You could try looking at your Hard Faults/sec to see if that is giving you problems. But we are getting dangerously close to debugging code.

SimonL

Well, I don't know much about minecraft, but I would hypothesize, that the reason why you are having issues, is that whatever you are doing in minecraft is taking up more ram than what the minecraft application is being given.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 04:09

Yes I know the specs are low on your laptop, hence my original question, why does it say 100% of your 478mb of ram are used.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 04:07

Well sounds like turning Optifine off is the solution!

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 04:06

@RPiAwesomeness Why does it say you have 100% of your ram allocated?

Man where did I put that IT crowd picture

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:59

They where saying the new item, Zhonyas hourglass wasn't good enough to justify the cost.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:57

People said removing it would cause mages to not be able to compete with tanky dps because it wouldn't allow the mages to cast abilities, pop zhonyas to wait for cooldowns and then use their abilities again.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:56

ah found it -leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Zhonya%27s_Ring

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:55

The same was said when they took out the old Zhonyas hourglass/ring item. I forget what it was called now

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:53

Jax, Jarvan

TankyDps has always been strong

I could not find anything indicating Voli's passive has been changed.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:47

She has two stuns, and a lot of mobility

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:46

I'm surprised you can beat Riven in a 1v1 with either Zac or Volibear to be honest.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:43

I can't really comment on that without watching the gameplay. I find Akali isn't generally a problem... champions like Riven on the other hand

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:41

Champions without mana have always been a problem in LoL in the early game. Lee Sin, Riven are also examples that snowball out of control.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:35

its funny that you mention that Yuuki, because I find it harder to keep up in dota2 than LoL.

In dota2 you basically have to stay in lane otherwise you get too far behind in the minion kills/denys + it is hard to co-ordinate courrier usage. Whereas in LoL you can let a minion wave push, clear the wave B and then be back usually with only missing 1 or 2 minion kills.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:29

I also agree with LessPop the WoW movement does feel just better than other MMO games I have played, Vindictus and recently Wildstar.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:28

Also about some of the dota2 heros, I agree have a higher skillcap than any of the LoL champions (Invoker and meepo are who I think you are trying to mention). But dota2 does have "simple" heros to play as well.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:27

For me personally, I have more lag when I play LoL over dota2 because of my location in Canada. I usually have around 100 ping to LoL servers while dota2 I can get under 50.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:15

I am curious as to why you find LoL more accessible? I think dota2 is more accessible purely on the fact that you can use all heros/champions at any time - rather than a free weekly rotation and buying them with IP/riot points. Not to even mention the rune system.

A new player playing dota2 is on the same level as any other player, whereas on LoL a level 30 player with full runes and skills is at a huge advantage to a new player with no skills or runes.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:08

different I agree, but I find dota2 to have more strategies and allow higher level gameplay than LoL because of the difference of mechanics like this and others (such as buyback).
As to the morals of denying, I agree it is "silly", but a lot of games do silly things that are fun - rocket jumping for example.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 03:01

When you see stuff like an Urgot bottom solo vs a carry + support and just farming under the tower because the other team cannot deny, it makes the gameplay more stale

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 02:59

I am speaking from a high gameplay level point of view, tournaments etc - not your standard game, which I concede does have that

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 02:59

not really

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 02:58

Taking out denying in LoL reduced the laning phase to a simple gold/s calculation (at high level)

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 02:57

True they patched it out, but look at denying this way - instead of hugging a tower and farming underneath it in LoL - it can be contested in dota. It provides much higher levels of gameplay.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 02:56

@Yuuki Gangplank disagrees.

SimonL

I am just going to leave this IMDB list here as to what could go wrong... imdb.com/poll/S_6n2Av5Zzk

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 01:31

@AshleyNunn you should switch to being a habs fan

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 00:40

@GnomeSlice game looks really interesting - but that type of game isn't for me.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 00:38

is it free?

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 00:36

but I'm staying away from the question because I think we have all put in way more effort than the person who posted it.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 00:35

I think the question can be closed as too broad

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 00:32

@AshleyNunn He isn't posting a question, he instead posted a request for someone to write a "guide" on how to obtain that follower. An actual question would be "I read a guide that says to get this follower I need to do x, y and z. I did x but got stuck on y because of reason. What should I do?"

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 00:17

Yah thats gunna confuse a lot of people...

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 00:16

Wait - what does HotS stand for?

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 00:10

Fastest peer-reviewed edit I've ever made to be fair,.

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 00:06

and I really don't want to post an answer to the question in that current state

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 00:06

Sadly, I can't find a dupe of that question on the site

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 00:04

very detailed answer at that

SimonL

Feb 7, 2015 00:03

@Lazers I find the lack of quality disturbing.

SimonL

Jan 22, 2015 03:53

I started drinking right after I started working with xml - I still have nightmares of those HL7 messages.

SimonL

Jan 22, 2015 02:38

It was a flag on a comment.

SimonL

Jan 22, 2015 02:36

Is there a way for me to figure out why a flag was declined?

SimonL

Oct 25, 2014 06:43

just play demoman and solo the enemy team

SimonL

I get around that problem by being a terrible lip reader.
