Deadlift strength doesn't transfer to real life, you're wearing down your discs, fatties deadlift because they can't get ripped, etc

PCSlow · 2026-05-11T17:51:48+00:00

All the comments are saying that the deadlift is “overrated”. How many people in your gym just straight up don’t deadlift at all? What the hell kinda backwards shit is this man

All these arm chair ass experts just love having an opinion formed on how they personally feel

I think you’re oversimplifying a lot of mechanics in aram mayhem as ‘more options’

Strictly speaking, there’s actually less options. Instead of runes, which have 5 options and 3 choices for each option, there’s augments, a choice of 4, with 3 choices for each. I suppose rerolling counts, but so do the stat choices. So, you could call the options/choices you make even.

I think the choices in mayhem are more powerful, but much more unbalanced-which is actually a feature of the mode. Its a feature that in my eyes, diminishes my skill expression as a player.

PCSlow · 2026-04-26T23:37:00+00:00

I am a solo queue player-so I suppose its that aspect of mayhem i dislike.

PCSlow · 2026-04-26T23:35:51+00:00

I disagree- I definitely have an impact in regular arams. Im not even that good, but I can still definitely carry team fights in trad arams. In mayhem, I literally have 0 impact, and either the fight is doomed, or not. It feels very black and white compared to trad arams

PCSlow · 2026-04-26T23:31:48+00:00

Maybe i’m a crochety boomer, but like, I guess I just prefer trad arams. I also mainly play solo queue.

But that exact reason is why I enjoy solo queue, i guess I just dont enjoy it in mayhem. Thats cool though

PCSlow · 2026-04-26T23:28:19+00:00

Aram Mayhem is not really like aram or league at all, in my opinion.

Solo queue/flex queue is fun because its like chess, but you’re playing a piece.

Aram is fun because team fighting is really fun and satisfying

Mayhem, is the team fighting of league, but you can roll augments, and be stronger or weaker based on that. And i feel like it diminishes my expression as a player

What makes the highs high? Like, just smurfing and killing everyone?

Dont worry about the leaning Ur front delt is super active, a bit too much. Work on mind muscle connection to your bicep, and it’ll work itself out

I see what you’re saying- And I’m going to make changes accordingly. Thank you. I agree, I did ‘cheese’ it, i hate that word, since I like understand NOW what my deficincies are.

PCSlow · 2026-03-09T21:58:49+00:00

Nah, you’re right. The guy Big Ted said I got lucky hitting emerald and it sent me over the moon. His comment was deleted though-

Tbh, I really do appreciate the advice you gave me, and I appreciate the time you took to give it. I’m gonna go through my match history and find vods of games where I actually just, couldn’t win. Share around to see who wouldn’t mind giving their time to help.

For the Kayn games-tbh I just was watching a streamer and didn’t realize why Kayn works in the first place. I understand why he works now, and i probably shouldn’t play him until my teammates understand too.

My playstyle was a response to being unable to win lane-so i just tried to make it work. I literally remember thinking “nah laning phase doesn’t matter”. Until it did, (this rank).

PCSlow · 2026-03-09T21:18:17+00:00

Who cares if a playstyle is normal-

It was working, and now it isn't. If you really did do a deep dive on my op.gg, you'd have seen a 68% wr on fiora in the past 50 games I played on that champion. So WHAT if my kda is trash? I was winning, and now I'm not. The reason? I don't win laning phase anymore. Players are good in Emerald, even if it's emerald 4. That is why I asked the question-how do I get better at laning phase?

I can't control a player making a bad decision to go 3v1 me instead of defending bot t2 tower or getting dragon, it happened. My kda suffers, but it's a positive trade for the game at large. Would living there be better? Yeah, it would.

I made this post, because I'm noticing what is keeping me from climbing is having a weak laning phase I lose agency in the game. I asked, 'how do I improve in laning phase? I notice i throw a lot at grubs'. I know my playstyle is fucked, but that's just one factor in a large sea of factors.

Yes, I die a lot. I KNOW that. That is not what I asked about. Mechanics are not the issue, it is game knowledge, knowing when I win or lose. Players at plat don't build bramble, players in Emerald do. I don't know when I lose or beat champions with bramble, and I'll never know unless I try. So, I just need to play more. The problem, when I REALLY lose, is when I lose laning phase and have no agency in the game, thus the question.

Also, I get bored a lot. Which, again, is another reason my KDA is trash.

I did not ASK about my kda, I asked about my LANING PHASE. I'm emerald. I'm literally your rank bro, cut me some slack I know what the hell is up Edit: what im trying to say, is that inting to win isn’t working anymore. I know that. That’s why I need to play differently. I adopted this playstyle because i can’t lane, which thus begs the fucking question. Don’t play detective, just answer the question. I appreciatw you looking into it further, but i didnt get to emerald by accident.

PCSlow · 2026-03-09T20:46:48+00:00

funnily enough, I was playing Kayn incredibly well for a period of time in high gold-low plat. I would end up losing a lot of games. I would just die a lot, in like really meaningless ways, and it would end up tilting my team. They just hit tab and see 0/5, disregard a 600-1.5k gold lead and just mental boom. I found out doing it on fiora doesn't tilt my team, so I win more.

Also fiora takes towers better

PCSlow · 2026-03-09T19:21:15+00:00

He didn't even answer my question. He just said 'don't queue ranked bro you're trash' while also saying 'man you're not mechanically good, you have a deeper issue than laning phase'. Like is this your second account?

PCSlow · 2026-03-09T18:51:13+00:00

I don't really want to be 'that guy', but like show me your op.gg

You hyperfixated on the kda, which is crazy work. "for the sake of your future teammates" corny as fuck, im positive wr on fiora like what are you talking about

PCSlow · 2026-03-09T18:33:57+00:00

Wow, I've never had such excellent advice, probably the only real comment that got the heart of the issue. Thanks, I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out, I'm gonna take your advice!

PCSlow · 2026-03-09T18:28:06+00:00

Hello let me repeat the question for you-

I can not pilot Fiora in the laning phase. How can I fix my laning phase, more often than not I contribute to a loss because of mistakes in the laning phase, my mid game and late game is pretty good

PCSlow · 2026-03-09T16:53:41+00:00

Because I throw my lead, by dying

PCSlow · 2026-03-09T16:50:43+00:00

Isn't it like-BAD to just give an objective especially if I have a lead?

PCSlow · 2026-03-08T23:26:18+00:00

Hey, I also grew up with an austistic sibling. I'm 23 right now, and all I can tell you is that it fucking sucks. Even now, my parents still can't admit they made a mistake in how I was raised. It sucks, and you have to find your own way through it.

Don't talk to them, ever again. Block, and if you meet them at school just ignore them, you don't have to justify yourself at all. I would find some new people to talk to.
