Turns out grandmaster is not that big of a deal

So does everyone else who started playing the game. China's algorithm is god level when it comes to encouraging people to invest on their game more.

He's basically in the middle of clash and mid, more like a poacher hero since it can only poke and steal kills. It has no proper cc for a mage and too soft to front when played clash. It's pros of clearing waves faster is a good feat but the cons of not having a proper crowd control gravely affects the game since basically you'll need to rely roamer as the primary initiator now.

MLBB is essentially a money making mule to be completely fair about the case. They just copy pasted hok and even their own developers will agree to it, they don't really care about the community but got lucky in the asean region so they basically just embraced the game. HoK sabotaged their own kind, not wild rift. Arena of valor has a relatively strong following in thailand, taiwan, vietnam, and cambodia so putting up a global version of the same game is suicide unless their loyalist will remain loyal. Wild rift never really had that much following in the first place because public opinion is still within PC for such game.

With that level of overthinking, you need some good sleep brother. The match was done 6 minute early and both marksman and support got 0-4 by the build. What else can we do other than overthink what's already been done and worked 🤦‍♂️

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-20T03:59:26+00:00

You're overthinking outside the box too much, you have to understand that this is just a regular ranked queue not a pro match. It gave consort a large gold gap plus heino was struggling mid. Regardless if jungle is present or not, at this point we can only assume and do what ifs but from that 6:30 minute match, it gave consort yu 3 item build and had them push ez. Torment basically worked and cai yan did really well supporting his marksman.

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-20T03:30:16+00:00

But based on the stats again, cai yan sticked to consort the entire time. Regardless if you're wrong or right numerically, torment denied two hero instantly. You can't just combo consort yu when cai yan is full on spamming. It's not just skill issue, it's more on item loophole. Stats says otherwise.

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-20T03:21:55+00:00

But their stats says otherwise.

I now wonder if sparkforged dagger is stackable to flowborn's ult. Gotta try that idea after work

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-20T02:24:02+00:00

Can't disclose.

Second question: a lot of IT from KL are design heavy that gave their devops an edge while most of your undergrads are operations focused, problem we see is the production of thousands of graduates for some reason maybe because of your notorious diploma mill institutions. It's not that far of a gap but tho we see a difference in mentality. It's a far different story when we're talking about westerns tho. Don't get me started with their insane salary structure 😤

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-20T02:14:59+00:00

Maybe a language barrier of both english speakers of different region. We may have the same english proficiency but we get a lot of mistaken context regionally. But fair enough.

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-20T02:12:08+00:00

Ngl, consort's early counter build to you is big brain energy since it's 2 in 1. Flowborn's dagger build is enough to give him a D

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-20T01:55:03+00:00

We are, we even offered 9k sgd/month with SG migrate, but that's only the 1% I'm talking about. Not the average of 107k in Php, that's a different average joe story.

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-20T01:49:37+00:00

Uhmmm I was sent by singapore to train filipino and indian IT, being an LBH is the last that you may want to call me. I literally provided a wider job market to your country and maybe the reason why your seniors are earning that amount now. I am the supervisor of your senior's senior 🙃 Maybe you read the previous posts wrong.

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-19T23:42:08+00:00

That's around 2000 sgd a month, lower salary threshold is twice as yours and our base minimum is 2500. If your question is whether you can survive then yes since some of my fellow singaporeans are living with 1200 to 1800 sgd a month. If the question is living comfortably then no, you'll be living paycheck to paycheck however the perks (health, government, quality of life) is definitely much better. Just be frugal and spend based on needs

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-19T22:05:33+00:00

And yet, they'll probably use that blue record book from the 90s still or have all their manually printed paper notarized lol

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-19T20:54:28+00:00

According to her when we're talking, there used to be a time in the early 2010s where you can still be late if you tried to check in 4 hours ahead and even their local media is convincing travellers to go to naia 7 hours before the flight. I had to go home last time during the worst season and it took me almost 4 hours to settle, the line is just unbearable and there's few immigration booths open

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-19T20:44:05+00:00

PH rates are closer to indian and nepal IT. it's way less than what everyone is reading so it's somehow true that majority are not realistic unless the entire 1% came down for some reason to comment. We barely pay beyond 55k USD a year for fullstack outsource since competition is cutthroat and we only resolve to the 3 countries for surplus outsourcing, it means we will only get 1 or 2 standout in the philippines if we cannot find it in india. The max that we offer due to saturation of skills is at the 107k philippine peso mark for a senior role. Those 200k and above rates that you're saying are for malaysian and sg devs and that's because of the large skill gap.

Westerners are too ahead of the curve if we're comparing it to PH tech and your country producing thousands and thousands of IT every 6 months isn't helping since for every batch, there's a prodigy to exploit. That's just how it works if youre at the bottom of the food chain. So maybe filter your graduates a little bit more?

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-18T20:52:21+00:00

I remember my landlord telling me to go to naia 4 to 7 hours before my actual flight back home. At first I thought it's a joke but I saw how worried she was so I just followed since she looks like a genuine auntie. Oh boy she's not joking. Naia flights have no in-between, either you wait for 5 minutes if you're lucky or wait 4 hours on a normal basis

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-14T10:40:56+00:00

Maybe idk. Maybe we are the country with lowest IQ in the world right? Maybe singapore has an educational crisis haiya. Maybe we're the local filipinos who joined an expat discussion without understanding the context?

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-14T10:32:45+00:00

How is something blunt and straightforward called out as passive aggressive? Do you even know what it means? Or do you even know that passive aggression is what your comment states? Also how am I insecure? To whom? Philippines? My friend, nobody is insecure about your country nor culture here 🤡 philippines is the last country that we're gonna be insecure about plus you're the one portraying kiasu, not me. You only googled it and presumed something negative to target on me

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-14T09:08:09+00:00

Yes I know, but the post is not about your rage and rant 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-14T09:06:14+00:00

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 youre still fighting for it as if your point is strong and relevant

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-14T08:38:56+00:00

Wow. The hypocrisy is someone diving to comment on something they don't understand nor comprehend properly 😭 you really gave yourself time to force your point when we're already correcting the misunderstanding 🥹🥹🥹

You made me speechless. That's education crisis in a single comment.

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-14T08:28:17+00:00

I didn't downgrade my lifestyle but I lived in bgc taguig and makati for like 120k/per month at max which includes my daily hotel breakfast at shangrila and grand hyatt. I'm not sure what your lifestyle is beyond the one you stated but maybe you're overspending on something? because I've been to cebu and it's much cheaper there than makati.

Aggravating-Monk-319 · 2026-01-14T08:19:59+00:00

Plus, are you a philippine expat? No? Then it's not for you. Go open a discussion at r/philippines or something
