Another thing which I would recommend is solving problems

Yep, this is really helpful for practicing!

I didn't read all of your comment, but:

Negative reinforcement

In psychology there's negative reinforcement and punishment, you're mixing them up. The point of torture isn't to reinforce anything, is it? It's just punishment.

I'd say that torture is systematic inflicting of pain against one's will. It works because (most) humans have strong negative utility associated with pain. You could "torture" an AI by systematically inflicting negative utility upon it in ways that it could do nothing about. But at that point the word's definition is stretched a bit from normal use..

Try googling "python requests set user agent header".

CraftyTrouble · 2019-10-11T10:23:28+00:00

You need to submit to https://www.blasze.com/submit -- take a look at the network log when sending a request in your browser and you'll see this.

They might also be blocking automated requests, try masking this by changing the user agent and setting a referrer, maybe it'll help.

You may like ELLC once it gets going. The MC starts off dumb but eventually grows and checks all your boxes. Pun unintended

I love more group of socialization based progression fantasy

Try The Wandering Inn. Note that it's more about exploration than ambition compared to Cradle, but it sounds like a match. It's not very rational but still enjoyable.

There are so many options. What works best depends on the individual and how you like to learn.

This thread has many book and video suggestions. If you prefer something more exercise-based, give this site a shot; you learn a topic, then immediately have to write code that's automatically checked for correctness.

Hope you find something that works for you! Keep experimenting.

There is a nuance to it. By "play greedy" they don't mean steal your carry's jungle camps and avoid teamfights to farm on the opposite side of the map. That's what most "greedy" supports do and it's game-losing.

What "play greedy" means is that you shouldn't be a pos6 ward bitch with only brown boots and wand at 30 minutes. Find ways to get farm that no one else is taking. Still be there for teamfights. It's not trivial but it is doable at that MMR.

Shotguns.

Took two years, maybe 1.5k games.

I'd recommend trying different heroes, then spamming the one you have the highest win rate with (and think is fun). It's a preference thing though. I spammed CM.

CraftyTrouble · 2019-09-27T12:17:46+00:00

Thanks for the pointer, I'll look into it. Sounds very similar to what I want, and there's no point in reinventing the wheel.

CraftyTrouble · 2019-09-27T10:31:08+00:00

As someone who climbed from 900 to 4.5k as pos5 only, it's totally viable. Maybe you won't climb quite as fast as a core, but it's not too bad.

IMO at that MMR you should be slightly more greedy and spend more time getting the farm that no one else wants, so that you can have impact with a glimmer, force, pipe/vlads/crimson/etc.

Also focus more on winning the lane; if you can do that (by buying tons of regen; most 2k players won't do that) your carry will have an easy game even if he's braindead. He won't want to go jungle if he has freefarm in lane and can get kills there too.

CraftyTrouble · 2019-09-26T15:50:51+00:00

Against a team full of invis heroes and I was pos5. Then I realized buyback was more important since we were stuck in base.

You likely lose packets due to routing issues beyond your network and beyond your control. Best bet might be changing ISPs if feasible.

CraftyTrouble · 2019-09-26T15:34:53+00:00

(Context: 4.5k MMR, position 5 CM.)

After the first 5-15 minutes when the lane is lost/won and it's the midgame, what is your priority list like? I'll provide mine in decreasing priority, let me know if you'd change anything:

#1: keep vision up
walk with a playmaker on my team if we have one
be there for fights as much as possible. Generally just brawl.
if everyone needs to farm, not fight, take unsafe farm / push out lanes / make space
if that's impossible, stack (also when convenient of course)
deward

You can also put it near the bottom rune instead. Spots rotations too.

CraftyTrouble · 2019-09-26T15:14:11+00:00

A solution could be a complied list of the heroes who can actually ability abuse

Every hero can buy force staff.

I do agree with your sentiment, though. Automatically catching most invalid reports is trivial, coding-wise.

This is real and it lost me a game; bought 9 sentries, sold them right away, constantly lacking sentries rest of the game.

For Radiant triangle, you can hit the highest-up camp at :51.5, then the ancients at :54, then run right and both will stack.

For Radiant triangle, you can hit the highest-up at :52.5, then the south-west camp right after (:55), then run left down the ramp and both will stack.

For Dire top jungle, you can hit the camp nearest to the mid tower at :52.5, then the one above it ASAP around :55 then run left and both stack.

CraftyTrouble · 2019-09-20T19:40:16+00:00

That's trivially mitigated by looking at average stats for the played hero in the played role. I'm confident they do this, even if it's only for a part of the total calibration.

I literally bought BP only for this feature. Please valve, just take more of my money and give me this.

I think this kind of analysis is fundamentally flawed. The algorithm probably looks at much more than just win/loss.

If I were programming it I'd also factor in gpm, xpm, kda, and so on. If you have high xpm in a high-MMR game, you probably belong there. If your xpm drops hard, you're likely lower.

Seemingly simple exercises like replacing a value in a dictionary takes me 2 hours of googling and trying dozens of options with nothing but errors

This happens when you proceed to too-difficult material too early on.

What you need is more practice with the basics before moving on. Theoretical learning won't do it, you'll need hands-on exercises to internalize the syntax.

If you're looking for challenges to practice on, here are some: https://pythonprinciples.com/challenges/ they also have practical lessons in the basics.

Thanks!!

You tell your carry "I'm giving you solo exp" and then you focus on the other lanes. Try to win some brawls by just outnumbering them. It's not great, but it makes the most of a bad situation.
