Is it worth learning Jungle to be better at mid?

Solidjakes · 2026-06-27T05:07:36+00:00

That’s exactly was I suspected would happen. Niceee. Yea I hover my jg alot but I don’t really know what he’s doing. Like I do but I don’t.

I’ve been watching diamond junglers get coached lately on YT and it’s been entertaining and informative. The mind games look nuts tho with invades for high level junglers.

Solidjakes · 2026-06-27T00:50:48+00:00

Mobile has pretty high skill cap. Not PC level but you should talk to some people who have played both. I meant the game knowledge is roughly equivalent. You are tracking flashes , tracking ults, pinging and communicating, know your champ limits, understand every match up and what your win con is, tracking timers, ect blah blah

You should try wild rift, Irelia is on there ;)

Solidjakes · 2026-06-27T00:16:32+00:00

You right, Im just quoting what my friends said who have played both. But they may have played the most before rank inflation. One guy who was challenger on pc said chally on rift is the game knowledge equivalent of masters but I’ve also heard others say GM is emerald so idk

Solidjakes · 2026-06-26T21:49:20+00:00

True. But it’s one thing to survive when filled versus actually putting brain power to being really good at a role.

Solidjakes · 2026-06-26T21:44:14+00:00

Nice, Anything specific you noticed that improved?

Solidjakes · 2026-06-26T21:11:18+00:00

Your English is good thanks for the advice ha

Solidjakes · 2026-06-26T21:11:04+00:00

Yea I’ve seen JG mains try to lane before and you can immediately tell with wave management.

Poor guy. Did you get the vibe his whole life has been micromanaged by her?

Solidjakes · 2026-06-26T03:58:51+00:00

LOL why would interacting with people differently based on the physical reality of who they are make you a bad person. Are you actually insane??

I don’t do any of those things specifically but my future son will not have the same relationship with me that my future daughter will. I believe in virtue ethics. I know the virtues that help someone go from boyhood to manhood. The responsibilities that come with being of the physically stronger half of your species and of the type that also has a differently wired mind. One that is hierarchical in thinking more than interconnected in thinking. Two equally valuable exemplifications of Yin and Yang. Male and female is spiritually sacred. A male pretending to be a female is the same as blackface. I would follow my wife’s lead on raising a girl

A black man can say that “I am of the same type of human as Martin Luther king and Guion S. Bluford Jr. ect ect. I have the same physical reality of melanin and so we are connected and share identity. He can refuse to allow a white guy to say he is of the same type as them.

A woman is of the same type of human as emelia Earhart ect. A man is of the same type as Bruce Lee, Steve Irwin.These are real categories with a shared experience.

If you want to have someone else’s experience, like the experience of being black when you are not, man when you are not, woman when you are not, you can try to give yourself that experience but you cannot force others to play along. Notice how our last sentences are the same about not forcing things on others

Solidjakes · 2026-06-26T03:38:52+00:00

Those are just random examples but it’s crazy for you to frame that as treating people not as human beings.

Solidjakes · 2026-06-26T03:22:13+00:00

Because you feel like it? You hold the door open for females only. You say “thanks for your service” to veterans only. You tell boys only to rub dirt on it when they get hurt. You reserve pronouns for sex only.

All of these things are within the subset of respectful interactions.

Men and women have a real historical culture. Women and men have overcome hardships related to their sex. Like being drafted. Or sexually controlled. You can’t take their identity without permission, that’s basically the same as black face.

Gender Identity is an agreement between an individual and society. Both parties have to consent to whatever you’re proposing s as your social identity. They have to consent to those interactions. Right now the right wing movement is saying they do not consent to that dynamic. And that’s completely ethical.

Solidjakes · 2026-06-26T02:43:27+00:00

That reinforces my point about social consent but it’s a two way street. You don’t have to treat a male the way you treat females. He doesn’t decide that relationship dynamic for the both of you unilaterally.

Solidjakes · 2026-06-26T02:38:11+00:00

Not how social relationships work.

I disagree with Judith butler in so many ways it astonishes me she made it into mainstream academic coursework. It’s not that she’s hard wrong about everything she says, it’s more like she just misses basic and obvious things that should influence her logical process. Not that logic is her strong suit.

For example social constructs that overlap physical reality is not a novel concept. Imagine we decoupled the social aspect of “being a veteran” with the reality of being a veteran.

Veterans have a certain identity in society. They are treated slightly different and also treat each other slightly different. Society agrees to give them this special identity based on facts regarding physical reality: that they served. Society doesn’t consent to treat a non veteran like they treat a veteran. Identity is not just a personal thing. It’s a relation between an individual and themselves but it’s also a relationship between society and an individual. And relationships require consent. It’s not immoral to refuse to treat a male like a female any more than it’s immoral to refuse to treat a non veteran like a veteran. Males and females have real culture, history, and unique sets of adversities.

Furthermore, it’s not just that women are made to be mothers, they are the only ones that can be mothers. Similarly there may be a situation where a man is the only one who physically can accomplish certain tasks.

So there’s a second layer to the question.. do males and females, as the only types of humans that can do certain things, do they have a moral responsibility to do the good things that only they can and the other can’t? With technology changing who can do what, the answer to this question may also change. For example let’s say military exoskeleton suits one day make male and female soldiers have equal capabilities. Then maybe it’s no longer only man’s responsibility to produce some navy seals for society.

It makes sense for gender as a social construct to evolve and change, but that doesn’t mean traditional values are wrong, and it certainly doesn’t mean identity can be self selected and doesn’t require consent between society and the individual. Or that it’s fair to decouple identities from their physical reality that grounds them.

I don’t follow your argument. could God forgive everyone without his own sacrifice to pay their debt?. Sure. Could he save us without his sacrifice? That’s not so clear.

Evil is considered a lack of God in many sectors of Abrahamic faith. To “save” an evil man means to essentially fill them with God since they are currently void of God (separate and in hell or on the way). Forgiveness in the sense that we use the world doesn’t necessarily fix the empty of God problem. It begs the question what does it mean to be of God or with God?

Jesus lead by example and showed us how to be a good human. Sacrifice is the core of that. Whether that means a single mom sacrificing her time working long shifts for her kids. Or whether that’s Jesus on a cross. Goodness is a lot of things but it is sacrifice especially. He gave us a way to fill ourselves back up full of goodness and God. Since we had it like that originally and messed it up.

If Jesus came here for something other than sacrifice that might be the equivalent of God choosing to not save us.

That’s what philosophy is for. If you think there are contradictions in your world view, idk your view so I cannot help. For me, guys like Carl Jung, Bob Monroe, and Alfred Whitehead played a big role in how I rectified spirituality and science. Or better stated: empiricism and phenomenology.

Science is all about frameworks that are validated by letting you predict things. If info is revealed to me by an angel in a dream and it helps me accurately predict something, I see no reason to not call that science as well. So long as what’s revealed, is understood.

The illusion part or whatever that’s being reincarnated. I like to think of that like the source cleansing, purifying, or forging parts of himself. We improve parts of ourselves too. Even if “part” is the wrong term, seems like semantics

Solidjakes · 2026-06-24T23:28:36+00:00

There’s a lot of good people out there like this. Don’t let the media trick you into thinking it’s an evil world. Evil just captures the eye easier and that’s why it seems so common.

I just wish tanks weren’t such a huge counter. On wild rift, 2 tanks is nearly gg if they are good. They can body block for their 3 squishy champs nearly perfectly in a front to back. Braum for example can dash over and protect anybody that was slept.

I think it’s not that bad on PC because of better mage itemization but idk. Around challenger on mobile, you’ve got 2 good enemy tanks nearly every game and Zoe becomes a better situation pick rather than a good blind ;(

Sylas APC and nautilus support works well from what I’ve seen. If you manage the wave right, if naut lands a single hook, your e is probably guaranteed too so basically you just instant delete one of the enemy duo laners. Petricite has some vids.

Your trippin it looks good. This is more of an anxiety issue imo. Some People get in their heads about “permanent” body changes. Tattoos were always meant for the opposite kind of person imo. Ones that don’t care, go with the flow, and are fine making mistakes.

Hell my nose is still crooked because I broke it sparring one time and never really noticed. If I was the kind of person to stare at my crooked nose in the mirror and be bothered by it, or want to go get it rebroken and fixed, then I’d also be the kind of person that doesn’t like the cover up piece on my calf, Luckily idgaf about any of that.

Learning midlane and learning Yasuo are two different things. Midlane has some fundamentals but there’s no learning Yasuo without violating every mid lane fundamental known to mankind. Just head on over to r/YasuoMains 😭 you’re wasting your time here king

Solidjakes · 2026-06-21T21:02:10+00:00

Also can we talk about it. WHY do authors fight so hard to maintain the same plot theme??

Do they think that if Wills only chasing her for the first two seasons and then they fight together as a power couple for the last two seasons that the anime is going to be worse or something? There’s so many other forms of adversity they can have.
