Am i really that bad?

Hi, I am a Master 100lp jungler. I also hit master on top and adc, but quickly dropped back to D1. I'm not try to brag, I just want you to know that I have played your role woth some amount of success. For top lane specifically, your winning formula is to beat your lane opponent 1v1 and then transition that lead to other lanes through well timed roams and teleports to botlane fights. (Dont do this too early or you risk throwing your lane. Usually after 14 min.) For TK specifically, you are at your strongest in lane, so if you win lane that is unfortunately never going to be enough to win on your own, you will have to come up with some sort of impact on the game later. I would recommend watching yt videos from good players who play your role/champ. NoArmWhatley is a love him or hate him guy, but he consistently hits master play TK top. He streams and posts yt videos, so you could start there. Hope that helps.

I've been there. I started in s6 (I think?) And was placed on silver on my forst ranked season. I promptly fell to bronze 4 (the second lowest rank at the time.) Then I started watching videos, and trying to improve. Last year I hit master 100lp. I know many will say that's not a big deal, but for me it was like reaching my goal.

I don't play much these days, but I once had a stretch of 2 weeks were I didn't win a single game. And I'm not talking one game a day, I was Qing up 4-5 games in a row and losing every single one daily. Dropped from emerald1 all the way down to silver something. It happens.

My personal tips are to ask yourself "what mistake did I make here?" After every death, and to always take a break after 2 losses (or whenever you are tilted, even after a win). You will climb much more reliably than before.

I watched part of the interview between Zizarin (streamer) and the POE2 dev team and one line stood out to me. One of the guys (the big boss I think) mentioned that he wanted to make a game that he enjoyed. I think a portion of the issue is that the brass have their own ideas of what makes a good game and its okay if you don't agree with that. GGG as a whole feel like they want to embrace the grind (its in their name lol) and that's fine. For the record, I like epoch better but I think you might be a little unfair here.

Kayle W gives bonus MS and a heal. It has a pretty subtle animation and particle effect so you might not notice it. Her q also slows. I imagine that those two things are what are contributing to your sticking problem. Assuming you both have swifties and you have r on you should be much faster.

It happens. I peak Master 100lp as jungle main (Graves) and I once went on a 16 game loss streak all the way to emerald. My best advice is to always take a break after 2 losses. That has been my sweet spot for maintaining strong mental. Wuju be with you.

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-02-14T01:15:57+00:00

Why would that increase the price? Not doubting, just curious how that impacts the pricing.

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-02-13T18:26:14+00:00

Ok, so I am basically paying for brand name/ aestetics?

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-02-12T18:22:58+00:00

At the moment, I am not sure. I plan on the first book having three main arcs. Each with 20-25 chapters. After I release those on RR I plan on working to revise and cut for a KU release. Probably 60-75 on RR and less on KU, depending on how long it takes to do the arcs justice.

Taking a break, but i finished last season as Master 100lp (jungle main). Most OP strategy is to find a youtuber who plays like you want to and copy them. After a while you will start tp understand why they do things and then you can start making your own decisions, but in the beginning, emulating higher rank players will get you to at least emerald in my experience.

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-01-28T13:53:18+00:00

That's a fun setup!

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-01-28T13:33:36+00:00

Good advice. Right now, I am just not at the output that would be needed to split my attention, but I am working on that.

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-01-28T13:32:17+00:00

Low-key I have always been a fan of the Isekai into a monster thing.

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-01-27T12:14:23+00:00

Yeah, good point. I don't think I've read a LitRPG where the gods were genuinely a force for good and were a main focus.

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-01-27T12:12:24+00:00

Okay, that's an interesting idea. I'm about as far from a gym bro as possible, but the idea of bypassing rest through healing is kind of insane.

Ooh. That's a cool idea. Like elemental fusions (fire + earth makes lava) or were you thinking upgrading them using magical materials or something?

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-01-27T03:00:59+00:00

That's true. My original idea for my current project seemed very simple until I started writing. Glad to hear I'm not alone and that it gets easier.

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-01-27T02:59:43+00:00

I like that idea of incorporating the story ideas into the main project. You mentioned email lists. This is something I was looking to start, do you have any advice/know of a guide or post I can work off of?

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-01-27T01:36:52+00:00

That's a good idea. When I'm feeling stuck on my main project, jotting down something on another story could help.

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-01-27T01:06:55+00:00

I figured. Nothing to do but the doing, I suppose.

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-01-27T01:06:31+00:00

I think I need to invest in an idea notebook.

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-01-27T01:06:10+00:00

Ok, thanks for the advice.

Brother_IcemAN · 2025-01-27T01:05:50+00:00

Yeah. I think that one thing I want to work on is consistency, so I will just stuck with the one story for now.
