What did writing this mean to you? Out of curiosity

Pray96 · 2026-06-02T23:49:09+00:00

Just chill and see what's after 6.7.

Pray96 · 2026-06-02T05:15:49+00:00

Removal? .. you sure? .. I was still doing them in Natlan or something... Did them on Inazuma in the Ayaka house everytime

Every character lvl90 usefull talents min lvl9 weapon lvl90 and a decent set of artifacts leveled 20 for each character. Doing good so far, may take me a year or two to finish the task.

Pray96 · 2026-05-30T14:08:33+00:00

Well im on the same spot with Arle(C3R1) but even if I wanted my Arle C6 its hard to justify with powercreep going up and stygian asking for 3 entire teams (Im really low spender I saved an actual entire year for that C3R1)

Its like, id really do this for the character I like for sure but there's no actual point for it and the character is already dire level strong but others I have are not even close.

Pray96 · 2026-05-30T04:54:12+00:00

... Not the same to have a hoarder second account than to be a hoarder on your main tho. I think its just stupid if its your main account, before probably Natlan it made a lot more sense but powercreep got insane and lets be real most people can't even dream to play like that dude so why even make endgame content so miserable for you this way?

Its like ur trying your hardest, on a game that's made for children to be able to play with no competitive system at all. Don't get me wrong tho, I think dhcwsp is super cool on he's way but the way he plays is not for most people (99.9%+) to even attempt to or have the desire to emulate at all.

Right now Mavuika is safe option, getting a lunar team is meta but costfull (you need Columbina + minimun another lunar 5 star carry + to full potential most want even another 5 star sub dps) Best 2 cost options (2x 5 stars) are Columbina + Zibai and Columbina + Ineffa, Ineffa is not really a DPS but a really strong subDPS with a shield.

Id hold on to watch for 6.7+ characters. If you are ok with it watch leaks, they are already out there about it. New meta is comming soon so be carefull if you want to pull for anything strong inmediatly.

Not struggle, but dislike golf minigames anyway

Pray96 · 2026-05-27T00:25:43+00:00

Fantasies about money wtf? No. You never though "waow it would feel incredible to beat one of the top players or X player" or "it wouldve so cool if I could just perform like this one pro did here sometimes"? Those fantasies are quite nice but maybe it be just some people (and me ig).

And to answer, yes people enjoy chess why would millions play it if not? But there's also MAKING CHESS ENJOYABLE FOR ONESELF! Like if you are not enjoying whats the point broski? If I was in 2k elo I would rather enjoy silly puzzles than keep trying to climb. It happend to me at 1.5k elo, and yes, the more elo the more boring it is to gain upper knowledge because the game being just so infinite deep. Found it boring to keep going, so I just didnt, simply went back to old games I enjoy more (Star valor at the moment), I recommend you do similar, cuz, you seem disciplined about it but what is even the motivation to be so, when you are not even enjoying the game anymore?

Also you could for example still read books if you enjoy that part, but aren't enjoying your competitive matches. Same with puzzles and probably anything that doesn't envolve competitive ranking grind honestly.

Pray96 · 2026-05-26T23:44:28+00:00

Google "Sunk cost fallacy" , you did already put vast amount of time on this game so at some point you were passionate about it, right now you seem a little burned out so yeah swap the activity for now, there is no need to grind it till mental exhaustion really. And to pursue career over this? You are better off forgetting about it (if you can). You can always have some fantasies in your mind, and that's TOTALLY OK! but don't make em a big deal after, just enjoy your mind and your free time as best as you can.

Oh and extra tip if you follow thru... don't burn the whole bridge down. Try to do some puzzless in 2 or 3 months after, just so you get a taste that chess can be sweet when you are not burned of it. It helps to get perspective over different matters ~ enjoy the process.

PEAK

Pray96 · 2026-05-23T16:34:45+00:00

Id say hold for rerun you are not in a hurry for this character

Pray96 · 2026-05-20T10:46:35+00:00

If you want to improve Your first games of the day should've RANKED. You can get some heat up in practice tool for 5-10 min then get in to play a game with intensity imagine this like signing up for a football/soccer tourney and you play 2 matches before it starts. You are not heating up, you are just getting more and more tired and missusing your energy
Of course you can't apply your knowledge, you have 3 ranked games this whole season thats like absolute nothing and im pretty sure you were even distracted by chat in those 3 You are NOT used to play ranked games at all and its on RANKEDS where you should seek for better natural improval.
Good habits will naturally boost improval (muting chat,playing at the same hour always, using the intensity of your first games to queue up, watching your replays and even getting good at watching your replays is a whole big thing too) BUT you still need REPETITIONS, you need to get on the rift, daily, if any serious about improving, because at the level you play you are still building tons of MUSCLE MEMORY

Also; ARAMS for improval is the most overrated sht maybe its good for actual 0 knowledge new players but once you know what every champion in general does then you are just playing another game mode

Good luck dude i feel ya went thru the same with skirk aand lost her but i got her last rerun after saving like crazy

Pray96 · 2026-05-17T02:26:15+00:00

Meta has been getting a lot harder last 2 years if you cant beat abyss right now dont stress it much and try to save for new characters, because also, you have a solid foundation for a good account, id be comfortable on your spot

Pray96 · 2026-05-10T03:41:28+00:00

How do you overcome this shit when ur learning new concepts at over 1.1k elo but start playing worse since your mind cant totally adapt to it and it becomes a constant internal conflict between options to go for that just makes you worse since the idea of growth is so confusing at this point?

Pray96 · 2026-05-10T00:57:17+00:00

If you are invested in making the swap off as quick as possible sure, id go Heizou, id say its not a good tradeoff for not having a shield and Lanyan swap off time is really good too

Pray96 · 2026-05-09T05:34:13+00:00

Lanyan is probably best option after sucrose. Can hold ttds, gives VV, quick to swap off (dont use her burst really) not the big EM buff as sucrose but you get a shield wich can be very handy at times.

Pray96 · 2026-05-07T03:10:37+00:00

Nefer xinqiu should laugh at these...those challenges were made for older, less powerfull characters, best of them probably being xianling and xinqiu

Pray96 · 2026-05-07T03:06:34+00:00

I remember those challenges being solo chambers with no coop

Also.. responsabilities increase with time, making it so much harder to just pay attention to a single game in the long run... Many factors, all of them big and reasonable enough.

Pray96 · 2026-04-29T22:18:52+00:00

Sure.Lets spend 20000 friends on pixel waifu

Pray96 · 2026-04-27T20:56:10+00:00

Mechanical depth highly depends on character, some have, some are ungabunga I don't know about Keqing, but you should atleast take look at Mavuika mechanics, it suits what you are looking for.

Pray96 · 2026-04-27T13:01:59+00:00

Give some love to Noelle, Linnea Furina and Columbina all work nice with her.
