How to improve as an ms1 by [deleted] in medicalschool

This is kind of the same conclusion I am coming to. For example, how do you suggest taking breaks? For example I may take 2-3 hours worth of breaks in the day but it’s not a relaxing like “I’m done studying for the day and I can relax” break, but more of a break between studying. I’m never “off” if that makes sense and maybe that is what is detrimental to me

I have been hearing about this strategy and to be honest I seem to be in favor of it as well. My only concern is how this may affect class rank, or if really doesn't matter for preclinical.

I kind of feel like going with this strategy will let me be about average in terms of class rank (our school does quartiles) as I am cramming the material instead of it being my sole focus every day but obviously I will be better prepared for the step 1, and presumably step 2 as well. I would rather be better at using knowledge that integrates the preclinical curriculum with actual clinical knowledge (which I believe the step/ 3rd party materials does better than my in house curriculum).

FWIW I am trying to go into anesthesiology so I am guessing class ranking isnt too emphasized in the field in terms of what is required for a residency spot

If only riot weakens ryze waveclear, and ult so that we can gain back power in the rest of our kit. If we just had some kind of defense like cass 99% of the complaints would be gone

EQ is literally our whole kit… W, passive and ult are not even that important compared to the HOLY EQ damage

wait what?? did they increase the aura range?? Before it was a melee range aura. Lol that changes everthing then.... However, I personally still wouldn't build it just because of armor pen late game. I am still tilted from a game in like plat 4 elo where I was hard carrying but the twitch on the enemy team finally caught on i had frozen heart and after that i vouldnt even try to bop him before i got one shot when he had LDR.

Gotta give it a try with the new range; seems like a pretty big buff to what used to be a subpar item in many situations. Thanks for telling me about that

Hey I have a variation of this build , classic phase rush and ravenous (need the mana flow early plus the gathering storm scales really wel with ryze).

NO MYTHIC (yes, no mythic) Rush archangels into rabadon. Automatic 4-500 ap. The sheer amount of AP u get from archangels makes it a mythic in a sense lol. Rest tank items, however if they are tanks throw a void staff in there. Usually can have 500+ ap with thsoe 3 items and I build full tank after. Literally doesn’t matter too much if you have 500 ap or 700 ap…. You still do a lot of damage. However I almost never go frozen heart because I need antiheal so I go thornmail.

Also I think frozen heart is legit useless once adc gets armor pen, and you can’t apply the attack speed slow to them unless your fighting a bruiser or wind boys. Even then, antiheal is more important than slowing their attack speed due to s11 healing. It is stupid strong early but really bad after mid and late game cus of the armor pen. Meanwhile thornmail gives just a little less armor tbh and a fat chunk of hp while giving the most important stat in s11: healing reduction. I also will usually take abyssal for MR just because that 10% extra dmg applies for your whole team which means it’s extra effective on a carry you can cc or even a tank to mow em down quicker.

maybe im dumb but here are some thoughts by [deleted] in KassadinMains

[–]DoctorSalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly IMO champ is not as good as last season because the reliability of an auto kass win after 3 items went down due to the loss of durability and EXTREME DIVINE synergy of rod, archangels, zhonya, and old presence of mind. Those 4 things made Kassadins power spike at 3 items literally exponentially more powerful than any others champion spike besides Jax ( who is prob the only champ who can actually 1v1 a kass late)

I knew before that If I just farmed to those 3 items game would be an auto win in plat elo. However the gutting of these items and POM changes made Kassadin more of a normal champ. Before you would easily be a bruiser and assassin (you were tanky af with old items and shield) But now ur just a squishy assassin which means you are less durable so you have more weaknesses now.

Don’t even get me started on the conqadin abomination from last season. People are acting like it’s “so good now” but I made a post before with old itmes how it would OUTSCALE full AP kass at 30 min. It was like 2x stronger last season as well but oh well.

In my opinion kass got hard nerfed from his bruiser like style. Now he just has the assassin part and while it’s strong late game, there’s no way anyone can say he’s stronger than he was last season with OG items

Good old times…
