I think the longer we discuss this the more likely we are to decide that Arcane Mek is the correct build. | ||

I mean posts that are grammatically correct, sincere, long, perhaps the product of some sort of thought, that are also in most respects really stupid or unnecessary. | ||

Flak wants you to build damage. Ult is totally generic and could go on any hero. There's a reason that back when he was good, it was legitimate to build him 1-0-4-1. I think some Chinese players even built him 0-0-4-1. He's also got 'a very cool Agh's upgrade that does almost nothing for him. If he had more mobility, it'd be useful while you ratted, but he doesn't have mobility. If he's going to be missing fights because he's farming, then it's quite good because it lets him contribute - but if he's going to miss fights it's because he needs damage and Agh's doesn't help with that. If he's going to build as a caster, then the stats on Agh's are pretty useful, except as a caster he's gonna be in the middle of the fight and the extra range is useless. I can see, though, how there's some synergy with his stuff. Barrage wants someone to be close; if you run, then Missile screws you. If you stick around to dodge the missile, then you get wrecked by Barrage damage. It just doesn't quite come together. | ||

Mostly I was thinking of posts every time there's some sort of drama. And also the people who post things like "FAREWELL O CAPTAIN OF MY HEART YOUR DEPARTURE REDUCES ME TO TEARS AND LEAVES A GAPING VOID IN MY SOUL WHICH CAN NEVER BE FILLED" any time a player retires. | ||

Unless the player is from your home country. Then you just say "good, he was never going to make it anyways. Not enough passion." | ||

Farewell, Ryan Lockwood, O captain of my heart! Your decision to stream bronze SC2 instead of Goldeneye 64 reduces me to tears and leaves a gaping void in my soul which can never be filled! Wait, shit, he's from the US. Whatever, he was never gonna make it as a speedrunner anyway. Not enough passion. | ||

The good heroes are the ones that have independently strong abilities that can all work together to a greater end. Take Sven, for example. Storm Bolt is always going to be good. It's an AOE stun. Great Cleave is kind of nice, you can use it to farm quicker. Warcry has pretty nice armor, and movespeed is always great. His ult is more damage. What can go wrong? And then put them all together, and you have an extremely meaty hero who can stun a target, move in quickly, and then destroy their health. | ||
