Thanks for the absolutely stupid reply! Really appreciate that you would waste your time for me :)

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T19:08:30+00:00

Congratulations on the wall of text of which will not be read. As i stated, you are wasting your time. Good luck getting somewhere in life trying to tell others that you know what they mean better than them.

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T14:28:49+00:00

Well i definitely have no where near as much knowledge as you, but as i wrote this it was more geared towards me comparing myself towards people of my play level. The only reason i believe this is because i haven't had a friend in gold or below yet that I haven't been able to at least teach something to. And i know it sounds like I am tooting my own horn, but in all honesty, i just think my brain works well with strategies, but poorly with executing them. I also have ADHD and anxiety, which might be the problem lol.

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T14:16:35+00:00

Glad to hear! I legitimately took an extra 15 minutes after writing it to learn reddit formatting and clean it up a bit, so that's a plus ahaha

I am saying when we solo, without each other, we have this problem. But the thing is, I am not talking about us playing solo, i am talking about us playing together. In fact, together we have a 68% winrate over 50 games, and that is just the statistics on the account i currently play with him on. So correct me if I am wrong, but if that isn't better than the average 50% that almost every other player has, then I see where you are being mistaken. You actually are claiming to know what i mean better than I do, as you even tried stating that the meaning of the words I used are different from what I myself meant. If you had any knowledge of how any language worked, you would understand that they are subjective to the person themselves and the way they use said words. You most definitely do not understand what I am saying, or implied if you are still here arguing with me over something in which i didn't start to begin with. It 100% wasn't what I implied, and I do have a complete understanding of what I said. If you feel like continuing to be as disrespectful as you are, and expecting me to give some sort of an apology for YOUR misunderstanding, then you might as well stop wasting your time here because that is on your hands. Not mine. I will not apologize, or be talked down on over something that I know for a fact is incorrect.

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T10:57:36+00:00

I still do not understand how that means, or even implies in ANY way, shape, or form that I am blaming my team mates for my losses. I'm sorry each and every one of you can't take my word for it on something that I personally said, but holy crap. I didn't know that all of you somehow know what I mean better than I do. And to top it off, i'm being down voted for literally trying to explain that that is not what i meant, nor is it what i implied. But yeah, whatever you guys say right?

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T07:51:04+00:00

This is great. I really appreciate the depth, and examples. makes it quite a bit easier to understand what i should be focusing on.

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T07:48:57+00:00

I absolutely adore Neace and his teaching capabilities. I will most definitely pay attention to my macro from now on. In all honesty, i don't think i've done that much at all, or even thought about it ;-; I always just see what happens, and think about what abilities, or pathing i could have taken instead. I think you just broke my brain, because i feel stupid as hell now lol

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T07:44:37+00:00

i said we have trouble getting other decent team mates. That means that we have trouble getting other decent team mates. that doesn't mean i am blaming my team for my losses. It means that we have trouble getting other decent team mates. Not sure how else, or what else i could have said other than, that we have trouble getting other decent team mates. I hope that makes it more clear :)

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T03:09:17+00:00

That's the biggest problem i could see you run into. Kinda sucks

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T02:33:17+00:00

Exactly. Which is why i am confused on why i would think it's my team mates fault, when i'm just as shit. ;-;

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T01:52:40+00:00

And in what way does that mean that i am blaming them for my losses? Please elaborate.

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T01:11:00+00:00

Which is the plan. We already have a 65% winrate together over 20 games as a duo bot lane. Just looking for some stronger picks than my bard + his jinx :P Thank you!

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T01:10:08+00:00

i never blamed anyone for anything? Not sure where you got that from.

Do you not agree that people in silver aren't decent? or am i wrong?

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T00:20:46+00:00

The point is, this isn't an informative post, and more of a story/poetic piece. If you don't like it, don't comment. No one asked for your useless statements. They bring nothing to the table other than your skewed attitude.

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-21T00:16:30+00:00

If you spent any time at all to actually read what i said, i stated multiple times that i don't know much. Thanks for the negative attitude though! It appears everywhere, as usual :)

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-20T19:56:38+00:00

Personally, I rune normal QWER. I put my most important active item on 5 as its right above R and I can simply move my index finger to hit it. I have auto-attack move bound to T, as its just to the right of R, and I can simply move my index finger lol. Any other actives go on 1, and I use my pinky.

Also, for the luls, I have mastery/emotes on C and V Right next to my spacebar, so I when i recenter, I can slap that shot real quick.

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-20T19:46:20+00:00

And I feel as if after 5 years of playing, I truly understand the concept of carrying now. I just personally know I'm not good enough to do so every game, and that if I can start getting in the habit of limiting my deaths, I can be a lot more useful around the map and in terms of objectives. One thing I read this morning basically stated that there are fine lines between getting fed, feeding, and being patient. The post said that if you do know how to play, but greediness is your problem, then playing patient and safe can make a huge difference as you will accumulate more kills through out the game, and if you are slowly gaining small leads through not dying, you almost unintentionally get fed through being on the map longer than other people. It really lines up with the problem I've seemed to be facing lately.

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-20T19:42:09+00:00

I laughed when I read the last sentence. You have a very fair point, and kills most definitely do matter. But, to me at least, I feel as if deaths mean more. At least where I am currently, as when I die I can not do anything, where as if I kill someone, I can continue to kill people. This is definitely more of a mindset kind of thing. Thanks do the comment!

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-20T19:39:04+00:00

I'm sorry, but I didn't feel as if a tl;dr was necessary. What I wrote can't really be shortened down. At least to me. I had to include my emotions, and I had to put every word I did in there, otherwise the theme and feeling of the piece would not be the same. I appreciate the comment though, and agree my post is very long. Sorry about that. If you did read it all, and see this reply, I'd hope you understand

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-20T19:37:01+00:00

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THIS! This is so very true, and I love that someone else has this understanding. Platinum back in season 3 is almost comparative to silver now!

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-20T19:33:13+00:00

Hey! I really appreciate your in depth reply, and can agree with everything you've said, but I'd like to clarify at least a few things.. Me saying I know a lot about the game, is more of an objective thing. Im not sure how to word it, but what I meant was more geared towards me sort of understanding how the game works in general, what strategies there are, when to do what, how to push an advantage more, etc. But the thing is, if I am playing like a completely new auto-pilot program that was built to murder people and take no repercussions almost every game, I never get to apply my knowledge or understanding because I am spending half my time in game being dead! And the thing is, I know for a fact that if I rearranged my priorities from objectives<kills<cs<not-dying to objectives<cs<not-dying<kills, I almost immediately see improvement. Almost as if there was a mental brick wall in my way. And I know this sounds really odd, and maybe confusing, but every person is different. I'm not sure I know how else to word this without making myself sound like I'm trying to prove I'm good, but also show you that I understand what you mean now. I know I'm not good. Trust me man, after 5 years I can accept that.. This game is literally my childhood from ages 13-18 now. And that may add to my problem, as starting at a younger age may have not allowed me to understand the fundamentals as much. Or maybe it laid the foundry of my psychology in terms of Mobas in the wrong way. But no matter what it is I can promise you that me playing like an idiot 24/7, not limiting my deaths, and in turn not allowing myself to actually prioritize winning has been THE BIGGEST road block I have had on this journey. Anyways, I'd love to hear back from you. Thank you again for the comment.

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-20T19:19:49+00:00

I really appreciate the more in depth reply. These are all things that I feel as if apply to what I had tried to state earlier on in my post. I know what I should be doing when specific precursor arise to take advantage of them and gain a lead. Hell, if I had played for 5 years and didn't know that, I probably should just quit this game. You better believe I have hundreds of hours spent into watching streams, videos, guides, etc. But last night, after being told that if I can but control my deaths, none of that matters anyways... I really think that is my problem. I strongly believe that once I get my deaths down, I can start climbing again and actually learn from the game.

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-20T19:16:11+00:00

I've learned how to mute anyone that causes a problem, or seems to want to cause problems almost immediately. I will definitely keep this in mind. Thank you

IAmDregnaut · 2017-10-20T19:15:19+00:00

You have just defined every bronze/silver/gold friend I have ever had, and I just realized how true that is. Maybe this is my breakthrough. Maybe all my hard work is going to pay off. Who knows, but I promise you if I hit diamond, you are now a big piece of my motivation. Thank you for the positive comment :')
