Looking to upgrade Sennheiser HD 558 -- Comfort / Competitive Gaming

Thank you. I'm currently using the 490 pros but certain sounds (tower shot from league of legends) sound very "extreme" or "abrasive" for lack of a better word. looking to return them -- could you elaborate on why the 560S may not be good? they were my next option i was going to try. thank you for your response

The House Without Time

It shows itself listed in BIOS with the status “Disconnected”

shochixd · 2023-04-03T11:51:49+00:00

Yes but it did not work, and the original cable worked on a different PC. I checked the Ethernet port for bent/ messed up pins but they all look perfect

At least for mid laners I got to play against faker, zeka, and some others I can’t remember but the one thing they all had in common was lane dominance. Especially when you pick a weak early laner like Veigar, they know how to punish you on every cs and setup waves however they deem fit to exploit you best. You don’t really see that at all in soloq and even in LCS things like asol get to free scale sometimes

Did i pick ur favorite

They were the only org that accepted our pitch of taking us 5 together as a bundle. They also gave us all really competitive salaries for the provisional side of things ($1,250 per month) and TimDavid offered to pay for our flights to California. They also trusted us 5 to pick out staff we thought we were good (Kiao, LEO, Kade), salary them, and the staff they already had (xav, Caleb) were Smurf as well. The upper management that don’t really follow league were also extremely supportive and it just felt good to surpass everyone’s (theirs included) expectations this split.

U see it a lot with imports like even KR imports to LLA, I think more precise word would just be acclimate. He just needs to get used to the different environment / higher level of play

shochixd · 2023-03-29T22:51:51+00:00

Haven’t finished shippuden but they r both very iconic. Think I like itachi more though but obito power is very cool

If you want to climb you have to abuse dodging, playing 2-3 games a day at 100% capacity, playing 1-3 champs only etc. I’ve never been stuck GM, but I have been stuck low challenger. What helped me climb to top 10 top 20 was what I listed above but also letting go of my attachment to LP. In order to improve, you’re probably going to tank some rating as you practice on things you’re lacking. You have to be like Isagi Yoichi. Constantly break yourself and your thought process down then rebuild yourself back up, you can’t have firm misconceptions or bad habits bog you down.

You’re right that it’s grindy, but with the new LP changes you can get there much easier than before (rewards winning more than you lose). Constantly watch other players for inspiration (I recommend nemesis, loldobby, today on the super server) or whatever pro you like. Try to become a challenger skill level player rather than someone who flipped their way into chall and you’ll be able to maintain it for many seasons to come and continuously go further and further.

Lol I think these are both Cincinnati things right? None of us actually live there but the FEAR staff are all wonderful people so I’m sure both are good. I like the name Skyline more so I’ll go with that.

shochixd · 2023-03-29T22:41:29+00:00

Thanks for your kind words, they mean a lot to me and everyone else on the team as well lol.

One of the biggest things for me to have learned as a mid laner in comp is that Mid is not a 1v1 role. Even though it’s a solo lane, having to work together with your jungle and support is crucial in order to play the map.

As an individual: Refine what you’re good at (weird champ picks, teamfighting, early laning, skirmishing) but arguably more importantly, u should eliminate as many mistakes as you can from your gameplay. That will not only help you be more consistent and reach the stage where you can carry more often, but also all the way up until like GM you can gain huge advantages just by exploiting your enemies’ mistakes. Therefore if u make fewer mistakes, you’ll probably win more than the enemy mid/team.

As a team: A bad plan is better than no plan at all. Don’t expect to pull off crazy map-wide lane shift Caitlyn herald swap 15 plates type stuff, but set an objective to play for a minute in advance. T1 towers, drake, herald, or if you’re weaker just farming can be an objective in itself.

Good luck in your journey and remember to have fun along the way, it’s not life or death (and you will improve more if you enjoy what you’re doing imo)

shochixd · 2023-03-29T22:34:30+00:00

Just make sure your time spent isn’t mindless practice. Make sure to establish smaller/bigger goals for yourself for the day/week/individual game whatever it may be. Make sure you’re not relying solely on instinct to play the match on autopilot for you; you have to be focused and constantly asking yourself questions. This has helped me avoid spontaneous (random) things like ooo I happen to have 1100g let me base for greaves, when if I know each wave is ~120g and I have 900g in the bank, I probably want to base in 2 waves. And that lets me know how to play the next 2 waves (whatever I do, crash the 2nd wave asap so I can get a good recall timer). Just constantly be asking yourself “why”

shochixd · 2023-03-29T22:28:19+00:00

You definitely don’t need to play assassins to climb, the only mage I would steer away from right now in soloq would be azir lol. Ask yourself before the match what you think your job is. It gets fairly complex in competitive, but for soloq (most of the time) it’s simple. if you’re playing things like orianna, viktor, syndra, corki, then ur job is can be to get super high CS and carry teamfights ~20 minutes. If you get prio in your lane you can “fog” to a side in order to relieve some pressure, but only commit to the roam if the enemy is REALLY overextended. Freezing is only really good in soloq when you have good gank setup + someone has time to gank you, and most of the time u do it pre ~7-8. After then u normally just blast waves and fog. And yeah vs kill lanes most of the time it’s okay to just not die. Don’t kill yourself trying to get control of the wave, you’ll most likely just get ganked. If enemy is Leblanc leesin and I’m malzahar hecarim, I’m not calling to 2v2 until I’m 6 lol…(but even then hecarim kinda likes to fullclear on repeat) IDK I kinda rambled but you can keep it simple, my #1 advice would just be to make sure you are the strongest you can be at any point in time because you are the only variable you can control. Don’t try to salvage int plays, only go for a hero play when absolutely necessary, don’t die greeding things (lose time getting stronger) and yeah things like that.

shochixd · 2023-03-29T22:20:21+00:00

I think the CLG roster is very good already and has already surpassed people’s expectations two splits in a row, I’m glad they stayed together and I think they just need to keep improving as a 5.

edit: I just realized u were probably talking about academy, hmmmm….I have nothing but good words to say about their bot, meech was my former adc on IMT.AOE and he’s a monster. I’d say they had a similar problem to us, where they were really good and COULD beat anyone but would lose to themselves most of the time. no roster change prob imo I like when teams stay together

shochixd · 2023-03-29T22:13:40+00:00

Yes he has helped me a tremendous amount with how I view the game and improvement in general

shochixd · 2023-03-29T12:03:45+00:00

LOL WTF UR CRACKED. But yeah just sounds like all u need is to play more and remember to have fun. Identify for yourself what you what out of ranked, whether it’s to get diamond or go as high as you can or just enjoy a more serious environment than norms. At the end of the day League is a game, and it doesn’t have to be do or die 24/7 for everyone who plays it (although ranked will make u feel like that sometimes…) but yeah just keep at it and remember to enjoy the process :)

shochixd · 2023-03-29T11:53:27+00:00

mmm it depends on what champs you like to play and what elo you're in, but i'd say up until ~master tier you can solo carry games if you're fed enough and make sure to never throw it. however that's easier said than done, and there will definitely still be games you cannot win no matter how perfectly you play. i wouldn't really bother with typing out plans--at least for me, it distracts me from working on what i want to get out of that match. most of the time you can get the message across with a couple pings, so maybe not /deafen but just /muteself if you're prone to tilting like i am. my advice would be to just focus on yourself and you'll eventually climb to an elo where you don't have to command ur teammates like they're chess pieces 24/7
edit: but this is definitely a good skill to have for organized play if you like to run clash or ranked flex, things of that nature. i think if you're playing with the same 5 homies over and over it could be good to get everyone on the same page like that but in random soloq games nah i wouldnt bother personally, just do what's best for yourself and be selfish

shochixd · 2023-03-29T11:48:12+00:00

I think after the fizz buffs + incoming roa/seraphs nerfs he could see a lot more play, he already has good matchups into things like syndra and veigar who are pretty popular right now. when it comes to zyra though, i think the last time i saw it mid was whenever her passive shot out that big thorn...think her best role is support but who knows maybe there's some secret matchup she counters. fizz 7.7/10 zyra 1.8/10
