Is the 5070ti shadow of poor quality and I should look at other options?

I've been using chatgpt to pick parts for my next pc I know alot of people are against it but it's easier when I can ask alot of questions I will ask humans before ordering anything final.

Anyway so far I came up with with the AMD ryzen 9800x3d which seem like good choice for my use cases and I didn't need to pick from alot of different companies there.

With graphic cards it becomes complicated I have so many different makers of 5070ti in my local store I don't have all the options but the cheapest one was the shadow version of 5070ti I read alot about it and some people are saying it's loud and has poor cooling but others are saying it's not noticeable noise and their temps are fine so I really don't know who to believe.

I'm always wary of buying the cheapest option not because cheap=bad but for example I see there are a couple 100$ of diference between the cheapest to most expensive 5070ti model so I wonder if it really matters want to get good value for my build but don't want cheap parts to ruin it so let me know.

"Join this conversation" does not go away no matter how much I scroll in the comments.

Is that a new reddit feature? it's horrible, the "Join this conversation" part at the bottom of the page (on desktop) does not go away when you scroll to read comments, it blocks part of the page and really annoying, if I want to write a comment I will do so at the top of the page I really don't like this.

Edit: it also literally appears at the middle of me reading a long post, why would I want to post a comment when I'm reading the post? Please revert this.

Trueshot Prodigy augment changes I noticed (playing zyra)

Trueshot Prodigy seems to have gotten some changes not sure if it was listed anywhere I noticed through gameplay.

The biggest change for zyra atleast (don't know if any other champs are affected) is that her plants autos no longer proc it by themselves.

It's still a good augment on her since once you have an item that deal damage (such as liandry) the plants will proc liandry and the liandry damage will still cause the barrages to fire, it simply means the shots are slightly delayed (since they don't proc directly on the plants hit but on other sources of damage afterwards)

The other pretty big changes is that it now actually requires you to damage the enemy to fire, not simply apply damage, what this means is that if a shield fully mitigate the damage you deal the shots will not fire.

The biggest reason I found it to matter is against an opponent with big brain they counter it pretty hard, the huge big brain shield means no shots will fire at that enemy untill you break that shield, and a lvl 2 big brain refreshes the shield after 3 seconds out of combat, so that enemy can make you unable to fire shots at him for a while.

I just tested it, I finished the wooglet quest normally, then once I had the wooglet hat I removed my quest and I get to keep the hat while getting free 2 levels, seems pretty broken, aslong as you finished the quest it does not remove your item.

I don't know if it works for heartsteel quest too or other interactions.

When I reach that stage where you can pick.

  1. Prismatic anvil

  2. Remove an augment and get 2 random augment level/level up an augment tier.

  3. get a 5th augment slot and wait 5 rounds for a random silver augment.

My default choice is the prismatic anvil as always good, the remove augment can be good if you are stuck with a bad augment/getting augment levels will be really good for you.

But the 5th augment, I just don't understand the point of this option? My problems with it are as follows:

Waiting 5 rounds for a silver augment is way too long at this stage, usually the game already ends by that point.

Even if you do manage to wait the payoff a random silver augment seem awfully low for giving up the power of the other 2 options with instant power.

I think it needs a buff or rework, am I wrong somehow?
