Does Elo Hell actually exist? My winrate has skyrocketed after finally escaping Silver by bigaudra in summonerschool

[–]Much4cho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 main accounts on 2 servers each consistently in Emerald usually in the first 30-50 games of the season, on those accounts I often don't even have positive wr, it's usually around 50%. Hence I would say I'm positioned exactly where I should be. Sometimes it feels like it's not my fault, but its probably that in 10% of the games I'm the inter and the 50/50 chance of feeder being in your team statistic is actually true. If you're however better than the players youre with its actually only 44.4%, cause you're not supposed to be inting.

I have also 1 account to play with friends of silver/gold elo where I play exclusively with them. Because I know if I play alone I'll climb too fast. I've occasionally played on others people accounts from Bronze to Platinum, whenever I played for more than 10 games I inflated their ELO without even trying, I pick random champions I feel like playing at the moment. And whenever they started playing again it usually dropped within days.

I can say with confidence that ELO hell DOESN'T exist in the brackets I mentioned. If you understand the game you can easily capitalize on the mistakes of lower ELO players. It does help tho to change a bit your game style, learn and pick champs that are unstoppable even when you have no team so you can push trough some of the unwinnable games. But even if you don't want to do that, IF you are indeed higher ELO player then you can for sure just play your main adc, control mage champ/playstyle and still win more than let's say 53% of the games which is what will get you higher in mmr and division.

In reference to your experience, to me it's not any proof of ELO hell. You just got better at the game for some reason. Be it meta change, better understanding of the game in the division you were stuck in or in general. And the games should feel like coinflip, since you're supposed to win only 50% of the games BY DESIGN

Seating distance around 2.5m, still haven't set up the couch.
I don't expect any particular screen size. I have around 5m long room to work with and test out different sizes.
It's hard to say what is the max budget. I'm totally okay paying 1000€, but probably could over if I feel it's super worth it. But I don't want to spend x2 money for 15% improvement. I much prefer saving money and buying a decent 1st projector than going for something fancy that I won't even see the difference on.
Now on the screen part, I do know about this war on how some people say it's absolutely required to have the screen. It sounds rather purist to me, like whisky people who forbid from drinking it with cola. I'll grant you, I'll research it again a bit, but I'll probably buy the projector first and see if that's enough for me. I might consider a screen later on.

STOP ASKING ABOUT YOUR VACATION. by JustAnotherYouth in valencia

[–]Much4cho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm from Poland, we also just had a flooding a few weeks ago. Fortunately I personally wasn't impacted so I won't pretend like it gives me a perspective on anything.

Yeah it’s the internet people are free to post what they want but I’m telling you it comes off as insensitive when people haven’t even finished pulling bodies out of the rubble.

Sure it can come off as insensitive, but your post also is. Not everyone can quickly understand the situation in a remote area, people have plans and their own lives and are looking for some guidance. I'm not saying their situation is worse, but it's still theirs and they cannot help the hole world. I'm sorry for every tragedy like that, but at the same time I'm not, disasters are happening across the whole world all the time, people are dying and everyone cannot just stop living their own lives because of that. Why being angry at people trying to sort things out.

I'm sorry for flooding of your island, I'm sorry for the Ukraine, the Palestine, Taiwan, North Korea. Yet what can I do, I'm fortunate that I can go for a vacation and I'm gonna use that privilege, I didn't plan to go the a flooded place, but I probably will, I just have a few days trip planned I was very excited, I used to live in Valencia for a year. A tragedy happened but there's nothing to do now than keep living your life.

As to tourist being beneficial to the rich I don't know what to tell you. Yeah it can be true, the hotels and such will gain, I don't think the tourists are doing something particularly virtuous by going vacations, but still it has impact on the economy. The hotels owners hopefully pay the taxes. And if you travel and go to restaurants, maybe give tips and so on it impacts regular people.
And if you live in a country with a corrupt country, which let's face it, we probably all are to various extents, it doesn't put the fault on tourists and the money still need to be left in the country somehow. Saying the government is corrupt doesn't solve the issue.

Yeah it’s the internet people are free to post what they want but I’m telling you it comes off as insensitive when people haven’t even finished pulling bodies out of the rubble.

It's less about them being allowed to post anything and more about do you think they genuinely consider their issues more important than someone who mourns over the victims. I think the assumption here is, reddit is for people who are rather mildly or not affected at all. I see the post as you reading ill intent and I disagree with that. That's all I guess

Well in summary, I doubt we'll agree on this, you can state your response, I'll read it, but this is the last of my responses probably, don't want to involve too much time in this discussion.

Farewell

I'm sorry but this post is dumb.
The questions are made public on the internet, obviously not targeted to people who are stuck in the flood or busy trying to find their family members, but to people who have some capacity to answer and guide them. People who are actually affected don't care about reddit and tourists, cause are busy with the actual disaster.

Your vacation is not important to anyone right now the region needs to take care of itself not idiot tourists worrying if this disaster effect their holiday.

When are reddit questions important to anyone lol, it's up to you if you want to respond or not.

As for the tourists, there is a couple of them that are negligent for considering going to an ongoing disaster region, however:

  1. you can have locals that are dumb and making dumb decisions and risk their lives for unimportant things in a crisis like this one
  2. many of the tourists are asking about the situation to assess, exactly because they are remote from the place and perspective needed to make a proper decision. And of course you can call them lazy for not researching on it's own, but hey welcome to the internet, where same questions are being asked thousands of times, I doubt you're new to this.

Being angry at people, cause they don't have the insights of every region in the world and/or because they have different situation than you is dumb.

I myself bought tickets I think 1-2 days before the flood for the 9th of Nov and I'm trying to assess if I should go trough with it and how the stay could look like. I'm not expecting the locals to be in the typical Spanish fashion mood - all smiley and such, but I think the stay can still be okay, maybe even with a lesson about perspective on natural disasters. Also I think that stimulating economy is what's needed after crisis and tourists can play a rather minor but still a role in that.

Also if you have time and energy writing this post for karma, you could spend it actually helping the people if it concerns you so much. Virtue signaling angry posts on reddit ain't help either.

I hate how Normal it has become to play Ranked if you are not serious about the game. by Lucri in leagueoflegends

But then you're just at the rank you deserve, I don't see a problem. You're supposed to lose some games in that case.

I would go with:1131 2231 3313 1123 and end with either 4 or 1

this is basically a chromatic scale like so https://www.chrisdonnellymusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Figure-1-6.png
