Is it worth it to play around with rune pages or should I stick to guides?

Posted: 24 Aug 2021 02:51 AM PDT

Background

I've been playing LoL for a short while. I started with blindly following guides and slowly moved towards adapting my items and abilities to the situation. I still haven't experimented with runes and I don't know if I actually should, at least not at this point. I just watched a 3-hours long guide explaining all the runes and their uses and it really got my imagination running. There are so many rune builds I'd want to try with so many champions now that I understand what they do!

When I play, I want to have fun more than anything and I really like the satisfaction of making something unorthodox work. At the same time I don't want to be the reason why my team lost. It's fun to go 1-7 with a troll Magic: the Gathering deck, because winning against the all odds matters more to me than actually succeeding. But in a team game like LoL, winning consistently should be something I'm at least trying to do.

Problem

However when I check stats on mobafire or mobalitics, it seems that best runes for every champion have been already solved. Top 3 builds with highest win rate usually have very little difference between them. Different guides show very different rune build, but successful Bard always take specific Resolve/Domination runes and every successful Garen will take Precision/Resolve with only variation being which resolve rune should be taken, etc.

I understand that most of those runes were most likely discovered by experimentation and that, although unlikely, there might be an undiscovered set of runes that is even better than what is currently at the top. But I still don't know enough about this game to understand why I won or lost. Did I play really well, did my opponent play well, did my team make macro mistakes, did I or someone else buy wrong items or did I pick the wrong rune? I notice my skill shots getting better and abilities making more impact on the game as I get more experience with a champion but other than this simple feedback, I don't think I could tell a difference between being behind because of bad runes and being behind because of any other reason. And if the best runes are already known, I feel most of the times I'd just be making my champion weaker and hurt my team by diverting from them.

Question

Keeping all the above in mind, how much would I be hurting my team by choosing suboptimal runes I feel might work with a champion instead of those recommended by meta trackers? Is there any value in experimenting with runes and trying to adapt them to my play style or should I adopt my playstyle to the runes that are currently the best?

Are retail sales of a particular product affected by mixing goods from different manufacturers?

Posted: 24 Aug 2021 12:10 AM PDT

Suppose I have a store, and I want to sell bread. Suppose there are two bread factories I can buy from. Factory A is owned by company A, factory B is owned by factory B. Assuming that the bread from company A and B both have the same quality and brand rating, I could do one of these:

  1. Sell company A's bread exclusively
  2. Sell company B's bread exclusively
  3. Sell a mix of company A's and company B's bread

Will there be any difference in retail sales between the three choices above? If so, what causes the difference?

What is this buff in The Virtuous Cycle?

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 11:25 PM PDT

I've finished a run in the Virtuous Cycle area and then after some time I noticed this buff on my character. It persists when I enter a new run and it's still there even after I failed this run.

What is this? Is this some kind of buff?

Does Stone Blast deal Earth damage, and are Golems strong against it? ... Trying to get "Study Harder" at the earliest possible opportunity

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 07:50 PM PDT

Trying to get Genis's Study Harder! title, where I need to "use elemental spells the targeted enemy has resistance to at least 10 times in one battle"...

And I'm quite sure I had him fire off 10 Stone Blasts (Emptying out the TP bar, at 74 TP, 7 TP a shot) on a Martel Temple Golem, which, when Lensed, had a mountain-y symbol with a minus sign to the left of it.

Which, and intuition would agree with, the idea that that means "Earth Attacks are a Bad Idea against this enemy"...

A.k.a, resistance. ... So, either my intuition's off... Or just looking at the title description now... Where I said "I", and Pickerman said "you"... Do I have to semi-auto / manually control Genis for the title, instead of letting the AI do all the work?

Does it matter which way units are facing?

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 07:22 PM PDT

When I move a unit in Wargroove, its sprite will face left or right depending on the direction I last moved. Does the direction a unit is facing have an effect on gameplay? IE: Can a unit be ambushed if it's facing the wrong direction?

Can you view a list of captured Boos?

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 07:46 PM PDT

Is there anyway to view a list of Boos you've already captured on a Luigi's Mansion 3 save file?

There doesn't seem to be anything in the gallery - although I can see regular ghosts and the gem list.

I haven't played my save file in a while, and I know I captured some Boos, but I can't remember on which floors. I want to go search the floors I haven't found the Boo yet, and not waste time on the floors I have. But I don't see a simple way to figure out which floors still have a Boo.

Thanks!

Why Did My Modded Minecraft Crash [closed]

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 05:29 PM PDT

Crash report: https://pastebin.com/R3dE3nbZ

A kind of old crash I had while playing AllTheMods6 (a modpack). Does anybody know how to read crash reports?

Can I get the AI to only flee and not attack?

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 05:08 PM PDT

Trying to get the "Study Harder" title for Genis, on the Golem, with Stone Blast.

Unfortunately, it's not tough enough to survive against my party going all out, so he can't get the requisite 10 uses...

Is it possible to get people to just run? If I could do that for everyone except Genis, he'd get the Title easy.

But it seems there's no AI settings to do that?

"Hold Position" gets people to stay in place and not attack, leaving them very vulnerable... But every other Position strat gets them to attack?

And there's no Action strat to stop them from attacking at all?

Do clothing abilities that affect pins only affect the character wearing it?

Posted: 24 Aug 2021 03:54 AM PDT

Some clothing items have abilities that affect pin strength. For example, the Strapped Pumps have Gusty Synergy, which "Increases the power of Wind affinity pins."

If I equip an item with Gusty Synergy, does it increase the power of every party member's Wind affinity pin? Or does it only affect the pin equipped to the character wearing the item?

What Controller is this?

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 06:33 PM PDT

I was looking at this shirt on woot:

https://shirt.woot.com/offers/console-general

and I am unable to identify one of the controllers

Console General Shirt

(It's the last controller on the second row)

What console is it from? None of the others are are third-party controllers (well, the GunCon is a notable exception), so I don't think it's third-party. I've been through all of the generations on wikipedia, to no avail (but perhaps I missed one)

I want to use multiple nametag names to change mob textures with Optifine.
Is this the correct syntax?

skins.2=2  name.2=teel aqua Teel Aqua §baqua §bAqua §bteel §bTeel  

Or this one?

I have looked everywhere. My device currently is not working for Minecraft with Optifine.

How to find Command Blocks in the world? (1.12)

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 12:43 PM PDT

I've tried using WorldEdit, server logs/console, and even NBTExplorer to try and find a bunch of command blocks likely far far away that are constantly spamming commands on my server. Is there some kind of way/plugin that I can use to locate their coordinates?

The world is in the form of a map that I've downloaded so I've never been near them and there was no player data or anything that I could use to find them.

Can you share save files on Steam Family Share to other accounts?

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 01:26 PM PDT

I've been playing on my brother's Steam account for a long time and it's about time I should get my own Steam account now, but looking up the Family Share it keeps saying that everyone will have their own save files. So is it possible that I can have my old save files from my brother's account to my new one? Or do I have to restart all of my games from the beginning?

How do you add icons into the names of minecraft items?

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 10:47 PM PDT

I noticed that Xisumavoid (a minecraft youtuber) has icons in the names of his tools. Like normal minecraft text, these icons are pixelated and the different pixels cannot be different colours. How do I add icons like these to my tools?

How can a Minecraft server be restarted daily and gracefully on an Ubuntu server?

Posted: 24 Aug 2021 12:02 AM PDT

I've got a (modded) Minecraft server running in a tmux session on an Ubuntu 18.04 server. What might be a good way to get it to shut down gracefully and then relaunch daily at, say, 05:00 in the morning?

So, in the tmux window, I am running a command like the following:

while true; do java -Xmx15G -Xms15G -jar forge-1.14.4-28.2.0.jar nogui; sleep 120; done  

This launches the Minecraft server, and relaunches it after a couple of minutes if it crashes. But in order to optimise performance, I would like the Minecraft server to shut down at, say, 05:00 in the morning gracefully, as it would with the Minecraft server command /stop, and then to restart. How might this be done?

Is there some sleep command for the server that could, on launch, cause the server to /stop after 24 hours, and then my little loop script restarts it? Is there a way to tell the server to stop when it detects there are no users?

How to find or replace lost item?

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 10:08 PM PDT

I accidentally tossed an important item off the table. For whatever reason it didn't reappear on the middle of the table. Maybe I put it into a bag accidentally. Is there any way to find or recreate the item?

Can the Cult Leader recruit Lycans and Maple Wolves?

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 07:00 PM PDT

Can the Cult Leader recruit Lycans, or is their form of lycanthropy too mild for that? Some have said that only the Sanguine Horn can make players able to be recruited.

Druids bonus ignored with only level 3 druids?

Posted: 24 Aug 2021 04:04 AM PDT

When you have only 2 or 4 level 3 druids on board, is the +Level bonus completely ignored then? Or is there a special bonus (like a Extra Level 4 or some smaller stats enhancement)?

Could not find an answer and would be useful to know if you can stop leveling when the level 2 druids would be level 3 with the bonus.

Is there a way to get back items after /clear command

Difference between legless, blue-eye blobs and legged green-eyed blobs

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 03:42 PM PDT

I just started this game and after leaving the first town I noticed there are two types of blobs roaming around. The main differences are eye color and having legs. Is there actually a difference between them other than cosmetic? Does one of them indicate a harder battle?

Adding Friends on Different Platforms to Real Racing 3

Posted: 24 Aug 2021 03:03 AM PDT

I'm using the Android version (Jelly Bean/Nexus 7) of EA Real Racing 3, and my friend is on the iOS version. He keeps sending me invites, and when I accept them from facebook, it keeps sending me to the google play store. How do I accept his request? Is there no link between platforms maybe, or what is going on?

How do I sleep or skip nights?

Posted: 24 Aug 2021 03:51 AM PDT

I was able to build a bed in Terraria and I thought it could allow me to sleep. By clicking on it, instead, I set only the spawn point.

Is it possible sleep in other ways or eventually skip nights (or days)?

Escaping from League of Legends Elo Hell

Posted: 24 Aug 2021 03:36 AM PDT

What are the different ways to boost your Elo rating in LoL?

It seems like when you lose 5~7 games in a row there is no way to get a decent team to play with, thus leading you to lose more and more.

  1. How do you get in to winning streak in solo queue?
  2. Are there specific champions I should watch out for and queue dodge?
