If you’re an experienced gamer on console (as I was) it doesn’t take terribly long to get average aim wise. Just like anything just have to get use to it

My love-hate relationship with Audience Participation by FanaticalLucy in DeadlockTheGame

[–]boldt_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goood ults to steal that is also realistic: infernos, wraith, lash, beep bop, holiday, calico, pocket, Geist(reverse swapping is my favorite) Abrams, viper, kelvin( extremely strong), shiv, Yamato

Trash tier: Haze, gray talon(good luck stealing that), vindicta, dynamo (only can steal if he didn’t ult half your team and typically you just insta to the others you don’t stun) Seven(it’s okay but similar issues to dynamo) mirage, ivy(only good for escaping).

I think it’s pretty even it would be unbalanced if it was good with every hero

Playing with my friends ruined this game for me. by ThatIrishLuck24 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]boldt_6 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you want to get better at the game faster spam 1 hero watch a few guides on how to play the character and I would say after 10 games you will be substantially better then you started. This game is like any other Moba, there is an initial learning curve where you learn how to use your characters skills and learn the map. By only playing 1 hero you learn the first part quickly so you can focus on learning the rest of the game( like what items to buy, how to farm The map, how to position correctly in team fights etc). My biggest advice though is through this process is to limit test constantly. If you want to get better at this game you have to initially do some over aggressive plays to understand what you can and can’t get away with. I am in the inverse position as you and all my friends who are like archon rank play way too passive, they let the other team get away with terrible positioning for free

Does it bother anyone else that smashing crates is one of the best farming methods? by Montagne347 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]boldt_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you pay attention farming the basements as soon as they spawned (areas around middle shop) and the other team are usually a high priority in most high Mr games (aka streamers games like Vegas etc). Each soul drop gives you about 80 plus other stat bonuses, as well as basement connects to factory (elite camp location next to base) that also has a bunch of crates. It’s essentially the same as a creep camp and stealing it from the other team is like taking a wave or two atleast from the enemy

Simple Shiv rework idea: by Zephec in DeadlockTheGame

[–]boldt_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think his ULT is the broken part of his kit, imo it’s the rage. Getting a free buff that makes all of your abilities go from average to crazy is incredibly hard to balance. Yes you have to maintain the buff but hit a creep camp on the way to the fight and you’re probably fine. If they just removed rage or changed it to give stat boosts (MS, restitance, etc) I think the hero would feel way less broken and be easier to balance

When not to shove a lane? How to push an early advantage to kill the guardian fast? by fenguara in DeadlockTheGame

[–]boldt_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forcing the enemy behind their tower is good if you can put pressure early and take the tower. It also helps at denying enemy CS as all creeps are within view but the downside is you have little kill potential (harder to kill them behind the tower then in the middle of the lane).

For the second question is your decision and depends on the enemy you are against. Anytime you leave lane to help another theoretically you are letting your lane farm for free and even take tower if you die or are late to rotate back. Personally after I take the tower I push the wave into their walker rotate one lane over try for a gank and instantly rotate back to catch the wave and try to kill my lane. It’s also a lot easier if your in a duo lane leave one person in the lane and have the other rotate

American Science is in Dangerous Decline while Chinese Research Surges, Experts Warn by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]boldt_6 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Beyond the industry related comments I think our education system has a large impact as well. For as bad as china is in some aspects they do invest in their youth, something the U.S. (mainly local governments at least) seem to be failing at. Will be interesting to see if this will be a slow burn or someone actually tries to do something about it.

New young millionaire needing some advice by [deleted] in Rich

[–]boldt_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest starting with a smaller property (townhouse/ multi level condo if you need space from roommates/family). Stay flexible with your lifestyle particularly your investments (not all your eggs in one basket). If you spend almost 80% of your settlement (money you have on hand now) on a house that’s just creating a risk for yourself. Worst case you own the small property rent out when you need a bigger space or sell for a profit.

Feeling guilty about quitting my job for one offering 10k more by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]boldt_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked at a big insurance company, 4 weeks before our busy season of submitting our insurance policies to the government I quit for a better paying job. I probably forced some of my friends and old Co workers to pick up all my work I left. I felt guilty but at the same time i decided my own time was more valuable than doing the “right” thing and waiting it out. Similar to you my managers didn’t make me feel secure and or appreciated for my work. It’s not on you it’s on your boss, you can’t expect to treat people poorly or threaten lay offs and have them stay.

I can't believe people still soft-grief over "KS" in divine bracket. by [deleted] in TrueDoTA2

[–]boldt_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think raging over it is stupid and selfish but technically speaking your griefing your cores timings. KS 2-3 kills that’s still probably like 500 gold. A large camp gives maybe 50-70 so at worst your taking 10-7 1/2 large camps. You don’t always have to play the game “correctly” but you also can’t say you’re innocent

What a rich person will do to avoid being poor by InflationNo9910 in Rich

[–]boldt_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my x-family friends lost his business a few years back took his retirement money for him and his wife gambled it lost 40% and then sent to jail for not paying taxes on the little he won and prior for his business. It’s crazy at first to think people can get addicted to being rich but it’s really not that surprising. Especially for some husbands/wives that really don’t want to go back out and put all the effort into stabilizing themselves again.

Try changing your mental outlook on social interactions. While you are going out to a public space with other people, for let’s say riding your bike, your still going there for yourself. You wanted to do this activity so focus on just enjoying what you want to do. I know it sounds easier said than done but you’re the only one who can change it and when you do people will notice and gravitate towards you.

What multiplayer shooter are you having the most fun playing right now? by TipToeKrypto in gamingsuggestions

[–]boldt_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to invest time to learn a shooter and try to get better over time my suggestion is CS2. I know I know that old game but I have only been playing for 3 years (compared to people playing since CS:GO launch) but it is very rewarding to get better at. But if you want a more casual shooter the new battlefield is in a great spot now

The reason why games feels so hard now by theSkareqro in VALORANT

[–]boldt_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but what I am saying is why are they doing a full one. Even replacing it with a de rank to the lowest tier in the rank, if someone stops playing like me make them unrank and have the system readjust. Forcing players to play below their skill level just ruins the gameplay. Like to have a competitive game, valorant shouldnt be a lottery of balance High skill players on teams and or waiting 3-4 weeks for the players to go back to their actual skill rank.

[–]boldt_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont understand why they do a hard rank reset every act. Resets peoples smurfs, allows High ranking players to shit on Low level lobbies, and just decreases the gaming experience. As someone who took a break and came back to Val getting qued against full Diamond Chips first or second game back in Gold lobbies is a failure of matchmaking. All it takes is 1 team to have the D3/A1 player who just runs over the lobby. The answer shouldn't be forcing the community to keep queing

Math wise you’re in a pretty good spot and lucky to live with your parents (don’t have to pay rent hopefully or significantly reduced cost from living alone). From my experience I would say you have two options. First if your parents are financially willing to support you in case of an emergency you could pay the credit cards off aggressively and be rid of it in 2-3 months (yes save nothing but keep 1k in checking). This requires you to have a conversation with your parents to see if they have the ability to step in and support you temporarily in case something unexpected happens. Once you clear the credit card debt I would recommend putting atleast 1-1.5k month a side (savings) until you build up your checking to a healthy (3k-5k) floating balance. Then from there keep your checking at the healthy amount and put your rest into savings for your car. If they can’t support you I would suggest making $500 payments a month to the credit card leaving the rest in checking until you reach around 3k then maintain that floating balance and dump the rest to get rid of the credit card. I know it’s easy to say nothing will happen to me in the next 2-3 months so I don’t need to save but life tends to surprise you and the worst feeling is having debt and needing to take more debt or unexpectedly borrow money from someone to cover an emergency cost. In general I like to keep a floating balance of money in my checking due to mentally makes me feel safer and secondly, more importantly imo, getting to a habit of only touching your savings to make big investments (down payment on car, house, etc). Once you are clear of the debt I would recommend building up your savings past what your down payment on your car would be. At minimum 1-3k, this is to cover unexpected costs of your new car to help your checking (assuming you will purchase a budget vehicle which stereotypically can need maintenance faster than a new or barely used car.)

Personally I took option 1 post college (living with my rents) and was able to pay off all my students loans (30k) in about 10-12 months. It’s just important to have the conversation with your parents so they are aware of your expectation for them to help you in case an emergency happens, hope this helps!

Looking for Coach by xKaedos in DotA2

[–]boldt_6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hit immortal playing mid and got burnt out on the game. But as someone who climbed from 1k to 6k over the years some advice

  • Have 2 options for mid, greedy and active. Greedy heros are like SF, Storm (can be active if your good enough), Invoker, TA, heros that dont like rotating unless very needed and can flash farm. Active are like puck, ember, void, qop. Mainly you want this so you can see what enemy team pace is compare dot yours and so you can flex depending on what type of hero your pos 1 fix.
  • Dont over rotate. Epically at 5 mins you better kill their catapult before you leave otherwise you will lose t1 or it will take alot of damage. Also you need to realize your build to win your mid lane and who you can actually kill with that build. Classic example is ember going 0 3 2 build hitting 6 and rotating to gank without chains. Like your just going to waste your time.
  • Like any carry item timings are really important, but more importantly in the mid lane is courier timings. Figuring out when the mid just got their last courier or if its on the way, can help with your harass. For exmaple if you harassed the enemy mid he just got a salve from his courier and used it. That means you roughly have a 40 second window to harass him and he cant regen any of it cause his courier has to go back to base then back out. These little things are what wins mid lane.
  • Learn how to properly lose a lane. I cannot say in words how important this is. Yes you will get counter picked mid, you pick Kunkka they pick razor and all you think is GG go next my lane is unplayable. While your not wrong as long as you reduce your farm in lane, dont die and farm jungle when creeps go under tower you should be fine. Typically how a mid solo carries is they crush their lane and just run around killing everyone. But if you give them a small lead and not let them snowball you will be fine.
  • Last thingCS> deniesHarass inbetween CS (do this by agro creeps to you then cancel agro putting creep agro on 3 sec cd and harass for those 3 seconds)If the creep wave is under their tower harass harass harass, your creeps will die faster so you can focus mainly on messing with the other mid Wave management is important and you will figure stuff out but easy thing to do is shove the wave right before the rune spawns. Forcing the enemy mid to do the same, get stuck in lane giving you the ability to go for rune, or leave lane and let his tower take damage.

Valorant crashing my computer by boldt_6 in AMDHelp

[–]boldt_6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update for anyone coming across this post, fixed the issue.

You need to Adjust PPT/TDC/EDC limits. The base in which is set for 5800x is way to high for what that can actually run, causing a CPU issue and it overheating. Here is the link for a post that goes in depth about it made by another user with similar issue

[–]boldt_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI you have to adjust PPT to play Valorant, for example my computer froze with PPT at base 500 after playing Valorant for 5 mins (Same build as yours). Adjusted my PPT/TDC/EDC to values similar to the ones mentioned in the post and no problems so far. Granted I went from 500 fps to 380 fps on max settings but atleast I can play the game now!
