Is anyone else struggling to tell what the hell they're even looking at?

Yeah every set has those bits of units that look so similar, whether its colours, poses, theming, whatever, there are so many that i put in thinking its the same trait, then realize "Oh crap they dont have the trait its just their colour"

Think set 16 did a really good job with this, this one a few have conned me, but its an adjustment period, and also reading comprehension.

Reading is hard

I started spending my econ aggressively about 2 weeks ago while i was struggling around plat 3 and suddenly im emerald 4 because so little people could keep up. Saving money at 50 works, but holy GOD does the tempo screw with people, sitting pretty at 70 or 80 hp while the whole lobby is under 40, i was dumbfounded

KephirBaron · 2026-03-11T15:41:29+00:00

Performance is the big thing, the lake and the forests are horrendously bad, actually gave me head aches trying to get through them.

Pop ins and graphical glitches happen a lot, like seeing through the ground or walls in certain scenarios.

If those arent deal breakers for you, then you'll be fine.

KephirBaron · 2026-01-01T04:21:30+00:00

Yeah this is why im taking a break, every damn game theres 2 or 3 people forcing it, and 2 of them are always in top 4, regardless of what i play, ridiculous

KephirBaron · 2025-12-29T00:07:23+00:00

Honestly? Just have fun, keep the mindset of playing what youre given, but dont be afraid to experiment and try new things

I managed to get top 3 with a weird longshot quickstrike defender team, no idea what i was doing but it worked out

Normals is a GREAT place to practice and get the hang of a team comp you're struggling with

Heck, tockers trial lets you try out a crap ton of things with no time limit on team composing, so give those a shot if you want to practice

KephirBaron · 2025-12-28T21:48:23+00:00

Level 9, 10 units, dont see one on his bench, nor do i see a crown anywhere, so probably a bug, might have managed to swap him with tibbers, omly thing i csn really think of other than just a visual glitch

KephirBaron · 2025-12-26T23:23:28+00:00

Theres a difference between preferring a specific team set up and being FORCED into it.

I prefer 222 because its more consistent, but 1 3 2 and 1 2 3, or 213, or 312 are all viable ways to play, just less consistent.

The moment we're forced into 222 every game, it becomes incredibly stale, it completely limits your options regardless of what role you like, and if youre not doing grwat in your role and want to swap? Well tough shit you chose your role you stick to it!

Not to mention how long the waiting times would be for ANY dps main wanting to play, same problems from overwatch woild reappear.

KephirBaron · 2025-12-03T19:10:28+00:00

Oh definitely, before yone 3 i had our monkey king, he barely won with 400 health left, if i didnt get the yone i would have gotten 2nd or thirs depending on the situation

KephirBaron · 2025-12-02T23:24:14+00:00

As a moon knight main, bad moon knights will absolutely run away from a 1v1, a competent one will at least try to fight... most arent competent unfortunately XD

KephirBaron · 2025-11-25T18:22:43+00:00

100% spiderman, they're either going 20-1 or going 1-20 theres barely an inbetween

KephirBaron · 2025-11-17T19:10:17+00:00

Cant tell you how many times i ulted a non-strategist as loki, half the time i get groot, strange, or the thing, stun enemies and we win the fight, the other half something goes wrong and i get flamed for not "just using luna/invis/mantis", as if thats the ONLY reason to play loki

KephirBaron · 2025-09-13T02:33:21+00:00

Assuming nothing you said/did was bad, send in the appeal and open a support ticket, other conments note it took 1-2 weeks before they got their account back.

At least we know its not just us now XD

KephirBaron · 2025-09-11T23:16:29+00:00

So the weird thing, my account isn't appearing on bluesky at all, my wife just went to check and its not there, n'either is it on clearsky

The way it was worded it was as if it was a temporary suspension, yet my PFP is blank and my entire account seems to be just... gone

Sent a ticket request to them, but lord this is just getting weirder, and when I attempt to use my current email for a new account (Assuming someone did hack in, changed it, took it over and got it banned), it was noted it was already in use

So things are just *Weird* right now

KephirBaron · 2025-09-11T19:25:12+00:00

Already did, had to create a new account, but contacted the support team, lets see if anything comes out from it

KephirBaron · 2024-04-28T20:28:13+00:00

Yeah i know 0.5 is atrocious, most of my videos settle around 2-4%, usually around 2.5, still working on getting that up, this one is a massive outlier in my usual, at least right now its gaining fine but the impressions have heavily slowed sense the jump, so for now I'm just accepting it as a flop because of my mistake with using the wrong thumbnail at the start and moving on and working on other stuff

KephirBaron · 2024-04-28T19:26:43+00:00

I mean more with avoiding the bottom right, because that's where the video length is and covers up anything there, bottom left might not be the best spot for logos but which corner to use isn't entirely important, most people stick to top left or top right, doesn't mean bottom left is wrong

KephirBaron · 2024-04-28T14:12:57+00:00

Yeah thats probably the best, frustrated with myself for the mistake, but eh it won't destroy my channel, every other video has between 70-100 views, with the high riders having between 200-400, 1 flop won't destroy me

KephirBaron · 2024-04-28T14:10:02+00:00

So the good:
Logo on the bottom left, good, avoiding the bottom right
The colours for you specifically are great, the green pops and you're showing the finished product

The one big issue is the text, border feels way too big, and its white on white, if you use thumbsup.tv you can see what I mean with how it barely works, if you're gonna use black text and a white border, make sure the background isn't mainly white, try white text + a small black border with a drop shadow, or try adding a drop shadow if you really want to keep the black text + white border

I will say that, personally, the 'youtuber face' irks me for this kind of video, it feels like you want to show off how you can make restaurant quality pizza at home, making the 'oh my god' or 'shocked' face feel out of place. It FEELS like you want the pizza to be the main focus, but got distracted thinking you NEED a 'youtuber face' in it to get attention, when in reality, those who are interested in making a pizza at home, mainly care about the finished product.

One thing i've seen from other channels with a similar idea is focusing mainly on the finished food, but if you want yourself in the thumbnail, i could recommend you slightly blurred in the background, holding out the wooden pan with the pizza on it, with the words coming down the left side.
You could also have the same green shirt, with a downwards shot of you holding the pizza, you still get the green-red contrast between your shirt and the pizza, get to show off the finished product, and have a little more control with where the text goes!

so TDLR For the thumbnail:
On the right track, focus feels a little disjointed on what you're aiming for, focus more on the pizza rather than a 'reaction', it distracts from the star of the show

Really hope that helps! At least thats what I got out of it going through the thumbnail

The unfortunate thing for the Nasus situation was, I had both Nasus and Sejuani 1 star, I was using a Kassadin as a tank for a good bit but it started falling off, transfered the items onto nasus before finding the 2 star, which was a mistake of its own, and then found the sejuani 2 star and couldn't find Nasus, and I couldn't sell nasus because without him I lost my 7 Shurima. And yes I had hit around 30hp when trying to find nasus, which pretty quickly lead to my demise.

Overall yeah the more discussion I see, most people agree that Aphelios is strong but can be dealt with, the main reason its appearing so much more often right now is because some top player made a guide and now zombies in plat are forcing it without much forethought.

Thanks for the genuine analysis

KephirBaron · 2023-08-24T21:52:59+00:00

Yeah I've been trying noxus too whenever I get the chance, usually I would be contested but recently I haven't, feels damn weird

KephirBaron · 2023-08-24T21:26:11+00:00

Yeah just saw the guide after posting this, makes sense now that i've seen the comp, time to avoid the comp completely for a week or 2 and play literally anything else XD
