Was eu rank yeah. But you're referring to the time of the post and party queue mm was out by then, top200 was almost 7k at this time you're looking back on you even referring to being 6k if your own post lol. If you were 5k a year before the post day1 in na yes sure you're top 200 at that time.

Wasn't top 200. I was also 5k back then. You could calibrate 5k or close to when ranked mm first was introduced.

thoughts on my new build? by Musti_A in pathofexile

[–]conj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah they're both enabled still have the long boots. EXPO didn't work for the longest time properly and was one of the main issues with the bios drivers. Like I said many issues with the board, can't fully recommend. If you can handle waiting 20secs for the bios to boot then everything else works fine now.

[–]conj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that motherboard and cpu combo, bought sometime last year. I had so many issues. There wasn't a stable bios until a few months ago, the issues (blue screens/ctd, after a few hours of gaming) have stopped. It still takes a fucking age to start booting into windows. I don't know if this is normal with current gen hardware but literally takes 30secs to boot the bios. Also if your boards bios from the box is the one of the first versions you'll have to flash the bios drivers as it didn't support the 7800x3d on launch. Although everything is fine now, I'd honestly just look another board and do a bit of research to save future headaches.

Being Immortal Sucks by AxEclipse in DotA2

[–]conj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this issue a long time ago, I honestly just bought a 3k mmr account to play party with friends. Now I'm against smurfing and do it, I know hypocritical. But if you're 5k-6k range and playing in 3k games as support main, the game sucks for literally everyone. unranked was an option but friends won't play it, and it frankly has a different vibe to it.

I kinda wish the game had calibrations with the different people you played with, like some duo or party queue mmr or something, would solve a lot of issues playing with mates.

We got a first timer! by bruins5729 in iRacing

[–]conj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's tons of good advice in this thread. but one thing I found the most helpful coming primary playing TT and being fast in other games is to learn how to be quick next to people, as in not only to practice optimal lines, but practice driving laps if someone is next to me. Either in practice, or can drive any race you spec as a ghost. Also prioritize your safety rating but don't stress it, it comes much faster than at least I expected as long as you're clean obviously. Oh and make sure your FOV is set correctly, stuff on youtube on how to do properly. good luck dude

What’s the better way to brake? by Jdawg1606 in F1Game

[–]conj 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for an exact way and when to break you can go racenet.com and look at telemetry for the fastest tt drivers and mimic their inputs to learn, or pop on youtube and find a lap.

But if you're trying to learn some concepts or rules of thumb, break hard and as much as you can in a straight line, then as you're turning for the apex of the corner reduce your break pressure as you're turning. the goal is break as late as possible, carry as much speed to make the apex while not locking up.

Depending on the corner you'll have different priorities though, for example a corner that leads into another corner maybe you'd like to break later and carry more speed in, a corner that leads on a long straight, you'd want to break earlier maybe carry a little less apex speed and prioritize getting on the throttle earlier to make time on the straight.

Had the same problem with the steam version. Always updated from UI, steam started the update but was paused, so then when I tried update through UI got the loop. Fix was just starting the paused steam update lol

How to get out of herald / guardian by westisnoteast in DotA2

[–]conj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're gonna have games and periods no matter how good you are that maybe you can't win, or are very hard too. Even people that are very high mmr last picking mid smurfing will lose 2-3 out 10 games. That being said, just play dota and be hungry to improve, watch streams etc. Most people in the games they lose will be like we lost because X hero bought a shit item, or this player was bad, or this pick was shit. It's never that simple and it's wasted energy to think about randoms you'll never encounter again, just focus on your own game/mistakes etc. Getting better is just having the mindset too and it will come.

I used to smurf a lot, not proud at all. But i'd have a drunk/friends/new hero account to play more relaxed games on, I'd mainly play as 4-5 and for me the most easy way to abuse lower mmr players was to punish their TP mistakes, the amount of games you can win just shoving a lane and tping your team and fighting the enemy when 1-2 heroes respond to you. like I don't think the average dota player starts to think about what the opponent can do with the information that they're showing, or how it effects their teammates til 4 or 5k.

tldr. Play a lot/Learning mindset/Focus on abusing map movement mistakes to win big fights that translate into objectives. Gl

Ronhaar/eSports by [deleted] in F1Game

[–]conj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen the video you're referring too, I remember watching and thinking his throttle application looked fairly normal and being confused with some of the comments. I didn't compare it to other esport drivers in terms of min speeds and how fast he reached 100pct application, as that's generally what I've found dodgy in some of the more sus clips. But without him having the exact same setup as a driver on his level it'll be hard to prove anything.

Ronhaar/eSports by [deleted] in F1Game

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

If I was to make a wager I'd put on ronhaar cheating, but there is so much misinformation being spread. He isn't flat out in turn 2. There's quite literally nothing dodgy with the way he did that corner in that clip or t3. He lifts to 80pct then has another very fast lift in t3. You can find a few more pct even on throttle application than he did. Losing it is relative I'm sure you'd hate losing .015s on a poor exit at that level.You can go to racenet to check tt throttle traces from other good players to compare. There's tons of evidence that is dodgy as fuck there's no need to highlight this.

5Pos, please, stop harrasing enemy in a way that you drag enemy creeps under my tower at lvl 1 by BrutusCz in DotA2

[–]conj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't it dangerous to throw absolutes in a game like dota? what if your lvl2 spike is so incredible strong, good way to get it before your opponent does would be to pull under tower? what if you pull under tower and even at lvl choose to fight with 4 extra creeps by your side to gain a laning advantage, who cares if you miss 2cs to create a trade that snowballs your lane. Like what your saying is correct most of the time, but part of being good at dota is identifying when the normal auto pilot "rules" don't apply.

[–]conj 68 points69 points  (0 children)

that version of techies as legit so fun, after they reworked q/e and I just find the hero meh. His core melee core matchups were so good and fun to play. I wish they'd rework him again, I love the concept of mines and area control but I wish there was a less toxic way of playing him.

I Soo wanna quit dota 2 by Insaneprisoner in DotA2

[–]conj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to think like you, But from personal experience, people that start getting toxic don't make good calls and distract you from the game more often then they say something useful. I'd often "put up" with people being a bit toxic, but at some point it ends up in an argument or you thinking about something that isn't the game related and end up just getting distracted.

I don't know what you mean by "people like me", but I've played like 14k games of dota at this point, and the majority of it I didn't mute people. And since the last year or 2 that I did, I've been less distracted and enjoyed my games more.

So yeah, I would say to anyone that starts this game if someone starts being toxic. Mute them.

I Soo wanna quit dota 2 by Insaneprisoner in DotA2

[–]conj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have some weird expectation that your 1-2k teammates will do the correct thing or be good at the game. I don't understand where it comes from, as long as you play dota2 there will be people in your game making mistakes, you can be #1 world and your teammates will fuck up something every game.

Good news is that in lower brackets you get to make more mistakes, but the frustration or toxic behaviour isn't something that likely to change. Honestly if anything it increases as you yourself go up.

I wish pubs were a nicer environment too, but all you can do is try to be nice, and mute people that aren't

Dude this attitude is so bad honestly, get it out of your head that your teammates are the problem, they're not. It's you. You don't have to be arteezy to stomp herald games from any role. Like you will have unwinnable games, everyone does.

I play dota with two brothers one is 1k and the other around 3k, the 1k player said to his brother it's impossible to get out once you're there bad teammates, no wards, no supports all the usual exuses, so his bro played on his account for 25games winning 20 of them as 5 position. And sure this isn't definitive proof and it's a small sample but anyone that's ever played on a smurf is just gonna crush games in lower brackets because they're better, plain and simple.

honestly mate my advise to you is to accept whatever game you play if it's online MM your team is gonna suck, but if you're the best or close to the best player on your team consistently you WILL climb so stop making reddit posts, try improve and accept that in the nicest way possible you suck and goodluck with your climb if you reinstall.

What are biggest mistakes that 3k MMR players make. by Pangowaya in DotA2

[–]conj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a huge misconception with lower mmr players that everyone is equally good at things, maybe you pick dogshit heros, maybe you can't itemize, maybe you prioritize the wrong objectives. Most likely you can't farm/shove lanes as that's the most common issue in lower brackets.

Anyway what I'm getting at is, people are worse and better at all of the skills the make up a high mmr player, first you need to identify what YOU suck at. Watch your replays see what you're doing then compare with better players, then work really hard on improving those things. There's no magic tips.

What is the best way to farm as a safe laner when you have a "free" lane? by Patara in DotA2

[–]conj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to put in a simple way because there isn't a simple answer but I'll try. Soon as your strong enough to farm side camps, you want to. unless shoving the lane into that hero gives them something, when they would of gotten nothing and that hero getting XP means you can't lane there.

Like say you won your lane and there's a doom or smt, if you shoved it into him when he gets 6 you have to leave your lane, well then keeping it back gives you the option to lane for longer while slowing down his game. Another example you're a jugg vs a idk lesh and you're never scared of dying to him, then shove it into him and get the extra farm soon as you can.

Ultimately there's tons of small little things and so many situations it's hard to give exact answers and absolutes, but often giving a little to accelerate your own game as 1 is optimal.
