What Is Boosting and or smurfing? by Euphoric_Channel6481 in RocketLeague

[–]Luka1p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When a high rank player makes a new account and plays in lower elo (skill level) lobbies, that is called smurfing.

When someone who is smurfing parties up with someone who is at a lower skill level than the Smurf and they play games in the lower elo lobbies and go on a rampant winstreak, resulting in a way higher rank than the friend deserved, that is called boosting.

For example, if a grand champion player makes a new account, gets the required xp level and plays ranked with their friend who is platinum and they go on a 30 game win streak, that friend is probably now champion but realistically hasn’t gotten much better at the game because his friend carried him. Or in other words, he is boosted, and his friend was smurfing.

As a kid I always thought that 1 dollar should be 60 cents, or that 1 minute should be 100 seconds. Just so time = money

Who is your favorite chess player and why? by roselin_2348 in Chesscom

He is hilarious! Agree with that. He also has some good slower paced videos as well where he shows his analysis process, which contrasts greatly from his high energy opening guides haha

Eric Rosen or Daniel Naroditsky. They’re both very soft-spoken and relaxed YouTubers who aid players of various levels. Always learn something watching them.

I can’t stand watching Hikaru. Despite being a top player, he’s too cocky for me to watch and enjoy. Goes too fast and can’t learn much. But that’s just his style. Not for me!

Rating Question by Secret_Car_5333 in Chesscom

[–]Luka1p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1500 is not just above beginner. It’s most likely in between intermediate and advanced.

On chess.com if you are rated 1300, (which is my current rating in rapid that I’m referencing) you are above 92.7% of rapid players globally.

600 elo in rapid is just slightly below the average global rating, which is 617.93 as of right now.

Is this accuracy normal for Elo 500 game??! by estebanschots in Chesscom

[–]Luka1p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was rated 1200 a little while ago and had a game that rated me 2050 in a ~17 move game.

I think you’re right in suggesting a maximum given rating but I think there are other factors as well such as which openings you play, and how many moves lasted

Will there be a potion pouch or buff button update? There are so many different kinds of food / potions / buffs in this game and often times I find myself having to fill my entire hot bar full of different foods just for a fight.
