uneven wren
#

but the game became way too easy

inland pawn
#

^

minor flame
#

should see the current update MapleStory

#

game becomes easy for like 1-170

#

then bosses start coming in

night tusk
#

GLA ... Shanghai EZ clap , Tor Kappa and London 4-0

#

london hou is in 2 days, my bad

uneven wren
#

houston gonna get rekt by london

inland pawn
#

i swear all the chengdu games are the last match of the day except for last week

uneven wren
#

well there is some logic to that

night tusk
#

time for china

minor flame
#

Houston is like only good for escort maps

#

and any other map they are apparently

#

pepega tier

night tusk
#

OMG FRAGI

inland pawn
#

just pepega tier in general

night tusk
#

well tommorow will be boring.. 90% sure defiant will not suprise us. not even close match... but Boston can have maybe a map zaryalul

worn hornet
#

so...that symm cosplayer's "website" link on her twitter profile goes to pornhub

supple prism
#

hopefully boston makes it interesting against glads but i doubt it

worn hornet
#

I'm hoping for the upset since I think a loss puts them out of stage playoffs

supple prism
#

who

worn hornet
#

Uprising over Glads

supple prism
#

glads are 6-0 right now

minor flame
#

hope for a upset sure but Boston are like

#

decent

#

thats about it

supple prism
#

boston is 2-3

#

so its not a deciding game

#

boston will at best finish 9th probably and that is if they 4-0 both games

worn hornet
#

I don't think they're quite mathematically out of it yet

supple prism
#

no but its stacked against them

worn hornet
#

it just requires an 8-0 weekend and a ton of luck regarding the other matches

supple prism
#

8-0 and val has to beat hunters

#

shock, titans, glad, nyxl, spitfire, fuel, dynasty, hunters is my current guess in that order

minor flame
#

Hangzhou v Seoul is dependent on their match

#

and im really fuckin hoping Hangzhou wins

supple prism
#

i doubt it since they barely beat teams much weaker than Seoul

stark salmon
#

At least SanFranciscoShock made it into the playoffs again (for this year)

#

I just hope they don't end up going against VancouverTitans again

slow walrus
#

they probably will

#

I see both of them going all the way

stark salmon
#

Maybe Stage 3 will be SanFranciscoShock 🆚 VancouverTitans in the playoffs finals :3

#

I still wonder if SanFranciscoShock will do well against some of the other teams that are guranteed to get into the playoffs for stage 2

#

Which are LondonSpitfire NewYorkExcelsior LosAngelesGladiators

upper niche
#

Don't forget that SFS got absolutely mobbed by NYXL in stage 1.

#

At the current rate the semis would be SFS vs NYXL and VAN vs GLA

#

Having said that though, it's an elimination final system, not a bracket final system. So a single loss by any of the top 4 teams in the first round completely throws it all out the window.

echo quest
#

@supple prism anything can happen Seoul dropped two maps to LAV

minor flame
#

LAV still has some very good players you shouldnt underestimate though

#

And Seoul is coherently more weak on aggression since they benched Fissure

primal ibex
#

i feel like as long as goats is meta, sfs will do well

tawny thorn
#

i feel like they're one of the best teams no matter the meta

#

if it goes back to dps they have an all star lineup

minor flame
#

Theyll fall off a bit when it comes to dps meta

holy shit rascal is insane

#

I was just watching him pop off yesterday and he is so good at baptiste

echo quest
#

Depends what dps honestly if tracer ever comes back they have striker chilling on the bench

minor flame
#

But Sinatraa exists

#

Arent both of them tracer one tricks or smth

slender lance
#

i was thinking the same thing

#

i think if tracer is meta they will use sinatraa

#

because of the synergy

little silo
#

who would be shocks widow

#

striker architect or someone else

slender lance
#

rascal is a pretty good widow

#

maybe striker

minor flame
#

Shock is pretty all over the place with dps

#

Alot of em are specialists

tawny thorn
#

for sure

#

sinatraa is like their poster boy too

#

they wont take him off tracer even if striker is better

#

he might be perma benched

slender lance
#

chances are they will use striker for widow or tracer if they feel he is better

#

i dont think sinatraa is a perma starter

swift moth
#

i think they will use striker on tracer and sinatraa on zarya

#

or something like that

#

and also super seems to be more of their poster boy

#

in my opinion

tawny thorn
#

he's definitely blown up yeah

little silo
#

i wonder what theyre gonna do with smurf

#

remember that guy

swift moth
#

probably trade him

little silo
#

yeah probably

#

But who would want him

#

maybe the justice?

tawny thorn
#

werent they starting him over super a lot at first

swift moth
#

yeah

#

the justice would want him

little silo
#

i think they just tried them both and realised that it worked out better with Super

tawny thorn
#

they have jjanus tho

#

apparently they paid a lottttttt of money for him

swift moth
#

lol

little silo
#

Janus hasnt been making waves so far

swift moth
#

thats true

little silo
#

But Im not sure if thats because of him or because the Justice was trash so far

#

What about Nevix

swift moth
#

i think justice trade corey or jjanus

little silo
#

Justice need a better offtank to have a decent roster

swift moth
#

you want the zarya rein synergy

little silo
#

And Nevix isnt playing over Choi

#

Justice dont really have a lot of synergy

swift moth
#

its all about synergy in goats

tawny thorn
#

do u not think

#

given more time

swift moth
#

thats why sado is playying over fragi, because sado has better synergy with carpe

tawny thorn
#

the justice roster is strong enough now to be a mid tier team?

little silo
#

Yes but I think that Sansam should be repaced

tawny thorn
#

their support line is nuts

little silo
#

Sleepy Ark Ado and Janus sound pretty scary

#

Corey is good on dps but not on Zarya

swift moth
#

they should get a zarya

#

so that they can use corey like linksr

little silo
#

but who

swift moth
#

bring him in for some dps and then put him away

tawny thorn
#

bring him in for 1 min of dps and then have him play brig

#

feelsbad

echo quest
#

@slender lance no they wont sinatraa wasn’t even the best western tracer striker was 1b to sbb

little silo
#

I honestly think striker was better than sbb

#

Sbb just had the better team

swift moth
#

boston is a weird ass team

echo quest
#

To be fair sbb kinda styled on Boston in the stage 3 finals

little silo
#

Yes but the entirety of NY did

tawny thorn
#

what are ur opinions on the allstar rosters

#

pine lul

little silo
#

Guxue and Ameng is a weird tank line

minor flame
#

Striker individually is on par with SBB

echo quest
#

Ameng can play dva

#

He did that in county

little silo
#

Winston Hammond is decent

echo quest
#

Contenders

pearl stratus
#

Also people are being dumb.

#

And thinking All Stars is taken seriously.

#

When its not.

#

They'll play Winston + Hammond if they feel like it. It's arcade.

little silo
#

Yeah but no one wants to see Ameng play Dva over Hammond

#

They will do random stuff

pearl stratus
#

Did people not watch the All-stars last year?

#

They literally played 6 dps for a while.

little silo
#

I mean that team is mainly Chengdu anyways

pearl stratus
#

There's also a lot more people on the teeam.

#

Thats just the fan favorite votes.

little silo
#

is mickie in for all stars

pearl stratus
#

If he didn't make the popular vote I doubt it.

pearl stratus
#

Popular vote gets alot of useless bench people into games.

#

Like Pine.

Yveltal got in right

#

Im surprised

Didnt think Yveltal was that pop

Hes a attractive looking man

#

Thats probably why

Yveltal?

#

Probably the least attractive man on Chengdu

He isn't attractive

Nah..unless ur talking about someone mentioning inmortals looking for a stake in optic gaming

tawny thorn

could have been that

trim shadow
#

Ooo wait immortals owns valiant

#

Then yea kinda

tawny thorn
#

would be kinda cool if they merged the teams or something

#

make a better western roster

trim shadow
#

F for grimreality Numlocked..what happened to them

#

Ooo grim retired

slender lance
#

Numlocked is on British hurricane it thought

trim shadow
#

Wonder if hell make it back to owl

little silo
#

Considering how successful British Hurricane are rn he probably will

trim shadow
#

I wouldnt be suprised if most of british hurricane gets owl offers

slender lance
#

What team would need players from the British hurricane

balmy wolf
#

Paris.

#

They should pick up Hafficool.

#

In fact while we're at it why don't Paris just pick up all of BH and make them their starters.

#

Except Greyy > Bock1

#

there was an allstar game last year was like 5 koreans + custa, they didnt even communicate with custa

How random

#

Spark going to die next year

#

For what reason

fallen cloak
#

never watched contenders

#

but just found out theres a player on angry titans with the same name as me

#

and the same main as me

#

just thought that was cool

vagrant cargo
#

@balmy wolf SDB>dannedd imo

#

Also Paris should Pick Up ellivote or hafficool i agree

#

And spectral

#

Spectral is the best EU DPS

echo quest
#

@full field ?

trim shadow
#

Paris should trade ben and pick up numlocked tbh

jagged crater

but where will ben go?

trim shadow

Why does eu contenders have terrible names

Hafficool?

Df is that

@jagged crater valiant or boston

@trim shadow what would LAV do with with benbest?

minor flame
#

Be worse

trim shadow

Use em for goats

#

Better then fate on rein

limber pine

LAV's issues won't be solved with a new main tank

echo quest
#

Ok bruh

#

Lmao

trim shadow
#

Probably not

vagrant cargo
#

Fate is a Big Problem tho

trim shadow
#

But they have to make a move player wise

vagrant cargo
#

Also benbest doesnt deserve to be in OWL so far

trim shadow
#

And that juicy trade with boston cucked them@hard

#

It isn’t mechanically he seems disjointed from the rest of the team

#

Idk why

vagrant cargo

minor flame
#

Kariv LAV seems strong

#

Then again Kariv is p identical to Izayaki

#

Individually

#

Paris needs a zarya Player tho

#

And a top Tier offtank

#

That are their Main Problems

little silo
#

îm kinda glad that krystal didnt get traded to boston

echo quest
#

Like his mechanics are some of the best in the league but then he goes in by himself or is out of position. Maybe the rumour of fate wanting an all Korean team is true

minor flame
#

Trading Krystal to Boston would be dumb af

little silo
#

it was rumored

echo quest
#

Just saying adora has an 18% we

#

Wr

minor flame
#

Adora has 37%

#

?

echo quest
#

For stage 2

minor flame
#

Spark better not do this shit again against Seoul

#

It could literally lose them a series

echo quest
#

The thing is adora doesn’t even play on control where you would play pharah

#

He plays on 2cp idk why

little silo
#

it almost lost them the series against paris

trim shadow
#

Krystal getting traded wouldve doomed boston

vagrant cargo
#

Paris choked so hard against Hangzhou

#

Its so sad

echo quest
#

Spark*

trim shadow
#

Hangzhou not boston*

#

Im@still angry about valiant jumping the deal the day of finalization

#

And now asking isnt even playing contenders

vagrant cargo
#

I mean Boston would have absolutely robbed Valiant with that trade

#

Fusions is a rein otp that gets overrated tbh

echo quest
#

That would have a been a dumbass trade by LAV

vagrant cargo
#

Yes

echo quest
#

Fate probably leaves end of season which I’m sad to see tbh

#

Hope he goes to philly

pearl stratus
#

I like how the sub reddit now thinks 2/2/2 for pro play should be locked.

So many parents just went to town with vodka while pregnant.

Doing preg-stands.

2/2/2 for comp

jagged crater

#

what happen

#

has the synergy been lost

supple prism
#

I at least want some way to stop people from filling, if that means 2-2-2 then fine

pearl stratus
#

I'm talking people wanting it for OWL.

#

To remove goats.

Some smooth brained planned parenthood poster children think that 2/2/2 should be in the OWL.

vagrant niche
#

Hey, i have a legit question

#

Since Shangai got another D.Va player

#

and if Geguri was SOOOOOOO good at Zarya, why she hasn't been playing that role?

karmic grotto
#

Diem is better

#

Geguri is just there for PR

vagrant niche
#

so she is not the Zarya "GOD" people claimed her to be

#

rumors turned into exaggerations it seems, not her fault

#

cause it wouldn't make sense to bench a talented zarya on this meta

gaunt acorn
#

she was a zarya god

#

just like 2 years ago

#

when she got her reputation

vagrant niche
#

then why she's not playing then if she's a zarya god?

gaunt acorn
#

why isn't zunba playing

#

because off-tank in this meta means d.va

#

zarya is for the dps players

#

except spree, but don't look at outlaws for good management

vagrant niche
#

if she's is so good and will carry you with her skill, you put her on dps

#

this meta is very goats dependent still

#

clearly, she is not as good as other Zarya's right now otherwise she wouldn't be benched

#

the lady can't live to exaggerated rumors and I can understand that

gaunt acorn
#

i didn't make that point

#

i said 2 years ago she was considered a zarya god

#

and accused of cheating

#

nowadays things have changed, sure

little silo
#

shanghai runs more dps comps than other teams

pearl stratus
#

You put her on DPS if you're a smooth brained baboon.

#

Like so much of reddit / this channel is.

#

"Lets have two spots on our roster that can't flex at all"

#

Super A+ idea.

vagrant niche
#

i'm just thinking that if she could carry so hard, it would outweigh the not flexibility of the dps role she fills in

pearl stratus
#

No. Thats a plat chat argument. Bad. ]

#

Stop that.

#

Get your SR up.

#

Get better thoughts.

#

Bad.

#

Also just as a tangent its a different way to play Zarya, so thats not always translative.

#

Look at like...

#

Carpe.

#

Just as good a DPS as so many others.

#

Plays Zarya like a potato with brain damage.

vagrant niche
#

uh

#

but if Geguri plays a God like zarya

#

what is the issue?

#

that she can't flex to widow etc?

pearl stratus
#

She can't flex to anything. Literally anything.

#

She plays D'va, Zarya and some hamster but Gamsu plays it better.

#

So if you drop anything to flex she's just being rotated back onto the D'va.

vagrant niche
#

so basically, she's not that good then

pearl stratus
#

She's very good, she's not very good for this meta. There's a massive difference.

#

Is Carpe good?

#

Is EQO good?

vagrant niche
#

isn't Carpe number one on solo kills?

pearl stratus
#

Because they're both shit at this meta.

#

Like dumpster fire shit.

#

Huge piles of shit.

vagrant niche
#

they are worse than LA?

pearl stratus
#

Individually for the heroes they have to play?

#

Carpe is a worse Zarya than KSF. Agilities is a worse Brig than Eqo.

#

Adjusting your playstyle to fit into Goats doesn't magically mean the players aren't good anymore, just inflexible.

#

We all made fun of Sinatraa for his dps hero pool in Season 1.

#

he figured out how to play Zarya from OWWC -> Season 2.

#

And now he's arguably the best Zarya in the world.

#

The second it goes back to strict DPS?

#

He's benched for Striker.

#

He's already said it.

#

Doesn't mean he's bad, means his tools don't fit the meta.

#

If we went back to a more strict composition team of say... Dive.

#

Geguri would be back on D'va.

#

It's part of why Shanghai, Vancouver, Shock look so smooth lately. They can cover all of it with multiple people. They're relatively meta-resilient.

#

NYXL I left out intentionally, because they still sometimes get confused as fuck when things get weird.

#

They play the meta very well but we'll see how it goes further and if they repeat Stage 4 of Season 1 playing Dive into Brigitte.

vagrant niche
#

btw

#

when is zen going to be out of meta same with lucio

#

i remember people bitched a lot about mercy, understandable

#

but i been saying discord orb is op af since forever

#

i thought they would be out from the start of goats

#

but apparently they made their way into it

#

people still blame brig for Goats

#

when there are goats that are played without her

pearl stratus
#

The supports, by in large, are probably the most balanced they've ever been to be fair.

vagrant cargo
#

brig is the reason why goats is meta

#

lmao

#

ofc they blame her

#

she is the mainhealer

pearl stratus
#

I mean she's not anymore.

vagrant cargo
#

the character that gets switched out the most is dva

#

also geguri is overrated

#

af

pearl stratus
#

We've seen more than enough Ana and Baptiste Goats to know that if you dropped Brig you're not dropping Goats.

vagrant cargo
#

brig goats is still the main thing tho

pearl stratus
#

Yeah but are you dumb as fuck enough to say if brig got removed Goats would suddenly stop?

#

Thats like the reddit thread that says pro play should be 2/2/2 locked.

#

For balance.

vagrant niche
#

tbh, i don't see why that matters in pro player

#

but i wouldn't mind if the game was changed to be forced 2/2/2

#

the game could change

#

back in vanilla you could run 6 tracers

pearl stratus
#

It could change for ladder but enforcing static team comps for pros dumpsters so much strategy.

#

Also my favorite was like "They ran like 95% different comps when they were running 2/2/2 in Season 1"

#

By which they meant...

#

Dive.

#

And Dive.

#

And some other dive.

#

Little more dive.

#

Then some dive.

vagrant niche
#

i mean, that argument is flawed

#

I understand it would change strategies and make the game much strict and simple

#

but i would be ok with that tbh

#

it should be easier to balance as well

pearl stratus
#

The problem with balance is more for ladder crying than anything though. So change it for ladder.

#

Everyone on ladder is shit anyway.

#

You get plat people thinking they actually know what they're doing, etc, etc.

#

Gold people thinking reaper is op.

vagrant niche
#

with bad team coordination, sure reaper is op

#

but reaper is pretty bad honestly

pearl stratus
#

And unless you go into round robin really nasty buffs and nerfs you're not going to see different comps in a hard locked 2/2/2.

vagrant niche
#

bliz should give him the explosions from trailer or something

#

poor reaper

pearl stratus
#

You'll see one comp over 80% of the time (which is still higher than Goats, despite what people think), and then the two maps you play Orissa on.

vagrant niche
#

i mean

#

people are going to do it for the win

#

meta is meta

#

no matter how balanced a game is

#

people going to run the most optimal stuff

pearl stratus
#

Exactly. While right now we get multiple comps, unless you're playing shit teams.

#

The problem is 60% of the league is shit teams.

vagrant niche
#

even if it's 0.000001% higher chance to give you the win

#

people still going to run it as default

pearl stratus
#

Thats my biggest annoyance - people are blaming something they dislike instead of facing the fact that they teams they like aren't good.

#

I would be willing to say British Hurricane, Angry Titans, new Contenders Runaway, new Element Mystic and Fusion University would be able to win against 55-60% of the OWL right now.

vagrant niche
#

well from what i see

#

there is not a big disparity on skill gap between t1 and t2

#

it's just who got lucky to get a spot on t1

pearl stratus
#

There is in a dps meta, but in a meta in which its your teamwork that makes you win there isn't.

vagrant niche
#

etc

pearl stratus
#

Because so many of the OWL teams have garbage teamwork.

#

I.E. Philly, Houston, Florida... pretty much the whole bottom 12.

vagrant niche
#

maybe they also have garbage coaches

pearl stratus
#

That too.

#

I still argue that Aero/Jayne are crazy overrated.

vagrant niche
#

Aero really made a big difference to the fuel

pearl stratus
#

Big picture, but in terms of individualized coaching his compartmentalized style hurts them.

#

There is no reason for Zach to have barely improved on Brig when Crusty turned Sinatraa into what he did.

vagrant niche
#

what happened to that Genious dude?

#

did he quit?

pearl stratus
#

He named himself a Genius.

#

No one else did.

#

He coaches Washington.

vagrant niche
pearl stratus
#

And I know its only Brig but look at the difference a Haksal, Rascal or Youngjin makes on Brig.

#

Compared to a Zach, Jake/Linkzr/Arhan, Floridapersonwhodoesn'tmatter.

#

Look at how picking up im37 went.

trim shadow
#

I wouldnt be suprised if baptiste brought back dive

vagrant niche
#

Zach is so weird

#

he has some good plays

trim shadow
#

If any major buffs or nerfs come out before stage 3

vagrant niche
#

and then sometimes he plays worse than me

I don't think Dive will ever come back as a dominant thing.

trim shadow
#

Zach just graduated highschool btw

pearl stratus
#

Most people didn't do the math back when the armor changes went in

trim shadow
#

So hes young and slightly stupid

vagrant niche
#

i'm aware

pearl stratus
#

But the armor changes nerfed the FUCK out of dive.

#

Not out of Goats.

#

TTK on Winston/D'va went way down in Dive Scenarios, they're so squishy.

#

In generic terms something like a Sombra, for instance, received a roughly 32% damage boost against a Winston and a D'va.

#

32%.

vagrant niche
#

what Blizz needs to do is release a bunch of heroes at once

#

that will shake meta pretty bad

pearl stratus
#

The meta itself isn't that bad though, people are just chicken little.

#

Other teams just need to not be shit.

#

Thats the biggest disparity.

vagrant niche
#

i'm not picky about Goats tho, i like it

pearl stratus
#

Harder than Season 1 the skill difference between teams in Season 2 has turned out to be gigantic.

vagrant niche
#

cause there's a lot of teamwork

pearl stratus
#

Like absolutely monstrous.

#

I can count on maybe three fingers the teams I find improving.

trim shadow
#

Honestly teams are stupid if they cant figure out what they need to counter goats

pearl stratus
#

Shanghai and Chengdu being two of them.

trim shadow
#

Since goats id weaker then it was before

vagrant niche
#

Chengdu is so poggers

#

mang i love that team

tawny sigil
#

dos shanghai have to win against both team or just 1 to have chance to be in the playoff

vagrant niche
#

Ameng so fun to watch

pearl stratus
#

I mean the fact they get so many wins shows just how bad so many teams are though.

#

Chengdu is -not- hard to figure out.

#

They're just taking people and beating them with mechanical skill at this point.

vagrant niche
#

why don't they run a mei to stop Ameng?

#

or something

pearl stratus
#

Mei is so touch and go on so many points.

#

She's way more effective on ladder.

#

She only does really well on Anubis B and Nepal Hut Thingy, imo.

vagrant niche
#

village

pearl stratus
#

Yeah, that sounds right.

#

The Sombra is the better pick, either way.

#

Because the Mei won't stop Jinmu and Yveltal.

vagrant niche
#

Sombra seems op as well

#

EMP == win fight

#

on paper

#

that is

trim shadow
#

Chengdu was suppose to be winless btw

pearl stratus
#

Honestly so many of the Zens have gotten so good at reading Sombra this season, its getting tougher.

vagrant niche
#

Lucios too

#

they wait for the barrier

pearl stratus
#

But the point is this is a disappointing season overall so far because I just don't think we're seeing improvement like we should be.

#

And its crazy because for all intents and purposes teams really only had -one- comp they had to practice.

#

And I think thats whats making everyone so emo wrists over Goats.

#

It's bad enough to see the same comp, whether its goats, dive double sniper etc.

#

But then to see it done really badly?

#

I could watch Shock v. Vancouver Goats all day.

trim shadow
#

I watched a couple of contenders matches

#

and there goats is much cleaner

pearl stratus
#

But if you wanted me to watch like...

#

Florida vs. Washington

#

I'll kill myself.

#

Not because its goats.

vagrant niche
pearl stratus
#

Because its so bad.

vagrant niche
#

i haven't been watching much lately

#

i only watch some matches

pearl stratus
#

I'm also confused more teams haven't gone the Shanghai route.

#

Shanghai can still play Goats -really- well.

#

But they're just playing DPS because no one else is other than Chengdu.

vagrant niche
#

tbh the game has a lot of flaws

#

and the dev team kind of suck at it

#

i'm hoping

#

someone will create a mode

#

on that new workshop

#

that will be a good balance etc

pearl stratus
#

I'd argue that the dev team has the game in a really good spot right now.

vagrant niche
#

and it might become the standard

pearl stratus
#

People are just influenced by how shit they are.

vagrant niche
#

well tbh

pearl stratus
#

Because Gold problems are gold problems. plat problems are plat problems.

vagrant niche
#

i wish i could see Ashe in action and reaper

#

but they dont

pearl stratus
#

And fixing one in one place sets up another.

vagrant niche
#

cause there's too much shield

#

and defense matrix

pearl stratus
#

It's why no one below...

#

Masters?

#

Should really matter.

#

But thats the majority of your whiners and loud talkers.

#

And even masters barely has a meta.

vagrant niche
#

i'm not complaning tho

#

i don't even play the game anymore i only watch league

pearl stratus
#

I'm saying the majority of the loud complainers are from there.

vagrant niche
#

the game is so boring to play nowadays

#

it's the same thing

#

over and over

#

wins don't even feel good

#

everything is so uncoordinated

#

common sense doesn't exists

#

etc etc

pearl stratus
#

Sounds like high gold / low plat.

vagrant niche
#

i lost motivation to get good and grind competitive

#

ye i hoover on plat

#

never been able to get out

pearl stratus
#

Yeah, the biggest problem is people play solo.

vagrant niche
#

but i don't grind anymore

pearl stratus
#

Like smooth brains.

#

Solo queue should have never been a thing.

#

It's not CoD, and most solo queue tries to play it that way.

#

At the lower SR brackets, that is.

spring ermine
#

funny thing is about queueing

#

i used the find group function for the first time tonight

#

we got a 6 stack and lost both games we played

#

then i went to soloq and won

pearl stratus
#

It's too late for the function, sadly. You needed use it early on to build your own teams.

#

Thats what I did.

spring ermine
#

theres needs to be a better way to play in large comps

pearl stratus
#

Also 3.

#

3 is the magic number.

spring ermine
#

yeah 3 stacks are the only good stacks

#

any more and you start going into insta-lose territory

pearl stratus
#

6 stacking is great if you go play more on the scrim side of things.

#

Which is also really fun.

spring ermine
#

ye

pearl stratus
#

But thats a lot more coordinated.

spring ermine
#

definitely

pearl stratus
#

My hope is one day they try and peel a little bit from the WoW Arena type of thing so you can register a three stack static.

#

And it works on a group SR.

spring ermine
#

also role based SR would be a godsend

silk dawn
#

i dont follow eu contenders but

#

did titans upset hurricane ?

pearl stratus
#

But dividing up the queues would kill queue times.

#

No.

#

AT and BH were pretty much neck and neck with how good they were.

silk dawn
#

aight

pearl stratus
#

BH get talked up more because of a few casters loving them.

#

So basically if you talk to like... Bren or Sideshow, all about Hurricanes.

#

Talk to Reinforce, all about Titans.

nova wadi
#

So sfs losing again to vancouver?

spring ermine
#

most definitely

#

however, it's gonna be close

#

when's that match tho?

#

why are they not playing goats ????

azure harbor
#

zaryalul scripted game

opal spruce
#

i think thats why

nova wadi
#

Cause boston sucks

night tusk
#

I mean, do we see shock or titans try this dps stuff ? learn from the better teams NotLikeSoldier

supple prism
#

they do

nova wadi
#

Cause sfs and vanc hardlock goats?

#

If ur not good at goats why play it

night tusk
#

not on point 2

uneven wren
#

van has played dive a few times already

#

most recently played dive against boston

opal spruce
#

so now that we're a ways away from the note rck trade, note definitely got the good side of the trade

night tusk
#

im talking about this map

azure harbor
#

GWseremePeepoThink they have to allow balance patches during season I think

uneven wren
#

nah titans play ana goats on this map

night tusk
#

that would be unfair

minor flame
#

both people in the trade got the good side

night tusk
#

if you mean stage

minor flame
#

Note pops off in Fuel

#

so does rck

nova wadi
#

When u play goats and a bastion is shooting from above who is gonna get him

azure harbor
#

@night tusk yea, I understand that point but still, I think it would be fair trade

night tusk
#

goats is strong because of the system of map

nova wadi
#

Goats is strong cause of coordination and the team

night tusk
#

who gonna contest the point

#

with bunker

#

who ever contest, will die because goats is so heavy

nova wadi
#

Like i said when boston got no one to get bastion lots can stall

night tusk
#

well I take just what Jayne said. thats why you see shock not try other comps alot for example

nova wadi
#

Also cause shock is a much better team

azure harbor

zaryalul that charge
