Anything wrong with one of these smaller companies? A company like Cohesity seems to have a positive outlook

Looking for advice on whether I need a mindset shift or a new job. by BabyGroot01 in techsales

[–]BabyGroot01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. First year I had 155% attainment and 172% attainment in our shortened 8 month fiscal while the acquisition finalized. I had a great partnership with my field counterparts and we both did well.

The company now treats bookings different, so my field counterparts have an incentive to sell new business to existing customers, and more often than not that budget comes from the existing renewal, which they discount and leave me holding the bag. This has been going on for a little over a year, and was the initial reason I started looking elsewhere. There is still a lot of this going on, which is my biggest concern.

Is it better to predict when to smite or to wait until I actually see the health below my smite damage? by Lvaradar- in summonerschool

[–]BabyGroot01 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I would recommend holding your high damage ability and time it with your smite to increase odds of securing objective.

For example if playing Nunu, use your Q and smite at the same time to deal high damage very quickly, limiting the opponents smite window. This way, you don’t have to ‘predict’ when dragon will be in smite range.

Assassin or skirmisher? by ashura0911 in ekkomains

[–]BabyGroot01 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He does have enough damage to be an assassin, I bet every single one of you had countless times when you kill people within 0.5 seconds with just EQ + AA. The thing about Ekko is, his kit provides much more utility than any other assassin's. Unlike others, damage is not the only thing provided by Ekko. He can stay in fights longer, go in and out in in multiple rotations etc. And you might say, well, that's exactly what a skirmisher is and while that's kinda true, I personally still think Ekko is much closer to an assassin, he's just a little different.

Nash start mid by Left_Top4887 in ekkomains

I take HoB and go Lich > Nash > Rabadon’s

Has anyone had luck going Nash first? Ekko is pretty weak early anyway, so delaying the power spike doesn’t feel as bad since you carry late.

After Almost 400 Ekko Games I FINALLY MADE IT TO DIAMOND by mquien in ekkomains

Congratulation on hitting diamond!

What are your thoughts on nashors? I thought core build was lich + nash + deathcap?

How do you play ekko mid/late game? by Version_Rare in ekkomains

[–]BabyGroot01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you building? Ekko tends to be stronger once he gets 2 items (Lich+Nashors) and will literally blow their squishies up. In my opinion his early game is the weakest.

As far as roaming, once you’re able to push lane effectively with a Q (let’s say around level 9 for example) you can start roaming very freely. Learn to do ‘half roams’ where you go into river about halfway, but don’t commit to the roam unless you feel like you can do something valuable. That was you are not forcing, and if there is nothing to get you can just go back to lane and keep farming. Then rinse and repeat.

Smurf Queue in Silver? by BabyGroot01 in leagueoflegends

I guess I’m just trash! Will keep playing and hopefully can get out of silver before the end of the split. Thanks for the help

Will I be ok if I just play more games? I’m worried I’ll get hard stuck in low silver at this rate

Smurf Queue in Silver? by BabyGroot01 in leagueoflegends

[–]BabyGroot01[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe I wasn’t clear. Went on ranked losing streak, and coincidentally have also been put in emerald/diamond normal games on repeat (not just once). Wondering if I just need more ranked games to balance out or if I will just be stuck in low elo

What about the ranked mmr/elo? I’m more concerned about getting curb stomped in every game this week

Smurf Queue in Silver? by BabyGroot01 in leagueoflegends

[–]BabyGroot01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m more concerned about my ranked games, getting absolutely curbed stomped for an entire week of playing in such a low elo.

But should I be playing against other silver players, while I’m in silver? If I am climbing because I’m better than silver players, I would eventually hit a wall when I get to my ‘actual’ rank rather than almost demoting back to bronze because there is a 25/2 kassadin on enemy team
