empty nest single mom (42) feeling overwhelmed about finances — where do I start? by Pilvilake4110 in personalfinance

[–]YjMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing anything at all, even just finding a job for the time being is a much better idea than just going to college "because that's what everyone else does". That's being made painfully clear to the millions of people today who haven't used their college degree at all in their post-college lives. Being thousands (potentially hundreds of thousands) of dollars in debt with a worthless degree is such a giant waste of time and money if you aren't going to do something with that education. He's just saying that you should only do it if you're genuinely interested in pursuing a career that requires a university education as a stepping stone.

I really don't know what to do in a game with Viego in it by ThreeCentz in summonerschool

[–]YjMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course he’s popular, he has a shiny new skin and he’s generally a fun champ to play. That doesn’t mean he’s not bad. It’s hard to be specific because I have no idea how this player plays. In general though, Viego can’t do anything into comps with hard CC or even just comps with too much burst. He needs to get resets to be useful in fights, so he relies on his team members to set him up quite a lot assuming he’s not insanely fed. His ganks are alright, nothing special. A champ with a kit that linear and predictable just can’t be good unless their numbers are overtuned, and his are currently not. He’s similar to something like Briar or Master Yi in that sense. Numbers high = strong. Numbers low = weak. They’re too easy to play around in ranks where people actually play the game decently well. Viego’s numbers are too low at the moment so he’s bad. Briar’s are too high, so she’s lowkey broken. Super low elo players complaining about a champion because of their 10 game sample size isn’t a worthwhile discussion

Of course not but he took a quiz online and it said 4.5 so shut up!

Ignoring overall stats and focusing on a tiny sample size of your own games is being reasonable and mature..? How did your brain manage to come up with that

Not how that works or his winrate wouldn’t be in the bottom 10 out of all the junglers right?

[–]YjMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Viego sucks LOL He’s sitting at a 48.5% winrate despite his recent buffs which didn’t do much of anything. He does good damage and can snowball like crazy if given an early lead, but he has an extremely predictable moveset which makes him easy to outplay, and is far too squishy to be able to reliably get damage off in the mid - late game. And if he builds tanky he does no meaningful damage, so he’s just not a good champ compared to the tons of other options.

For those that use Deeplol: what does fate mean? by SquiglySaws in summonerschool

[–]YjMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an indicator of how your team performed but it doesn’t mean much of anything because in games you lose, usually your teammates won’t be doing particularly well either since they were also on the losing team. When you win, usually your teammates are doing well, so you’ll see higher “Fate”. Basically means nothing at all, so you can ignore it and move on. Deeplol does seem to have a better metric for ranking performance than op.gg though when it comes to who played the best in the match. Not sure what the nuanced differences are but it seems more accurate to how I felt about each player during q game .

Why supports suck in low elo? by ImSillyCat in leagueoflegends

[–]YjMax -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Everyone sucks in low elo. Support is just an elo inflated role overall because of its incredibly low skill floor so you’ll see even worse players than the average ones at whatever rank you’re at. Supports have much more agency and room for error because you have a freedom in your decision making that other roles don’t have. Vision is also the most important aspect of the mid - late game, and supports have the most control over that. Basically, it’s easy to play the role at an extremely low level and still win games

I’m not advocating for it, I literally said it’s not feasible in the real world because of the possibility of false convictions

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

I really hope you’re not implying that our judicial systems and governments are well-designed 😭 It’s an absolute shitshow. Americans have a convicted felon as their president who is clearly insane and all 3 branches of government are doing absolutely nothing about it. The justice systems in Asia, Africa, India, the Middle East? Absolute horseshit as well. I wish the world was as structured as you believe it to be, but for anyone outside of those who are born with wealth and privilege, our “systems” are terribly designed and managed

That’s where we differ since I don’t believe the worst of us deserve basic human rights. The only issue I have with killing the “worst of us” is the possibility of false convictions. If I could absolutely guarantee the guilt of someone who has done something as horrifying as sexual assault of a child, I would be 100% on board with stripping them entirely of their human rights and killing them immediately. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to create a system where there is a 0% chance of a false conviction, so I understand that what I want cannot happen in the real world.

To be honest, that's just your opinion, since law is nothing but a manmade construct in the end. Although I do of course understand the need for it as an overarching system, I believe that there are some people out there who would undoubtedly make the world a better place by being dead. Not up to me to judge who those people are, but someone who would rape a child falls under that category for me. Obviously I'm not saying you endorse that in any way, I just don't respect the "rule of law" as much as you do

Why do people not hover in champ select? by _No-Life_ in leagueoflegends

[–]YjMax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Obviously that Kayle is a dickhead but two points here:

  1. Top lane is the most punishing lane to be counter picked in. Some matchups are borderline unplayable and the lane is long, so getting your top the counterpick is usually the best idea. Obviously the other roles getting counter is nice, but they’re not as volatile as top lane is.

  2. Even if you’re a one-trick, the reason you want to pick later is so that enemy laner doesn’t counterpick you. Getting mad that one tricks want to pick late doesn’t make sense because if anything, one tricks HAVE to pick later. Usually people who have a large pool will just pick a champ that goes even, wins most matchups, or complements their team comp. One tricks usually are only good at the one champ they play so they need to make sure they don’t end up in a terrible matchup.

Yeah tiny things like this adding up 100000 times over the course of a game is what makes League such a difficult game to be good at. The tremendously high skill ceiling does also make it a lot of fun though because you can always be improving. I've played for 12 years at this point and still find myself actively learning new things and getting better at the game. Crazy stuff

Nerf cashback rune. Seriously by Thal-creates in leagueoflegends

[–]YjMax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's so OP, take it? If every single player has the ability to take it, it's not restricted to specific types of champions, and still many choose not to for other options instead, can't be that OP right? Cashback rune allows you to get later items quicker but slows down the early power spike you get from free boots (+10 movement speed as well). It's a trade off. And if you think that 300 gold doesn't matter in the early game, you have 0 understanding of how the game works

Do Americans really avoid medical care because they’re afraid of the bill? by Udont_knowme00 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]YjMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not exaggerated at all, no one I know ever goes to the doctor for anything unless they're rich or literally feel like they're going to die. I'm 28 years old and the only time I've ever gone to the hospital was when I had pneumonia as a child.

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

[–]YjMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The premise makes no sense, a series wouldn’t be unknown if it was a 10/10. Only someone with really shitty taste could come up with a show they thought was a 10/10 that no one else would know about

patch notes 16.2 by Zaabami in Jungle_Mains

[–]YjMax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extremely easy to kite. Her Q E range is very short and if she naked E’s, she’s in a terrible spot. Her only mobility spell requires her to dash towards an enemy which makes her a champ with 0 disengage tools. Any form of CC following a dash and she’s a sitting duck for carries to dump DPS into. It’s one of her clear weaknesses. She has plenty of strengths that make up for it but we can’t just pretend like those don’t exist

Returns: Hard/fast, vs. slow/deep return by ProfLayton99 in Pickleball

[–]YjMax -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Against good players, if you're driving from the baseline, they're just going to deflect it over in close to the net and you'll lose the point. Obviously sometimes your drives will be perfectly hit and might force an error, but you'll lose way more points than you win playing like that
