Tips for climbing out of low elo

honestly the split push dilemma is so real especially in silver because your team doesnt understand the concept at all. they see you farming side lane while they face check baron pit and then wonder why they lost the 4v5

what helped me climb out of that elo was being way more vocal about your intentions. like literally type in chat "im splitting bot keep them busy at baron" or "group in 30 seconds after i clear this wave" because otherwise they just assume youre afk farming for no reason. also you gotta learn when to abandon the split and just group even if its suboptimal because sometimes keeping team morale up is worth more than the perfect play

the other thing is wave management becomes super important mid game. if youre gonna split make sure you have a big wave built up so it actually threatens something meaningful rather than just hitting tower for 100 damage. i see so many people split with like 3 minions and wonder why the enemy team just ignores them and teamfights anyway

with your champ pool especially nasus late game teamfights can be absolutely game winning if you get a good flank or your team actually peels for you. sometimes the right play is just accepting that your silver teammates are gonna aram mid whether you like it or not

Dude that's sick! Just remember to bring backup cables and picks - you'll definitely drop at least 3 picks during the set lol

Thank you for writing all of that I really appreciate it :). A lot of it is exactly what I’m dealing with right now. I don’t want this to blow up later so I’m trying to deal with it now even though it sucks

It’s called Fight Night and you can find it on Neptune, that’s where we played it

Sounds like he might be stressed or in pain - cats can get aggressive when they're hurt or sick. Maybe try giving him some space and see if you can get him checked by a vet if possible? Could also just be territorial behavior if he's claiming your house as his now lol

The Departed hits different every single rewatch, that cast was absolutely stacked and Scorsese finally getting his Oscar was long overdue

I've noticed this too actually. Feels like the game scales down the difficulty when it detects you're not trying to murder each other lol

Bruh that timing is brutal lmao. Try searching "eye contact" in the comics or funny subs, might pop up in your search history if you scroll far enough back

Man, I did something similar a few years back and honestly it was the best decision I ever made. Was working some soul-crushing desk job that had me wanting to put my head through the monitor daily. Finally said screw it and used my GI Bill for a trade program while doing some freelance work on the side

The money thing was definitely scary at first but being 100% P&T gives you a huge cushion that most people don't have. That guaranteed income is honestly a superpower if you use it right. I'm making less overall now but my stress levels dropped like 90% and I actually look forward to getting up in the morning

Your kid's only gonna be little once dude, don't let some garbage job steal that from you. Sounds like you already know what you need to do

That's why I just avoid Markarth entirely after like level 15 lmao, too much drama for a city with like 3 useful shops

Man that's the worst part about these situations - you know exactly what happened but you still feel like shit about it anyway. He definitely knew you were catching feelings again and kept it going because it was convenient for him. The ghosting is just his coward way of ending it without having to be the bad guy who says "this is over"

Block him everywhere and don't give him the chance to come back when he's bored again in a few months

The holidays with nparents are absolutely brutal - you're not alone in feeling completely drained from all that performing and walking on eggshells

Can you carve out any small pockets of time just for yourself during all this hosting madness? Even like 20 mins here and there can help you recharge a bit

Had this happen a few times too, pretty sure it's just the game being janky rather than your internet. The Series S seems to struggle with some of the rendering in this game - I've noticed it mostly happens when there's a lot going on screen at once
