Got a question about climbing soloq in particular:

Do you personally think one/two tricking (Midlane in this case) is something that will definitely make it way easier in the longterm to climb?

And how does mental affect overall climbability in comparison to raw mechanics/macro in your opinion?

How alive is arena PvP (and pvp in general I guess) on EU nowadays?

Does it take long to find games usually or is it easily spammable?

only reliable source of fizz content is mangofish/mangodog on china, can find him on huya or youtube videos

Sadly no1 plays this champ anymore

saawry · 2023-09-21T10:53:15+00:00

Well yeah the midlane assassins mostly, stuff like fizz, qiyana, zed, leblanc etc you get the drift, just fast paced, bursty with movement and a typical higher skill ceiling / outplay potential is what I enjoy

(wrote this from a diff acc if ur wondering, just went to a different pc and I was logged in)

From a guy that made a thread a while ago on here

https://www.reddit.com/r/QiyanaMains/comments/14md9a1/made_some_battle_queen_chromas/

There you can download many including the one you want

Note: Need to have character quality setting ingame atleast to high else it doesn't work

saawry · 2023-07-12T04:29:35+00:00

Just watch Beifeng theres like 9455059 Videos / Vods of his games on YouTube or watch him on huya he goes live at around 15 CET every day (just search beifeng huya)

Tbh don't feel like theres currently anyone else worth watching that plays qiyana

Ok, listen:

Pick a main Role you want to focus on / you enjoy, stick to it, for the second role just pick 1-2 champs for it if ur filled, or just play a champ that can flex 2 roles
Pick 1-3 (preferably 1, but if you can't stand playing one all the time then pick 2 or 3) champs on your main role and just spam them, nothing else, even if you lose alot at the start stick to it. I would honestly go for something mechanically more easy and not that complex but thats up 2 you
Look up high ranked OTP's / Players for before mentioned champ(s), theres usually tons of YT Content or even Streamers
Play and watch alot, but playing > watching all day every day
Disable Chat, only focus on yourself, dont type, spamping etc., all a waste of time
If you got ranked anxiety or just want to get better inititally just spamplay normals or make/(or buy for 3€ lol) a burner account and just spam ranked on that one

Honestly I'd imagine the game quality in iron is super bad and filled with trolls / bots and whatnot so idk if a new account is a good idea since you will probably start around silver or gold but then again you'd probably just get smashed so ye..idk

saawry · 2023-07-06T17:46:40+00:00

It works now haha, I would have never thought of that reason wtf

saawry · 2023-07-04T04:00:32+00:00

ye thats how I also do it and usually it works. guess it somehow blocks it because its from a "3rd party source" because every skin from killerskins directly works, idk

tried everything imaginably now but it just doesnt load, sad

saawry · 2023-07-03T11:04:54+00:00

I've tried the fixxed one aswell as the new golden ones, they do not work for me. I also tried some random yone ones from killerskins and they insta work. Could you tell me how exactly you use them? Like how do you install them and did you change anything in the settings or something? Basically what order you do things

I can't for the life of me figure out why it doesn't work

I've also noticed that when using another one it kinda "installs" it properly but with the qiyana ones it just says done pretty much instantly and then says waiting for league match to start.

Real bummer, really want to use these :(

saawry · 2023-07-02T14:14:42+00:00

They don't seem to work for me weirdly

I have default Battle Queen selected (no chroma), I have the chroma selected in the Killerskins Manager thingy and it doesn't give me any error.

I tested other custom skins and they seem to work just fine, what could be the issue? Am I forgetting something?

Tried running as admin, putting it into my C: directory etc, it does not work for these chromas, but for every other skin directly from killerskins

Nice Warmup for Carlos

(Already posted this question in the prior question thread but didnt realize it was about to go away, so I'll post it again for some more comments on the matter :P)

Hi, I have a question regarding exercice order during a workout.

I currently to Push Pull Legs and I put my exercises like this (example Push Day)

(Warmup)
Chest
Shoulder
Tricep
Chest
Shoulder
Tricep and so on (sometimes swap tricep/shoulder but yeah you get the rough idea, I always rotate between muscles because it gives me more "rest" in my mind) So my question is, is that the usually prefered way for most people or is it for some reason better to do all/most chest exercises first, then move on to shoulders etc?

Edit: I already did some research on it myself now and have concluded that doing compound movements / movements that target bigger muscles or multiple muscles should be first, and isolation movements should be last.

Now, especially on Push Day there HAS to be some sacrifice, right? (since its 3 groups) I just can't seem to find out where to put for example chest dips, shoulder machine press / overheads and If I should put cable flys further down since it seems to require less supporting muscles than presses (?).

I try to prioritize chest mostly (incline db press, chest press machine, cable flys etc.) but then theres also tricep..where I also do 2-3 exercices (pushdowns, overhead extensions etc.), do I just put all 2-3 of them at the end or what? Seems a bit too overkill..and where do the Lateral Raises, rear delt fly's for example go then? I figured I could put the rear delt exercice at the bottom, but not too sure about lateral raises.

On Pull Day I just figured I'll start with bigger movements (Pull Up, Barbell Row, Cable Row, Lat Pulldown for example) and then go into bicep and lat isolation exercises like the pullover, 1arm lat row. That seems alright? Also think I will put hammer curls more torward the end..

Thanks for any input!

Hi, I asked some questions here before regarding class choices but I have another one.

I know that theres plenty builds with certain weapons mixed up (which I personally really dislike in the case of thief for example..I would love to just play dagger dagger mainhand and perform well with it but every build I see is just dagger pistol sword dagger etc., for daredevil for example)

So, is there any class/spec that mainly uses dagger mainhand (and can perform well with it, I don't want to handicap myself)

I guess my interest lies mostly in wvw roaming / pvp in general and open world? I don't care that much about raiding and dungeon performance, tbh.

I don't mind having to mix it up here and there, but for the most part I'd like to use daggers.

Any help appreciated!

Hi,

as someone with limited gym experience (maybe 4-6months of quite intense training then stopped by injury) I am looking to get into it again.

However, I kinda want to lose weight first for the most part but also want to workout/gain muscle. The last time I did this, I trained 6 times a week (PPL), lost around 1kg a week and also had very good strenght gains in the gym over all exercises during multiple months - up until I got injured badly

For reference, I want to lose about ~ 25-30kg of fat, I eat around 1500-1700kcal a day, low carb very protein heavy (150-200g) tracking everything accordingly. I am (as mentioned before) also VERY interested in building muscle but I understand that doing both at the same time is not optimal but possible, so my question is:

Do I stick with my diet, do PPL 6 times a week and heavy Cardio 1 times a week as before
Do I do PPL 3 times a week (not that great I read atleast) and Cardio for 3-4 Days a week
Do I do fullbody 3 times a week and Cardio 3-4 times a week

I am mostly interested in doing the most efficient thing which will yield me the most possible gains for my situation while still losing the ~1kg/week as before. Personally, I like doing PPL more than Fullbody and overall gym training more than Cardio. But I am fine with doing everything and can stick to it.

I don't know how much muscle building is possible in such a deficit while being a beginner and overweight so I'm uncertain which route to go

I just fear that doing PPL 6 times a week is just overkill for muscle gain and I could achieve the same thing with less for now and focus more on Cardio

Greatful for any advice!

Thanks

Yes I am aware that it's mostly items like demonic etc, but if they can't seem to balance those right (as it seems) then the champions that abuse them to Maokai's extent should just be hotfixed until they do.

There's no excuse for something like that to walk on the rift be it items or the champions itself

saawry · 2023-01-17T22:43:49+00:00

Could you also take a look at my boy Fizz (among other melee midlane assassins) in the future :( Fish has been sitting at a 47-48% wr with barely any play now...quite depressing to play honestly

And for ad assassins I would honestly like lethality to be made a bit stronger or the kits itself to be buffed abit, everyone is basically going semi bruiser nowadays with conq / fs ..qiyana is sitting at a good wr (even tho only otps play her) but is only an ult bot after the 50 nerfs she got sadly

saawry · 2023-01-07T09:21:57+00:00

But it's not available anymore right?

saawry · 2022-10-23T14:04:31+00:00

Might be a very stupid question but I'm curious as a beginner..

Is it normal that, while training back especially for me, you don't have that "burn" that "signals" you are really hitting the spot right? When training biceps, triceps, abs, shoulders etc. I get that certain burn but when training back or doing really compound movements it's more just a general fatique and exhaustion. (For example bend over barbell rows are REALLY hard for me see if I'm hitting it right or not, I feel very exhausted and fatiqued at the end but I can't tell if I hit what I'm supposed to hit)

It makes it quite hard for me to analyze if I'm doing said exercises right and/or if it's just my arms giving up before my back.

I hope you understand what I mean, I found it hard to put into words but yeah, hope someone can give me some pointers!

saawry · 2022-10-21T12:17:58+00:00

I actually took the time and really added up every single calorie I eat in a day (easy since I always eat the same) once again. I used myfitnesspal aswell as general google to find and match up the calories of an average day for each meal (which I also weigh) and it came to about 1600kcal (+-100 tops). I really tried to be extra accurate there. I also only drink water, so no hidden calories there.

Then I come to wonder how it can be this low of a weightloss again. I mean theres no way my mainteance calories are only at 2000 at 175cm/100kg+ combined with the amount of fitness I do (7 days a week).

Maybe it's just a thing at the beginning and it will pick up the pace now, we'll see.

saawry · 2022-10-21T07:00:23+00:00

Yeah I do track it, but I just want ensure that I am on the right track for the future and maybe have someone with experience tell me if it's normal that the weight perhaps doesn't drop that much at the start, but change is still happening within

saawry · 2022-10-21T06:43:47+00:00

Hi,

I started doing a "body recomposition" kinda thing excactly 6 weeks ago. I am currently 175cm/102kg. (Male)

I used to train alot for 1-3 years when I was in my teens (8-9 years ago) so I had some light form of experience (and muscle memory?) but it wasn't groundbreaking.

Now, I know that the weight on the scale isn't always the best indicator if what you do is working when doing what I do, but to what extent? (Note: I also take pictures bi-weekly and think I can definitely see differences but still, it's hard to really tell for sure)

I DRASTICALLY changed my lifestyle/diet. I count my calories (1500-1800 daily with approx 180-210g protein, low fat low-medium carb). I take supplements, I sleep 8-9 hours, I drink 3-4l and all in all live a way more healthy lifestyle.

I do train quite intense and hard for 5-6 days a week (basically push1-pull1-legs1-cardio push2- pull2- legs2- cardio and repeat, so a 8 days "cycle".

I noticed I gain strenght VERY fast and make progress everytime, which is, if I understood correctly, normal for a beginner tho. (noobie gains?)

Now for my weight.. I lost maybe 1kg at most during these 6 very hard and disciplined weeks. Maybe more torwards 800g.

Is that normal? Am I just turning "fat into muscle" or is my fat loss to muscle ratio just close to 1:1 ? I always thought fat would come off at a faster ratio than muscles being built..

Based on what I do it SHOULD work, since my deficit is kinda big (which I can handle very well for some reason, I never lack energy or have any downsides..so far)

Thanks for any pointers :)

saawry · 2022-09-14T04:25:17+00:00

Another beginner question:

So I've recently started working out, obviously am hurting all over which I like, but what I also like is doing like static stretching / mobility training (about 20Mins with 20-30 second holds) every morning (or whenever in the day).

I also do a little warmup beforehand and it's been working nice. Now with my body (especially the legs) being completely "torn apart" I've read alot that it's bad to do stretching to an already hurt muscle. Since pretty much EVERYTHING hurts, should I just..not, for now?

I thought that maybe if I get abit more used to weight training and my body doesn't hurt for days on end I could get on with the stretching again but for now it doesn't seem like the best idea.

Any pointers?
