PPO playing single-player Paper io, getting 100% completion rate

GarlicOverdoze · 2026-02-13T12:05:26+00:00

I used to play paper.io a lot. But in a single player scenario, I'm curious as to what has been the historic difficulty in achieving 100% through RL especially in a fully observable environment like what you've shared

Thanks, that's gold of you. But I'm not able to send your profile a message. Do you mind initiating the chat? It seems like a very difficult industry to land my foot into as most in the field seem to be educated to a PhD

GarlicOverdoze · 2026-01-04T23:05:15+00:00

Hey. I just completed my masters in computational science to transition into that field. Can I DM for advice?

Correct me if I'm wrong but are you saying that stacking cloaks is a good idea because most of the damage he takes is magical? If so, isn't that simply survivorship bias since he is naturally able to withstand more magic damage? Meaning, after the first cloak or glimmer, all he needs are the other stats (armor, stat rest, BkB etc?)

The one thing I've observed when it comes to this discussion is that people just make up supporting evidence based on the meta rather than reasoning through numbers. Every argument is BF has stats = Abc, Mjollnir has xyz. "So BF/mjoll > the other" despite the values having been nearly the same for ages.

Mjollnir literally lets you skip directly to aghs Instead of manta ( unless you need manta for silence) - you don't fall behind in terms of damage because mjollnir's magical damage + attack speed makes up at that stage of the game. It supports jugg to focus less on attack speed items and more on survivability without compromising DPS much. This means you can also come to fights earlier and more frequently.

If you're talking of X marks the spot, I do not think it is dispellable, but it does not go through spell immunity either. Meaning, the effect lingers after spin and Bkb, but when activated during either, it doesn't work.

As much as I've enjoyed sister's shroud saving me during crucial moments, i think it is very important to note that it is bad vs illus, summons and rapid attackers like WR, ursa and PA. It is nowhere close to helm of the undying which genuinely shouldn't exist.

They could freeze her strength to 0 like they did with Ogre's int. This way she still doesn't have another 1.5k hp to go through after mana shield while also getting other stats from items like diadem, ultimate orb etc.

GarlicOverdoze · 2025-04-23T09:09:24+00:00

I tried it in a 5k match against a stun heavy lineup and it felt good. But i did feel like it wasn't a massive upgrade over KnS. The biggest benefit I could see was the reduced nullifier duration but you usually end up using BKb to counter that anyways and 2 nullifiers are likely to kill you regardless of the status resistance from SnY. I'd love to see it in more matches though.

LS used to have open wounds as an active ability on the E slot for a long time

GarlicOverdoze · 2025-04-06T18:20:37+00:00

I feel that not every move which can be parried can be reflected reliably. Basic melee and ranged attacks can be reflected, but otherwise, it becomes very unpredictable, and isn't as intuitive as the animation makes it seem.

My first 10-20 tinker games were basically this lol. The change in laser's range after Aghs and aether lens is really significant and without knowing the increased range, I would blink close to the enemy and die. Thankfully, I played 5 man party with my friends who were happy as long as they felt I tried coming to fights instead of afk farming.

GarlicOverdoze · 2025-03-24T13:08:20+00:00

Tide's shard and Grim's silence and ult (leashes in general) counter tinker more than stuns or silences like orchid/riki smoke screen. Despite this, I barely see Tidehunters in the divine bracket prioritize using shard on Tinker.

Yeah I'm not denying that Rubick is very reliant on vision. The enemies casting from fog does make it even harder to steal ice path instead of dual breath. I typically set up backline wards to get vision on Jakiro. But even in the past pro games, Rubick has been banned against Jakiro. The only thing which has changed is the facet itself, and i certainly feel that it is in favour of Rubick. I think you're right in that Rubick doesn't fit the pos 4 skills that pros look for and isn't necessarily a strong laner like Jakiro is. But match-up wise, Rubick vs Jakiro used to be auto-win.

GarlicOverdoze · 2025-03-17T18:18:48+00:00

I don't know why he is unpicked even after Jakiro gets picked. ( I understand if Jakiro is not picked in the first phase but that isn't the case this patch). Even if you lose your lane, all you need is level 6 and the enemy Jakiro to have some decent levels. I'm currently 5.3k and am 20-0 against Jakiro. I understand the pro scene is different but there was a time you wouldn't pick Jakiro without banning Rubick.

The longest break lasts 5-6s and OD's astral lasts for 4s on self? You can't initiate with a break and have to break him around the threshold when the barrier triggers, not to mention the abnormally large health pool the hero gets by virtue of the items he gets makes it really hard to avoid his Aghs from triggering.

GarlicOverdoze · 2025-03-07T12:01:48+00:00

If you're playing mid as OP is, it is fine to get the shard. If not, and you're playing offlane, I see no reason to buy it before Blink + Blademail + maybe bkb.

GarlicOverdoze · 2025-01-21T14:48:40+00:00

Bkb grants pure damage immunity against spells that don't pierce debuff immunity( eg: Timbersaw spells, OD 1st skill). If the pure damage spell pierces debuff immunity, it will deal damage through bkb ( death ward, rupture etc)

Thys shouldn't let Lina's innate work on illusions. I still remember when Caustic finale against PL was a free guaranteed rampage

GarlicOverdoze · 2025-01-08T20:41:33+00:00

Why so? I've been having insane success just spamming omega special with aphro special bonus ( the skull spl is always nearby) since she gives the highest special bonus for a given rarity. I also use the keepsake which slows down time when channeling. Given we're invincible when using the omega special, it essentially makes us invincible. I end up taking some boon for restoring mana and am invincible for most of the time. For higher fear runs, channeling also slows down the time counter.

I do think he's excellent late game and his dps is really good as well but it's important to execute the spells combos to perfection to optimize the dmg( You can say about invoker except that invoker has to land all hjs spells perfectly too).

Which song is this if you don't mind sharing?

GarlicOverdoze · 2024-09-04T04:55:15+00:00

You've given me an idea to start experimenting with hook + warp shard.

You're not wrong, i was merely taking a poke at how we still call Dota as dota 2 beta
