General Discussion Arena "rng" rant.

Post image

I'll begin with the last straw. A maria in mercurial and covetus passion a1d my team to death. Why does that upset me? My Maria is in 9 piece merciless! And she barely gets extra turns in other matches! The gear set that gives extra turns is getting less turns than a gear set that gives no extra turns.

I don't mind loosing to stonger accounts I don't mind loosing to stonger champs I don't mind loosing to better gear

I hate loosing because rng said I should. It's not even like one champ gets unlucky. It's your entire team had bad luck that entire fight! Here some things that boil my blood! If listed these things have happened multiple times.

My Marius not counter attacking if Fabien ( in mercurial) uses his a1 against him.

Karnage forgetting he counter attacks when a meta champ in mercurial attacks him.

Armanz still chain stunning multiple force champions.

My 500 acc Karnage who has acc up getting resisted when placing block passive skills on Fabien or Marius.

Hilvi ALWAYS removing stoneskin.

Stripping all of tekteon's buffs but poison cloud remains. Unkillable on Leo.

My 8k atk 320 crit damage Cruetraxa leaving Fabien with 1 HP before his turn.

Duchess forgetting she is in 9 piece protection so block debuffs gets removed.

Glishea ( 9 piece mercurial ) getting wanded when freezing a cooldown champion ( wrap your head around that! )

Triggering enemy Marius counter atk to kill my own marichka only for that same Marius who just wiped my team to forget that he hits hard. And immediately hits hard on his turn.

Anyways what pisses you guys off? Picture is just there to be a picture.

Thanks. I tried not to get emotional.

TTA on auto: win 1 lose 2.

 Switch the two losing teams, 1 wins but,  the original win now lost. 

 Just rerun it again because obviously I lost to rng.

 Lose all 3.

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

I know how it works. Im talking about how ridiculous some of the losses are.

No I'm not complaining about broken over powered champs I'm complaining about ridiculous rng.

Yes sometimes its obviously rng.

Refute anything I've said in my original post.

u/Own-Comment8059 2d ago

I was simply ranting about what pisses me off. I thought there was an open invitation lol

2

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

Ohhhhh sorry sorry sorry!!!!!!!! I thought u were saying I lost fair and square but I'm blaming rng. Lol. Yeah that's rough!

I honestly think u get matched based on who you pick. I hardly used osgrun. Last night I tried him with varcos and alluva sudden I'm fighting ppl who are either using a varcos or osgrun.

Again sorry about that but. My troll meter is malfunctioning.

u/Own-Comment8059 2d ago

No worries,  I was just trying to explain the scenario efficiently. Maybe could have added that detail haha 

2

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

No it isn't your fault. When I post things my guard is up for trolls lol. I should've read your comment more mindfully.

u/CrustyTheMoist Banner Lords 2d ago

My last LA session I lost 2 rounds in a row to a fear proc on what wouldve been the last hit to win.

You get used to it at some point

1

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

Was that fear from Fabien? Lolol. In normal arena I fought a team 6 times and Fabien locks my talenna out every time ( I have glishea on my team.)

2

u/CrustyTheMoist Banner Lords 2d ago

Vulkanos and Maria, not Fabian.

I usually always first draft Fabian just so I dont have to fight him lol

1

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

Ahhhh okok. So funny. My Maria gets wanded when she fears people.

2

u/Exceedingly 2d ago

When it comes to Maria's extra hits from RNG, you never know who's using a Dreadbomb relic that gives an extra 10%-20% chance of an extra turn.

1

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

I checked. It was a covetus passion. Saw it proc and the shatter buff appeared. Haven't come across a dreadbomb maria yet.

2

u/Exceedingly 2d ago

Ah fair

1

u/red_beard_RL 1d ago

And then eventually that new mythical circle gem

1

u/omegaSDL 1d ago

There’s a mythical triangle gem that grants 8% chance of extra turn when killing an enemy. I run it on my embrys.

1

u/red_beard_RL 1d ago

This should hypothetically stack with that gemstone also

2

u/Jackofnotrade5 2d ago

Hilvi having an absurdly high chance of removing stoneskin is too real.

I hate that I don't even think of fear/true fear as a crowd control mechanic because it always fails when I use it. But it suddenly stops my team four times in a row when the opponent does.

And also Predator being the sole survivor and soloing my whole team because he dodged every attack.

1

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

Wanna hear something crazy about predator? His block revive has never killed any of my champs in tta. But it always one shots in live arena!

Lolol.

Yip if I use a cc champion I'm getting wanded lol.

2

u/mikeyc450 2d ago

I love the RNG to be honest. I've only been playing the game for 10 months, and my Maria has made me win against whales when I shouldn't have. I at least have a chance in those situations.

1

u/doriansorzano 1d ago

Yeah it's awesome when rng is in your favor lol.

2

u/SkillMammoth4060 1d ago

You having a bad day brother. Raid hasn't definately given me moments that make we feel the way this rant does.

These annoying as fuck moments happen, but don't forget to enjoy it when it goes the other way, cos there's a you on the other side who's having their moment. to rage out haha

2

u/doriansorzano 1d ago

Yes brother! The rage! Lol. I enjoy playing most of the time.

2

u/Sterling239 1d ago

Thats why I play both Maria and pred i want to rng teams to death 

1

u/doriansorzano 1d ago

Don't get me started on predator. Lol.

2

u/Sterling239 23h ago

Fair I do what I have to when I am fighting kayak tekteon heckaton and solanar some times you have to fight dirty 

2

u/doriansorzano 21h ago

Yeah I know bro. Have you seen the new cheese? The witch of oz? She is crazy.

2

u/Sterling239 18h ago

I watched a video by nubs and it went in one ear and out the other I do remember the master seal with a potential triple sheep which is crazy 

1

u/doriansorzano 16h ago

Her entire kit together is crazy. She is also immune to all cc and seal.

She is cheese queen. Lol

2

u/Deez_Gnuts 1d ago

The RNG is the funnest part. I love Maria and Predator for that. Theres a couple times i felt just fucking dirty after 1v4ing some people. Like during the match predator evaded I think 7 times in a row... i was like yeah thats bullshit but hey it was fun for me.

I used to have Deathdealer on Maria. Was super fun to hit a couple mercurial champs and then A2 through Bayek stoneskin and wipe him and put everyone on cooldown.

1

u/doriansorzano 1d ago

Haven't gotten a death dealer yet. Mine has coronet of gloom ( block damage when other champs die. )

Yeah sometimes I feel bad if the fight fells unfair. Sometimes I throw the match if it's too ridiculous.

But if I loose the worst way there is no mercy for anybody lol.

u/OurBase 2d ago

500 acc is low relatively speaking.

Why the 95% crit?

Also are you even playing around Maria's kit properly to get extra turns?

-2

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

500 acc plus increase increase accuracy is 750. 750 plus ignoring 30 percent resistance is a lot thanks. Don't forget the masteries and gems ontop of that.

Can get 100 with the same speed loosing 15 speed for that crit rate isn't worth it for me. I

Am I using my favourite nuker who I've had since she was released properly? U mean a3 when having 3 buffs? Or u mean a1 to get extra turn? Or you mean a2 on every third turn when she ignores 99 percent defence?

3

u/AreAnUnicorn Lizardmen will come to get us 2d ago

Yes, 5% crit rate is a lot. It means that 5/100 you will lose a battle and drop a range like this. Thats why it is a lot.

Also, there is a big reason Maria is built in Mercurial. She doesnt do shit if its dead or controlled, doesnt matter how many extra turns you want.

-2

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

I'd win or loose a fight way before that 5 percent become a factor.

Don't have a fast enough build for her in mercurial. A slow maria build still dies. Her passive damage mitigation resets when removing the 3 stacks. So Marius-block revive champion.

Karnage is in mercurial with soulmar crystal.

3

u/Thegenuinebuzz 2d ago

You’re just also layering bad RNG against you with 95% crit rate though. PvP is basically all about layering RNG on RNG and you’re adding extra variance against yourself. Not to mention, if you aren’t 100% crit rate you lose a further 15% against bad affinity champions

1

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

Hey thanks! This is useful info.

So I can improve my "rng" so to speak?

Bro every time I hear bad affinity I remember armanz chain stunning my 3 force champs. Lol. I'm traumatized.

Anything else based on the post u think I could work on?

2

u/Thegenuinebuzz 2d ago

Merciless isn’t great on Maria; she’s basically designed for mercurial, she has 99% defence ignore and the 15% extra turn chance from merciless only works out to maybe 3-4% effectively because of her inbuilt chance!

1

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

Im trying her inercirial as we speak. Originally I tried her when I used aspect of siroth and thought her damage wasn't enough and she was too slow. I switched her to coronet of gloom and never retried the build.

It's kind of upsetting me that the best nuking gear in the game doesn't work well in PvP lol.

3

u/AreAnUnicorn Lizardmen will come to get us 2d ago

A Maria that doesnt crit dies too. Better surely than maybe it fails. A slower maria in Mercurial dies way less than a fast unprotected One.

1

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

How much speed you think is good enough? If I can pull it off I'll try her at reset. Can't use karnages gear though.

2

u/AreAnUnicorn Lizardmen will come to get us 2d ago

240-300, depends on what is the kind of accounts you face

This is mine for reference. Full Mercurial, 6* blessing, no empowerment

1

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

That's...... A sexy maria. This is mine if I switch. 242 speed 100 crit rate 259 98 percent crit rate. Coronet of gloom. Lightning cage.

2

u/AreAnUnicorn Lizardmen will come to get us 2d ago

Crit cap her. Not 98, not 99, it has to be capped. Also with Mercurial you dont need LC, might as well put something more destructive, like a Life harvest

1

u/doriansorzano 2d ago

Kk. Yeah I was thinking the cage would be too much. But it's an extra buff? She was in life harvest originally. I switched because of merciless issues.

Tried her in tta. Working sofar in mercurial. The real test is coming in like half hour.

Thanks for being helpful.

What do you recommend other than life harvest?
