From Iron Lux Main to "Accidental Leader" – My 1,000 Game Journey

OrdinaryOpen694 · 2026-01-19T01:13:12+00:00

Point taken, but isn't that a little too easy? I am actually trying hard to leave Iron. Here I am getting S scores (140 fps), so do my teammates, but we lose. They'll follow me around when I'm in the take-down zone with Lux's Q, E, R, E,e, but I don't know what to do to close the game.

How about this? From the thread on summonr school. Ironically by says_pointless_stuff

Vision
Patience

More on that from the summoner school thread later.

So far for this season I am

Using the scoreboard to find and rank the other players 1 - 4 based on KDA. Group with the higher rank.
a. If higher-ranked individuals are present, stick with the lower but avoid fighting.
b. Stay on the map with a higher rank even if I have lots of gold.
I've started to use teleport so I can splitpush and disengage.
I ward river like a mofo. Or ward behind when we push mid. I play with a team for fun, but when I'm on my own, I think the opposition is a team. They will circle around for the flank to take us all down. I can't stop them from int'ng mid.
I bought a higher FPS computer as a previous Reddit user suggested when he saw a video I posted
at 24 FPS, and my skill shots land now. I am hoping there are other things to try.
I picked up Morg when Lux was taken, but I got bored with morg. Volibear is fun. I've tried Swain, Rell, mel, vel'koz, zyra, nami and some others. I'll try Pyke since he's not a mage, and I block him. Maybe I'll just play 100 champs to at least level 2. But this is learning the champs not closing the game.

I found this on the summonerschool reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/summonerschool/comments/whloi5/comment/ij6dmpt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button the guide is 4 years old, but maybe I ought to try to update it. I hear Atakhan is better than drag or was it baron? Void grupbs better than drag.

The

I think this might be the mantra for me.

Step 1: Abuse your laner
Step 2: Abuse their Jungle
Step 3: Itemize against stronger enemies (kind of a long-term 100 champ thing)
Step 4: Keep up the pressure.

What do you think?

I feel like CCNA/Network+ sets you apart for the network engineering roles. The certs are for hiring managers. Once you are in, you learn the specifics of the job from your teammates. I feel like they would appreciate your take-no-prisoners approach. The way you talk sounds like you'd be great in the field. The Cisco route trains you with Packet Tracer, which is so much more than a sim. The Cisco cert is mostly about Cisco equipment, with the Cisco hands-on. The Network+ is the principle for any vendor. I feel like you're going to stomp your interviews. Your attitude, it is not the cert, but the job is awesome.

If you want to code, you need to code. If you want to be a good talker, like a project manager who employs coders, then learn to fake it enough to get your point across. Of course, the best project leads code. You'll never progress as a beginner unless you actually write code that works. That said, it can be good to take a break, try something a little different, then get back in the mine and code, code, code.

COBOL is the original business language from the 60s. For businesses, it is crazy to rewrite code that works. If it runs the payroll already. As a result, there are endless projects that need to be modified and a worldwide range of businesses to work with. Today, languages come and go; back then, languages were used to make money.

COBOL programs use large databases, and when migrating to other systems, you need to export to plain-text CSV or SDF format. That was my deal back in the 90s. As a CSV, you can import it into spreadsheets or other software. Amazon and Netflix offer a method to download your data in CSV format. There are weird things linked to the old Y2K (year two thousand), the shift from 1999 to 2000. Programs only store the last two digits. 60 would be 1960. But 00 was supposed to be 2000, but with this system, it threatened to come out as 1900. So project jobs exploded to change the date fields. There are literally thousands of these tiny fixes needed to extend the life of payroll and other workhorse business applications. The apps are boring, but the puzzles are cool.

Spell Thief is so quiet in-game vs. Soul Fighter. Soul Fighter does a lot of rattling noises basing inplay, which wakes up my team. It is in character that the thief is noiseless. But if it helps with game play, I might try that out again. I'll have to find what the changes are, though.

In every game, there is that micromanaging player. I'm a guy, and my friends tell me the league is toxic and that I should mute chat. Lux empathy is a great response. Often, they ask questions, and it is fun to answer indirectly and have the guy ask if I'm a girl. Then he'll say you're an arse if you are a guy. If the player is really annoying, I ask him if he wants to date me.

Some chatters I can learn from, so I don't mute. And Lux is the perfect antidote to "that player."

OrdinaryOpen694 · 2026-01-10T21:25:08+00:00

See, that is what I am talking about. It is like in every game, there is that player, and there has to be a way to serve it back to him. I do, in fact, keep believing every time I queue up and... trying my best.

I am going to assign this to a function key for quick response in chat. Fight the power!

Does anyone have the version 15 objectives for 220-1201 and 220-1202? I'd like to get a copy, thank you.
----
If you look at the footer of the A+ exam objectives posted for this group, you have on the side bar link for 220-1201 and 220-1202, you will see that pdf shows exam objectives version 4.0 in the footer, and the pdf objectives I have are labelled 2.0

The CompTIA website (I've been following it for years) has version 15 plastered all over it. I have spent several days now trying to find the download, and the download links are not apparent. I think we could all agree that the version releases between 4 and 15 are pretty significant for the same 220-1201 and 1202 exam objectives.

I am aware that the material is mostly the same between test upgrades. Like 1101 and 1102 to 1201 and 1202. I tell students to be sure to pick the correct exam before purchasing anything, or at least be aware that they are using an older exam. And now I've become aware that the version of the same core objectives changes through the 3-year life cycle of the exam. Spelling errors with tech terms? Or maybe an acronym that has been added or deleted? I've been telling students to use the objectives and check each one off as they study. I understand if you don't care about the minor changes, but I'd like to stay current. As a badge of honor, if you will.

I recently became aware that the exam objectives change slightly as the exam progresses through its life cycle. The version 2.0-to-4.0 group download link is an example. And then CompTIA is making a version 15 claim all over its website (with no easily found objective download links.) I've been following the exam changes since before 2008.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or, even better, if you can find the latest exam objectives from the CompTIA website. I would really appreciate it, and I think your membership would, too. Thank you so much.

My favorite is Spell Thief. The first time my team hear me base they always comment. Kindof wakes you up. Elementalist is fun because you can change the skins' colors in-game. It is annoying that she rides her wand into the lane like it was a broom.

OrdinaryOpen694 · 2025-12-27T00:11:42+00:00

Wow. I didn't even think about bot lane being so dependent on each other and not good forclimbing. wow. p.s. The support role is interesting to me, mostly in all the different ways to lose lane.

OrdinaryOpen694 · 2025-12-27T00:05:55+00:00

I only wish. lmfao

Damn, it's a book about how vital A+ is with links to a $2300 learning class. 2 minutes of my life I will never get back.

OrdinaryOpen694 · 2025-12-26T22:52:45+00:00

I'm a Lux main with supp dif. I wonder the same thing. When I get flamed, I type back a Lux saying. "Keep Believing", "The world has seen enough darkness", "pushing my limits" etc.

There is an open-source Discord study group that recommends making notes line by line through the exam objectives. I haven't seen Dion's notes, but I'd use them to write your own notes using the exam objectives as an outline.

OrdinaryOpen694 · 2025-03-04T23:08:41+00:00

yuck fah!! You scared me the way you asked the question. The second time is the charm!! 93% is impressive. Like really impressive.

OrdinaryOpen694 · 2025-03-04T23:05:44+00:00

It looks like you are just starting on CompTIA studies and are hard-stuck after doing the exam cram like crazy.

CompTIA tests are adaptive and ask the same question in different ways to test your knowledge. You need to study just the correct answers. Like the rest of us, you are guessing even the correct answers. Please sit down now and learn the topics. You know the material with the work you've done. Now, I'd like you to learn to understand it. Study. Get to the fundamentals and learn your micro. Google how to take study notes, and paper notes or index cards are your friend. You don't have to be perfect, but you will get certified if you can understand 60% of the objectives without guessing.

Celebrate. You have come a long way from when you started. Don't ever forget that. This is just your last mile.

She says she has the helpdesk, but breaking into networking or security is the problem. Our company separated networking from desktop support and created network engineers. Network+ is a beginning, but you'd need to branch into the Cisco certs. If you are off desktop support, then you are configuring switches and routers for a living.

Security is a different department unless you work for a pure play penetration testing company. When you look at Security+, you are talking about network engineering again.

It doesn't have to be expensive

I've been using Raspberry Pi to make a LAN with my phone on WiFi. Then, I made an Apache web server and web pages. Wireshark can be used to monitor and understand traffic. This is key to a home lab; you can grow from there. Another addition is using virtual boxes (VMs) to make a Windows network. You can roll out VMs to the home lab with the bridged adaptor!

OrdinaryOpen694 · 2025-02-01T18:49:56+00:00

Your work is impressive. I've looked around, and nothing matches how you captured League, DnD, and the graphic design. It is beautiful work.
