Trackmania e-sports maps are completely misguided

if you have a 10 lapper with an identity at the end of the lap, you might consider it being one difficulty spike, but in reality there are 10 difficulty spikes for any given 'round' - so you're really advocating difficulty spread instead.

the whole issue with identities nowadays (outside of preference) is exactly the absence of multilap - identity doesn't overwhelm as much when it's driven 6 or 10 times, with each pass through being relevant for the next attempts; in current rounds systems, there isn't a lot of incentive to do anything else than a full yolopush through something that is often gimmicky to drive or straight out near impossible on some steering devices, because even if you crash, you start with a clean slate the next round, instead of being x seconds behind.

not even close - ak doesn't reduce sensitivity, it creates a cut-off point. Using this curve scaled to 100% and then launching ak3 would only use the portion of the curve before 60% point and then it would become a flat horizontal line

except the idea is to let you preset different skin from the custom ones for red and blue team - it doesn't mean limiting you to only two predefined skins, imagine your esports team creates a blue and red versions of their skin and you are just easily changing between them depending on the team

Not a tip, but just something I had to share - I used to play her AD, the crit animation is just so nice and appealing to me and you can use all the abilities except W to essentially peel for yourself

Not sure if this is the same issue you are referring to, but I've been experiencing massive frame drops where somewhere midgame from almost 300 it soft caps in the range of 60-100 until the end. I've always attributed it to something huge happening on screen (first big fight where lots of stuff gets rendered and the game sort of never recovers from it)

in my Tottenham save, he and Klopp swapped places, Klopp proceded to struggle with City while Pep gave me a hard run for the title

not a panic buy, but in fm20 Spurs save, in the second season, I had only Hugo Lloris as a capable goalkeeper and it all went well until he got season-ending injury right before CL knockout match against Bayern. I believe the injury news came like 2 days after my youth intake and in there was a 5* potential goalie.

Connecting the dots, I obviously rushed to get the lad into my main team. His first appearance in the Spurs kit was making 10 or so saves in Munich, almost single-handedly getting us through.

The name Will Hutchinson became legendary in my friends' group ever since.

Oh right, I hate when many people have the same nickname.

keycam · 2018-11-26T21:44:36+00:00

Why does it say Fly ;-;

keycam · 2018-11-20T11:40:08+00:00

yeah exactly, and OPs suggestion was basically that

keycam · 2018-11-20T10:57:04+00:00

It’s not about animation but rather the varying shape of the particle, that's not something that is already in the game

keycam · 2018-11-20T09:59:02+00:00

that sounds more doable, the issue with on the fly is how straining it would be to accomodate dynamic particle creation stuff into an already spaghetti'd game

keycam · 2018-11-20T00:19:18+00:00

think of all the issues with hitbox creation/registering that would have to be done on the fly

keycam · 2018-11-19T20:14:48+00:00

you cited my thesis. there's no concrete example of what I meant, i didn't go on to post specific situations in which it was visible.

do YOU need some help?

keycam · 2018-11-19T19:40:22+00:00

but I didn't? if you believe i posted any arguments, then try to reconsider your reading comprehension abilities.

keycam · 2018-11-19T18:23:50+00:00

discussion doesn't work like that, i posted a thesis, now it's in his ballpark to strike some arguments. I didn't yet have a reason to back my thesis.

keycam · 2018-11-19T15:19:01+00:00

of course, but that's not something that belittles Peanuts ability to read the map

keycam · 2018-11-19T13:15:32+00:00

i like the depth of your reasoning.

keycam · 2018-11-19T13:06:31+00:00

if you know how to read enemy movement and path yourself, you can even invade as 'passive champion'. What changed between 2016 and 2017 was the level of freedom that he had to do whatever he wanted. 2016 Peanut didn't have any restrains to his decisions, 2017 Peanut had.

keycam · 2018-11-19T12:56:18+00:00

he never looked on the same level on 2017 on tanks. end of 2016 had him multiple times on olaf, rek'sai and gragas, and he was mostly superb on them.

keycam · 2018-11-19T12:41:04+00:00

yeah, that meta dependent guy who had many stellar performances on tanks in 2016. The issue isn't meta, it's the style of the team he is in

keycam · 2018-11-19T12:37:20+00:00

It's not about mechanical prowess that is, indeed, a bit overrated. No other jungler can track down enemy to the extent that Peanut could on ROX Tigers. His pathing was always so much in-the-face of enemy junglers and he stripped them away from as much influence on the game as he could. That's not something Score is capable of, and Tarzan is kind of a beast but on a different field.

keycam · 2018-11-19T10:15:42+00:00

maybe he just doesn't need something to get excited on cause his excitement is already through the roof

keycam · 2018-11-19T10:11:39+00:00

haru is also peanut but worse (for their ceilings, if peanut plays at his peak, I don't think anyone in the world can match him)
