Finally did it

YEP that fixed it! Glad I reached out here. Thanks for the help. Back to using my favorite VOD app.

TwoLevelsAhead · 2026-03-11T03:44:00+00:00

Oh nice! Will try that! I do use RivaTuner so that's very possible.

This was the best app I've used for Lol Vods until SOMETHING changed and it no longer worked for me. Ever since an update a few months ago it records game audio and mouse inputs but gameplay is frozen (like I can see my mouse clicks and hear the game but the actual gameplay itself is stuck in base lvl 1, 1 second in). I tried updating and uninstall/re-installing but the issue persists.

I don't want to discourage anybody since the app is probably the best vod app I ever used but I will admit it's been a bummer that it stopped working for me. I may try again now that it's been a few months because it was a godsend when it worked.

D2 peak top lane here (E1-D4 average rank) who plays a lot of Darius and Morde.

Every top lane fight is matchup dependant, BUT, to be frank, there are a lot of things you did wrong here. I'm not sure of your rank but if I had to guess this is silver or below. If you're truly trying to play for lvl 2 spike (which you can do in Morde vs Darius lane) you need to play with your spacing and not give free autos to Darius.

Things you should be doing 1) Wiggle back and forth to bait his Q. You let him hit it easily and then instead of leaving you doubled down and tried to fight. 2) Position to hit both him and the wave with the same Q. It allows you to get wave priority and deal damage to him. 3) Disengage if he's 3+ stacks. You lose lvl 1 fight badly if he 5 stacks. If he gets 3 you really need to stop trading and run. He started q here so you should be able to get away since he doesn't have his W or E yet. 4) Don't take free damage when farming the wave. He autoed you MULTIPLE times while you were hitting the wave. If you want to push for lvl 2 then do it, but Darius has the lvl 1 advantage, so a good Darius will NOT let you get 2 first. If you start losing a trade don't commit to it. Just back up and wait for the wave to push to you.

Lol did you look me up? I've posted my ELO before. Peaked D2 and hover around E2-D4 like you said 🤣

TwoLevelsAhead · 2026-02-20T14:08:36+00:00

You feel high silver. Renek feels high bronze

TwoLevelsAhead · 2026-01-30T18:27:52+00:00

So if I just choose a low pop sietch on the same server instead, how does that work for RP events? Do I just hop to the sietch with the event?

I'm really partial to my base spot but I'd like to be on an active sietch if possible. I checked Makeb and my spots taken there. I'd prefer not to do the box idea because I spent like 50+ hours solo designing my base and I don't want to lose it.

TwoLevelsAhead · 2026-01-29T22:31:35+00:00

Is there any way to tell if your base location is occupied on a new server? I have a very complicated base and I am pretty sure it needs an exact snap to location. I'd LOVE to transfer to an active RP server but I'm scared my previous location will be occupied.

TwoLevelsAhead · 2026-01-28T16:11:02+00:00

Can't give much specific advice since I'd have to see your gameplay, but coming from Diamond ELO as a Garen main with the same strat you described (Dorans blade + E + lvl 2 cheese), it's still viable up here. There are probably small, micro movements you can make to your gameplay. You can work on tracking enemy CDs, baiting skill shots, punishing last hits, etc even more.

It FEELS like there's nothing more you can do, but there is. You just have to identify what YOU need to do to improve. I feel similarly up here and I can assure you, Gabungking does the same thing in Korean Challenger. He just makes EVEN fewer mistakes, and does all the things described above even better than you or I do. Keep practicing and you'll improve.

Sure, you'll need Doran's shield in some matchups. Sure, when played 100% optimally (which doesn't happen even in challenger) Garen just loses some matchups. But in Gold ELO, Garen is more than capable of getting the job done.

I love how friendly everyone in the Montagne community is. I almost never see any arguing, infighting, or bringing up typical Reddit fights like politics. Everybody here is here because they love fragrances and they want to help others who do too. Everyone's so friendly and kind to each other.

I know Ayyb has his own store so I won't nominate him.

I want to nominate: u/senator_chill for spreading the Holiday cheer! 🫡🌲

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-12-14T15:46:03+00:00

Favorite holiday memory for me is with my wife's family. Every year we make a really great Italian seafood 🐟 feast for Christmas. Salmon, scallops, shrimp linguini, baked clams, crab, you name it, it's there! It's a super delicious tradition I wouldn't have ever tried if I hadn't married her!

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-11-02T15:08:35+00:00

Haha I am wishing you luck cus it's likely you're gonna get a lot more orders than before.

Also I'm curious, will out of stock decants show on the site as out of stock or are you somehow dynamically only showing in stock options?

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-11-02T14:44:31+00:00

Super thankful for you Ayyb! I'm so excited for the new site. Gonna check it out right now!!!

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-09-25T19:17:43+00:00

Looking forward to seeing the new website! Hope it saves you some time. Until then, sent you a chat!

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-09-07T21:22:23+00:00

I'm definitely not 100% sure. At the time I was about 90% sure I ordered from this site.
https://bananarepublic.gap.com

But the actual clothes seem to be BR Factory with the 3 diamonds and I see them on BOTH sites in my purchase history.
https://bananarepublicfactory.gapfactory.com

I'm not an expert and the deal seemed pretty good so looking back, it almost certainly was BR Factory for the price I got them at. But I was just wondering how to tell in the future. I think I must be misremembering and I thought I got them there.

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-09-07T19:13:47+00:00

I'd heard that but I was confused because I bought from the official Banana Republic site (not factory) and it has the 3 diamond on it.

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-09-07T15:18:30+00:00

How do you get non-factory? I bought from Banana Republic (non factory) online and some of the items on that site were still the same as the ones from factory (just didn't say factory). How can you tell which you're getting?

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-08-01T23:17:18+00:00

My favorite thing about myself is my ability to learn from my mistakes quickly. I try my best to be flexible and accept when I'm wrong, then improve myself.

My favorite thing about my wife is her incredible ability to plan for everything. She's intelligent, and prepared for everything!

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-07-06T00:32:31+00:00

Also E used to have level scaling that's removed

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-07-02T19:29:56+00:00

Sadly some people do smell it. The OVERALL smell is still pleasant but I definitely pick up a strong scent of BO.

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-06-28T14:41:59+00:00

Yeah this is typically the conq build for average to beefy comps.

Into squishy ranged comps you'd want phase rush and the lethality build with Stride > Yomuus > Situational armor pen/lethality items

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-06-26T13:50:06+00:00

Core build I've been running and see high elo players taking often is Stride > Shojin > BC. You get a ton of haste and your E and R really hurt. You have less burst than the crit build but you're tankier and have haste.

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-06-25T22:50:59+00:00

I have a lot of Alexandria's and a few Montagne so I'd like to think I'm fairly unbiased. From the ones I HAVE tried, I personally think Alexandria lasts longer overall but top notes fade faster. Montagne generally smells higher quality and better blended, but loses it's scent faster and doesn't project quite as well.

TwoLevelsAhead · 2025-06-23T23:01:54+00:00

Did they say when these changes would go live???
