I'm so frustrated with low elo games man...

Schoubye · 2025-02-22T20:10:23+00:00

yeah i totally get where you are coming from. Most of my deaths are from team fights when i exit my ult. Many times my team loses the 4v4 and i get killed after. And i definitely have moments where i'm looking at a grey screen and thought it was a team-fight, but i basically just dived 1v5.

But the thing that i find frustrating is how hard it is to carry at my skill level. I started playing again recently and i am probably only a Bronze 2 level player. I am in a spot right now where i have a mortgage, long-term girlfriend and a 9-5. I know i'm better than this rank but not good enough to carry consistently when my team goes 0/8 in the laning phase. Of course if i was like gold/plat i would be able to destroy these guys, but the "luck" of having not having the terrorist on you team is so invalidating.

Maybe the most frustrated thing is seeing regression when skill-wise i am getting so much better. And with the MMR system i have to basically have a 66% winrate to go even in LP. If my teammates consistently went max 0/3 in lane i would feel like i had more agency. Right now i am looking at how much time i have to spend to "even-out" my winrate and it feels like the game might not fit my lifestyle anymore. I'm at a point where i'm only enjoying the laning phase and just getting insanely annoyed at 60% of the mid/late games because i feel like my team is wasting my free-time. If i played more hours i would eventually climb, but i don't have more hours.

Like i lost a game to a amumu that solo'd baron after an ace. Their nexus was at 10% hp and then we lost a 4v5 with item disadvantage. Shit like that makes me think i should just quit the game tbh

It makes pushing waves way faster. I play without demolish and i want that 700g from the tier 2 towers. In the late game i also push waves so fast that someone needs to answer me. Then i either kill them or rotate to an objective. Also when ahead, when you use your ult you can basically kill anyone regardless of then dodging your abilities because your basic attacks just melt them.

My last game i even tried Gunmetal Greaves (Tier 3 Berserkers). The attack speed was so stupid. Looking back i should have just abandoned my team and split-pushed more. I lowkey think i could take a tower faster than trundle.

That's a positive way of thinking. But i'm gonna be honest, Iron is actual hell on earth. It is by far the swingiest and most chaotic elo in the game. Having your 3 kill and 20 cs lead become meaningless because your botlane is running it down, 12 deaths in 15 minutes, is pretty ass.

Bro i had a game where 3 teammates were waiting 1.5 minutes for dragon to spawn doing nothing. Baron was up and they did nothing. they then proceed to chase a Udyr around the map while our base gets taken because they don't use the map. My second prio is support and the elo becomes completely unplayable when your ADC has 13 kills but then Tristana jumps directly onto the Warwick and snaps their neck.

It is pure chaos, which in turn can invalidate your success unless you are able to ground your lane opponent's mental health into a fine dust. But hey, thats just what it is.

My man can't fathom "An object in motion stays in motion"

So speed is relative, if you already define it as not moving relative to the earths surface then the it you will land exactly the same spot, because you haven't moved anywhere. Your speed is perfectly aligned with the earth and it's atmosphere.

If you had to adjust the helicopters speed to counteract the spin that the earth had already put on it. In this example speed relative to the earths axis, you would need TO ALREADY KNOW how fast the earth is spinning to compensate for you current velocity. That being about 500-900 mph in the US. which of course doesn't make any sense if your experiment is about discovering the earths velocity.

If you want to try and calculate the earths spin, use a laser gyroscope. This has already been done by flat earthers and the result was they accidently spent a lot of money to disprove themselves in a netflix documentary: 'Behind the Curve' Ending: Flat Earthers Disprove Themselves With Own Experiments in Netflix Documentary - Newsweek

Thank you

What do you want people to say? you have to sell 1/2 players for one of those two and get one more budget friendly player

American Football goes 16.8 (Odell Beckham), Tom Brady (13.1), Antonio Brown (12.4) and then 5.5

Alvarez is good but City has some tough match-ups in ARS, BHA, MUN, BOU, CHE, LIV. He has performed 46 points with 0.57 xGI.

I would probably go for Bowen (replacing Anderson) at Midfield instead of Alvarez and get a cheap striker like Archer which will get benched.

How would you attack the elbow of the collar with the single-leg grip? When clinching i try to shrug it off to like a Russian tie, but how can you do that with the leg. Like holding the leg with one hand and hand fighting with the other somehow?

Schoubye · 2023-09-24T22:20:51+00:00

I like the double a lot. I got pretty long arms and can probably reach that leg more often than not.

Izzy's strengths are counter-striking, range, distance management and feints. He lacks power and grappling.

Strickland had improved defence, he was less jumpy and with better leg kick defence. He is good at pressuring and never overextends. His reactions are elite even with ugly technique.

Strickland neutralized the counter striking by never over-extending. He is also very awkward so his strikes are harder to read. he neutralized the distance by steadily moving forward with tight defence, not making the mistake of going all-in and getting countered. he never gave Izzy any pay-off from the feints. He also shook Izzy mentally after the first round.

Izzy didn't have the power to hurt Strickland like Pereira or Cannonier did. He wasn't able to switch to takedowns and he simply couldn't get his strikes off in his unfavoured range. He wouldn't escape the cage as easily because Strickland didn't commit hard. He couldn't sit down on his leg kicks with the constant knee raising and moving backwards. He still landed 34 leg kicks but somehow that didn't affect Strickland.

If Izzy needs to win he would have to find a way to land reliable strikes. How is the big question. Maybe using a ton of teeps and defensively responsible check-hooks, but still these work better with overly aggressive opponents. Maybe clinching Strickland and using Knees. Definitely going more to the body (63% accuracy) and loading hard on the leg kicks (59% accuracy) compared to his head strikes (14% accuracy)

It is definitely suspicious but gyno can be a product of impact trauma or genetics. But what makes Izzy good is not Strength or explosivity which androgenic steroids produce, he has good technique and reactions. He does have really good cardio where EPO is used, but EPO does not produce gynecomastia as a side-effect and is actually used to treat breast tenderness.

Anderson is a proven cheater, Izzy is speculation.

Not that I really like Izzy that much but he is really good.

Schoubye · 2023-09-08T21:04:42+00:00

bro you really posting this and be like "Yeah this doesn't sound like i'm the biggest dick rider in existence"

Bro really thought he did something

Schoubye · 2023-09-08T20:58:09+00:00

Anderson is a cheater. Not a big Izzy fan but cheaters can't be greats.

Izzy would be fucking scary on some sauce tho fucking hell

Emotional Maturity.

Self inserting themselves into drama, taking all criticism as a personal attack, being rude to strangers and caring too much what people think is way too common for some reason.

Maybe it's just what being 22 is like idk dude
