  1. I definitely agree in regards to Talon. I know a lot of people were worried about his kit forcing him into a bruiser position via Ekko syndrome (performs better tanky because of passive and outperforms the intended role), but his Sin playstyle is absolutely fantastic. It's a little busted as it is, but I can't see the balancing team managing to curb his current power without gutting him. Perhaps some cooldown tweaking.

    My first Sin after the patch was Kha'Zix as I've been wanting to see my favourite bug have a spotlight of his own. I have to say, I am impressed with his new kit. To be frank, I think it's fair to say he needs a nerf. The isolated Q damage is absolutely ridiculous with the reduced cooldown and increased ratios, capable of winning post6 trades he normally lost before the update (namely Lee).

    I've played about 12 games with the new Kha and I've been testing the optimal evolution order for an average game. Evolving Q first has provided the most success. The biggest choice is between evolving E or new R at 11. Normally, you'd take E at 11 because of the increased range and resets, but taking R at 11 has actually made the middle game rather interesting. Kha's R uses Invisibility, not Stealth. This means that during his invis, he is not able to be seen by wards and control wards. Alongside Sweeper, control wards of your own, and Duskblade's new passive, the vision control he has is pretty insane. You can stalk through all four jungle quadrants much safer than even Evelynn I'd say and gain the ability to lock down Drag/Baron vision sometimes totally unchallenged (Not to mention evo Q shreds Baron and Drag like a Rengar on Twitch). In addition to this, the dueling is pretty damn nice. When Kha is not visible to the enemy team, he gains a damage buff through Unseen Threat. Using both procs of R, alongside a brush through the.. brush, you can reset your passive give or take three times (and also proc Greenfather's Gift w/ Fresh Blood) for additional damage. Invading the opposing Jungle mid game when they are at a buff has normally given me a free kill, vision control, and a handy Red buff.

    I'd also like to point out that the channel time for Edge Of Night is 1.5 seconds. Kha's Invis lasts 1.5 seconds. Getting the drop on somebody while already having EoN up is pretty handy as 80% of the time, they panic CC (Tibbers) or just flash. Overall, I have had the most success with Q > R > E evolution despite evolving E asap (normally after Q) appearing to be the most practical choice. Evo R sort of loses its offensive power later in the game so taking it at 16 is just as much a trade off middle game as losing E resets.

    This all being said, I am in no way a Kha main or largely knowledgeable on him. These are just my impressions for the most part. The elo I play in is high Gold low Plat, so take everything said with a grain of salt.


    -Oh, and yeah. Courage of the Colossus is straight up broken. Nautilus is a monster.

  2. Mizu is a wonderful monster. The gear you get from crafting its parts both looks amazing and has a fantastically unique skill. When normally fighting Mizu, if hit by the bubbles, you get a bonus in movement speed as well as Evade +1, but getting hit a second time basically buts you in a vulnerable status where you cannot attack and movements become slippery and you're basically doomed. The armour gives you the first part (faster movement speed and Evade +1) and procs during dodge rolls. It's really great for Blademasters!

  3. Compared to MH4U, MHX's level of difficulty is largely varied and dependent. MH4U can be considered stagnant in difficulty (for the most part), consisting of a very leveled out playthrough, with moderate spikes at Urgents which raise the cap of difficulty.

    MHX, however, really changes depending on your weapon + Style. From personal experience, some forms of play can make the game really easy, really hard, or just manageable. I'm not sure if you know about the Hunter Styles, but it goes like this.

    Aerial: Jump off of monsters, bombs, other players, or even cats to get launched into the air for an attack. This shit is straight busted on some weaps like GS. You'll easily get around 4 mounts per hunt. For most weapons, Aerial makes the game trivial in the hunting aspect. I personally main SA and have found Aerial SA to be godlike. Aerial LBG and gunners in general seem to find this a little harder to master.

    Bushido (localized as Adept): Time a dodge roll perfectly to get an extended dodge plus full I-frames + enter a sprint which leads into an attack. This one is hit and miss, but really good with gunners as it auto-reloads/charges with a higher power shot. I've heard it conditions (more than other styles) you to rely on its power as a dodge and switching will sometimes make you whiff a roll. Bushido SA is sorta eh while CB is fantastic. Hit and miss.

    Guild: Basically normal MH weapon with two Hunter Arts. Not much to say but certain players prefer this. Other Styles cost you the ability to use some normal X or A moves, but Guild keeps them all. Guild SA, for example, is busted (but SA is the master race weapon so this is understandable).

    Striker: Have 3 Arts and they all charge faster. Really amazing on weapons like Lance and SA and LS who are blessed with absolutely incredible Arts. Some cats even have horns that will charge your Arts even faster. It gets pretty insane. Some weaps like GL and Bow don't have more than one or two useful Arts so Striker is kind of sub par here.

    So basically the tl;dr is that MHX varies in difficulty depending on your Weapon and what Style you pair it with because certain combos make life easy or a challenge.

  5. Hi, I posted a status about this but I thought I'd post in the topic as well.

    Is the server still alive/active? I'm currently online and nobody seems to be on atm, so I was wondering if this is the norm or if it's just a period of down time throughout the day. If it IS still active, great! if it isn't, well damn. I'd love for this server to be active and wouldn't mind putting in time and work for it.

    Also, I understand there was a lot of server lag and I would also like to say I just now got rid of a rather large Apricorn farm that might have been contributing to that and I do myself feel a difference. Feels smoother to play. (It was my farm and I wasn't aware until recently they caused lag, sorry sorry!).

  6. Apparently, according to a few red post comments, the next Champion (this one, namely) will be a "traditional caster mage" type. Looking at Sol, he isn't anywhere near a "traditional caster mage" such as Annie or Veigar for example.

    "As far as mages go we're with you though that, depending on what type of mage you like, it may have been a very long time since a new mage came out that fit your playstyle too (traditional caster types, rather than hybrids like Azir). We concluded getting a true caster mage into the lineup for 2016 was important as a result, and have one under development at the moment. Not appropriate to say anything about timeframe besides 'definitely this year' yet, working actively on filling the need for such a champ though."
    He continued:
    "Yeah, a mage this year's no big surprise. Thing I wanted to clarify was the type of mage - a more traditional take on the class, rather than something that's a mage/something else hybrid like Azir."
    When asked about a time frame for the mage class changes discussed in the past, Meddler noted:
    "If you're concerned about mage changes coming out close to the Worlds patch then no, these changes will be June ish, so substantially earlier."

    I mean, it's already been confirmed she is a mage, so this red post is very applicable to Taliyah.

    *Fervent inhale* Breathe in the atmosphere..

    That Nunu brought Stormraiders on accident. It really didn't work. That LB? Had a grand KDR of 2-10 between Zed and Shyvana at 22 minutes. Also at 25 minutes, they had taken 6 towers. 6. We had taken two. Bot and Top outters. Darius had gone even in lane by the time late game started, Nunu had gotten caught out and killed costing towers a multitude of times. We tried to ff twice but to no avail. But then, with a series of amazing cheesed Braum ults and Jhin trap/W root catches, we forced favourable teamfight after favourable teamfight and turned that sheet around. Sweet Gilgamesh I love this game sometimes. Easily a clutch game that was turned around. No throws, just in the end, an outplay by the whole team.

  8. I look for something new. Specifically music. I have a small track of music that fills me with emotion and I use that to promote my passion for writing. However, eventually, the feelings given by those songs become exhausted and less effective. Then, I look across various means of listening to music (99% is YouTube) until I find new music that fills me with any form of inspiration. I gather a new list of songs and use those to fuel my work. And after doing this a few times, the old music I listened to so long ago sounds new and fresh after coming back to it after so long. It's a growing cycle but I never seem to run out of new additions to my playlist.

  9. Edit: Tfw phone messes up and wrong quote.

    Aside from some lag (that is more or less due to my computer being... my computer), only one issue so far.

    Lost the first three slots of my party (Flygon, Zorua, Venusaur) randomly on login. Will edit to remove if this resolves itself on relog, but I'm pretty certain that's not how it works.

    Pretty sure that's exactly how it works.

    No clue what caused it, since they were there when I was on... maybe an hour prior? Other than that, it's a good server thus far.

    Cobalt,

    This is an issue that has arisen quite a few times among various players including myself. From what I've seen, closing Minecraft as well as (if you are using it) the Pixelmon launcher and restarting it seems to work effectively. Otherwise, spamming relog has worked. Somebody else said something about swapping the missing Pokemon with PC boxed mons, closing the PC, and opening it again gets them to appear as well. Hopefully this issue doesn't bother us much but it doesn't seem to happen TOO often.

    Otherwise, I hope you're enjoying the server! If you care to, later today (unsure specifically. Whenever people are on) we'll be working on building a town at the spawn area. Your help would be appreciated!

  10. 'Sup, man? You seem to be a man of extensive detail. I can respect that. Anyways, welcome to Pokemon Reborn. I hope to see you around and pray you enjoy your time here as you are slowly dragged into its madness!

    You can find the community rules on the left and the door out on the right but don't bother. It's locked.

  12. Kingdom Hearts is definitely my favourite series no contest. I got my first game when I around 11 and fell in love instantly.

    How I found it: My first game was Chain of Memories since at the time we couldn't afford a full PS2 game. I knew I wanted a KH game because I saw one of my friends playing it and the mystery of it all was entrancing, especially since I was so into fantasy when I was little. It was a lot of fun but I was utterly confused as to what was going on but I think the promise of a story to experience in both the future and past just made me that much more into it.

    Favourite game: BBS. So facking good. Stories, fights, music, characters, everything. Aqua is the best Keyblader imo easy. However, I also can't say I love it over 358/2 days. That game was just an emotional rollercoaster. It still hurts my heart to hear Vector to the Heavens and Xion's theme.

    Favourite character: Massive tie between Axel and Roxas. I can't decide. However, I am keenly against Akuroku. Roxas x Xion OTP.

    Favourite fight: Sweet lord on a biscuit I can't even begin to decide. All of the KH2FM Data battles are godlike and I have so much fun playing them. Hnnnrrgg... If I had to choose, I'd say the Roxas Data battle and if not, Lingering Will v.s Terranort. Just.. When Lingering Will stands up and Rage Awakened begins to play, I can't even begin to describe the feeling it brings me.

  13. All in all, I prefer Subs as conventionally they don't sound as awkward on emotional speeches or sudden exclamations, so on and so on. I'm not sure if this is because JP VAs find it easier to embrace a character and in turn feel less awkward with these lines that match their culture and expectations more comfortably or if I'm just so used to how an English voice is supposed to sound and I know when it sounds off. I started anime with dubbed Bleach/One Piece and thought it was amazing. Went to Sub and hated it, grew used to it and now I love it and I hate nearly all Dub except a spare few like Fate/ Zero and Gundam 00.

  14. Like a baws

    I don't copy "x" pro simply to copy them in hopes of emulating their success. Pros do generally have a higher understanding of what works and this is the mold many players base themselves off of to improve themselves but many of them do not fully understand why they make these changes specifically. It's okay to copy the pros but only if you know -why- you're doing it.

    Anyways, I've decided that Warrior/Hextech into tank is going to be what I consider the more consistent build considering Runeglaive doesn't burst AOE on champions anymore however it does definitely increase clear speed. Warrior/Hextech just seems to increase dueling potential overall.

  15. Lately I've been playing a lot of Evelynn and I saw Rush use her during the split but he went for a Runeglaive full AP into tank and he had solid success. However, I've been playing a Warrior into Hextech into tank build with a 8/10 win ratio. So I'd like some advice as to what might be the -most- optimal Evelynn build as I do understand she can build across the spectrum depending on team composition. But what would you say has the most potential overall?

  16. As a Jungler main, I would say I hate Nunu.

    ..But I play Shaco sometimes so I can't really complain. I'm loving the Shyv VU but most of all with this new patch, the Aatrox Sated Devourer. His W procs every two hits instead of three and it's so so powerful. Aatrox Jungle is definitely my favourite role atm.
