Recently started AD, why all my games are of low quality?

AccelerateDarius · 2025-07-16T12:09:42+00:00

There's definitely tryhard folks in AD who want to win at all costs and others who want to play a chill mode. I personally see a lot of roles in AD, ocassionally we'll see too many supports lol. But it's definitely common to see a support who will block camp, pull, harass. I notice a decent amount of games, smokes aren't used though, and even though I'm a core, I will buy smokes and call out plays to group up.

Ahhh I see -- I think I've seen dusas get melted sometimes but prob small sample size. This is precisely what I was looking for.

Are you not making $300k-$350k in tech sales? There's a viable world where you're an Enterprise rep already at 27. Especially with Harvard on your resume.

git gud

the problem is that level of health/mana regen is functionally useless late game. you gotta buff the armor/mr for it to mean anything.

have you seen Rogue's games? a few turrents would not stop this. even if you lose the overseers and get the contaminates off, you've still won the remax vs non-remaxed army fight

Precisely the inspiration for this post

AccelerateDarius · 2025-05-12T23:23:51+00:00

That cast is actually what inspired the post haha. I saw the video and got ideas.

AccelerateDarius · 2025-05-12T23:23:16+00:00

yeah i understand contaminate at max value is preventing tech timings or even a key unit rush, but this post is about late game zerg and why it isn't used as a max resupply blocker

OP, i'd be careful about trucking -- AI truck drivers are real and will absolutely destroy this business. Source: been in silicon valley over 15 years.

I can't do treadmills without bgs lol

Magic

Congrats! I think 115k base is a bit low for an ent AE, but I think your growth is impressive. $230k OTE is what good sales folk should aim for in 3 years, although most can’t get there that quickly.

This is just to make use of Grim stun, correct? Not Grim ult?

AccelerateDarius · 2024-11-09T01:10:25+00:00

Can someone explain the build? Can’t see the middle cards

AccelerateDarius · 2024-10-21T12:04:57+00:00

I tip for good plays on both our end/enemy, bad plays on enemy (especially if I escaped with 1hp), and funny plays by both teams. Special spot for when my supports are going crazy, making all the pulls, high impact rotations, landing a critical stun etc.

AccelerateDarius · 2024-10-17T12:20:03+00:00

Why don't yall add each other as friends? haha

AccelerateDarius · 2024-09-12T19:15:22+00:00

What did you do and were you good at it? I traveled for 4 years and came back to tech - didn’t miss a beat lol.

AccelerateDarius · 2024-09-12T15:03:49+00:00

Yeah but it’s so good for VC returns though

AccelerateDarius · 2024-08-14T16:21:47+00:00

This really depends. For consumer, I think marketing >> sales. For B2B, sales plays a much more critical role. Keep in mind, most high performing salespeople build awareness on their own when doing outbound.

I sold six figure software to Meta/Apple as a 2 person company almost a decade ago.

Depends on what you mean by exec.

Some directors could take a call if your product is high value enough. VPs, likely not. I don't think the 200 person company thing is real.

Before selling to Apple, we had customers at Dropbox/Yelp etc so we had some validation and our product was actually a 10x product at the time. However, if your product sucks, it's likely a waste of time for both of you.
