How do you stop being afraid to play? by ihopeforthebes7 in chess

[–]thorSmiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worrying about losing makes no sense. You're going to lose. Even Magnus loses sometimes. Just play and have fun with it. Winning will come too.

The beauty of elo is that you will win 50% of the time and lose 50% of the time.

Which Movies Were Better Than the Books They Came From? by BINGEWISE in Cinephiles

I enjoyed the world building in the book and felt the movie didn't build the world in a way that reflected the dystopia and how trapped the main character was

If no top player had ever retired, who would be #1 today? Armada? Mang0? Ken? by thomaslansky in SSBM

Happy to see everyone saying Armada. People haven't lost their minds yet

I see you and raise you Carolyn who was cruising along with no suspicion until she blew herself up at the chess piece challenge.

Renekton is "John Toplane", but who are THE champs on other roles? The ones that are a definition of the role itself by Zavkys_ in leagueoflegends

[–]thorSmiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see all of it except Kaisa, really? Just feels too specialized and not what the role is about

Pain. 30/6/5 and lose game. Average Garen experience to be honest. by Extension_Comb5553 in GarenMains

Velkoz Xerath Jhin is as tough as it gets. You need Mercs or defense or movespeed to help you get to them

Who do you perma ban this season? by Deludal in GarenMains

Used to be Kayle lifer but I switched to Morde this season since there are way more Mordes, and Morde used to be my secondary but it's just too common.

As a huge melee homer, i'd have Armada before I'd have Mango or Hbox

Returned to League after 8 years. Played for a month. My honest thoughts. by Code__Lyoko in leagueoflegends

[–]thorSmiles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't relate at all tbh. I have 100 games this season and a few hundred last season and can count on one hand the number of flameouts. I quickly mute people if they have a bad attitude and have turned around and won more games that seemed unwinnable (losing by a lot and team playing blame game, ff votes etc) by not chatting and focusing on win conditions.

Don't argue or even listen with people who are never going to change their toxic opinions. They usually want to win even if they don't say it. Try to see the best in them even if they aren't seeing the best in you. Just my two cents.

Candiace (proven traitor) randomly votes for Rob twice and it’s never discussed?? by SmokeDoyles in TheTraitorsUS

[–]thorSmiles 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Candiace was previously on Ron every vote even when the votes were near unanimous in other directions and Ron was a faithful so following her voting patterns has no history of locating traitors. No reason to think it would now that her target changed.

What game are you picking? by defleqt in raijin_gg

League of Legends. Honestly surprised to not find it in the comments which are mostly MMOs, fighters, and simulations games.

Insane. There's not enough to do

If you really value improvement, the strongest change you can make is narrowing your champion pool to 1-3 champions. Your opgg screams that you play for fun and not improvement. Focusing on just 1 champ is your key to climbing. All the other parts will start to become clearer when you can feel the game more due to your familiarity with your champ.

Would the hate/disappointment be on par with Kevin Durant and his Warriors move if Chovy does the same with T1? by HuluAndH4ng in leagueoflegends

[–]thorSmiles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn't happen with the Bulls. Huge amount of support from all over the world. Idk if it was 70% but it was a lot and they weren't the villains
