I made it to diamond for the first after starting the season in Silver

Hey! I just wanted to thank the people of this subreddit for helping me and VOD reviewing, after starting the season with 8 losses in my placements and an 11 game loss streak I ended up silver II. And then, in the new half season, I decided to give it another shot and ended up all the way in Diamond with a 55% WR. So thanks to anyone who helped me, I think I can officially call myself "pretty decent" at MR. (and yes, I was 99/100 on Plat I before this game :D)

Help me, please help

I think the Deadpool Egypt skin is one of the best skins ever released, so I bought the battle pass and am playing tank pool. I need some explanations. What does knife ult do, I don't understand. What does Deadpool in your area do, is it just an attack speed boost?

What upgrade path should I go? And, finally, does the shield have any special effect or is it just a shield?

His descriptions are written in meta language, I don't understand them, so I ask the wise people of reddit for help, thank you!

What should be done with the Luna teamup?

There's been a lot of talk about how the Luna teamup makes CnDs worse at the game. Luckily, I heard this before I really started playing the season, so I was mega-careful not to do that to the point of almost not using the ability at all.

However, I actually do agree with the problem because new CnDs are gonna develop bad habits with an ability as free as this one, so what should be done?

(Also, just to be clear, I don't mind that season 9.5 didn't change it, let CnD be great for 2 months, it's okay)

Huge problem getting views on tiktok (0-30 since a video that got 60k)

@ endergoose

I know "the word" isn't allowed here, but it sure feels like it happened. To be frank, I didn't believe in it until this. I know people often cope with this, but the content i've been making is consistently good, in my niche and funny. More importantly my views on YT shorts haven't dropped at all.

Basically, a few months ago I made a joke about having intercourse with a minecraft copper stair, absolutely nothing explicit was shown and i self-censored. since that video went semi-viral, I have had 0 for you page views, not very little, literally 0, all of my views are from followers or the search function.

How do I escape this? Do I simply have to wait it out? Should I stop posting?

I haven't received a community guidelines strike, well, I did, but it was 4 years ago and didn't affect views. I also categorically refuse to take the "offending video" down, it has 60K views, is ridiculously funny and is one of my favourite shorts I've made.

Anyway that's all, thanks.

I would attach images but it seems to not let me? I'm really not posting here for self-promotion I just want advice.

I didn't bellieve in Shadowbanning, until... (Any Help?)

So basically I make minecraft sketch videos, I won't link the channel here since this isn't meant to be self-promotion, if you want to see it, comment.
Anyway, I usually get between a few hundred and a few thousand views, sometimes, though veryrarely I sued to get videos with sub 100 views, as you can see, that has changed. I made a video with kind of sexual content, as in, the joke is that I'm having sex with a Minecraft Copper stair (idk man, it's ridiculous) The video went viral and got 58K views, my second most viewed, but, since it was released in April I haven't broken the 30 view barrier. Some of these videos performed great on Youtube, but don't break 30 on TT. I've only had one that bombed on both(another kinda sexual one).
Is there any advice as to what I should do? I don't want to private/delete my second biggest video A) because of the views and like and B) I think it's extremely funny. I also haven't gotten any community guidelines violations since one I got in 2022.

Youtube seems to be doing better though.

Randomly abysmal games, why?

Hello!

So I played two matches today, the first one I went 0-8 as dps who switched to heals because I was told so.

And the other I went 1-6 on tank who switched to Magik and then rage quit hoping my team loses less points.

I am Plat I, yesterday I played and had one rough game but otherwise fine.

In these two games, we weren't getting crushed, it was fairly even, but my teammates thought I was throwing, which I understand because it kinda looked like I was.

My question is why? Like, what happened? It's like I went back to Silver levels of gameplay for absolutely no reason. And I've seen this happen to other people too, like, why?

Idk, just don't understand it.

Edit: I'm not gonna add the VOD because I think there's no point, I was playing in a way that is completely unreflective of my skill level. Not to say I'm secretly GM or whatever, but just that I'm not THAT bad

(VOD request) Hardstuck Plat III-II

IGN: endergoose_YT

Platform: PC

Game codes:

50760928467

50402231470

50267828212

Honestly didn't know which games to select, my profile is public so you can just look at anything.

Today I went on a gnarly losing streak, In the past 3 days I have had 2 matches with throwers and 1 with a cheater who wasn't detected. I am very self-critical of my gameplay and analyse each death to see what I could've done better, I aim train regularly and do everything "correct" to improve, so I'm just at a loss at this point. I will say my mental is weak, I almost never lash out at my team, but I get easily affected when people are being negative. I truly just don't know what else to do.

I did this a month ago and watched some videos and I climbed a grand total of 1 division up until I got hardstuck again. I'm tired of this. My favourite character is cnd but I never get to play support cause everyone instalock dps and supp.

Edit: I actually feel like my CnD gameplay is quite good, above my rank maybe, though not much above. I usually play then as almost a hybrid and try to get picks. But diveslop counters me completely and Idk how to carry as a supp.

Population of the Avatar world as of TLOK - a breakdown.

So I saw this old post that estimated the total world population as of TLOK was about 12 million and in ATLA it was about 7, personally, this seems low. Based on cities I've seen irl, Republic city looks a bit bigger than my hometown Riga and Ba Sing Sei looks a bit wider than Warsaw or Kyiv, but lacking skyscrapers or tall buildings.This would put them at about 1 and 3 million respectively.

We didn't see many other cities in TLOK, but I'll include the ones we got a decent look at. Water tribe cities looked to be quite small in comparison, maybe 100-120 thousand for northern water tribe and 25-50 thousand for southern. And let's add Zaufu, which also looks around 15-20 thousand. The last I'll add is the Fire nation capital and Omashu as seen in ATLA, since we can assume they, at the very least, stayed the same size. Fire nation capital - 10-20 thousand, Omashu - 60-100 thousand.

Assuming, like in the actual 1930s, that the world is around 75%/25% rural and urban. That means that just adding these cities together and multiplying by 4 the absolute minimum number we get is 16.84 million.

This is not even including any other cities/towns since we didn't get a good enough look at them for me to even attempt a guess.

I'm a bit of a nerd for statistics in world building, so I just wanted to put this out there, anyone think this is too high or too low?

I heard some people say the world is a billion people, which seems crazy, but I'll listen to a good enough argument.

How does Magneto's ult work?

Ok I phrased the title that way just so people would look. Anyway I noticed a problem, so I was playing a ranked game as Mag and doing ok, strange portalled in from behind and I had to counter ult a deadpool, I charged up my ult until 67 points(**haha**). A direct hit didn't kill him, in replay i saw it did about 250 damage. So I was confused and looked up the energy conversion rate, but I am now even more confused, it says that the base damage is 100, but increases to 300 at full charge, but then it says that each energy converts at a 3:1 ratio, how is that possible if the max energy is 100? Wouldn't that mean that the max damage would be 400? So is the actual conversion rate 2:1?

I said variety player, but I am probably best at Healing, not sure though. I love CND, my bad winrate with them is that I constantly switch to them in the last second if i think a game is going poorly, or if I think a healer is doing bad, it is a bad habit. I don't play a lot, so I want when I do play to actually be quality gaming that's fun and not just me getting bumped to my ass repeatedly.

I am mostly a solo-queue, but pretty often do duos and trios, too.

I also get very easily affected by toxicity and premature surrendering, though I have, embarassingly at the age of 22, recently figured out how to resist being toxic myself and reduce it in the team, it still happens sometimes and when it does I am worse at the game.

*Also, it so god damn annoying being stuck between two ranks, like, I would not be making this post if I was stuck between Plat III and Plat II.*

Mouse Sens: 2.7

Mouse DPI: 1000

Body: I used to play on super high sens (like 17) and the immediate second I lowered it (originally to 3.3, now to 2.7) I noticed my aim improve for all characters, except specifically two things, my cnd veil and my magik dash have gotten worse or stayed level with before, I'm wondering if there's any tips on this specific thing.

I am gold btw, currently gold II but i switch between the three like it's no one's business.

EDIT: I hope this doesn't count as a simple question, since I'm asking about two very specific abilities.
