You can lift it up and grind people with it then, Dead Rising 2 style.

Reminds me more of a manga that had a grim-reaper style death god using a lawnmower as 'is scythe. That was bloody hilarious.

Ah, yeah. Kuroshitsuji. Black Butler. Had some surprisingly amusing points ♫

Tried Xin again. I... kinda' like this guy. Gonna' have to do it some more, yeah. How do folks prefer to build th'fellow? Skill wise, the idea seems to go e->w->q and then mix it a bit between e and w, with preference toward e. Q seems "enough" just being there, whereas E is pretty painful and a gap closer, and w is both a sustain boost and enables the q knockup to land pretty easily, so that point spread seems fairly natural. Suggestions welcome, though

Last one I got saddled with the equivalent of a lane swap (went bot because other folks, the guy I was duoing with was d/c'd 90% of the game, so I was solo vs standard bottom), went boots 3pot -> Dorian shield and sword* -> Phage -> Sheen -> Triforce... and then things got a little silly because I was up fifteen or so kills (Bot game, ha. Vs MF and Lux) so I grabbed a tiamat and was starting to work toward a PD. Zerk boots somewhere in there. Was a little thrown together, to say least.

Looking at the guy, AP benefits 'is sustain a bit, and that delicious E. Then the rest of 'is non-ult stuff is basically AD steroids. So... not really sure where I was going. Like a little AP, not much, but some. Then AD stuff.

Guess I'm wondering if any defense items synergize particularly well with the guy?

*Speaking of this, is mixing dorians ever a good idea? It seemed like one in this case, but generally when folks go double dorian they seem to go double sword or double ring, not shield and something else.

8:39 dominion game, yikes. Just against bots, but still... I knew dom games could get short, but I figured the lower limit was a bit, well... higher than that.

Also Xin is kinda' fun. Gonna' have to try that guy again.

And, hum. Hextech sweeper on teemo in dom? Seems like it might be a good idea, but I'unno.

What? Peanut butter pie is (can be, anyway) amazing. Nothing ruinous involved.

It's fair to note that, for most people in most situations, they can mostly just assume a generally accepted axiomatic base (science, engineering, psychology, mathematics, whatever) as untroubling and move on to well-meaning ethical functioning within the system -- GG's "mechanical instead of conceptual", which is just saying you've got a sufficiently functioning system, at least for the situation in question, and you want to know proper action toward a goal within that system (i.e. ethics).

You can't escape philosophy, no, but for a lot of modern stuff a great deal of the work's already been done and practical ethicists (like an engineer!) can get a lot done without really paying attention to the system's axiomatic base slash philosophical foundation. So some avoidance of the subject by folks that are getting what they need from a particular system is understandable, I suppose ♫

And anyways, you started counting at zero.

Also, have we actually discussed any philosophy? I'm pretty sure this whole conversation has been about communication?

Y'all have been discussin' either the ethics or aesthetics (though the latter is more fundamental than the former, so it might boil down to aesthetics anyway if you go deep enough) of a particular language and communication method, yeah, depending on how you look at it.

Philosophy's really hard to actually get away from. S'what you get when you deal with the foundation of pretty much all academic (/all, period) subjects.

Yeh need to build for AP and magic resist penetration then, probably. Though it does depend a bit on which AP-scaling critter you're using. The burst casters in LoL are well known for dropping things in one combo once they get rolling... sometimes earlier. They tend to be pretty painful, with a hefty chunk of up-front damage.

Veigar in particular is a tiny little burst damage monster if you've been keeping the Q farm up. The more minions he's killed with that thing, the more damage all his damaging talents do.

Mumblemutter. Should have went for Tzintchi. Much better pantheon, ahaha!

Getting around that time to re-read Thousand Shinji and The Open Door, maybe. Good stuff, t'me.
