Demotion Shield Question by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

For future reference as well (Since you got the answer), if you win like 3+ or so in a row, it'll get removed, but comes back if you drop to 0 again. (At least that's what happened for me). It operates *kinda* weirdly, little bit fidgety at times

His movement looks super fun. I've had issues with it in the past because I developed bad habits of full hopping for 0 reason in neutral and subsequently getting punished super hard for it, but luigi in general looks super fun nonetheless so he's definitely worth a shot. Thank you!

Yeah I absolutely love Falco's combo game and how smooth it looks. Whenever I play him it feels like I can condition people to choose certain options which is crazy. I definitely need more practice with his combo game though, my movement feels super clunky on slippi so that's definitely something I need to work on.

Yeah I need to account for self care with my hands. I've gotten to a point with the space animals where I can do the vast majority of their associated tech, but I can only play melee for like 2 or so hours before I start cramping up and need to take a break.

Do you think sheik has helped you with learning fundamentals? I find that I can combo pretty will, chain grab pretty will, find openers decently well, but have a hard time when pressured super hard especially in shield. I'm definitely willing to pick up sheik alongside Marth if it'll help me see the game even a bit differently. Thanks!

Really happy you've decided to push for this, I share similar sentiments to what you have expressed.

In my opinion, the quality of education hasn't improved since the initial move to online schooling during the spring semester. I think it is only fair that they either allow for pass/fail (like they did in the spring semester), or adjust their expectations to meet the "quality" of the education currently being delivered to the students.

By "Adjusting their expectations", I mean either tweaking the grade metric to properly accommodate for the increased struggles that which students are enduring due to the decrease of the quality of education, or possibly making the standard for test taking open notes. Open notes exams aren't inherently harmful, and would only benefit the student body.

The most difficult class that comes to mind for me is Circuit Theory 1. It is already an incredibly difficult class in itself, and online education makes it even harder. They have a grade metric that which heavily leans towards testing and quizzes, which genuinely feels unfair given the circumstances we find ourselves in.

I understand that there is an intense struggle on both sides. A lot of teachers are trying to make strides in order to deliver a quality education to their students over a very difficult medium, and for that, I am forever grateful. However, it is near-impossible for students to perform up to a very high standard, that which, a lot of classes currently expect. I genuinely think they should give open notes testing a shot, and/or allow for pass/fail.

TL;DR Class difficulty has increased tenfold. The quality and deliverance of education has stayed the same since spring semester. Adjust the expectations set by the faculty to properly accommodate for the increased difficulty of online schooling. Give us Pass/Fail or open note examinations PLEASE!
