I've climbed pretty reliably to mid-plat blindpicking Taric, largely because he plays similarly to Omniknight in OG (wc3) DotA and I'm an old player who struggles to learn new tricks.

The higher I get, the more often I encounter explicit counterpicks (artillery mages...) that I struggle against. At what point will I have to learn something else to keep climbing? What other picks should I consider given my natural inclination towards counter-engage play?

Looking for a units of measure library with convenient syntax, reliable fixed-point calculations, extensive developer tooling, and no-std/no-alloc support?

https://crates.io/crates/whippyunits now works on stable rust - no more nightly `const_generic_expressions`!

Whippyunits is unique among Rust units of measure libraries - it encodes scale information at the type level, and rescales by log-scale addition followed by lookup-table exponentiation. Additionally, it is scale-explicit - the library will never implicitly rescale a value, so you can track exactly where your numerical costs are - and it uses pure integer math for integer data types (no float conversions). It is also angle-aware; angular units (radians, etc) are first-class dimensions with a special erasure semantics via `into()` to allow them to easily convert to raw scalars where appropriate.

This is mathematically ideal for applied numerics (e.g. scientific computing, robotics controls, finance) - anywhere you might actually care about unexpected truncation or rescale errors, or where dropping safety on angular units might burn you.

Additionally, whippyunits ships with extensive developer tooling, including a language server protocol proxy that intercepts inlay hints and hover info to render the highly-parameterized types (similar to UOM's raw `Quantity` type) in human-readable form:
