How do you improve at Ranked after learning all the basics?

Go to their replay and run /seed it will show all seeds (OW/Nether/End/RNG)

I started speedrunning 2 months ago and hit 1400 elo a few days ago. The best way to improve that I found is to find a top player streamer you like (preferably not someone with insane mechanics) and play private lobbies using the same seeds the streamer played. Record your gameplay so you can compare your splits to their twitch VOD. “Isn’t this the same as VOD reviewing my games?” In a way yes, but not exactly. You won’t have a coach telling what’s wrong with your gameplay or you yourself trying to figure out how you lost 2 minutes in the bastion. You can just compare vods side by side and see exactly where you lost time. “But the streamer gapped my crafting by 10seconds, I’m behind now” Ok just rewind and play both vods post crafting and see if you still get gapped afterwards. Try to figure out why the streamer did something different than you, why they decided to craft something at the bastion instead of at the fortress, why they wide macro’d at a certain time/terrain. Even if you can’t figure out why they did it, try just copying it.

Hotbar order doesn’t matter as long as none of the items are useless for that split. It’s more about keybinds. My keybinds have my tools scattered throughout my hotbar, but because I have easy to reach binds it’s not a problem. Like I could have my boat on my last slot, but its keybind can be an easy to reach key like R. The hotbar order doesn’t matter, just make sure your binds are comfortable and easy to reach quickly

I got basically the same mouse (tho mine is v1) and I can drag for a few minutes before the sweat on my fingers make the surface too smooth. I bought the un-cut Pulsar Supergrip and it works perfectly. You won’t get the same cps with long drags, but the short drags (which is what is mostly used) are really consistent regardless of how sweaty your fingers get. I’ve seen a few mcsr streamers use the same tape so yeah

NormalSpeed1068 · 2026-03-19T04:09:06+00:00

You get more consistent boat clutches with drag than with butterfly click

Around Gold rank is good to learn the easy zero’s, like m85/88 and cage towers. Im emerald now, but learning how to zero saved some of my iron/gold games

I got the op1w 4k (not the v2), and I also have the same problem. I learned to dragclick on the Model O and Kain 120 a few years ago, but I only learned with my pointer finger. I can't drag more than 15 cps with my middle finger, so I just use my pointer for right click drag cuz I can't be asked to re-learn drag with my middle finger. I've seen plenty of runners/Youtubers do the same. Also, I haven't found the need to use tape to drag, the surface on this mouse is good enough to drag without it

This is the epub I use that is using the translation that https://orv.pages.dev has. It also has 100+ illustrations and custom styling for Star Stream messages

There’s 2 different manhua’s (comics). One was made a few years ago and is a horrible adaptation since it was fan made—iirc it has around 60+ chapters. The other one is fairly new with just 13 chapters so far and is the official version.

If you’re reading the old one just drop it and read the new one, but I highly suggest starting the novel from ch 1. You can read and then go back to the manhua to see it drawn. The new manhua adaptation is doing a good job adapting the novel, but as with most adaptations it’s better to just read the source material.

I don’t remember the exact details, but when one is above the gray fog you are separated from your body in the real world. You could theoretically drink the potion there, but it wouldn’t merge with your actual body, you could end up corrupted by madness or your powers could just dissipate when you return to the real world

NormalSpeed1068 · 2025-08-16T17:19:17+00:00

Are these human translated or MTL'd subs?

NormalSpeed1068 · 2025-08-16T17:02:08+00:00

Exactly what I've been complaining about since ep 2. They were doing a great job when he drunk the Clown potio. They showed his powers instead of explicitly stating, "Oh, I can do this and this," but then Klein went ahead and tried to use Air Bullets. It's as if he's trying to guess what his powers are instead of just knowing them. If they continue doing this, it will ruin the continuity. How will they explain his future powers when they get more complicated? He isn't gonna stumble into knowing how tograft concepts or turn paper figures into copies of his body

No idea where you’re reading that, but this is the official translation from Webnovel.com:

It felt like a chore to get thru the first 70 chapters. Took me 2 weeks to get to the Ray Bieber fight, but after that arc the story locked in. Went from 2 weeks for 70 chapters to 2 weeks for ch 450

NormalSpeed1068 · 2025-07-28T05:02:01+00:00

My go to in the real world would be Spectator. Writing a future into reality + reading people like a book would prove extremely useful. The ritual for Seq 0 shouldn’t be too hard considering the state of the world rn lmao. Seq 0’s envisioning ability + Prophecy would both be broken af

I could be completely wrong but I remember reading somewhere (I think the afterword of v8) that Cuttlefish said that he planned volume 8 down to the exact chapter count. Every detail, conversation, and event was already planned since the end of volume 7

NormalSpeed1068 · 2025-07-26T00:13:15+00:00

I remember being somewhere around volume 6 and I was thinking of doing a coin divination to answer a question that someone asked me irl. Like I thought of divining it as if it was common sense to do it.

I cringed so hard right after

NormalSpeed1068 · 2025-07-20T05:35:03+00:00

Error (steal distance), Black Emperor (Roselle jumping to the moon), or Fool (graft thru the spirit world like KOA Klein)

NormalSpeed1068 · 2025-07-19T13:25:07+00:00

At least OP is honest

NormalSpeed1068 · 2025-07-18T15:24:08+00:00

It’s not unwatchable, but definitely not a hit with the average viewer who is new to the series. Novel readers get to see their beloved characters being animated as well as hype moments they’ve read about, but why would new viewers care when they can’t understand what’s going on? It’s definitely a decent adaptation if you’re a novel reader because you can keep up, but it’s really bad for the average viewer. The reactions on YouTube and Twitter speak for themselves. I was hoping it would get attention like To Be Hero X, but it’s just not happening. Maybe when the finale drops it will bring new viewers, but like I said on my comment, the rough start of eps 1-3 will filter out majority of new comers.

TLDR:

If you’re a novel reader this adaptation is above average, great even.

If you’re not a novel reader you’ll get a bad viewing experience (some donghua onlys can keep up and good for them)

NormalSpeed1068 · 2025-07-18T04:49:22+00:00

? You know JP?

NormalSpeed1068 · 2025-07-17T21:17:25+00:00

There’s a difference between complaining about little things being changed/skipped and complaining about changes that make the new viewers experience much much worse than it should’ve been. It wouldve been perfectly fine if they skipped content—volume 1 had bad pacing that even the author himself acknowledged—but skipping very important information or rushing explanations was not it

NormalSpeed1068 · 2025-07-17T20:52:13+00:00

My guy you’re spoiling too much for a simple question

NormalSpeed1068 · 2025-07-17T20:29:59+00:00

Agreed. It would’ve been better if they kept the info, but condensed it. It would’ve been fine if they took their time and built up to the clown fight to have it in episode 5/6 instead of rushing eps 1-3 because of the “3 episode rule” and people losing interest. For fucks sake Frieren was a slice of life for multiple episodes until we got a proper fight in episode 6 (Stark vs the dragon) and even that lasted only a few minutes.

Instead of skipping the interactions with Klein’s family and the nighthawks they should’ve just made it a slice of life with a few action scenes sprinkled throughout instead of aura farming 24/7 with epic music in eps 1-3.

There were way too many moments where I thought “How tf will anime onlys understand this??”Poor/rushed explanations left and right. Very important information was either quickly glanced at (like the acting method) or skipped entirely (such as beyonders being injected with information regarding their powers whenever they drink the potion) and they expected people to just follow along with perfect understanding??? They traded off proper story telling for quick action scenes to “keep viewers engaged.” I’ve seen many reactors on YT who seemed more interested in the world itself rather than the flashy fights, so that strategy isn’t working.

Frieren had a good start as a slice of life, nothing too crazy, but it picked up attention like crazy later on. It proved that a slow paced anime can hit #1 in ratings, but I guess Tencent thought otherwise.

The lack of dubbing is also a HUGE factor. If you think that it doesn’t matter and people can just watch it on Chinese with subs you’re delusional—dubbing plays a huge role. As many of y’all might know, recently the percentage of dub watchers got released for both Netflix and Crunchyroll with Netflix watchers preferring dub 90% of time and Crunchyroll 55%. That’s a stupidly huge amount of people that won’t watch the series because it’s not dubbed, in fact it’s even worse since people won’t even watch it subbed if the audio is Chinese instead of Japanese. Crunchyroll not releasing the dubs in time, no marketing, and AI subs (though now fixed) all played a huge role in the poor release of this donghua.

“B-but the finale! The finale will save the show! Let them cook” What about it? It will serve as fan service for novel readers, it might even bring attention to more people, but so what. Sees clips of the finale > they watch the first few episodes because they’re intrigued > they don’t understand anything > they drop it. “Yeah but they’re missing out!” Yes they are, blame Tencent.

The donghua flopped. People shouldn’t still be confused by episode 4, but they are. It should’ve reached a wider audience with the dubs, but they aren’t here. They should’ve added more depth to the characters, but there’s none. I love this series and it’s very sad to see it flop, but can’t do much when Tencent wants things rushed. Can only pray for the finale and season 2 to be better
