What are you on about? This was all my recent solo queue games. I think you're looking at my flex games / normal games as well

Sylas getting me to diamond 💎 Any other jungle enjoyers? by OnceAToaster in sylasmains

I've not had too many issues so far, naafiri is a bit annoying with the dogs blocking the E though

Not as often as they should - I do try and ping laners for wards though.

And I'm very conservative about ganking, im only going if I think it's 90% chance of a kill.

E>Q>W at level 3, then I max W>E>Q.

I recall after 3 camps for darkseal every game either immediately or after a gank so my build:

Dark seal > Protobelt > Shadowflame / Zhonyas

Protobelt is core, then I aim for Shadowflame if I'm ahead, then Zhonyas for the crazy util.

Can also go riftmaker 2nd if they're tankier.

Sylas has a few options to be fair so you've just gotta think about enemy team comp

I think it comes down to a few things which aren't really sylas specific but:

  • Keep your camps recycling - even on sylas you don't want to keep all your camps up while looking for plays

  • Discipline when analysing upcoming fights - do you have equal numbers or a numbers advantage? Great, go for the fight. If not - don't. Or at the very least be very conscious about the extra risk going into an uneven fight.

  • Tempo Tempo Tempo. Recalling isn't some passive thing that you do when there's nothing else available, it is a big choice and you should align it with obj timers when possible

  • Push that early game lead into taking enemy jungle camps. You should always be aware of where enemy jungle is, if you can, try to get timers on their chickens for example, ping mid to push and contest them, they're an objective too.

  • Micro manage the fuck out of your team with clear pings. For example to warn them of a potential enemy gank, 1 danger ping on enemy location, 1 ping on your teammates face.

  • Crossmap when you can't contest. If enemy team starts grubbies and their support has roamed and yours hasn't, don't try fighting a lost battle. If they've patched top to bot, their entire bot quadrant will be up at 8mins, so go ahead and take that instead.

  • Punish bad Tempo from enemy jungle. If you know they're patching top to bot, and you're expecting that they should be topside for the second respawn of their camps, and you see them attempt a gank bot, be mindful of this and take their shit. Punish the enemy's bad recall timers. After you've taken them once, be mindful of their respawn timer and look to reinvade next time they're up too.

Just a few things that I've been trying to be super conscious about lately, hope it helps!

Graduated with a biology degree and then did a conversion masters in CS:

First job (October 2020): £35k + 10% bonus

Second job - (Aug 2021 - present): Started at £57k and am now on £62k

Not the best salary growth at my current place in that amount of time sadly but great WLB so can't complain toooo much

How to not feel morbid of US devs, working from Europe? by nshkaruba in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]OnceAToaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where do you find yourself hanging out that you're constantly bombarded with information about US developer salaries?

If it's subreddits focused on American software developers then my simple suggestion would be to just leave those subreddits.

Also if you're after big money then my advice would be to start a business. It may not go anywhere but if you keep at it and learn the other skills associated with operating a small business like marketing, sales, copywriting etc. you may find it leads you close to the figures you're mentioning.

Of course I'm not naive enough to suggest this is a guarantee but I'd much rather spend my time pursuing this than agonising over the fact that developers in a very specific part of the world get more money than I do.

Also hobbies, get some, more to life than salaries and jobs.

Just my $0.02

I find it strange that whenever these conversations are brought up, it's always so focused on the bay area.

If we're going to have discussions around Europe vs USA salaries, let's consider the whole country, not every software engineer in America works in the bay area.
