[acoustic plume]

whattttttt

[sonic mulch]

@gleaming bridge

[desert stratus]

i dont know what that is but ill take your word on it and be happy to not know what that is

[true nova]

Hi balise

[gleaming bridge]

HOLY 3 PINGS

[hollow basalt]

balls ice

[steady acorn]

yes very silly

[wooden kestrel]

like i said internet communication is so bad you miscommunicate too easily. why does bfr having poke potential even mean its better? different weapons suit different playstyles very strongly and deagles fit me more, i play what i want and it usualy works

[simple mica]

I think like back in S3-6 there was a terminal attack tutorial

[gleaming bridge]

I heard from someone about like furry-related content getting added to ARC from several sources but i cant verify it

[covert marsh]

Hasnt it always reconnected after glitch? I thought that was intentional

[chilly holly]

six seven

[hollow basalt]

ok if this is true can u tell us why everyone at high level is playing poke and not another playstyle?

[fierce frost]

because poking is the dominant strategy right now since its more powerful hope this helps

[acoustic plume]

what does poking mean

[desert stratus]

it works until it doesnt because playstyles counter one another and poke counters them all unless the pokers make a big mistake on their end

[gleaming bridge]

for some fuckass reason i cant jump to the original message, 1 sec while i scroll for it

[steady acorn]

balise is full of crime

[simple mica]

Let me poke you lil bro

[chilly holly]

Deala a lot and leave

[hollow basalt]

or are u gonna reply with u not playing ranked again now

[granite field]

Because they cant have fun?

[acoustic plume]

please don't

[hollow basalt]

do u like play schrodinger's ranked

[sonic mulch]

The range of connections seem off idk

[simple mica]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-stan-twitter-moon-emoji-ugly-gif-9967174732479680736

[acoustic plume]

gotcha

[desert stratus]

keeping enemies on distances and lot letting them approach

[true nova]

Wish I had an invite

[steady acorn]

why no mod role?

[covert marsh]

Oh like it glitches and regrabs even if you run away?

[sonic mulch]

It regrabs you at a range that you cant initially get lock bolted at

[covert marsh]

Weird

[desert stratus]

or poking at peeks against ars for example and not letting them get hits in while you get hits in with bfr/repeater for instance

[astral fox]

RIP discord gg all

[ancient eagle]

If you empork doing StarCraft shooter, idk should i be worried or glad

[sonic mulch]

Its also bouncing off of certain objects in some scenarios really weird

[gleaming bridge]

dm me your steam profile

[wooden kestrel]

ok but poking is a pretty gamble based strat to hope that your opponent doesnt get in a better spot or move too much while your vbehind yoru cover for half a second, if you aint got walls then you cant pre-aim your poke enough for max potential but its not like anybody playing this game is on a clean client anyway

[hollow basalt]

ok if this is true can u tell us why everyone at high level running poke tho

[fierce frost]

its not its a very safe strat which is why everyone is doing it

[true nova]

https://tenor.com/view/frog-french-kiss-mmmmm-frogge-kiss-gif-22294451

[desert stratus]

thats why you take positions and predict enemy plays lol

[whole ridge]

Its also boring as hell I’ve gotten matches where we just poke at one another for 2-3 mins over nothing

[iron musk]

anybody running into rude players on cashout right now

[hollow basalt]

lol i actually read it i cant believe u called poke (the safest playstyle) a gamble

[desert stratus]

obviously high level players will be aware of potential counter plays

[gleaming bridge]

okay but how do you do it with Rem, ive been dying to know

[gloomy glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/benjammins-red-flags-red-flag-red-flag-meme-dating-meme-gif-15429740692351910002

[desert stratus]

thats what baiting is

[lunar cairn]

"We heavies would've been loved a lot if you lights didn't complain about our RPGs!"
"W-what? You're already loved so much!"

Ik it sounds too valorant and r6s ish, but class banter in matches when theres no shooting would be wild

[hollow basalt]

also you can literally make your own ealls in this game

[desert stratus]

and move cashout to a different spot

[hollow basalt]

there is never a situation where you can poke without a wall you can literally place them wherever you want

[whole ridge]

I think he is referring to when 2 ppl poke at each other from like 60 m away winch if ur a dumbass I guess it’s a gamble or if ur light an they have a one shot r some shit but like it’s pretty risk low

[whole ridge]

EYYY WE ONLY DO RED WHITE AND BLUE HERE RED IS OLD ME

[desert stratus]

a light wont get close to pokers though

[fierce frost]

poking from pagoda is such a gamble btw so dangerous btw

[wooden kestrel]

"everyone" is also false while its the majority there are plenty of off meta picks, CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG but i remember seing ekazo in like the early tgm qualifiers or somthing and hes running goo gun and grav cube ffs

[hollow basalt]

also yeah you can juat drag the cashout out into the open where the other team is FORCED to engage at poking distance or waste time to gamble a counter to poke that might not work anyeay because you can modofy the terrain in this game to suit your needs

[desert stratus]

well they can get close but they will likely die even close

[hollow basalt]

goo gun isnt offmeta tho

[desert stratus]

goo gun is goated

[ember heron]

@covert flax Florp

[chilly holly]

Poke is gamble when gun is not reliable and has high risk for missing it......

[wooden kestrel]

oh so everything but charge and slam is meta according to you, therefore there isnt a meta bc theyre all mostly viable, a meta is when one ore two things dominate not all or the majority

[hollow basalt]

u can make an argument for anti grav cube but once again we have to ask why is it 1 person running it while everyone else is running standard poke sustain loadouts

[desert stratus]

limits movement limits angles limits potential counter plays

[covert flax]

silly music

[fierce frost]

why are you talking about specs when we're talking about guns

[midnight briar]

wtf brah

[hollow basalt]

no ? there is a meta and yes charge is out of it
mesh goo gun winch all meta tgm didnt have mesh because it was 90% winch mesh and charge werent meta then

[ember heron]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1314332001700024463/1457844182507982988/happycat.gif

[hollow basalt]

tgm is also a bad example because they didnt have bfr anyway

[whole ridge]

So 1 I didn’t say they would and 2 a lot of lights weapons are better at cqb (m11 sh1900) 3 it is a good strategy to get close kill one of the pokers then get out as light

[hollow basalt]

so of course poke wasnt as strong since the core of the team didnt have strong poke tools

[desert stratus]

thats the only real thing you can do yeah but its just insanely difficult to play out inreality

[wooden kestrel]

well in that case all but one are meta so its balanced, that is good balance if all are viable

[whole ridge]

You said this to a dagger man wrong at mb @desert stratus

[elfin cape]

I got tired of facing sweats so I played some QC, got immediately met with a full lobby of level 5 cheater/smurfers

[desert stratus]

the finals most definitely doesnt have impeccable balance

[wooden kestrel]

no its just the exeption is heavy specs

[hollow basalt]

in terms of heavy specs sure i agree but this doesnt apply to the entire roster
Turret isnt viable at all
grapple is vastly inferior to dash and cloak is still rarely used
repeater outclasses the rest of m's arsenal
etc

[wooden kestrel]

i literally just said heavy specs are the exception

[desert stratus]

how are you approaching pokers with a dagger? idk it seems insanely difficult tbh

[wooden kestrel]

grapple isnt inferior its just a majorly different playstyle that isnt as engaged

[desert stratus]

you have to pull some crazy rat play for that

[hollow basalt]

ok but idk where this comes from i do agree here
but the reason bfr is better than .50 is still that it has better range and burst damage
a single shot of bfr does 90/98 from further away than a single shot of .50

[whole ridge]

I like to call it a super flank where i go far out of line of sight and stay out of audio range till i strike

[desert stratus]

i tried to do that with medium against 2 repeater pokers and a heavy but it was no bueno on medium sadly

[whole ridge]

It’s also much more punishing then dash and doesn’t fit in with lights current meta

[hollow basalt]

and yes u can hs with .50 for 90 but it requieea u to be closer + harder to pull off than a hs with bfr for 98 due to .50 being less accurate
after the first shot u can get behind cover so effectively u only really have time for 1 shot from either party

[pine sage]

Apple

[wooden kestrel]

omg bro I WASNT TALKING ABOUT META I SAID DIFFERENT PLAYSTYLE NOT A DIFFERENT META

[hollow basalt]

therefore while the ttks for .50 may be better it doesnt matter since bfr can pop in and out of cover and do more damage
from further away too

[desert stratus]

if theres 2 repeaters you just get melted instantly aswell

[pine sage]

Chair

Car

[bleak arch]

Object

[desert stratus]

and if you get a shot in they can just instantly pocket one another

[pine sage]

Chess

[hollow basalt]

the matter has shit ttks but it is better than most of light's arsenal outside of v9s and m11 arguably arn aswell

[pine sage]

Important massege

[hollow basalt]

that is because light has a really good time popping in and out and matter's range is good enough that you can do this very effectively despite its shit ttks

[desert stratus]

metas are a thing for a reason

[pine sage]

Unimportant massege

[desert stratus]

metas are simply more viable than other playstyles

[hollow basalt]

ttks would matter a lot more if we were in a dive or sustain meta but as long as poking is king ttks wont matter much since engagements arent going to be straight 1 on 1 fights

[wooden kestrel]

im the one trying to leave the arguement its pointless af and completely invalid bc of bad perspectives on both sides

[bleak arch]

Massege

[fierce frost]

if a playstyle is off meta it means its less effective bro

[whole ridge]

If you wanna do that delete discord tbh a stupid argument is gonna start up again in t-5🤷

[fierce frost]

just from a casual observation ur not trying to leave the argument

[hollow basalt]

ok but that is irrelevant to the argument
this is like saying "u r right but uhm if u use meta ur a poopy head i win"

[bleak arch]

Casual observer has spoken

[pine sage]

I hate light

[desert stratus]

add ranks to arguments make it competitive

10h arguments for max sr

[pine sage]

absolutely unimportant massege

[hollow basalt]

that is why i can never take people that insult people that are better ghan them seriously

[bleak arch]

Rage bait is -100000rs

common thing in fps games tbh

no one is contesting your right to enjoy the game casually by the way it doesnt mean you have to prove your imaginary point about balance

[bleak arch]

Save it for debate club nobody has to be objectively honest online

[pine sage]

[desert stratus]

if good youre a cheater a basement dweller and a loser + your opinion doesnt matter because "you dont know the casual experience bro"

when that coming up btw??

[edgy lagoon]

Uh 3 days

Knowing swedish employee laws embark probably has a small armed militia for the devs protection

[pine sage]

Hi lol

[hollow basalt]

not just average player average person in general but that is why i hold the ones willing to learn very importantly

[fierce frost]

i wish people would realize that being bad or average is literally okay and no superiority based on other factors real or imaginary has to be established

[pine sage]

[edgy lagoon]

That was a joke mb

[iron musk]

why is everyone being so rude to me in matches right now what did I do one match was some diamand ranked person named superbytes complaining. then some guy yelling at me in spanish

[whole ridge]

I find it funny that every active green role will say this is the worst game then defend it to the death on a random shitpost

[bleak arch]

It's okay up until the point you aren't allowed to have an opinion in a convo because you get rank checked instantly

[desert stratus]

ngl the finals is probably the only good fps game currently

[edgy lagoon]

This is not the worst game because of high guard and cod7

[hollow basalt]

have u seen the guy that was suggesting having 2 separate ranked queues seasons ago
one for employed people the other one for unemployed
his argument was that "employed people cant compete with unemployed people"

[lunar cairn]

good. i need that skin. im a bit weirded out cuz of content draught like sum bro said so im having trouble making sense 💀

[cedar frigate]

lock in

[wooden kestrel]

ok maybe i care more about having fun then winning

[edgy lagoon]

Crazy time to play the finals

[mighty lantern]

WHAT IS UP PARTY PEOPLE

[fierce frost]

ur allowed to have an opinion but youre not entitled to everyone treating it as gospel

[desert stratus]

bo7 is dogshit, bf6 is down the drain, indie shooters dont have anything good

nothing matters anymore

[pine sage]

Speed: eating

[iron musk]

but the people continue to be rude to me so what is up with it

[hollow basalt]

u can care about fun that is fine but if u r arguing balance and someone who knows more about it tells u ur wrong telling them theyre jobless and sociegal leeches is not just wrong but males u come off as mad and juvenile

[lunar cairn]

only other good FPS is Doom. It never goes wrong somehow

halo?????????????????????

[pine sage]

Hmph "red face"

[hollow basalt]

there are people in ruby rn with 2 jobs or a job + studies it has nothing to do with that
some people are just better at some things than others so they need less time to get better that is all it amounts to

[lunar cairn]

still not the kind of game youd trash talk abt.

[edgy lagoon]

Hi

[wooden kestrel]

ultrakill, a little game called polygon ive been playing, tf2 feels like an indie game. and a few too small to mention

[whole ridge]

Online fps is a needed clarification

[lunar cairn]

nvm point taken infinite is garbage

[edgy lagoon]

lol

[desert stratus]

arent the only good halo games insanely old and dead and modern ones just dookie?

[bleak arch]

Better performance= better brains

[desert stratus]

tf2 is dead

[wooden kestrel]

yes

[pine sage]

error code : 67

[lunar cairn]

yeah im living in delusion that one day a good halo will come to my console

[hollow basalt]

i loved infinite's mp tbh but after the seasonal updates it died in europe
noways if u r in europe u cant get a game outside firefight
its part of why i switched to the finals kek

[whole ridge]

I would say tf2(both) is another good fps but those shits be abandoned

[wooden kestrel]

lol, had 50k concurrent yesterday when i checked

[cedar frigate]

haven't had a good one in years

[fierce frost]

i wasnt implying that. rank checking is kinda annoying but everyone is allowed to have opinions it doesnt mean that all of these opinions are equivalent in their reflection of reality

[lunar cairn]

damnnn kinda sad to see such a great franchise nosedive. but asia servers are still intact at least

[desert stratus]

ultrakill seems like a casual fps? not a pvp?

[bleak arch]

Offline fps aren't even comparable. Killing a bot is never gonna feel that good

[cedar frigate]

its made for speedrunners

[bleak arch]

Man fuck Google keyboard

[desert stratus]

idk i dont want to go back to a near 20 year old game tbh

[hollow basalt]

worst part is infinite's mp was actually recovering and then microsoft pulled rhe plug
its always fucking microsoft man

[wooden kestrel]

its not pvp its no multiplayer

[edgy lagoon]

Ultrakill is a speedrunning game

[high pier]

this mail was a sham, i had to fight a team of rubies (i was low plat) 22 hours ago and still have my rs missing from then 🥀

[desert stratus]

oh fair then, still different genre from what i meant

[wooden kestrel]

well i gave two other options and i know of a few hidden gems

[desert stratus]

fps player demands good new mp fps games

[lunar cairn]

always these dum big league companies. microsoft is still tame to ubisoft. u cant imagine the shit they caused to good franchises like ac and rainbow six

[cedar frigate]

hidden gems n its some random game with 129 people on it

[bleak arch]

The hidden gems in question are probably all over indie reddit and twitter

[desert stratus]

or good game but insanely dead and no one plays it

[pine sage]

Golden brown

[edgy lagoon]

Games and target audiences

ARC raiders-sweats and roleplayers
Ultrakill-femboys
The finals-???

[hollow basalt]

i think if u want a shooter that is alive atm and isnt battlefield, cod or a cs-adjacent youre pretty much going to play finals lol

[pine sage]

Texture like sun

[desert stratus]

rest in piss bf4

[bleak arch]

Hidden gems and it's "Zippy the Circle" on the Xbox store for 99¢

[hollow basalt]

or a battle royale or extrac shooter i guess but i dont like those

[desert stratus]

yeah thats how i ended up in the finals tbh

[wooden kestrel]

its a metaphor, just a term, theyre decent games

[desert stratus]

yeah same such an uninteresting genre tbh

[jaunty terrace]

how can i get 2 accounts on this game do i need another steam account

[pine sage]

I think the finals needs battle royale mode it would be crazy

[desert stratus]

fps player demands a good respawn shooter

[hollow basalt]

i tried apex again recently and the mechanics are good but i just hate the battle royale mode man

[golden onyx]

Do you guys think that there should be more of a visible animation on the standard model 1887 skin when you cycle shell, maybe I'm tripping but Im starting to play the model more and there are two types of weapon models, 1. The default 2. The legendary skins which do the little spin cycle animation.

[bleak arch]

Ofc. Just one of the many terms beaten to death by content creators that's all

[amber gate]

yeah see id play the shit out of apex too but br kills it for me as a mode

[bleak arch]

Bronze 4 ain't even that bad

[desert stratus]

apex has insanely cool mechanics

[hollow basalt]

the spin anims make it harder to ads btw
granted you dont need to ads with model but i figure it was worth pointing out

[bleak arch]

You can't even get carried out of bronze it's that tough

[desert stratus]

why cant they just make a good battlefield game i do not understand

[mint ravine]

they should also take out the entire make your own playstyle thing and add already made playstyles

[edgy lagoon]

Yup

[golden onyx]

@hollow basalt ahh ok

[desert stratus]

why do we listen to shitters and ruin games

[pine sage]

Yeah , i was sending masseges for 3 hours and no one responded until i started ragebaiting , i see how it is

[fierce frost]

was this achieved on purpose

[hollow basalt]

cuz that is where the money is

streaming is a hard job man you have to play videogames and talk to people online

[desert stratus]

streaming is probably the hardest way to go big lol

[fierce frost]

the common denominator is where the money is and he has horrible taste

[bleak arch]

Do you have dirt for brains? This is just factually incorrect idiot

[desert stratus]

unless you have like an insane community backing elsewhere

[elfin cape]

Wtf QC is entirely cheaters

[bleak arch]

Talk at them usually

[hollow basalt]

i would say its probably harder if you get into sports or like filmmaking since it is easier to get a viral clip that a small community shares around and gets you big whereas if you hit your peak in sports and you arent big yet then that is it no getting bigger for you
and getting big in filmmaking requires you to sell your soul to hollywood

[desert stratus]

i meant interms of content creation

youtube/tiktok/instagram is significally easier to gain relevancy in

and imo without a communtiy backing you just wont get noticed on streaming sites

[fierce frost]

content creation is hard until you become too big to fail where you can churn out dogshit and still make bank

[hollow basalt]

that is true though most streamers also do those sites aswell
it can be stressful to edit and upload if you do everything yourself for sure

people like asmongols had their unique niches they tapped into until they got so big that they can literally eat kfc and fart on stream and people will watch it

[smoky kestrel]

Sure bro whats ur rank

[desert stratus]

especially for starting up content creators like working full time then needing to have time to for example play and train the games you want to be good at and trying to make content from it whilist maintaining relationships and other hobbies aside its a lot tbh

[edgy lagoon]

Don’t talk about yourself like that

ruby season 5-6-7, 9, with riot shield 😭

this is literally just true

u ruby rn?

[desert stratus]

the nothingburger fps games arent helping for fps creators either

and what about it? was he skinnier? did he not work out then? i dont keep up with that and i dont care to check

[outer cosmos]

Ruby heavy

[edgy lagoon]

Methinks ragebait

[hollow basalt]

i mean he was skinnier but i meant in terms of popularity lol

[desert stratus]

also a hard genre to get into because theres so many insane players

ooo- send in game name, will add you in a sec

[wooden kestrel]

oh ok, i didnt see that, perfect example of how internet talk isnt interactive enough to understand intentions like theres no facial expressions or gestures

he made actual comedy videos and not talking about a thing thats popular and watching youtube videos on stream

???

[smoky kestrel]

Okay well nvm I'm not even playing rn, I just wanted to check ur rank XD

[desert stratus]

yeah the relationship nerf is pretty hard hitting

[green cove]

that's honorful for ya
💀

[desert stratus]

legit havent aimtrained in 3-4 months because ive been too busy

[green cove]

awpp
💀

[smoky kestrel]

I was kinda expecting them to be hard silver with that attitude, turns out they're higher than me

[green cove]

dw
in game is enough

[wooden kestrel]

better to have a life and relationship than a rank and some virtual stats, dont listen to these addicts

[outer cosmos]

I remembered vagina was a thing, and that female affection exist, I let my rank go 😢

[green cove]

man doesn't know honorful
damn

[desert stratus]

idk yes and no

[smoky kestrel]

? wdym

[rapid girder]

Yo

[fierce frost]

hi fella

[green cove]

i have 8 hours on kovaaks

[high pier]

idk man these virtual stats are forever these real women die someday

[desert stratus]

if you want to purely improve raw aim then aimtrainers are significally better and a faster way to improve and learn just aiming

[outer cosmos]

while drunk, pushing ruby heavy with pistols Lol

[rapid girder]

Do you like sounds

[fierce frost]

sure

[wooden kestrel]

yea the game will never die and i, a casual in silver (i rarely play ranked) will totally be remembered and honored for playing the game in years to come

[pine sage]

FINALLY BRO I GOT BANNED FOR 10 MINUTES JUST BECAUSE I SAID A NAME

[green cove]

if you have little time just play
anything will do

[smoky kestrel]

what name?

[pine sage]

THATS UNFAIR BRO

[rich scroll]

bro i was muted for 8 hours

[outer cosmos]

2/3 egirl/and or 200k neutral kills in ranked alone.

[steady acorn]

people just have objectively bad taste in gaming they'd rather play a walking sim like csgo

[rich scroll]

worth it at least im famous

[dusty willow]

That tracks

[desert stratus]

i mean yeah you can have natural good aim and get better at aiming overtime but you are most definitely going to benefit from aimtraining

[outer cosmos]

shush bronze tf?

[pine sage]

Ehat on earth did you say 🥀

[smoky kestrel]

"We are baad hat beeeen" 🎶

[high pier]

hey man everything you do on the internet is saved weather you like it or not

[smoky kestrel]

? wdym bronze, I was just saying we have an lfg channel

[steady acorn]

playing CSGO is so lame. you're lame if you play CSGO over Finals

[green cove]

you're like me
you don't have much free time
you can choose aim train over fame points(rs) or like me
keep kovaaks as a benchmark and focus on my rs

[wooden kestrel]

good point, also why im thinkin about lookin into linux sooner than later

[desert stratus]

yeah i aimtrain for like 30-40 minutes then play for like an hour or something

[amber gate]

dont mind me i am severly mentally ill

[smoky kestrel]

Soon dw, I work 8 hours a week, I can do the rest for u in one week if I want to XD, I'm really hooked on some other games rn tho

[fierce frost]

its pretty groovy

[wooden kestrel]

ok

[fallen quiver]

3x diamond on my team btw. Can we make ranked skill based?

[desert stratus]

or upto an hour if i really want ot lock in on improving something

[rapid girder]

Ok

[pine sage]

Why did they even block this dudes name lol

[green cove]

my hours are total not continuous
💀

[smoky kestrel]

Too many 😎

[desert stratus]

or i aimtrain for a week specifically and then play for a week

[amber gate]

oxymoron

[outer cosmos]

probably havent cracked 150k Lol

[pine sage]

Random word

[somber forge]

towelie sells RS

[rich scroll]

people said worse and never got muted or warned but i did even though it didnt start any political discussion unlike when people do here all the time

[smoky kestrel]

Yknow what I did crack tho

[fallen quiver]

my genuine reaction to the multi season diamond info. Bro couldn't even do the math that 42k>18k+17k

[fierce frost]

aimtraining is taking away time from actually playing the game which is the part i enjoy so i don't do it lol

[smoky kestrel]

[green cove]

nah
soloq in asia this season requires total dedication
new cheaters in asia town every week

[desert stratus]

if you have solid aim already for what game you want and dont need to improve it much further then its fair tbh

[pine sage]

It depends on the blocked words and name

[outer cosmos]

ur dad>

[merry fulcrum]

Are Cheaters usually in the diamond range

[desert stratus]

i actually dont really need to grind out aimtrainers either but its more of a hobby and an interest of mine

[fallen quiver]

I need to buy RS atp. I'm down another 1000 today off 2 solo q matches where I had a 3+ kd on my flex class 🤡

[smoky kestrel]

L Comeback
Unoriginal comeback

[green cove]

diamond to ruby
some bad ones get banned before diamond

[rich scroll]

they also decided to mute me like a day later after i said that

[outer cosmos]

L hasnt cracked 150k, that was a solid 1500 hours ago too Lol

[merry fulcrum]

How can you tell if they’re cheating

[edgy lagoon]

They cheat

[desert stratus]

like gigacracked aimers inreality wont use aim as intensively as they have practiced it for

[pine sage]

But they blocked you for 8 hours already 🥀

[fallen quiver]

if I just solo q 2k matches then I'll hit ruby but I dont really wanna do that lol

[smoky kestrel]

Alright why am I even still entertaining this brainless white role, smh time me out for an hour mods

[rich scroll]

yeah like a day later they muted me for 8 hours they were really late

[high pier]

was at 30.1k rs yesterday and fought a guy that had only ruby badges 9 still havent gotten my rs back after the game said they made it return each day

[merry fulcrum]

I got called a cheater and I play with an elite 2 on Xbox, so I want to know

[outer cosmos]

oml white role! My stats alone out frag you bot, hasnt cracked 150k kills btw

[somber forge]

there's good, there's pro, and then sometimes things just dont line up enough where it sticks out

[smoky kestrel]

also why am I not seeing the member list on the right anymore

[amber gate]

https://tenor.com/view/low-tier-god-ltg-mods-fossilize-this-user-mods-gif-14547219816455503839

[desert stratus]

aimtrainers just train you for very extreme scenarios

[steep raven]

[desert stratus]

like idk some people genuinelly grinded out fushira in viscoses benchmarks its pretty crazy

[sterile gale]

yess i've see an video a player who use cheat

[merry fulcrum]

Like flying around? Or aim bot

[steep raven]

there’s member icon on your top right, enable it

[green cove]

it's easy
hide in some random shit ass place far away from spawn and checking if they're right on your ass or not
or even easier check if every shot was a headshot
which is all very common traits among asia cheaters

[desert stratus]

but no game will ever require that level of aim

[smoky kestrel]

^ty

[desert stratus]

ive only met one cheater in the finals so far

[green cove]

it's easy to know what is good aim
and what's cheating

[pine sage]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-watches-watches-speed-gif-11188016245055018266

[fallen quiver]

sometimes it's nice to just queue up a couple games of solo q mid plat to remember how much further ahead I am :)

my whole ranked experiences are filled with cheaters since s1

[steady nymph]

literally two different games

[pine sage]

What level should i be so i can send media here

[edgy lagoon]

The finals

[desert stratus]

cheating is so blatant you cant mistake it for anything else

[smoky kestrel]

I meet more obvious smurfs than cheaters

[edgy lagoon]

Red.

[amber dome]

1. why the FUCK did it spawn the enem,y palyers BEHIND MY TEAM ON TOP OF THE VAULT WE'RE DEFENDING and

2. This guy got fucking CLOWNED on.

[amber gate]

[green cove]

[amber dome]

Let bow deal +1 more damage per charged shot. IUf CB repeater can 2 shot me I should be able to 2 shot him.

[sweet coral]

THE RS SYSTEM IN THIS GAME IS SO DOG SHJT BRUH

[green cove]

man finally noticed

[smoky kestrel]

oh yeah I was on the side where the switch is at, problem is I didnt see the switch and jumped across somewhere else XD

[desert stratus]

it is

ll i see is your ethernet cable plugged in???? 😭 m i missing context?

💀
especially with the wt warriors that came to ranked this season

[gloomy glacier]

The Finals is rated ESRB T for teen ages 12+

[errant prairie]

No, I have more where that came from lol

[smoky kestrel]

I love her sm shes so adorable, problem is I have no idea what her role in the team is so I just blindly slapped everything thats reccomended on her

[sacred island]

R6 made the bed their lying in. The finals tripped and fell into it

[sterile gale]

that to change the finals xD

[green cove]

mine:

[desert stratus]

i wouldnt even grind further after reaching ruby tbh

[smoky kestrel]

Gotta hold ruby tho

[desert stratus]

unless you really care about leaderboard status

is quick cash or cashout better

[desert stratus]

do you not get ruby goodies for just sniffing it?

[smoky kestrel]

no ruby is the only rank you need to hold

[desert stratus]

lmao insane

way to keep people addicted i guess

[gloomy glacier]

[amber dome]

This man was herded like a god damn sheep LOL

[errant prairie]

47k

[smoky kestrel]

I am D3, and just outside of top 1K

I really misread that

[azure mango]

LOL

[desert stratus]

is it that low?

[steady nymph]

i love you fellow bow main

[amber gate]

average shield user

[errant prairie]

For Diamond 1 in specific yes, unless the person meant something else

[high pier]

totally agree tired little kitty cat. I dont really know it either tbh but i do know that using her arts attack (the numbered key) after another art is inflicted makes em freeze

[azure mango]

why do people use bow bruh it's an interesting weapon that is lowk mid

[amber dome]

https://klipy.com/gifs/megamind-and-i-love-you-random-citizen-2

[desert stratus]

i thought there would be much more grind from dia 4 to 1

[smoky kestrel]

which is good bc my LR wants freeze stacks for her follow up

[steady nymph]

Because its fun

[tidal torrent]

Ngl any team that tries to grief me out & fails. I’m throwing my whole game just to see ur downfall

[sacred island]

I want this move set in the finals so damn bad

[amber dome]

I hope his light is in chat flaming him for that awful fucking grief defib.

[high pier]

i like running her with Gilberta for over world enemies i can just bundle them up and kill em all at once with estella

[gloomy glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/espresso-classy-pinkies-up-sips-tea-sipping-gif-7250101

[desert stratus]

and dia 3 is what 40k then?

[lapis knoll]

Hello everyone. Is there a so-called shadow lobby in the game?
I’ve been playing for quite a long time, but so far I haven’t figured it out.

Either there are a lot of smurfs in the game, or I’m deflated

[smoky kestrel]

I just got Gil today so she litteraly has nothing, I wanna build her for Yvonne later tho, Btw its rumored that next banner we get Tantan

[high pier]

yeah i'll have to skip tangtang i aint got the pulls nor money to pull after going for both laevatain and gilberta 😅

[desert stratus]

so its

[covert dust]

rez the light
leaves
💀
i would just jump off the map for a faster reset

[desert stratus]

20-27k from gold 4 to gold 1, ~28k for plat 4 to ~38k to plat 1?

[smoky kestrel]

Got laev on like 70, got ANOTHER laev at 30 pulls on the Gil banner, and then I got gil in like another, what, 30-? ish pulls I wanna say, 90% f2p btw, all I got was BP and the monthly thing

[errant prairie]

Diamond is 40k

[high pier]

practically the same for me lol, even with money spending i got the bp monthly pass and the 1 dollar sword

[azure mango]

how.

[desert stratus]

whats plat 1

[high pier]

30k-32.5k

[white oriole]

is it just me or does the mythic goo grenade take longer than just the default one

[tepid lance]

Imagine not being able to make a decent ranked system in the duration of 9 seasons, holy fuck this ranked system is trash, get a grip please embark, no wonder people doesnt play this game

[high pier]

what's this one?

[smoky kestrel]

?

[desert stratus]

is it?

[high pier]

website meaning

[errant prairie]

37k

[desert stratus]

oh

[smoky kestrel]

ah, the @-XYZ is at what pitty I got teh chars at, the @0 laev is wrong tho

[high pier]

oh sorry palt 1 no it's 37.5k to 40k

[iron path]

no one gives a shit about ranked.

[desert stratus]

interesting tbh

[tepid lance]

whoever is in charge of ranked, should be fired and not be able to work on ranked systems ever again

[high pier]

lol i got that i was wondering what website shares this data

[desert stratus]

lower ranks are way tighter together interms of rs

[jaunty terrace]

[azure mango]

and why is the ranked system trash?

[smoky kestrel]

https://endfieldtools.dev

[tepid lance]

have you ever played ranked in this game?

[azure mango]

yes, i have

[iron path]

yes i also answer a question with a question

[edgy lagoon]

Casball is back?????

[jaunty terrace]

ur just mad that u go down 4 ranks when u get 8th

[iron path]

no ;c i wish it stayed

[old shell]

i mean most games never make a good ranked system so its technically not that crazy

[somber forge]

what happened @placid oar

[smoky kestrel]

You have lost control

[edgy lagoon]

Yea it’s glitching rn, you can’t select cashball

[desert stratus]

brawlhalla has a good ranking system but its also a 1v1/2v2 platform fighter game so its not rocketscience

[somber forge]

bro we tried to grief yall in but you kept fighting us 😭

[loud trail]

Yep, event with no free rewards

[old shell]

is it still jus pure mmr

[iron path]

heartbreaker pass u buy now ok

[amber dome]

What happened here? Why didn't I get an elim or assist pop up but got the points for an elim???

[desert stratus]

yeah

[high pier]

there we go

[tepid lance]

seeding 5, and i lose 680 rs for 4th, the extensive amount of dumb ruby smurfs in this game is astonishing high, while ruby players gain 60rs for first and lose 15 for loss, like wtf is that shit?

[old shell]

pretty easy with a 1v1 game all you gotta do is have a decent weight system for people higher than ur mmr

[desert stratus]

yeah

[iron path]

u eliminated him that hard

[old shell]

what are u talking about man

[smoky kestrel]

oh shiii bith C1, crazy

[desert stratus]

the weight system in brawlhalla is pretty fair

[tepid lance]

the shittiest ranked system in modern gaming

[crystal swan]

WHO THE FUCK OUT HERE ENDING THEY FIELD

[amber dome]

Dude I was staring at it like "My heavy has a sledge and my other light doesn't have a one-shot possible weapon. What the fuck just happened that I didn't get kill credit?"

[desert stratus]

idk how you would even remake the rs system in the finals

[iron path]

i think you need to come to your senses and realize ranked is so goddamn pointless.

[smoky kestrel]

uuuh. the avg ruby gets obbliterated with like -900 if they mess up

[high pier]

also may have turned my Gilberta to miku ~_~

[loud trail]

I won't buying this shit, I remember the time that they wanted to do no fomo at all, and here we have it

[desert stratus]

you cant really have it any other way

[old shell]

the finals system is harder cause its 8 teams from games of 4

[tepid lance]

guess you dont watch people in ruby stream

[crystal swan]

#the-end-field-chat

[amber dome]

Listen m an I'm trying my best

[old shell]

itd also jus be alot better with a solo q game mode

[tepid lance]

so is any other game mode when you reach emerald 1

[desert stratus]

oh yeah dont rubys get elo griefed by smurf rubies

thats such a goofy way to maintain ruby

[granite field]

you can kill concepts in this game sometimes. happened to me before

[loud trail]

Yep, imagine gathering 8 teams of same level in game that's not that popular

[old shell]

you dont even know how the system works lol if you gain a little amount and if you lose alot and if you gain alot you lose a little. Thats the basis of every mmr system ever and its no different with RS

[desert stratus]

i didnt even think about it

[high pier]

i think i got like 3, 5 stars in this game and none were the one i wanted so i gave up 🥀

guys this is walker

[iron path]

imagine just playing the game

hard i know. everything has to be rewarding. can't pick my nose without getting that gold

[tepid lance]

i can gain 460 rs in first and since i won that game i lose 1770 the next

[old shell]

impossible amount to lose lol

[desert stratus]

yeah but people will grief your games to drop you out of ruby to keep themselves in ruby its kinda buns in that sense ig

[loud trail]

I am not smurf I swear, it is just hard to carry all my solo q games

[iron path]

did it show up on the scoreboard?

[smoky kestrel]

...not even a diamond loses that much

[tepid lance]

i guess you dont play ranked, lost over 1500rs in one round bc i won the game before

[smoky kestrel]

I love how theres like 10 people telling them they're wrong and they still insist they are right

[iron path]

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-principal-skinner-skinner-children-out-of-touch-gif-4463952

[amber dome]

I'm not even sure. I noticed neither ally had more kills and didn't think I did either

[high pier]

guess the miku was too much 🥀

[old shell]

oh its definitely a not great ranked system but its not as bad as people make it out to be imo. I think CODs, and Apex's are worse by a good margin and they are bigger games. They are full MMR with visible ranks that dont matter, with a decent amount of cheaters and full stacking possible

and COD was no placement until this year lol

[edgy lagoon]

Another normal day in the finals

[visual juniper]

gotta be like bronze/silver to lose that much

[desert stratus]

yeah you cant really have it any other way tbh

[smoky kestrel]

oh shit I meant to reply then this idiot came into chat, Yeah I was looking to make my own mods but I gotta have a look at the loader and toolkit first, cuz I did make some mods for genshin a while ago

[desert stratus]

i think lower rank rs gain and loss is pretty fair

[tepid lance]

plat 2

[old shell]

the finals ranked would feel 200% better if 3 stacks werent allowed. But if you do that know you piss off so many people tthey shoulda done from the start

[iron path]

matchmaker saw him dominating cardboards, placed him higher to see if he's the real deal.

turns out he aint.

wake up call imho

[crystal swan]

I didnt get Laev's last pot

[visual juniper]

well then u really cant be losing 1500 lmao

[smoky kestrel]

you 200% do NOT lose that much in one game

[desert stratus]

would be weird if they didnt allow 3stacks in comp

[old shell]

im telling yall hes just saying nonsense no one is loosing 1500 you lose like 800 MAX

[smoky kestrel]

How much €

[crystal swan]

Idk 50 dollars?

[smoky kestrel]

HUUUH

[desert stratus]

you cant really consistenly rank in any team oriented comp fps game

nah all good, been a bit of a pain to do since this is my first time making a mod like for example the transparency on her tail apparently doesnt exist after i changed the hair texture 🥀

[old shell]

impossible for a ranekd system to be decent if you allow stacks with solo q in any real matchmaking. Its why the good ranked modes just dont allow it or make it completely ass. League, Val, OW, Dota Faceit CS

[smoky kestrel]

oh wait you made it?

[high pier]

yeah :3

[smoky kestrel]

Can I shoot you a DM and you could maybe show me how its done in the coming days?

[amber dome]

I quit Genshin so fast because of that. I got Venti, and then 33 more S-tier supports and said "Fuck this game goodbye :)"

[desert stratus]

yeah but its team oriented ranking tbh i dont even touch any comp shooters unless i have a full stack of good players

[high pier]

sure might need to friend me first, i dont remember i how i have it all set up (discord dms wise)

[smoky kestrel]

I still have a C2 klee chilling on that account, and a guaranteed with a pitty thats close to 80 fuck that game

[visual juniper]

playerbase is cooked for ts

[desert stratus]

either i play casuals or play rank in full stack

[iron path]

half those games u mentioned are designed to make u feel like u are better than u actually are

[amber dome]

Cloak 2026 btw

[desert stratus]

talking about ranked someone posted a video soloq into ruby with medium i wanted to watch that brb

[smoky kestrel]

OB bronze sticker is pure aura, Happy I have that too

[old shell]

yea and not saying ur doing anything wrong with this btw. but playing accomodating ranked to full stacks is like half the reason the modes are bad. If you players have points to themselves then a mode needs to prioritize that not having a group of good friendss. Its again why those other games never do it

[crystal swan]

God forbid if my match lasts 1 round 🥀

Literally shadowbanned if I lose my comp games

[visual juniper]

wtf u gotta be up against silvers or smt for ts

[desert stratus]

this is insanely weird for gold

[smoky kestrel]

This RS distribution in gold should be a crime

[dull charm]

It's always the very easy games, that you end up getting LLL 😂

[old shell]

In what way do the games with 8the most rigid ranked modes with the most fair team balancing with the longest tenures with the highest player bases and the best ranked distributions do these games make you feel better than you actually are

[desert stratus]

"tournament difficulty very easy" so ig

[visual juniper]

I win like 200 and lose 400 for dead last

[crystal swan]

"GUYS, I GOT A BRILLIANT IDEA. LET'S GO STEAL ORANGE'S "

[visual juniper]

same ngl

[dull charm]

Nah, "Let's double it, we can afford the 50% loss"

Then team wipes additionally.

3rd place team gets doubled vault.

Surpasses us via kill money.

My last LLL game

[desert stratus]

wait can i finally post images into here

[old shell]

i also think people only ever talk about 1st or 7-8th place poins in this game which make the system look worse but most results arent those two positions

[lethal seal]

Why can’t I find a super cashball match?

[crystal swan]

My placement matches are even worse

[dull charm]

It's mainly because the fact that if you can lose 1000+ points, it feels horrible to only gain a few hundred.

[dull charm]

It was limited time, all gone.

[smoky kestrel]

https://open.spotify.com/track/1PX4kXvzkTHhsl0EIhz49o?si=4b1d4ad8178c4055

I think this was yesterday's daily music post. I just need to put this in here again. this is so good

[old shell]

oh i know but im just saying it happens less than what people say. Like the ranked system only felt horrible for me when I was above 45k and most of the playerbase is never getting th8ere. Up there you are in "very easy" lobbies 80% of the time so you win 200-300 max

[lethal seal]

It’s letting me queue tho that’s weird @dull charm

[desert stratus]

true

[dull charm]

restart your game then

[desert stratus]

you can drop an entire rank from one bad game its pretty bad

[visual juniper]

I only gain as 1st-2nd and 4th place loses a whole wins worth of rs

[desert stratus]

then need like 1 win or 3 second places to make it up again

[gloomy glacier]

shit is so cancer

[hushed gazelle]

Hello everyone, sorry for this but i’d like to be the bearer of bad news everyone

ANNOUNCEMENT

Discord has (unfortunately) unveiled they are soon going to release an update where accounts will be age restricted by default, unless users verify their age via face scan or an ID.

Of course, this is a terrible update, considering not that long ago, Discord had a major data breach, exposing over 70,000 IDs.

Users may be prompted to verify their age IF THEY DO THE FOLLOWING:

-Unblur media flagged by Sensitive Content Filters or attempt to change any of the default Sensitive Content Filters settings

-Turn off Message Requests (enabled by default to help in filtering out unwanted DMs)

-Access age restricted channels and servers

-Speak in a stage channel

-Toggle on age restricted commands settings

This means that some people may be entirely unaffected by this, but this doesn’t mean in any way that them demanding us to verify our age and give away our identities is acceptable.

That’s all for today, thank you. Spread the word, if you’d like.

[desert stratus]

insane

[old shell]

yea its genuinely dog shit when it gets to that point. But most of the playerbase is like around or less than 30k, so they dont have that experience lol

[desert stratus]

average is that high?

[old shell]

iits prob lower tbh i jus said a numberr

[smoky kestrel]

Thank god I am not under 18 🫡

[scenic elbow]

yuck. Who would be dumb enough to trust discord with their IDs

[dull charm]

Discord already has my social security number and tax information so...

[dim panther]

why am i stuck at silver 😢

[dull charm]

This effects 18+ people moreso.

[smoky kestrel]

Same here, should be fine with my paypal no?

[visual juniper]

me too bro

[desert stratus]

i dont think they store ids anymore though

[smoky kestrel]

ah, gg

[visual juniper]

my silver is red tho

[broken viper]

NEED A HEAVY ranked cashout

[proper plover]

does anyone know the player count of the finals rn

[scenic elbow]

who'd be dumb enough to believe that.

[desert stratus]

idk if i gave my id to discord or not tbh

[drowsy crag]

anyone else seeing a rush of newer players or are they only on my team?

[elder moss]

That’s awful

[scenic elbow]

ive had some they are cute. but sometimes older players bully them so I have to protect them.

[visual juniper]

@hasty kayak

[loud trail]

Solo q sucks, always been

[dim panther]

no but fr though what should i do

[drowsy crag]

solo queue makes me want to uninstall lmao

[elder moss]

Guys I’m straight btw

[visual juniper]

find what ur problem is and improve that, 3 stacking could also help since soloq down there is probably ass

[scenic elbow]

play quick play and be happy

[desert stratus]

idk usually any level is pretty bad i had a dude go 0-7 doing 800 damage the entire game and he was like lvl 116

[elder moss]

I hate quick play

[visual juniper]

ive had rubys on my team doing this shit

[devout gazelle]

So basically nothing changes if I told the truth about my age when I signed up

[scenic elbow]

but it is so fun.

[desert stratus]

some people just play to dress up

[smoky kestrel]

ah, welp thx for the insight

[dull charm]

For minors, yes.

[elder moss]

I like unranked better

[robust mesa]

why lmao

[devout gazelle]

[visual juniper]

the matchmaking is god awful(this is like a month ago)

[scenic elbow]

if finals turned into a fashion designer sim many wouldn't notice.

[desert stratus]

like idk man

how is this even possible

[dull charm]

Although depending on what they deem 18+ on images, you might have images people send automatically blurred with the new content filters that you won't be able to unblur until verified 18+

• Content Filters: Discord users will need to be age-assured as adults in order to unblur sensitive content or turn off the setting.
• Age-gated Spaces – Only users who are age-assured as adults will be able to access age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands.
• Message Request Inbox: Direct messages from people a user may not know are routed to a separate inbox by default, and access to modify this setting is limited to age-assured adult users.
• Friend Request Alerts: People will receive warning prompts for friend requests from users they may not know.
• Stage Restrictions: Only age-assured adults may speak on stage in servers.

[visual juniper]

ggs go next

[desert stratus]

13 wins 194 elims lvl 25

[dim panther]

That's a problem

[scenic elbow]

that's quick play. Anything unranked is quick play.

[desert stratus]

wait holy fuck lvl 62 and 859 elims heavens in christ they literally do not play the game

[elder moss]

No

[sacred island]

Move to Root thats what ill be doing they are not getting my id

[iron path]

we're not talking about dota or cs.

just putting that hint out there.

[potent laurel]

Actually its much more fun for me when i solo que than im w a team

[desert stratus]

the que times would be insane otherwise i imagine

[scenic elbow]

yes they do. they play like a couple hours every season without missing a season

[amber dome]

My team was c1 Kaeya, c5 Xiangling, c5 crit fischl carry, and, uh... I think I had a c5 barbara that was on the team? I never got any carries. Only supports. Eventually I got tired of playing the same comp and farming with it for a month that I just quit

My first S-rank after Venti was Jean and I jsut about broke into tears.

[desert stratus]

is leveling that easy?

[mild meteor]

Yeah idk gang this seems like a cope

[scenic elbow]

super easy if you only play once circuits are all out for max xp per minute played

[desert stratus]

im like lvl 29 or something now with 45h

[smoky kestrel]

you can do funni dps with her

[visual juniper]

my alt is almost lvl 100 so yea

[amber dome]

It was a month of the same thing it was so booooriiiing

[gloomy glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/espresso-classy-pinkies-up-sips-tea-sipping-gif-7250101

[smoky kestrel]

Genshit tends to be very boring

[desert stratus]

except i have like idk 3k elims more than that guy at half the level

[edgy lagoon]

I’m like 89 ish with 280

[desert stratus]

wild

[brazen oxide]

WDYM CASHBALL IS ALREADY GONE
WHAT

[desert stratus]

i saw a lot of insane numbers

like idk 1k wins and 30k elims

[scenic elbow]

more you play more of the game time will be spent with really slow xp progress. But the less you play the more quickly level will go up relative to your stats. It is because of the circuits providing xp bonus. Its why you see some low stats have high levels while some really high stats have lower levels than youd expect.

[elfin sky]

280 wins or 280 elims?

Or 280h

[desert stratus]

280h i think

[midnight briar]

Holy recap

[amber dome]

ZZZ kept my interest in the combat but it's starting to get repetitive and timesink-y

[visual juniper]

I probably have more on my alt lmao

[potent laurel]

Will bank it return tho

[desert stratus]

i want to play more of the finals but its hard not to get ragebaited in soloq

[hasty kayak]

WHAT WHY ME

[visual juniper]

dont soloq

[amber dome]

Like why are they asking me to play autochess instead of combat.. Why are they sinking dev time into a tower defense

[scenic elbow]

just play quick play modes and you wont feel rage

[desert stratus]

yeah i dont thats why i cant play it much 😔

[visual juniper]

do it

[hasty kayak]

i found a better duo q btw

[midnight briar]

I think they got 2 devs working on the finals rn tbh

[scenic elbow]

do you think terminal attack will ever come back as a ltm?

[crystal swan]

@chilly holly What is this man's problem

[desert stratus]

even that is ragebait to me because even if i play casual i still get 3 stacks and random andy solo quers in my team

[gloomy glacier]

The US is going to move in on Discord like they did TikTok I SWEEEAR

[elfin cape]

And all they’ve done is give a paid event pass

[visual juniper]

up until ur third is a robot

[desert stratus]

this game is just unplayable soloq tbh

[elfin cape]

Nooo it’ll be banned for 7 hours

[scenic elbow]

TDM and point break I don't encounter many stacks. I do in power shift though. WT isn't too bad soloq.

[desert stratus]

unless you get a heavenly solo que masterminds on your team

[dull charm]

I'm hoping so, Dusty made a mention of it in a dev Q&A

[desert stratus]

i get constant stacks even there idk, i had a 3 man diamond stack in tdm earlier

[chilly holly]

No back / should protect that / dumbass / Hell nah bro why did you died / Why did you died are you ret- quit this game you ret- / why do you guys even playing this game when you guys play like this ret-

[dim panther]

not a chance

[gloomy glacier]

This shit's wild bro

[scenic elbow]

what changes would you make to TA to address complaints people had that led to its removal

[crystal swan]

2-6 as the guy next to him drops 28 people

[desert stratus]

point break i legit played against 8 heavies all with miniguns and rpgs

[amber dome]

2 is generous

[desert stratus]

it was pretty funny i couldnt even be mad at that tbf but it was atroucious cancer

[chilly holly]

Bro probably just being ugly korean

[gloomy glacier]

Bruh idk what Discord is thinking bro 🤦‍♂️

[chilly holly]

That thinking they know everything but not

[hasty kayak]

our third almost soft inted us out by doubling a box

[dull charm]

Utilize the zoning aspect introduced in Point break to slice maps smaller.

Allow a coin-based system that refreshes at half time to allow revives.

Increase the regen caps 100/150/200 accordingly instead of 100/125/150

bo5 instead of bo7

Slightly smaller prep-phase.

That's about it that's needed and it would be perfect for ranked.

[elfin cape]

Don’t play QC somehow everyone in there is using a Smurf account for whatever reason

[crystal swan]

This is the people I carry to victory sometimes, SuddenRock 🥀

[desert stratus]

whats qc

[scenic elbow]

quick cash

[crystal swan]

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IF I GET A NEW PLAYER'S EYES TO LIGHT UP LIKE THIS ITS WORTH IT

[desert stratus]

i love quickcash

[scenic elbow]

think that would make people who like point break like terminal attack too? Point break been my favorite mode this season.

[desert stratus]

i swear its peak

[dull charm]

I think so. Point break would be a better for casuals, but terminal attack would be better for a ranked mode.

[amber dome]

@rugged charm bless u

[gloomy glacier]

And Embark advertises Discord IN THEIR GAME

[scenic elbow]

old quick cash you might have loved it. I wish they'd bring back old quick cash rules sometime.

HOWWWWWW

Well I pressed @ and then typed in your name and

[steep raven]

I miss Drip Soup

[edgy lagoon]

Did they leave?

[scenic elbow]

grapple dagger so you can be as far away from your teammates as possible

[steep raven]

No, he’s still here

Just haven’t seen him since yesterday

[smoky raft]

Did they get banned or something or are they just not stopping by anymore?

[desert stratus]

we hate teamplay here

[edgy lagoon]

Oh ok

[smoky raft]

Hello, dear 💛

[hasty kayak]

hello hello its a good night for ranked

[errant prairie]

Or is it...

[hasty kayak]

maybe but I am genuinely on the tip of my seat seeing if i hit diamond

[errant prairie]

I was gonna SoloQ ranked but at this time it's when the known ximmers get on

[hasty kayak]

facts i might have to wait until tomorrow morning

[errant prairie]

Lisside, Polymath, and others that have been there for seasons

[hasty kayak]

BUT IM RIGHT THERE GUH

[desert stratus]

just wing it cuh

[crystal swan]

Guys is it morally correct to play with your food?

[clear bolt]

dude fr

[errant prairie]

I haven't played much because I haven't felt in the mood

[desert stratus]

you cant lose in gambling you can only give up trust

[clear bolt]

lmao i love it

[hasty kayak]

like i might just take my wins, im up 1k tonight alone

[desert stratus]

i mean if youre gaining you might aswell play til diamond

[hasty kayak]

and it's basically unemployment hours

[errant prairie]

I think I'm gonna risk it

[hasty kayak]

i was duo q'd now i'm not so i'm skeptical

[desert stratus]

fair

[errant prairie]

I have like, 37 days of the season anyway and diamond isn't hard to hit

[hasty kayak]

NOOOOOOO DONT DO IT NOOOOOOOO ITS NOT WORTH IT

[crystal swan]

@graceful tinsel omg non-matter gameplay 🌹

[desert stratus]

just dont get 8th and youre chilling tbh

[hasty kayak]

that's a hard ask coming from me btw

[desert stratus]

but then again theres probs a lot of 3mans ye nah i wouldnt ngl

[errant prairie]

I could try getting ruby again but I don't think my mind can handle it currently

[crystal swan]

Jojo and Dio got nothing on me

[hasty kayak]

guh i don't think i'm ever hitting ruby

[desert stratus]

getting ruby seems like cancer if you need to hold it

[errant prairie]

Definitely less frustrating and miserable than ARC Raiders trials

Uh oh it insta queued

[hasty kayak]

like this amount of games is not sending me to above 40k

[desert stratus]

i need to learn the game a bit more but i think i can hit mid-high plat atleast wtih my trio we are feeling pretty strong in gold 1 rn

[hasty kayak]

the issue is that the cutoff is always rising

[errant prairie]

Ruby usually ends near 52k

[hasty kayak]

god i don't think i could climb another 12k after hitting diamond

[placid garden]

I got a buddy who started playing this game with me recently and he seems to like the game. He asks me to play all the time and stuff but he's VERY new. I can tell he gets frustrated and overwhelmed by the movement and the chaos. He seems willing to learn and I do my best to coach him but I worry I', not doing well enough at helping him. anyone have any tips to help my bro feel less overwhelmed?

[desert stratus]

as in rubys are dropping a lot in rs?

as in a lot of griefing?

[neon cape]

Yeah I'd always rather some guy style on me rather than kill me in a very basic way

[hasty kayak]

the RS cutoff for being ruby rises every day, so you yourself also have to keep winning too to keep ruby

[maiden owl]

Tell him to embrace the chaotic movement. Going with the flow is part of the game.

[manic anchor]

Unassisted controller is kinda peak

[desert stratus]

i thought it would be much higher than 47k tbh

[maiden owl]

https://tenor.com/view/looker-peak-game-peak-aggrocrab-looking-gif-17841365269857828453

[manic anchor]

I swear 😭

[hasty kayak]

this is just the current cutoff, it'll get closer to above 50k soon

[desert stratus]

when did s9 start?

[hasty kayak]

FUCK i knew this was going to happen

[desert stratus]

thats not too bad

[maiden owl]

Having a colorful vocabulary palette is fun

[hasty kayak]

this means im in a mid dia/ruby lobby

[desert stratus]

if you lose i mean

[manic anchor]

I agree wholeheartedly

[errant prairie]

WHY DID YOU QUEUE

[desert stratus]

hes cool like that

[errant prairie]

But hey, at least you're barely losing anything if you do get last place

[crystal swan]

BRO I FUCKING WISH I HAD THESE RS GAINS

[desert stratus]

nah youll get 5-6th surely

yeah just lock in trust

[hasty kayak]

uh idk

[hasty kayak]

i have to beat the fucking avengers to get anything

[desert stratus]

if you get grouped in a duo it might be pog

[maiden owl]

You lied

[dire pollen]

Man, I wish the melees in this game were more viable.

[crystal swan]

Meanwhile I have to kick a bunch of babies to gain any RS

[maiden owl]

They are fun and viable

[dire pollen]

Not really in higher ranks.

[desert stratus]

atleast its not very easy

[crystal swan]

Its okay, that was the game before that one 🥀

God forbid if I lost in the first round

[hasty kayak]

i know you're not complaining abt a +760 win

[dire pollen]

The 2009-style replay text is kinda funny. XD

[crystal swan]

I didnt get to screenshot while it was happening because I was already tilted from seeing the RS gain so I had to use a saved replay to take the screenshot

[dire pollen]

I think they're complaning about the -1K loss. XD

[crystal swan]

🥀

This is the kind of greed the Bible warns you about

[desert stratus]

feels bad for pink and purple

[dull charm]

Plat Intermediate btw

[dire pollen]

I've queued up with the same guy in Ranked 3x in a row. XD I'm not even re-queing right away.

[crystal swan]

I kid you not the 8 games I played this season including my placements were all Seeding 1 or Seeding 2 🥀

[dull charm]

As you get closer to plat, you start to get 6-8

[crystal swan]

Like if I lose a tournament, thats it. It dont matter my teammates are a bunch of glue huffing bots.
