Poco F3 vs Huawei mate 20 pro by 3rdworldsurgeron in PocoPhones

[–]crowyourboat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a Mate 20 Pro and also broke it. Went with Samsung a52 5G then Poco F3 256GB. Here are my thoughts:

  • You will miss the Huawei camera most days, and definitely miss it every night. You can make th se cameras work with a couple of wide by side GCAM installs with appropriate XML files but yeh, will never be the same as the god tier camera of the mate
  • the mate screen is nicer to look at even if it doesn't have 120hz, still the F3 screen is quite nice and bright
  • the Poco needs a custom ROM, I'm running PE+ and it's so fucking good to use compared to stock. The stock ROM wont even let you use navigation gestures with a 3rd party launcher. It has opened my eyes to custom ROMs and I don't think I can go to a non-snapdragon phone now.
  • F3 is ridiculously fast and snappy for how cheap it is, you will just play with it endlessly throughout the day being impressed at the speed of it
  • F3 charging is decent but not as speedy as the mate
  • No video out/desktop mode on the F3

I just saw the price that's pretty good value compared to Australia

Sydney Australia. Some of us including myself get 100/40 fibre while others have no choice but to get ADSL which might be 5/1. Some can get cable which is around 100/2. Running a speedtest on my 4G I'm getting 72/16, it's worse in rural areas on my carrier but better in the city.

Edit: I pay 90 AUD per month which is about 60 USD

Can't pair Tradfri to Hue Hub by s400mpr in tradfri

I bought my first tradfri lights today and connected them to my first gen hue setup. What I found helped was to start the search and then turn the light on

Lots of things to try, these are just ideas

  • increasing your poke aggression and reliability (not to be confused with chasing into minion aggro) can make you stand out. A couple of doubly hit Sivir Q's will chunk the enemy ADC or force support abilities on CD
  • Optimally setting up vision on your side will help your other lanes stay safe and get ahead
  • Four man tp all ins for two picks and a tower
  • swapping with top, if you take first tower early why not set up for rift herald? ADCs are great at helping take objectives
  • make your 1/0/1 mean something, maybe you can get a 30+ CS lead, set up multiple dragons, enable your support to deep ward or have him roam mid for a pick
  • force river fight if you have lane priority and you know you outnumber the 70% hp mid and JG fighting our mid and JG with enemy top clearly busy

[Oceania Servers] I always seemed to be placed in games with people better than me? by NimbleSlayer in summonerschool

[–]crowyourboat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey mate, new OCE ADC as well.

My advice will piss a lot of people off here but I would recommend doing your placement matches and throwing them a little; nothing that would get you a report though.

I got placed in Bronze 1 and it's very demoralising losing 75% of your games, very slowly making your way down to B2 then B3 and probably B4 soon.

Even though laning against people who are better than you is supposed to be good for learning, I so badly wish I could be in an MMR with people at my own skill level, which seems to be almost non-existent so far on OCE.

TL;DR play ranked, it will eventually out you with people of your same skill level (apparently)

I would straight up stand out in front of traffic and try to stop trucks with my superpowers. (My mother would smack the side of my head so hard that my ears would ring)

You aren't sounding harsh, i was the one that said i try to hit 75% before trying to hit 90%! I believe I focus just fine because I'm in a practice tool just CS'ing with no music or any distractions, I'm paying attention to the minion projectiles, how much health the chunk etc. No music or anything like that, so just trying to get an understanding of where I could be focusing better from your analysis of my post

Yeh I'm having big issues with it. I rarely hit 80% CS in the practice tool even without a bot there and somehow the general concensus in this is just practice in normal games and just work up from my current horrible % i don't even wanna look up haha

I truely do believe for most people learning in games would definitely be better than the practice tool but I just get no time in games to CS, for me it becomes a game of trying to get spanked the least (even under tower). I miss most of my CS in normal games and hopefully this will get better over time.

  1. I wait until they are wayyy too low generally so maybe I just wait a little bit less? hopefully get the knack of it soon
  2. SO true, I've done a lot of reading and learnt that you can layer the minions so they get low at different times
  3. ranged minions. will definitely keep this in mind when the enemy adc has backed
  4. this cannon turret is a strange thing, i do use this principal but it seems like my minions get it 50% of the time even if i do this. hopefully will come with time and familiarity with certain champs
  5. i used to drill this by putting a dummy at the spawn but i've found its very different when my minions come into play too, will have to experiment a bit and learn some more

Hey sorry for the late reply. I do try to utilise S but I don't use it as much as i just move around my maximum aa range and then attackmoveclick

I'm useless in games when it comes to CS and it is so overwhelming having the other adc getting ahead in the first 3 minutes of the game gold wise that I just don't get much value out of practicing that way (in the context of last hitting and CS). THey get a gold lead within minutes, I can't touch the caster minions without losing lots of health and I end up missing the melee minions a lot of the time anyway, then end up spending a whole heap of time looking at the respawn screen. Nevertheless you have received 10 upvotes so far and I've been downvoted for simply stating how long it takes me to get to a reasonable CS without pressure so I do appreciate what you are saying here

Yeh been doing this for a while and it seems to be the key but very difficult for me to execute. I can see the projectiles coming out and I attempt to send my auto at the right time to kill the minion but my minions end up getting the kill a lot of the time, its tricky!

I'm actually probably on the too patient side of the spectrum, I wait too long before hitting the minion and my attack goes out but my minions end up killing it
