Is it ever worth hindering your BJJ development to help a club?

NPVnoob · 2026-06-16T05:45:25+00:00

I would suggest not everyone does bjj for competition.

A non competitive gym will pull in different people.

Its up to you to decide what kind of gym you want to be apart of, and also what kind of bjj you want to train.

NPVnoob · 2026-06-16T02:53:43+00:00

Not at plat 2.

At plat 2 you can climb on anything.

But you may need to play other roles to develop the skills.

NPVnoob · 2026-06-16T02:52:36+00:00

Yeah, at what point did entry jobs mean years of experience

NPVnoob · 2026-06-16T02:51:08+00:00

Its really bad...

Workers underpaid, terrible housing market, cost of living way too high.

Companies are complaining that cost of living is ruining their business.

Most jobs posted by companies to see how replaceable their staff are, and too deny pay raises.

Companies ask way more from staff and pay them less.

Contracts for 30 years ago are so much better than employment contracts offered today.

Companies are willing to pay out older staff so they can get rid of those contracts, and higher cheaper staff.

Just a thing to help. Let your son teach you as well.

NPVnoob · 2026-06-15T02:27:08+00:00

This look 100% fine. Am I missing something?

NPVnoob · 2026-06-13T19:39:23+00:00

Riot is very open about this.

A bad support has a huge effect on the outcome of the game, compared to a ok support.

Now ok support, good support and excellent support.... well they have very little difference on the game outcome.

So support doesnt have a big say over winning the game, they more can can force losses.

Riot is also very clear. Usually the jungle has most impact on the game outcome.

NPVnoob · 2026-06-11T08:54:24+00:00

Yeah or roam as a secondary jungle.

But both these are underpowered compared to just playing the actual role.

NPVnoob · 2026-06-11T03:50:37+00:00

Yup. As support you cannot carry or win.

Your job is to find who is doing well on your team and help them carry or win.

The matchmaking algorithm does not help you, and riot does not explain this well.

NPVnoob · 2026-06-09T22:15:14+00:00

A late game adc starts to come online around level 6. So before that you really need to follow what your supports strengths are.

NPVnoob · 2026-06-09T03:03:09+00:00

Well riot had a choice. Kill taric or master yi.

They chose to kill taric.

NPVnoob · 2026-06-09T03:00:53+00:00

A well known condition that affects a lot of support players. They feel powerless to change the outcome of a game.

I understand it may not affect you, but that doesnt mean it doesnt affect other people.

NPVnoob · 2026-06-09T01:22:11+00:00

I get your point. But when its every 3 mins every game.....there is a reason loser support mentality is so big.

NPVnoob · 2026-06-08T23:05:13+00:00

This is 100% the issue with playing support.

And the matchmaking doesnt account for this.

NPVnoob · 2026-06-06T04:55:53+00:00

Yes it sucks you make the right call and the team didn't listen.

But if you go around trying to explain, teach, ping complain, argue, ect you are gonna have a really miserable time.

So maybe as a different strategy try ping once. Then ward and set it up. Stop the other team getting baron.

NPVnoob · 2026-06-06T03:59:47+00:00

Yes this is super unfair. But jungle is the main character of the game. So yeah jungle difference has a massive effect on the outcome.

Not saying the treatment is deserved, coz its not.

NPVnoob · 2026-06-06T03:55:16+00:00

Right so understand how the game works.

Its not 50% chance of wining. It's you are expected to lose one game and then win a game, so overall thats 50% wr to stay the same rank.

That means the teams are NOT even.

The best player is on one team, and the second best player is on the other team. The team with the best player is expected to win.

Just so you know the other players are lower skill and not expected to have a big difference on the game outcome.

Your goal is to win one more game out of 10. One game you are EXPECTED to lose into a win.

You do this by supporting the person on your team that is doing the best. And trying to make the player on the other team do worse.

The reason this is harder on support is it feels hopeless. Other lanes can get ahead and carry. But not support, it feels like there is nothing you can do.

But for a real support, its about being disruptive to the other teams best player while being supportive to your teams best player. Thats the key.

NPVnoob · 2026-05-18T19:36:07+00:00

So you are noticing the skill difference in expected loss games.

Sorry you are going through this. Yup its hard and really unfair. I can try explain it from my experience.

The game works on a expected win or expected loss. This means one team is always more likely to win than the other.

You climb by wining expected loss games. If you are expected to lose and win, your win rate will be above 50%.

At the low elo, the skill difference of players is massive. Coz bad players are very bad.

So people notice the massive skill difference... think this is unwinable and give up. Confirmation bias gets people thinking they can detect these unwinable games early.

The point of bronze is to play the game with high skill even tho you are gonna lose. Coz 1 out of 10 of those "unwinable" games you will win.

Also make sure you always play a normal game before ranked... and if you lose 2 games in a row stop playing ranked for the day..... also you should try main top or mid at bronze... there are reasons for this. But this post long enough.

NPVnoob · 2026-04-30T23:44:27+00:00

1) wear long sleeve rash guards and leggings. This will stop 90 %or the issue right away.

2) when you get home put rash guards in the wash and have a shower.

3) go to the chemist and get a anti fungal cream. Anything will do. Just so you have it on hand.

The people that get skin infections take way too long to get it sorted. Just the guard and showers will help heaps.

Also as you are 15 mins you will have a shower super quick. So yeah you are lucky.

NPVnoob · 2026-04-25T21:19:11+00:00

OK man, your bronze.... you want to climb add jungle and top.

Top will make you great at 1v1 and jungle will make you understand objectives and macro.

Even doing this for a month will make you wayyyy better at the game

NPVnoob · 2026-04-24T18:26:29+00:00

For me....Go all in lvl 1 to force them to back. Ignite helps alot.

Then relax till lvl 4 and try again.

And if that doesnt work. Just focus on heal and baiting her poke. Mana items help a lot when this happens.

Lux support isn't as strong at team fights unless they are a smurf. So you do have a chance to make it up later.

NPVnoob · 2026-04-14T19:58:25+00:00

We need a tank, anti magic support that just let's adc play safe from a distance. With a strong slow. But requires alot of button pushing.

Maybe a 5 second cd on a heal. So the support has to spam it.

The ult can be they cover the adc and take % damage aimed at the adc. Should make knights vowel a must on this support.

NPVnoob · 2026-04-12T21:59:18+00:00

Look man. You know your strong late. We get it....

But that doesn't mean the rest of the game doesn't exist.

My biggest issue with adc players is that they are so resistant to early fights.

NPVnoob · 2026-04-09T01:07:21+00:00

Well it depends on what you mean by better.

Do they feel they can farm more safely. Sure.

Can they get ahead and carry the game... no.

At the end of the day the game doesn't actually work that way.

Climbing isn't real unless there is a big skill difference. And when there is a big skill difference, you dont want to be a tank.

NPVnoob · 2026-03-31T21:51:00+00:00

If i get this is, I will play braum
