Champ is too slow/lacking sticking power.

I feel like the only time I can fight in lane is when the enemy allows me to and then I get the reward of just being a worse Darius in the same situation. So much less lane pressure and way easier to kite out. Also any champ with a decent stun or slow can short trade you to shit and never let you figth back. The only thing Sett is good at is teamfighting but if he gets stunned on the engage he just gets walked away from again. I like Sett's kit but I feel I'm handicapping myself picking him.

Antinatalism applies to all sentient beings.

Antinatalism is inherently a pessimistic philosophy that asserts reproduction as negative due to the consequences of the action, creation of suffering without any improvement over a prior state for a being pre-birth. Therefore, since desire and therefore suffering is fundamental to sentient experience as far as is known, the idea of reproduction being immoral/negative extends to all of them regardless of if they are able to understand why their actions are harmful. If a person tortures another person but truly believes they have done nothing wrong or does not even consider the other person they tortured as deserving of moral value at all, it does not lessen the suffering of their victim (especially if they were non-human). Similarly, whether or not non-human animals have the capacity to form moral thoughts, they still suffer and cause suffering for others. The fact they suffer at all is the problem, and if you want to make an arbitrary and discriminatory distinction then you will find yourself with extreme logical issues trying to otherwise justify antinatalism as a human exclusive philosophy when you have to base your argument off of suffering while excluding other sentient beings who suffer.

Always play to zone.

If you have an advantage and can stand to zone xp without losing all your health/getting ganked always do it. Even if you lose some minions doing so, they lose significantly more and they will need to call their teammates to help them, giving your team free map pressure. It also inflicts psychological damage on a lot of people because they are low mental/impulse control which can lead to them inting you a free win. Darius is not good at engaging and forcing deaths, so you play the battle of attrition/patience. If you do it well you can even zone an entire wave of xp in the first three waves and from there if you can set a freeze it is already over for the other laner (ofc often not possible).

There is no freedom for the living.

To live is to be an insatiable slave, a slave to your own being which creates desires unconsciously which you are demanded to consciously attempt to fulfil through the threat and experience of suffering just to end up unsatisfied again, only closer to death than before. And no sentient being can escape this fate, because desire is fundamental to the conscious experience of seemingly all living beings on this planet. The living are dissatisfied with their own dissatisfaction which they inevitably and cyclically create for themselves, they are their own worst enemy. It is only when a sentient being dies and transitions to non-existence that their suffering can end, yet there is no reprieve for them because they fail to exist to endure any reprieve from their foundational tragedy. To try and justify life as positive in relation to non-existence in a world where your own being is the cause of your inescapable suffering is the most extreme case of Stockholm syndrome imaginable.

Consent has value as it relates to suffering.

There exists no sentient being prior to being born (to the best of what can be observed) that can consent to being born, but that is not an argument against antinatalism because regardless of whether there is a being at the time of the decision, the act of reproduction will always cause suffering without improving upon a prior situation for the born individual (because they do not exist before being born to our knowledge).

Suffering is defined by experiences that are not desired, and so for any individual at a very minimum their own suffering is to be evaluated as bad. Lack of consent for already living beings always implies suffering, but even without an already existing being to consent/not consent to birth the act is still bad regardless because suffering is the fundamental point of interest and not consent even though they are inseparable for already living beings.

This also ignores the consequences any other living beings will experience from living in a world with the newly born being (extremely negative in the case of the average human).

That consent has value as it relates to suffering is also easy to see. Sentient experience is defined by desires that result in suffering/pleasure. If there were beings that were incapable of enduring suffering/pleasure and therefore incapable of having desires, it is not at all apparent to me there would be any moral issues.

Crazy how often the game becomes a waiting sim.

Low masters atm for reference and I don't play that much ranked any more, maybe 1 game every other day.

Often times in the first 10 minutes one team gains a clear advantage and then unless they throw it the game is already sealed or heavily favoured (this happens because player attitude/patience is shit and the advantage compounds once a lead is obtained). If the losing team refuses to ff, the winning team just has to wait for objectives to spawn, take them, stack drake soul and then take Baron and end while occasionally taking towers along the way because the losing side just can't defend. It becomes so incredibly boring on either side to play this out, I'm just waiting for the game to end because it is pretty clear what will happen from just pressing tab and looking at the map. I had two games today where this exact thing happened on either side, winning lane hard both times and one game my entire team stomps theirs and the other time my team got put into the ground since like minute 5. I'm convinced players do not value their time at all because playing for the 5% chance of a win over 15 minutes instead of doing anything else (including queue another game) is just stupid.

It's both an issue with the playerbase mentality (griefing/not caring) and how lazy Riot is to not try and change anything about it.

Pessimism is acceptance.

(Long post.)

Without the desire to attempt to justify or positively moralise existence, it is beyond evident that the circumstances surrounding life ensure insurmountable, inevitable and worthless suffering. Evolution, the lack of observable mind-independent values and the nature of all sentient beings as they exist on this planet make coming into existence always a negative for the individual. All arguments/statements made are done so acknowledging intellectual limitations based on what is possible to know.

All sentient beings on this planet act in accordance to desires they have which are a result of deterministic/indeterministic events as best as any human can conceive of. This means that sentient beings have no unique authority over their actions any more than any non-sentient object does. Thes desires that sentient beings have define their experience of pleasure (events that are desirable) and suffering (events that are undesirable). Since life is not inherently fulfilling and requires constant maintenance (nourishment/recovery/leisure) and all of those requirements take effort, which is often not desired to be exerted, this creates a cycle of internally inspired slavery for living beings. They must constantly satisfy their desires again and again without lasting satisfaction, all while suffering in the process of fulfilling the desires they have (because of the lack of fulfilment they endure). Worse yet, the satisfaction endured is only transient while suffering from lack of fulfilment (which is the default state of being/inaction) is omnipresent. Pleasure only acts as a reprieve from the problem that is fundamental to life. Coming into existence instills desire which creates suffering without any previous state of existence to have improved upon. Even under the most idealised conditions, no living being is simply satisfied with existence itself because their genetics do not allow it, any such being would go extinct from lack of action even if it were to exist. Even the idea of trying to improve life for others is inspired by our own dissatisfaction.

But more than just desire, evolution ensures that life will always be dictated and dominated by violence and exploitation because evolution is only concerned with what species are most capable of reproducing and manipulating their environment to be favourable for their continuation. When other species exist that have conflicting desires/biologies, the world has limited available essential resources and most species are not even able to reflect it ensures that all species are in constant war with others and themselves. The vast majority of humans accept the exploitation of other living beings (of any kind) without question if it serves their self-interests and animals in the wild are in constant competition with the highest stakes at all times (death). Those that are most capable of enforcing their will get the opportunity to reproduce the most at the expense of other living beings (human expansion for example). Furthermore, any being that decides to not reproduce will not see its genes propagated, and though ideas/desires are not dictated by genetics alone, they are impacted by them and the inhabited environment. This ensures that for most members of a more cognitively capable species (like humans) that are capable of reflection, their population will be largely selfish/rationalising of suffering, at the very least until they near extinction. Life is a bloodbath.

To seal off any attempt at a justification or hope, the lack of observable value and impermanence of sentient existence ensures there can be no salvation. You can try as you might, but it impossible to observe any mind-independent value, even perception of suffering as bad is beholden to the individual. People constantly attempt to delude themselves and rationalise away suffering with ideas of gods/a just world, but these are nothing but baseless assertions without even a shred of evidence of any standard. There is no standard the living are held to or value that is to be revered or punished for not following, there is only the universe and what cannot be understood of it. And finally, because life is impermanent, even for the individual any idea of value is to be annihiliated in their death. From the perspective of dying individual, all of reality may as well cease to exist with their death as their conscious experience ends. What value can life have if it is conditional on living beings that have no magical authority and when all living beings are to cease to exist leaving none behind to even perceive anything?

And so once you observe what life is, it is clear that coming into existence is always a negative for the individual and that a reality with life like this is without question worse than one without for any living being that can perceive suffering as bad in any moral sense. Nothing is gained by coming into existence because there was no being before to benefit from it, and at the same time the born being is doomed to suffering its own body makes it endure just to become non-existent all again. To try and justify life as a good thing is nothing but submitting to your own exploitation.

No respect for oppressors.

Imagine causing extreme suffering that you would never accept being on the receiving end of just for some transient pleasure. But not only that, imagine the ego required to expect anyone to give a fuck about you when you have no regard for the experience of others. What a surprise it is the world is so full of injustice! Someone should really do something about this!

The antinatalist main sub is full of actual idiots.

Antinatalism applies to all sentient beings capable of suffering (which evidently appears to be all of them, at the very minimum on this planet for many reasons which could be given). It's actually beyond insane how stupid people on that sub are attempting to defend their animal product consumption. Antinatalism is inherently a pessimistic/suffering-based philosophy and so the motivation to be antinatalist also concludes veganism. Every single excuse attempted is always a non-sequitir or just straight discrimination, it is so crazy to me because if these people were ever on the receiving end they would beg pathetically as soon as victimised.

People are terrified of reflection.

People are terrified to acknowledge the inevitabilty of their complete non-existence and impermanence.

People are terrified to acknowledge the extent of suffering they are responsible for and that exists in the world.

People are terrified to acknowledge the lack of value that can observed in the universe.

People are terrified to acknowledge that they cannot even justify their actions or intuitions.

People are terrifed to acknowledge that at any moment anything could happen to them.

People are so terrified of reality that society constantly manufactures delusions in direct contradiction to what can be observed in order to preserve the ego and the illusion of safety even as the world breaks around them, even when it is known what is inevitable.

This weakness only results in every more misery as people are constantly unsatisfied regardless of how much they consume and how greedily apathetic they behave, because the lack of existence cannot be made up for by anything. Certainly not by being a slave to transient pleasure without foresight or introspection.

Sooner or later, humans will have their delusion shattered at the end of society, but I sincerely doubt the exit will be of peaceful volition, instead it will likely be a result of pathetic egoistic desperation the way it always has been with the kind of being that exploits others without concern.

It's beyond insane that veganism isn't the forefront of all conversation.

Incomprehensible numbers of sentient beings are raped tortured and killed for pleasure and people ignore it or try to rationalise it. It is actually so beyond depraved that people support with such events happening to trillions of sentient beings with their own direct approval. People refuse to talk about it with seriousness because they can't handle how unjustifiably disgustingly evil what they support is, if they found themselves the victim no reason for their treatment would be accepted but because it is not them they have no problem with the worst kind of oppression ever conceived of.

Insane how exploitation is actually just everywhere.

Can't look at shit these days without being reminded of it within 5 minutes. I rarely ever eat out and almost forgot to ask for my drink not to be made with animal rape juice because that is the expectation of society. You have to go out of your way to research products to see what the actual production entails if there is even any transparency at all because exploitation is included in everything as a package deal. I disrespectfully hate people for partaking in this shit with 0 reflection, the same people complaining about how bad they are treated and yet avoiding any and all personal accountability for their own actions they can change that directly sustain exploitation. If people gave a shit things would change like that, but most people are just larping for the sake of their perception (egoism) and don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves, that much is obvious.

Garen is way overhated compared to other champs.

Yes Garen is overtuned slightly, but he is still Garen. Garen only functions as a counterpick at higher ranks and not only that he is as one dimensional as they come, so as long as you have a monitor and brain you can predict him with good certainty. Later on he can do some bullshit with flash, but at that point he is mostly just a summs merchant. In lane he is nothing compared to Riven/Jax/GP (and I would even say Ambessa is just beneath their tier). Those champs can all play in ways far more oppressive, have less opportunities to punish/counterplay, and are just generally far better champions than Garen in most team comps. Even Darius and Sett ( as bad as he is atm) are considerably harder to play against than Garen. Many complaints about Garen imo come from lack of future thought imo, not that you can't find him unfun to play against.

So many people are incapable of having reflective conversations.

It really is insane how apathetic and morally disengaged people are to the point you just can't have a serious conversation without people terminating their thinking or reflexively becoming defensive because they are unaware of their emotional state. It is beyond me that people can live in a world with so much apparent suffering and injustice and not care to change or address these things at all even when a lot of it would only require a small amount of effort to create a significant difference (researching products/not buying them, being more considerate, small acts of volunteering).

So much would change drastically if people could find it within themselves to just care a little bit, but it seems pretty clear to me that most people don't even care to think about their own life beyond what is immediately in front of them and how they personally feel about it. So many people want to complain and deflect/displace their own contributions to avoid taking accountability for what actions they are capable of. So fast to blame the world and system and yet somehow never reaching the conclusion of reflecting on the consequences they bring about and actually have immediate authority over. Yes things are undesirable and one person cannot change the surrounding circumstances of existence, but they can still do something that makes a difference to someone and if enough do you get a systemic difference. Although it is obvious that it never really was the point if the individual wasn't willing to do what 'they thought was right' in the first place. It's pathetic levels of stupidity and an unwillingness to learn that makes sure things stay extra shit and it's never fair on the victims.

Immobile champs should be tankier.

Darius is so squishy the entire game compared to the past imo. I dislike playing Stormraider's and needing to building Youmuu so often just to maximise movespeed because without it you get bursted before you even close the gap. Even worse for Darius because his damage is backloaded and takes like 3 seconds to max stack unless he gets an early execute. I feel like this applies for a lot of the immobile champs, they just don't have the tankiness to make up for their lack of gap close ability and get torn to shreds before they can do anything. It feels like recent balance changes regarding durability left behind the champs who needed it the most.

Pessimism is an observation of living in a worthless world with suffering.

Life has no objective value. All value assessments are down to the individual being and without greater justification. The individual's actions are a result of their desires which they do not have meaningful control over (determinism/indeterminism). These desires are the source of all suffering and are insatiable for as long as a being is to live otherwise they would not act. Desires are acted upon because lack of fulfilment of desire causes suffering. Life is internally inspired slavery.

All living beings are to die and become non-existent, all life will go extinct. Life is temporary. When any one being dies, all of reality may as well have ceased to exist for them.

Even if one tries to avoid violence as much as they can, their existence alone has consequences for other living beings that just cannot be avoided. The competition of life and process of evolution ensures the cycle of violence maintains itself as long as living beings exist. With no value to justify suffering and with life being finite and motivated by the desire to avoid the unavoidable, pessimism is just an observation of what sentience on this planet entails. To come into existence is futile and of no benefit to that who is born, nothing is achieved except prolonging the inevitable. I wish it was not true, but I just cannot see it any other way no matter how hard I look.

People are very comfortable with psychopathy.

The only actual logically consistent argument against veganism that is not necessarily false is 'I don't care'. They don't care about rape torture and murder of other sentient beings, not at all. Of course if they were the victim they would expect other people to care and find it the worst thing ever. I cannot take other people seriously at all when this is how they are, completely unselfaware, uncritical and apathetic to anything that doesn't immediately concern their self-interest. In fact I cannot express how badly I desire to not live in the same reality as such people. Nothing else needs to be said, you either are either disgustingly evil or you don't know.

How carnists see you after you enforce veganism.

They are more oppressed than the animals that are raped tortured and killed with no way to avoid their torment. You are literally the most evil person ever, how could you stop someone with violence who initially used violence to enslave and exploit others in the first place and who created the necessity for violent resistance?

Do people actually get competitive games?

EUW masters is so cancer I can't take the game seriously anymore, maybe Riot is testing my account. I would post in main sub but it would get nuked by mods in a nanosecond. At least 50% of games someone is griefing and multiple people are having egoistic psychotic breakdowns in chat. How can anyone give a shit when this is actually the game more often than not, there literally does not exist a "competitive environment" because people literally don't give a shit to play the game and have 0 mental fortitude. I think gambling is probably better for you than this shit.

Invade topside level 1.

For some reason toplaners (esp ranged) are not covering topside jungle entrances or warding and instead glazing bush prio, since most junglers are pathing bot and starting buff if you catch them off guard with a late invade their game is over if your team is competent. If you have Stormraider's they can't escape no matter what and if you have conq they have to flash even if they are mobile. Use flash to secure the kill if you need to. Now you do lose melees in lane and maybe suffer lower hp for it, but if you kill them as long as your jungler isn't a mega dogshit you basically just cooked the enemy team's most important player for early crossmap impact and if they don't have their team hard win or fail to play perfect they are fried as fuck. If your laners get prio early and can invade even worse for them.

The strat is instantly leaving base on 15s timer and speedrunning to get into the enemy jungle. For red side start you immediately run to tri and place a ward, if it is empty you sit and wait until like 51s and start walking, they start their camp outside bush so won't have vision and if they get caught they are dead. For blue side start you do a similar tactic but from topside go ward their bush near blue at the river entrance if you can. If it is occupied you stay out of vis and wait to see if they cover the whole time or ward and look to see if you can late invade or at least ward. If not you just walk into the bush and then go around the other top bush in their blue side on timer to meet them at blue from gromp side. Worst case you get jungler pathing info for free.
