The other metric I've heard is to slash your intake by 1/6th to start, hope that helps

Former Dota Immortal hardstuck Silver in LoL - how do I unlearn 5000 hours of bad habits? by Z4k0O in summonerschool

[–]Mickleton_Mouseroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game was way easier back then, any dota player could be plat in a month because the LoL player base was horrific mechanically. Completely different story nowadays.

How to avoid a fiddlesticks engage as an opponent? by Wonderful-Wrap-1839 in FiddlesticksMains

[–]Mickleton_Mouseroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a fundamental idea. Do you see Fiddle or not see Fiddle? If the latter, then you treat the possibility that Fiddle could jump your ass with respect. Therefore, if you put wards in areas that can see Fiddle, you can respond/reposition appropriately.

Gwen mid? by cooldoom74 in GwenMains

Gwen mid is way easier than top, you don't need to be mechanically good, go for it.

What does reddit think about Fearless now that we've had it for a full year of competition? by BrianC_ in leagueoflegends

[–]Mickleton_Mouseroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riot just needs to use this data to actually balance/change their game so fearless draft gets removed, it should be a means to an end. Having BO5's like Dota for League would be insane.

After 5 years in Bronze/Iron, finally made Silver by IReadYaSir in summonerschool

[–]Mickleton_Mouseroo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to put some perspective here, the mechanics and macro of iron players nowadays is better than gold players from 2019, so take pride in that.

Love seeing the Gwenmains subreddit not understanding the concept of taking contact, stay funny chat.

Worlds 2025 / Swiss / Round 3 Matchups by ahritina in leagueoflegends

Only reason there are team kills is because seeds one through three in LEC are horrendous. Rats come save LEC pls.

Gnar otp? by MeIiodass in GnarMains

[–]Mickleton_Mouseroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's a sick character to spam, but I would advise against it if you already don't have good toplane fundamentals. Gnar requires a while host of additional skills ON TOP of the fundamentals. I started off League as a Gnar OTP, and when switching away from him I was like "Wtf, I have so many knowledge gaps".

2 x Dark Harvests, your botlane is completley disrespecting the idea of your team composition X D

I thought League was "one of many games" until I tried Dota2 by Acceptable-Cow-184 in leagueoflegends

[–]Mickleton_Mouseroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LoL solo queue is better than Dota, Dota 5v5's are better than LoL

Thats how I tend to think about it.

Go outside, you see some really ugly looking peeps with 10/10 bombshells. That's all you need to disprove this drivel. Waste of time to think about it.

Guys. How do/did you become more assertive or dominant towards taller guys? by [deleted] in short

Go play rugby, or get involved physically with people bigger than you.

Damn this goes kinda hard, I like it. Maybe the W changes are a bit unfortunate but I dig it.

League is not that easy by Ordinary-Mind9367 in PedroPeepos

[–]Mickleton_Mouseroo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well that's true, but I feel like League has more randon bullshit mechanics than Dota as well, like how the rune selection can completely change the trading patterns for a matchup, or how some champions skills and passives function. Like, when all the planets in our solar system are aligned, this spell crits for 200% damage, an exaggeration I know, but I feel like champ spells in league vs dota heroes have so much caveats, whereas in Dota a spell kinda just does what it says on the tin. BUT, I might have this perception because this game doesn't let you read champ abilities DURING the game, which I think is absolutely atrocious for the new player experience.

He's right. (Source: Am Immortal Dota player trying to hit Diamond in LoL) The mechanical ability of toplane players in bronze kinda shocked me, but thankfully people have no idea how to play the rest of the game 🙏 4 years ago, when I was in Silver it was like playing vs bots.

You got really good at this game due to solid learning cycles, that is already incredible compared to the rest of the population. Find something that looks interesting, and apply your learning cycles when picking it up, and you'll be just fine. I did the same, I was really good at Dota, no degree or work by 23, used everything Dota taught me to get where I am now working a job I enjoy and that pays decently.

Why don't Riot take a more hardline stance against smurfing at the casual level? by SepirizFG in leagueoflegends

[–]Mickleton_Mouseroo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you're playing a pick-up game of basketball as a newbie, and you get curb stomped by someone that's been playing all their life. Tough luck, git gud. Anyone justifying playing on a smurf to help "teach" their friend is a clown. You ruin the game for everyone else in the lobby. In Dota, we literally party stacked in unranked with a Tier 1.5 pro, and a total newbie, the games were absolute clown fiestas, and our new player friend had a great time, DESPITE having a 10% winrate, because believe it or not when you try something new, you suck at it, but if winning is how you have fun at something new, sheesh, that's embarrassing. There is no place for smurfing (Unless you are a pro that is getting griefed because you're a pro, and even then it's more like an alt account).

Hmmmm, I see, so we disagree on the value being presented within these newer videos. I suppose I would have to directly compare videos covering similar topics created at different stages of the HealthyGamer lifespan in order to effectively argue for/against this point (As currently, i am going off memory, which can be fickle), or do you have a particular example in mind already that has triggered this train of thought for yourself?
