i was in band from 5th grade on, so i was forced to get used to it. first few times werent great, but i eventually got over it and was able to deal with it. talking or playing an instrument in front of me doesnt really bother me, but singing is a bit more nerve racking. especially if i am singing solo. singing with a group is fine for me though

Yuuki

@Elise I was in choir and my experience was that I just sorta lose myself in how I'm performing.

Unless it's a solo performance.

Then it's nerves all the way.

Elise

@Yuuki in a choir you can just hide and blend in :P

@Yuuki this is where it gets serious

Yuuki

@Elise That and you're focused on listening to everyone else for cues and stuff.

Elise

I had to be homeschooled for year and half because my social anxiety was that bad when I started puberty

it's not nearly as bad now, so that's good

The Mattbat999

@Elise i have seen a good many of people struggle with that, and had to go into homeschooling.

Elise

12:09 AM

interviews and phonecalls are still nerve-wrecking tho 🤷🏼‍♀️

@TheMattbat999 growing up in Latvia in late 90s, early 2000s, I never heard of anyone with that issue

The Mattbat999

@Elise it isn't super common, but you aren't alone.

Elise

@TheMattbat999 social anxiety definitely seems a lot more common these days, but also, I "diagnosed" myself with it, because the doctors back then (and probably still) are terrible in Latvia

the doctor just gave me anti-depressants and told mom I have depression (which, in hindsight, I did)

my social anxiety only started getting better once I figured out what it was and what caused it

The Mattbat999

@Elise yeah, but it does seem social life has became very stressful in recent years.

And i don't live in that area, i was just speaking in general.

Elise

@TheMattbat999 oh I know, I'm just saying that locally, it was extremely rare

as an adult, I've met many people online who have social anxiety issues, although I don't think I know any that had to be homeschooled

The Mattbat999

I know two cases of people who are close to me. Both were cracking up under social pressures, so their parents pulled them out of public school.

Elise

12:16 AM

school system is also very different in NA and Latvia and NA public schools actually sound quite a lot more stressful

I'm not looking forward for when my daughter is old enough to go to school

The Mattbat999

One thing, in which still baffles me on why, is that it seems the better you do in school, the more people consider you a social failure (speaking from personal experience)

Elise

@TheMattbat999 it is not uncommon for less socially adept kids to do better in school

possibly because the really social kids are easier to get distracted with being social

The Mattbat999

@Elise true, because, yeah, all the "cool kids" of my school have no intent of doing well in school.

Elise

I was very social AND did great at school pre-puberty and post-puberty I was terrible socially and did pretty bad at school, so it can go either way, lmao

anyways, I gotta go to work now. Nice talking to you :) ttyl

The Mattbat999

Ugh, my color sensor is doing weird things

It's supposed to report color values from 0-255, but the green value just climbed to 255 and then started over at 0, so I'm pretty sure somewhere it's actually getting higher values and then just treating it as a one byte number

Also, I somehow completely missed that the sensor can calculate the light temperature on its own, so all my work on that front was probably unnecessary

Although my algorithm might be more accurate

On the other hand, their algorithm was designed with this color sensor in mind, so who knows

@Yuuki that's a terrible combination

unless you're the slave's owner, then it's great, I suppose

And now Kleptomancy is a "RNG, get another keystone rune every 7 seconds" rune.

Mage Xy

Klepto sounds like an atrocious rune now

Why would anyone want that

Yuuki

I mean, I might use it on Bard for lols.

Bard works surprisingly well with a lot of keystones.

Mage Xy

Most champions work well with only 1-3 runes... very few (if any) can make use of 10 at once

I do like the idea for the air drake, but I hope it's a pretty significant movespeed buff otherwise this seem like a much weaker soul than the others

Yuuki

@MageXy If it's a significant buff, then some champions with spammable ults (like Kassadin) would be really strong with it.

Maybe some kind of internal cooldown.

Hail of Blades could be useful, especially since with this new Klepto, he doesn't have to take the rest of the Domination tree at the expense of something else.

you arent stealing anything

Yuuki

@MageXy Well, it's not every 7 seconds flat. "If he's used a keystone, it goes on 'cooldown' and it refreshes to something else in 7 seconds" is how I interpreted it.

Mage Xy

@Dragonrage In the Reddit thread, they confirmed they are changing the name and icon

Yuuki

Another question is whether you'll retain stacking rune effects like Dark Harvest or Grasp of the Undying.

Dragonrage

@MageXy unsealed runebook?

Mage Xy

@Yuuki Okay sure. But keystones are not that hard to proc usually, so it will change maybe every 20-30 seconds then

man i don't remember the last time i built zz'rot and now i miss it

Mage Xy

I really liked Zz'rot but I can understand why they'd take it out.

Yuuki

Maybe an active item that grants you a short-duration Baron buff?

Mage Xy

And Ohmwrecker has always been a bizarre item. It kinda has to be a bad item, because if it's not, it's overpowered.

Yuuki

Splitpushers that built Zz'rot (like Singed) would still get that and now to use it properly, you actually have to push and stay with the wave, thus risking yourself.

They're looking at Stormrazor, which is nice. I like the idea of an "item set", it's just a shame that Stormrazor is so dependent on having other Energized effects unless you have some kind of weird secondary scaling going on where Stormrazor's mix of stats benefited you just right, Kai'sa.

I think we talked about this before. Stormrazor's problem is that it essentially competes as a fourth item purchase with Bloodrazor or Mercurial Scimitar and the others offer lifesteal sustain while Stormrazor does not (unless you picked up Fleet Footwork), which is incredibly important for an ADC.
