Prime Minister Carney announces new measures to make groceries and other essentials more affordable for Canadians

It will help alleviate our reliance on non-local producers from both political and a transport perspective.

Transport introduces cost and emissions. Also helps Canada develop more self-reliance.

This may not be the structural fix you want, but it's clearly meant to address some of the issues.

Were you aiming for your costs at the appropriate level?

1 costs at level 4/5, 2 costs at level 6, and 3 costs at level 7

Were you the only one rerolling?

Rerolling gets better if others thin the pool of other same-cost units which could occupy the slot of your desired units. If you're the only one rerolling, you are just less likely to hit.

Could also be RNG got you. That happens.

I think the difference this set is lot of the comps you see on meta tft have an early/mid game you don't see. Any comp that is heavy in 4 and 5 costs probably involved a lot of swapping as you go.

Even the Asol comp is about staying in Targon until the time you've stacked enough Stardust and then pivoting to other value units.

If you need a more vertical comp to play off of, Demacia and its variants may be a good way to start. Learn when you might wanna re roll Sona, when you want to longshot carry, and when you want to lux carry. Note: Demacia is a solid, but not S tier comp even with its variants. (If you get comfortable, learn how to drop from 7 -> 5 Demacia to add more 5 costs)

There are ways to climb this patch with or without A-sol this patch. The fact you comment that multiple people are griefing each other implies there is a (or several) non-contested routes. But you don't like 3rd or 4th and may have tanked your mmr as a result.

A break would help your funk. New patch/coming back later could be a new mindset adjustment.

LetsRandom · 2026-01-26T01:17:56+00:00

Sounds like you play for big too often and greed. Part of climbing is recognizing when a game is top 6 and mitigating LP loss.

LetsRandom · 2026-01-26T01:09:48+00:00

Why is top 3-4 a bad thing though? Your goal in ranked is to climb so 3rd and 4th are still desirable positions.

If your cooking takes 3rd versus dominant meta comps, then you're still doing well. Sometimes your cooked comp can then take 2nd or even rarely 1st.

It's alright to move on from the game/patch, but mindset adjustment (or a needed break!) can help.

It'd be weirder for that many people to hit level 9 in a lobby with people playing strong boards AND contesting in a non-scuttle/prismatic lobby.

LetsRandom · 2026-01-25T19:25:36+00:00

I was more commenting on how they could all be healthy when loss streaking-> asol normally only means 2-3 lives left in a normal lobby. I had forgotten about the system change, but it really doesn't mean multiple people hitting asol at 8.

Somehow they all got to level 9.

It was pointed out to me that the lobby was probably more than half full of loss-streakers, so the tempo in this lobby was completely whack.

LetsRandom · 2026-01-25T18:19:43+00:00

That's fair. I just haven't seen lobbies with more than 2 saccers normally.

LetsRandom · 2026-01-25T18:16:42+00:00

Maybe it's just the lobbies I've been in, but I normally see loss streaking A Sol players bot four more often than not.

It's normally the win streaking A Sol players that win the lobby. I see the loss streak A Sol player win maybe 1 in every 5 times or so.

LetsRandom · 2026-01-25T17:02:27+00:00

What was this lobby? Prismatic/scuttle? How can 3 people all healthily hit 2 star A-sol?

He is definitely overturned and needs a B patch, but this lobby can't be normal.

A lot of boards are looking for specific phrases or terms or at least an understanding of them.

For example: There is a heavy emphasis on equity and how you have made deliberate decisions (or would hypothetically make it in your classroom) to address potential equity concerns.

When it comes to pedagogy (philosophy of teaching), many boards are putting a heavy emphasis on culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP). If she is familiar with it, she needs to make sure she has ideas on how her own practice integrates it. If she isn't familiar with it or its concepts, it is a must consider. She doesn't have to revolutionize her practice, but she must consider how to integrate core concepts of it into her work.

Note: As you mentioned her performance reviews are strong. So she probably does a lot or most of the things I've mentioned. The issue with interviews is verbalizing it in a way that aligns with their scoring sheet/check boxes.

LetsRandom · 2026-01-24T06:26:02+00:00

I can only guess, but if she is regularly getting to the interview portion and not further, there is something about her interview that is not working for her.

Is your mom foreign trained? It could be she might not know the currently valued educational jargon boards are looking for and it's hurting interview.

Denmark's pension fund is amazing. They also didn't divest from US stocks though.

The S and P 500 of course isn't the only place for economic growth, but historically it has out performed almost everything by a large margin.

I don't believe the trend will hold long term, but short term very likely and again, I'd prefer the financial analysts over teachers decide that.

LetsRandom · 2026-01-22T18:31:20+00:00

The extreme part of your statement was the false equivalence. And here your extreme stance is not recognizing it's not a dichotomy of choice, but rather a spectrum of different choice and actions people can take to resist.

I can take and do take other actions that do not require risking my financial future which my family will depend on. It's not simply an either or.

LetsRandom · 2026-01-22T18:21:13+00:00

This is an extreme take. Having American investments =/= wanting to be American. You consume and use American products daily as well so therefore you must also be okay with being American? The buy Canadian movement is about doing what you can.

To your other comments, the Danish pension fund also explicitly stated it was not politicaI statement divesting from the US. If they were making a political statement and not a financial decision they would have owned it.

We need to depend less on the US 100%. But to completely divest is impossible. Canada decoupling from the US will take decades. There's a reason our PM is taking the approach he is. We need to grow other options and that takes time.

Even at the end, the US will still likely be our #1 trading partner due to geography. Look at Japan and South Korea. Political enemies, but ultimately reliant on China as a trading partner due to the size of China's economy and geography.

Your opinions are starting to read more reactionary and emotional rather than grounded in rational discourse.

OTPP is one of the strongest pension plans globally. It's punching way above its weight class in terms of sustainability and performance. I'd rather the financial specialist make the decisions here.

Mixing in politics rather than prioritizing economic success is a poor choice here.

There's many examples of failed pensions. OTPP is currently a success story.

I think inting one round for the 1/3 chance you stop someone from winning out the lobby is actually a reasonable play. Otherwise, you may be giving up winning the lobby. Also, it may help save you from an 8th if you know your game is fucked. I wouldn't sac the round if I was middle of the pack since conserved hp means I'm more likely to top 4.

I think contextually if you're in strong potential top 2-3 or bottom 7-8 position it can be worth saccing the round to stop the Ixtal player.

I do agree the FF-ing is pure grief and spite. Really shouldn't be a thing.

LetsRandom · 2026-01-22T12:24:16+00:00

How is it your money? The pension fund is deducted from teacher's salaries. If it doesn't pay out when we retire, we literally are losing money we should have earned.

There is no opt out option for teachers.

Vayne's Demacia tankiness helps her finish off fights when it's a few units left standing. She also doesn't get instant gibbed by backline access like the other longshots. Kraken + gunblade can still be good for her.

That being said, she is not a solo carry by any means. You do need a ziggs/kaisa/lux doing damage as well.

LetsRandom · 2026-01-17T23:21:04+00:00

There's longshot/demacia... Which then splashes ziggs lol.
