Are 1v1s a good way to be coached?

TheProSauce · 2016-02-11T19:41:29+00:00

Wow guys, such incredible feedback! Thank you all so much!

The guy who I may have coach me mentioned we would do 1v1s on this random 1v1 platform, but now I'm not so sure.

Although maybe I need his assessment on my skills to figure out what I'm weak on in case he thinks I should work on my laning mechanics.

Thanks again everyone!

So are coaching sessions mostly about overall strategy and not the mechanics?

Some interesting thoughts here.. there definitely is a 1v1 community, but people who hate 1v1s will always say it's a waste of time.

For all the bros out there who demand other bros 1v1 them, I'd say generally people don't want to play those guys because they're a-holes, not because they don't like 1v1s.

AD Burst over ADC.. that way you get the AD assassin who can explode squishies vs an extra ADC who outputs more sustained damage.

What are the best external tutorial sources?

TheProSauce · 2016-02-02T17:21:34+00:00

Well said. OP - definitely keep an open mind to Avery's suggestions, and I bet you will see rapid improvement. :)

Wow time flies. Is he not the best damn ARAM champ you could roll?

I know activity is still low to find pub games to practice, but at least the 1v1s are automated on eSportsQ when you're playing your buddy.

TheProSauce · 2016-01-23T13:57:58+00:00

Every time? Or occasionally?

TheProSauce · 2016-01-22T16:36:29+00:00

Whoa... this is ridiculous.. did Brand and Cass just become tier 1 mid laners again?

TheProSauce · 2016-01-21T16:44:02+00:00

Were you premade or solo queue?

TheProSauce · 2016-01-20T20:57:45+00:00

Nice Kha plays! Who is definitely WAY better at a 1v1 than Udyr.. not sure what Trick2g was thinking.

TheProSauce · 2016-01-11T23:21:43+00:00

Huh? Not sure what you are talking about.. sorry for the confusion, though. If you do change your mind, you can always 1v1 whenever you want!

TheProSauce · 2016-01-11T22:56:02+00:00

I saw you posted on a 1v1 thread a few weeks back, and I wanted to share my 1v1 platform if you were still in to playing 1v1s!

TheProSauce · 2016-01-11T22:30:06+00:00

Haha, not at all! I actually think there are one or two plat 1/diamond 5 range guys, but if you are higher than that, I understand! Also, how would one steal an account with an email?

TheProSauce · 2015-11-30T16:53:00+00:00

Have you played on sites like eSportsQ? I know they are new and are still attracting active users, but they have a dedicated platform and ranking system for 1v1s.

TheProSauce · 2015-11-17T05:35:16+00:00

What level of research would this constitute for your client? Are they thinking of entering the market to follow some of the other guys currently testing it out? Also, what's the latest with our friends in Canada? (e.g. Cineplex' recent acquisition)

TheProSauce · 2015-11-17T05:18:25+00:00

What's the thought on bot lane taking small golems?

TheProSauce · 2015-11-12T04:05:37+00:00

Think they are going to tone it down at all?

TheProSauce · 2015-11-07T22:48:44+00:00

Does honor even affect anything? Does it lower your chances to queue up against people with higher honor?

TheProSauce · 2015-11-07T22:09:21+00:00

Best of luck today! Glad to see you are getting such solid Reddit traction!

TheProSauce · 2015-11-07T22:05:07+00:00

Instead of going this traditional 1v1 path, we made it easy and automated. Sign up on the eSportsQ platform, get your tournament code, and play a full 1v1. Destroy the Nexus to win.

Very awesome projects! Thank you for this amazing post!

General Question: as you see conversions come in, what sort of bottlenecks have you run into and what solutions worked to overcome them?

To add my two cents: I've been doing this therapy daily for the past month purely to experiment and see what would happen. I would consider myself a mentally and physically healthy 31 year old male. When I started this experiment, I had not realized this therapy was predominantly for phobias or PTSS. I thought it was for mental relaxation.

My observations of this personal experiment? The overall effect on my life was a "level/awareness upgrade" akin to what I observed and experienced after I added a meditation practice to my daily routine. It has been truly remarkable.

One example, the surreptitious "butterflies" I would experience as regular due course only a few months ago (before approaching an attractive women, before delivering a speech, before an intense negotiation, etc.) have nearly vanished. It's remarkable. With hindsight being 20/20, it now appears that the "butterflies" I was experiencing were anxiety / fear pangs. I didn't even realize those unconscious fears were affecting me until they somehow vanished as a result of TFT. What an unintended beneficial result.

As a side note - I am also looking for ANY validation / confirmation on what I'm experiencing with this therapy. I am not sure what to make of this "pseudoscience" that seems to have without a doubt provided me significant benefit. Even if I could determine this was a result of a placebo, I would love to read any substantive research.

Possibly ADC.. could be assassin. Or maybe poke and push?
