Deck: Evo Goblin Barrel, Hero Goblins, Evo Dart Goblin, Wall Breakers, Fire Spirit, Ice Spirit, Electro Spirit, Cannon. = 2.0 E.

Hello guys, I was searching for a deck on RoyaleAPI, as usual, and found this deck being played by the pro player "Hypno" on, I think, two of his accounts. I found it really interesting, although it seems pretty hard to play.

I've won a lot of games with it, but also lost a lot. I feel like not having a spell makes it really hard to deal with long-range cards. You basically have to wait for them to come closer, but then you also need the tank or win condition to get in front of something like Firecracker so you can reach it, which can almost mean defeat.

BTW, I love these kinds of cheap cycle decks, but I don't seem to find many. Last year, I reached 15k trophies with a 2.1 Evo Dart Goblin deck, so this one feels pretty similar.

I don't care if it's hard to play—I just want to know if it's actually viable.

As the title says, my friend and I always used to joke about hopping on gear and telling each other stuff we knew about it, but we never actually considered taking anything.

For context, I almost never see his body because we go to different gyms, so I can’t really tell from his progression whether he’s natural or not. But recently we went to the gym together, and in the locker room we started flexing. He was way bigger than I thought.

However, his size isn’t what made me think he might be on gear. These are the things that made me suspicious:

• His traps were relaxed but looked noticeably bigger compared to the rest of his physique.
• He has always been a bit red, but I feel like his skin looks even redder now, maybe?
• His face looks pretty puffy. His body isn’t extremely lean, but it’s way leaner than his face.
• He knows a lot about gear, although that’s hard to judge because I know a bit about it too, and we always used to joke about it.

What would you say? Do you think he might be unnatural?

I can’t just ask him straight-up because, obviously, he’s never said he’s taking anything. He always used to say, “Yeah, I would never hop on. It’s not worth it.”

And if I asked him, he’d probably lie anyway.

Hello, masters of the hardest champion in League :)

I recently started playing Azir, and I want to OTP him. I realized he's such a difficult champion that you really need to dedicate all of your focus to him if you want to keep improving and avoid getting rusty with his mechanics and unique playstyle.

Now, I have a few questions:

1. How do you approach the laning phase, Early, mid, and late game?

I feel like every time I'm playing against a ranged champion, it's a horrible matchup. They either outrange me or deal a ton of damage in a very short trade, while Azir feels like he needs longer fights to really deal damage. Most trades end with them coming out ahead.

On the other hand, in the late game I feel like Azir suddenly starts dealing insane damage. If I land a Q with three soldiers on someone, they can disappear in seconds. Is that just how the champion is supposed to work, or am I playing the early game incorrectly?

2. How good is Azir at getting kills or even pentakills?

I'm not really sure what kind of champion he is. Is he a snowball carry, or is he more of a teamfight-focused DPS champion?

It feels like his abilities have the potential to wipe an entire team if you land a good Emperor's Divide/ R and follow it up properly, but I'm not sure if that's the correct way to think about him.

3. How do you avoid getting pushed in or denied farm?

Like I mentioned before, I really struggle against ranged champions. They constantly pressure me and punish me whenever I try to walk up for CS. Early on, it feels like I either lose a huge chunk of HP for farming or I just have to give up minions. How do experienced Azir players deal with this?

4. Any other tips?

Since I'm completely new to Azir, I probably don't even know what questions I should be asking yet. If you have any advice that helped you when you were learning him, I'd really appreciate hearing it.

Thank you all very much in advance for your help!

Hello, I've searched everywhere for an answer to this, but AIs like Gemini and ChatGPT keep giving me contradictory responses.

One explanation I got was that this is completely normal. According to that explanation, after finishing a diet you can experience a temporary surge in testosterone and libido. Then those levels can drop again during the recovery process before eventually returning to your normal, healthy testosterone levels. In other words, the temporary drop doesn't mean your recovery has stopped. It just means your hormones are still adjusting, and your normal high testosterone levels should return once recovery is complete.

For some context, I've been eating at maintenance, I stopped dieting about 5½ weeks ago. During the first few weeks, my testosterone felt extremely high. I literally felt like a teenager again. I was getting random erections throughout the day, and my libido was much higher than usual.

Now, however, it feels like everything has dropped. My libido is much lower, and I don't even get morning erections anymore, which has me worried.

What confuses me even more is that I copied the AI's explanation, the one saying this temporary surge, followed by a drop, and then a return to normal high testosterone levels is part of recovery, and pasted it into a new chat with the same AI. I asked it to verify whether the information was correct. Surprisingly, it told me that the explanation was wrong, even though it was its own response from an earlier chat.

According to the new answer, testosterone shouldn't fluctuate like that during recovery. Instead, it should simply increase gradually over time without an initial spike, a drop, and then another increase.

Now I don't know what to believe. I don't understand hormones anymore, and it's really frustrating. Has anyone experienced something similar, or does anyone know what the evidence actually says?

Hello Kha'Zix mains,

I started playing Kha'Zix a couple of days ago, so I'm completely new to him. I'm also struggling to get out of Bronze. Do you have any tips for playing Kha'Zix? Maybe some things you wish you had known when you first started playing him? And in general, what's your advice for climbing out of Bronze?

One thing I struggle with is knowing when I should defend a tower.

For example, my mid laner dies, and while I'm doing Raptors, my teammates start spam pinging me with question marks because the enemy mid laner (who is now fed) and their jungler are pushing our mid tower. I feel like they're expecting me to go defend it, even though I know I can't really stop them by myself.

If I go there, the best I can usually do is stay at a safe distance and throw W to clear the wave or poke while trying to protect the tower. But eventually they just dive me under tower and kill me anyway.

If it were up to me, I'd rather just give up the tower, finish my Raptors, and look for farm or plays somewhere else on the map unless another teammate comes to help defend. Is that the correct way to think about it, or should I always try to defend the tower even if I know I can't actually stop them?

Hello Rengar mains,

I'm planning to OTP Rengar because I really like his flashy assassin playstyle where you jump in, get a kill, and get out again.

What tips would you give me? I only listed a few topics below as guidance, but if you have advice about anything else, please share it as well. I can only ask questions that a beginner would think of, so I don't really know what specific Rengar-related questions I should be asking.

Questions:

• When should you look for a gank? Does it depend on your level, your current strength, or does that not matter as much?
• What is the proper way to clear the jungle on Rengar?
• Should I use Oracle Lens before every gank to maintain the surprise factor of my ultimate?

Something else I'm curious about:

• How good is Rengar at getting pentakills? Is he better at it than Kha'Zix?

Thanks in advance for any advice! I'm looking forward to learning the champion.

I’m planning to start using HGH at the age of 20. My main reason is to ensure that I reach the maximum remaining growth of my clavicles, and besides that, it could help me cut down weight while improving skin elasticity to reduce the amount of loose skin I might get. Hopefully, I won’t have any loose skin since I’m still young and I don’t have a lot of weight to lose.

Do you guys have any tips or things I should take care of? I’d especially like advice from people who have experience with this. I’m planning to start with 3 IU to get used to it, then increase to 4 and eventually 5 IU, and maintain 5 IU for a whole year. I don’t want to increase the dose any further because I really don’t want side effects like organ enlargement, diabetes, insulin resistance, or weird growth in my hands, feet, or jaw.

Although, I wouldn’t mind if it somehow gave me a bit more bone mass in the face and made my cheekbones pop more.
