I swapped from adc to top. I hit D3 this season on adc and I was kinda bored by the role and I wanted to play Irelia because the champ is really cool I think.

After 2 weeks of playing top I give up. I dropped to E4. I am starting to win every lane, I pick properly either Irelia, Kayle or Ornn top depending on whats better and I consistently beat my lane opponent but its just too impossible to carry games.

Its a complete flip and seemingly no matter what I do I am fucking useless. Bot mid jng is just so much more important impactful and I just cba honestly top is such a cool role in principle but in practice its just fucking useless. Bye

I swear to fucking god make Twitch manaless theres no reason for Twitch to have mana hes already shit in lane. Mages technically have mana and you know the amount of times Ive seen them go oom in bot in the last 20 games? ZERO TIMES

Btw this was all on the new HOTFIX patch from today.

I have been trying to get from Bajini Point to Everus Harbor with the Ironclad Assault for over 1 hour. This is my story:

1. Ship won't take off for the first 5 minutes of me trying to. Engine MFD is messed up.
2. Once you take off you and try to set a route via starmap: you realise you can't. Buttons simply wont react.
3. You try to manually set a course but cant find the waypoint you need to go to. Apparently theres a bug which causes some waypoints not to show up.
4. You qt to a nearby location whose waypoint does show up to try to fix the other waypoints. You arrive and you realise theres a bug that causes the command module to detatch from the main hull out of nowhere. Luckily you were flying in coupled meaning the main hull eventually comes to a standstill and you dock.
5. You realise the waypoint you want to get to is behind Arccorp so you repeat from 3. to a nearby location. Command mod detaches again and you need to reattach again.
6. You finally find the planet you want to go to (Hurston) and manage to start QT there.
7. Mid quantum travel to hurston the ship randomly switches into SCM mode and the QT is cancelled.
8. Because your QT is over the command mod detaches AGAIN and you need to reattach AGAIN. Bonus points if you ever went into decoupled. Good luck reattaching. The scene in Interstellar where Cooper docks with the spinning mothership: Thats easy by comparison.
9. You try to manually find Hurston quantum marker again and you manage to start QT.
10. Somehow you arrive at Hurston but you realise you cant find the Everus Harbor marker. You travel to another nearby point again to get behind the planet, command mod detaches again, you reattach, ship goes into SCM about 3 times before you manage to line up Everus, you start QT: The ship turns into a random fkn direction which is not even close to where Everus is:
11. THE COMMAND MOD DETACHES AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE SHIP WAS SPINNING; THE MAIN HULL CRASHES INTO THE COMMAND MOD DURING DETACH AND I EXPLODE BECAUSE GUESS WHAT THERES A BUG WHICH CAUSES THE HP OF THE COMMAND MOD TO BE PAPER
12. I quit the game

Oh and theres random spots in the ship where you simply die if you stand because atmosphere, temperature, pressure etc is completely fked up and makes no sense. All the light switches on the Ironclad dont work, the ship is in permanent emergency mode so the red light flashing is everywhere + random sound queues and theres a chance that the doors bug out and you cant open or close them. Oh and all of this was with the qd of the command mod unattached.

Thank you CIG for this wonderful experience. I AM SO HAPPY THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER

The following is an abstract I wrote to put my current model of what may be happening into sober scientific language. My background is mid 20s, quantitative field, currently between BSc and MSc level. I am not claiming this is proven. I am trying to formulate the hypothesis I came up with as cleanly as possible.

This text proposes an acclimatization hypothesis for the UAP and close encounter phenomenon. If a non human intelligence is interacting with humanity, the reported encounters may not be accidental, random, or merely observational. They may be deliberately engineered experiences designed to enter human culture, alter the range of thinkable possibilities, and gradually prepare civilization for the recognition of non human intelligence.

Under this hypothesis, individual encounters are not only events that happen to witnesses. They are seeded experiences. A witness sees an object, a being, a light, receives a message, or undergoes an anomalous interaction. That experience then propagates through stories, art, religion, folklore, media, scientific debate, military reporting, and eventually official institutions. The encounter is therefore not just a private event. It becomes cultural material.

This helps explain why many reports appear both physical and symbolic. The phenomenon seems to present itself in forms that are slightly beyond the understanding of the observer, but still close enough to the cultural vocabulary of the time to be interpreted. This resembles Jacques Vallée’s view that the phenomenon does not appear in a fixed, timeless form, but adapts to human cultural context. In earlier periods, anomalous encounters were interpreted as angels, demons, fairies, sky ships, spirits, or divine signs. In the modern period, similar encounter structures are interpreted through the language of spacecraft, extraterrestrials, abductions, advanced technology, aerospace systems, and non human intelligence.

The important point is that the cultural framing may not be purely human projection. It is possible that the phenomenon itself modulates its appearance. It may render itself through an adaptive interface, showing humanity something strange enough to destabilize existing assumptions, but familiar enough to be psychologically and culturally processed. The event remains just outside complete comprehension, while still being close enough to become part of the symbolic world of the witness.

This would explain the persistent ambiguity of the phenomenon. If the purpose were simple revelation, the intelligence could presumably make itself undeniable. If the purpose were total concealment, it could likely remain hidden. Instead, the historical pattern appears to occupy an intermediate zone: visible but deniable, physical but symbolic, frightening but not openly hostile, absurd but persistent, intimate but culturally scalable.

In this framework, absurdity is not a flaw in the data. It may be part of the design. Reports of beings, telepathic messages, medical theatre, impossible craft, religious overtones, trickster elements, and culturally specific imagery may not represent a confused residue around the “real” phenomenon. They may be the mechanism by which the phenomenon interfaces with human consciousness and society.

The purpose of such a strategy may be gradual acclimatization. A direct and unambiguous revelation by a vastly superior intelligence could destabilize human religion, politics, science, identity, and social order. A slower process allows the idea of non human intelligence to become thinkable before it becomes undeniable. Over time, the phenomenon embeds itself into myth, folklore, spiritual experience, science fiction, witness testimony, military reporting, congressional language, and public debate.

The current historical moment may represent a transition point. Earth is becoming increasingly sensor dense and information rich. Smartphones, commercial satellites, radar systems, infrared cameras, open source intelligence, artificial intelligence, and global communication networks make long term ambiguity harder to sustain. If the phenomenon is real, disclosure may be occurring not simply because institutions have chosen transparency, but because the technical and cultural environment that allowed denial is becoming unstable.

The acclimatization hypothesis therefore treats the UAP phenomenon as a contact interface rather than merely an aerial mystery. Its function may be to gradually expand humanity’s ontology while minimizing panic, worship, dependency, hostility, or institutional collapse. The phenomenon appears at the edge of our comprehension, uses the symbolic material of each era, and seeds experiences that slowly become part of civilization’s self understanding.

The central claim is that, if NHI is behind the phenomenon, the ambiguity is intentional. The beings or systems responsible are not merely being misunderstood by human culture; they are actively using human culture as an interface. They engineer encounters that are physical enough to be remembered, strange enough to destabilize existing worldviews, and symbolically familiar enough to enter the culture of the time. The shifting forms of the phenomenon are therefore not accidental artifacts of human interpretation, but part of a deliberate acclimatization strategy designed to make non human intelligence increasingly thinkable before it becomes undeniable.
