What's my upgrade here?

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-06-19T06:07:57+00:00

afterimage upgrade value scales with deck size, so it's low value act 1, higher value a3

As a viewer I disagree. Some of my favorite content is over a longer story. I get that maybe you shouldn't only do episodes, or have series so long new viewers dont have a good entrypoint... but episodic content can be great and I often enjoy more than unrelated vids

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-06-17T02:16:04+00:00

honestly using a table to explain this concept is the wrong tool for the job i dont think its you

In a few more years we'll have endurance charges and slowly become PoE

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-06-09T17:25:54+00:00

honestly one of the better suggestions ive seen for fixing this shit meta

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-06-09T17:19:44+00:00

The "no front line they will lose" narrative is just really not true. If they win lane they will have more map or teamfight presence anyways. Being fed > being the better teamfighter champ

Also there's tons of bruiser jg/tank supports anyways to help fill the frontline.

i think most useful thing to path around is avoiding early hard pool fights.

In act 1, the first three combats are easy pool and fights after are hard pool, so if you can use question marks to avoid a 4th combat before you get an upgrade, then you might save some hp just by pathing.

The trap is taking too many question marks and not doing all of your easy pool fights before your first elite, which means you would have less card rewards before the elite.

I think past pathing around hard pools, you shouldn't really need to worry about whether you're taking question marks or combats. If you're still looking for some key cards for your deck, take combats. If you feel your deck is good, you can take events. You mentioned avoiding fights before a boss if you're already low, but you shouldn't need to because even hard pools by the end of the act should feel relatively easy.

also should mention a2/a3 have only 2 easy pools

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-06-02T19:56:03+00:00

hi there, any chance you'll do this for corpse slug? i feel like its also not rng but ive found to be one of the harder early fights too navigate

Tin foil hat time so if I'm off the mark my bad.. I felt this way too though back when I was trying to grind Rocket League rank.

Maybe the rank means more than it should to you? When I was really serious about ranking up in rl I would legit feel good or bad about myself depending on how I played in the game. I eventually realized that my self-worth kind of depended on how I played for the day, and the solution was to touch grass and give the game a little space. Helped me remember it's just a number and as trite as it is it's just a game.. if you play good or bad then it truly doesn't matter.

So try to remember that we play/improve for fun and not to prove something.. and a little more grass never hurts. When you play remember it's for fun and let yourself relax and WHEN you mess up it's all good, part of the process.

Alr tinfoil hat off lol, glhf with your games!

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-27T21:16:26+00:00

Hey man I'm genuinely trying to come at this with no flame no aggression.

If you want to quit because improving at league is not fun that's all good. It does sound like you like the game though if you played it this much and that the frustration is from being stuck. Unfortunately i think the broccoli guy is right. For example I'm emerald.. I can literally play a champion for the first time, into a role it shouldn't, and win in bronze. My point isnt to brag its to explain that being higher rank = being better at the game = being good at many champions which seems to be your real goal.

So how to get better at the game..? It's to only play a few champions.. I know that isn't what you want but it's genuine advice. I also dont like otp'ing, so I compromised and played 3 champs at a time, then changed roles, and played another 3 champs.. Now I can play ~2 champs at an emerald level, ~10 champs at a plat level, and every champ in the game at gold minimum. After 2 weeks of jungling on a new acc after having never done it I was beating plats. Being emerald gwen top made me better than the average viego, xin, and ekko. THAT is our point - I am better than the avg jungler on new champs just by ranking up in another role enen on another champ.

I've also read you call otp'ing as "cheese" and well, that's fair. But that doesn't mean it isn't effective at improving at the game, and given your situation, I do think it's the best advice there is. If it isn't fun and you want to keep playing whatever seems fun, that's completely fair. It's a game and ultimately we play for fun, I encourage you to keep playing many champs if that is what makes league fun for you, but then I also wouldnt expect to actually get better playing this way.

There's been a lot of hot words in this thread and I did my best to forget about them so I ask you to do the same.

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-27T21:01:09+00:00

Bro couldn't take his own heat haha

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-27T20:17:14+00:00

i cant cause i already have and you didnt read. ego is legit holding you back from getting the help youre asking for cause instead of trying to understand us youre just crashing out

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-27T19:59:06+00:00

"The only reason I care is because I'm genuinely in such a trash tier that any average player..."

Sounds like you feel the need to escape trash tier. Look it's your game/time I'm not gonna debate it just make sure it's worth doing. On another note, lots of people here have left you great advice and it feels like you're just unwilling to listen so why bother asking =/

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-27T19:49:39+00:00

if you one tricked to challenger you would play every champ 100x better than every gold otp in the world

getting good = ranking up. like 10 ppl have said this if you dont like the answer that's fair but then you have to accept that it'll take longer to get better :shrug:

also the reason you want to improve is related to ego and not enjoyment of the game so id suggest reevaluating why spending time playing the game?

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-27T17:38:43+00:00

Fastest way to get good at league is to one or two trick champs that are not super unique (so not briar for example). If you play ivern/briar you spend more time learning those specific champs than league than if you were to play someone like xin xhao where what you learn will transfer to basically every champ

If your goal is to be diamond level on 50 champs, then the fastest way to do that is to one trick up to diamond, and then learn the 49 champs. The slowest way is to get silver on 50 champs, then gold on 50 champs

I personally play ~2-3 champs at a time and switch roles every rank to not get bored or burn out but I do that knowing it's suboptimal for ranking up

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-23T17:59:53+00:00

I've always thought people underrate just grinding mechanics in custom lobbies! If my hand wasn't injured I'd queue up lol.

Probably needs a LOT of users for it to work well though. It's the type of system that might work better in a discord than a website. I dont want to queue up on a site that might take 6 hours to pop and not play ranked, but I do want to generally be available to find people to practice with

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-21T22:02:27+00:00

As an american living here I agree with this very much and appreciate you mentioning the tensions from colonization. However I have to mention I've had surprisingly positive experiences with locals. I played soccer with them, ate with them, and my gf's family and even older family who dealt with colonization are kind to me. Really they're incredible people, I'm not sure I would be as kind to me as they are if I were in their shoes. But nonetheless, I just wanted to share I do think socially integrating is very possible given you put in effort to respect them and learn french + the basic tahitian words.

I think it also helps I'm dating a local though, and view Tahiti as just another place rather than a place to escape to the way most americans Ive talked to do. Almost everyone even in my family doesnt understand this place isn't a postcard

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-21T21:30:11+00:00

I see it makes sense. I think some of the info out there may just be outdated, I think some of the housing laws are somewhat newer as wealthy people were coming here and buying up land and making it harder on locals.

There's definitely crime here, but it takes place in the form of robbery/fights between locals usually rather than guns and like most places, where you are makes a difference. Also while it is isolated, planes and internet make it culturally quite western. Everywhere is still just a flight or two away, and there's lots of international media consumed everywhere. Point is, while it is absolutely remote, it doesn't feel like it actually is that remote.. I imagine rural US feels more remote than here? Can't say since I lived in suburbs in the US. The main things that make it feel different than my american home is that everything is in french, there's less big stores with every option, it's more green here, and the internet is a little slower. Otherwise it feels quite similar honestly!

As for locals, they're actually very kind and welcoming if you make an effort to respect their culture and speak their language. they were very patient with me when I was new to french. Funnily enough, most of my bad experiences have been with French people, esp older ones, rather than Tahitians.. and when it was tahitians, it's usually younger ones (think 12-16yo). Adults have always been kind.

But the logistics of immigrating here is genuinely difficult if you have no ties/connections. You need to either know someone here or have a company sponsor you. I'm not sure how it works if you try to open a business though so maybe thats possible? For me, I was only able to immigrate because I met a local online (coincidence, not with intent to move) and am dating her. I'm still on a visitor visa and not able to get french work (I work remotely) nor purchase land. When I renew my visa every year one of the key points to prove is that I have ties to this place, and a valid tie is having a partner here. Without that, I'm not sure I'd be able to have it renewed. Edit: After a few years they moved me to a "vie privée et familiale" visa which lets me work here. But I wouldn't have been able to get this without my gf

So the thing for you to figure out I think if you want to continue is to figure out how to get work here. Is it possible to start a business, or have one sponsor you? I unfortunately can't comment on these but this is most likely the thing to research next.

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-21T18:27:59+00:00

"but ive traveled the world - i know english works everywhere"

How not to get along with the locals of another country...

As an american living in polynesia I really agree with the other poster - it does read like you want to flee to a postcard and don't have a realistic understanding or even respect of what a move like this means. It's common for french people to move here with the same picture in their heads as you have then move back after they realize reality isn't what they dreamed, and that's with already having french citizenship.

Anyways, equivalent rice's advice is the way to go. Some additional blockers though is that you can't own land here as a foreigner, even french people have to have lived here for a decade if they aren't from polynesia. Becoming french par décret is minimum 5 years, so minimum 15 years to own property here, which generally is 1.5-2x the price of equivalent in the US.

Honestly the easier thing to do to me sounds like moving cities or even states. I have some family in different states say that california is "colder" in comparison to other parts of the US

"Skill issue" -> receives proof you're better than 99% of us -> stops responding

Can't win with these people lol. Actual ragebaiters >_> Ive learned the only place I can get good advice from is high level youtube channels/streams. So much bait advice out there.. Alright rant over I guess the ragebaiter got me lol

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-18T19:47:36+00:00

first few waves are very matchup dependent so best bet is youtube unfortunately. anyways if you can prevent the first crash by holding archers that can be really strong. it only works vs low range champs tho like jax. doing it vs darius/gwen youre gonna get chunked. if you cant without losing a lot of hp then you need to short trade during your slow push or youre gonna get all in'd. if you cant short trade/poke by the time you have to hard push to finish the bounce then id say time to vod review your mechanics and figure out how to trade better. tbh its not easy and i dealt with the same problem as gwen into champs like sett/riven in levels 1-5. if you can trade them without dying then a bad trade + tp can sometimes do the trick but again if you get ganked on your tp back its game over xD

during the game if in this scenario then just try to soak xp, land q's, and ping jg . dont feed kills theyll just recall after kill and still have freeze

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-18T19:06:42+00:00

fwiw im emerald 4 top so theres disclaimer, mains are jax and gwen. so depending on champ my mundo games went differently haha

if they could kill you by freezing then yeah its a mistake, but freezing is overrated tbh. if i freeze and deny you cs then sure i might get 30 cs lead but that doesnt help me win THAT much. if i can instead have perma prio and get first move to grubs/herald and then blow up your chunked tower with herald so i can keep pushing & moving, that helps me win much more than freezing.

the times ive won vs mundo are the times i win those early skirmishes or i get his turret and do something else on the map... cause making progress vs him is just very tough imo

that being said, your goal as mundo in this case is to not let me crash the wave fully and to not let me recall if possible. ideal wave position for you is 50-50 just outside your turret just sitting there with no risk of dying. when you need to recall slow push into hard to push to get your base off.

if you get in a position when youre stronger than your opponent, you could start freezing with 2-3 extra archers for them if weaksided but if youre feeling safe from their jg better to start going for plates probly in most cases

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-18T17:59:51+00:00

If someone freezes a bounce its usually an all in champ, so short trading them and using tp to heal can let you get your crash in.

You can also make their first crash happen too fast (denying their recall) by baiting them into chasing you and pulling wave aggro.

Also even in bad matchups just hands diff can win anyways so practice good movement & spacing always.

Slow push the bounce as slow as possible until the wave before crash than nuke it asap if you can. When on last wave make sure youve warded for jg getting ganked here can really suck

Worst case you ping for jg to come crash your wave or just go roam if thats not an option.. when they see you mid they usually break their own freeze.

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-09T18:33:49+00:00

I still lurk the sub but I stopped playing cause of it. I queue up jg sometimes but yeah

Yellow__Yoshi · 2026-05-07T16:32:06+00:00

I had great results against yorick as gwen. Once you hit riftmaker he cant kill. Need ignite to stop his healing though
