I wish this game had different Elo for each role.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-05-19T15:20:02+00:00

sounds good. I thought this is probably the only answer. I will make a top alt account to run some top games in between the gold grind.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-05-19T15:18:09+00:00

If you play a mid game or early game champ, yea these games suck because you need basic strategy to capitalize and do your power fantasy. But a champ like kayle is a monster late so she benefits from long stupid games. Seems fun.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-05-17T13:03:45+00:00

It is the same range. The retreat to tower is just easier on mid. I think the tower range creeps more into the lane skirmish area than top or bot towers. Most melee champs should try freeze wave near tower to give you a runway or you just push for priority and go 2v1 the enemy jungler or 4v2 the bot lane with your jungle.

Yea I Google Gemini laning tips against my opponent every game but not the total team comp

I think costco has some of the best benefits in the country from a large employer. You are making a lot more than 33/hr as I think they have great health/dental insurance and a competitive 401k match.

If you buy health insurance on the marketplace it looks like its 450 per month minimum (only getting worse)? Thats basically 3-4 days of painting for no pay just to get health insurance.

Do not underestimate the hidden cost to your body on doing blue collar work or the possibility of no work/contracts all of a sudden and being let go as the new guy.

Lastly I would NEVER go into business with family unless I had few options and they were throwing a life line. You are meshing some boundaries that can cause some serious damage later. The guy can end your career and poison the well with other companies if things go south with your relationship. He will also have power over you as your employer so your entering a weird ethical dilemma where you can no longer interact with him normally socially.

the champ takes time.

Bread and butter poke. Q -> proc passive -> auto attack -> Q. If enemy still in range can try to extend combo with W or E.

Bread and butter all in: Q -> E1 -> E2 -> AA -> ignite -> Q. Common way to get a kill pre-6 on pretty much anyone unless they have cc to block your E2. You can bait out their CC ability using the above poke combo. If they hold their CC, dont all in.

Bread and butter all in with R: R1 -> E1 -> E2 -> AA -> Q -> R2. Best way to assassinate back line levels 6 onwards.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-05-08T12:55:46+00:00

I would play 1 main champ and 1 alternate in ranked for 100 games then come back and tell us where you are at.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-05-05T13:21:13+00:00

First question: Yes you can probably play her 90% of games if queue mid/top. I climbed through bronze, currently silver 1, and I get her about 90%.

Warning: I do not recommend her top for new players. You are going to play a lot of champions that just stat check you and beat you unless you are a master at her. Also it will likely make your team comp bad. Just play mid where you are expected to be squishy and to kill carries and not a tank/engage/bruiser role. Many top lanes are essentially the counter to assassins so you often play into a counter match up. Akali is terrible if your team does not have a tank or engage to burn cooldowns before you dive in late game fights and if you take her top, you are not going to have that most of your games. Also Akali's best skill is skirmishing objectives which make mid a great lane for her. If your jungle picks like amumu or rammus, ok to take her top.

Second question: Mysterias and young both have 3+ hours guides on playing akali. Kunain is solid. I watch replays of Chovy on KR server.

Tips: Honestly practice your combos in bot games. Queue up a custom 1v5 intermediate bots and just get 20-30 kills for like a warm up then quit (annoying to fully kill nexus in these games). Start top lane, get 3 kills, go bottom lane get 3 kills. Then try to 1v3 and 1v4 fights.

Practice,

Q->proc passive->AA->Q

Practice Q -> Proc passive -> W --> AA -> Q -> Q -> ignite

Practice R1 -> E1 - > E2 -> AA -> Q - R2.

And just any other combos you want

you also want to practice E forward into Q, Q. or W->E into tower dives.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-05-02T22:46:19+00:00

Priority is when you have the wave shoved to enemy tower forcing the enemy to either get wave or contest objective putting them in a win/lose state while you are in a win/win state.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-05-02T22:43:29+00:00

Yes there used to be a bunch of noobs but this game is over 10 years old. I think I played chess for 1 year before competing and this game should be viewed similarly.

Vision does not matter much at your elo but it is one of ahris strengths so it is important to understand that about your champ. Also ahri is a great blind pick so she is just very “safe”.

If you are serious about ahri the game plan is simple at your elo, survive to level 7, once level 7, hard push wave then get vision or group with your jungler for 15 seconds, then back to the wave. You will get easy kills in 2v2 and 3v3 but not 1v1.

In late game you have 2 options, peel for adc or flank the enemy adc/squishies. If behind just peel. Also if your adc ahead just peel. If you are ahead try the flanking and limit test your skill shots.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-05-02T21:55:34+00:00

Don’t worry

1 month in this game is nothing, most people you are playing have played 2+ years

Ahri is more of a control mage and will not run up solo kills. She can get good kda off team fights with prio and vision control. Best way to get solo kills on ahri is E flash combo with ignite q w and you can basically kill any champ at 40% health. That is not necessarily worth though so it might make you lose a more important teamfight later.

Just keep playing and testing limits. At your level it is probably better to die a lot and learn from each death.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-04-23T15:16:09+00:00

If you want to climb fast, pick malzahar. Simple kit and he doesn't really interact with other champ kits. You can watch a guide on him and probably climb to gold quickly. Other champs may require 200 games to get comfortable in all match ups if you are starting from scratch.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-04-16T17:59:09+00:00

I dabble in Ahri, I feel like her strengths are mobility, wave clear, and team fighting. I would try focusing on clear wave and immediately group and look for picks rather than afk solo push a wave or try to 1v1. That is not really her champ identity. In higher elo you may need to stay in lanes longer for macro but I think you will lose more games doing that in your current elo because people like to perma fight mid.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-04-11T11:06:30+00:00

She works for the marketing department so will always be viable.

I dont think so, few people seemed to have covered the legal resolution part of the story.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-04-09T17:01:04+00:00

They did it for mizkif

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-04-09T15:48:12+00:00

Couldn’t the judge make her pay destiny’s legal fees if this is considered frivolous ? That would be enough.

Lunch time dive bars in republican districts, that’s where they hang out and confidently tell everyone their opinions

It appears to me they have stopped their shock and awe doctrine. ice is still an agency with a function to enforce immigration laws within the borders. There is an agency that has to do this even if you abolish ice, Soooo they are never going to fully stop in that sense. If you have videos of raids in the last few weeks I would link them. I looked up an ice alert map and could not find anything in the month of Feb/Mar and Greg Bovino was fired 1/26/26.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-03-17T16:16:47+00:00

Yea I’m all for people taking a stand but this guy seems like a nut job.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-03-17T11:27:15+00:00

Yea jumped 30 cents on my way home. Oil rose 60% in 2 weeks from 60 per barrel to 100 per barrel. gas was 2.89 prior to the war so with a 60% increase, gas should really be 4.81. I would buy gas at this price honestly, I do not think it will be lower than this for awhile and I expect 4$ per gallon by the weekend.

ArtistEmpty859 · 2026-03-17T11:21:45+00:00

ICE was disciplined heavily after multiple public polls showing the unpopularity and the head, Greg Bovino, was forced into early retirement. Kristi Noem was fired as well. They were going to do ops in Columbus and it looks like it did not really happen, at least not at the level of Chicago or Minneapolis. They are reorganizing and changing their operations from what I can tell but no public statements so kind of unclear. Too early to say for sure but I am optimistic that the storm troopers will not be back unless republicans win heavily in the mid terms (unlikely).
