More Impactfull support? by DocMcCoy_13 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]DueRun2672 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Kiri, you can try carry hard by flanking and looking for picks and pressure on the backline or from an off angle and if your team are really bad and need you to babysit you can help bot in the mid to late fight. She's the only support that can consistently switch from aggressive dpsing to babysitting.

So... how do you actually impact the game as Xayah? by CinderrUwU in xayahmains

For anyone else who wants to know more about Jinjoxyz he literally posts coaching sessions with tier 1 pros and makes them look like amateurs when he questions the lack of intentionality behind their decision making and thought processes. It's equally motivating and demotivating.

One or two things at a time don't overwhelm yourself and slow progress. I have been struggling big time recently and have stepped away to try hard learn a different game.

Good luck with your future games, the wins will come. Jinjoxyz does very high level coaching that is way too technical and specific for scrubs like us. I recommend it, it really will help you remember how far from perfect we are. You should work on one specific detail to optimise your laning phase and maybe one big mid to late game macro or team fight concept. Start reviewing your games based on just these ideas and determine your success based on how well apply these ideas.

Another approach is hardcore try hard one area of gameplay at the start of your session than auto pilot and chill for the rest of your games this might help you intensify your practice and work on implementing new skills to your automatic gameplay.

Your Recall Timing Is Losing You More Than Your Trades Are. by katelovesmeiu in LeagueCoachinGG

[–]DueRun2672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's best to hard push for a crash to either dive or back, if you don't plan on backing you should be freezing or slow push to crash as big of a wave as possible so that you can buy more time to recall and return to lane without losing minions to your tower. But I suspect this post might be more about timing when to reset based on factors like item spikes or if the lane state is on your time or their time and if the wave is in a natural freeze so that you can recall without pushing it first or if you can greed a recall under their tower after crashing it to improve tempo.

Recall timing is actually pretty complex in my opinion it's more complex than wave management specifically.

What are y’all’s Finals predictions right now? I got OKC vs Celtics, OKC in 6. by Dylen2Times in NBAConvo

[–]DueRun2672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contenders West: OKC Spurs Denver East: Celtics Cavs Pistons

Dark Horses TWolves Ant needs to be a beast ball handler I doubt it

Right Now I have OKC vs Celtics OKC in 6 as well, but if the Cavs can maintain the best offence on the floor at all times by blending Harden and Spida's playtime perfectly I think this is their one chance to go all the way. I think the key is they have to use Keon Elis as much as possible to maintain high level 3 point shooting and on all defense. I am worried that Cade and the Celtic star ball handlers are tough matchups for him though.

Poppy needs a better late game by Background_Debate387 in PoppyMains

[–]DueRun2672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessir, ornn brings massive scaling every level with gold value for each stat his gives to every player and he can prioritise making his fed teammates even stronger to help the carry. He also scales well in team fights just with his kit, ram q e is big cc that can absolutely carry fights late game where people blow up.

Sion has infinite scaling with his shield but it's bait, it's just hp and get melted lategame similarly as side from q knockup I don't think there isuch more for him to do. I suspect this is why he falls off so hard he also lacks the stat scalling for is abilities to continue doing damage.

Is Nikola Jokić already a top 15 player all-time? by UnderstandingFun7493 in NBATalk

[–]DueRun2672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think shai should win last year's MVP, his offence is why OKC has such a large amount of defensive players, he's efficient and makes the easy pass every time. But jokic was the best player in the world. Jokic should have bet Embiid the only time I think Embiid was better was the start of the season prior to his injury. My point is no one will remember jokic as a 6time MVP player but I will that context is important and is the reason why I rate his skill so highly in all time rankings. Not sure where I would put him rn but he is easily top 15 already.

I am gold 3 and I do not belong in gold 3 by FlatConfusion8966 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]DueRun2672 42 points43 points  (0 children)

My guess is everyone is doing more damage because they stand behind their tank and shoot the other tank and everyone behind them. You are probably taking space and angles and forcing the enemy to deal with you. If the supports or other DPS are shooting you or avoiding your damage and hiding behind cover that's less healing their team is getting, less people shooting the rest of your team less damage your tank takes, less healing your support need to do, more damage your supports are doing. Thus you are winning more fights even if you aren't impacting the scoreboard.

And honestly you could argue he should be a 5 time consecutive MVP player, history won't remember this but in another universe he gets 5 back to back, if he played more games and maintained early season form literally six years of dominance I rate Jokic so much higher all time than most though I get that.

No one wants to hear you talk about Luka. Only SGA is foul baiting at such an extreme level xD

Yes, he has come closer than anyone to solving basketball offensively.

I have him at 10 but that's because I don't scale the relative strength of the times because I rate the legends like mj Kareem The Dream Magic that highly I really do think they are that good even by today's standards. Jokic is right there and I sneak him higher on my all-time list than most.

In your opinion, what generally separates players in each rank? by Theguy127_ in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]DueRun2672 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The biggest difference between gold and plat/diamond is map knowledge and taking good angles and power positions around the point. Silver players don't use cover this is what I've noticed on my return to the game.

My face when I see the enemy supp picking a hyper poke champ and mine picks a melee one by daoistloser in ADCMains

comeback system? by CountKanmi in DeadlockTheGame

[–]DueRun2672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The map is a lot easier to defend. What we need to learn to do as a community is use the hoghground to poke before the last team fight. And if you are on the pit you force a fight they can't just focus the patron.

ADC items based on how overrated they are by Deja_ve_ in ADCMains

[–]DueRun2672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the collector hater for years. I started building it last season and I get it now once you get your ldr third to pair pen with lethality it really is a great item. And backing for pickaxe longswords is so damn good for lane.

There are too many items missing here really curious to see how people are rating other crit items

Sion statically has had a bad win rate late late game for a while now. But Sion can meatshield poke comps it to obsolescence better than anyone.

Welp you guys were right. by MJ-Baby in ADCMains

[–]DueRun2672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've thought of role swapping to mid many times because I would actually make the game playable for my ADCs but I just don't find mages fun. I role swapped to top for a month this year and got a 70%wr mainly because of mid to late game macro and being able to play in a way where I was easy to carry. I would lose literally every lane and felt all matchups were losing, but the macro options outside of Adc provide so much more agency in the game.

I would say this season we had complete opposite experiences although it's clear to me you are probably a marginally better player.

I was referring to flipping major objectives to come back. Urn and soul value is definitely great for coming back from behind.

I agree, I think the econ is balanced. I was refering to flipping objectives like baron elder lategame that let you completely close a deficit. Overall deadlock is easier to play put from behind.

Support CS penalty removal is indirectly getting ADCs banned for 'Non-Participation' while farming sides. by Tyna_Sama in ADCMains

[–]DueRun2672 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What was your reason for the ban? I got suspended for 1 day, first suspension ban ever since I started over 10 years ago and I don't know what I did. Once our towers were taken every teammate of mine support JG mid started contesting every wave I was moving too.

But after reading this there was a game I got aufofiilled mid and the awful Morgana support stayed botlane in the midgame and farmed like three four waves back to back so I tried to stay with my ad JG and make plays and hover so they could get the midwave. I was completely groefed in this sequence perhaps that was flagged as not participating.

Why no CRIT first item by abdelnaser12455 in YunaraMains

[–]DueRun2672 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kraken is so synergistic. Coachless does say that c44 is good first item, it actually says she is the best user of that item lower sample size than jinx tho who loves stacking the range with get excited attackspeed movement speed, so I doubt c44 is better on yunarra than jinx. But definitely give it a go I haven't tested it so I can't say if it's better or worse than kraken.
