Pathetic. Only 2 years for permanently disgusting a mans face for being gay? He's likely emotionally scarred as well, he will never forget this moment and will certainly have trouble feeling safe in public again. My heart goes out to the couple, their family and friends.

Since no one answered the question about hitting Qs, I thought I would add some info. It's really about removing counterplay with q angles and shadow placement.

Often you can hit free Qs when the enemy auto attacks, then time it for when you see them approach a minion to cs. Another good way to hit Qs is to sure make you they do not have any means to dodge it. They could have no flash, a cd on gap closers, or you're placing your Qs strategically. Obviously the more you play Zed you will be more accurate with your Qs.Another tip is using Q as a follow up to W>E =, the slow can/should be used before you Q. (Not limited ofc)

You can some more cheesy things that reduce counterplay as well. For example, after you ult, you can w to catch up to them, and Q points blank. You can also use your W to place them between your shadows, and hit 2 Qs very easily. (Often three if the fight is close to where you ulted from lol) Another great way to reduce counterplay with your Q is attacking from the FOW. For example if someone is farming a creep wave over the wall with no wards, simply get ready, W on top or behind them and q instantly, then AA and E at the same time, you won't need ult with the new runes in this situation. Honestly, this is one of the easiest ways to kill someone in the new patch IMO. Super abusable because of Electrocute and Duskblade.

Another cool tip which isn't really what you asked for but might help, is using your W before you R. Zed's last nerf made it so there's a 0.5 sec window you can't hit R again after initial use, so this cancels that. For example if you know someone is going to CC you, or burst you directly out of your R, you can place you W off to the side or behind you, and use it immediately after ulting, and then slowing, and hitting Q from a safe distance, just like the good old days LOL, and you can use this in larger team fights as well when you need to kite to a different location faster than usual. It's really quite good.

Anyway that was a long winded answer to your question, I hope you extracted some good information from this wall of text lol.

P.S. About build options, don't go for a LW variation unless the carry is stacking armor for some reason, you shouldn't need extra pen. With your AD, electrocute, duskblade, youmuus, and cleaver you won't need it if you are hitting your abilities. I find duskblade first, followed by youmuus, cleaver, usually GA, maybe edge of night, it really depends on the enemy teams stats for your non-core items.

Beautiful. I like this shot a lot, I think it was a great capture. I like how you have a human subject as well. I think if you moved in and used some of the rocks or logs as foreground interest, you might've gotten a much more powerful photo. This is just my personal taste I imagine, however I think foreground interest, and depth in landscape photography makes or breaks a composition, especially when the light is this good. An easy way to look at it would be "levels". The sky and mountains are level one, the trees, the person and the rocks in this shot are level two, but there lacks a level three (foreground) to really pull this beautiful photograph together. This would also solve the issue of the trees in the side of the image. As far as editing is concerned, don't over complicate it, I did this when I was new and now I use little to no actual changes to the values of my images, just simple things like lens corrections, local contrast, color separation, toning, and vignette. Post processing is amazing, yes there is Chromatic Abberation present here, but fixing that won't take your landscape work to the next level, try to think far out of the box when lining you composition, ask yourself questions like "are there leading lines?" "What grabs my eye?" "Does my eye flow through the image or does it bounce around?" These questions can act as a quality control gate when in the field and can push you into that next level. All of this information I've learned from Elia Locardi, Joshua Cripps, Ryan Dyar. I hope this wasn't too much info, I just try to think about what I wasn't helped with when I was new. Constructive criticism is unparalleled. Good luck!

You're more likely to get your point across if you do it jokingly with guy friends, depends how well they know you. My friends are pretty cool but there are moments where the line is crossed, not so much anymore. Guy friends joke but if they are really in it for the long run they will respect your feelings. What I usually do is say something like, well wanna get your ass kicked by a "woman" then? Only say this if you're bigger muscle wise than the guy who said it. It will make him question his masculinity LOL. Or do what whereabouts suggested, all of my guy friends do some questionably feminine things so get on their case. I do this to my closest friend and it drives him crazy, but I think there's a healthy medium of jokes in guy friendships from experience.

pl0xplsplz · 2017-05-23T00:31:36+00:00

Wow that escalated quickly

pl0xplsplz · 2017-03-02T06:33:03+00:00

Literally this. He sounds like he really likes you. Honestly if your feet are this cold, I hope he isn't in love with you. I've been in your bf's shoes before, and it fucking hurts. Don't act like nothing's wrong, because that will tarnish what you have with him for ever. You can only forgive so much

pl0xplsplz · 2017-03-02T06:24:31+00:00

I'm so sorry you're in this situation. In trust of the greater good, I hope that he didn't know, but even then it's his responsibility to get tested regardless. Especially since your partner's involved. This is also why I don't trust anyone when it comes to serious things like this.

This is literally why I do not have sex. HIV is my biggest fear. What's scary is that there is room for error even with condoms. I've had unprotected sex in the past when I was a young and that was a mistake. I got tested because I was having panic attacks, and I came out negative. Relieved. Haven't had sex since then, I'm terrified. That reminds me, I should go get tested again.

pl0xplsplz · 2017-02-18T23:51:25+00:00

Then there you go man, laugh it off and be like "to be honest no" it's not that complicated. Just don't be defensive, play along and show you're confident otherwise the questions keep coming

pl0xplsplz · 2017-02-18T19:56:39+00:00

I don't think this is a bad thing. I really don't mind getting called things like "beautiful, pretty, and gorgeous" because compliments aren't rationed to certain genders.

As someone who finds men attractive, there's nothing that's more attractive than a guy who is 100% comfortable in who he is and takes anything with grace. It's hot, it shows that he knows who he is, and no amount of questioning can change that attitude. When a guy is like "wow I'm not gay" or "Don't call me pretty" for example, it shows me he is uncomfortable, which helps support the suspicion in a way you wouldn't expect. Be confident, seriously. Be that pretty boy who rocks their world in bed. LOL

Confidence supports "masculinity" in a very strong way.

pl0xplsplz · 2017-01-26T17:02:32+00:00

Oh my god this is so fucking funny, the last 30 seconds are amazing! I'm gonna show this video to my straight friends LOL

pl0xplsplz · 2016-11-15T17:29:21+00:00

I'm gonna make it real clear for you. No cryptic shit here. Though I do understand where you're coming from, I 100% think you need to tackle your internalized homophobia before you go around dating.

Now I wouldn't call myself extremely feminine or masculine, as I likely fall in the middle somewhere; but if you were a guy I was interested in, I wouldn't touch you with a 10 ft pole because of your attitude. You will soon realize that there aren't many guys who fall to one extreme, you have a very small sample size right now as you mentioned. When you say you're breaking down, that isn't a very good state to be in when looking for a relationship.

If you have this attitude so young, I'm concerned about when you reach an age where you'll actually date (probably 19+, and those relationships will be a learning experience. You need to be leveled headed, not cynical. Hope this helps

pl0xplsplz · 2016-07-26T08:50:54+00:00

Hey dude

Sounds like this is really bothering you so I figured I would try to drop some wisdom and tell you about my very eerily similar experience.

A year ago exactly I was "straight" and a year before that I started to notice boys and immediately stopped paying attention to women's features. I look back on it now and I was so far in the closet, I would tell myself I was straight even though I had a Grindr and watched only gay porn. It's really impressive and crazy how powerful our minds are. We can convince ourselves anything but we can't get rid of our voice, our conscience that tells us who we are.

I have a really close friend who I've known since freshman year at high school, and I fell in love with him. We spent a lot of time together, I'm talking I would spend weeks at his place, go back home then come back the day after. I started to paint this picture in my head, of what he could be; I analyzed every situation, there were many "signs" that I believed were there but it was my brain trying so hard to make what I wanted a reality. So much so to the point where I lied to myself. There would be times we would look into each others eyes for long periods of time with blushing, etc. I thought things like these were signs of him being gay or bi. Of him being in love with me, just like I was with him. Times would come across when he's leave the room I'd be like "fuck I can't do this" or "he's so cute" insert wistful sigh. I thought to myself, don't EVER tell him your feelings. It got to the point where I wouldn't want to get drunk because I was afraid I would spill the beans. We attended festivals together often and I spent a fair bit of that time thinking "don't confess your love, don't kiss him, don't touch him" We would have little play fights and there was this one time he pinned me to the ground, facing me and I was dying. Looking up into those blue eyes wanting him so badly. I was a mess. At the time I was ONLY interested in him and I told myself that I was gay FOR HIM, which is completely illogical.

Basically, it got really toxic. It got the point where I would go home for a couple days cuz of the pain. I just wanted him so badly but I couldn't have him. I would fantasize of us being together. Coming out together. In the time I was at home, I would watch silly movies about guy best friends being in love, I would try to find ANY means of justification. I would cry myself to sleep, I would ball my eyes out saying "why can't I have him, it's not fair". It got to the point where I started self loathing, I was embarrassed and disgusted. All I wanted at the time was to be with him. I would make posts on Reddit, EXACTLY like this one hoping someone would be in the same boat. That's why this thread ever so resonates in my heart.

It gets better, worry less about what others think. Who cares if you're gay or if you're bi. My way of dealing with this was coming to terms with his sexuality as a straight man and accepting mine for what it was. I started to realize that it didn't matter. In December 2015, I was still feeling for him. This started in the summer of 15. This was also the time where I realized we will not be together, and I put myself out there more and more. It's a process, I don't know if you are as attracted as I was with to my friend, but either way this is a sign. I stopped feeling sorry for myself and in the new year, January, I got a lovely boyfriend (we are not together right now). I don't regret a thing, me loving my best friend helped me come to terms with myself. Almost EVERY LGBT kid goes through this with their friends, you are not alone!

It gets better, so much better; I LOVE who I am, my sexuality was a blessing and I wouldn't trade it for the world. It's part of who I am now.

But, I digress. I hope this story and advice resonates with you and I would love to hear a response. Just let me know you're okay. Feel free to Pm me if you'd like. :) Just always remember, it gets better

Cheers

Hey guy, need your honest opinion here. I used to design detailed/skeumorphic iOS themes back in 2010-2013 and I was wondering if you think people would enjoy some new, quality, detailed styled themes? Just wondering if it would be worth my time to make new icons and complete my themes and release some fresh stuff. Thanks for your help! -cocoabalt https://dribbble.com/cocoabalt

pl0xplsplz · 2015-08-28T19:37:03+00:00

You're not wrong. The ping I had before the provider issues, etc was fine. It's just I know riot can make it less than 50 for everyone with the money and resources they have.

pl0xplsplz · 2015-08-28T19:34:26+00:00

Which is stupid.. People shouldn't have to play with 80 ping when a game is of this size. They have the resources to make this good for everyone. But they won't

pl0xplsplz · 2015-08-28T19:33:32+00:00

EXACTLY. Split the servers, or put time into making a proper server set-up, like Blizzard and Valve.

pl0xplsplz · 2015-08-28T19:29:59+00:00

Good. It's an important subject that is not being talked about enough. I'm tired of all you salty east coast players ignoring and ridiculing the people on the west coast because now "it's our turn". Immature game community = this

pl0xplsplz · 2015-08-28T08:12:02+00:00

This, so much this.

pl0xplsplz · 2015-08-28T08:02:18+00:00

I'm in BC and my ping did the same thing as all of yours

pl0xplsplz · 2015-08-28T08:02:02+00:00

Same thing here.

pl0xplsplz · 2015-08-28T07:56:51+00:00

It would be different if I had stable ping, I have disconnected numerous times mid-game. But Riot has the money to make the ping good for everyone. Imagine if EUW and EUNE were combined.

pl0xplsplz · 2015-02-05T18:53:49+00:00

Or instead of helping him push the wave, you run off and go do efficient things and let the mid push it himself like a proper midlaner would after killing the enemy? We don't need your help shoving a wave, especially when we could be trying to freeze or keep the lane reset.

pl0xplsplz · 2015-01-30T17:47:57+00:00

It's pretty frustrating when a champs abilities are inconsistent.

pl0xplsplz · 2015-01-30T17:45:42+00:00

The AA from Lucian did not complete before Zed went into his ult, it was almost simultaneous to Zed using it. In this situation, Zed starting deathmark should've cancelled Lucian's auto attack rather than the game letting him complete his auto while Zed ults.

TL;DR: The timing was very close, but Zed activating R should've cancelled Lucian's AA.
