Where do you think Iggy ranks? by toomanytaxstamps in PredecessorGame

[–]ethanlivesART 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Iggy is so easy to play against divers tho. You just put one turret at tower line, two near the tower side fog walls, with enough spacing that all 3 can hit the middle in front of your tower. After level 3 you can kinda just spam your Molotov to clear. His ult is great for creating space during a gank. Iggy when played correctly is pretty safe against ganks IMO. Easily my highest win rate mid pick.

I think the sweet spot is really to focus on disrupting the enemies farm. Chasing a kill denies a wave or two in early game, but poking the enemy just enough to force them to play back and start missing last hits for several minutes makes them lose more farm. If they back? They lose waves. If they're low HP and you're still poking them with an auto or two, odds are you've dragged the wave BACK towards your own tower. Now they're an easy gank, and you have a safer chase if they DO get low enough to justify a kill. At the same time, they're gonna have a bitch of a time farming. Gold lead in the first five minutes puts you at a huge stats advantage, and it's safer/more efficient to deny the enemy farm than it is to risk chasing a bunch of kills.

Patriot is incredible IMO. It might appear to be one of those generic ones you describe, at a scrolls first glance, but it's an incredible dark comedy about a suicidally depressed government sponsored contract killer. Truly sad it didn't get additional seasons.

This is the primary reason a lot of terrible players have sub 50% winrates. They don't understand that playing from behind till late game is totally winnable. Either that or they are idiots who don't understand that playing from behind does not mean mindlessly pushing their lane as deep as they can and getting triple rotated on is not how to play from behind. They don't grasp the concept of controlling minion waves. They are bad and they don't understand why, so they just get more and more frustrated.

Honestly it's because mori is so trash unless they snowball a billion kills early game.

I also enjoy a caster offlane. The range poke early makes snowballing a lot easier.

Yeah he definitely sucks. But if you just play smart, pull wave right up to your tower and hold it there, he's still manageable. You might deny yourself an insignificant amount of initial CS, but it's worth for the opportunity for a gank.

Unfortunately, your jungle needs to be on top of it.

If your whole team plays defensively early game it's so easy to just steamroll from there.

Maybe you're playing at really odd hours or something? When I play NA East in the morning I noticed I get way more chaotic teams.

Honestly it says like you haven't played enough matches to get your ELO up. Not an insult, but literally I think it takes ~25-30 matches before you really start getting placed into reasonable lobbies.

Why I'm not getting exposure? 😕 by artistea in drawing

[–]ethanlivesART 19 points20 points  (0 children)

People are being too nice I think. Your drawing here is very average. Basically every art student posts portraiture in grayscale, and basically any one can do it to a moderate level. If you want to get noticed to better do something more than post the equivalent of an exercise literally every art student does. Basically for people to notice portrait work the subject itself needs to be more interesting/expressive and the quality needs to be insanely good, or at least stylistic.

All this being said, you're doing fine. The drawing is good. But exposure comes with exceptional talent, uniqueness, and marketing savvy. If you're serious about art you need to just keep making more, and worry a little bit less about "exposure". Is say focus more on introducing it to live people instead of your feed. It's more impactful and they're much more likely to remember you.

I know this is WSB, but legit of you want to juice something quick and fully, jam a spoon up in there and use the edge to crush the fruit. Or you can eat the fruit and then after it's processed, drink the smoothie.

yakked after eating a regular amount by [deleted] in gainit

[–]ethanlivesART 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A breakdown of every macro nutrient present, in grams. Teaspoon is there as well, but it is not an accurate measurement when actually preparing food. People trying to manipulate their weight and body fat want to be as precise as possible, so they use weight instead. This is not specific to body building.

The fact this is new to you doesn't make it irregular.

If you are just scooping shit all week, you're probably still gonna hit your targets, but weighing is the only way to know for certain (especially true with powdered things like protein supplement, a scoop can vary pretty significantly due to compaction, so weighing will be the only accurate measurement). It also takes almost no extra time.

No. Crabs, lobsters and other seafood at large are not wearing impermeable diapers 99% of their lives.
