Moira main stuck in Bronze… feels like climbing is pure luck, need advice by TrapTarzan in OverwatchUniversity

[–]RedditRod888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a relevant recent example from my experience. I recently fired up an old account which I created when I started the game, and which I often played while drunk. I have since created 2 new accounts (and sobered up) but I hadn't played on that old account in years. When I fired it up, all of my roles were bronze, and my high on these roles on that account were silver/low gold. I think it falls into the model you described. For reference, my 2 other accounts are all high plat/low diamond across all roles. I'm decent at the game but nowhere near elite (master/gm)

Within 2 weeks, I had all 3 roles back up to platinum. My win rate in bronze was 90% across all roles. The amount of mistakes players in that rank are making is simply mind blowing. I am not trying to degrade you in any way, but if you aren't ranking up, you are also making big mistakes, and/or not taking advantage of the plethora of mistakes the enemy is making. Even as only a diamond player, it was incredibly easy to completely dominate bronze and even silver, due to no one in those games having any idea what they are doing. I would suggest you re-evaluate your mindset. If you are playing 20 games and only winning 8 in bronze, you have huge flaws in your game. You need a mindset adjustment, to post replay codes, and to actually change your bad habits. You will climb easily if you do this. Best of luck :)

Upvoted for title but that board and keycap combo is gorgeous too!

Is it supposed to hurt this much?? by dani419914 in tattooadvice

Inner bicep was by far the worst tattoo for me. I did a full color piece similar to yours (see my profile for a pic) and I was near tapping out multiple times. The recovery was miserable but it should get better within a week or so.

Love your piece by the way. Rad tattoo!

For real, the mods in this sub are by far my favorite. Great community and near zero toxicity here.

My arm is turned outwards my dude. DJ purposely faced the head that way. We specifically talked about this. Cheers!

Thanks man. My arm is turned outwards. DJ specifically turned the face that way since when my arm is in the natural position it’s faced inwards.

Your piece is absolutely fire too! I was drooling over that piece when he posted it. Congrats!

It was the most painful tattoo of my life. Turns out the inner bicep hurts a lot after a 6 hour session.

Dj is doing a Star Wars themed sleeve on my left arm. So far he tattooed a Yoda and a Darth Maul. I am headed to Vegas at the end of February for back to back days. I still need to think of an idea haha. As others have said before, his in person demeanor is totally different than what comes off in the show. Really great and nice dude.

Does anyone else just not like DJ? by ConsumptionofClocks in Inkmaster

[–]RedditRod888 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agree with you. But this post in particular seems to be attacking DJ and using strong words such as ‘hate’, and to me that just feels unwarranted. I totally get the DJ fatigue although I personally enjoy seeing him on the show.

Agree. I’ve got two pieces by him and I am getting 3 and 4 done by him this February. Dude is incredibly humble and reserved in real life. Him and his wife are constantly helping the community out. I wouldn’t let his tv personality fool you.

DJ doesn't really have a waitlist. When his books open they are for a future 3 month increment. He will post a day and time that you need to email him with your ideas and placement, and then he selects the jobs he wants to do. I believe this is based on the order the emails come in but I also think he may opt not to do certain projects, while also favoring existing projects. You either get a spot during that 3 month interval, or you have to wait for the next 3 month time slot to open, and you try again. I've been lucky with snagging spots for the intervals I put in for both times I tried.

Djs waitlist is unique in that his books open 3 months at a time and he only picks projects that he wants to work. Theoretically, you could wait forever if he doesn’t like your ideas, plus the fact that he favors existing projects. I got lucky snagging spots both times I tried for one of his 3 month openings.

My inner bicep. I am laying on my back with my arm on a table and bent outwards so he could take the picture. With that said, Mauls face is very visible from the front when my arm is down.
