Finding Your Space: A Guide to Content Creation

Image by Freepik Creating content is a great way to express oneself. A cold hard fact of the matter is that no one wants to hear what your opinions are over the internet. Content creation is creative expression for people who want to speak up about a topic rather than be heard regarding the matter. It is a thankless job, but someone’s gotta do it.  Content creation is a great hobby (yes, hot take) to explore, because it can lead to learning new things, fuel your passion and possible monetary gain. If you try creating content, just for the money, you may find yourself spent and burnt out, and with no dollar to your name.  This guide is here as an introduction to content creation as a hobby. May it help you figure out if creating content is for you, and some of the basics to the hobby.  Research Knowing what you’re getting into is key to creating content. Like it or not, churning out content is easier said than done. It takes effort and time, because content creation is a c...

The Creative Block and Overcoming it

Image by jannoon028 on Freepik Got nothing? No new ideas for art or writing? Or the Opposite? Got so many ideas you want to cover, but you end up painting yourself into a corner?  Been there, done that. Here I am to help you out of the rut! Distance Yourself When you want to get over a wall, you don’t try to force your way through. The logical thing to do is step back and look for other ways to get around it. same goes for a creative block! It may not be a literal wall, but sometimes you have to take a step back to see a bigger picture. When you keep yourself too focused on a subject, you may end up overthinking and limiting your range of motion. Not everyone can power their way through walls, and distancing yourself from your work can give you more space for new ideas. The space you create through this can help you cool off and rest your potentially overworked mind.  Explore New Things There is nothing wrong with setting things aside when you feel like there is no progress to...

Mobile Legends Hero Guide: Exp Lane Nolan

The new assassin hero is out!! Nolan a quick poke and burst hero. Armed with short cooldown spells, you go in, deal damage, go out and scout out the next kill.  Currently, there are no set builds for him, because everybody is still limit testing him. Moonton has been pushing him to be a jungler, but I believe his kit is better suited for laning.  Why Laning Nolan? In my opinion, Nolan has a pretty slow clear time, relative to the meta junglers this patch. Even with the jungler talent, Nolan’s clear is pretty below average. As an assassin jungler, he has high burst damage, but lacks the mobility other assassins like Ling, Gusion, Lancelot and Harley have. Some also believe he has a dependence on the purple buff, which he needs to chain his spells properly. This is more or less a skill issue, as I believe you can learn to be more efficient in his spell casting, thus maximizing your energy pool. My overall opinion on Nolan’s jungling capabilities is that he is subpar or half-bake...

Mobile Legends Hero Guide: Roaming Arlott

Roaming Arlott is a build I have been working on and been playing in certain matchups and team compositions. Given the nerfs the hero received in several patches now, I personally think that he cannot match the tempo of meta XP laners. I know is sounds like trolling or griefing, but hear me out!! Why does Roaming Arlott Work? Arlott is one of the heroes who can easily transition from early game assassin to late game tank. Having played Arlott is all types of matches, 1 thing I noticed is the damage fall off. No matter how big the early game lead is, Arlott's damage falls off really hard late game, even if you build all damage. By playing him as a roamer, you can utilize his early game damage to play as an assassin sniping kills all over the map, which will give you enough gold to eventually build tanky and having impact during late game. Emblem and Battle Spell I run the Fighter emblem on roam Arlott, because it gives him spell vamp for that increased sustain plus the added damage ...

Mobile Legends 101: Learn How to Support as a Roamer

The role you get when you have to adjust or fill. Playing support or roam is a pretty thankless job. You take the blame when things go wrong and the highlight system in-game doesn’t record your game winning sets. After all the flack they may get in-game, I personally believe that support players are the unsung heroes of every MOBA. They have to be active all throughout the game and they provide the team the needed space and information, which is why they tend to be the main shotcaller in teams. Though, it seems like a lot of work for something you won’t even get commended for, right? Learning the role comes with skills that you can carry over when playing other roles too! Expand your game knowledge, and GIT GUD!! With that being said, here are a few tips to elevate your roaming mechanics!! Understand your hero's role in-game Not all roaming heroes are created equal. You got all kinds of roaming supports, such as tanks, healers and assassins. Each roamer archetype has a certain play...

Surviving Solo Queue, A Guide on How to NOT Tilt In-game

Image by catalyststuff on Freepik Solo Queue, the most toxic place in the whole world. This is where everyone is an idiot except you. Whatever game you play, solo queue is a cesspool of tryhards, casuals, gamerzz and many more animals.  Here is a guide on how to survive and even more so, keep your sanity! DO NOTE! I am a SEA player and I have experienced how toxic the SEA community is and will be basing this off my MOBA experience… So shout out to the Dota 2, LoL and ML:BB community!! Focus on YOU First thing to understand in Solo Queuing is the Solo part. You have to know that the only thing you have control of in the game is yourself. You can only really focus on your game, because you, as an individual, sees the game differently from others. By focusing on your game, not only can you possibly solo carry. You can strengthen your game sense and fundamentals as you become more aware of your game state due to it all being observed by you.  I get it, some mistakes in-game are r...
