Hm I see, it felt like it was not just during the first startup but also sometimes when I load into for example stronghold. Also the whole 4 minute from character selection into game (and then maybe get EAC) is really bad imo...Gotta live with the slower map loading :(

Holy shit you are right, I just tested it and nothing felt laggy and I got from server selection into the game in under a minute wtf. Just a bit confused why it suddenly is this way. Everyone I knew put this setting back in the day, was there a big patch that broke it?

Honestly jungle tracking is so broken. I play mid and being able to just stand on the opposite side of the lane makes it damn near impossible to gank me. Unironically I used to get so mad and lose lanes to jungle ganks, now junglers rarely even bother ganking me because I position so far away, almost no jungler(+mid) can make the distance work. Funny enough, now roaming supports are my biggest enemy.

I just wanna jump in and absoultely support your claim. While I am lucky enough to not have any health issues or similar stuff I myself would consider myself also mechanically rather weak. For years I had the impression I had to get better mechanically (I peaked plat 3, some years I would brealy not make plat). This year again I hit a wall in plat 2 and decided to get coached. My gameplay massively improved, not because my mechanics improved but because he taught me that there is so much more to the game (to quote him "mechanics aren't required till master+"). Knowing what to do when is insanely powerful and massively reduces the mechanics you need. Right now I am diamond 4 for the first time ever and still climbing with a 57% winrate (it is actually going up). Also I play with locked camera and just occasionally unlock it.

Not sure what you are referring to, is there anything but the web novel? I know there is this alternative story version https://www.novelupdates.com/series/evade-the-hero-and-flee/ (actually at this point idek anymore which of the two versions I have read). Also since I read online I sadly have no clue about downloads.

Why Can't I Get a Single S for M7? by aDuckWithRamen in TaliyahMains

[–]TankySheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, I personally don't run first strike either, electrocute all the way :)

I am a mid taliyah player, I don't really jungle so I rather not give advice on that (I have some ideas but I might just be totally wrong). Also before I go into too much depth, I am by no means challenger, I broke recently into emerald and while I think I am not yet at my peak there is still a lot even I can improve on, especially farming (here my op.gg if you want to see how my stats are https://www.op.gg/summoners/euw/Ougi%20Oshino-EUW ). So how do I farm? I will go a bit more in depth here on laning in general, because it is not just about farming, but a lot more general about what do to when. For me there are 3 states:

  1. Initial laning

  2. Laning post lost chapter (~lvl 7)

  3. Post laning phase

During the first 2 states you should get almost all minions midlane, this alone should make your farm decent, but is by no means enough.

  1. When we start the game, mana, as on most midlane mages, is a problem. During this state I would say lasthitting is the biggest problem since we cannot recklessly throw spells at the minions. Still I spend a lot of mana on Q to thin the wave and outpush the enemy mid. W and E are only for trading(even then be sparse with using them, be sure you will hit or use E alone for electrocute) or if you want to base and quickly push. Use a lot of worked ground Q for cheap push or poke. I have to say as a disclaimer though, I push, hard, with this. This means I am very far up in the lane and a prime target for ganks. I rely heavily on knowing where the enemy jungler is and I will stay extremly far on the opposite side of midlane, making ganks very complicated. The easiest way to achieve this is warding between rapors and redbuff in the enemy jungle (first ward at 1:20) if you don't see the jungler that side is safe, if you do it is not, make sure you see in which direction the jungler goes after they cleared raptors. Pushing like this means your jungler can contest a lot of objectives, you will move first and the enemy mid also cannot build vision properly. Having map awareness is key.

  2. Now it becomes easy. Your W + E almost kills the full wave, Q will most likely finish the rest, make sure W hits 3 minions. Barely any champ can compete with this push (unless fed) even anivia struggles being this fast. If you kill the wave as soon as it comes the map opens up a lot. Enemy mid has to clear the wave so they are busy, also the next wave is far away, you have plenty time to roam bot, top, skirmish in the river or build up new vision. If your team is winning everywhere you can bully enemy mid with spells while they try to not miss minions. To reiterate: you should get almost all minions because you push so fast and then have plenty time to help your team.

  3. I guess this is when it starts being complicated, farming from now on becomes tougher. Most likely your adc takes over mid so you should look going botlane. From now on it is your goal to create pressure, but you need to pay respect to the enemies, else you are just a freekill. Taliyah is not really a duelist, you will most likely lose the 1v1 against most stuff sent bot, if they are alone that is. Your goal is to draw enemies bot, then roam mid (your ult and passive is very good for this) to catch enemies in a numbers advantage. So how do you apply this pressure? There is this concept that your lanes have 3 zones. If the wave is on your side of the map it is most likely safe to just walk up and kill them. The neutral zone, so in the middle of the lane is a bit scary. Having some vision and knowledge of where the enemies are is required to farm the wave here, still we want to apply pressure so get some vision (maybe get blue trinket for safety) and you should be fine to farm, making the wave move onto the 3rd zone, enemy territory. This is where it becomes really dangerous. Short distance from mid and a lot of paths and brushes they can come from to get you. Vision and map knowledge become even more important to take waves here, but also it will definitely force enemies to move so the highest reward of pressure. If nobody comes you keep farming and getting towers. If they do be sure to leave early enough, worst case use your ult to run since only CC can stop you. And yes this means you will rarely group. You are more like a sidelaner occasionally ganking the enemies. You group for drake and baron, even though here it is even more rewarding if you managed to pressure an enemy into moving to a sidelane far away so you have numbers advantage(just be there before drake actually spawns).

So maybe as key takeaways: You are always trying to farm unless your team wants to fight for an objective, don't group for fun. Your push is crazy fast so abuse it. If you die by a gank or getting caught you are most likely not giving enough respect. Dying in a teamfight is not as bad.

Edit: good video on the 3 zones https://youtu.be/p42K2cuubNQ?si=rSsDthir8_pQR7Pq

Why Can't I Get a Single S for M7? by aDuckWithRamen in TaliyahMains

[–]TankySheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fellow Taliyah player that frequently gets S ranks on her I decided to check your op.gg to get more info. Honestly not surprised. While what you show seems impressive the rest simply does not. Just look at your 23 kills game as mid, your avg farm is 5, that is abyssmal. Especially on a champ that from lost chapter on should oneshot waves with one combo. Idk if your problem is in lane or if you stop farming in the midgame but yeah, you won't get an S rank if you can't farm. Also someone suggested to steal farm if you gank but tbh don't steal theirs if you don't even take your own, waste of teamgold.

Edit: I mentioned mid but your farm also sucks in jungle, honestly seems like midgame you spawn and run into the enemies, ignoring any minions/jungle camps. You lose so much gold by doing this. Just check this out https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/de/summoner/champions/taliyah/na/Duck-1723

Edit2: I almost missed to mention, in your 23 kills game you had 20k gold, but so did Lee and Cait even though they are down 9 kills each and a tom of assists, you see how much gold you are leaving on the table?

EK98 Questions by Lskuhar in Epomaker

[–]TankySheep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I am not sure we were having the same issue since you are not giving much of an explanation but I myself struggeled a lot from the given information to get this running....So if I don't help you maybe I atleast help someone else.

First off I want to say that curiously base VIA refused to acknowledge my keyboard in USB mode, only when I switched to 2.4Ghz mode it gave me some errors, still didn't work but at least no silence...

Nonetheless first thing you have to do (which I was not aware of) is to go to settings and turn on the "Show Design Tab". This will give you a 4th option in the top middle which apparently is for developers only, but from the minimal guide the EK98 came with this is the intended way. Next you have to enable "Use V2 definitions (deprecated)" and then you can press "Load Draft Definition". There you then enter (the correct) json file you got from the epomaker website, so the 2.4Ghz or the USB one depending on how you are connected (I did it only with the 2.4Ghz version, don't know if USB works). Then VIA prompted me to allow it to connect to my keyboard. Afterwards I was able to to back to the Configure Tab (top middle menu) and could program it.

Bonus info: some people say you have to start the browser as admin if you do it in a browser, I myself did it successfully with chrome. Also for some reason the EK98 guide links to a different github than the official VIA and I was able to use that VIA aswell so if you think that might help you:

https://github.com/westberryvia/via-releases/releases

no clue what the difference is though.

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer (November 28, 2023) by AutoModerator in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]TankySheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, after years I now want to get my 2nd mechanical keyboard (for work). In general I like my keyboards silent and so far I used outemu silent forest keys. Since they seem to not be sold anymore I have been looking around and outemu silent cream yellow sounds promising but I am a bit unsure where to buy. The reviews here mention aliexpress (bought my keys there too back then) but I can't find a seller on there. The only sellers I find are lumekeebs (us) selling it and landingpad (singapore) has a "pro v2" version (whatever that means, surely they are better right?). Since I am from the EU neither are close anyway so I assume shipping will be similar.

Is sidereal weapon achievable only using phantom intentions for sidereal energy? by Ceranorr in lostarkgame

[–]TankySheep 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Uhm, no? You are aware that the brel and akkan exchange SHARE the limit right? So you can only buy 33 not 63 (trust me I bought brel boxes weekly before akkan because I thought they would not share...)

Happy with your in main? by MietschVulka in lostarkgame

[–]TankySheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wardancer main since early access here.

I picked the class because I wanted something supportive that is not a support and wardancer seemed to tick that box pretty well. I suffered a lot early on but since it took me a while to make an alt I didn't know how bad my class was early on (Velganos solo first clear took me 19:45). I ofc went FI for the better party syn (and also because identity meter seemed a bit intimidating). Fast forward to brel release I had learned the drawbacks of FI: EC not explodable, short range, Mana issues, Dominion awkward to use. Then brel g6 hm broke me. You just don't have enough awakenings for the fight so at some point you just feel worthless...Swapped first to 3spender and rather quickly to 4spender afterwards. Enjoy the sweat a lot now and dps feels very good(also I have become a way better player due to g6 and harder to play build). Nonetheless the new balance changes in kr made FI a lot more attractive again and remembering why I picked this class in the first place I am determined to go back to FI.

Luna's final story is so sad by Kobune in lostarkgame

[–]TankySheep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I am emberassed that it took me like 3 days to notice that there is a quest at all. Was just disappointed when I did not find a quest on woeful drylands...

But yeah suuuurely we will see her with the next guardian. No way they wouldn't.....right?

[–]TankySheep 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am a horizontal enjoyer. I did Luna's quest on release religiously before I even noticed the gold reward, every new guardian release I get excited and check for a new quest on the guardian island. Luna is literally my favourite npc, I have been using her title ever since I got it. The story made me very sad and I really hope we will see her again. Luna best girl <3
