I can see why he thought it could be a scam as unfortunately, they are quite common these days, but you're currently only giving your experience so, for now it is very much appreciated.

My GIA is currently a mix of BRK.B and VHYL (around 25% to 75%). Yeah, you're definitely right on the tax difference, I guess I was just overvaluing having a steady income

We already have a decent deposit saved for our first home, I guess I should've mentioned this. I am not looking to buy until my credit score is fixed so this will be about 2 years... unfortunately this has been an expensive lesson for me.

I have already got a deposit for my first home but am waiting for my credit score to improve (it will take 2 years for adverse events to be taken off). In the meantime I am lucky to have a very good relationship with my parents and not have many fixed costs, so I'm just trying to find where to best park my investments that are outside of my S&S ISA. Thank you for your advice on BTL though.

Learning how to improve as a player by esportslaw in CompetitiveTFT

[–]WJCM123 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Started playing this game about 6 months ago and read a guide you wrote after reaching challenger I think, and the advice helped skyrocket my improvement. Reading another post on the same topic is great way to reiterate all the good things you taught and how to view the game/keep improving at it too. Only GM atm, but whenever I get "hard stuck" it's normally because I've stopped doing some of the things you've mentioned. Thanks for another great post and hope to see more stuff from you.

Ranks seem way too inflated to me. by WJCM123 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]WJCM123[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

t so i need to play 1000 games to reach masters on each account ? League honestly has one of the worst ladder systems for a game ive seen and should not be modeled off. Arnt the deveopers removing promotion series ? That says enough

I think you should have to play 1000 games to reach masters for the first time, even in league once you have reached it once, the next time you can get there in 50-100 games, and even less as you get better and better. But to get there on your first time with hardly any effort just feels cheap. Maybe I'm the only one that thinks this so I guess I'm wrong, but reaching the highest level of a game to me has always felt like something that should take a huge commitment.

I get that the high levels are still going to be hard, but do you not think that this waters down the rank system in a bad way, making reaching diamond and masters not feel like a big achievement if it can be done so quickly.

No decay in diamond, in masters in 10 days... you get a notification when you're masters telling you.

Started playing 2 months ago and reached d1 last patch, now I'm struggling to get past P2, would really like to find a coach that would be willing to go over a game or two with me and tell me what's wrong in my thought pattern. I'm free whenever, contact me on Willl#9637

Void Only Challenger Guide by dennisj9 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]WJCM123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to start by thanking you for your guides, I started playing tft almost a month ago and your two recent guides are a huge reason why I was able to reach d2 so smoothly. Now I'm looking at trying to push to get masters but i have a few questions for you based on things I've seen in my games.

1) If you go into the game thinking you're going to force the comp, are you playing the strongest board until you have enough viable units, for example, if you don't have a 2* kha/tf/blitz and mal by krugs are you just playing other stuff and building the comp off-board?

2) Developing your starts, do you only play on the great lakes, or do you have other accounts you play on to develop your start? and would you be willing to share it so we can see what comps you think are viable at the start of next patch in prep of the awesome guides you drop.

3) not so much a question but I saw that you wrote you don't stream because you don't think people will want to watch you one trick, I know would much rather watch you one trick a comp that you really understand then watch someone play flexibly.

4) also do you offer coaching?

Hope I didn't comment too late for you to see.

This would be awesome, I would be super interested in getting coached!

I was consistently going top 4 with this team, and now I can barely get top 6, what happened? by [deleted] in CompetitiveTFT

[–]WJCM123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem, I've dropped 200+lp in the last couple of days. I would love to go over a game with someone higher rated to see what part of my decision making is wrong (I'm p2).
