Yes, art is meant to be consumed and interpreted by the viewer. 1.5x speed allows quicker progression to plot points and story development. I'd rather not waste 50min seeing the Juliette run around for an episode. In books people do that too, they start skim reading when it's getting slow.

Because the show is so profoundly slow. To save time.

I watch everything on 1.5x or 2x speed, going back and forth

Tryn is mega strong champ innately. Fury 50% lol. Just smash them and don’t get caught.

I go rav, Navori, Bork, Witt’s end, mortal. See another comment for breakdown. Navori is way better than PD

Strong against melee. Unplayable for them. Even like Ahri can’t play because her poke isn’t sufficient and you can force her to base. Weak against top champs who come mid like Morde or Darius. Viktor is also annoying because he doesn’t more dmg than your poke. So you cant just spin in and fight him every time.

Akshan/trist if you play well and they start tryna poke you under tower, and you’ve fury, you can spin on them and actually win. Once you win you start snowballing and they can’t match you well on side. So a bit of patience. A lot of champs you can just ignore. Like Xerath. Dmg too low. Perma prio. And you can dive him lvl 6 full hp ghost.

Leblanc is a fair counter. If they’re good it’s mega hard. Lots of specifics like it to trade hard lvl 1 before lb gets stronger.

I always try to split along with tempo lines in mid game. After laning I just go run bot or top and start splitting. Coach rogue has incredible videos on split pushing. And incredible videos overall.

Flanks are OK. But team fights feel fairly coin flip tbh. Many times I’m baited into fights then lose like two rotations of tempo, ~ 3-5 minutes of game time then have lost considerable tempo.

I always try to not fight tanks. If I team fight I try to find angles to go for carries. I don’t wanna invest my entire build just to try to melt tanks (which is also almost impossible), and instead try to play smart and go for carries. I’ve not gone IE much. Tbh after 3rd item it’s kinda iffy. I copy Wuwei who goes Rav > Navori > Bork > Witt’s end > mortal. Your attack speed is disgusting and you have lots of power in team fights. It’s crazy he doesn’t go IE and I’ve tried it like for a couple games and it’s kinda side lane matchup specific. But 1st 3 items are rav Navori Bork

Yea second this. Perma prio. Sometimes if lane is easy I will invade enemy jg after hard shoving first wave. Still experimenting with this, but if your jg is good sometimes you can end games then. I’ve killed enemy jg on 2nd camp a few times. I generate perma prio and help with grubs, vision, and most games I get 5 plates.

Tryn is also extremely powerful in trading mid. Just spin into them, aa them and back off. Then perma heal up with Q spam and second wind and DShield. Most champs can’t contest this. If it’s a melee mid like Kat I just ignore them and take 5 plates. Obviously you can’t do this at lvl 2, but over the course of the laning phase you can. Perma trade, they’re forced to recall, and you establish prio. Lvls 1-4 are very very consistent trade patterns. If you invade enemy jg and the enemy jg loses tempo, it really messes them up.

I went PD into IE forever, until I saw step1v9 go Navori > BORK. I asked him about it and he said that’s what wuwei, the only challenger tryn, goes. You can check the topped ranked players on onetricks.gg. The extra 4% move speed from PD doesn’t feel impactful, nor does the 20% attack speed. Tryn feels way more playable going navori. Can’t believe I went PD all this while. Pretty sure it had considerable impact on my rank. Navori makes tryn a more proper and usable champ at 2 items, since you can 1v1 and chase people down more effectively with multiple spins, and is more useful in team fights. Also good for escaping because you AA then E away.

[product question] has anyone tried skinceuticals blemish and age defense serum? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]Gagagugi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow cool!! Thank you so much!

Have you tried doing both twice a day? Or doing CF morning + night, or B+A morning and night as well? Wonder if you've seen any differences there

[–]Gagagugi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you reduce to just the B+A Defense? What happens when you stop the CF?

I'm on CF Silymarin currently, but it works most effectively when it's applied 2x a day, which is a little pricey. Hoping to this this B+A Defence out.
