@StrixVaria Hey, I've got a question about Evelynn.

@Scootaloo I'll try to answer, but I haven't played her too much.

@Strix I tried to play her top lane, and as I was partially expecting I got curb stomped by everyone. Later I tried her as jungle, and failed terribly again. I'm really trying not to give up on her, but it's really hard not to atm.

@Scootaloo You're not going to be good with every champion you try.

I can't play ADC to save my life.

I can't give you particular tips on using her well, because I can't use her well either.

Well the biggest problem is they burn through her health so damn fast. Even with her stealth it is still a pain in the butt.

You can harass a lot with her spikes. Just don't overcommit and play safe until you get a feel for what kind of punishment she can take.

That's just it though, about two attacks from Cait will get me down to critical health. Really any ranged champion can easily own her.

You shouldn't be against ranged in top, normally.

And in a gank situation from jungle you should outnumber your opponents.

So you can bring one down fast.

I regret buying her even with just IP.

Even Ahri would make a better jungle champ.

I made a ton of bad purchases.

Urgot...

Who are you best top with? out of my champions I'd say I've gotten the best K/D with Teemo.

Mainly because he is cheap as hell.

What if Sci Fi Tech were real

My best tops are Malphite and Nasus.

Aren't those both considered tanky?

Tops are supposed to be tanky.

Teemo isn't tanky, but he is godly top.

Oh, Singed is another top I like a lot.

I mean, you can technically play any champion anywhere, so long as they do well.

Teemo is good top because he's annoying against normal top picks.

In bot games, I like playing Vayne top.

Well would you say Teemo is tanky in the slightest?

Tops don't have to be tanky; they just usually are.

It's a good thing Mun doesn't have atmosphere; I've been skimming 5 km above it's surface.

@GnomeSlice Isn't that basically the premise of much Sci Fi?

I mean honestly his stealth really helps against anyone, because unless a projectile hits you the enemy can't really target you, right?

@BenBrocka Yeah, but I couldn't think of a better headline.

Check it out though, it's pretty amazing.

unless they've got truesight or however it's spelled

@GnomeSlice "Cool SciFi Paintings"

@OrigamiRobot It's not really a sci fi setting though

@Strix despite all the negative feedback Teemo get's I find that he is a great champion. He's got unlimited wards, decent speed (with ability anyway), and let's not forget his passive.

Sci Fi Suburbia I guess

@GnomeSlice ... yes it is. Also, what does that have to do with anything?

@Strix oh ya, and thanks for reopening my question up

@OrigamiRobot No it isn't.

"Post Reopened by Jason Berkan, StrixVaria, Ullallulloo, Decency, alexanderpas"

What are you even talking about?

Me? LoL

@Scootaloo Everyone likes different styles. Teemo's passive means he's not actively doing anything which means you're not actually contributing, which is bad. The wards have very low sight radius and are generally more annoying for your opponents than anything else. His range is small and he's squishy in combat. He has just as many downsides as upsides.

@Gnome You're like the imgur version of Lazers

He just probably fits your playstyle well, so you should use him.

The moral of the story is, use whoever you like.

@Scootaloo No, @GnomeSlice

The point of a game is to have fun.

@BenBrocka :/

@StrixVaria Granted, but if I get chased into a bush and have time to stealth. They'll just move off, and I can recall or do whatever I need to do. I do have fun as Teemo, but I also don't understand why's he's usually instabaned in drfat pick.

@BenBrocka Sheesh, I liked the OUYA at first, but not really happy with them any more.

@Scootaloo Champions that are annoying to play against tend to get banned.

@BenBrocka Hm, that's curious, indeed.

@StrixVaria I've never seen him as very annoying or hard to counter. He's a talking hamster.

*yordle

The blind is really annoying.

And the poison.

I don't see Fiddle or Singed getting instabanned much.

Teemo is especially hated. That's just part of the culture, I think.

There's a Twitch.tv stream dedicated to cams of Teemo dying in live matches.

@StrixVaria Isn't that just showing how butt hurt people are of a bloody game character?

Apparently Valve's "routine maintenance" that affects "Steam chat, game lobbies, matchmaking, and community web features" also affects the VAC ban systems.

It was made by a Riot employee.

@StrixVaria It's probably a joke.

Your revolver shakes in your hand. You've got one grapple cartridge left and a firework - but he's got the drop on you. Your fedora has three new holes, and Franky's cowering beside you.

The little rat's info was good, though. She's lead you straight to the pigeon's nest in the cannery, and once you take him down, he'll sing like a canary. Take a quick peek around the corner, and there it is - he's standing on an oil slick. What a maroon.

You chamber the grappler and the firework. A quick shot at the ceiling, and you're zipping up a line. He shoots, but misses. Pigeons are terrible shots,…

@Scootaloo It's obviously a joke.

It's all for fun.

On the other hand one of their funders is JUSTIIIIIIIIIN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNN oh wait wrong Justin

@BenBrocka Two of them, in fact.

@StrixVaria You're aware that there are people who get peeved off just by the sight of him right? I'm sure you already are.

@Scootaloo That's just silly

@GnomeSlice Usually they end up chasing me, and overextending then die. It actually helps out.

@StrixVaria Anyway thanks for the help. Cya.

> You don't think this looks weird? The pledges who wanted to recieve rewards on the site only amount to ~$6000-$8000 (very quick math). There is around $70000 which is not accounted for.

@BenBrocka Yeah, that sounds suspicious.

Keeping track of current victory points in Dominion is stupid.

It's pretty much public information but it's not, as far as I can tell. You just have to remember.

@StrixVaria Yes, you have to keep track of what other people buy.

Which is easier in the physical game.

@Powerlord IMO that's not very well-designed. The victory points are public information (i.e. you know how many they start with, and you see every time they buy some), but there's no obvious way to see at a glance how many they have.

The rest of the game seems pretty neat so far, but that irks me.

Not a bad mission. Four satellites in orbit around Mun, and landed back at KSP.

@StrixVaria Well, the thing is that it's not always going to be just 2 players.

@Powerlord But in theory you'd still see all the buys and know all the starting conditions, so the information is still technically public.

It's just more to juggle in your head for no reason.

Normally, each victory point pile has 8 (2 player) or 12 (3+ players) cards in it.

@BenBrocka Classy

How do I vote to reopen a question or do I need to have a certain amount of points for the option?

@Scootaloo The 'close' button becomes a 'reopen' button.

If you can't see it, you don't have the rep.

close questions

view close votes

@GnomeSlice I already can see that on other questions so I know that's not the issue.

The question I'm talking about: gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/129071/…

@Scootaloo Huh... weird.

Is that because it's only on hold and not closed? or?

@Scootaloo I can see it.

@Scootaloo On Hold = Closed

The phrase 'closed' was changed to 'on hold'

You need 3k rep to vote-to-close and vote-to-reopen.

Except for your own questions.

@FEichinger That explains it then.

The max I've had is a little over 2k, but some of that is gone thanks to the bounty's I've given out.

Read. Help. Center. That's what it's there for. Contains loads of that information.

@FEichinger There isn't any rules against asking people I know here, now is there?

No, but this is the type of stuff that files under "no research effort". It's straight-up explained on the privileges.

@FEichinger That doesn't apply to chat and you know it.

Also the help center is incomprehensible

@FEic Ugh. This isn't a bloody question.

There's nothing wrong with the occassional question, but using us as your personal information sources gets annoying after awhile.

@GnomeSlice Bullshit. The privileges page has gotten a lot better than it ever used to be.

I think "frivolous lawsuit against nebulous large scale entities crazy" might be my favorite flavor of crazy.

You're always trying to start something with me.

@fbueckert This.

@fbueckert This was the first time I've asked anything related to the main site functions in awhile.

> 41. Then I want a movie script for me and my African American honky cousin. I would like to play in Blazing Saddles with him for his first starring role and many other funny as all movies.

@Scootaloo Just ignore him if he's bothering you. That's what he does.

@Scootaloo And as I recall, we continually point you at where you can find it yourself.

Your first step when you have questions about the way the site works is: Help Center. Then, if you're up for the challenge, MSO or your respective site meta. Then maybe ask on chat.

@fbueckert Leave him alone.

Especially when you already expect that it has something to do with rep, you should check the privileges page.

Which has existed for ages, and has now become much more accessible.

@FEichinger Are you daft or are you just trying to piss me off?

@Scootaloo Have some bacon!

I am just generally pissed off that people who already have done a guess as to what might be related don't think that one further and check it out themselves before asking us. You suspected it could be related to your reputation, why didn't you look it up then?

@FEichinger I already thought I had the privilege, because I could close my questions. It was an oversight, now please get off my back.

If I asked you guys/girls simple questions here in chat every single day or things like that then I might be able to see where you're coming from.

@Scootaloo Dude, you're not here everyday.

@fbueckert EXACTLY.

If you were, you'd probably already know that, actually.

I visit the sight once a day to check my log, but that's on the main site. I rarely come to chat.

@LessPop Does chat have a soft kick and hard kick function?

@Scootaloo That does not absolve you. It's not, "Oh, I only join chat every now and then, so I can ask whatever I like." That, really, would get rather annoying. It's, "Hey, we'll answer this, but, really, you should know how this works by now. We've pointed you at it often enough."

Which is what's happening here.

@FEichinger To be honest I wouldn't have thought of that either.

@fbueckert If he had put it kindly like you did then I wouldn't have acted the way I am.

Streaming Bunny Must Die on Twitch

@BenBrocka Does this involve Playboy?

Instead he chose to be vicious about it.

@Scootaloo He did it nicely. Gave you the links. It got a little rough after that, yeah.

@Gnome It's about Teemo I think. His easter bunny skin I think.

Still, I sorta understand where he's coming from.

@Scootaloo Teemo?

@fbueckert He's always trying to take shots at me when I'm here.

It's not just one isolated incident. Normally when he's not around, I'm generally fine.

@Scootaloo It happens to me too.

@Scootaloo I think what you view as, "taking shots", others view as, "he's a grumpy sort."

Just roll with it.

@Scootaloo Need I remind you that you are the one always assuming I have it out for you? And do I really have to dig up the part where you did the very same thing to the extent of actually pissing me off?

I'm grumpy, yeah, tough break.

Ok, people, enough.

Be nice.

@FEichinger Your avatar isn't grumpy.

@fbueckert lol. Pot, meet Kettle.

@GnomeSlice If I still had my login to gravatar I would change it.

@FEichinger HAH. Oh man.

That stinks

@FEichinger I'm not going to lie about it, ya I fired back at you, because you were doing the same to me.

@GnomeSlice I stopped using it when they switched to publically calling it a WordPress login system.

Another thing for everybody to remember is that this is the internet. It takes a thick skin to interact with.

@FEichinger I don't remember that.

If you're easily offended, this...probably isn't the place for you.

@fbueckert Says the guy who complained about the word 'fist' earlier.

@GnomeSlice Big blog post about it a while back ... Annoyed me to no end.

@fbueckert It'd be a different situation if he didn't intentionally provoke me every time he had the chance.
