I am slowly losing all hope for this role.
80% of games are against mages
Supports are either brain damaged or act like little children (with the exception of few actually good players)
Fun and interesting champs, like Kalista, are weak / pro play jailed
Build path for items sucks + there is no creativity in build paths
What is the point of playing this role anymore?
We have overcomplicated business/companies to the point where I don't even know if the thing I am buying is owned by the company on the packaging. Seriously, a company is owned by another company which represents a team of people who made something (eg. videogame) but they aren't the owners of the game but have created it for the company that they work for. Of course that company is owned by another one which is also, by coincidence, owned by another one but not really because they just own the majority of their shares which doesn't make them owners in a physical sense.
You see what I mean? It has gotten to the point where bureaucracy gets extremely complicated for customers and regular people suffer. Last month for an AC unit I had to sign and fill out 5 different papers because the AC unit was owned by a manufacturer which is owned by some company (2 papers, one for manufacturer and one for the owner company), papers for people who have put the AC up (2 papers, one for them and one for the business they represent) and finally a warranty paper. What the flying fuck, I spent 30 minutes filling out forms and bullshit because there are 5 different pricks who want a verification that the thing they produce was installed where it should be installed, as if they give a fuck about my satisfaction.
Every few days my LP gains just flip for no reason and I am tired of it. Last week I was plat 3 28LP having +22/-18, after de-ranking (played with a friend who hasn't played in a long time) I started having +18/-22...
How is it possible that I gain more in plat than I do in gold with the same win rate. And if that isn't bad enough it randomly just flips for a day into +22/-18 and then goes back the other day.
What really pisses me off is how fucking stupid "role models" for both men and women are and how they then mold their personalities based on these archetypes. This is a list of everyone that makes my blood boil, hope you enjoy it.
Women
The entire "Billie Eilish" mentality of degrading men to money and a pretty face, those shitty matcha pilates yoga bullshit self-exploring whatever the fuck class goers, bitch-face mentalities, those "successful" 5in1 influencers thinking that posting 2 videos a day automatically makes them an influencer/business owner/content creator/reviewer/podcaster and other nonsense, gym girls who post 20 pictures on Instagram all completely unrelated with the last few being random memes they have taken from other TikToks & their dry fuck ass lesbian humor, the "I am too pretty to talk to you" fuckers who base their entire personality on being pretty and ignoring anyone who doesn't match their standards, OnlyFans "models" who flex their wealth but try and preach about moral, those TikTok wenches that post dancing videos but it's just them trying to thirst trap for views and comments by "accidentally" swinging their ass into the camera.
Men
Every single one of those fake Christians preaching about god but posting them at parties smoking and drinking, self-improvement guru's, everyone involved in the Manosphere, roided up bodybuilders who promote drugs & drinking a shit ton of energy drinks because it is cool and makes you have "high test", every single one of the un-funny fucks who comment anything related to "son😭" and all of the iterations that comment has, wannabe streamers & content creators who recycle content from other people, that one American Psycho moron who irons his bed every morning, every single gambling promoter, nonchalant pricks with their pants sagging down, drug abusing/defending dickheads, the "Israel is at fault for everything" idiots, everyone who makes jokes regarding Epstein & Diddy situation, looksmaxxing SpongeBob looking scum of the earth.
Which team won the game?
Short answer, not the one with a traditional ADC (a champ designed for that lane). Awesome stuff from RIOT, give mages access to every lane in the game, give them better scaling, wave clear and abilites for dodging/evading kill threats... To be honest I am quite on the verge of being done with this lane. There is no real counterplay to double mage bot, ADC items cost a fortune, once you get behind you have to pray to gods that your team has 2 braincells left to play the game, most champs are either too weak early or too weak mid game, there is no creativity in champion builds, you are forced to pick champs that are currently good (because anything else is pro play jailed and is not viable).
F*ck RIOT, f*ck bot mage abusers, f*ck this system. It doesn't matter if you are good or bad you can never be the decider of the game. It's just a bunch of bs that we have to put up with, and for what? Getting +19/-21 for 5 games then +22/-18 the next 5. There is no real reason to play ADC anymore, I wouldn't even be surprised if future team comps revolved around Top (tank), JG (bruiser), Mid (mage), Bot (mage/tank), Support (mage, enchanter).
Such a sad year for this game...

Fuck everything about social media. I hate influencers, I hate gurus, I hate course sellers, I hate OnlyFans whores, I hate wannabe streamers, I hate memes. Like seriously how far have we fallen that our lives revolve around looking at clips from Kai Cenats streamer university and how dumb pricks sold their belongings to buy a plane ticket just to get denied entry. Now it might just be me but I have been seeing those clips for the past 3 days and I have finally reached my breaking point. And it's not just that singular thing that pushed me over the edge, I am just getting started.
​
How stupid are we as human beings that we take someone like Epstein and make jokes and laugh about his actions as a pedophile. Him and Diddy's actions were taken more as comedy material instead of serious issues that plague our society. People would rather joke about Epstein and use him as a selling point for their product than do something about it, THE GODDAMN PRESIDENT of the United States was directly connected to him, are we that fucking stupid?
​
Also the whole USA-Israel relationship and "Jews are responsible for everything" is next level idiotism. How the fuck is someone that is Jewish responsible for anything happening to a 15 year old boy who spends all of his time on TikTok/Instagram. You are not able to count to 10 and you're talking about how Jews are controlling the world...
​
This also leads me to those guru's and course sellers, most notably known as members of the Manosphere. What a bunch of cucks, they preach about what women should do but when it comes to their mother's, their dad's left them, they shut up and behave like they never said anything wrong. Andrew and Tristan Tate, Sneako, Myron, that Weller prick and all the other fucks are the most irritating, un-funny, un-insipirational, low life forms of human being ever created. The pure fact that they are not imprisoned for all the horrible things they said is beyond me, as a European they would probably get publicly shamed and executed/imprisoned long ago.
​
For the final part, all those wannabe streamer fucks that recycle same content over and over again... There is literally one blueprint that they follow. Ooh look at this video -> scream loudly or have an un-funny reaction = comments from morons commenting shit like: "Son😭", "Bro is not ... ", "Ts🥀". My god just shut the fuck up like please none of this is funny, it's just the same slop over and over again getting eaten up by people. And if that doesn't work they take a video from another creator, publicly shit on them to manufacture a conflict and then farm reactions so their viewers can clip their content to publish on TikTok... Also all those fucks that pretend to be a moral scale of the world or those who defend porn, lolicons, LGBT fantasies, KPOP singers and whatever the fuck they also get wet from need to be mentally checked and their phones taken away. I don't have enough fingers to count on how many times I have seen people defending animated children getting sexually abused or drawings of straight male characters from a TV show having intercourse or fantasies about cartoon characters doing weird shit.
​
I had to get this from my chest somehow, fuck social media.

After hundreds of hours of grinding every day I have finally reached one of my goals for 2026.
It might sound ridiculous but I wanted to reach plat by June this year and I have finally achieved it. The whole deal is that I can only play ADC and I must not duoQ with my friends on the account that I am playing on.
While I reached it thus fulfilling my goal I realised that playing ADC in high gold/plat is actually really fun. Now don't get me wrong plat is by far the worst rank in terms of mentality that I have experienced. Whole lot of inters, crybabies, morons but if you ignore them and play the game it's bearable.
I stopped playing for LP and started enjoying the game more by picking champs I feel like playing rather than what fits the comp.
Is it just a placebo effect or does playing in ranks above gold feel more enjoyable?
Do people mentally get better or is it even worse in Emerald+? I feel like bunch of these people bitch for no reason and don't want to play when behind.
I need some advice regarding Caitlyn's build path.
For context I have been playing Cait for a long time now but I am unsure what would be the best right now.
Usually I go swifties - Stormrazor - IE - LDR - situational items + GA
I feel like Stormrazor has shitty components, everything other than BF is bad for laning because you don't get AD. The reason I like Stormrazor is because you can walk up, bait CC and then run away while you also deal huge amount of damage with your passive.
Is there an item that could be better to move to buying 1st?
PC Specs:
Dell G3 3500
Processor: Intel i7-10750H @ 2.6GHz
(works at 2.6 out of the box but can push up to 4-5)
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 1650Ti 4GB VRAM
Memory: 16GB DDR4 Single Channel
Storage: 512GB SSD
Requirements:
Need something reliable, customisable, user-friendly (optional) and good for gaming. I mostly play Kingdom Come Deliverance and other Steam games.
Experience:
Have tried Kali Linux and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Ubuntu was fun to play with but I didn't get the full experience with it. Had it for a few days and then switched back to Win11. Mostly because there was some lag and choppyness while using it (possibly caused by it being a dualboot setup) which was putting me off.
I have been thinking about switching to Linux for quite some time now. Microsoft pushing AI, Win11 breaking at every update, Office 365 being harder to uninstall than to install, performance issues, lack of customisation and bloatware are all the things that make me want to switch.
I have already tried Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and have been pretty satisfied with how it worked. Only thing I didn't like was how choppy it was at times (probably a result of it being put as a dualboot option).
I need advice on which Linux Distro to choose based on my PC activities. They consist mostly of gaming (primarily Kingdom Come Deliverance & League of Legends, which I am trying to get away from). I am also in networking and need a reliable operating system. So far I saw a lot of distros being recommended but I am not sure which one to pick.
What I want is something reliable, relatively beginner-friendly and with support for gaming. I have some experience with Linux Terminal because of college but not as much to call myself an expert.
Thank you for your advice!
I am sharing some in-game screenshots I took while playing KCD2. I am not an artist nor a photographer but I thought these shots looked cool.
The reason I want to share these particular screenshots is because I have huge respect for Warhorse Development team who managed to provide everyone with the ability to play this amazing game. I myself have, so to say, 'a lower end PC' which is just a Dell G3 3500 laptop. It is decent for work and videogames that don't require much processing power. I never would have imagined that my machine would be able to handle a game as beautiful as KCD.
All of these screenshots were taken in-game, with no post processing or editing.
Once again, thank you Warhorse for optimizing this game and making it playable for a wider variety of gamers. Hats off to you!
Note: graphic preset that was used was 'all low'
I am slowly finishing up all the DLCs after finishing the main storyline and have some questions for the folks that might have played the game differently from me.
I started playing KCD2 a week after playing through the first one. I really liked KCD1 but the side quests never intrigued me to the point where I wanted to complete them before continuing the story. The story was the main focus and that trend continued into KCD2. After completing the story I went back to play all of the DLCs and have realised that side content is actually really fun and intriguing.
The question is, should I make a new game and re-play but while doing the side quests simultaneously with the story? I feel like I have missed out on a lot of side plot and characters... Also I want to make some different choices in regards to the story and certain female characters (for the sake of entertainment, if you know what I mean).
Should I do a "re-run"?
Should I continue playing as I am already?
Should I start up a hardcore run?
