    Ah great, glad I asked. I'd rather pay a little more and get an extra year or two out of it :P

    So still eyeing the Lenovo Y510p... it's been out for a while now, how likely is it a successor will appear soon? And how big is the different between the SLI model vs. the single card + bluray? I'm assuming the SLI helps make it so good for gaming but I have limited SLI experience.

    Civilization - Beyond Earth (Alpha Centauri Sequel)

    Honestly my complaint with Civ5 is no MP mods. It makes no sense to me. They have some seriously fucked up code if they can't allow two players with the exact same mods to play in a game together.

    The answer to Yi always has been and still is CC, just like most melee carries.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Highest mob and elite/champion density in the game, and it seems to get more dense the deeper you go, but that could just be my experience. Rift Guardians are fine, but they don't have a better chance to drop a legendary than any other pack really. I was in a game with a group that actually...

    Man, my monk has the one handed legendary axe that hits for 85% of your thorns value as bonus damage. Kinda wish my crusader was 70 to play with that~

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    My WD just got to 70 so haven't really gotten 70 gear yet on him, but I enjoy the slow-burn build of pets with AoE passives, Haunt + Locust + Piranhas + Creeping Death. Using Addling Toads for packs to mitigate the hurt somewhat while they die over time:Unsettling - Community - Diablo III

    Heroes of the Storm

    That's untrue in league, any pro streaming will get 10k+ viewers, and the vast majority are very quiet. TheOddOne, ImaQTPie, and Snoopeh are in the exceptions, not the norm. And the ORIGINAL conversation was why the HotS streams weren't getting higher numbers/more popularity.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    My monk gear still isn't great but it's at the point where I definitely need to look at specific slots AND then expect to enchant to get anything like an upgrade. Getting up to the high torments is gonna be a slog. I'm mostly working on leveling the other classes though, that way I have a better...

    Heroes of the Storm

    My point is that not every person can make every game attention grabbing or popular. MOBA gameplay is a lot different from most of the games these guys play (and obviously way different than all the single-player games). I am not saying HotS content is more or less entertaining than League or...

    Heroes of the Storm

    But people who watch CS:GO aren't going to watch HotS. People who watch Diablo 3 aren't going to be interested in watching HotS. HotS is, mostly, a moba, and will be watched by moba audiances and needs to appeal to them if it's going to be popular on Twitch. Obviously, being Blizzard, it will...

    The vast majority of popular dota2/LoL streams are pros or high-level players. There are some crappy gamers mixed in but they're significantly less popular than the actual skilled players.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    There is no functional difference between a 3rd party RMT and an official Blizzard RMT, except that Blizzard doesn't make much money off a 3rd party one, and more people get scammed. There's plenty of solutions that largely eliminate the potential for abuse from 3rd parties and allow friends to...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Not only that but as the streamers who got the invites aren't moba players to begin with, they aren't likely to stay with HotS as their main attraction. Not to mention you can only watch someone that has no idea how to play for so long before it's just pointless. You don't learn anything about...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Moonlight Ward is pretty insane even with sub-par stats. It's basically 272% weapon damage explosion around you every second (maybe faster, the orbs have a built in delay it feels like though), for forever, as a melee. I had one drop at like level 17 on my hardcore wizard and rode that sucker to...

    If UTH is really supposed to be about board control you could make it so the doges can only attack minions, not players. Not sure if that changes much though.

    I dunno, Ezreal is pretty bullshit. His Q is basically always up and lowers his already low cooldowns every time it connects. AP Ez if you can land the hits has got to be insane.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I actually was talking about tiers of gems. The top 2 tiers of gems take a huge jump in primary stat bonus but don't take any noticeable jump in RA bonus, so top tier gems it's better to use Primary stat ones instead of RA ones, whereas lower tiers it's better to use RA over primary stat ones...

    Jesus Christ that was insane, lol. Kudos to Riot for the extra touches, like the in-your-face interviews and the EU caster takeover.

    I like seeing people pick Katarina. Just... why. The mode damn near nullifies the advantage of her resets anyway.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The top 2 tiers of gems have HUGE stats compared to Marquis/flawless Marquis or whatever. Whereas Diamond RA bonus scales fairly flatly. So for top end, stats are better than RA, but RA is still not bad. Lower tier, RA is really hard to beat.

    I've only ever seen Vlads lose in streams so far. I think he's better on paper than in reality, but who knows. Every champ is insane mostly so far. I really wanna play some Warwick and some Yasuo and see how that goes. Can you buy Manamune? Fully stacked it'd be hilarious, infinite full damage...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The cache supposedly drops loot based on your CURRENT difficulty level, meaning farm caches on Torment 1 (or whatever), then make a Torment 6 game to open them. Just easier (and way more fun) to do a bunch at once.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Loot 2.0 is working pretty well for me, I've increased pretty steadily at 70. My bottleneck is Death's Breath now, I haven't even found enough to max out my artisans yet, and that's running Torment 1 for most of the Act V story and most of my adventure mode time.

    That note about legendaries said down the pipeline, is it confirmed already in? The wording made me think it would be in a real patch later on.

    Take teleport and turn team fights or skirmishes around. Objectives, not getting caught, etc. doesn't exist in Bronze, so it's all about getting small victories. Even turning one 2v2/2v3/whatever around early on can set your team up for winning. Edit: Also, Nasus is an EXCELLENT champion for...

    Hearthstone

    I mostly learned from watching Trump videos on youtube and watching him stream while at work. For all the RNG in the game, your actual draft is still slightly less important than your skill in playing, but obviously the draft IS important. Trump can get to like 8-9 wins with some seriously...

    I haven't seen it yet (not sure I'm going to in theaters but maybe we'll get bored), but supposedly it's not really what we would consider modern Christianity or anything. Aronofsky is an atheist himself. I guess if anything maybe it is more bible-accurate than Christian accurate, which means...

    Yea, 2 mana for 2 1/1 with Charge isn't completely insane. It's strong as hell, but not getting punished for playing more of your own creatures against it makes it weaker than it is now I guess.

    Why would you go to major Hollywood studios to make an original, realistic, down-to-earth coming-of-age comedy? That's like trying to get EA to make Bear Simulator. There's different avenues popping up for a reason.

    I believe the point was people bitch about something no matter what the status of the game is. Before Hunter became popular everyone complained how much dust/packs/money you had to spend to be competitive. Now they're bitching the only counter to the easy-access deck is expensive again. All...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Just walk back and forth in town with no movespeed bonus with and without the passive. You would notice instantly if you were 15% slower. It's easy to notice even a 10% difference with the Monk passive on.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    They're saying the same thing, Pyros just not using words correctly and misreading what Delly said. Characters default movespeed is 100%. There's a cap of a 25% bonus from items and some other certain effects. The Crusader passive lowers this bonus cap to 10%.
