[quiet abyss]

i fucking hate the stub revolver on zealot

shits as accurate as my piss stream at 3am

[vital venture]

I luv it

Grew up on western movies

[quiet abyss]

but i use the brace one

not the ads one

[vital venture]

Will always luv me revolver

[quiet abyss]

i dont really care for the ads

[vital venture]

Ads apparently does more damage or some bullshit I never really looked into it

I just use the ads one cause I usually use it for killing far away shit

[quiet abyss]

yeah 200 more

and it does more damage overall

but the bolt pistol is just more reliable

its also got better sights since theyre not so thick

[vital venture]

I mean yea its not as reliable

But its a revolver

[quiet abyss]

yeah it just kinda sucks imo

like the fun one is the one you can fan the hammer on

Also not skipping past these, noice

[quiet abyss]

if i wanted precision

i just use bolt pistol

i use the revolver to fan the hammer

[green granite]

If you want precision

Use Eruptor

Cuz eruptor explodes every enemies

darktide not helldivers

[quiet abyss]

lemme get a helldivers bolt pistol

im being serious, would make helldivers more fun

[vital venture]

Yk its funny

[quiet abyss]

but it would be in a warbond if it was and then id have to spend hours and hours to grind credits

[vital venture]

I will only have 4 hours to complete said hw

[quiet abyss]

im kinda just not really in a state to play helldivers

[vital venture]

But we ball

[quiet abyss]

like forever tbh

its got all this cool new content

but to access it i have to slave away running circles around boring maps

just to get a taste of new content

that or pay

and im not doing that either

[halcyon fossil]

i love love service!!! i love love service!!! i love love service!!! i love love service!!!

live serveice

[sour rivet]

love serive

[quiet abyss]

i mean sure, its better than other games live service, but the bar is so low

it doesnt matter

[sour rivet]

add robo ky to darktide

[halcyon fossil]

add robo ky to real life

[quiet abyss]

i mean at least darktide doesnt need premium currency to have access to all the content

besides the dlcs

[quiet abyss]

i just dont think i have it in me for helldivers grind

and the gameplay doesnt really satisfy me like it used to, it lacks impact

[halcyon fossil]

it's a fun game to hop in, kill a few guys, refuel a few ships or whatever and then get off

[quiet abyss]

im too used to beating heretics with hammers

for me to have fun shooting things with peashooters that actively GET NERFED EVERY FUCKING TIME I PLAY

its just tiring

"fuck off. You will lose this game by my hand."
ints
imma get your ass banned
"pf try me"
gets report feedback

sometimes

i like karmic justice

@left mantle

i despise hyper aggresive junglers

they start a goddamn chain reaction

min 2 this mf tried to invade with mid and made enemy mid zed 2-0

broke our mid mentaly

[left mantle]

"what are you gonna do? Shoot me?"

[oblique belfry]

so our mid inted cuz of our jungle

and because of that our jungle inted as well making bot mad and also int

then they fucking blame ME out of nowhere

me and morde left the lane with only 1 kill each

our mid fed morde with kills

and im supposed to be the reason for it ???

plat - emerald elo is something

[left mantle]

emerald is hell

in every region

[oblique belfry]

im plat 2 80 lp rn

thank fuck im only losing -10 lp

but it will get worse

the more i lose

this is like 3rd time

[left mantle]

it's the people from plat who couldn't make diamond before emerald was introduced

[oblique belfry]

yep

worst thing is i couldn't go out of emerald as well because of them

my record was i think emerald 1 94 lp

it still baffles me that we have this many egotastic morons in earth

bet they are introvert shy fucks who refuses to go outside as well

[left mantle]

It's actually a very small amount.

[oblique belfry]

THEN WHY AM I KEEP STUMBLING UPON THEM

ITS ASS

[left mantle]

Because you're in the 8% of players where this shit is most likely

[oblique belfry]

pain

hel

[halcyon fossil]

my mute button is primed for the people that get tilted from a single death

[oblique belfry]

wish it was that simple for gameplay as well

[left mantle]

emerald is legit the people who hit a wall on one of the things that got them that high and don't realize it

[oblique belfry]

anyways

1 mayhem round before bedge

[halcyon fossil]

if only you could vote to swap players before like 5

[oblique belfry]

o new augment

[slim magnet]

at least the discussion now is about relatively high elo and not a crashout over a low silver - high bronze match

offtopic is healing

[left mantle]

I met an honest to god iron player once

I still am in awe

[oblique belfry]

we still have bogdan / gex for that cope

[halcyon fossil]

i have good enough macro knowledge but i just don't really have the reactions nor care for the game enough to actually climb

though it's been years since i've seriously played the game, summoner's rift is basically a different map atp

[left mantle]

pretty much that last point is me

I really could not care to climb

Only time I get roped into ranked is when an IRL friend does it

and start of season so I can do clash with them

Had a friend once go "Plat is the new silver" followed immediately by 2 people going "No, silver is the new silver"

Bro could not comprehend 50% of the base is typically in silver and gold still.

[green granite]

@quiet abyss smallest 40k game

[quiet abyss]

i never play tabletop

i really wanted to get some minis to paint

print them out and stuff

[green granite]

Hmm

[quiet abyss]

but i dont have paint

[green granite]

200 dollars

[quiet abyss]

lmao

im not BUYING THEM?

are you insane?

im printing those fuckers for a whole 3 dollars

[green granite]

Damn

[quiet abyss]

get like 10 marines for like 20 bucks

depends how big tbf

[green granite]

Man decided to Alpha Legion instead of being real

[quiet abyss]

i mean im not gonna play the tabletop

i never will

so official doesnt matter

just want them for neat little desk ornaments, or for fun

just to paint them for fun even

[green granite]

Print helldiver figures

[quiet abyss]

maybe a bit of both, yeah?

i can make a bunch of them

i still appreciate helldivers, even if i think the game is boring

[green granite]

https://www.printables.com/model/839254-helldiver-miniature

[quiet abyss]

i will have to ask my friend for tips on how to add "wear" or chipping

to the figures/armor

[slim magnet]

we have this autist in the friend group that everyone knows plays like utter fucking dogshit but is on high diamond

[quiet abyss]

because im clueless, and hes painted for competitions and stuff so hes much further ahead

he even won some

[slim magnet]

everyone sucks his cock if he's in vc like "oh dude you're so good at the game" but they play one match with him and it swings right back into saying how trash the guy is at the game

thing is

[quiet abyss]

i would end up making a really really bad mini if i didnt have help

[slim magnet]

the guy no lifes league like crazy

he has absolutely zero macro

zero

there's a spider on the 4 key all day

he to this day still believes top lane should be an exclusively 1v1 lane and that ganks automatically make his opponent a worthless piece of trash

[green granite]

Yikes

[slim magnet]

but he knows renekton

you just need time

[green granite]

Girlfriend destroyed 3080Ti

[slim magnet]

you don't need to play good

[green granite]

I dont think she sees light of day again

[slim magnet]

like

[halcyon fossil]

renekton player...

[slim magnet]

especially now that they're quite literally handing out double lp or not losing any lp if you do as much as play autofill

[halcyon fossil]

it's so hard pressing your buttons as soon as they're off cooldown and winning by default

[slim magnet]

the literal only reason you have to not climb in this season is not having enough time to nolife the shit out of the game

that's literally every champion in the game

the game is easy to play by default

bro splitting hairs

name a top champion "more difficult" than renekton

[slim magnet]

by design too, it's the point

[halcyon fossil]

uhhhh yuumi

[slim magnet]

like comparatively league is the most accessible moba game

[left mantle]

dota has far less guardrails for sure.

[slim magnet]

but that's besides the point

the thing is you don't have to be good at the game

you just have to pick autofill

and play

and have time

boom now you're high elo

[zealous depot]

This is why you should not date

[halcyon fossil]

true slamming your head against the wall will eventually make a dent in something

[copper vapor]

playing dota and hon as a newbie was an "amazing" experience
getting denied, getting hooked by pudge from 2 screens away

[left mantle]

and characters aren't as sidelined into playing roles.

[slim magnet]

i've always stood by this reasoning and i've always used that autist in the friend group as living proof of that

we have a handful of people that beat the shit out of him in macro

some objectively better than him in every regard

but they're lower in rank because they don't play 15 matches a day every day

[halcyon fossil]

i just don't enjoy playing the actual game, i'm better at making calls anyway

jungle used to be an enjoyable backseat role but now there's just too much shit you have to do

[copper vapor]

it was always busy in my experience

[left mantle]

The busy just moved

[copper vapor]

gotta mind the red and blue timers both for your own jungle and the enemy's so you can invade and steal them
gotta gank/tax frequently so you don't fall behind because exclusively farming jungle will make you get snowballed

[left mantle]

and people discovered more

[oblique belfry]

oo

patch 26.04

[copper vapor]

I liked jungling in dota because depending on the hero it was very challenging and satisfying to do

[oblique belfry]

@left mantle

i swear to god

[zealous depot]

[copper vapor]

converting creeps as Chen and microing them, microing Enigma's babies

[oblique belfry]

if its another bullshit buff

that will get removed in 4 patches

[left mantle]

It will.

[copper vapor]

or just playing lifestealer and rightclicking everything

[oblique belfry]

[left mantle]

Senna always gets one or two changes, same with ryze

[zealous depot]

Tf is micro and Marco even

My brain is too small for this shit

[slim magnet]

macro referring to overall game knowledge and awareness

[oblique belfry]

lux buff 🥀

samira buff 🥀

[copper vapor]

Doom jungle was fun, too. You had to time Devour correctly to optimize buff uptime (to gain access to creep abilities) as well as its cooldown and the gold pop

[halcyon fossil]

buff
brand (jungle)

ok

[slim magnet]

micro game is knowing your character and the matchups
macro game is knowing the actual game

that's how i've always seen it

[oblique belfry]

love how even after all these nerfs jinx got

[left mantle]

micro is what's happening in your spot in the map, macro is what's happening that affects everywhere on the map.

[oblique belfry]

she is still dominating

[copper vapor]

on the most basic level of the term, I've known "micro" as being able to control multiple units at once

from the pre-dota warcraft 3 days

[oblique belfry]

[slim magnet]

that's micro management

fnaf 2 gameplay

[copper vapor]

for which "micro" is shorthand

[slim magnet]

ye

[left mantle]

tbf it requiring a kill doesn't work well.

[slim magnet]

but like

if macro exists

[oblique belfry]

yeah

[slim magnet]

then micro should exist too

[oblique belfry]

but how would you fix it

[slim magnet]

but in this case macro is referring to macrogame

[left mantle]

It's a cool idea but it's not good for when you need it

[slim magnet]

not macromanagement

[oblique belfry]

i was thinking of turning into an active idea

[slim magnet]

semantics

[oblique belfry]

but then again

adcs with active item ?

99% of em will forget to use em

[left mantle]

who cares.

Once again

[green granite]

@sour rivet

[left mantle]

It's okay for an item to have a niche.

[slim magnet]

yeah like

[left mantle]

IF that niche is to be used by the only people who remember it exists then fine

[slim magnet]

look at maw

[left mantle]

Horizon focus.

[slim magnet]

when was the last time you saw someone fully buy the maw

and not just the hexdrinker

[left mantle]

They spent a year trying to bring it out of a niche only to nearly kill the item

[oblique belfry]

we are gonna have a horizon focus 2.0 aren't we

[slim magnet]

i haven't seen that item in literal years

[little depot]

Me

[left mantle]

League needs to realize one thing

You can't make every item appeal to a lot of characters.

[oblique belfry]

meanwhile :

[left mantle]

Yeah because that item was broken from onset because it's niche is 70% of the roster.

[slim magnet]

nah the team needs to realize the game is fucking stale if the cumulative changes over the span of literal years don't surmount to a 1% stat difference

[oblique belfry]

[slim magnet]

that shit is just boring

[oblique belfry]

oh look an item that lets you on-hit twice

surely it will not be that bad

[slim magnet]

why have a patch every 2 weeks if the only thing they'd be doing is posting a 300 word long essay to just reduce x champions armor growth by 0.005 points

[left mantle]

lets count how many champs have on hit procs 1...2.... 5000

[oblique belfry]

pre nerf guinsoos all over again

the worst thing is the item gives a lot of stats so most of em can use that item

unlike guinsoos

not to mention them giving ap ratio on all adcs as well

because "erm guinsoos now has ap"

[vital venture]

tbf I think part of the boredom is that you have SM2 to scratch the co-op hoard fighting itch and of course liking 40k a lot does provide a bias

[oblique belfry]

@left mantle literally 1 hour ago i witnessed this firsthand

[little depot]

Unpopular opinion

[slim magnet]

any game can eventually turn boring even if the concept and execution are fantastic

i love warframe

[oblique belfry]

and 30 mins ago there was a hotfix

[slim magnet]

warframe is a damn fun game

but it's boring to me now

[little depot]

They ruined mayhem with the new changes

[left mantle]

There are only 23 champs without AP ratios, 4 of which are ADCs

[oblique belfry]

[left mantle]

That's a statistical truth

[halcyon fossil]

need more champions with attack speed ratios

or movespeed ratios

[oblique belfry]

[vital venture]

I mean is it the game turning boring or you accomplishing what you sought to complete

[left mantle]

Dude there's some insane AS ratios on some champs

[oblique belfry]

sir the second no fun allowed hotfix has hit the live servers

[slim magnet]

both

[little depot]

Newd more champs with mana scalings

[vital venture]

Fair

[slim magnet]

most fun i've had in modern warframe is the deimos labs map

because of the monsters with several crit spots

[slim magnet]

it makes mobbing super fun

but then again it's just for a while

[oblique belfry]

"i have seen this before"

[left mantle]

with the new mana items in sup that could be neat

[oblique belfry]

[oblique belfry]

tear items being able to stack too

some people are already making a "tear only" ryze builds rn

[left mantle]

A sense of dread overtakes you, even in it's absence you remember this change.

[teal spade]

God, when are they releasing another champ that scales with how many deaths you got? It's been a while since Yasou was released

[oblique belfry]

with fimbul / archangel / manazane

and rod

[quiet abyss]

no its also just that hd2 kinda sucks tbh

[oblique belfry]

yone

[quiet abyss]

the devs actively hate you

[oblique belfry]

following in his brother's steps

[quiet abyss]

and the weapons are generic imo

its just not really that special

[vital venture]

So 90% of games

[quiet abyss]

but what i really want is a 40k game with tanks

[vital venture]

Sorry 99%

[quiet abyss]

i want cool tank combat

i want to command a tank

[uneven sapphire]

[quiet abyss]

i want it to be co-op and singleplayer, so like arcade sp for people with no friends

and then co-op

for people with friends

[vital venture]

The 40k nerds require 40k war thunder

[quiet abyss]

so that you actually have to work together

no war thunder sucks balls

because its not co-op

in the way i want

i want a tank crew to consist of people

[oblique belfry]

wait WHAT

[quiet abyss]

and also a more singleplayer tank gameplay mode too

[oblique belfry]

RIOT DID ANOTHER LAYOFF ?

[halcyon fossil]

yeah

[vital venture]

Sounds like something that would have to be a vr game

[left mantle]

yeah that already happened.

[oblique belfry]

bruh

[quiet abyss]

nah fuck vr

im not paying tons of money for a vr headset

[left mantle]

we've had this discussion already

[quiet abyss]

i just want a tank game with a baneblade

or smth

[oblique belfry]

"The game has resonated with a passionate core audience, but overall momentum hasn’t reached the level needed to support a team of this size long term."

actually delusional

did they really expect fortnite type success

in day 1

[little depot]

Idk wh y the nerfed morg jungle

[vital venture]

I mean it seems cool but being a gunner just sitting there holding left click sounds borish even if it was in 40k

[oblique belfry]

🥀

[slim magnet]

ye talked about this earlier today

it's crazy

10 years in the oven

3 weeks of life

it at least outlived concord

[vital venture]

2XKO... google time

[slim magnet]

but shit was grim since years before 1.0

[quiet abyss]

‘Rampage!’ no longer makes the player “exhausted” after use, the ability now simply ends

im sorry

WHAT?

thats fucking crazy

[oblique belfry]

[quiet abyss]

hive scum buff is huge

[slim magnet]

it has always been a 2v2 game with 8 characters

what the fuck is that

forced 2v2 with 8 characters

[worn echo]

hive scum got buff ?

[slim magnet]

then they said

[vital venture]

Idk why hive scum was already pretty peak

[slim magnet]

you know what we're releasing it as is and it'll get content down the line

[worn echo]

nah rocket was mid

[vital venture]

Unless rampage specifically was ass

[slim magnet]

fucking idiots

now the fg industry died

[copper vapor]

I think I commented the other day that 4 of those 8 characters are locked

[slim magnet]

because of poor management and surreal expectations

[oblique belfry]

avg riot fumble

[vital venture]

@quiet abyss as a rocket user how does this make you feel

[oblique belfry]

ever since this new ceo

[worn echo]

rockets awesome now

[oblique belfry]

its been going up and down

[copper vapor]

here: #╟❓general-offtopic message

12 characters
6 are locked

[worn echo]

but used to only be 2 charges and just got beat by krak lol

[oblique belfry]

yep

because every riot games has """"progression"""""""

where you unlock playable characters with ingame currency you earn through leveling up / doing missions

[quiet abyss]

me when i lie

as of now its as good as chem nade

or maybe even better in some cases

[teal spade]

Being a tank commander in 40k, tho... That's peak gameplay. You get to control a tank AND do melee strings too

[worn echo]

was

[oblique belfry]

valorant has agents
league has champs
lor has cards

[worn echo]

was thats important

[oblique belfry]

i think the only pure free game is tft

[quiet abyss]

anyways, scum has been buffed

big time

and it was already like top 3 classes

[oblique belfry]

which is props why its their most popular / successful game

[worn echo]

https://tenor.com/view/wall-gif-24534315

[quiet abyss]

overall

[vital venture]

I think trench warfare guardsmen HD2 like would be peak

[slim magnet]

thing is now the fg industry like died for real tho

[vital venture]

But im also guardsmen biased

[slim magnet]

nrs fucked up three times in a row

[vital venture]

I luv me guardsmen

[slim magnet]

last time it was crazy bad

[quiet abyss]

but it better have better impact feel, because hd2 is missing that tbh

[slim magnet]

capcom has no goodwill

[oblique belfry]

what about sf6 ?

[slim magnet]

arcsys produces and publishes exclusively dogshit

[quiet abyss]

it needs more mouth feel

[copper vapor]

momo hates sf6 for some reason

[left mantle]

I have this sunk cost fallacy argument on why league champs shouldn't need to be unlocked with people all the fuckin time.

This shit still fuckin boggles me since I came from dota

[slim magnet]

tekken died last month

[oblique belfry]

huh

i heard it was decent

[copper vapor]

yea

[slim magnet]

it is

i didn't say i hated sf6

[copper vapor]

mk11 was also decent, dunno about nrs fucking up 3 times in a row

[slim magnet]

capcom doesn't have any goodwill with the scene

[copper vapor]

mkx was bleh

mk1 is awful

[worn echo]

i thought tekken 8 was insufferable ?,

[copper vapor]

mk11 was aight

[worn echo]

thats all I hear about it lol

[oblique belfry]

i also agree on league

but on valorant i dont

because valo has like what 20 agents now ?

[left mantle]

I don't agree on either.

[oblique belfry]

in league it would be super overwhelming

[copper vapor]

isn't having a good game enough

[left mantle]

I think locking characters behind a progression wall is fucking stupid.

[copper vapor]

can people just not forget about sfv

[oblique belfry]

actually now that i think about it

[slim magnet]

but like okay whatever nrs might have not fucked up 3 times in a row doesn't matter

the thing is that which publisher

[oblique belfry]

valorant can be overwhelming too

[slim magnet]

or investor

[vital venture]

Imagine getting shot in the head cause you walked out of bounds for 0.2 nanoseconds

[oblique belfry]

its good that game has it as well

[slim magnet]

would want to bet on a fighting game

when riot

out of all game developers

[oblique belfry]

because overwatch has all heroes unlocked iirc

[slim magnet]

couldn't handle a FREE fighting game

[oblique belfry]

hence new players are having a hard time

picking a champ they like

[slim magnet]

based on one of the biggest ips in the gaming industry

[left mantle]

You'll still have that same issue later down the line.

[slim magnet]

it's a horrendous precedent

[left mantle]

Overwhelming isn't a reason to force "progression" when that progression takes literally hundreds of hours.

[vital venture]

Having a small fighting roster with a game based in lol in general is already fucking wild

[oblique belfry]

yep

[quiet abyss]

Imagine different roles in a squad, like commissar and shit

[slim magnet]

this has been everyone's take since they showed it off in riot's 10th anniversary stream

[quiet abyss]

Different ranks

[left mantle]

It makes no sense to me to lock characters like that.

[little depot]

I think we need more champs with onhit passives

[bitter spire]

We have a problem

[left mantle]

Alright time for bed

[bitter spire]

Age verification

[vital venture]

I mean im not a fighting game player but its still just wild

[bitter spire]

How do i bypass this fuck shit

[oblique belfry]

"but what if they try new champs on ranked 😱 "

Do we have any idea when sm3 is out

Yet

[oblique belfry]

isnt level 30 like at least 50 hours btw

and this is a merciful number

[bitter spire]

I like being in this community and the ones IM not supposed to be in as well

[slim magnet]

or less than a dollar

[bitter spire]

I dont want that to change

[slim magnet]

just buy a lv30 account

Oh Jesus christ still got 2-3 years or so prob

[slim magnet]

they're hilariously cheap

[oblique belfry]

we are solely talking about for "new accounts"

lets include the seller's pov too

[slim magnet]

and they let you skip the like entire irl month it takes to get to lv30

[bitter spire]

No, im 34 as of january

[slim magnet]

manually

[slim magnet]

sellers bot

you know that

[left mantle]

people forget these fucking stopgaps didn't exist for dota until they added it for the first 25 matches and first timing a character wasn't this fucking constant issue.

[oblique belfry]

lets imagine being taco on his first day

[left mantle]

Moreso than it happens in league

[oblique belfry]

bro downloaded league

said "wtf is this tutorial"

tried a few champs

liked fiddle

[little depot]

League tutorial is so goated tho

[oblique belfry]

dropped the game

[little depot]

It teaches you absolutely nothing

[slim magnet]

yeah the current tutorial is fantastic

[bitter spire]

Theyre smarter than that, the ai is too good

[little depot]

And it's so bad

[slim magnet]

dude it does teach you shit

i unironically think league's new tutorial is good

[left mantle]

It teaches you the barebones

[little depot]

Like what how to auto attack towers?

[oblique belfry]

"barebones" is putting it lightly

[slim magnet]

also lets you use champions of different classes to try them out and get a general idea

shit's great

[vital venture]

League tutorial argument in offtopic

[oblique belfry]

it literally just teaches you controls. Thats it

[vital venture]

[slim magnet]

like should it teach you fully how to play the dude you picked

[bitter spire]

Bro is no one worried about this?

[slim magnet]

should it teach you fully how to idk

fucking orb walk

how to effectively ward

[left mantle]

You can literally use gmod for this shit

[oblique belfry]

basic game knowledge would be great

[slim magnet]

how to effectively clear the jungle

[vital venture]

We accepted we are going to hell long ago

Also that

[oblique belfry]

iirc the tutorial still uses double top lane

[bitter spire]

I dont have that tho

[slim magnet]

it gives you that

[bitter spire]

Too expensive

[left mantle]

then find a video of someone doing it and use a digital camera

[bitter spire]

Just use a video of a video lol

[left mantle]

also gmod? expensive?

[oblique belfry]

its very dumbed down tho

[slim magnet]

but then again

like

[oblique belfry]

"you see enemy bar ? you atak"

[slim magnet]

i insist

should it teach you to orb walk

[bitter spire]

Yeah, half life was literally free not to long back

[slim magnet]

should it teach you to freeze the lane

[bitter spire]

Gmod doesnt even have a story and they still want money for it

[slim magnet]

should it teach you to reset autoattacks to move while you push

for a fresh player

[left mantle]

Nah that's gotta be bait

[oblique belfry]

mechanical skills should be at least told at least in a guide somewhere in the game

like a note / page whatever

[bitter spire]

Whatever man, can someone send me a picture of themselves to use

Or video or whatver ill delete it afterwrds

[left mantle]

mod, this man right here is pulling a discord.

[oblique belfry]

the game shouldn't rely on the fact that people can just "look it up on google"

[left mantle]

he claims he will delete the image, I cannot trust him to do so

[slim magnet]

and it doesn't

yes it's out of the way

[bitter spire]

You just described f&h btw

[slim magnet]

but champion pages are there

there's the practice tool to try out the character

[oblique belfry]

im talking gameplay mechanics like you said

orb walking

aa canceling

freezing lane

[slim magnet]

yeah and i mentioned those because you don't teach that to new players

imagine

lmfao

should the gta online tutorial teach you how to middrive and brake boost

[oblique belfry]

and rn im talking about the fact that those should be included for those new players

not because they have to 100% learn it

but lets say they enjoy the game

and they wanna improve themselfs

what do they got besides champ pages

[slim magnet]

google like literally any game fucking ever??

[oblique belfry]

Which is why i said this

[bitter spire]

Fear and hunger

[vital venture]

In every game if you wanna Hella improve the tutorial will never give you all the tech

[slim magnet]

literally that

[oblique belfry]

it shouldnt just 100% rely on "muh google"

[slim magnet]

lmfao what the fuck is that

[left mantle]

Doge you want stuff that's never going in any game's tutorial

[slim magnet]

the tutorial should have you come in to the cave as a baby and then come out as adult zeus like in that god of war 2 cutscene

[left mantle]

That shit isn't basic mechs.

[slim magnet]

what is that

[vital venture]

Tutorials job is to make it were you can play the game, it isnt to turn you into the next shroud

Sadly

[oblique belfry]

im just saying. I still think league is not that new player friendly

[slim magnet]

doom eternal has fantastic tutorial sections

[oblique belfry]

[slim magnet]

none of them tell you about ANY of the tech everyone uses

like mod swaps

[left mantle]

It's as new player friendly as it can get without making a new player wanna kill themselves.

[vital venture]

I wish I could play the tutorial and turn into irl doom slayer

[slim magnet]

punch cancelling

punch boosting

bunny hopping

[vital venture]

Would be peak

[oblique belfry]

quickscoping

[slim magnet]

stagger chains

nothing

[oblique belfry]

gun swapping

[slim magnet]

and the tutorials are fantastic

[oblique belfry]

some movement techs i forgot about atm

[left mantle]

Having a tutorial on freezing lane would infact drive someone to not want to play.

[copper vapor]

does quickscoping even need a tutorial

[slim magnet]

clearing jungle effectively and reach the scuttle crab in time

[vital venture]

I think trying to teach a new player the hardest tech in the tutorial would be fucking hilarious though

[copper vapor]

[left mantle]

Because it's useless information until you actually need it

[oblique belfry]

well there is a whole ass codex page about quickscope then swapping guns so

i guess ?

[left mantle]

Which a new player won't need

[vital venture]

Imagine not being able to play the actual game cause you couldn't do some niche tech that you would only ever use once

[copper vapor]

the new heroes of might & magic game has a 'challenge' section in the tutorial with some pretty hard shit

[slim magnet]

killer instinct has the best tutorial i've ever seen in a fighting game and yet it doesn't say anywhere that you can freestyle combos with jago

[copper vapor]

codex page about quickscoping?

[oblique belfry]

guess im hard boiled with the amount of toxicity this game has to the point i just think new players needs to learn every new tech so they dont get bullied

[vital venture]

I meann describing a game of might and magic is kinda funny tbf

[oblique belfry]

ye

[slim magnet]

despite the tutorial having you play as jago all the way through

[copper vapor]

isn't it just right click left click lmao

why is there a codex page

[oblique belfry]

no there is an actual codex page on tutorials section

i remember it precisely

seeing it on stage 2

[left mantle]

I gurantee you.

A silver is not gonna tell me I should be freezing wave.

Because that mf doesn't know how to do it either

[oblique belfry]

[slim magnet]

mf doesn't even know the concept exists

[oblique belfry]

guess thats fair

[left mantle]

You need to realize shit like freezing wave, orb walking, etc is not relevant to someone just starting out because the people they face won't know them either.

[oblique belfry]

unless they are a smurf like 50% of silvers

[carmine laurel]

wild rift makes a billion dollars a year tho

[oblique belfry]

which is why i find this funny

[slim magnet]

but exclusively from china

the rest of the world is dead

[vital venture]

Rich 25 players

[left mantle]

50% of silvers are people who play like 8 games a day after work or school

[quiet abyss]

No, since sm2 is still live and well, and sm3 is gonna be big, so its gonna take at least 2-3 more years i bet

[oblique belfry]

asia is bankrolling WR rn

same with tft

actually

[vital venture]

They announced they are working on it and people speculate that long because of it

[oblique belfry]

back in may ? or june ?

[vital venture]

4 year creation for sm2

[oblique belfry]

mortdog said TFT was their most played game

dunno if its still the case

[vital venture]

So same for 3 makes sense

[left mantle]

it probably is

[quiet abyss]

I doubt that sm3 will be expedient

[left mantle]

TFT is pretty accessible from all points

[quiet abyss]

Sm2 is how old?

[oblique belfry]

being able to play the game both on mobile and pc on the same session is a huge save

[quiet abyss]

Wasnt it like 2024?

So 2-3 more years checks out

If 4 years

[carmine laurel]

people who act like riot is struggling are just delusional about the actual popularity of their stuff

[vital venture]

Sep 2024 yes

[oblique belfry]

they are too busy buying yachts

[left mantle]

It doesn't require insane reaction speeds, extremely detailed information about every character, and you can get by having fun games without doing too much macro

[quiet abyss]

So its only a year and a few months old

[oblique belfry]

laying off 2xko team now

[quiet abyss]

Sm2 is still early in life for a game of its nature

Its got 2 more years of support left minimum

[vital venture]

Counterpoint sm3 could have usable terminators

So I need it now

[quiet abyss]

We will probably get a librarian or apothecary before its all over

And possibly terminator

[vital venture]

I still think that while techmarine is cool it took way too long to come out

[quiet abyss]

2 years is a while, we got 1 class confirmed in the first year or so since launch

Not released

[vital venture]

Thought we would get the class in 2025

Got it in 2026

[quiet abyss]

But if it follows that pattern we get 1-2 more

I mean they had to get a voice actor, program it, animate it, and so on

[green granite]

So

[quiet abyss]

Its also got new weapons for it, they had to make and remodel new heroics

[oblique belfry]

literally this :
-This trait does this. Here are its champs.
-Here have 3 random augments that varies from simple gold to wacky stuff
-Better the rarity. Better the champ (mostly )
-You buy champ more then once. You upgrade. Shrimple.

[quiet abyss]

Lots of shit for patch 12

[green granite]

You arent real if you aren't:

• having rule34 art of you
• on epstein file

Hm

[vital venture]

What

[quiet abyss]

[oblique belfry]

the only "skill" tft requires is knowing what item does what

[quiet abyss]

Wut

[oblique belfry]

and who would it go on

[oblique belfry]

which the game even has its own "role" tab where it recommends items for it

[quiet abyss]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/808725050684342272/1435731659311026318/media-iv-text.gif

[left mantle]

well higher end tft requires more thinking on how you're spending the gold and when but yeah.

[oblique belfry]

even so

[left mantle]

It's not a lot compared to a league game

[oblique belfry]

thats the base tft experience

[vital venture]

Does this mean I need to make a commission to become real?

[oblique belfry]

you can literally understand how tft works

in the span of 10-20 mins

[vital venture]

If so

Id rather not

[left mantle]

This is why we let dota have custom modes

[slim magnet]

you must spend $5 so that we can make sure you're not a bot

[left mantle]

we get gems like this

[oblique belfry]

cue that domino effect

where dota made auto chess

[left mantle]

that make it to other games

[vital venture]

https://tenor.com/view/fall-falling-fallen-kingdom-fallen-kingdom-gif-6774652182841014167

[oblique belfry]

and because of that league making their own "limited time mode"

autochess

[copper vapor]

can we have another game make the equivalent of Overthrow from dota 2 arcade pls

[oblique belfry]

what is overthrow

[copper vapor]

kinda like a team brawl in an open map with no lanes
passive (and fast) gpm and xppm
a goblin at the center of the map tosses coins around, whoever picks it up gets a huge boost in xp and gold

so the game revolves around grabbing the coins to outlevel and outfarm the other teams

team that reaches 30(or 50, configurable) kills wins

matches last like 5 minutes

it's hella fun

[oblique belfry]

[copper vapor]

and there's more than 2 teams

[slim magnet]

kinda want to play through manhunt but without using firearms

[copper vapor]

there were several variants

[oblique belfry]

i think closest thing we got to this was brawl

[copper vapor]

5 teams of 2
4 teams of 3
3 teams of 5

[green granite]

@oblique belfry why are you not fighting Cyberstan

[oblique belfry]

dont wanna

also it would crash my gpu again

Treason... then?

[oblique belfry]

.

[green granite]

Not an excuse for managed democracy

[oblique belfry]

yeah this is arena and brawl mixed together
without augments

[copper vapor]

holy shit overthrow had free for all

[green granite]

Anyway

Its so cold rn

Brrr

[oblique belfry]

arena being the multiple teams
and brawl being the tdm

[green granite]

Right now it is uh

[oblique belfry]

and minions / xp in middle

[vital venture]

If I ever upgrade my gpu im gonna send the 4070ti to doge just to watch it get stolen in transit

[oblique belfry]

i need a whole ass pc mane

[green granite]

16 degree celcius?

[vital venture]

[oblique belfry]

mobo dont support that

[green granite]

Gawd daym

[green granite]

You send 4070ti

Doge received a rock

[oblique belfry]

eugh

[green granite]

Also Im pretty sure

Ppl are stealing RAM and GPU from displaying computers in shopping area

And store

[vital venture]

Students steal ram from the school pcs

Im not surprised

[copper vapor]

@oblique belfry skip to 2:05 and just watch the next 20 secs
it's a glorious mess
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSNr8xz0KPo

[green granite]

You know

Maybe dude predicted it

[oblique belfry]

[copper vapor]

3 mins of game purple team rubick got a rampage

[oblique belfry]

[chrome ginkgo]

When multiple Vox Engines are on the field at the same time

[vital venture]

I hate when im jokingly predicting how much people steal shit in the US

[copper vapor]

man I miss overthrow

oh well.

time to go to sleep and dream about it

[vital venture]

I wanna do the cyberstan stuff

But I prob wont get to until thursday

[copper vapor]

best thing was picking a random hero and dunking on the tryhards who picked shit like slark

[vital venture]

[uneven sapphire]

You know you can kill rhem with med pen?

[chrome ginkgo]

That don't matter, the point is if you end up with multiple that's a game over situation

[green granite]

You know why we could not have nice things?

Cuz some asshole did it

[chrome ginkgo]

One is manageable, two is awful, three is wipe scenario

[uneven sapphire]

Eh just use the bastion

[chrome ginkgo]

And that's not to say it's a bad thing

Nothing else is actually that threatening in this

[uneven sapphire]

2 out of 3 super helldives are no extract anyways

[vital venture]

Ive seen clips of people using the shield to bait them close

So they can walk under them and shoot their back with big lmg

[uneven sapphire]

Tho the vox engine isn’t their strongest unit

[vital venture]

Curious to see how people learn to kill the big fucks

[uneven sapphire]

It’s just a cyborg in a tank

[uneven sapphire]

The glowing vent ports are kinda obvious

😋

[vital venture]

Of course

[uneven sapphire]

Or the tank

It can 2 hit them

[chrome ginkgo]

tbh just use a railgun, 3 pops to the upper vents to open the hatch

[vital venture]

But if 3 is a wipe condition they gonna learn to kill them more efficiently like every enemy eventually does

[chrome ginkgo]

And destroy the undervent if you need to limit its mobility

cause it can be a little hard to toss a grenade in while it's moving full speed forward

[vital venture]

The railgun meta returns

[uneven sapphire]

Leveler plus orbital laser

[vital venture]

Can't wait to see people get kicked cause they dont wanna use the railgun again

[chrome ginkgo]

3 charged (Safe) shots from the railgun pops all 3 vents needed

But you can also just volley fire double freedom at each vent too

6 shotgun shells to kill a vox isn't that bad

[uneven sapphire]

I just use the med pen smg

With the Chinese armor

[vital venture]

Despite the wide amount of complaining the railgun nerf was prob needed

Its everything else that mightve been overdoing it

[shrewd gull]

Seems like fucking MPV players artificially added that desync on all my videos, nowhere else do they exist; youtube, VLC, Kdenlive..

[uneven sapphire]

Tho it was revealed on helldivers dc that

The 70mil reinforcements was a blessing

[vital venture]

I like the simple dmr that you get in the free warbond

I think ti was that warbond

[uneven sapphire]

Diligence counter sniper?

[vital venture]

Id need to check prob tbh

[uneven sapphire]

It’s green

[vital venture]

Sounds right

Ik its not the special weapon sniper

I like it cause decently accurate and can one tap the robots heads

Simple gun

My load out has been really simple in hd2 recently

[slim magnet]

man why did the hair saloon lady give me a pixie cut dude

i should've just insisted on the wolf cut

even if it was kinda making my hair weak and damaged

damn it looks good

pixie is too basic

boyish even

[vital venture]

Recoiless, walking barrage, jet bombs, and mines, prob could change mines to mortars or the sentries but im horrible at using them right

[slim magnet]

thankfully my hair grows oddly fast

[shrewd gull]

Pixie cut is good 😠

[slim magnet]

i mean yeah

not quite my style

and too boyish

[vital venture]

Me having grown my hair out 3 years and needing to get a haircut to get it to the same length seeing this

[slim magnet]

like i don't really mind that much to be honest

[vital venture]

God I really need to get a fuckin haircut

[shrewd gull]

I'm letting my hair grow now, will see what haircut I'll eventually get

[vital venture]

Im still letting mine grow

Really need to get it cut so uniform though

Think I have parts that might genuinely be 2-3 inches taller then other strands

Should add it to the list of shit to do Friday

[green granite]

I have been getting crew cut for like last 7 years ish

[green granite]

I really cant handle anything longer anymore

[vital venture]

Or I could play nioh 3

[verbal gate]

Inb4 ♻️ https://youtu.be/0t60KHQiwB4

[green granite]

Is it good?

I saw it and was gonna give it a try

[vital venture]

Only played 3 hours

My duo refuses to fucking text me

The jackass

If you liked the other nioh games then you will like it though

Interesting additions though (in a good way)
