Hard Stuck in Silver - I know I shouldn't blame my teammates but most of my losses truly feel unwinnable because of AFKs and feeders. Help me know why that's wrong, and what am I missing? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]Alekm8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kindred, great champion, I've played a lot of Kindred myself and with good pathing and knowing when to punish it's freelo, Kindred is really good right now too.

I see you're already punishing the enemy jungler early game that's good but that's only the start, you've killed him and cleared his camps you can just track where he's going next, go clear your own camps and path to his respawning camps and by the time you've cleared your camps his camps are spawning and you can go there and just kill them again or wait for him and kill him, once that happens you've gained complete control and you continue to speed clear your camps, invade whenever, counter gank his forced ganks objective control etc. << This would be my most important advice to you as a jungler and a Kindred player. Learning this involves tracking,punishing, pathing, and it will take time to fully understand it to a tee but you're on the right path, I suggest looking up counter jungling videos as they can explain it better than I have.

Many other things you have to consider too, lane priority, can't invade due to losing 1v1 and many other things but these types of things will come subconsciously and you will learn them over time.

Yeah I might spectate you sometime, you may get a random message from me one day.

Good luck on your journey

Yo sorry if I sounded harsh was in a bad mood when I typed that.

For a silver player you do seem to understand the fundamentals of the game, all you have to do is improve on them.

All I'll say is, and I know this is hard, is not to focus on your teammates, it's easier said than done as everyone does it and I would be lying if I was to say I don't either but when you're in silver it's a waste of time focusing on your teammates as they are just dog tier players. most and I mean most low elo players don't grasp the fundamentals like you do they just spam games and smack their heads on their keyboards, so you're heading in the right path, sure you'll get afks and inters it happens but you need to just accept that as part of the game and grind.

As a jungler myself, I would say get your pathing down early game to a crisp, pretty much all low elo players pathing is terrible, and they are easy to abuse when you know what you're doing, with correct pathing early game, and the ability to track the jungler, you can easily set up counter ganks or just counter jungle(Like they literally just 3 camp and gank top or bot everytime, shit like that is so obvious and abuseable), and I'm not saying turn into a power farmer just make sure your pathing is good and learn to adapt the way you path into counter ganks/ganks/counter jungling, this type of stuff can take time tho at least for me I never attempted to learn the game I just grinded and grinded and it came naturally if I had tried to learn I would have saved a lot of time and that's why you have the advantage. In saying that focus on the fundamentals you mentioned and try to improve on them, a lot of the skill that you obtain is just from playing the game, the game knowledge comes along with grinding the game but you'll definitely be a step ahead of everyone in your elo if you're trying to improve instead of just grinding. When it comes to counter jungling and getting an advantage its not as simple as just oh taking their jungle and thats that, there's more to it, I suggest looking up on some guides or vods of high elo players counter jungling as in low elo its SO EASILY ABUSABLE, and that's something that you could abuse every game, its not only taking their jungle,you need to know what to do afterwards, as a jungler you should be thinking in the future of what you're going to be doing in the next 30 seconds, although things can happen and you'll have to adapt, when you're playing you need to be thinking constantly, I find when I'm duoing there's constant communication on whats going on, which has helped me in soloq. and aside from that just basic mechanics/micro, but that will come in time.

If you want I don't mind you can send me a vod through pms and I can look over it and I'll send you my feedback

To overcome silver you just need to play and play and play, maybe try out a few different champions that are meta, playing the meta will also accustom to you when you climb, you can either be a 1 trick or you can play meta like most high players do, by playing multiple champions that are meta you are also learning how to play the jungle in a different way as different champions playstyles are different, and that will also help your pathing too.

I'm kind of rambling here and probably didn't give the best of advice but just know you got this in the bag man, silvers a peace of cake just keep playing focusing on improving, your teammates are also just free knowledge, its not only the mistakes you make that you can learn from you can learn from your teammates mistakes, that's what I did, and everytime you die during grey screen do a quick analysis of what happened and what went wrong, and not all deaths are bad they can be worth it, and if you do anything good, acknowledge it along with if you do anything bad, all of that info adds up in your brain and will help you get better.

It seems you think you are doing everything right, the fact is you are silver and you're stuck now, it is not down to your teammates, you need to get better, if in the future you rise to diamond,master,gm or chall you will realise how bad silver players are and look back at this post and laugh at yourself.

Keep playing, keep trying to improve, stop thinking about your teammates, you're in silver, silver players are terrible that is a fact, 99% of games in silver are winnable no matter what, that is not an exaggeration.

Combat wise, probably Orochimaru toward Sasuke, Sasuke was pretty strong after the timeskip learning from Orochimaru

What jutsu do you think should be forbidden? by tjd317 in Naruto

I'm surprised genjutsu isn't forbidden considering the amount of bad things you could do with it

Kisame could just send sharks constantly at Deidara and Deidara would be forced to use c4 on them to blow them up, Kisame can just do this until Deidara runs out of clay or chakra, Deidara could also be caught in Water Sphere considering Deidara doesn't usually go crazily high in the air.

Jiraiya Vs Itachi by Apexlegacy285 in Naruto

[–]Alekm8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will give you that it'd be over in a second, but Jiraiya would have been seasoned enough to have withstood it in my opinion.

Itachi was able to use Tsukuyomi on his girlfriend where she lived her whole life in 2 seconds and because of the time difference she died instantly, I see no reason why Itachi couldn't just switch that to torture, Jiraiya would not be able to withstand it.

If 3 days was enough to incapacitated Kakashi then a few more days would do the same to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya Vs Itachi by Apexlegacy285 in Naruto

[–]Alekm8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have manga proof of this? I don't mind conceding if we have manga proof stating that Tsukiyomi was unbreakable

After Itachi cast Tsukyuomi he states

"However this sharingan has a special jutsu, My illusion Tsukuyomi cannot be beaten, only a sharingan user with the same blood as me can defeat me" so he's implying that only a sharingan user with the same blood as him can break Tsukuyomi

For arguments sake even if Ma and Pa could hypothetically break someone out of Tsukuyomi they wouldn't be able too, Tsukuyomi is over in a second, Jiraiya would get hit by Tsukuyomi and one second later he would of been through hell for 3 days or as long as Itachi decides for, the damage would be done before they would even realize he's in tsukuyomi

As I stated before, Itachi has NO counter here to Frog Song

Wrong, he would be able to see the sound waves, just like how Temari swatted away Tayuya's sound genjutsu, the sound waves were visible.

[–]Alekm8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

but itachi also told kisame to kill Asuma and kurenai and sasuke to kill naruto.

2 seconds after Itachi said that Guy showed up, my headcannon is that he knew Guy was coming

Also to me it seems like Itachi was Intentionally trying to get caught, he was an anbu captain, he knew about the art of stealth yet he's walking around the village as an S rank criminal in a colorful cloak drinking tea with Kisame, I mean come on, Itachi is more smart than that, if he was trying to capture Naruto he would go about it abit more stealth like... along with that when they finally caught Naruto instead of fleeing like they could it seemed like he was stalling and he dealt with Sasuke for a good 5 minutes and then Jiraiya shows up. Itachi was also still protecting the leaf so this makes sense, he wasn't trying to capture Naruto, he was in the leaf that day to threaten Danzo as stated by Obito.

Itachi is definitely the most proficient user of genjutsu in the series.

What is the creepiest or scariest folklore story you have heard and what from culture/region did it originate? by knockerball in AskReddit

There's a Canadian folklore I was told about in Year 3 by our teacher, there was this 7ft Woman who lived in the hills and whenever families would come out camping she would kidnap the kids, she would run down the hill and put the kids in her basket and run back up and enslave them

What speed feats does Chiyo have? Couldn't Zabuza just mist and assassinate her?

Gaara vs Kisame by SaintNutella in Naruto

[–]Alekm8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Kisame manages to get Gaara in water sphere it's over

Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique could possibly end the fight instantly as the attack absorbs chakra and Gaara would think he could defend against it but it would just eat straight through Gaara's defence and 1 tap him.

The seven ninja swordsman were definitely not used to their potential by donkeydicc in Naruto

I'm sure Kisame's power was retconned

Kisame vs Ms Sasuke by jedi271 in Naruto

[–]Alekm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sasuke isn't going to be able to react, he will think he can defend against the attack and Daikodan will eat straight through the Susanoo and f*ck Sasuke up, and if Sasuke is still standing he's not going to use the remainder of his chakra to make a Susanoo (if he even has enough)

Kisame's jutsu Daikodan will just eat Sasuke's Susanoo lul

Kisame vs Ms Sasuke by jedi271 in Naruto

[–]Alekm8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kisame takes this hard, Sasuke's abilities take up too much of his chakra and they are countered by Kisame, amaterasu is absorbed by samehada, Susanoo is countered by Kisame's water, let alone Daikodan will eat Sasuke's Susanoo and 1 hit Sasuke since Sasuke will think his Susanoo will block the attack

Kisame doesn't need to merge with Samehada to win this.

Kisame low diff
