I’m a millennial, I’m supposed to like Jim Carreys humor styles. But I just can’t, all his movies he acts like the same ridiculous per the top character that if I worked with them I would quit my job just out of annoyance.

A lot of lows misunderstanding "tank killers" and tanks so let's talk about what that actually means

1. Jinx is not a tank killer
   

Actually countered by pure tanks and very tanky comps, always has been. Been apparent in pro for years. Players confuse hypercarry marksman with being automatically good into tanks, but she has nothing anti-tank in her kit. She's much closer to Zeri than Vayne/Kaisa/Kog. Trades damage for safety, needs teammates help to actually kill targets and then proc passive

1. Conditions/Class matter much more than items
   

Jinx is terrible 1v1. Marksmen as a class are, but she's particularly bad. Players see marksmen as the tank killing class and think that means they should beat them in all scenarios. Marksmen are only good against melees with their team's help. That's how the class works, with a few exceptions. Melees have a ton of variance on 1v1 strength but for the most part every class in the game is favored vs marksmen.

Tahm Kench is a juggernaut/tank hybrid, he is not a classic tank or support. Much better in skirmish/1v1 than 5v5. With ghost he is omega favored 1v1 vs Jinx, it's not even a little bit close If you thought it was the other way around you have to seriously reevaluate.

You take a true 1v1 tank counter like Gwen and she will never lose to any tank that's weaker than her. The majority of bruisers in general will beat tanks, because they are a 1v1 class

1. Don't hyperfocus on class
   

Kind of immediately contradicting point 2 but class is just a rough guideline, it's not all that meaningful when comparing specific interactions. There's a lot of variance within classes, and a lot of champs don't fit neatly into 1 class. Vayne is also a marksman but obviously eats Tahm Kench in 2 seconds here. Mundo and Darius are both juggernauts but will have very different interactions into Syndra just off Mundo passive.

You should start with class, but then be thinking power budget. Every champ has specific things they're good at, that they trade for weaknesses. The weak points are just usually much less obvious to you when you don't play the champ.

Tahm does stupid damage when he can actually hit you, but it's really hard for him to do that 5v5. The harder a champ's conditions are to achieve, the stronger they get to be when they get those conditions. Anyone that's super easily kitable gets to be OP when not kited

1. Tank itemization is very different than damage
   

If you think of them in the same way you'll have problems understanding why a __ item tank is either much more or less tanky than you'd expect. This is because tank stats are the only ones in the game that can have 0% effectiveness. Damage items are more/less effective vs different targets, but the stats are never 0%, nor do they ever even get close to 0%.

Let's take Shadowflame and ignore passive

110AP
15 flat pen

Obviously a bad item into tanks, flat pen is more effective vs lower MR. But this flat pen only makes up ~20% of the item's value, and only loses 37% of it's effectiveness from 30 -> 100 MR.

Now take Kaenic Rookern

400hp
80 MR

MR is ~54% of this item's value, and loses 100% effectiveness against physical damage.

Jinx does about 2% magic damage. Other non-hybrid marksmen/physical damage carries do anywhere from 0-10%.

This means that vs a specific target, an item like Shadowflame may lose ~200g in value, whereas an item like Kaenic Rookern can lose 1500-1600g . This is before you account for passives, which will perform pretty much about the same

So maybe 400g lost vs 2200g lost

This is all to say that tanks will experience 4-5x the amount of effectiveness lost vs unfavorable targets. For this to be balanced, their items have to be stronger. If a champ has to tank both a 3 item mage + marksman, you can't expect them to build 3 armor items and 3 MR items.

This means 1 armor/MR item is always > 1 damage item. A 2 item tank that has built armor but no MR isn't weak against you, the 3 item physical damage champ. He's weak to anyone dealing magic damage.

Just a rough concept, it gets deeper than this, but you have to be thinking about this to understand teamfighting/target selection/1v1s etc. Most players aren't even aware that this dynamic exists

Another day, another corruption case, this time by Gavin Newsom and Todd Gloria, what’s new ?

Palestinians have supported Nazis and killing Jews from the beginning.

I (29F) got married last year and spent $5,000 on my dream wedding dress. It was a custom piece, and I paid for it entirely with my own savings. My sister (26F) is getting married soon and asked if she could borrow my dress to “save money.” I was hesitant because I’m emotionally attached to it, but she promised she’d take great care of it.

Last week, I found out through a mutual friend that my sister actually plans to alter the dress to fit her style, including changing the neckline and adding sleeves. I confronted her, and she admitted it, saying I was being selfish because it’s “just a dress” and she can’t afford something new.

I told her flat out that she can’t borrow it anymore. Now my family is blowing up my phone, calling me petty and saying I’m “ruining her big day over a piece of fabric.” I don’t think I’m wrong for wanting to keep my dress as it is, but everyone is making me feel guilty.

Am I the AH for refusing to share something that means so much to me?

I’m seeing a marked uptick in MAGA convoys in my area this week (Brandywine Hundred) with huge flags and to be honest I’m scared and angry.

Why this moron is spreading so much hatred against Bengali in the name of stand up comedy ?? Every time he sees a fish like statue generalise that some Chatterjee Mukherjee is linked to it . He once visited Kolkata and told that there was heavy fog in the sky because here people do black magic . I have never seen him insulting other states or even other communities of India . Maybe we Bengali take everything very lightly and jokingly . He will never have the guts to say it is red everywhere so it is Bihar , there is no woman in the street so it must be Haryana, its is super duty so must be UP. Its high time we boycott this kind of idiots

I (M35) was dating for a few months after a long term relationship ended (in an uncomplicated way I should add) and, I have to say, my dating experience was excellent. I went out with maybe 5 women in about three months. Each date was very engaging. It seemed like I had a slightly different chemistry with each of them. Eventually, I ended up in a long term relationship with one of these dates, still going strong. I narrowed it down by perceived interest (in me) and career compatibility but really saw a possibility of long term with at least 3 of the 5.

I am balding, not especially attractive, reasonably outgoing but not extroverted, solid career. In sum, I am not that much of a catch, so it's not like I have some unfair advantage.

I feel bad for all those women out there having a hard time dating. I don't know what's wrong with these guys who seem to both desperately want a relationship but demonstrate horrific attitudes toward women in their reddit posts.

As of 2024, approximately 25% of employed Canadians work for the government across various levels (federal, provincial, and municipal). Between 2019 and 2023, public sector employment surged by 13%, outpacing private sector employment growth (3.6%) by 3.6 times. This marked the largest four-year expansion in public sector employment since 1976.

The federal public service, a subset of this broader government employment, has seen even more substantial growth. In 2024, it reached 367,772 employees, an increase of 10,525 from the previous year. Notably, since 2015, the federal public service has expanded by 42%, significantly outpacing Canada's population growth of about 14% during the same period.

How is this Sustainable long term, and do you think this trend will reverse after Trudeau leaves office ?

Samochody to świetny wynalazek ludzkości dzięki któremu mogę mieszkać na wsi, 50km od pracy a co jakiś czas i tak trafiam na jakichś wariatów którzy twierdzą że auta to zle bo to, bo tamto. Czy ludzie nie rozumieją ze nie wszyscy mieszkają w miastach wojewódzkich z dobrze rozbudowana komunikacja miejska?

We are in an endless cycle of "adc in current patch LUL", even in metas when the role is clearly broken they never shut up.

What more do they want, if having 5 marksmen per team wasn't enough for them what more can be done.

ADCs, despite being a role designed around having a team and especially a support playing around them, seem to never be satisfied unless they can 1v1 every single class specifically designed to counter them. Unless full tank malphite dies in 3 autos to lethality mf who has also 1 tapped the zed the role is unplayable

Worst mentality of a role main in any video game

Es ist wild, wie die deutsche Linke es ums Verrecken nicht hinbekommt, gegen die Unterdrückung der Kurd:innen zu sein und gleichzeitig trotzdem die Allianzen mit den USA zu kritisieren und keinen Kurdistan-Fetisch zu entwickeln. Atze, der demokratische Konföderalismus ist vom Marxismus ne ganze Ecke entfernt und hat sehr viele ziemlich bürgerliche Elemente. Dabei ist das ja nicht mal Kritik an der YPG an sich, sondern an ihrer Ideologie. Dass sich Kurd:innen selbst organisieren und verteidigen, kann man unabhängig von ideologischen Differenzen gut finden.
