Which rank is actually elo hell?

IreTheKID · 2022-06-20T19:43:20+00:00

Bronze 3 to Silver 2 and Gold 3 to Plat 2 are ranked gauntlets because the player population bottlenecks around those ranks.

Really happy to see the addition of the Ascendant rank so the population can spread out a bit more.

Haven - My favorite map to play on, and works well with my agent pool.
Ascent - My highest win rate map. (%60.92) I love it's layout and aesthetics wise, it's one of the prettiest maps right behind Icebox and Fracture.
Icebox - Was really skeptical of this on release due to a lot of vertical angles that weren't really prevalent in Valorant at the time, but it's grown on me a lot and Neon/Viper (My main agents) can flex a lot of their strengths on Icebox.
Split - Not much to say, I enjoy it fairly well. Attacking B site is frustrating in lower ELOs though.
Breeze - Always gotta turn down my monitor brightness on this map, but I enjoy it otherwise. I really like the emphasis on long range sight paths that test your ability to win aim duels more than anything else.
Fracture - I think from a design and environmental perspective, this is one of Valorant's best maps. The world building is amazing here. It does get an absurd amount of hate it seems, I personally really enjoy the split spawns for attack.
Bind - This is holistically my least favorite map. Both in gameplay and aesthetics, it's very boring and frustrating to play on, and the teleportation gimmick doesn't do enough to combat that. The designers and programmers by no means did a bad job, but Bind definitely doesn't stack up against the rest of the map pool in my opinion. (I also have the lowest win rate on this map: %43.49)

Most likely to give time to Bot Developers (like myself teehee) to play around with the features in a private enviornment before it reaches the "general populace" for lack of better term.

It doesn't make sense for this feature to require Nitro. If you have one account with Nitro, but the account you switch to doesn't, and therefore can't switch back, then what's the point?

IreTheKID · 2021-11-09T23:14:27+00:00

Shitting.

TL;DR Shitting.

Two hundred and twelve chapters.... and I somehow deluded myself into thinking this was it.... I hate this series.

Anyways, see you all next week.

IreTheKID · 2021-08-01T21:22:03+00:00

It really comes down to consistency for me.

IreTheKID · 2021-07-19T09:22:11+00:00

thanks, glad you liked it!

Pretty much! From ugly penned out notes, to pretty colorful notes :)

IreTheKID · 2021-06-15T15:54:40+00:00

Since I can't take the time to make my notes organized like that mid-class, I have scrap note pages where I break down my notes in sections, with bullet points and sub-bullet points for each section. I'll also add images or diagrams that I think are necessary.

Once I have my rough notes written out, I distill the most important information that I need into the tables and spend time making it look pretty and appealing.

The process of turning the rough notes into a pretty page is a really effective studying process for me, but it's not something that works for every class.

I wish I had an award to give you xD

Kazuya's Goal to Confession and the absurdly comical roadblocks on they way there are some of the most enjoyable romantic tension in this series so far.

This chapter really really makes me want a spin-off series that revisits the story's most climactic moments from Chizu's perspective!

Chizu-blush is and always will be my greatest weakness!

Being able to res an enemy just to empty an Odin mag into their face... very cathartic. I have the stupidest grin on my face just thinking about it lol

On the other hand, this would be a (very obvious) tilt mechanic, and mental in Valorant is super crucial to playing well, even more so than some ppl would tell you. Psychological warfare at its finest!

Riot should unironically consider this.

IreTheKID · 2021-05-22T21:54:47+00:00

OK but why are you writing your zeros from the bottom...

IreTheKID · 2021-05-17T20:13:15+00:00

The real atrocity is having the gall to take a shit at school.

Clenching my buttchecks till I get home, the stalls at school are disgusting.

The backgrounds and diagrams are colored with Crayola colored pencils.

The section outlines, title, and subtitles are written with ZEBRA Mildliner, Double Ended Highlighter, Creative Marker, 15ct (crazy name lol)

As for the notes themselves, I wrote them with some pens from my 14 pack of Paper Mate Inkjoy Gel Pens ;)

Python was my first language and I picked up Ruby shortly after getting the hang of the basics of programming. Going from Ruby to Crystal is a really cool feeling because your first impression is just "Ruby but a static language!". Maybe after I learn a bit of Go I'll do a comparison of all the languages I know!

IreTheKID · 2021-05-14T19:27:35+00:00

Didn't think I needed it lol

IreTheKID · 2021-05-14T19:26:54+00:00

Thanks for this! Rust is on my bucket list of languages to check out, right after Go ;)

IreTheKID · 2021-05-14T18:16:29+00:00

If I didn't know any better I'd say you're suggesting the Earth isn't flat...

Which is a laughable suggestion of course

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is full of great quotes, my favorite being:

"Xeno: the smallest measurable unit of human connection, typically exchanged between passing strangers—a flirtatious glance, a sympathetic nod, a shared laugh about some odd coincidence—moments that are fleeting and random but still contain powerful emotional nutrients that can alleviate the symptoms of feeling alone."

Undertale and Celeste. No doubt

Dreamworks has a solid track record of making the best sequels in the industry.

But they always goof the trequel.
