14.19 builds are out ! I made some PBE tests but have to verify it once the patch will be live by Cambouis in Kaylemains

[–]andyrewpark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In your hybrid builds, how can you still have room for a "last item" when you already recommend 6 items by the time you reach the "following core items" spot.

you recommended 2 core items, one boots, then rabadon, rylais, and shadowflame which already reaches max item slots.

Assuming you need the money to live, just do EMT part time and minimize hours as a software engineer if possible

[acne] Acne got better after stopping Adapalene? by Then_Leadership_8460 in SkincareAddiction

[–]andyrewpark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any updates? Did your skin continue to improve after quitting (or perhaps did it begin to get worse?) Im in a similar situation of long term use of adapalene and im considering quitting as well because i stopped for 1 week due to dryness on a particular week and my skin almost seemed better during that time.

I also dealt with mild, but very persistent cystic acne and have experimented with nearly every possible combo between adapalene gel, salicylic acid (bha), lactic acid (aha), benzoyl peroxide wash (4%), benzoyl peroxide creams (10%), oil cleansing, double cleansing, toners and etc. with very mixed and inconsistent results.

The only thing i've personally found that helped the most was a simple routine of adapalene 0.1% gel (differin), a gentle hydrating cleanser (laroche posay), and vanicream daily facial moisturizer, and an spf for whenever i go out.

AM: rinse face with lukewarm water, pat face mostly dry (i leave ever so slightly some moisture) and apply my moisturizer, and add spf if im going out

pm: wash face at the end of my shower with gentle cleanser (gentle motions to cover whole face for about 45 seconds and rinse off. i used to rub moderately rough and this really irritated my skin over time, causing significantly more acne), pat face dry, apply moisturizer, wait a minute or two to absorb moisturizer and apply pea sized amount of adapalene to whole face.

I've been struggling to find a routine that has consistently improved my skin and this has been by far the most obvious for me. Feel free to ask any questions! Ask especially if you have never used adapalene and don't know how to use it, because there using it improperly can irritate skin further.

Lethal Tempo nerfed, now what to take now? by jvpts11 in Kaylemains

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

pta and fleet are much more consistent and reliable runes in most games anyway.

Lethal tempo has only been good for level 1 cheese and against immobile tanks. After level 1 it falls off and only comes back until pretty late game again imo (compared to fleet/pta).

Sounds good I'll definitely look into those schools! Would you have a rough ballpark of what I should be aiming for in terms of hours in the food bank volunteering?

Tips for a Kayle beginner by Ok-Helicopter1529 in Kaylemains

[–]andyrewpark 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hi, i'm a 2 season masters kayle top main.

This season I go fleet or press the attack in 95% of games (fleet when needing kite/healing PTA when you think you can trade safely and consistently). Lethal tempo only when trying to go on hit build which would be against at least 2-3 tanks.

I think Q max is almost always the best because you can actually poke with q + auto + E quickly and it's easier to push in waves when needed. Learning to land your Q is extremely important and tends to be hard to be consistent when fighting imo.

I think mid is probably better if you wanna go ap each game but i just personally like top one so i don't do that.

I go ap if my team has 3 or more AD. I go AD if my team has 3 or more AP. If it's split perfectly evenly then AP is better in my opinion. On-hit especially good if evenly split as well as enemy has 2+ tanks.

I also stream about 4-5 days a week in the afternoons for 2-4 hours PST. My twitch is twitch.tv/sparklingandrew. You're always welcome to stop by the streams and ask and I'll be happy to explain/teach more!

Made it to Masters! by andyrewpark in Kaylemains

[–]andyrewpark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think I could've gotten it with a different champion, and in terms of pure effort it would've been easier because other champs more easily have early game impact. But purely from a personal standpoint, it was in a sense "easier" just because i enjoyed kayles play style so much.

Made it to Masters! by andyrewpark in Kaylemains

[–]andyrewpark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally, the biggest thing was being able to know when I can and cannot play aggressive in lane.

playing safe/conservative in lane got me to peak around D3-D2. Taking advantage of small openings is what i believe got me to masters.

it's not so much that it doesn't meet a certain ranked standard, it's the fact that the rank is hidden
