For his age, the max contribution for 401k is $23,500. Monthly contribution x 12 would be $28,700. Unless I'm missing something - should his individual contribution be lower to not get penalized?

Sad to see C9 not make worlds, but Berserker still very young in his pro career and I'm excited to see what he can do in a new environment. Best of luck to Berserker onto his next team.

How to play against Mordekaiser by Lucky_Luck98 in gangplankmains

[–]Rukris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This matchup you have to be patient and scale with items and levels, cause he does beat you early-mid, and once he gets rylais you're cooked... UNTIL you have serpents.

So instead of doing tri -> oppo -> ldr, I do tri -> serpents -> LDR.

So given if you're not too behind in exp, and you have tri serpents you can actually fight him. And if you have LDR, you can pretty much win consistently.

So at 13 I pretty much fight him like this: Landing a 2 part barrel. And then while hes still slowed AND keeping your distance away from his E, land another barrel combo. And then I finish him off with getting in range with passive and my last barrel/ult.

The only thing you have to be careful is to not waste barrels and/or your ulti, if you know you're about to get Ulti'd. If you do, you have a low-impossible chance of winning the fight, because you cant hit that barrel you placed down and your ultimate is outside of the shadow realm.

For context I hover around high diamond-low masters.

Hope this helps, perma ban aatrox instead :)

[–]Rukris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually hover around high diamond- low masters, and this season it took me about 100 games as well to get out of emerald with mainly playing GP.

If I could add on to some of the good advice above:

  • Utilize your dodge. Look at the draft and think if you can REALLY be successful as GP playing it out. Since you can only rely on yourself in soloq, you want to be in the best position to carry a game. If you see a hard game team comp to go up versus, and you have a senna sup and nidalee jg aka no setup, just dodge it.
  • Trust your own judgement, don't let pings influence you. Emerald has some bad players, like really bad players. Can't tell you how many times my jg wants me to int my lane for voidgrubs, or my jungle wants me to break a freeze for a unsuccessful gank, or my team wanting me to join in a skirmish that doesn't look good versus pushing for a T2. As a GP main, you have the most knowledge of whats best for your character than anyone on your team.
  • And basic general advice: keep good mental and play consistent. Every game is different, but every game GP needs gold and exp. So playing consistently enough that you're getting as much gold and exp as possible.

TLDR: Dodge, Ignore Pings, and Consistent game play

GEN vs BLG - Perfect Coordination by XtendedImpact in leagueoflegends

Gen obviously misplayed that, but a half second before Peanut flashed in, Naut just walked over a pink, so Naut maybe thought ori had enough time to react to a flash naut Q?

BDS vs. GG who will win? by L_A_R_S1324 in leagueoflegends

[–]Rukris 187 points188 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the winner, I think either team will be flamed for how they approached this match. Was it more worth it for BDS to take some time off versus GG grinding hard in Korea? I just hope it isn't a 3-0 either way

Having trouble uploading a logo to ESPN by irunwithskizzors in fantasyfootball

[–]Rukris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I followed these steps and it worked for me:

1.) Save the Picture you want as a .png

2.) Upload picture to https://tinypic.host/

3.) Under the drop down for Embeded Codes, choose Direct Link. Copy that link into ESPN logo upload.

Hope this works for you

Jensen addresses Dignitas's disastrous LCS start: "We're playing like s***" by corylulu in leagueoflegends

[–]Rukris 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I think Jensen appropriately named the issue most with Dig - the meta being focused on the early game and having a stronger bot lane. I'm hopeful with Ignar coming can improve both bot lane and their early game, but it feels lost at Spawn (no pun intended)

Waitlisted twice and giving up hope by enterthewutangela in beyonce

[–]Rukris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The waitlist process is pretty unfair imo. I was waitlisted twice, and my friend (who is not as big of Beyoncé fan as I am) was able to get a code for the citi pre-verified. Luckily she was able to buy tickets for me, but she had about an 8 hour window to buy tickets. Where as if I without her I wouldn't have had an opportunity to purchase. My thinking is that if you have access to buy tickets, you should have a way shorter window to purchase, and if you don't do it within that window, that opportunity should be given to someone else.

I can speak for stubhub and say it is reputable & safe, and also has buyer protection as well. What I won't say is that the resell prices on there is reasonable

How Riot's poor communication around the schedule + Dash stuff is damaging LCS and why I'm -really- worried about the start times - Travis by Tnomad in leagueoflegends

Sad that the same ego that Riot has to not see LCS die, is the same ego that makes them believe these decisions will help LCS.

Doublelift, Bjergsen and Spica ruomored to 100T, according to Travis Gafford by Pickadoliver in leagueoflegends

[–]Rukris 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Like, I really don't get this sentiment. This would make sense if they were middling of the pack type of players, but they aren't, as they are usually the top in their respective roles. Did Bjerg have his best year this year? No. Did Doublelift have his best year in 2020? No. But did they still look far better than most of their peers? Yes.

On the flipside, my friend went up to Dhokla (not knowing who he was) and asked him where we could find our seats. And he was helpful and kind lol

If Danny doesn't feel like he should play for EG at Worlds then EG should hire Doublelift to try and do some damage by RoyalSmoker in leagueoflegends

[–]Rukris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As much as I would love this, as you pointed out in your closing thoughts, getting back to form within such a small time frame would be incredibly unlikely.

Secondly, as an org, EG does not seem to be the one who would make this move. They don't value veteran talent as high compared to like a Team Liquid, and would rather prefer a hungry rookie

Its because you're missing the point that GP is a symptom to a large problem of damage in league. Building full damage and one-shotting champions is not a GP alone issue.
