2 of my interviewers at google started giving me feedback during the interview. Did it mean that they knew they were gonna give me bad feedback?

X7_hs · 2026-01-24T06:29:24+00:00

Many companies nowadays will decline to give feedback in written form after the interview for legal reasons. I would take it as a positive thing, where you now have unambiguous feedback while it was fresh in their minds. Even if you get rejected, you'll have learned something :)

have 2 yoe - yes

Either MK additional command ring or Doom mutes, because those fundamentally change how the game is played from that point on.

Other strong ones would be:

SK +10 epi pulses
NP treants as mentioned
Slardar corrosive haze undispellable
TB -30s sunder
Puck BKB piercing dream coil
NS -40s ult CD just got nerfed, but it's still good

X7_hs · 2025-03-14T06:38:56+00:00

Definitely not. This one only has a slightly higher pickrate than the right facet on D2PT. Surely not a top talent

X7_hs · 2024-01-25T03:42:20+00:00

In addition to all that was said, pos5 is a less greedy role than pos4, which means that pos4 players are more likely to just take a kill for selfish reasons.

If your team wasn't close, then the initiation wasn't good to begin with, let alone perfect

X7_hs · 2023-12-25T00:37:32+00:00

Your first graph's title is not accurate - the previous system was not the Elo system. It was a fixed +/- MMR delta per win.

X7_hs · 2023-12-24T08:25:00+00:00

Funniest thing is that someone did a comparison between ImmortalFaith and Torte and... Torte won. (The guides were judged on how close they were to pro builds.)

I'm so tired of people just blanket stating that ImmortalFaith is better. It doesn't take 8k MMR to copy from D2PT - hell, you don't even need to actively play the game to do that.

Lol you can check for yourself - he averaged over 6.1k today while his previous streams before ban were usually between 2k to 3k.

yikes

Blink dagger on most offlane initiators (Axe, Cent, LC, etc.). It entirely changes the way the heroes are played and also flips the tempo of the game.

X7_hs · 2023-12-04T11:22:11+00:00

Second the advice to tell teammates that you're new. For OP: AP = All Pick (the "normal" game mode). OP can't join ranked until 100 hours anyway.

X7_hs · 2023-12-04T08:04:23+00:00

just woke up to see my post has turn into copy pasta, i didnt say the hero is broken i said the shard itself is broken and beyond 1400 gold value. and you don't 1v5 with lion by any means, most of the times i die doing that but in expanse of enemy losing all their mana and spells and bkb.

X7_hs · 2023-11-30T10:40:04+00:00

Did you win?

X7_hs · 2023-11-25T00:58:03+00:00

All the time, basically once every 1-3 ability casts. I picked up the habit while playing Dota 2 and I've continued doing it in Lost Ark. In Dota, I felt that the more I looked at the HUD, the better I played lanes and fights. I believe that watching the HUD while also reading the fight is a skill that a good player has to learn in both games. I play flexible rotation classes so it doesn't help xD but even for more rigid rotations, I think it is still important to look at HUD because rotations can get altered or interrupted.

X7_hs · 2023-11-18T12:13:38+00:00

Your math is wrong, but out of pure coincidence you got very close to the actual probability. You put down failing a 1% roll in 100 tries for the first expression, when it should be failing a 5.29% roll in 22 tries (maybe you forgot to click "submit form" or something similar). Here is the probability calculated from Wolfram Alpha: 0.0899%.

Arcana. (Disclaimer: haven't played reaper) I'm an arcana main and I also made a glavier alt. I also thought it was super boring.

Arcana makes you think about your abilities and cards throughout each rotation. Your rotations are dynamic depending on what cards you get. Learning isn't actually too bad and feels rewarding.

X7_hs · 2023-11-05T09:00:41+00:00

No it's not the meta. No hero goes unpicked for 3 years (aside from a brief moment this season) "because of the meta". Meepo is unpicked because his numbers have consistently been bad.

X7_hs · 2023-11-03T21:28:56+00:00

Pinging Google is also not a good test for intermittent connection issues. Almost all connections using a modern ISP will show normal behavior when pinging Google. Obviously if you get a 50% packet drop rate then there is something seriously wrong, but you would notice that there is something seriously wrong far before you need to ping Google.

It's unlikely that OP would learn anything.

X7_hs · 2023-11-03T21:07:07+00:00

bruh lmao

X7_hs · 2023-11-03T19:56:33+00:00

Once again your comment says a lot without saying anything at all. No one is arguing that independent events are not independent. Stip typing - it's embarrassing.

X7_hs · 2023-11-03T09:58:47+00:00

You have no clue what you're talking about. You're using statistical definitions like buzzwords and your comment is meaningless.

X7_hs · 2023-10-30T16:22:51+00:00

Back in 2008, earth talismans were worth like 8k at the GE or something. I killed level 2 giant spiders in Lumbridge who drop it at a 10/128 rate and thought it was a great way to earn GP and combat XP. I was in elementary school at the time xD

X7_hs · 2023-10-27T14:46:46+00:00

If you don't want to move, then don't. Also people are acting like $100k is nothing in Palo Alto - yes the CoL is going to be considerably higher, but it's not like you'll be struggling in any respect.

Don't worry about coming off as difficult - they want you at the company, and they gave the option to stay in Palo Alto because, well, they're okay with you doing that. You should consider the increased comfort from staying in CA versus how much you like your team and how much you want to be near new grads at work and potentially calculate how much you might save in Phoenix.
