watching curry's controller to radiant streams have actually helped me learn how to carry. they're kinda ass but the content is pretty helpful to learn how to set yourself up while not being a useless baiter

smurf content is actually useful

waxsly [#3]That makes no sense bro he could just play controller on radiant and you would still learn i mean it doesn’t really matter anyway but just saying
to be fair, it's a lot harder to for a low elo player to learn from radiant games since they make a lot of midround decisions, make certain plays that rely on assumptions about their teammates and their opponents and how they're supposed to play.
Being self-sufficient is it's own skill, and seeing what's essentially a live tutorial on how to punish the stupid mistakes of gold players does have its learning value whereas you'd never get a chance to demonstrate that in a radiant lobby where those mistakes aren't made

this is pretty much it tbh. also is quite a demonstration about how big the mechanical differences are
ButterflyEffect23 [#2]how you doing broski?
you been grinding smokes?
yuh. tryna hit plat by this week. went from s2 to g1 today
lxolotl [#8]yes its actually more useful than any advice u can get on youtube
most of the advice i've come across for smokes comes down to "don't smoke too shallow!" or "make sure you smoke at the right times" as if that remotely helps any of the other shit you encounter in-game. i one-trick brim and knowing how to fight against golds & disrespecting them has won me so many games

i would recommend not playing brim when u reach higher ranks as if ur not on bind its insanely troll and omen brings way more to the table, but yeah most advice is terrible on youtube

yeah it he has zero reach on his ipad on maps like abyss and pearl
peetherium [#13]yeah it he has zero reach on his ipad on maps like abyss and pearl
main issue is that its not rechargeable smokes and u lose the one ways, also omen flash way too strong while brim just offers u a good postplant if the scenario is right which is not that often

yeah ik those are downsides but the range is what irks me specifically lol. the fact i gotta rotate to smoke the opposite site hurts me. maybe if i play omen it'd be easier but i like brim's ult. give me way more freedom to clutch & get free kills
DDot [#14]I'd rather not have smurfs in my game than have some 'content' that can help me.
i haven't encountered any smurfs from when i started this act from bronze, and if there was i literally don't pay attention. why would i whine about the players on the opposite team when I should be contributing myself

try out astra, ur like a site anchor + post plant util + u have a lot of outplay potential and the ult is amazing also
trust me to get out of low ranks all you need is good mechanics. You will learn the game sense if you watch pro games and playing a lot. Work on mechanics and you will then hard carry games and even if you lose if you drop like 25 and match MVP consistently the your mmr will go higher placing you in higher ranked lobbies which then gives more rr for a win and less for a loss.

Nachtel [#24]what servers do you play on?
NA georgia servers. to be fair that might help me cuz i'm not playing in texas or anything in the middle of the country where ppl might go when multi-queuing

'why would i whine about the players on the opposite team when I should be contributing myself'. If you havent experienced smurfing just dont speak bro. drag your bronze ass to drop 30 against a radiant and contribute then.
