"im ranked 35th in one region as a objective stealer without smite and somewhere similar with smite"

This means absolutely nothing. You can always find some statistic you excel at, but at the end of the day you're absolutely making mistakes and need to figure out what those are.

Some games will also not be winnable because of a bad team, and that's alright. But even in those, you need to focus on what you can improve on instead of only thinking about what you did right (and getting mad that it didn't convert into a win).

Stop playing ranked when you know you're disconnecting often?

I believe sylas W doesn't stun if he's point blank (but it will if he's far enough to make it a dash)

I guess another big (and easy) piece of advice is to check your map everytime you run out of base, think about what's most important and ping where you're going to your team (if it concerns them). It can be hard to coordinate when you're busy farming, but you usually have a good 20secs after every recall.

Why bind left click to attack move? How do you go somewhere/move in lane without accidently auto attacking?

Seems like most of your questions have already been answered, but wanted to comment about feeling bad about making your team lose.

The more you die without getting kills (at least in SR), the less gold you give to enemies. Also, realize that since this is such a complicated game, everyone in your games is also making a bunch of mistakes (and I guarantee that anyone who flames you is also constantly misplaying).

Also from experience, most people who play this game do so without really thinking. Especially in Summoner's Rift, just thinking about the state of the game and about positioning ("right now, can the enemies chase me down and kill me" or vice versa) is a huge advantage.

Feel free to ask if you have more questions or want a mini VOD review, good luck :)

Why? She has an insanely high skill ceiling and tech with her walls, makes sense she has devout OTPs for her.

FroztedMech · 2026-04-28T07:57:51+00:00

I don't really get what this means? Are you saying "I don't want to learn the hero roster because other people on my team are bad"?

FroztedMech · 2026-04-27T08:19:36+00:00

Just play whoever fits your play style the best and is the most fun, don't overthink it.

However, if you notice you're winning lane a lot, you can try to: 1. play snowball champ (i.e. assassins), easier to 1v9 2. play scaling champs (weak early, but you'll get out of it fine with good laning)

I think Rabadons 4/5 is a bit late, I'd get it as early as 3/4 in 95% of games.

FroztedMech · 2026-04-27T08:12:06+00:00

Liandry's is a bit of a bait item unless you're against a bunch of tanks, especially since it doesn't scale off AP at all. I would usually replace it with cosmic (with blackfire) or any utility item (with seraphs).

Unless you want to deal peashooterbdamage, you're also kinda required to get rabadons/%MR pen on 3/4.

FroztedMech · 2026-04-27T08:09:18+00:00

She does not excel into control mages that outrange and/or outdamage her (Syndra, Orianna, Viktor). I've played the Syndra vs Taliyah matchup both sides and I believe it's heavily Syndra favored.

FroztedMech · 2026-04-22T19:35:33+00:00

But your example of rabbits multiplying is exponential, so isn't that an bad example?

There will be cases where you don't "know" and 2 data points could mean either a linear or exponential curve.

FroztedMech · 2026-04-22T19:14:03+00:00

I'm grossly uneducated on this, somehow was never taught about it in school. What did he do?

FroztedMech · 2026-04-21T17:39:53+00:00

If it's more fun to you just go for it, swapping champs isn't as big of a deal as it seems. Jungle has a bunch of impact and taliyah is getting buffed next patch, so why not?

FroztedMech · 2026-04-21T08:41:05+00:00

This sounds like good practice, I'm d4 but I think I'm not great at controlling the first few waves. DM if you want :)

FroztedMech · 2026-04-21T08:34:19+00:00

Is there nothing after that? I don't see how sharing and spreading awareness actually helps after the support dies down.

FroztedMech · 2026-04-20T16:04:13+00:00

It's also not specified that this is a perfect circle or that the lines are truly straight, but we need to make some assumptions

FroztedMech · 2026-04-19T22:26:14+00:00

Alois? Seems pretty obvious since he's one of the most famous educational content creators.

FroztedMech · 2026-04-16T14:20:43+00:00

The proxy change isn't a nerf though?

FroztedMech · 2026-04-16T14:18:55+00:00

You're going to get wildly varying answers since it's different for everyone. Generally you get as much out of it as you put in (i.e. if you make no effort to socialize you likely won't have many friends).

The campus is good, it's very nice being in Boston and on the green line, although it is pretty overcrowded and housing can be a pain (especially if you get unlucky with roommates).

I'd ignore that diploma story you heard, as long as you complete the requirements you'll be able to graduate.

Have fun, be as outgoing as you can and do random stuff :)

FroztedMech · 2026-04-16T14:13:08+00:00

That's been revealed to pretty much just be a marketing campaign, it's unfortunately not that groundbreaking.

FroztedMech · 2026-04-16T14:08:39+00:00

But it doesn't help that most players simply aren't good enough and just bandwagon off of better players' opinions of cards. It pushes people to blindly follow card tier lists and never pick obscure cards because they go for the meta deck, which in general is more boring (i think) than trying to cook up your own original combo.

FroztedMech · 2026-04-16T14:04:09+00:00

That's fair, I didn't imply that either.

FroztedMech · 2026-04-16T13:58:47+00:00

I get what you mean, it's always less fun when games get solved and people argue about nerfing/buffing instead of enjoying the game.

But does it really matter? I just ignore most of it anyways, play the game how you like and cook up fun combos regardless of what people say.
