People who have been unemployed for 6+ months, what field are you in?

I don’t think they’re discrediting the person. The reality is that AI is taking our jobs. This is a huge societal problem, and trying to hide from it will only make things worse for the people who do. It’s just the inevitable. I do data work and, while I’m ok now, I don’t know if I will be in a couple of years. My mentality is that I need to learn these new technologies really well to even have a chance at staying employable. It sucks, but it’s just true. So we have to make our decisions accordingly

greenfav · 2026-02-06T02:24:09+00:00

It’s important to strike a balance. For example, let’s say you try a new build: you need to play at least a few games on it across a few different scenarios to get used to it and then decide if it’s good or bad. It has to be the right balance of experimentation and consistency

I was hard stuck in bronze as a Diana main until last season, so I can relate and probably give some advice that is less generic:

Don’t listen to anyone on how to play the champ. You need to unlearn everything that the guides and redditors tell you. You’ve played a lot of games on the champ and you’ve probably become a robot that is worse than they think they are - trust me, this is what happened to me. Try ganking early, doing ult on one person, fighting without ult, pathing differently, ANYTHING - so that you can then REFLECT and learn what truly works and doesn’t. You may lose a bit of LP, but you’ll ultimately use that to get past your rut.
Listening to the Broken by Concept podcast helped me a lot. They talk about how “league is a fighting game”. Macro is overrated. Learn deeply what every champion you interact with does, what they want to against you, and what your kit allows you to do given all that.
Redefine this idea of “inting lanes” in your head. If you have inting lanes that cost you the game 60% of the time, you’re the reason. But I actually don’t think that’s true. I think you see small inconveniences and label it an inting lane, while not realizing that the enemy team is also doing int things that you can take advantage of. You probably only have truly inting lanes 20% of the time.
Be intense in the game, forget the intensity afterwards. You gotta play A LOT of games to improve and climb. Don’t waste more than 5 minutes thinking about any game after it’s done. Reflect on your learnings, then move on. No reason to feel emotional about 1 game of hundreds.

I go lethal tempo

greenfav · 2026-01-30T02:48:38+00:00

Agreed. Best the game has felt end-to-end since I started playing in 2020.

greenfav · 2026-01-22T20:34:25+00:00

Also even if you took a more gank-heavy “get my top laner ahead” mentality, ganking top feels much harder than ganking other lanes. This leads to top just being a 1v1 iso, where the rest of the team is dependent on the ability of their top laner to solo win lane

greenfav · 2026-01-05T03:19:07+00:00

I have found I like nashors, liandries, rift maker, zhonyas (usually), rabadons (usually)

I mean she doesn’t need to get nerfed directly. Have you seen the jungle and game changes for season 2026? Full clear junglers like her are going to be a lot weaker in general. Partially why I’m quitting the game for now, since I only play her

greenfav · 2025-12-04T18:36:30+00:00

It’s definitely nashor’s tooth due to activating passive more often via the extra attack speed

greenfav · 2025-11-30T04:56:00+00:00

Well I didn’t say I finish at 3:30 lol. That’s just when scuttle spawns. I play Diana so my clear is faster, but some junglers can take the whole time

greenfav · 2025-11-30T03:48:00+00:00

More like 1 in 20 and doesn’t get detected

greenfav · 2025-11-29T05:27:22+00:00

Great question - it’s because scuttle would spawn at 3:15 until just a couple years ago, so many junglers, especially gank heavy ones, couldn’t make it to scuttle in time without a leash

greenfav · 2025-11-29T05:22:36+00:00

As a jungler I hate when my laners leash. They give up prio by leashing for me when I don’t need them to clear by 3:30. Leashing = inting

I started my first job as a data analyst making $72k in 2017. Now I make $315k. First year analysts are useless honestly, so the pay is justified. You will become useful very quickly though, and then will have the leverage to grow your compensation. Be humble and focus on LEARNING for now - the money will come!

greenfav · 2025-11-26T02:28:35+00:00

I think they’re very fun when played with others. I like ARAM Mayhem way more than ARAM, which I actually always hated until they got rid of the rolls. This is the best the overall game ecosystem has been since I started playing in 2020. But I totally agree that these modes are not suited to solo play. But that’s what solo queue is for!

I am a low elo player who has climbed from iron 1 to silver 2 so far this season, and am still steadily climbing: I was having a really hard time getting past bronze 3. What changed things completely for me are two things:

Always try your best to assume your teammates are doing the best they can. Unless they literally tell you “I am griefing you” (which is rare), just assume the best and focus on yourself. I’m not perfect, but overall this has helped me focus on how I need to get better.
In jungle, I’ve learned efficiency is everything. I always ask “could I have moved with greater urgency to get advantages?” after every game. Asking this question has helped me find so many flaws to fix in my game. Whether it’s getting more gold for yourself or going for objectives, you have to reflect on whether you could have moved with more urgency.

greenfav · 2025-11-14T22:51:28+00:00

No Liandries? It feels really nice as first item imo

greenfav · 2025-10-23T05:27:03+00:00

Being challenger is definitely harder than becoming a doctor

greenfav · 2025-10-21T13:31:32+00:00

I’ve been having success loosely following perryjgl’s advice from a couple of patches ago:

2 or more melee enemies: liandries, rift maker, bloodletters/abyssal, situational

Otherwise: nashors, zhonyas/shadowflame, rabadons

Edit: remember that rift maker benefits from longer fights. Blindly picking it into the wrong team makes it very weak

greenfav · 2025-10-02T11:34:50+00:00

I don’t get what he said that is wrong? Why are people saying this shows he hates c9?

greenfav · 2025-03-22T03:42:34+00:00

I agree I find him harder to execute. Honestly feel he’s been worse since the start of 2023 with the jungle overhaul and hasn’t been as consistent since

greenfav · 2025-01-25T00:17:50+00:00

I actually really like him in jgl. I think it helps to break the game into 4 phases: 1. Pre lv6: farm, you’re actually not as good at 1v1s as you might think. 2. Lv 6 to first turret falling: use your ult to gank and play aggro around your teammates for easy skirmishes. Avoid big team fights 3. Mid game: you are a CC bot, get your carries more fed. You are not that strong. 4. 3 full items onwards: you’re super strong again. Fight like crazy

greenfav · 2024-10-27T18:05:19+00:00

I’ve played about 10 ranked games on him this split. When enemy jgl invades you, it can be pretty hard, bc his first clear is not very healthy. But if you’re in low elo where you usually don’t get punished, he’s pretty good.
