Won’t be as bad. At least there is some positive reception on launch. There was never any love for spectre
river tangle
TRUE
spectre divide has like a million issues. Strinova not so much
I feel like the game will only die if the devs don't listen to the community. LIke if they don't remove the region lock
I feel like people looked forward to this game way more than spectre divide aswell. I only heard about spectre divide after randomly searching up shrouds channel like a week after the game released

I stay catching your messages an hour later
Are you grinding tdm lb?
river tangle
Is flavia good
tldr: yes
Her gun is bad long range both damage wise and because of the recoil. Her Q is really good cause she can escape from situations where other chracters would die. Her ult is broken
So mid/bad gun. Good Q. Really good alt
Also her awakening 2 is really good.
I think Fuschia is better tho

yo whats the best agent to play in strinova which has easy recoil
river tangle
3 easiest recoil agents in order that i've played:
- Michelle
- Fuschia
- Lawine
I've heard Celestia and Meredith have easy recoil aswell
Personally I'd recomend playing Celestia or Fuschia since their abilities are easy to use as a beginner aswell
ionic terrace
yo whats the best agent to play in strinova which has easy recoil
I wouldn't avoid characters just bc of recoil
just use whichever characters you like and get used to it
river tangle
If you just want to pick up and play the game tho
The recoil in this game is hard if you're not used to shooters, or shoooters with a lot of recoil for that matter
royal ravine
I can give some tips since strinova was my first shooter yet i manage to hit masters back on cn servers
Aim can only carry u so far anyways
ionic terrace
yeah sure the recoil is hard if you are rlly bad at games
should just avoid it
ur right
royal ravine
Its a lot more mechanics and knowledge base
And playing with the team
As long as your team knows what they are doing and your aim isnt horrendous
You should be winning most games
wanton widget
Cause you only have to place top 3 out 5 to "win"
Yeah, but that doesn't explain why even people at 4th and 5th spot going 3/18 k/d are also 90%+ winrate
If 3/5 teams get a win, that means 60% winrate should be the avg not 90%+
wanton widget

No 1 duelist to me is still Flavia, her gun is damn nice.

idk yet, gun felt nice
Ye her gun has kinda same dmg as Ming which is high af but more controllabe when full auto
Ming has a big jump in recoil at 5th or 6th shot make it quite hard to dump a mag on ppl
wispy crow
Ye it is better to burst
On paper wise, i think it is hard for Ming to lose 1v1 if having good aim, high af dmg + armor stealing

wispy crow
btw ya all have any tips for playing Flavia? I assume she is more like a harasser that use Q in mid team fight to distract?
wispy crow
I never actually understood how her abilities work
After casting her Q, if she receives damage, she will drop a ward/orb (destroyable) to blind ppl and turn herself into an orb that move fast, not taking damage but can't shoot and is visible to enemies. Then she can cancel the skill (or run out of duration) and pop back to shoot
Ultimate create a zone where ppl inside the zone can't kill her as she will keep turning into orb and respawn within the zone but ppl outside the zone can. Ppl outside the zone can't see her but they will see her if she shoots them

For the 15 levels they have to grind they can't be constantly be making smurfs. The game's MMR system is very strong and you basically get put in the top lobbies after 5 placement games if you're pro CN. I've made 3 accounts and they all ended up in the top lobbies after their placements even though they only place high silver (the hidden MMR is what matches you)
The mm system Strinova uses does have a serious flaw though which can contribute to why you think games are fked
Generally the skill level of the players on each team will vary greatly
But the games should be somewhat balanced
but the way it's designed, 2 players are forced to hypercarry
which is why you end up with what feels like pro cn vs pro cn every game if you're not
CN has the same issue
It's not a playercount issue the MM algo is just bad

Yet it's being talked about especially in other places in regards to Strinova. It can easily be said someone who is GM complete is going to have more mouse control than a gold complete. I'm guessing it's only being brought up due to confidence level or something

ruby mural
A lot of aimers play this game specifically for the gunplay because it rewards recoil control and solid aim
I absolutely would not play this game anymore if they changed it to bullet drop or LG equivalent gameplay
flat ice
yeah maybe i’m not explaining it how i’d like to. it just feels as tho i’m shooting nothing and then big numbers pop up on my screen instead of actually feeling like i’m hitting an enemy and killing them.
that being said i do 1000% like having to use recoil control and using the movement/stringifying to gain advantages in the gunfights.
it’s like the same feeling as if i was playing a melee based game that had super fluid and great looking animations but it felt like i was swinging around a piece of paper. no weight to the weapon and gave no extra sense of immersion.

If anyone is wondering, I'd probably say majority of this playlist is basically just different tasks you can find in VDIM intermediate categories so it's totally okay to do if you have experience in those. I ran through each scenario once as I was curious about it and I say most people would find it okay.
I think basically just working on your benchmark scores and working on your weakest cat is probably the best bet for just improving in general for this game due to all the aim cats being used. I mainly focused on pure tracking + reactive tracking and it's been helping me in game the most.

The actual argument is due to the angle snapping being done in a lot of situations where there is too much velocity and the accuracy is way too high for all those amount of shots being hit.
I think the whole way this was approached was pretty cringe though, like all that was required was just post video clips and a text explanation. All I got that this game is just a boys club at the top ranks, even more so when I was a rank g fplc grinder in cs.
A lot of the top players (That were also in the voice call!) are in this discord so they could also give their opinion on it in this section.

On top of all this useless crap and harassment they couldn't even come to a real conclusion. If 20 people can't catch him in the act he must have some very clever way to cheat or he's just cracked at sniping that's it

The game is one of the best I've played in years, but at the same time has one of the worst ranked match making experience I've ever played. For example, there should be no reason why I am constantly the only neutron on my team with 4 silver ranks (whatever the name is called) versus a whole team of neutrons. Of course, if I don't have a complete breakout game where I completely out skill the whole other team, it's a super quick 0-9 loss. The few times where I'm not the highest rank on my team, it's a 9-0 stomp in our favor so I don't know what's going on with this games team balance. I'm not having a enjoyable time at all this season due to whatever they did to change the team balance in rank

Welp, he got banned. So now we know

maybe I was just biased cuz the other "pros" couldn't come up with proper proofs and made him play gridshot like that would prove anything
now if the devs just focused on matchmaking we'd have a functioning game
cheaters getting banned are always good, but all the drama overshadows how bad the mm system really is
I hope they make smth abt it
lowkey everytime they made a change it just got worse for some reason

At this point I'm expecting it's never going to get fixed if player count keeps going down every week. Not only there are very few people queing ranked, the skill level is all over the place in every single bracket so it really does feel like a coin flip if you got on the team with more experience and skill.

If you make the push to high neutron, you'll get quicker queues due to how often high ranks are queing up. It's crazy seeing high ranks get insta queues while I'm having to wait 20+ minutes for neutron :S

Love the mechanics of the game too, but casual got boring and ranked is terrible since its only demolition, makes it way too tactical for a 3rd person game.
They need respawn modes for this TTK.

Guys what do you think of strinova gun recoil? Like in terms of how difficult it is to control the recoil. From a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most difficult, how much would you guys rate it?
I came from valorant with a little bit of apex legend background so I would say it’s a 5.5

I assume because the steam charts are trending downward and the game is not doing any advertisement. Pair that with probably the worst ranked matchmaking in any game, it's no surprise people are not playing. Majority of people I know that stopped have stated that the awful RANKED matchmaking is the reason they stopped playing. They would get put on teams where their highest rank is two whole brackets bellow the other teams lowest rank. Makes no sense why they use a system like that

Yeah its partially right since the matchmaking is also a huge turn down
additionally the lackluster ranked rewards make it so you dont even have to play ranked to get much
But the marketing has been and still is an issue, the devs are going off of a CN marketing strat that markets via popular streamers
That didn't work out at all, and there's barely any ads or marketing for the game even for a new season

Sad, game is actually really fun, it's refreshing to play a higher TTK fps and actually feel like aim is so much more important compared to like valorant. I didn't expect it to enjoy it that much, I have a potato pc so this game is like a replacement for fragpunk.

i think for learning gamesense and textbook playing, CN superstring and singularity is king. It teaches you tempo and standard plays very well as well as good ming pathing and what you should be doing to contribute
although some players are less tolerant to the high ping than others
I think its harder to learn from global because the general gamesense of the playerbase isn't that good
meanwhile in CN even in electron (which is probably neutron global), they still exhibit textbook plays and textbook ways to play the game

i noticed
on 88
your ming pathing is basically always this for A site
i think you should consider these, too. The green one is wall stick into window - in spite of reiichi wall - and the blue one is too to go highground. Both may get you to take some damage but land you in better more offensive and threatening positions. The red is either for farming damage around the box, or straight up pushign that area hard. With ming orb, people can't fight you there unless its a 2v1 and deathball comps heavily abuse this pathing.
sorry for Essay
with stairs you kind of land at a chokepoint if someone is holding it already and also low ground and rough angle even after you take it
ruby mural
Oh yeah I do that a lot because from when I watch other pov's, that's sorta like the "default" path a lot of people go. But also some of the other pathing, such as red arrow I'm unsure take it in the situation is right with 0 info or a active scan going on. Also I assume that one of the B players are already holding the right hand peek from the side room
haughty karma
if they are holding right hand peek
they usually
explode
not even kidding
its basically an aggressive push that capitalizes on defenders splitting and rotating through catwalk
generally speaking depending on comp sometimes only nobu ends up in that spot or marksmen causing them to die easily
of course it requires good map awareness but it's a good option
you can also just use smoke to take that area and push back into A bank and clear it from behind if you are overwhelmed or back off to site if you judge the push is not even possible

but if my entire team like
veers off downwards to path safely to site then i have no choice but to take window on site or go all the way to backsite highground
i generally try to avoid stairs due to the chokepoint factor
it really depends on tempo and how the map looks to be honest

Is it better to not be afraid and take the space solo with 0 info?
haughty karma
i think generally your gamesense should allow you to glean roughly how many people will be there
and where x y z is
i.e if their flavia likes flanking
or if their mich is the a anchor
or if its nobu
etc
for example if its nobu generally you can try to run him down window
i think the info you get is closer to just knowing what the enemy is most likely to do with their teamcomp and the chars they're playing
lean star
Atp its comms diff or run down someone thats alone yea
haughty karma
for example if they have nobu koko and mich, i expect to encounter koko and mich over at the box area
