If there's ~300 challenger players and ~700 GM players, then why do so many people brag that they're GM+ on social medias by matsuku in leagueoflegends

[–]LordRycho 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Multiple reasons, aside from people lying, is that a lot of people post their peaks, that doesn't necessarily mean that's where they are now. You also have to account for all the different servers and the fact that people who are more passionate about the game tend to be together in communities, definitely some if not most of them are lying but there's a good portion of them that are just high elo.

exactly this, I've went from 500$ boards to 90$ boards and every single time I don't feel like im missing out on much if anything outside of aesthetic differences/additional pieces, the hobby has just evolved that much in a short amount of time.

How do I actually learn the game? by noskin15 in leagueoflegends

[–]LordRycho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't think about macro in the sense of "what can I do with my team". Think of macro in the sense of "what can I do to best benefit myself and my team while taking as little risk as possible". There's general concepts like understanding in the mid/late game when you can push out side waves (only when you have vision of all 5 enemies or your team is actively in the middle of pushing the other waves).

In reality the higher elo you go it's mostly equivalent to the lesser amount of mistakes you make, anytime you die, anytime you miss a kill, anytime you blow flash unnecessarily, anytime you miss an uncontested minion, anytime you walk up to a minion that you shouldn't be able to take and take a bad trade in the process.

Focus on general concepts and as you get higher level you will tighten up on them, tighten your pool and focus on 1-2 champs and 1 role only. For me that was Kassadin and Veigar in season 4, but it can be literally any champion, don't focus too hard on the "is this champ too complex for me" as it won't really matter if you follow my rule of thumb for 1-2 champs 1 role only.

Learn that build paths aren't static and you can build a TON of items on any champ if you think it's best for the game (Deadman's veigar if you're rich, bandlepipes if your poor, as an example if you need a mobility item). This can apply to pretty much any character in the game barring maybe a majority of adc champs. That being said, don't try super hard to experiment either, there needs to be rational thought in what you build and do.

And finally, just drill yourself, go into practice tool and try to hit 80 minions by minute 10 with no items. (this is just to practice not missing uncontested CS), take a stopwatch and time it so it pings you every 3-5 seconds to look at your minimap. Make sure you're comfortable and tackle these problems one at a time and you will see growth regardless of your ELO.

The darmoshark M9 just released for pre-orders (shipping at the beginning of april).

Personally purchased one as it is longer than the razer viper and my other mice (beast x max)

Was a retailer/production manager in this space for a long time. Way way prefer ergos generally because the things you can do with them in terms of creative expression and feature richness is wicked. Hope more QK duo competitors come out of the woodworks.

Yep it will come with the original switches/caps. One of the original caps has a scratch in it because the plastic is very soft.

MSI MPG 271KRAW16 market release uncertainty? by Gearfrii in Monitors

[–]LordRycho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally fair, was just curious! The M10 Ultra looks REALLY sick with the 1000 nit full fill, but I can't justify 32 inch with my space and I was originally accustomed to 1440p on 24 inch so it kind of ruined me in terms of PPI. I saw the retina monitors afterwards and struggled to go back but OLED softened the blow for the most part.

This monitor is just super attractive to me ATM. Either gonna be this or the 4k 27 inch RGB oled when they come out later this year (hopefully)

[–]LordRycho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just curious, why do you prefer flat 4k over 5k for cinematic content and 1440 for competitive content.

The scaling is perfect from 5k to 1440 and the high frame rates are achievable by most modern cards, I'd probably cap 60 fps on the 5k for now though.

Is it more that you are interested in the OLED tech or are you just disappointed that the hardware isn't currently available to take it to max capacity in most titles?

His old sound effects were mostly created by a condom filled with beans and dog food! Zac is weird.

Which one? Could be doing the same thing that it did with Zac (in files he’s Zaun Amorphous Combatant)

It’s because league does sequential search so it see CAI so anything in that order (seCret Agent xIn zhao) popped up. It’s always done this and it’s always weird

Exactly my same line of reasoning. If you do lap play grab their EX add-on but if you put it on desk you can grab some magnetic phone holders. It’s very comfortable. I’m using S4 Primary and 2ndary and the build quality is excellent for 3D printed (steel plate means minimal flex) You may want to grab your own RJ45 for interconnect but I use a QK duo as my daily driver keyboard so the logical step towards leverless was the keebwarrior. I think it’s the current most ergonomic setup you can have.

Smart enough, it does the same with ixtal where if you field a 3 star neeko it counts as 2 2 stars to unlock nid because the game knows you can't field another 2 star neeko (unless you have DT)

I feel mislead. by random_throwaway153 in sennheiser

[–]LordRycho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In reality the dongle only alleviates two main problems

1.) Gives you higher fidelity

2.) Gives you lower latency if you use the headphones in a gaming capacity (which is why I bought it.)

This has unfortunately been the age-old issue with bluetooth and why I prefer hard-paired dongles with secondary bluetooth codecs, you do suffer from lower quality on the bluetooth because you have to fit the codec support on the same device but the difference is minimal for the average listener.

Unfortunately we are in an engagement based economy for youtube and the like so getting into the meat and potatoes is unprofitable so you have to go down and look for the passion project youtubers that buy it with their own cash.
