Ok. I'm the deranged one coming in with the ever so famously peaceful and evenly balanced approach of "this is just wrong." Have a great day!

Also because I don't want to be like you... here's someone not trying to shill a pathetic coaching service off on us... who will explain to you again what I have said and why the data used in that terrible video is wrong: https://youtu.be/udLmGfy3eD0?t=270

posted 1 month ago

First, you don't try to give evidence in the form of 18 minute video where you don't point to where you want me to watch to get your point.

Second, what I think you're trying to refer to is this : https://youtu.be/FrLtJSpaSLI?t=290 . The video by the way is weirdly labeling data with out providing sources to where the data is coming from. You can't just say it's from "VCT Champs." That is the least useful way to use data to back up your points. You're making a generalization based on things with wild variables. To say that "c0m is more clutch because when he dies first they are more likely to lose 75% of the time" This statement doesn't tell me anything about what side (atk/def) the data is coming from, what map the data is coming from... this data is being presented as evidence but I do not see a correlation. The video then uses a video clip from Jingg to prove this non-traded kill theory?

And then to top this off... this obvious bias piece of trash media... points to Yay as their pinnacle of comparisons? Are you okay? That was a different meta, a very clearly overpowered agent and he was on one of the best teams at the time. Do you not see an issue with that data? Do you not understand that if a team is winning their stats are positively influenced and thus if you're using it as a comparison to a losing team, the stats by definition will be worse. And hopefully you can clearly see the error in judgment there, right? If someone has a bad game... does that mean their ass? I mean the data shows us that X player is better, it must mean their terrible.

It's absolutely insane to me you are so confident in your answer. I'm literally looking at your "evidence" and it's snake oil. Go back to school please. You lack a basic understanding of not only this game but of how to use evidence to back up your arguments.

EG had a very obvious flaw, a missing duelist. If you track their performances before the introduction of Demon1 you would have Jawgemo trying to flex onto Jett. An often overlooked detail that orgs miss is the mentality of the player. They try to attribute player success to "team dynamics" but outside of the feel goodies, it doesn't amount to much. I can be the most willing player in the world but if there is something I don't do naturally, it will always be a struggle for me over someone who embodies the idea.

A natural Jett player is someone who dives first, thinks later. There's a lot more behind this such as team support but truly if you don't have a player who isn't willing to do that even when it's a bad idea, your team will struggle. You see the same behavior from Cyrocell on 100T. It's deceiving when you look at stat lines or highlight plays. But Cyro does not have this mentality. If you put Cyro in Demon1's shoes on EG then you would have the same results they had with BcJ. And once again to emphasize it has nothing to do with their individual skill. Each player, Cyro, BcJ and Demon1 are amazing in their respective talents. But the difference is that Demon1 is willing to dive without regard to himself. No cautious playing. All in.

And as much as I respect Potter, the change was screaming at her. The first introduction of Demon1 you had the equivalent of BcJ but it allowed personalities to flex on to different roles. And they didn't find perfect fits at first. But the fragging potential of Demon1 and it not being tied to an agent opened these possibilities up for Potter. Through some trial and error they found some pieces that fit.

But all of these changes, if we didn't have teams lose in some sequential order, none of this happens. I hope you all realize this. This team could have been a sleeper team for this season or possibly not. The sky really did open up for this team and they just took their opportunity and ascended.

I just found out if you walk away from it and rotate, the enemy falls out of it. They don't die.

Did they just decide to make the worst agent of all time? Nothing about the agent compares to any other on any level whatsoever. No attack, Mid defense... worst ult of the game. Easiest in the world to side-step.

How to tell me you're 12 through ranking a rapper.

posted 1 month ago

That's not how it works. You are not a robot. You have variation in waves when it comes to performance. No one has consistently hits high scores. It's usually a process of sort of what you're talking about. You hit a level, you do worse immediately after, you build and hopefully you hit the next level. But the idea that there is stagnation, is a myth. When it comes to aim training and you have hit some sort of limit and others have far surpassed you, it's a knowledge gap not a skill gap.

So for example, take your favorite aim tracker map. You've probably played it a couple hundred times. Hopefully by the 100th time you've noticed some sort of pattern in the way the bot moves. The only difference between you and the number 1 person is that the number 1 person knows exactly how that bot moves. Doesn't just sorta know or has sort of recognized it. He knows exactly how the bot moves. And only through that knowledge can the person then apply the mechanics. Applying mechanics with no theory is like shooting in the dark. Some people hit the target and a vast majority do not.

Knowing exactly how the bot moves will give you higher scores in your tracker scenario. But that's all it's going to do for you.

So all that to give you this answer. If you play a scenario and your score is in the bottom 50% then you need to go to the first place scenario and compare settings. Does the high score have a different FOV? Is their sensitivity significantly lower or higher than mine?

If the FOV is different, that's easy, change the FOV.

If the sensitivity is different, you can't just jump to sensitivity. You're going to want to build your way up or down.

So that strategy works for tracking.

When it comes to static, FOV is very important. In order to get high levels of improvement in your score, you need to increase the volume of targets you hit with minimal time in between. If a static revolves around small targets, increasing the fov allows for a greater surface area on the edges so there is more space to hit the target and allows you to be a bit sloppier with higher accuracy.

I hope by this point you're starting to understand that there are a lot of levers to pull in order to change the scenario's environment to better suit yourself.

Last point, when you start to get to angelic and the super high end scores, you're going to need to learn to really push yourself to be quicker. And the process is almost like ripping apart your muscle memory to adjust. Then you just try to be consistent with your speed at the higher level and you will slowly creep up.

You have to understand that if you're going for records and not improvement in Valorant, then it is okay to switch sensitivities to achieve higher scores. For example, in order to hit GM in Aimlabs, I had to adjust my sensitivity to a higher sens because to play Valorant I'm on low sens. And if that doesn't work change your FOV or idk... read the voltaic guide.

Biggie understood flow. However the direction of his short career was driven by Diddy who was trying to prove he could make it on his own and didn't need Andre Harrell. The only way to do that was through commercial success. I ultimately blame Diddy for Biggie's death. Diddy has control of the PR and song releases for Bad Boy. When they released "Who Shot Ya?" ... that was it.

2pac was a poet. You're not going to find the same level of popular music. 2pac was notoriously bad at picking beats. This is why when he linked up with Death Row and the talent that was being nurtured there is when he exploded. But 2pac, like big, found the wrong role model.

When you're comparing to the two, you run into the same issues you have when you're comparing Kobe vs. LeBron. The expression of basketball for each player is different. You're not going to stop LeBron if he wants to go to the rim. Just like you're not going to stop Kobe if he's going to the top of the key for the game winner.

Which ever you identify with is likely the person you think is better. If you're more interested in popular music and just want to have a good time, Notorious B.I.G is for you. You can get the same stuff from 2pac but if you want a deeper perspective and possibly the earliest conscious rapper, 2pac is for you.

Also it's not... "Throw him on any initiator" ... it's showing him where his playstyle matches up with the role.

Cryo is an initiator not a duelist. He lacks the killer instinct to dive in at whatever cost. He's calculated. Cryo will continue to have peaks and valleys and it will look like inconsistency. When at the end of the day, what it really is, he's an initiator.

No offense and I mean this in the nicest way because I respect Shahz's career but if his streams are any indication of how he has been practicing or performing in scrims? He's got soooooo lazy. That's the only way I can describe it. Walk clears angles, sprays into smokes with vandals and just a total disregard for positioning... snap out of it. Try.

I'm sorry it happened to you. It won't be your last shot. I think men are taught at a young age through media that we need to find the one. Where we fuck up is that we think finding the one is a mental game. In reality it's an experience game.

If you're a basketball fan or can relate to basketball, what's the quickest way to score after you miss your shot? Use those answers as your milestones to your next girl.

These terms mean nothing. A person who is a hero to one side is a villain to the other and vice versa.

Jedi want order and what they perceive as peace. A Sith could simply argue these are just suppressions of emotion and emotions are what make us beings. In a system of peace, who decides winners and losers? What happens to the losers? In a system with winners and losers, no matter the size of the loss/gain, feelings of discontent will sow. Over time it is very easy to indoctrinate people and allow it to fester. Are these people villains? Indoctrinated people who don't understand what they are fighting? idk... life is complex.

People often fuck up sayings and then use them as gospel. For example, "kills don't matter." This saying started as a reaction to pro players not top fragging in games and catching flack as a bad player. A tradition that continues to this day.

THIS SAYING DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU AND YOUR BRONZE RANK GAMES!

The reason "kills don't matter" is because in pro play you make sacrifices for the betterment of the team. In ranked, everyone is playing for themselves. Stop using this saying, you're just a bad player.

Cryo is not an insane op'er. Cryo is following the footsteps of Hiko. You think Sideshow's evaluation of TenZ was bad, anyone looks at Cryo for more than a match while the observer is swapping between people, you will discover a treasure trove of just mistakes and bad plays.
