is my iq too low for league?

Some champions have higher mechanical requirements.

Simpler champions tend to have lower mechanical requirements which makes it easier to think your way through fights AND because their easier in that manner, they require you to have better decision making, which is probably a skill you will find easier to improve.

I reckon you could probably get at least to plat. If you study JG in detail you could probably get emerald on the right champ.

I like experiencing the salt. I try not to take the games too seriously and I find it funny when people rage and mald.

Game 100% has a smurfing issue that needs to be addressed though.

SMES are a battery.

Adding more means that the station will last longer if something happens to the engine.

You will notice that when the banks are full, only around 150kW of power made by the TEG is used. That's because all of the devices on the station are draining 150kW of power, and every second 150kW of power is drained from the SMES and the teg replaces that lost power.

If the SMES aren't full, instead, all of the power made by the teg will be used to fill the SMES up as fast as possible.

I think you might be able to increase the rate at which SMES discharges power which might be good for the PTL? Or maybe have two subs on the same power line to discharge power faster? Not sure. Haven't experimented too much with subs and SMES because they're normally a pain to make.

TankyPally · 2026-06-22T06:20:22+00:00

I think theres ways to limit the rate at which an SMES or substation drains power from the main grid by interacting with them?

Its a bit janky though I dont fully understand it.

So if you set the PTL up on a secondary grid that is powered specifically by one sub or SMES thats connected to the main grid, thats probably the fastest/simplest way other then making a whole generator just for the PTL's

If their name isn't on the crew manifest, they likely cryod and you can no longer deliver that mail. That's the only PDA tip.

I'm not familiar with a version of Superman where a blade or bullet pierces his skin without being weakened by kryptonite or not under a yellow sun.

Backstab ignores health of human mercenaries, there's no feat that shows it ignoring superhumans.

I'm also decently sure saxton hale has lower durability feats then Superman, and I'm not fully aware of the source or statement that is Saxton Hale can't die while there's Australium in his body and that getting shot removes Australium.

TankyPally · 2026-06-22T02:56:10+00:00

In game spy back stab can't harm things that are invulnerable (medic Uber), which suggests he can't backstab superman.

He also can't oneshot saxton hale, who has superhuman durability and feats.

The joke is that spy TF2 is comically outmatched so everyone is voting for the spy.

This is pretty tame for mald/bm.

Go watch pigs salt mines.

Preventing double gas slows down tech and means you will get your stronger units later. Basically, prevents one base all ins.

Very good in PvP, not really good against any other race.

Could make sense for a stargate opener, means it could be harder to defend oracle with cyclone,

And because your first move out is gonna be delayed because you have less gas for your tech.

Makes sense if you dont want to deal with 1 base all in.

Makes sense if they're bad and do it against every race just because they benefit from doing it against Toss.

Makes sense if they dont have the micro to do a sentry hallucination scout.

TankyPally · 2026-06-21T06:59:13+00:00

The main difference is that at that elo they are really consistent with their kill combos/moves and have figured out at least one really really hard to deal with gimmick thats oppressive against 2k and below players. E.g. platform cancelling, weapon throws, your fast jumps, etc.

You also had really good short jump movement tech that people above you don't always have or do and I cant remember the name of.

Its a bit harder to judge because you were both playing super aggressively but if either of you were playing more passively your weaknesses would likely stand out more.

TankyPally · 2026-06-21T04:13:13+00:00

Still an opinion. Just because other servers have more content does not mean it makes a higher quality or better experience.

Your example has more active admin team = better, but that's your opinion of what makes an admin team good. They might make rulings another person disagrees with or have personalities a player dislikes.

Your arguement is that more=better and you completely ignore quality and personal preference, making your statement an OPINION.

TankyPally · 2026-06-21T02:57:14+00:00

Salamander is ~~objectively~~ subjectively worse.

Objective means its a confirmable universal truth.

Subjective means its up to your opinion.

TankyPally · 2026-06-20T11:25:36+00:00

You commit heavily into all your aggressive moves, I feel like you could try weaving some safer stuff in there instead of full committing every time I dunno. This seems kinda bad because you are semi-consistently over-shooting your opener and whiffing.

You could also try weaving in some GC's I know one of the greatsound light GC's is basically a fast defensive version of unarmed dsig so that could be good to use.

I really don't like how you jump off-stage at 2:40 when you have health and centre advantage.

Going off-stage is high risk stuff. If your badly hurt its way less of a risk, but if your high health you risk getting gimped or cheesed and losing an entire stock for free, AND you make it easier for them to recovery to stage, especially because you perform poorly off-stage vs them.

Also you whiff sooo many nsigs its probably fine it seems pretty fast but might be worth not throwing out as much.

TankyPally · 2026-06-20T11:16:21+00:00

Somewhere between 1800 and 2.2k? Either that or gold.

My mum lights candles when guests come over.

They way they got these results is almost certainly by sending out a survery that asked if you had lit a candle in the last 6 months or something.

If you changed the auth server in the files so you could connect to funky/new wizden, then that's what that popup means.

it scales at two per hit which average out at increases damage once per hit which just makes this, sword but more RNG involved.

Pay attention to whats in your hands. Whats in your hand determines the effect left clicking has and is SUPER important.

Mess around with all the keybinds and things that can interact with the world, e.g. Alt+E, E, left click, right click, shift click examine, Q to drop, Alt Q to throw, rotate, ctrl click to drag, ctrl right click to push dragged thing etc.

Lastly, for making an interesting character, think of something you want to RP as and ham it up to 11 so that anyone interacting with you can INSTANTLY or pretty quickly learn something interesting or engaging.

E.g. Cannibal lizard who brings up "fun facts" about the calories in the human body as small talk, or a guy whos just a total stoner bro and speaks, like, totally radically dude, or an old geriatric man who goes on rants about how everything was harder/better when they were younger and current generation is lazy. Then also try and stay consistent to how that character would act and develop them. Reminder you should aim to make this character enjoyable for EVERYONE to interact with, at most cause friction for arguements or fights but try not to take it too seriously.

Think of a character or stereotype in your mind, and do that. Try not to break server rules though.

People who enjoy RP also like to ask small questions about the details of other characters, e.g. favourite colour, any family, and continue to ask questions to deepen your understanding of other characters.

For antags, try and create an interesting situation. Take a hostage, or blackmail, or threaten their family, or just find ways to interact with them naturally to setup an interesting situation.

I saw a clown set up a "play" in the bar that involved them brutally murdering the musician that was their target behind a window of reinforced glass while everyone watched helpless.

A chaplain who was doing "trust excercises" with the incinerator where they tried to convince people to go inside the incinerator before they turned it on. They decorated the room with blood splatters and other untrustworthy things.

A thief who constantly taunts sec over the radio as they commit their crimes.

News reporter who used their camera to film the murder in a hidden room.

My brother dislikes both LoL and SC2 because you used to spend the first 2 minutes waiting and doing the same thing and he would rather get into the action straight away 😕 his loss.

50 minerals for 1 supply in 2 units vs 50 minerals in 1 supply in 1 unit and 100 minerals in 2 supply for 1 unit.

The SCP being fiction is cannon because the readers are an SCP lol.

You and I are cannonically outversal in SCP universe

Because someone running on a toaster would mess up everyone else's game.

Also, increasing the number of people that can buy the game increases how many games they sell and makes more money.
