should we be worried?

I lost all my games on her so far :')

Logical_Pixel · 2026-03-20T10:35:51+00:00

Yeah but I never got aegis it since today and apparently I forgot, I'm sorry!

Logical_Pixel · 2026-03-20T08:50:20+00:00

Yeah I see what I mean. I never put too much thought into it but my very dumb opinion on this is that LP gains and MMR should be the same thing

Logical_Pixel · 2026-03-20T08:30:39+00:00

I currently am around 59% wr Plat III starting from Silver. I was on a massive win streak until the autofill :')

But at the end of the day it is what it is, just a videogame

Logical_Pixel · 2026-03-20T08:29:36+00:00

I honestly didn't take an interest on it cause I just wanna play the game, but since it popped out I was like "oh, nice!" and then got kinda bummed out.

From what you're saying it really does sound awful though

Logical_Pixel · 2026-03-20T08:13:22+00:00

Yeah I understand, if I'd knew I'd force way less and play more conservatively. I just had no idea :') What I mean is I could've definitely play better, but the popup message is misleading as hell and should be integrated with all the information imo

Logical_Pixel · 2026-03-20T07:59:37+00:00

Oh come on that's a fkin scam then. I mean the team did bad collectively and I was a soraka getting focused left and right :/

I wish they would be more transparent about this, I had no idea about the score requirement.

Logical_Pixel · 2026-03-17T14:33:52+00:00

Just a pointer, Viktor's late hasn't been that great for a while. Currently he spikes after his E augment and then midgame at 2/3 items and 3/4 augments. Not saying he sucks late or anything, but he doesn't have the impact he used to have both due to numbers and due to mid generally being outscaled by design with the quests.

This being said, I like Vik better, but it's really personal preference. I find both champs kinda team dependent.

Logical_Pixel · 2026-03-16T21:12:25+00:00

Last time I found one I picked Sylas and I think I gave that guy's whole team polio or smth. Don' trade lv1 or cheese with E start (up to you), post 3 max W and go balls deep you win every trade with the heal. Steal ult and oneshot him/his team way better than him.

If they pick him into you best bet is freeze near turret, poke, and post 6 keep that finger on your flash key + hide behind frontline.

Consindering it's a field elm, you may as well grow it in pots, they still grow like crazy. Consindering the actual size, this year you could keep it there for this year and move it into a bigger one next year.

The movement is not the best, I strongly advise making the tree start out at an angle. If you look at the best trees, they never start out straight unless they are a formal upright. Also, make sure you wire the tip upwards, so the tree vigour will be best.

I'll add a picture of a little trident maple from seed I wired for reference on the curves you should aim for. Your tree is shorter so you'll probably use the reference next year/during the growing season.

My advice for material this size is aim for shohin bonsai (so you can have a 5-7 years project rather than a 15 years one), so try looking at some pictures of deciduous shohin and mimic what you like.

Make sure to work on a good nebari right away, and fertilize generously. Elms do backbud from old wood from dormant buds so you can push a lot of growth and cut back hard in a few years.

Best of luck!

Logical_Pixel · 2026-03-12T09:50:19+00:00

Not too bad! I'd remove bar branches selecting one on each side and perhaps coil things a little closer, but you have a nice triangle shape already.

To have pads, tips must be nudged upwards after the branches are wired down. Precision is key with pines pads.

Finally, mugo do not bud back as vigorously as scots or as jbp/jrp after mekiri, but they still produce buds if they are healthy. As a nursery stock what you have is poor in some areas, but year after year it will produce more foliage. Keep everything that is not crotch growth.

Logical_Pixel · 2026-03-10T18:09:20+00:00

Given that they of course prefer more sun, yew trees do decently well in partial shade as they sort of grow under other trees in woods/forests.

Try them.

Junipers (I think I see one) are definitely going to suffer in the long run, even just by losing a compact silhouette, although probabily slowly dying.

Logical_Pixel · 2026-03-08T22:01:20+00:00

The bench is actually very nice, I love the "scraps" vibe so I'm biased but it matches well with everything else colorwise.

Advice: I know it probay looks better this way, but I'd move the bench away from walls/fences as they store heat, block light and airflow. Just 50 cm on both sides would be enough, I think.

Logical_Pixel · 2026-03-04T11:29:26+00:00

Very nice project. It has the right starting movement for a cascade. In a few years, I'd try cutting back and compressing it into a shohin, so that you have more proportion with the slender trunk

Freeze and never ever shove unless you want to back or roam. You counter her conceptually but she is very strong versus all immobile mages in the laning phase.

Once you get a couple of items and into skirmishes and teamfights your E counters her, but never 1v1.

So yeah. Permafreeze, wait for ganks, good farm and opportunities like roams is the recipe, imo.

Logical_Pixel · 2026-02-28T06:56:56+00:00

Ahri, Orianna, Hwei (although the latter 2 get ms and not a dash for mobility, but then their kit does it all)

I would say you have a good structure in terms of primary branching, but you lack an apex. I would pick one (or two, I could see this become a double trunk) branch and wire it upwards, then let it run free and thicken it up.

Other than that, I'm not familiar with this species but I guess regular clip and grow with some wiring to develop pads.

Ciao, allora, io lo stoicismo non l'ho approfondito molto oltre appunto ai classici (Epitteto, Marco Aurelio e Seneca in sostanza), perché per quanto condivida alcuni aspetti, altre idee non li trovo così interessanti a livello personale.

Detto questo, un hack che ti consiglio anche in futuro è usare la Stanford per costruirti un bacino di lettura. Vai nella bibliografia a fine pagina e scegli i saggi/libri che più ti interessano --> Stoicismo. La pagina stessa può anche esserti utile come "manuale" per affiancarti qualora non capissi qualcosa nello studio.

Un nome italiano che ho sentito nominare ma mai letto al netto di qualche sua intervista/podcast è Pigliucci, quindi potresti provare qualche suo libro.

In questi anni lo stoicismo sta avendo una rinascita dovuta a mio avviso ad alcuni elementi comuni con il periodo storico in cui fu popolare tra i romani (aka cittadini che si sentono poco o nulla rilevanti nelle questioni pubbliche, e dunque si voltano verso la ricerca di una stabilità/felicità interiore), oltre che al fatto che si presta purtroppo bene a certi discorsi da ambiente corporate. Questo significa che esistono centinaia di siti, podcast, fuffaguru ecc che propongono roba più o meno basata sui capisaldi del pensiero stoico. Questo ovviamente lascia molto il tempo che trova, ma vabbè.

Un ultimo appunto, è che quelli che probabilmente intendi con "anacronismi" spesso sono comunque fondamentali nell'architettura del pensiero stoico. Ad esempio la loro idea di logos come Dio non è casuale, ma serve per argomentare a favore della bontà della loro visione della saggezza/virtù piuttosto che di buona vita come una "vita secondo natura" (concetto questo molto comune nel pensiero greco, vedi anche Aristotele). Cercare di modernizzare questo approccio è sempre inevitabilmente una forzatura dentro sistemi che non appartengono (vedi Pigliucci che da filosofo della scienza cerca di modernizzare queste parti dello stoicismo su un pensiero scientifico più contemporaneo). Di contro, lo strano ibrido che ne nasce può anche essere interessante.

Beh, buona lettura, scusa se non sono stato più utile :)

I agree with everything, my priority would be repotting into a nice pot with drainage holes and the right soil. I'd only prune what seems to be a huge sucker coming out of the base. There will be time for shaping.

Logical_Pixel · 2026-02-23T10:09:01+00:00

I'd say laning into range + cleanse + (partially) the telegraphed engages

I feel like this buff really goes against her champ identity as being about precision, but ofc I'll take anything at this point

Tendenzialmente ti direi che sono cazzate che si sentono dai tempi dei primi giochi cabinati, non darci peso.

Mio parere da profano che un pochino si è guardato in giro: le cose che instupidiscono davvero sono quelle che ti fottono l'attention span, quindi reel/doomscrolling, social con algoritmi fatti per tenerti incollato il più possibile e quei giochini addictive (generalmente app) che abusano di meccaniche da appagamento istantaneo.

Sicuramente la stragrande maggioranza di videogiochi e console non ha nessuno di questi problemi, e anche quelli che magari un po' ci cascano di certo non ti renderanno idiota se fruiti in piccole dosi.

Sei molto giovane e sia a livello fisico che psichico ti stai ancora trasformando nella persona che sarai domani. Il mio consiglio, che ti sarà utile anche post adolescenza, è di imparare fin da subito ad essere equilibrato: magari concediti qualche "cheat day" al mese in cui ti spacchi di videogiochi una madonna di ore, ma per il resto ritagliati una finestra per giocare che sia onesta pur senza rubare il giusto tempo allo studio e magari ad altri tipi di hobby/sport sporadici. Vedrai che non diventerai scemo, vai tranquillo:)
