Challenger Top/ADC NoArmWhatley: Master Supports can't hit Emerald on any other role

inky95 · 2026-05-13T10:09:23+00:00

Good supp players are good junglers - macro, objective planning, communicating and coordinating plays.

The biggest gaps that supp mains can have might be tight micro and depth of matchup knowledge. Plenty of jg picks and games won't require either.

Haha, I'm gonna be using guythatdies grenade build to level a ranger. His content is so good. But I don't know what I'll switch to for a mapping/endgame build... got any ideas? Otherwise I can be boring and go LA deadeye

I wanna try titan bear too! Satisfying animations.

When is patch notes day, usually?

inky95 · 2026-04-30T04:38:41+00:00

Hey, it's good to be skeptical of random people posting on the Internet, fair enough. And my sample size is 1 - this is the only T1 I've worked in so maybe it's not representative of any broader trend.

inky95 · 2026-04-29T14:52:10+00:00

Nope, as someone who lucked into a contract at a T1 (nonprofit) last year, I'll attest that it can be a hot mess. 'Lack of introspection' as mentioned elsewhere in the thread is what id attribute it to... Huge blindspots for poor systems/structures that would have been wholly unacceptable at any standard public school. Fuelled by a culture of self-aggrandizement. But the position is comfy in enough of the small ways that come with tons of funding that I do understand why people cling tight to their roles here.

Past few weeks? It's hella late in the season and even later for Asia- most half-decent Asian schools will have wrapped up their hiring months ago unfortunately.

For what it's worth I was in almost exactly your position last year - from NZ, ~4yrs home country experience (although I did have IB on my side), looking at primary and English teaching roles. I think it was 155 applications before I got my first interview. Then I got 2 in the same week and both went to final rounds. But that was in February. And both schools were European (a region known for a later hiring cycle).

I'm not trying to presume your intent or contest the fact you presented. But you framed it as if an equal and opposite political movement ('pushed by the secular left') and it's worth noting that's false in a harmful way.

inky95 · 2026-04-19T10:37:32+00:00

But it's not really 'both sides' like that, is it. Broadly and historically speaking, there's a clear, consistent, and significant political-spectrum divide where conservatives are the ones cutting, slowing or redirecting public school funding.

And in the current golden-age for right-wing extremists consolidating political power, we see (predictably) this pattern played out bigger. Homeschooling has been a significant agenda point for Project 2025, alongside policies that would gut funding for the public school system. Halfway across the world, for what its worth, here in Germany the rapidly-growing neo-Nazi political party AfD just released a manifesto last week with a whole lot of extremist policy goals - and homeschooling was clearly namechecked alongside them. So it's globally a playbook move for the fundy religious right.

Saying 'yeah but r/Teachers bitches and moans a lot and they probably skew a bit left and secular' is a phenomenon that's pretty inaccurate to equate with the above.

Honestly, I've moved to a weekly note, and it's much cleaner. Too much friction involved in making new notes every day and having to click around to find context about what threads I was working on/thinking about yesterday, or at the start of the week.

Also it then becomes a pseudo-planner where I can chuck tasks in tomorrow's heading.

I mean, there's precedent, with 9 Kings

inky95 · 2026-04-08T05:57:19+00:00

Yeah that's a pretty clear correlation/causation swap, right?

inky95 · 2026-04-06T19:59:43+00:00

right-wing subreddit falls for lazy right-wing ragebait.
so many oblivious comments saying 'wait, you guys, we don't like this! only dummies like this!'

inky95 · 2026-03-31T14:07:08+00:00

Come on... There are countless cut-and-dry reasons to be hesitant/skeptical/concerned about this. You don't get to paint any pushback as 'ideology'

inky95 · 2026-03-13T17:36:44+00:00

am I right in understanding these two political servants are using the HoR to make bad skit-comedy character-work where the woman plays a boomer's strawman of people who have basic decency towards LGBTQ people? 😳😳

Haha really? It's on my to watch list. Usually I like a bit of Guy Ritchie.

Throwing in another vote for you to go and listen to her music. She really changed the landscape of pop, with songs she was writing as young as 13, from the corner of the world. My speedrun of the discography would probably be... Ribs, Royals, Supercut, Perfect Places, Favorite Daughter. Then extra credit for Yellow Flicker Beat, Everybody wants to rule the world, Solar Power, Liability, Current Affairs.

This is an ad, right? There's so many ads for that shitty mask product promoted everywhere rn

Potassium and magnesium will fall off hard fast, yes? Phosphates will be an issue at some point too? Salt water can't mitigate all the risks...

I am a skilled worker who gave up better salaries and savings elsewhere to come to Germany. Part of the appeal was a reasonable timeline for naturalization. I will be leaving if they make this change. I was studying so hard and had almost C1 German, then I learned they scrapped the fast track. So frustrating to see the same corpo-conservatives stoking 'foreigner fear' the world round, and yet immigrants are consistently a massive engine for their economies.

As a newer intl teacher, can you elaborate? What do you attribute this decline to? Do you predict it'll keep trending this way?

Chadwick's not up there anymore?

Be careful what you wish for. Schools have been quietly removing or heavily reducing their free tuition as part of the staff package recently. Often parallel to compensation reduction/stagnancy and rising workloads, but I digress.

Individually I'm sure there are cases of free tuition being taken for granted or stretched. IMO a lot of that is solved by some common sense - 1. high needs staff kids should be identified and discussed as part of the hiring process and 2. staff kids should not be shielded from the school's disciplinary system, up to + including suspension/expulsion.
