it is because people in dominion people mostly like to use ad/dps champion. I'm surprised that you won even though the majority of the enemy team had thornmail.

That's because Thornmail isn't a counter to Akali. Massing Thornmail when the biggest threat on the enemy team deals mostly magic damage is fail. The counter to Akali is magic resist, Oracles or pink wards, and to burst her down the moment she shows her ass.

Ya, thornmail is only usefull for melee attacks. But against the right characters, it will totally screw them over.

Last night, I played amumu during a match that had a gangplank and nocturn on the other team. I bought Merc Treads, 2x Warmogs, Thornmail, Force of Nature, and Abysmal Staff. I had about 5.4k of health and tons of armor. Gangplank rushed up to hit me, 1 of his hits did about 100 damage to me, but by that time, I had already taken half of his life bar with thornmail and my aura. Nocturn would dash at me, and kill himself, he was rather stupid. But for the whole game after GP realized that hitting me was hurting him more than me, he would rush at me for a second, then just bolt away. It was way too funny. Also, having over 200hp/5 regen is amazing :p

Actually, Thornmail works against any attack that procs on-hit effects.

yep, including akali's bonus magic damage from auto-attacks but she'll mostly spam q +r+e and repeats the cycle again which why thornmail's useless in general against her (other than her e which procs on-hit effects).

one rage quits after feeding me + almost everyone's getting magic resist just because i was the biggest threat to them

Sent some invites, only heard from shakey so far. In game name is Amoxus in case you deleted my request :p

Gonna try streaming as well, I'm like 7-5 so far in normal SR (got to level 30 playing Dominion lol) so it's pretty low elo. If you wanna watch some baddies or join in hit me up. I also enjoy ARAB and ARAM so I might play those every once in awhile.

Just had a game where I picked support when nobody else did. Went bot with Vayne but a Sivir followed us. Asked him to go top (it was wide open since we had a jungler) but he just ignored us. I went to solo top as Soraka and proceeded to get my ass handed to me by a Graves and Maokai. Jungler eventually disconnects knowing the inevitable and the Sivir sits in base.

This is why I never play SR lol

Thanks for playing with me Emn1ty. I wonder if MM is determined by the host, because those guys were a lot better than the people I end up against solo. Hell, the Ahri I was laning with had over 1000 wins

I might just make a smurf account so I can get more practice in SR with, Playing Dominion only has put me in a completely different strategical mindset.

Yeah, no problem. You were having a bit of a hard time but the game went well overall. The team fights are what ended up winning it, heh.

This was probably my best kassadin game. The other team was whining about how bad Malzahar did when in fact he won his lane and only started to lose mid once I got fed off top, jungle and bot lane after roaming a bit.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By +DDG3595 · Posted

      A lot of uncertainty in this story. Might. Could. Maybe. The truth is we don't know what will happen to the universe in the end, or if it will end. Our own Milky Way galaxy will merge with the Andromeda galaxy in about 2.5 billion years, with our solar system as part of a new, larger cluster. I guess we'll have to and see how it goes down.

      While people can rely on text expansion, it'd be nice to be able to save prompts as aliases. Since AI chatbots need so much provided context to lessen the chance of them going off rails in their response, it'd be nice to be able to start your prompt with a command word that provides all the necessary context that you find yourself often providing. I know there are 'memory' features, including in Gemini, but I still find myself needing to tell it things in each specific conversation for it to give appropriate responses in many contexts. For example, I have it in the memory that I'm running Fedora 44 KDE Plasma 6.7 yet Gemini constantly gives me instructions for older versions. Once I remind it what I'm running, it corrects itself. This isn't something I should need to do every time I prompt it about my setup.
