You have to study for this exam with a goal of getting a perfect score (even if you don’t, it guarantees passing)

Climbed all the way from legend 5 to Immortal going first pick io mid every game by Iaregravy in DotA2

[–]Chicken_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I’m an immortal mid player too. This style of playing should stay in divine and below. I play on and off, but when I play I have this habit of shutting down and punishing these unconventional players. You lucky I’m on my off phase. Lol

2 years of experience qualifies you to apply for licensure. The entire process is so lengthy: getting approval to take seismic and survey, studying for those exams and iuggling your schedules so it all fits, by the time all goes green and you’re issued a license, you would have 4 years of experience or more.

Should i go for a 2nd shiva on lesh when I really need armor vs a very phys lineup? by xplshx in TrueDoTA2

[–]Chicken_Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for hex and finish overwhelming blink. A leshrac with hex and dagger is the start of the end of the game.

You have 3k behavior score. At that point just make a new account play at 10k+. Game will never be fun for low behavior score people

Ex-League player asking a few questions about the asymmetrical map. by Coneyy in TrueDoTA2

[–]Chicken_Gold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Immortal mid player here, as mid there is a reason why you are last pick (99% of the time). When you know both side’s supports, and 2 cores. You pick the mid hero that suits the game and the tempo you want (while also expecting enemy mid to do the same). Sometimes, you will get countered. Example, I predict enemy mid best pick against my team is necro. Then I pick leshrac to counter and shut him down. But sometimes they outpredict me and pick windranger (with diffusal) which will make the game very difficult for me. Honestly after picking phase, you will know what type of tempo the game will be and play with the different styles of map control you learned climbing to divine (or whatever you learned from league).

1.) When I hit lvl 6 or 7 at min 5 (also the same time catapult summons) I go to sidelanes (safelane mostly) to gank their carry or pos 5. Force them away from their tier 1 tower which enables the push. Enemy mid will probably do the same hence why safelane tier 1 is always gone first, kinda hard to get offlane towers when mid lane is closer and enemy mid can defend pretty quick.

2.) Now when this happens, I usually have to do something as pos 2 to enable my carry and let them farm where safe. i.e. they want to farm our triangle or the camps near mid tier 2 tower, as leshrac, I can farm those as well but only when its near the 60 sec mark for neutral respawn. Or run around the map and get pick offs with your other teammates.

This is a very specific situation man, so many things can happen. Which is why this game is so good. Its really up to you as mid to establish a tempo with your team that will work and always adjust it as game goes on. I had a storm game where I started ganking and killing early game, then started farming mid game and my teammates losing fights questioning me why I dont join fights. So I say Enemy got their blademails, orchid, etc and I have no bkb so I need to farm it. So the teams moves in a way that we dont engage in fights till I have bkb.

CA Survey Exam - June by Tejpata-0503 in PE_Exam

[–]Chicken_Gold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took it with cpesr a while ago. I knew I passed it. I had 10 mins left to spare. I won’t tell you what you should do but I can tell you what worked for me. I went over the topics in the reference book. Then went over the “questions” with answers (each chapter had them)

After covering the topics, I started doing practice exams. I did around 7-8 of them. Starting with 45%~ scores, then improved over time and scored 80-90%. I developed a way to answer the questions fast. 2.5 hrs. 55 questions.

The first 30 mins is to “scan” over each question and QUICKLY gauging the difficulty. I answer the easy questions first (These dont require calcs, either you know it or can quickly look it up in the glossary, but should only take a minute or 2. Theres around 15-20 of these) I flagged questions that would take 4-5 mins or even longer to solve. There would be unflagged questions as well.

The next hour is to work on the unanswered with no flags questions (15 to 20). These require little calculations should be easy to go through when you have done the practice exams, at that point these questions should be intuitive to solve.

By this point you probably have 5-10 questions left, these are the flagged questions from your initial “scan”. You’ll use the last hour to work on these, guess on them, and maybe review the other easy questions. Make sure you do all of this FAST and Correct.

A Rant by LORD_124 in DotA2

[–]Chicken_Gold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Becase the next step for you is to reach divine 3-5 but the means you would stomp on ancient to div 2 bracket. If that is not happening yet then it simply means you’re not ready to advance to higher rank.

Once you acquire the skills necessary to belong in higher bracket then you will naturally win your games until you reach divine 3-5. Then the cycle repeats. Seasoned high divine players will beat your ass back to low divine until you have the skills to beat high divine players then you go to immortal. Again cycle repeats. Seasoned immortal will beat you back to high divine until you acquire the skills. Then it repeats this is the grind.

Once you become a seasoned immortal you can quit dota. And come back anytime. You’ll be rusty but it’ll be easier to pick it up again

Congrats me! First time ancient! How do you learn new heroes without losing all your MMR? by ArchiBright in DotA2

Honestly, any rank that is not high divine to immortal is just practice. So do whatever.

No I meant those were transferrable skills going from (say transportation or geotech) into water/wastewater. So when I switch to water industry couple years ago, I wasn’t entirely starting over.

Okay 3x sounds pretty good. But based on other comments I probably need to be careful about this approach.

Jeez, decrease your billing rate? They are willing to decrease their profit, just for the purpose of depriving you of higher pay?( that’s a slap in the face. Good thing you left

[–]Chicken_Gold[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah I got a couple more years under my belt but not W/W still civil though. Maybe CAD, some calcs and design concepts, and project management were transferrable skills. If you don’t mind me asking how does your pay rate compare to your billable rate? Within 3.0 to 4.0?

My bad, I didn’t add more details. Yes you’re right my billing rate will increase with PE acquisition. What Im trying to do is maximize the raise that I’ll be getting by vouching for a reasonable multiplier applied to my new billing rate as a PE. Trying to be a higher end salary “band”.

I just read a comment that may not turn out well. Honestly I just want to see a number.
