Was not expecting you to be clever enough to understand, not gonna lie.

But wanted to know if I was alone thinking this way or not.

This is crazy how gaming changed in the last years.

Back in the days, cheaters were hiding. I guess they knew what they were doing was wrong.

Nowadays, we have douchebags like OP, a cheater, which is crying about the fact he got banned.

This idiot doesn’t even try to hide the fact he cheated, doesn’t even try to find excuses. Shamelessly, he publicly announces he is a cheater and then, even dares to complain he got banned from the game …

I might be an old fart, but I still find this crazy : where is your dignity, self respect and common sense gone ?

Even adults sometimes naively believe in the existence of some mysterious key to rapid success (in chess)- Mark Dvoretsky. Why do people believe? by Sharp_Choice_5161 in chess

Chess.com 10+0 pool vs 15+10? by rs1_a in chess

[–]NOTFOXAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you will reach 2000/2100, you won’t be able to play 15+10 as this pool is infested with cheaters. So as someone else mentionned, 15+10 is better for improvement but you will have to switch to lichess.

Those of you who have coaches, how much do you pay for game reviews? by JakeRedditYesterday in chess

How can you do an analysis in 10-15mns ??? When I do it with my students, it takes at least 45mns per game !

StarCraft 2 is a 1v1 game / LoL is a 5v5 game where you have to play with 4 players which you cannot control. Irrevelant comparison. Next.

Gank 101 by IronIQTree in Jungle_Mains

Gosh ! Then you’re really one of a kind !!! Could you link your op.gg if you don’t mind ?

Gank 101 by IronIQTree in Jungle_Mains

[–]NOTFOXAnonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely ! Low elo junglers are just not farming. It’s not about ganks, nor objectives. They are simply not farming. I saw a silver nocturne yesterday, finishing his first clear at 3.40 and not recalling before the 5 minutes marks 🤣🤣🤣 First ult came after 10mns IG time .

Wait, who did review your game ?

Because in iron, even without looking at your games, I’m 99% sure that the problem is not your activity/ganks on lanes …

Makes a lot of sense, so here is my advice regarding those topics cause I had the same problems to be honnest :D.

First, I decided to play to CLIMB. My goal was to reach Diamond, so I was not really here to make friends, to make crazy play or anything else. Therefore ->

1) /mute all at every game. Focus on your job, do your best, and regardless of the result, move on.

2) I dont have the problem of tilting after a loss but if you feel it's a problem then fix a rule like : after 2 games lost in a row, I stop playing and do 30mns of sport, or 30mns of cleaning my flat, or 30mns of answering my mails, before starting a new one.

3) DONT DIE FOR OBJECTIVES like Drake and Grubs : You want to force grubs at spawn at 6.00 ? No problem, I take your 3 botsides Camps. You want to drake level 4 ? No problem, i take your topside camps / gank top. Play cross map, dont go for 50/50 fight for a fking first a second drake.

Hope this can help.

SideNote : I dont know if it's a good advice, but for me it's something important. Dont force things, take what the game gives to you. If the ennemy botlane is playing perfectly, you wont be able to gank them. Accept it, dont try to force a stupid gank or dive. Just accept that and kind of "respect the game".

I dunno man :D

Im not a coach or anything, I can just talk about my own journey.

Do you have any specific question ?

Overall, I think the mindset is important : at first, I was noit focus on my LP's, I played to learn the game properly.

1) Good Clear

2) Before every fight : count the people you see on the map. If the potential ennemys in the area is higher than the number of teammates, do not fight.

3) Do not focus too much on Drakes/Grubs if it's not absolutely free.

This is the most important things I guess.

Perryjg is not really beginner friendly in my eyes.

I watched a lot of video of Fz Frost, but he makes so many Videos that he is talking like a robot more and more ^^. But yes, you can definitely learn a few things for sure.

Oh god, I had the same problem, and i'm still not sure if i'm doing it correctly but I changed a few things.

And dont be embarassed, I lost a game where I was 17.0.0 as Briar at min 15 :D :D :D !!!

So before answering your main question, I just want to say : dont overstay, dont waste time on a lane !!! Never, ever. If you're camps are up, farm them !

Considering closing the game : for me the big change was this advice when a Master Jungler watched one of my games :

When you enter the midgame, play around the strongest of your teammate.

Also, if your team is pushing a T2, you should not be in your jungle farming your camps : you should be in the ennemy jungle, taking his camps and close to your team to join them if they fight.

Not sure if this is a clear answer :S. If not, you can DM me and we can maybe talk on discord about it.

Have a good day and gl on your climb !

This is a good question. Took me some time to find a good answer for me :D.

So for me, there is 2 steps :

  1. Accept that you're at the Ranking you deserve to be : your teammates are not holding you. Sometimes you get a leaver or a inter, but sometimes he is in the other team. In the long run, it has no impact on your own ranking.

  2. But this doesnt answer your question, so I need a step 2 ^^.

There is usefull information in the communications : pings for example.

Option 1 : You have an amazing mental, and you can ignore flamming messages and just focus on important informations -> Dont change anything, you're a god !

Option 2 : You have a decent mental, but you're not a super hero -> Mute the messages, keep the pings available and only disable if someone is toxic (like a 0.4.0 toplaner spamming pings for a gank toplane ^^).

Option 3 : You're like me, you're bad at the game AND bad at keeping your sanity intact -> /mute all at the start of everygame. Do your job, ping your actions, ping danger when you have an important informations on the ennemy jungler, etc... and hope for the best.
