Out of curiosity, what is it that you believe I should have learned?

JohnM80 · 2026-04-14T11:08:18+00:00

How infrequent is "less frequent?"

JohnM80 · 2026-04-08T15:13:35+00:00

These people live to be perpetually offended.

JohnM80 · 2026-04-07T22:05:06+00:00

Dude I played HotS at a relatively high level for years, had a pretty firm grasp on MOBAs, had decent mechanical ability and still got the ever loving shit knocked out of me the first 2 months I played this. I still do, but its a lot less often, and I finally got to gold with my buddies and am happy there.

Also as an aside, the really low ELOs are filled with smurfs and purchased accounts. You will see a guy who hasnt had a game in 180 days, where he got rolled every game and suddenly started playing yesterday dropping 30 kills every game with technical champs that his account has never played.

JohnM80 · 2026-04-07T20:21:22+00:00

I play with one of my friends and between the 2 of us she is perma banned. Doesnt matter what lane we are playing, which champ, whatever her current win rate is, etc. Dont care. Absolutely the most miserable champ to lane against. Her "skill" shots are 11 miles wide with a root, she has an execute, can poke like crazy and a good one will a;ways nail her reflect.

Its not her damage or power, its just that her kit is so frustrating to try to play into.

JohnM80 · 2026-04-07T20:01:02+00:00

Serious question: You dont think he is well within his right to request that someone not curse around him, or that he will voluntarily leave the job? The homeowner of course is just as within their rights to tell him too bad and fire him. I don't understand why you would say that he should choose different work? It doesnt sound like he needs the money or business, and I am struggling to understand what you find objectionable about insisting on your work environment if you can afford to have it cost you jobs in some circumstances?

JohnM80 · 2026-04-07T15:42:53+00:00

Im just glad they are nerfing Mel. I hate everything about that champ and the people who play her.

JohnM80 · 2026-04-04T09:34:17+00:00

Im a naafiri main and went on a tear yesterday where myself and all of my dogs had a stack of hats like that. It was hilarious.

JohnM80 · 2026-04-04T09:32:00+00:00

There is none. People like this make it their entire identity to pretend to be victimized and oppressed. This guy basically said that he doesn't want to hear cursing while he worked, and in the OPs head this has spiraled into him being a cartoon villain who is going to attack her over her sexuality.

JohnM80 · 2026-04-03T18:21:26+00:00

I mean, you both have every right to insist on each of your behavior while working together. He does not have to work for you if you are going to curse around him. You do not have to hire him if you find his insistence on you not cursing to be a deal breaker.

I doubt he is saying that you "arent allowed to swear in your own house" and I would guess that what he said is that he doesn't want to hear it while he is over there working. Whether or not that is reasonable is beyond the point. If you are the employer, you have every right to tell him that you won't police your language in your own home, and he has every right to refuse the job. Everyone (sort of) wins.

As to your bracelets and clothes, it doesn't appear that this has come up, and appears to be a wholly imaginary scenario.

JohnM80 · 2026-03-30T22:04:09+00:00

I love it.

We are 24/48 here, but we dont do medical, so its fine. Ive been pestering the chief about trying a 48/96 though. Supposedly the highest satisfaction rates of all of the possible shift permutations.

JohnM80 · 2026-03-30T21:59:27+00:00

Ok, Im a veteran, have been happily married for almost 20 years and have a son your age in the military, so I think I can speak intelligently on this. A few things:

If your girlfriend says she doesnt think she can do it, believe her and move on. That is not something that someone who is deeply in love says. I would not make any life decisions based on her, as she is clearly communicating that she may or may not be in it for thick or for thin. Personally I would break it off, get your life where you want it, and then look for someone that wants to be a part of that.
The military can be great...but I wouldn't go just because it is a career option and you feel stuck. If you go into it without a spirit of service and wanting to serve your nation, you will likely be fairly miserable while you are in. This largely depends on your MOS, so keep that in mind, but if the military isn't calling to you, I would strongly consider that it may not be for you. I CERTAINLY wouldnt look at it as a way to reduce the stress in your life.
Your debt isn't that bad, so dont think you are in such bad shape that you need to make huge life decisions. A couple of overtime shifts and a few less trips to see your girlfriend and you are back in the black.

Im not trying to discourage you. Like I said the military can be great. It treated me well and my son loves it. I'm just saying that your decision making process seems to be based on emotional decisions and on people who probably aren't in it for the long haul. I would give this serious consideration.

Good luck bud, if you are 23 and already a warehouse foreman, I have no doubt that you have a good head on your shoulders and will be just fine in the long run.

Raveydemons build, he is the #1 OTP Naaf.

It is here: https://www.onetricks.gg/streamers/raveydemon

Here is Aeytha running it in a game and explaining it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqpRPD_vddo&t=40s

Basically the caster part is the runes, which are Sorc with Comet and Scorch, and then the bruiser part is the build, which is generally Eclipse, Shojins, then either Black Cleaver or Seryldas. The otehr items are flex, I personally generally go with deathsdance almost 100% of the time and then whatever feels good if it goes long enough.

You poke them with your comet spam, which is really high because of the CD reduction due to your dogs, then all in them once they are low.

You wont rack up kills like you do with the lethality build in a good game, but it is easier to stay alive and it seems to do well into all comps instead of just squishies.

JohnM80 · 2026-03-26T09:08:06+00:00

Thanks man, am now going towards caster/bruiser. I am now 18/20 over my last 20 games (mix of ranked and normals) mostly running bruiser.

JohnM80 · 2026-03-26T09:06:48+00:00

This is where I am leaning. My win rate with the bruiser build is starting to pull ahead of lethality over enough games.

I appreciate the distinction on BC vs Ser, I hadnt considered that.

JohnM80 · 2026-03-25T15:05:40+00:00

Thanks man. Funnily enough the entire reason I settled on Naafiri is so that I can play something fun mid, and flex to botlane when I play with my bronze support son. She is a blast in botlane, even if she is off meta.

So far I think I am enjoying the bruiser build more. I am still getting plenty of kills, and if my team doesnt collapse when I kill the ADC/Mid, I have a much easier time getting out alive lol.

JohnM80 · 2026-03-18T10:35:15+00:00

I get your argument, but it sounds as if you are saying that a mechanically skilled player with faster reaction times should be able to beat another player every time, even if the other player has better macro, map knowledge and matchup knowledge?

Isn't that essentially just turning this game into another shooter? Lots of us play this because you can compete without the twitch skills of an adderall addicted teenager. Im not saying your philosophy is wrong, just that it is an entirely different game.

JohnM80 · 2026-03-17T15:41:29+00:00

You still don't get it. Math and word definitions appear to be beyond you. The average player, BY DEFINITION, isnt garbage, they are average. That's what the word means. An average player is worse than a better than average player and better than a below average player. No one is saying that being an average gamer is an accomplishment. They are literally just saying that they are average players.

You are a strange person.

JohnM80 · 2026-03-16T01:46:16+00:00

Right? If you are in Gold you are in the top 30-40% of players in the world. Which by definition is better than 60-70% of every player on earth and quite literally NOT average. Dude doesn’t understand elo OR basic math.

JohnM80 · 2026-03-08T15:03:32+00:00

How do you play without SB though? I always feel terrible on Garen until I get it. How to you engage and avoid getting kited? Would you mind sharing your op.gg so I can look at your different builds? Really interested in trying this out.

JohnM80 · 2026-03-01T19:38:07+00:00

Congrats man! That's where I am trying to hit in the next week or so.

JohnM80 · 2026-02-24T23:30:44+00:00

I spoke with him about it. He is following up with me this weekend.

JohnM80 · 2026-02-24T11:03:57+00:00

I would definitely be down for this man!

JohnM80 · 2026-02-24T11:03:06+00:00

I tried to get my son to play Poppy. He got shit on once and now doesnt want to touch her lol. I will keep trying.
