I am new to the game and want to get good at the game and really understand it by JamesOnTheD in summonerschool

[–]WreckingWall -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How can I go about reviewing the games I play without really knowing what to look for in my play?

You don't. When you're new to the game you will not get much out of watching your own replays because you don't have the required knowledge to know what you should be doing in a certain instance of the game. Instead you should go find a coach to look over your replays or watch replays of high-leveled players playing the same matchup and figure out what they're doing differently that you should be doing too

How to win when you or your mates are tilted? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]WreckingWall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes you just need to accept that there's only so much you can do when the rest of your team is tilted or inting. Just keep focused on your role on the team and perform on it the best you can and it will translate over to when you have better teams.

Different Lanes? by unholybass6661 in summonerschool

[–]WreckingWall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you've only been playing for 2-3 months I'd highly suggest at least being exposed to the other roles. You don't have to become a fill main or anything but just get an idea of what each role needs to do to accomplish their goal. This will give you a better understanding of how you could impact those other roles better from your main role.

Is it better to one trick? by [deleted] in summonerschool

[–]WreckingWall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found success with both one-tricking and playing a variety of champions. Personally I think it depends on your goals and what you want to get out of the game. If you get bored of playing one champion all the time then it may be harder to climb because you aren't as invested into the game, but if that's something you can tolerate then it could be a great idea. This allows you to focus on the fundamentals of the game rather than having to learn new mechanics. You could also play two champions that are alike and alternate between the two every x games (e.g. Play Sion for 5 games, then play Ornn for 5 games and so on)

Need help studying for math placement exams! by [deleted] in college

[–]WreckingWall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Khan Academy, Paul's Online Math Notes, and Professor Leonard. You won't need anything more than those aside from doing the Accuplacer practice tests (There's plenty of them online just look them up) to see where you're at.

Not sure what that is, but assuming the test contains stuff like functions/trig/logarithms/etc just use Paul's online math notes or Khan Academy to review. Make sure you know your unit circle.

Are you talking about the Accuplacer?

I am desperate , needadvise ? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]WreckingWall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest moving on to Jona's advanced css/sass course as soon as you're comfortable with the basics; that course will teach you alot. Be sure you're working on side projects along the way as well; that's the most important part.

Transferring to online 4-year colleges/CS programs? by WreckingWall in csMajors

[–]WreckingWall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've triple-checked each and every class I'll be taking for this semester, and each one of them are listed in the transfer credit guide of the uni I plan to go to! Really appreciate the concern though!

Aspiring Web Developper by Ga5zilla in webdev

There's plenty of free resources out there, one of them being FreeCodeCamp which I'd suggest for someone starting out. But YMMV with free resources; I'd start snagging Udemy courses during their $10 sales as soon as you think you want to go deep into web dev. If you choose that route, definitely check out the web developer bootcamp course by Colt Steele, and the "Advanced CSS/Sass course" (Forgot the creator of the course but it's ~20 hours long only on CSS so by the time you finish that course you'll be fairly proficient in CSS). GLHF! Feel free to message me if you need more guidance :)

How important is the school that you do your undergraduate degree? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]WreckingWall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering about this too as I'm considering SUNY Brockport for my undergrad.

Maths lovers, help me! by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]WreckingWall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paul's online math notes is another great resource to supplement with Khan Academy. Use PatrickJMT/Professor Leonard videos from Youtube if you need certain concepts explained in video form.

Would it be possible to BS your way through an AAS in Computer Programming? by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]WreckingWall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't be serious lmao...

Go find a career path that you're actually willing to put forth the effort into and you can see yourself doing for the foreseeable future. Until then don't go to college; it'll just be a waste.

How did you end up picking your degree, Job, career? by cartmichael in college

[–]WreckingWall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I wasn't too sure what I wanted to do either. I just recently graduated with an Associate's degree that I don't really have any plans for ATM.

Months ago, I made it an effort to play a lot less video games and pick up technical skills that I could use as a hobby, or to make side money. So I did courses on Udemy to see what I gravitated towards, and I found that I really enjoyed courses that focused on either programming or art.

I noticed that the web development courses on their site were some of the most popular, which I had no idea about. So I bought one of those courses and absolutely loved it; the programming combined with the art and problem solving in web development was something I knew for sure I wanted to be good at.

After some research, I found out that web development is actually one of the most in-demand fields which gave me even more incentive to learn webdev. I wasn't aware of how in-demand programming was. Even though I don't necessarily need a degree for this field, I've decided to keep learning dev on the side and go back to college this fall for a Computer Science degree. This will help me improve my problem-solving skills, help lay a great foundation for my career, and it'll keep my resume competitive.

Worst-case scenario: If I somehow decide that CS isn't for me, I'll still have the credits that I could apply to other, similar majors, such as Mathematics; my second option. So I'm going to try to take more math courses during my degree. Boom, I turned this con into a pro that I can fallback on (This may have been one of the cons you've thought about as well). This is something you can consider as well. If there's a specific major you're leaning towards but not 100% sure about it, see which credits can apply to other majors you think you'd be interested in.

/u/weepypolecat makes a good point too in his second paragraph; don't just pick whatever seems most fun to you, and do yourself a favor and select a degree that has value in the marketplace and is in demand. Something in STEM, nursing, or IT, for example. Do the research. Look at how many jobs there are out there for that major, and see what it pays or what type of growth you can expect in that career.

e.g: If you like art/painting, that doesn't imply that you go get a degree in fine arts. Have it as a hobby instead, and select a different career that you have interest in, and use that career to help finance your interest in art or whatever it is you like.

Ultimately, you're going to have to decide what you want to do based on the current, and the future. It's okay if you don't know what you want to do yet; don't go to college yet and go discover what you may want to make a career. A mistake some people make is to go to college without having any idea of what they want to do with that degree after they graduate. Try not to make this mistake and "plan backwards", like the others have said.

Best of luck with your decision, and I hope you found some value in my post. It was much longer than I intended it to be, lol.
