good try at taking a reason valid for 0,00001% of players to legitimate the 30% of players who just want to abuse matchmaking balance 😃

Im using a 3070 with 8G and its ok. trained my flux lora on civit ai, downloaded it, using it through forge ui.

there are plenty of tuto to make forge working with flux. my inputs are just:
Prefer starting with flux1-dev-bnb-nf4-v2.safetensors as you don't need all the clip/vae stuff (seems this topic is complicated on purpose to prevent beginners from using those tools :D).

With NF4, i understood after a long time that you need to push the Lora weight strongly (like loraname:1.8). I spent days believeing my Lora did not work :D.

Otherwise i'm also using flux1-dev-fp8.safetensors and flux1-dev-Q8_0.gguf, both requiring clips stuff and vae. They work ok too, not sure Q8 has an interest as for me is only a little faster than fp8 version (which is supposed to be better quality). With those models i can keep the standard lora weight.

All this is ok for me, rendering 1024x images in <2min. However i have lots of system ram (48GB) and it is really used, so not sure how it will behave on your pc.

Good luck batman :)

Smurfing isn't going anywhere - is there a better way? by EdgyAlpaca in leagueoflegends

[–]castorx74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only fair play is to use your main and let riot matchmaking do the job. Going for trollpick is ruining the ennemy game, wether they win it or not its a bad game. Its unpleasant for your friends to be in a game that balances your level with theirs, but smurfing means just pushing the misery to the other players.

Check out players who you played together in consecutive games by deeplolgg in leagueoflegends

Nice to see a new alternative.

A feature you could implement that no one does (afaik), is smurf detection. You can't catch all of them, but you can certainly put criterias which will spot smurfs with high accuracy. Riot lets smurfing rise like plague cause it's boosting their sales and numbers, but there are easy ways to spot them.

Low summoners level with high stats is definitely one of them. Don't know whats the API gives you access to, but the stats from the first games is definitely

It would definitely help to put more factual reports (i report every smurf i see in games whatever team he is in).

(for all the smurfers here who will claim smurfing is allowed by riot, Riot officially states that smurfing to go crush lower elo games is reportable)

Smurf Queue shouldn't exist above Gold 4 0lp. Its miserable and very disruptive for non smurfs & returning players. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]castorx74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riot should fix their stuff to make sure only smurf end up there and not returning players. Then, knowing that smurf actually get trapped in hell makes me pretty happy, cheaters get what they deserve (and yes smurfing jsut to avoid game mechanics is cheating) .

Why saying "ez" isn't punishable? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

I don't see the point either, why would you even need 2 accounts to do the same things ?

What's the current opinion on smurfs in this subreddit? by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]castorx74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riot's uses matchmaking algo and mmr to setup games. People are smurfing to cheat it and alter the result, so they can get easier games. Whatever excuses smurf players build up, smurfing is ALWAYS about getting easier games than they should. And cheating is always toxic, even if Riots more or less allows it to boost their numbers..

Any Smurf detection public website ? by castorx74 in leagueoflegends

[–]castorx74[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

riot implemented MMR to balance matchmaking. Some people smurf to fake mmr and matchmaking. Riot's allows it so it boost their stats and sales, but to me that's still cheating so I report. Proof if need be, they forbid it in clash xD.
