I think DL is onto something about people on the spectrum and those qualities, which are usually viewed as negatives, being a strength to becoming extremely good at video games.
In retrospect I should have known I was autistic and league was my hyperfixation in high school back in S2 like my NT peers were not reading every single ability and lore entry for fun it was only me memorizing every champion. Like when Kha came out I saw those OG isolated Q ratios before AD caster itemization was real and I was like no way this lasts more than 2 patches I will legit 1v1 anyone with just a brutalizer hello?
Riot should look into some nerfs to the ADC items. And go back to buffing the champions individually to compensate. I'm pretty sure the item power is the main reason the random champions with an ADC build take over the other lanes. They're just all super strong effects in every situation. It's been so long that DL doesn't even compute why mages don't just all build deathcap. (deathcap is just a massive stat stick, stacked effects are more useful to most champions to cover strengths and weaknesses)
honestly nothing wrong with blocking in souls games, but I think the reason why so many people choose not to is that the game is balanced around dodging stuff, thus shields will always make the game easier, not really adding anything else - it's essentially a difficulty lever, because if the games were balanced around shields you'd NEED to always have a shield and that would just be restricting your weapon choice
people take part in strategies that make the gameplay easier quite often (leveling up, using estus, upgrading weapons). the reason they don't use shields is because they don't perceive them as fun or cool. if you ask me, barring extreme strategies such as the fingerprint shield, I don't think shields are as broken as people like to imply ESPECIALLY against bosses.
The stamina drain and potential to get guard-broken or forced/pushed into a bad position is what makes them bad. Why would I block an attack that I could side step or outtrade? Besides in order to block (effectively) you must be one-handing which is the lowest potential DPS possible. Shields are only really good for parrying attack/spells or a low-vigor mage setup. But even then you probably have low Stamina anyways so rolling out of the way to cast a spell is probably a far better option. You could always block the attack and then two-hand but that's slow enough to lose you any advantage against a tough enemy. They were so good in DS1 that they nerfed them into oblivion in DS2 and they've just never been the same.
I’m genuinely curious is Sneaky rocking a femboy haircut ironically? Does he ever talk about it? I know he’s cosplayed as female characters before idk I’m just curious :)
While i dont disagree that there is likely some correlation between pro players and being somewhere on the spectrum, doublelifts first example being tarzaned and that drama and then saying 'the people under the pro level are not 'normal' really comes off with a very intense negative connotation, especially given how reprehensible of an action tarzened did, it adds a maybe...unintended implication of 'these not normal, on the spectrum, people are BAD people, who do bad things,'. He legitimately picked like the worst possible example to try and illustrate his point. Also, as someone ON the spectrum (adhd and likely also autism) it felt like for awhile there he had absolutely no clue what he was talking about, and was just talking to fill in the empty air, is that just me?
Shields in elden ring arent broken lol, i've played both 2 handed and shield +1handed, and 2handed jump attacks are just way better in most fights, though there are some fights that shields make rly easy, Radahn is probably the biggest offender. But in fights like Malenia shields are awful.
lmao doublelifts and elden ring noob. People hold it with 2 hands because its more damage and requires less strength to be able to properly wield it. hahah double lift. Blud youll beat me at league but not ina million years on any souls game lmfao.
FBIs build for game 2 should be a federal crime jesus fuck why do you go shieldbow AND BT 4th item??? no IE no LDR no Blade against alistar and poppy????? Its so insane how little dmg hes making ashe do
what if they had a support theywas like a backwards yummi, where you could have the adc mount on the supp gaining range or something for some time. Theres something there
What NA pros don't realize (and hilariously, no one ever talks about in these streams), is that kills early mean almost nothing at all. When you watch good regions play early game, even if they go down 3/4/5 kills, the gold is still basically even. And also, the gold is on average WAY higher even for the losing team at 14 minutes. The reason: good regions prioritize farm, camps, plates, and neutrals in the early game. They aren't attempting the dive bot to get kills (altho those are nice), they're doing it to pressure the enemies off which leads to plates. Then it leads to a neutral objective on the enemy's back timer. Then it leads to a tempo advantage where they swing top and do the same. T1/genG/KT, etc, have extremely high averages for # of plates taken before 14min, and this is consistent even in games where they're losing early. Same with farm, they literally never give up substantial farm even when losing. NA is so worried about early kills to snowball, they miss out on 90% of the gold on the map.
I feel so bad for Busio. He's stuck on that team having to listen to fatheaded Bwipo and Inspired, and not being able to respond cause he's the new guy with these vets. Not like he could find another team when there's only 8 in the league now.
@@speedpoke3019 Idk the myriad of things he's criticized for. Yapping. Lcs Walkout bail. Career-long rager that made teammates quit. I think the only thing he's gotten better about is raging at teammates but he's still wrong a lot of the times and is "jokingly" harsh on players so who knows.
@@manashieldmedia you understand :,) "he's the same as in every other video" no he isn't. He's progressively shown his true colors, especially since the lcs walkout.
Oh boy I sure hope the boys focus on the gameplay and don’t go off on some dumb unrelated tangents (I dont and they will)
Some things never change
That’s the best part
My favorite part is the unrelated tangents

Perfect timing! In desperate need of Snake and Meat content
I LOVE MEAT SNAKE

actual elo hell
This was highest quality banter in a while.

Can we get a weekly pod cast even out if season? Doublelift will come up with dumb shit to talk about

We are definitely mostly autistic 😂😂 I got a late diagnosis this year same time as Rekkles
Bwipo too I thinks

oh boy has he done much more than just "cosplaying"
He’s just not someone bound by stereotypical gender norms, his gf does his makeup for his champion cosplays lol

Doublelift talking about how shields are cheap in Elden Ring when he was using Rivers of Blood yesterday lmao
karthus flashing back instead of forward on the dragon fight
rip iceland
XD
i love double lift but the whole autism segment he sounded goofy af
Iceland is a pretty fine country, Greenland tho...
FBIs build for game 2 should be a federal crime jesus fuck why do you go shieldbow AND BT 4th item??? no IE no LDR no Blade against alistar and poppy????? Its so insane how little dmg hes making ashe do
Doublelift talks over meteos so much, props to meteos cause that shit aggravates me to no end.
I watched the whole thing and didn't notice lol
If you're in a call with 3 or more people then it's just happens sometimes, who cares.
Everyone is builing tear on Cormi because Chovy did it. The west are just sheeps when it comes to item builds
Iceland 🤣
People don't use shields in Elden Ring because they blow ass. Shields haven't been good since DS1.
Hard disagree
NRG needs to rethink its drafts... These drafts are reportable.
Rekkless came out as being on the spectrum
Wait a minute, it's not my bedtime editor wtf >:(
58:00
59:20
9:43 sneaky stinky boi confirmed
what if they had a support theywas like a backwards yummi, where you could have the adc mount on the supp gaining range or something for some time. Theres something there
FAST AF BOII
I'M PICKLE RICK!!!! 🥒
Lol Double lift saying that someone has fallen off? does he remember the last split he played
he's forgotten more about league than you'll ever know
Doublelift exposing himself as never having played anything other than Summoners Rift XD
Doublelift thinking shields are "cheap" in elden ring is just the funniest shit, holy god

Thank you sneaky and meteos for keeping doublelift relevant!(not really, I'd prefer it if he weren't there but 🤷♂️)
