EGGGGG

How is it

[astral dagger]

ye

the area where my setup is

[velvet fern]

nice lil clutch
@astral dagger Robotic Movements

[astral dagger]

is dark af

[static sentinel]

There is always mouse regret

That happens when I buy a new mouse

Suddenly my old mouse feels legendary

[astral dagger]

only thing that annoys me

is sidebuttons

[static sentinel]

Bought a GPW, G305 felt amazing

[astral dagger]

but besides that

great

[static sentinel]

Bought a VPU, GPW felt amazing

Bought a mini, VPU felt amazing

Only after a while you notice the flaws of the mouse

The egg gave me carpal tunnel

[astral dagger]

does the egg make you better

yes.

My mouse and all its gamer gunk

[inland lark]

Im looking at the big mousepad

Wondering when i will move house

and get a bigger table for that

[astral dagger]

btw

monitor arms are op

lightsync is gonna look s ogood

with hien

Model d is just the right size imo

[mortal notch]

i dont want hand aids

so no g203 for me

[inland lark]

mm711 🙂

[astral dagger]

mm710 makes my hand hurt

too small

[inland lark]

i claw it

[astral dagger]

i mean i have to

still hurts

i have to claw my model d

[inland lark]

:DDD

i have small hand

[night radish]

Nothing mini about minidin

[static sentinel]

😳

Seems like slappy knows a detail about mini that we dont

[sly temple]

😋

[tawny heart]

does anyone know how id convert my 35 ads wit hholo into r6->kovaaks?
just need to train my new lower ads

[coarse vale]

GG @tawny heart, you just advanced to level 1 !

[noble belfry]

If you use the calculator in the pins you can find out what sens exactly your holo is then just put that into kovaaks

[tawny heart]

whaaaaat

thanks ❤️

@noble belfry i dont see :?

[frank compass]

calc in pins or 35 / 83.3333 and then multiply that by your hip sens (assuming youre on default multiplier)

[noble belfry]

its at the bottom of the best aimers pin, if you mean you can't see the calculator

[tawny heart]

@frank compass you helped me after all? ;)
thnx daddy

[frank compass]

I mean you asked a stupid question last night

in the wrong channel

and I was bored

🙂

[astral dagger]

how the fuck

are the

"1.8kd" diamonds

going 0 5

in my games

[frank compass]

because ur cursed

and make them play bad

[astral dagger]

guy doesnt even understand

how to drone

https://r6.tracker.network/profile/pc/ReMiX.DZe

@frank compass AHAHAHA

1.8kd on na

1 kd on eu

how shit

[frank compass]

prob morning grinder

or afternoon player

never seen the name in my life

def farms shit servers during non stack time

[astral dagger]

its just

so cringe

[frank compass]

like you

[astral dagger]

ty

[bitter cairn]

What would you say is the most noob friendly operator

[frank compass]

depends on rank

and how much of a noob you are

[solid rampart]

alex I lost 200 more elo from cheaters

back to silver

[frank compass]

I lost 160

and gained none from offline bans

kinda salt

[solid rampart]

@bitter cairn also depends if you are playing solo or with stack

same, I never got plat this season

[frank compass]

i cant believe there are so many dogshit closets in high plat+

like

absolutely INSANE

how bad the playerbase is

actually

I kinda forgot

I know EXACTLY why Im not gaining any elo

because I probably passed my seasonal high from when I lost to the cheaters

[astral dagger]

dudew

plat

is so cancer

its literally

shitters and closets

[sly temple]

unlucky

[lime wyvern]

ty @night radish

[frank compass]

@static sentinel play LDDH Goated

[static sentinel]

Aight

Tracking?

[frank compass]

yes

[static sentinel]

[night radish]

Its aids

Good lucj

Luck

[solid rampart]

na plat is just smurfs

its impossible

p3 is harder than higher bc its shitters and cheaters

I get walled by gods, meanwhile teammates mav barricades

[bitter cairn]

Mixed skill levels?

It’s like 50/50 tbh

[frank compass]

p3 is not hard

what

p3 is full of golds

actually a fucking joke

[bitter cairn]

Different expierences ig

[solid rampart]

@frank compass when I play I drop 10+ kills and still get dumpstered on

maybe im just dogshit

I do also solo, and im trash

so

[granite ivy]

P3 is glorified gold lmao, it’s a shitshow

[frank compass]

yes

[granite ivy]

Worst rank to be stuck fr

[frank compass]

p2 is also partially glorified gold

like low p2

is still glorified gold for the most part

[granite ivy]

Yep, and once you get to high p2 and p1 you have a mixture of smurfs and people that got carried

[frank compass]

mhmmmm

smurfs, decent players, and boosted shitters

not to mention ALL THE CHEATERS

:DDDDDDDDDD

[granite ivy]

Oh and congrats on the master btw

How could I forget about them

[frank compass]

tyty

[granite ivy]

At this point I just afk and watch a video, I’ll get my points back eventually lol

Or do some kvks

If you ain’t grinding kvks in between rounds you aint bout it

[frank compass]

i lost 160 after they started doing offline bans

I assume my season high is higher than when I lost to hackers

which means I get no elo

and the closets are so bad they lose to me

like

how

are you that shit at the game

that you cant even win with hacks

shits fucking pathetic

[granite ivy]

It’s depressing, met a champion wall hacker that couldn’t win a single 1v1 the other day

[coarse vale]

GG @granite ivy, you just advanced to level 10 !

[granite ivy]

Like, how tf can you suck so much

[frank compass]

they have hacks for a reason......

like Me and Remorce talk abt it all the time

a good player with hacks

would literally never die

because they would actually abuse the shit out of the free intel

and know exactly how to make it look like theyre just a good player

[granite ivy]

Seriously, just wall hacks are enough. Literally impossible to die if you can see where the 5 enemies are. The sad part is that some of these dudes aren’t even boosting people and making money, they’re just buying accounts and the cheapest hacks they can find to dick around in ranked

[frank compass]

mhmm

nothing better to do w their time

[solid rampart]

is it bad to have acog 1:1 with holo/reflex

ive never tried it

[astral dagger]

it isnt

recommended

[solid rampart]

why though?

I hear that a lot but no reason why

[static sentinel]

Toost uses it

Enough reason

[solid rampart]

true

[granite ivy]

the massive FOV difference makes the ACOG sens feel way too high, try it out but there's a reason why no one recommends it lol

[frank compass]

1:1 acog is not very fun

[vivid jolt]

Takes a long time to get used to for no real advantage other than having a consistent physical sensitivity.

I only use it because it helped me test sens's. I'm used to it so there's no reason for me to change. I'll never recommend you use 1:1.

[solid rampart]

im not going to

[vivid jolt]

It's kinda fun to play with, though.

Similar to glass pads. Not advantageous, but some good fun to try out just for the sake of it.

[frank compass]

fun

ehhhhhhh

depends on sens

[astral dagger]

it is fun

with stuff around 30+

the massive fov diffrence is why its not recommended, it to fast @solid rampart

[solid rampart]

gotcha

[astral dagger]

aynone

wanna throw some rankeds with me

[granite ivy]

yo why tf does every single gun feel better with laser

it's the biggest placebo ever

[lime wyvern]

smaller crosshair maybe

[granite ivy]

probably, but the difference shouldn't matter if you're preaiming properly

[astral dagger]

I lost like 250 elo from offline bans this seasonb

Had to get diamond back like 5 times

I usually never get rollback

[raw fox]

i play a game with a superior elo system

[frank compass]

honestly

also same mini

actually insane how bad cheaters are that offline rollback hitting me like a truck

[raw fox]

but there was a time in season 1 where all i got were baguette eating viet players since the servers decided to concect me and my mex duo to apac servers

i can say that cus i am viet gang gang sucky sucky fucky fucky wonton hongkong

god that was horrible to type

[solid rampart]

sup gamers

[inland lark]

Theres viet players too?

Ah wait ye i rmb there were some players with some vietnamese name

[solid rampart]

i just won a ranked and im pretty sure i didnt get elo

[lime wyvern]

i just won a ranked and im pretty sure i didnt get elo
@solid rampart it means you lost more elo than you gained from rollback

[solid rampart]

thats so lame

[vivid jolt]

I've never lost so much elo in my life.

I don't remember facing a single cheater, and I always have a full stack of idiot IRLs.

I haven't played in weeks dude... How can you be SO BAD at cheating?

[inland lark]

I guess they just dont want to make cheating obvious

So they just act that they suck or smth

But irony

Do you guys use a different sens for tracking?

Im using same sens for click scen and some tracking scen like thin gauntlet and pasu track
But for pgti i go for a higher sens

[noble belfry]

Low sens can also work for PGTI depending on how low your normal sens is

Pretty sure Daan got his highscores on like 40-45+

[normal bloom]

also for thin gauntlet ins used like 55cm

[noble belfry]

Though to be fair thin gauntlet is easier on low sens

[coarse vale]

GG @noble belfry, you just advanced to level 24 !

[noble belfry]

I think Bouth changed from his usual 32cm to like 59cm just to get his highscore

[normal bloom]

ah ye

low sens is fine for 180 scens

the resets are aids for like cfsei

[inland lark]

Hmm

But ive been getting higher scores with higher sens on pgti

Im using 42cm

[noble belfry]

It works either way

I think cookie got his high scores on like 21-5cm

SDK got it on 32cm, I feel like PGTI is more of a personal preference thing the some other scenarios for sure

[inland lark]

Pgti im using about 35cm

So normal sens 42 cm
Pgti 35cm

I think im gonna stick to this 35cm sens for pgti for now

Well i guess it may be because im using a smaller pad
So i may need higher sens to reset less on pgti

[noble belfry]

Yeah thats fair I think the resets always mess me on pgti

[astral dagger]

some people on spoit's stream are 5heads

[noble belfry]

I mean its a fair question

[inland lark]

PeRsonaL pRefErence

[astral dagger]

he asked

for you

[inland lark]

meh

[granite ivy]

16:9 is unusable with high FOV, people really don’t understand that 90 FOV on 16:9 is a lot. Even on other aspect ratios, hFOV is just too much.

[mental snow]

how has the average skill level of plat 2s/3s gone down SO MUCH?

plat 1 diamond elo solo queuing and teammates dont understand what rotates to make ON KITCHEN/SERVICE ON COASTLINE

its year 5

[frank compass]

It hasnt gone down alot vladr

Like the players in the elo feel about the same as they did back in Wind Bastion

[mental snow]

i meant 1s/2s not necessarily 3s

plat 3 always been bloated with golds

[frank compass]

Ah

Yea

I think it’s cause a lot of ppl quit

Or stopped playing ranked

+all the cheaters

[mental snow]

yea, most good players dont really touch ranked as often inflating the dog shit players to higher elo over time

still

[frank compass]

Mhmmmm

[mental snow]

i dont understand how people get to plat 1 and reinforce BOTH of the walls behind the service bomb in y5, shits astounding

[frank compass]

Like literally me and almost everyone from all the I usually played with have quit the game or taken hiatus this season

And im sure a lot of players are getting indirectly boosted by hackers in some way

[mental snow]

yep, which is why i wish they took away soft reset for next season and hard reset everybody's elo bc most peoples elo is either inflated way up or way down compared to their actual skill level bc of all the cheaters this season

[static sentinel]

I'm getting boosted by hurls and Toast of War

[frank compass]

I am like

400 elo behind my seasonal average

And i dont even have the willpower to try and get a decent rank this season

Like the game is just too unfun

I remember playing start if season with syzma and mio and thinking “man this season might be easy champ”

Then corona hit and all the cheaters came into ranked

:))))))

[static sentinel]

You

Being champ?

[frank compass]

Ive been 5k elo multiple times

Back when the game was fun

🙂

[granite ivy]

plat 1 diamond elo solo queuing and teammates dont understand what rotates to make ON KITCHEN/SERVICE ON COASTLINE
@mental snow I’ve seen so much people reinforcing the full wall on kitchen gifting a window plant, leaving the whole bathroom wall soft but without killholes so attackers can just hold angles through the bathroom wall and cut rotates back to site, not making rotates, etc.

I don’t expect people to go full scrim and play with fucking pro league strats but I can’t see how playing like this is fun. You’re literally handicapping yourself and losing MMR, and if that doesn’t matter to you, you’re still throwing your K/D by giving the enemy free kills. Wtf is fun about that shit?

[mental snow]

bruh, even quad wall in kitchen i understand, like not everybody might be exposed to competitive play etc whatever... nooby, but understandable. but both of the WALLS between sites??? at plat 1 elo that is just unacceptable

i asked and they weren't trolling - they genuinely DIDNT KNOW

like what

[frank compass]

you dont even reinforce the fucking quad wall

like

maybe the back 2 walls close to spark

but you're literally throwing by giving all 4 walls reinforcements

but like Ive seen that so often in high plat

because half the players are literal bricks

[granite ivy]

It’s so stupid, then this people have the face to complain when they lose. Like dude, you’re actively throwing yet have so little self-awareness that you somehow manage to convince yourself that it’s your teammates. Those people gotta be a bit retardef at the very least

[astral dagger]

rainbow six has like the least consistent competitive ranked system

[coarse vale]

GG @astral dagger, you just advanced to level 12 !

[astral dagger]

Like playing at Gold 3 I find some people who are gods and I find some people who are braindead

I swear every match is like a crapshoot

[frank compass]

yes

it really does

[timid mist]

gold is hard to play soloq in

plat3 same shit

u need to get at least like 3 ppl together

[astral dagger]

solo q is fine

till mid p2

then it gets dull and cancer

due to stacks closets and blatant cheaters

@static sentinel https://streamable.com/unufje

ferrari peeks are a thing too in siege i guess

that cav actually hit me nasty

[static sentinel]

LOL

That was sick

[astral dagger]

ye

but guy did wierd shit the whole match

mate said he was closet cheating idk

i still got hit nasty lmao

https://streamable.com/z2e2ui

gonna leave this here against cheaters btw

[tepid cosmos]

they don’t seem very good at cheating

[astral dagger]

next round he used blitz with speed hacks and knifed through walls

ask @velvet fern @solid rampart @steel pumice still clapped them as well

not very good cheaters at all yhaha

[mortal notch]

I play with someone who will still blame the team after going 1-7

"SHITTERS"

Favourite word

• he says "You're better" too much 😦

[astral dagger]

dont play with him

if he doesn't benefit you and you wanna improve don't play with him

[mortal notch]

I mean aside from that he's fine

• he's a friend

[velvet fern]

Won the last round by accidentally wall banging him.

[granite ivy]

https://streamable.com/alefz6

wtaf are these peeks

[normal bloom]

mute ape

[carmine pier]

never noticed how much

input lag this game has until i played other games

[desert moth]

its because like half of the game is based off of peekers advantage

[granite ivy]

Peekers advantage is an issue mostly due to being able to walk ADSed at full speed with perfect accuracy, but it’s a necessity for game like Siege so there’s no real solution in the end

[astral dagger]

https://clips.twitch.tv/VastRealTermiteKappa

wtf did beau just do haha crazy fuck

[frank compass]

1shs very cool mechanic

[inland lark]

mm

[frank compass]

there was a lot of skill involved in that one

[inland lark]

he had the finger skill

tap skill

[frank compass]

literally

cross map

prob like a solid 40m

hipfire 1 tap

with the ump

[inland lark]

like can u do it

[frank compass]

like imagine the odds

of that shot hitting

actually blessed

[astral dagger]

no skill but still cool af

lucky af as well

[frank compass]

i mean cool but

literally

stupid

in every way

[astral dagger]

they will never chance 1shot hs lets be real

[vivid jolt]

That's a once in a year shot.

[granite ivy]

https://www.reddit.com/r/JustAim/comments/h8zada/another_score/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Look at this dude

[frank compass]

i was expecting to open the vid and see some shit score on an irrelevant scenario

i was not disappointed

🙂

[granite ivy]

The username gave it away, didn’t it?

[frank compass]

i clicked on the post

saw the score

and was like

"is this cyn?"

[astral dagger]

not bad

[astral dagger]

nice siege screenshot

👍

[compact garnet]

Yes

[vivid jolt]

[plucky ingot]

is it still bad time to play siege?

i've had dreams of me playing it

but i've never touched it in my life

[noble belfry]

Well nothing about this game has changed since the last time you asked

We had a dev updated which said they were looking at important things but we can't expect any actual action for awhile so

[plucky ingot]

i should just play it tbh

maybe its bad for you guys as you've played it for long

is it quick to find games e tc?

wait so im looking for a siege cdkey

is it best to get on uplay or steam

all the keys seem to be on uplay

[noble belfry]

I've not touched rank this season but generally que times are alright, its what ever you prefer between uplay or steam really

[plucky ingot]

ah okay, but does it run the same on both

i know rarely sometimes a platform affects performance or something

or netcode etc

no steam cdkeys hmm

[mortal notch]

lucky shot that has almost no odds of happening occurs

CHANGE THE GAME

1shs stays

whats the point of a 2s hs if you can just 3s body

discourages headshots

[plucky ingot]

can you play agro in siege?

[mortal notch]

if the argument is that you wont notice the time difference between 1s hs and 2s hs, why would you then notice it between 2s hs and 3s body

1shs is a good mechanic.

@plucky ingot those keys really arent any cheaper than the game itself

you can get the deluxe version for £8.50

R6 is a good game. Recommended. Lots of depth and complexity to get stuck into, gunplay is good.

You can play aggo in siege, but you would want to keep it in check. Becuase theres a difference between aggro and headless chicken

[plucky ingot]

cool

yeah im kind of used to

cs style agro

[mortal notch]

you should be okay then

[plucky ingot]

siege is free this weekend -_-

[mortal notch]

try to use the more simple characters first, get used to the game, then delve further into the utility and stuff

[plucky ingot]

should i dl ultra hd pack

version

[mortal notch]

nah

[plucky ingot]

why not

[mortal notch]

thats for 4k textures

[plucky ingot]

oh

ty

[mortal notch]

not really needed

[plucky ingot]

i play on low anyway

low like my skil

[mortal notch]

these are probably some of the more simple, easy to pick up operators

[plucky ingot]

thats

a lot of characters

wtf

[astral dagger]

1shs is a good mechanic.
@mortal notch cba

[plucky ingot]

thats nearly as many chars

as a fighting game

xD

does it always take 5 years

to connect

nd wtf is raiden from mgs2 doing on the main menu

[astral dagger]

@plucky ingot if you want to learn siege just play thatcher and smoke only

It will be clear to you when you are making mistakes

Also you will be shit with the smg11 so it will teach you not to peak things unnecessarily as a defender

[plucky ingot]

why is smg1 hard?

[astral dagger]

Smg11 is the only gun in this game that has recoil but it still usable consistently

[plucky ingot]

wait this game has no recoil?

nice

are we talking

[astral dagger]

It has recoil but it's unnoticeable

[plucky ingot]

apex level no recoil?

for me apex doesn't have much recoil

[astral dagger]

Point is you should only play thatcher and smoke because it will be very obvious when you make mistakes

[plucky ingot]

i seee

but can i ask

why the fuck are there so many agents

what could they possibly be doing xd

[astral dagger]

Every other non hard support you can make all the mistakes and not realise what you are doing wrong

They all do different things of course

[plucky ingot]

what does thatcher do and what does smoke do (guess the name gives it away)

[astral dagger]

Just like any other class based competitive game

[plucky ingot]

i love using smokes tho xD

but i've never seen so many characters

[astral dagger]

Clearly you have never watched any moba

Like league of legends or dota

[noble belfry]

Or played ow

but thatcher has EMP grenades that disable defender utility, Smoke has gas canisters that area denial through doing damage in the most basic terms

[astral dagger]

@plucky ingot what region are you btw

[plucky ingot]

@astral dagger EU

this is literally the slowest dl ever and my net is fast

@astral dagger yeah you're right actually, i never watched moba or anything just seems so boring tbh

tried league and hon but i just dont get it

clicking on some ork

wheres the skill xD

mobas seem more like a chess type of game

fps is also chess but with "physical" element

but in those games you can have many characters anyway

because it's a "magical" realm, in an fps how can you have 30 characters? they're all going to start doing the same thing more or less

like valorant has few characters and already numerous chars basically have same ability

purple smoke, blue smoke, short smoke, long smoke smoke smoke smoke

VR smoke

just re-skinned smokes lel

[astral dagger]

wheres the skill xD
@plucky ingot mobas also include a huge amount of mechanical skill

often overlooked if you arent into it

and yeah, they mainly have tactical depth

[plucky ingot]

i guess mechanical skill like starcraft ? on that sort of criteria?

[astral dagger]

nah starcraft mechanical skill is more in managing multiple units

but league f.e. has some rly mechanical demanding characters

riven has like 20 animation cancels for example lmao

[plucky ingot]

oh i see

yo so why is siege 72gb

wut

is there a single player ?

what is siege vulcan

sorry im a sking so many questions

that i can prob google

xD

last q uestion

best way to get apex/cs sens into sige

i tried a converter

but feels really slow

[vivid jolt]

Pins.

[astral dagger]

^

[plucky ingot]

?

Pins?

do most players have lean on toggle or hold

[astral dagger]

lean on toggle

[plucky ingot]

also why is it when im in ads

it feels supe rslow

like idk

moving up down feel slow

[astral dagger]

ads and hipfire sens arent the same

your ads is a multiplier of your hip sens

[velvet fern]

If i'm not mistaken, you can put your ADS on 83 which makes your hipfire and ADS sens 1 to 1.

[astral dagger]

^^

@plucky ingot btw we can play together if you want

im eu too

still got a 3rd acc to level lol

[vivid jolt]

84*

[noble belfry]

Could also try to convert one of your scopes from apex to siege may be an idea

[mortal notch]

did rainbow just go down?

becuase its either that or i got logged out mid ranked match

🙂

[velvet fern]

84*
@vivid jolt Pretty sure it's 83.

[astral dagger]

@velvet fern its 83.3 at which 1x sight sens caps, after that it only speeds up your acog

[velvet fern]

Ah, got it.

[astral dagger]

so if you want to match 1x sights perfectly (with default multiplier), 84 is then number

[mortal notch]

imagine still losing this round

[astral dagger]

What

ye imagine losing in a X v 2 situation

never happens

imagine

having team mates that say hookah is harder to hold than blue bar on coastline

eu servers atm

such a joke

like they just randomly crash lmao

match is gone

[noble belfry]

its actually been unplayable the last few times I tried I got rather disconnected or just random everyone at 500+ping

[astral dagger]

yes

[astral dagger]

https://streamable.com/sulrj8

name a more

iconic

duo

[frank compass]

Or just use 83 since the difference will be less that half a cm

[mortal notch]

@astral dagger it was 5v2 🙂

before any of them got in site

or even in the building

Y5S2 Steel Wave Patch Notes Addendum

Over the course of the Steel Wave test server period we have resolved a variety of issues and made a few additional updates.

BALANCING

Y5S2.1 update
...

[astral dagger]

ubi finally doing things for the pro scene

[frank compass]

yesssss

Although

What would be nice

Is if they just put an option in game

Instead of forcing me to change all my unis

[noble belfry]

Honestly I think it just being an option in the game would be so much better

Just so you don't have to run into ember rise users anymore

[astral dagger]

ye

1step at a time i guess

[noble belfry]

Yeah its a good thing

Nothing will take away from that

[astral dagger]

glad to see they are starting to fix things

maybe this year will be a good one for siege

[frank compass]

also

cant run

elite skins

LOL

insane

[astral dagger]

it's the highest lvl of play

i dont think they care about elites haha

[frank compass]

I mean they should

[astral dagger]

no really

[frank compass]

elites arent an issue

except Twitch

[astral dagger]

ofc not but look at the skins on the list

[frank compass]

the valk one isnt even that bad

Contuur ur

missing the point

[astral dagger]

its all pl and shit

[noble belfry]

Thats a big money promo gone

[astral dagger]

i get that

[noble belfry]

No longer having pros rep those tasty elites

[astral dagger]

but why would me or pros care about elite skins in pro play?

[frank compass]

exactly fuhsz

I mean

Korey

made a tweet abt it

which is why i realized the elites werent on the list

cause I skimmed the uni names and didnt think abt elites

like it's free money theyre missing out on

[astral dagger]

it's ubisofts loss not anyone else

[frank compass]

I mean

it's a loss

for people who bought the skins

lmao

[astral dagger]

how?

[frank compass]

because they cant use them

[noble belfry]

its not really a gain to not have them either (well the majority)

[frank compass]

anymore

[astral dagger]

in pl ye

[plucky ingot]

@astral dagger yeah sure add me

[frank compass]

contuur

no one changes their uniforms

[noble belfry]

Yeah so do I but I have to use it as a reminder to the depths of ubi

[noble belfry]

[frank compass]

Halloween headgear w/ White Uniform

it looked so clean

[astral dagger]

https://streamable.com/skztrj

XD

just swipe over head

i much skill yas yas

[mental snow]

ideally they make it so you see your teammates uniforms with an option to turn off opponents - that way you see your own like gloves and shit and you can still show your friends your cool outfits without getting a competitive advanatage

or the csgo approach where theres a white halo around opponents

[frank compass]

yes

teammate uniforms only

is what Ive personally asked for since Wind Bastion

idk why they dont do that

they have the capabilities

theyve literally done it before

[static sentinel]

CS' approach with white halo is the best thing to happen to the game

Its amazing

[night radish]

Thank you

[frank compass]

ok ngl

i wanna do this on a kpu

how long did that take you to do? @mental snow

[mental snow]

ehh like 4-5 hours total

not too bad

[astral dagger]

is he the guy who puts z1 hyperglides on all his mice

i love z1 hyperglides

[static sentinel]

@mental snow Wanna try this on a Viper Mini

Wonder how itll be

[mental snow]

its super comfortable 🙂

[static sentinel]

The mini is very hard to properly grip

Maybe I can also slap on a paracord while I am at it

But expense wise, shits building up

10 pounds sandpaper

15 pounds polish

15 for paracord

and thats as much as I paid for the damn mouse

[night radish]

dont need a paracord for viper mini

[static sentinel]

You say so?

[night radish]

i have one

and i dont need it at all

the stock cord is great

[static sentinel]

I was thinking if I am gonna mod it, I might as well go all out but I guess ill save my 12 pounds :D

[surreal cosmos]

Cyn of Smyrna was ur name Syn before

[static sentinel]

Nope

It was Cynadote

[frank compass]

[astral dagger]

steel wave is tmmrw

[frank compass]

i wish it wasnt

[inland lark]

thats kinda fast?

[astral dagger]

for real though

I don't want steel wave to come

Melusi's gadget is going to be really annoying to deal with

is she going to get nerfed at all?

[frank compass]

idk

I didnt check the patch notes

but I hope she got massive nerfs

fuck proxi alarms

fuck melusi

[static sentinel]

New patch notes are really good

[inland lark]

:O

[astral dagger]

Heard a diamond player say that aim is important at high rankd

[frank compass]

i mean

relatively

[raw fox]

imagine thinking diamond ranked is all about aim, when dogshit plat 3 is a frag fest

[frank compass]

kinda

it isnt buck

wait I misread

what you meant

nvm

[raw fox]

alex take ur time

[frank compass]

:/

at least I dont have

classes

[raw fox]

the more we misinterpret that faster people jump to conclusions and war breaks out

[frank compass]

but thats how the fun happens

[raw fox]

or we die of rona

[frank compass]

again

[raw fox]

which is not fun

[frank compass]

that's how the fun happens

[raw fox]

not when we lose a lung and they stuff a tub up ur butt

unless u into that then u do u friend

[frank compass]

[astral dagger]

😩

@astral dagger

[inland lark]

@static sentinel

[vivid jolt]

Unpopular opinion:
The game would be exponentially better if you were detected instantly as defenders walked outside.

[static sentinel]

^^^^^^^^

[inland lark]

:)))

yes plz

[vivid jolt]

There is no tactical scenario where it requires you to be outside of the play area. There is no reason you should be forgiven for breaking those bounds.

[static sentinel]

Agreed

[frank compass]

certain maps

although not many that are still in the pool

had/have certain exterior rotations

although out of the majority of current maps, the only one that immediately comes to mind is border

don't think it would make the game better tho

it would reduce aggressive defensive metas for certain maps

[vivid jolt]

it would heavily reduce aggressive defensive metas for certain maps
...which...
would make the game better tho

[frank compass]

debatable

like Consulate

for example

CEO would be a much worse site if attackers had no fear of over aggressive defenders due to instant wh

[static sentinel]

Running out is a such a weak way of getting kills it's kinda pathetic

[frank compass]

depends

on a lot of factors

imo

it's always fault of the attackers

if you die to a runout

you have so much utility to deny it

that being said ranked stars who throw themselves out of every window they see

arent playing the game as intended

[vivid jolt]

Nah it is quite weak. It throws out the entire concept of defensive map control and substitutes it for mindless "i brek rules now outside gun brr brr"

[frank compass]

that being said ranked stars who throw themselves out of every window they see

arent playing the game as intended

[vivid jolt]

And to CEO, you'd still get the kills. The reaction time would be far too long even with instant detection.

[frank compass]

uhhhhhhh

no

yellow door runouts are literally a death sentence in scrims against teams that actually know how to set it up correctly

most runouts are either yellow stairs window if the proper control isnt established or garage

[vivid jolt]

Then the result would be the same.

Good.

[frank compass]

and yellow window barely happens

the more common one is garage runnout

which is extremely high risk/moderate to high reward

[static sentinel]

@mental snow What type of polish did you use

Is any fine?

[frank compass]

the only way a runout is successful is if the atk team fails to utilize their utility properly or fails to establish control

punishing defenders for trying to take advantage of attacker misplays is fucking dumb

like Im not even a player who looks at a window and thinks "man this would be great to jump out of"

having instant detection is literally a Y1/2 reddit moment

come to think of it, Im sure it still is something they think would be a wonderful change but I havent touched that subreddit since Op Health and never want to again

[vivid jolt]

So now that you've established that defenders running out shouldn't work in a competitive environment, why allow it to be forgiven and rewarded in a less-competitive environment? Why permit less competitive gameplay in an already less competitive mode?

[frank compass]

it's a high risk with moderate to high reward in a competitive environment

that doesnt mean it's an uncompetitive mechanic

or a mechanic that ruins the competitive nature of the game

the game wouldnt become better because you remove the mechanic

[vivid jolt]

So when 5 doc mains are jumping out every round on you in Ranked, you're thinking "man, this is a really competitive environment we're having?"

[frank compass]

plat ranked

will literally

NEVER

be competitive

[vivid jolt]

...So let's just keep it as uncompetitive as we can?

[frank compass]

unless you fundamentally change the mindset

of the average player

Toast you arent keeping it

uncompetitive

like

what????

you're making extremely large leaps in logic

in order to come to that conclusion

runouts = bad
bad = uncompetitive??

like please explain your logic in more detail

[vivid jolt]

So removing the 3-second forgiveness for running outside wouldn't discourage running outside constantly?

[frank compass]

2.5

also youre making the assumption that running outside is uncompetitive

it isnt uncompetitive

it just isnt "tactical"

they are not the same thing

[vivid jolt]

And that's where we're done here.

[frank compass]

tactical =/= competitive

please explain your logic in which
tactical = competitive

you have up until this point offered no real argument as to why it would make the game better other than "im sick of ranked stars jumping out on me!!!"

you have so much utility as an attacker to prevent it

stop asking for more handicaps just cause youre shit at the game

[astral dagger]

👋 hey

[zenith quartz]

I'd go as far as to say being tactical is usually not the best if you want to be competitive because people will abuse the heck out of systems/the game to get a round advantage and being slow and steady or whatever your definition of "tactical" is, is just hindering you/your team

[frank compass]

tactical is a buzz word

like in reality it means very little

but typically when people make balancing arguments from "tactical" perspectives

it's bordering arguments from "realism"

[zenith quartz]

to me being tactical means being milsim you know like, slow, steady use "real life" tactics

yeah exactly

[frank compass]

yes

that is

usually what it means

the current meta is "tactical"

but when you try to force realism or like extreme tactical mechanics on a game

you arent left with something competitive

Tarkov is Tactical

Tarkov is not Competitive

like there are quite a few flaws in that comparison

but from a surface level

I think the point is valid.

[astral dagger]

All I seeing is a bunch of people who can't win a gunfight when they have the advantage

[frank compass]

that is

half the playerbase

because they suck

[astral dagger]

[frank compass]

you have an inherent advantage in gunfights as an attacker

but the amount of actual gunfights

that exist in siege

are low

which isn't necessarily a bad thing

[astral dagger]

People who die to spawn peeks deserve to not play the round

And people who aren't aware of a basic runout should also

[frank compass]

imagine dying to spawnpeeks

in 2020

[astral dagger]

You have every opportunity against a runout of you place the proper drones and don't just run at the building without any care

[raw fox]

Just a reminder that old house t hunts will no longer be available. f in the chat to toast's run

[frank compass]

they said old house

would still be in thunt

and customs

?

[raw fox]

Where do i find this announcement?

[frank compass]

@astral dagger not to mention nomad and at least 1 claymore on each lineup

@raw fox uh it was a tweet durign the start of the TTS run

idk if ill be able to find it

[raw fox]

Lit

Still not gonna play tho

[frank compass]

yea

Im not either

until Melusi is nerfed

[raw fox]

Already diamond in another game

[frank compass]

AHAH

yesterday I learned

you literally cant derank tiers

in apex

[astral dagger]

The only map i see where runouts are really a problem is in new canal

[raw fox]

Mhm

[frank compass]

like that is so fucking dumb

yea Mini fighting valk apes on the server runout is really fucking aggravating

[astral dagger]

Because some of them force you into a 1v1 gunfight which isn't advantageous

[raw fox]

It keeps doo doo diamonds at doo doo diamond

Like us

[frank compass]

hey man i got elo

last night

not a lot

but some

[raw fox]

Its gonna be a long season

[frank compass]

next split

will be more enjoyable

i hope

[astral dagger]

Going for champ next season

[raw fox]

Blitz role i presume

[frank compass]

I dont have the energy to play siege when outback, kanal, etc are still in the pool

and when I have no reason to play anymore

[raw fox]

I dont have the energy to play at all

[frank compass]

like the fact I can realistically no longer make any money off siege and most of my friends have also just quit

there is 0 reason for me to even attempt

[raw fox]

R6 requires more things to be executed perfect and with 4 other teammates its hard to keep up

I cant run into site and pew pew without getting shut down by every trap now

[frank compass]

The meta in competitive isnt healthy and the meta in ranked isnt enjoyable

honestly

I remember thinking the barb wire nerf

would heavily reduce def winrates

but then ela came out

and it's like it never happened

and teams started to learn how to not be reliant on barb wire

then lion hit

and defenders learned they needed to play over aggressive

then intel meta hit and there was a shitton of utility for atks to clear

[raw fox]

The meta hit a dive after parabellum

[frank compass]

then y4 came along

[raw fox]

Fuck fortress

[frank compass]

and it just kept getting worse and worse

[raw fox]

Cant see shit cus its dusty as fuck

[frank compass]

The meta hit a diver after Chimera

Parabellum was a short burst of "healthy" meta. But once you took Lion out of the equation, the meta became super unhealthy,

and super unenjoyable

and instead of proper nerfing or redesign

Ubisoft has instead consistently exacerbated the issues

and consistently focused on reducing ops pickrates by just making them less enjoyable to play

while not affecting their effectiveness in most scenarios.

BB, Echo, Mira, Ela, Ying, Dokkaebi, Lion, Maestro, Mozzie, Goyo, Wamai

all ops that seemed to have been released with very little oversight or thought in how they would affect the meta

all ops that have either been nerfed in unsubstantial ways (if at all), poorly tweaked, or need some sort of redesign.

[raw fox]

Less shit across the board

Ammo and utility

120 ammo in all guns except shotguns and pocket guns

And dmrs

[frank compass]

BB needs a full redesign
Echo should lose a drone, have Barb replaced with C4 or Impacts
Mira should have a mirror taken away
Ela should be reduced to 2 mines and have her gun buffed back to what it was last patch and lose shield for impacts
Ying should just be nerfed into the ground
Dokkaebi (actually not that bad but Im sure there is some decent tweak she could still use)
Lion needs a full redesign
Maestro should lose an evil eye
Mozzie should get shotgun back, have pest radius reduced, and pests should die after X amount of time
Goyo should've never been launched with 3 shields. (not as bad anymore, honestly fine in his current state)
Wamai should have a radius reduction on the gadget and lose shield.

ARs should have ammo reduction

TCSG should be put to 62 damage.

Buck should get frags back and lose the extra skeleton key ammo

[raw fox]

Lion ls not gonna get reworked. Far too much headache for ubi already

[frank compass]

removing frags from buck and giving him more ammo completely ruined the skill ceiling and skill floor for the operator

I mean Buck

Im not saying what i think will happen

Im saying what should or should have happened

for the game to remain healthy

Proxi alarms should be removed from the game

[raw fox]

I guess we're just r6 boomers who cant adapt

[frank compass]

Melusi should be nerfed into the ground

[astral dagger]

I'm having more fun playing valorant than i have had fun in r6 for the last few years and I don't like csgo type shooters

[frank compass]

Ace should be nerfed in some way (prob gadget timing)

yea mini I actually had more fun in my beta run of valorant (and I hated the game) than I had since Phantom Sight

yea buck we're just players who fell behind as everyone else got better

:')

[brittle mural]

I play r6 in 16:10, koovaks is in 1:1 for r6, how do I get 16:10 in koovaks

[frank compass]

check pins

[brittle mural]

what are pins

[compact garnet]

Bet

[frank compass]

idk why

it kept that white part

when the pen red isnt even off the image

snipping tool is stupid

[compact garnet]

lightshot or sharex

[brittle mural]

16:10 @90 - 115.5 hFOV

[frank compass]

@compact garnet n1

[brittle mural]

So since I have 16:10 90 fov should I run 115.5 hfov?

[frank compass]

yes

or

115.5*0.9

[brittle mural]

why?

[frank compass]

if you want to run your holo fov

[brittle mural]

oh right

[frank compass]

although

doesnt really matter

fov is super irrelevant

[brittle mural]

is relevant.

[frank compass]

no

[brittle mural]

with 4:3 I can do a 480 grades

with 16:10 only 360

[frank compass]

huh

[brittle mural]

changes sens

[frank compass]

your sens doesnt change

between fov

no

it does not

not in siege

[brittle mural]

Im talking about aspect ratio

[frank compass]

aspect ratio literally just changes your fov in siege

it redistributes the amount of hfov per point of vfov

and then artificially stretches the image to fit the screen

the same sens on a different aspect ratio will produce the same cm/360

if it isnt then your testing is either flawed or youre wrong.

because aspect ratio doesnt change sens

[brittle mural]

ok then

I believe you

[frank compass]

and kovaaks is only 90deg to 180deg for most scenarios

[brittle mural]

you are diamond 2 , i am a poor gold

[frank compass]

so fov is

not very important

[brittle mural]

Ok, since I am gold level on sparky benchmark, Should I follow a low ttk routine or sparky's

[frank compass]

is it aimer's low ttk routine?

[brittle mural]

idk

[frank compass]

ok

i mean

depends on goals

[brittle mural]

oh I asked aimer7 for his routine and he asked me 35

lol

[frank compass]

also depends on how good the scens in the low ttk routine are

[brittle mural]

I get a routine by vf ozzy for valorant for 15 but is shit

[frank compass]

uh

idk the scens on it

so I cant have an idea of how good it is

[brittle mural]

Sending you in dm

@frank compass I was thinking about doing all scenarios preferred by community for 60 minutes so since are 16 scenarios that would take 4 runs a scenario

[frank compass]

wdym preferred by community

oh

oh

Toast's list

is good

id prob bloc it differently

[brittle mural]

bloc?

[frank compass]

pressure aiming - 5 minutes
1w6ts - 10 minutes
pokeball auto frenzy small - 5 minutes
tali - 5 minutes
wide wall - 10 minutes
vox ts - 10 minutes
clsi - 5 minutes
dev ts - 5 minutes
pasu reload - ??? minutes

something like that probably
