanding it, at least no more than I do any other type of music, thanks to hanging around my cousins a good bit these past few years. If you'd asked me four years ago I would have thought most hip-hop was gibberish, but I've gotten to see my cousins a lot more lately so it's become much more understandable now

GODDAMMIT WOMAN JUST DIE ALREADY SO HE CAN GET SOME ACTUAL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
-
Ohey, I just realized, I can write about Sharp now Sharp is another character from ANKL. He's a trans guy living in a world where men are literally treated worse than dirt. It's terrifying enough to feel as though your sex and gender are misaligned, it's even more terrifying when coming out means becoming the trash. And yet Sharp manages to remain true to himself. Sure he's not the most confident person, but who would be when your very existence is a threat to your livelihood? He's been given everything, and yet he would give it up if only to be a little closer to being himself. In a world that forces you to conform or suffer, he still chooses to swim against the current. I'm proud of him not only because he's a good character, but because he's a brave person

It frustrates me that so many people only take depression seriously when suicide becomes involved

Depression dismantles emotions to the point where it's not even being sad, it's just being empty. I think seeing someone depressed is quite easy... They (generally, please don't take offense) search for a group to fit into to feel acceptance from others, and generally seem more absent in conversation in my opinion. In my long state of being in such a position, I actually chose to recluse, and this points out a major fact. I never cut, attempted any self harm outside of verbally do...

I never could bring myself to self harm. I may sound like the dirtiest masochist around for this, but I actually liked experiencing anger. Especially when it was caused by others, It felt like a rush outside normal depression, and I realized that it wasn't my fault I felt that way, but how other's affected me. For years anger was almost like a driving force, an adrenaline rush that I liked.
