Is to watch the enemy team spam ping their jungler as you dominate them.

I have to edit this in because theres one more reason.

Watching the enemy spam ping your character as you dominate them.

So I have this account in silver that has fairly flexible mmr with high LP gains.

But the games i play there aren’t really silver games.

They’re weird games of complete coinflip whether my teammate is diamond on an alt acc or an actual silver player.

If this is some smurfQ stuff that mixes in new accounts - sure I get it.

What I don’t get is that some players in these games have 100+ games in ranked.

If they’re smurfs why are they still at that rank ?

They’re for sure not a regular silver player, they don’t play like it. If you look at match history it reflects it as well - I don’t mean 1v9 every game but more like every game im firstimimg a champ on this acc for fun coinflipping my performance.

How does this work? What are those lobbies of silver players who are really not silver but inspite the fact that they have enough ranked games to get to a rank that would reflect their skill level, they’re still in silver elo ?

Edit: I found this if anyones curious it describes it well https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/s/74ljAtu4PI

Scrubnoob runs relentless hunter cause he must think movement speed is OP - great!

But he also says dont upgrade boots - ok now I am confused.

I wanna understand, can someone help me please?

So Ive started having histamine issues this summer during a heat wave.

Once I started probiotics the symptoms started reducing greatly.

However right now after taking probiotics, I feel super wired. Not anxious to the point of panic attcks, but just very stimulated in my nervous system, as if I had too much caffeine. This passess in a few hours.

I know probiotics can cause anxiety in some people. My concern is whether this is a sign that probiotics are wrong for me, as I dont believe this to be completely true as theyve started alleviating my other symptoms.

I also dont feel anxious, just hyper alert and a bit sped-up.

It starts minutes after I take the probiotics, maybe its something about how I take them? I just take them with a piece of bread (small dose dilluted in watere). So maybe if I had them with a heavier meal?

Any insight into this I will be grateful for.

Thank you

When I have something that spikes a mild histamine reaction I suddenly get relaxed in my nervous system.

I do have very minor itchiness on my skin but nothing substantial. The only thing taht really bothers me is this hunger that I get, its almost like munchies from cannabis. Its quite insatiable really and once I give into it I cant stop eating for a while.

I am confused, because I welcome the calmness and relaxation, but I dont know whether its net positive for my body.

Does anyone have insight into this?

I should add that right now I seem to be in a hyper reactive state (Im starting probiotics and theres a lot of heat so thats likely why), so I react like this to nearly everything I consume whether its high in histamine/liberator or not.

So Ive been drinking sencha and it taste a little bland.

Ive made sure I just drop the leaves into the cup so they have spae to breathe and do 3tsp for 3min.

Last night I had just the leftovers on the bottom of the bag, so I just dropped it all into the cup and left it there for 3-4 minutes, and the taste was completely exquisite. It was wonderfully bitter.

Ive tried replicating it today by increasing brewing time to 4.5minutes but it had almost no effect at all.

Do I just need more leaves? Like 4-5 tsp.?

If you get Wukong in Aram classic, theres a chance you might roll BONK! Augu.

It improves your Q and makes it aoe-ish.

Best part about it are the sound and visual effects

Whoever designed it made it super fun. You can just run around spaming Q Saying "BONK!" Out loud every time it hits (if youre not doing taht youre getting a serious damage debuff).

Super fun!

Hello.

I have Lenovo laptop and sometimes it overheats (when it just sits on my bed cover understandably).

When that happens my laptop starts lagging, especially youtube.

The problem is it keeps lagging even after it cools down, until I restart the laptop.

I have tried optimising settings for performance and it still happens.

How can I fix this please?

Thank you.

Im exaggerating ofc so hold your horses.

But this is the 2nd time this has happened to me, where ryze ulted aggresively after we took baron, and we got wiped.

Literaly donated penta to ASOL LOL.

We still won that game, but oh man, that was something xD.

Its also on me, I shouldnt have taken it.

Hello Junglers, I wanna pick your brains whether what I did was worth it or not.

I invaded enemy jungler lvl 3 on rengar, skirmish broke out, our midlane got a double, I lived with 50 or so hp.

I went to kill the botlane scuttle. Thresh came. I wasted his time, and still did my scuttle, and died to his ignite (if I had given up the scuttle Id live).

I am not losing any tempo on this but thresh is, and his ignite is down. Its just some gold on thresh, and botalne gets to 2V1 in the meantime.

Was that scuttle worth it? Yay or nay.

Thank you.

Feels really OP.

Thoughts?

Edit: so this post has unfortunately gone viral which means it attracted far too many people who don’t have enough information on the topic and are now trying to ‘own me’ in the comments. So let me make some things clear:

1. EOMM is not the reason one is hard stuck.
2. You can still easily climb in an EOMM system - provided it likely requires more discipline
3. The problem is that the game quality is awful, and games feel extremely onesided. And said onesidedness will remain likely the same in all of your ranks, that’s why there’s no end to it.

Disclaimer: If you believe that EOMM in League isn't real then click away. I have no quarrel with you, you're entitled to your opinion. This is not a discussion about the existence of EOMM.

Most League players wanna play and improve, so they can play with and against other players who have improved.

- EOMM doesn't stop improvement - you can still learn and grow as a player just as much as you would on a regular matchmaking system.

The problem is your imrpovement matters only to THE SYSTEM, which will determine your rank, it doesn't matter in your actual games as much as it should.

This is the fundamental fuckery and that's why EOMM completely destroys the competitive environment.

You do NOT WIN GAMES because you've gotten better. You win games, because you've gotten better, the system registered that, and started giving you streaks of autowins. The system decided when you have improved, not reality.

An EOMM system diverges from reality, and starts manipulating variables beyond your control. It will also do this imperfectly, so your improvement will not be always rewarded by ranking up!

That is the problem. Your individual agency as a player is greatly reduced. Because you're playing for the system, not for the reality of what your games really need.

And the worst part ? - IT WILL NEVER END - there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

'Maybe once I climb to Master the games will get better' - Yes! They will. But the patterns of autowin, autoloss, winstreak, lose streak, hitting a wall, promoting - IT WILL STAY THE SAME.

So what are we improving for? Because you will never get to a point, where most of your games will be fair. That doesn't exist in an EOMM system.

That is why it ultimately HAS to be abolished.

I believe in the future once the gaming industry evolves, there will be laws against this. At least I would hope. Because it destroys the sport of the game completely.

There is no light at the end of the tunnel. It never gets better.

The riot matchmaking algo is so optimized for engagement, that it literally doesn’t care about your rank. It just wants you to spam games.

I know this because I know the types of players I run into in plat and emerald. I watch them play, and all I wanna ask ‘you are you a new player, right?’ - not as an insult, but as a genuine question.

The skill disparity is unbelievable. I get players who are genuine faker on their champ, not just hands but brain too. And then there’s Bob. Bob plays support. Bob runs into 3 people to get a turret plating for himself. Bob doesn’t type, and is a headless chicken wandering the map. Bob is in the same elo as the previously mentioned faker.

Since riot put Bob and faker into the same game - fuck you riot. Genuinely, this disgusting company can go fuck itself.

I tried to give it one more shot - what will the algo
bless me with today - oh, it’s a bunch of Bobs and some fakers too. But they’re in the same game. Go suck a dick. One last shot, and uninstalled.

I will not play with Bob (sorry Bob, it’s nothing personal, it’s not your fault). Trying to justify playing with Bob would be self abuse.

Ps: Bob, you’re aware you don’t belong in this elo right ? Like you know, you ended up here on accident, and eventually you’ll be demoted to oblivion once the algo is done using u up in this elo. Well, farewell Bob.

If you’re still playing this game, good luck. I am sorry that you’re a part of this psychological abusive experiment. It’s not your fault.

Ps2: fuck you Bob, you griefed my games

It is SO GOOD at hooking you in.

I started playing after a 7 month break. I went on a huge winstrak with something like 70% wr, climbed higher than where I ended the last season after about 3 days.

And once the game feels like its got me hooked, here come the inters. Here come the insanely weird teammates. Its so predictable its ridiculous.

Of course you just finished a winstreak, so you will keep playing telling yourself "nono these games are a fluke, I will be back in my winners que".

But when Riot pulls the "Youre gonna lose lever", you will usually start noticing 2 types of teammates that will int you. I dont know if you have noticed this, but these types of inters is what Ive found consitently in my games.

The first one I call the "New player."

This player can habe 100s of games. They usually play support. And they are so clueless about the game, that they might as well be first time ranked. They are the support who is just running around doing nothing, farming the dopamine of procing faelights and telling themselves "Look how useful I am, I just dropped a ward".

Sometimes they legit can be a new player who is somehow matched in your platinum game (ofc riot, theres no way to fix that.. right?!)

The second one is the traditional inter.

Its the midlaner who keeps dying 1v1 or to ganks and doesnt care and just keeps inting and spaming ff. Weve all seen those bastards destroy your games.

If you take a couple days off, You will likely start getting good teammates again, but that will get you addicted, so then bad teammates come again, until you take a break again...

Its ridiculous. Riot thnks so little of its playerbase. Toxic game, toxic company.

Hello Junglers.

Sometimes I have these games where I have 3 winning lanes, everyone is turbo stomping, and theyre being smart about it too - theyre not throwing, theyre pushing their lead in the right way.

And they dont need me as the jungler to do it, it is just this much of a turbostompage.

I always feel kinda useless - now dont get me wrong, I farm my and enemy jgl camps, and I secure basically every objective and get soul by 25ish minutes, and we end the game.

And I dont know whether Im missing something.

Is this what the jungle experience is supposed to be like in games like these?

A *lot of* the times, by the time I arrive to a play, enemy champs are already dead, and I'm just there to push the towers or whatever. It's especially a little weird when I'm playing an engage champ like Wukong.

I don't think I'm really doing something wrong, but it's almost like since all of my team is so hugely accelerated, I can't fully match their tempo.

Does that make sense?

Am I missing something?

I’m looking for some tips into maintaining while still keeping some of the slowcarb foods and rules.

I’m nearly at my goal weight and I don’t wanna get too skinny.

I’m wondering how best to transition to maintenance while still keeping the bloodsugar benefits - because it feels amazing to me, I love how I feel.

What foods do I slowly start adding back?

I’ve already added blueberries but it hasn’t affected my weightloss at all (if anything I’m somehow losing weight faster these days).

How have you guys transitioned while keeping the healthy benefits of the protein and legumes ?

Looking for those who have experience with this.

Thanks!

I’ve had this happen many times.

You post something on here or Facebook, and the dopamine seeking trolls come in. You start getting unsolicited advice, troll comments, disrespectful responses.

The moment you dare to say something, ‘Hey brother, can you fkin not? Thanks!’, here comes the mob of disapproval, and pearl clutching, further pressuring you to be boundary-less. To be okay with everything. To pretend rudeness doesn’t exist.

In real life such boundaries would 99% be seen as okay. But internet often brings out the worst out of people.

The only thing the internet sees as acceptable is complete detachment, claiming ‘you must not care’.

And yet, for the people who are rude, such pressure is never put on them. Unsolicited disrespectful time wasting and mean comments are seen as ‘normal’. Mods will say that they have the right to respond any way they wish, but the one who tries to set a boundary online - oh don’t you dare buddy, you will be smashed.

By the way, if you ever use a less than completely polite tone as a response to someone’s disrespect- you’re done buddy, mods are coming with a warning. The expression of the fact that you are frustrated with someone’s behavior towards you is unacceptable. You must be stoic, detached, anger free, and not human.

The internet wants you to be a soulless, emotionless bot. Perhaps that is why it is filled with them.

Hello, I keep reading about flavonoids and how beneficial they are.

I usually get 200+mg because I drink green tea and Matcha, but the recommendation is 400-600, even up to a 1000 I believe.

Im aware theyre in berries, but you can hardly get to 500+ with just a diet rich in berries and vegetables (I dont like eating that much fruit because of my bloodsugar), you have to do it in a very targeted way.

Id either have to up my green tea intake, or start eating flavonol rich cocoa.

Are flavonoids really all they seem to be made up to be?

Thank you!

edit: Post is supposed to say Flavonoids, not flavonols.
