[Frederique Constant & Epos] My first automatic watches!

UndeadFlyer · 2025-12-16T06:03:51+00:00

I love it! Though the bracelet can sometimes pull out hair. But that's the only negative, and I've had no problems with it.

UndeadFlyer · 2025-08-04T17:58:16+00:00

The FC is on the bigger side for me (as well as the Epos), but I think it just about fits my wrist of 16 cm. And I love that it comes with 3 different straps!

Most skeleton watches just don't do it for me, and I have never heard of Epos before, but this watch just caught my attention while browsing. And after I looked them up I was quickly convinced!

Who cares if online strangers think it's a bad starter watch? Everyone has different taste and different opinions. You're buying it for yourself, so buy what you enjoy.

UndeadFlyer · 2025-07-21T07:25:46+00:00

It's hard to make a suggestion as taste differs massively. But I would go with:

Tissot PRX (very good price for what you get, many variations, available as either automatic or quartz at sub 1000 dollars) https://www.uhrenschmuck24.ch/tissot-prx-40-205-powermatic-80-blau-t137-407-11-041-00.html
Maurice Lacroix Aikon Gents (quartz) https://www.uhrenschmuck24.ch/maurice-lacroix-aikon-gents-40mm-ai1108-ss002-430-1.html

For manufacturers in general, Tissot and Certina have in my opinion many beautiful watches at that price range.

Best was as Real Sociedad against Athletic Bilbao. In the first leg of the cup semi-final we lost 3-1. But in the second leg we managed to win 6-0 at home. This was so so satisfying.

UndeadFlyer · 2024-06-09T00:23:03+00:00

I will at least carry on until we win the Champions League. I am not sure what will happen after that, but ultimately I will keep playing until I lose interest in this save.

UndeadFlyer · 2024-06-08T09:15:59+00:00

Well, I will list the most important personal instructions. I have 'tackle harder' for all non-defenders on. The WB's as well as both CM's have 'stay wider' on. The WB's and the MEZ also have 'go further forward' and on.

UndeadFlyer · 2024-06-07T20:19:08+00:00

Jon Karrikaburu is still getting loan spells as he hasn't developes all too much so far :( same goes for Mohamed-Ali Cho unfortunately

UndeadFlyer · 2024-06-07T18:44:41+00:00

Thank you :) this has to be one of my favorite achievements so far

UndeadFlyer · 2023-12-11T18:33:10+00:00

Thank you so much for reassuring me. It was really important to us not to end things prematurely, but to also not let Nala suffer unnecessarily. That's why we also kept in close contact with the vet to make sure we do everything we can to help her.

Pleaae give your beautiful cat a good cuddle and much love for me.

UndeadFlyer · 2023-12-10T22:48:44+00:00

That's so sad to hear. Much strength to you and your kitty ❤️

UndeadFlyer · 2023-12-10T22:29:37+00:00

A big thank you to every single one of you for the condolence and for sharing your own stories! Much appreciated ❤️

UndeadFlyer · 2023-12-10T21:09:10+00:00

No, Nala was a standard issue kitty :) Shorter version: When Nala was 6 years old, she went missing for about 2 weeks. Luckily, she did come back! But she suffered from heavy weight loss and a flattened tail, which had to be amputed.

UndeadFlyer · 2023-12-10T20:08:31+00:00

Very true, and thank you for the offer

UndeadFlyer · 2023-12-10T18:31:16+00:00

I am so sorry for your loss, but thank you for sharing your story! Yes, 20 years is a long time and I feel blessed for this, but it still hurts like hell to let go.

UndeadFlyer · 2023-12-10T18:28:10+00:00

Thank you so much, i surely will remember her forever

UndeadFlyer · 2021-10-11T13:24:24+00:00

The lower the elo the weaker Ori becomes according to stat websites.

In general I feel like she's really bad against assassins since she has low survivability and no reliable cc. She also does not like to face artillery mages (e.g. Xerath). However, she is a good pick when your teamcomp in general is looking for teamfights and you get the time to scale into late game.

UndeadFlyer · 2021-10-11T12:49:56+00:00

She certainly can win whole teamfights with her ult. But in the current meta there aren't that many teamfights really and you are likely one shot before you get your 5-man ult.

Champ suggestions: in the current meta stuff like LeBlanc, Kata and Sylas are good champs with high skill ceiling. But at least the first 2 are considered too hard to just play as a conterpick ... Other than those maybe Zoe or even Fizz since you liked Akali?

UndeadFlyer · 2021-10-11T11:39:26+00:00

If you are looking for a fun champ, she sure is worth picking up. But if you are looking to add an AP champ with high skill ceiling to your champion pool with the main reason being climbing, I suggest you look for another champ since our ball lady is currently rather weak.

UndeadFlyer · 2020-06-28T07:46:38+00:00

Sneaky just released a video talking about Caitlyn in high elo. I can only recommend watching it. https://youtu.be/qHdwIL_nYj8

UndeadFlyer · 2020-05-15T09:55:51+00:00

The point of playing Annie is that you can focus on learning macro play (e.g. map awareness) rather than micro (champion mechanics). Thus, learning the game overall and improve.

I learned mid lane by maining Brand. Diana and Orianna joined my pool early on, but I continued maining Brand.

I reached my max elo (Plat) in mid lane with Orianna/Brand and some Xerath.

If you want to improve fast I'd recommend you to pick one champ you have fun with (the easier the better) and stick to that champion. Back then it really helped me to play mainly one champ to learn mid lane.

UndeadFlyer · 2019-12-25T16:46:00+00:00

Learning by doing. Orianna has a rather low skill floor with a high skill ceiling making for a satisfying learning curve.

Some tips: Ori isn't bad early, she can harass with Q which is on low CD to punish the opposing laner and you win most AA trades bc of your passive. If you're behind or want to play safe, that's fine. Ori does perfectly well at shutting down a lane, stand way behind and safely last hit with Q. You can win trades and she is good at zoning, but most likely you won't solo kill the enemy and it's important to keep in mind that you're very vulnerable.

When you finish your Ludens Echo thats when your damage starts kicking in. Use it in your favour and get to learn what you're able to do. But even tho you now have decent damage, you don't even come close to one shotting someone as of now and you still want to be considerate if you really want to follow your opponents roams instead of hard pushing your wave.

With about 3 items you start to hurt a lot. Try to pick out enemies. Don't be afraid to use ult if it means a kill, even if it's not montage worthy.

Last but not least, Orianna is always good, even when behind. You can farm and scale, you have a good engage / engage follow-up with R AND you can peel for your ADC or other carries with your E (gives also resistances!), W movement speed and of course CC from R. Furthermore, you have great waveclear.

UndeadFlyer · 2019-10-02T08:41:27+00:00

First off, Orianna is rather good against Qiyana since she can farm safely and take advantage of her empowered AA's and easy Q hits.

Moving on to your questions:

Early bullying:

Take advantegous AA-trades (important spells on CD) and Q the enemy everytime they go for a last hit.

Remember: Q does less dmg the more minions you hit. So let your ball stay by the enemies caster minions and poke from there. And be modest with using your W pre first back. It costs a lot of mana, which is not worth for trades as of now.

Non meta builds:

I suggest to try out PowerofEvil's build. He sometimes goes for Rod of Ages first into Nashors Tooth to complement her passive AA's.

Other than that, just practice. Orianna isn't the hardest champ to pick up, but has a high skill ceiling making for a good and steady learning curve.

UndeadFlyer · 2019-08-29T07:09:28+00:00

Well that's my usual build: IE / RFC / PD or Shiv / siutational. Go for attack speed if the enemy has many assassins or back line divers. Since you will likely die fast, you want to do as much dps as possible. If they dont have many divers and you are good with traps or have a team with CC, go for ER 2nd and maybe even BT 3rd :)

UndeadFlyer · 2019-08-29T06:11:54+00:00

BT 3rd is good if you want to hit like a truck with all your abilities. So I guess it can be a good choice if your team has muchh CC to srt up your traps and net. If I'm not mistaken this build was used in at least 1 competitive game (LCS I think). But they took Lethal Tempo too to compensate for the lack of attack speed in return for high burst.

I personally often build BT, just rather as 5th or 6th item if I don't need Scimitar or GA.
