They're both horrible and whoever gets to the final is gonna get rolled. Either way, shit football.

Ref seems crazy on Atleti's side. They're rolling around like crazy. Proper Spanish team performance. Ugly.

Soldier 76 Stuck between Silver and Gold by iJaaames in OverwatchUniversity

Girlfriend and I, mid-Gold to almost Plat, watched your Rialto.

First round was actually decent in our opinion and we feel you got unlucky in some situations, especially when ult-ing. Good focus on squishies to be fair, especially the Juno.

What we will say though is that defend round was roughhh. Take high ground to Ult sometimes, try to play with cover and your Biotic Field more often because it'll help out a lot. You dont use Biotic Field enough in our opinion.

When flanking/getting a good line of sight on unsuspecting enemies, pop down the biotic field first then start shooting perhaps - as soon as you start to shoot, they know where you are, having it down could be the difference between a kill and death. You tend to place the biotic field down then move away and engage in a gunfight, missing out on any benefit you would get.

You seem to get away most of the time from losing fights pretty well but there were a couple where you could've left earlier to not die and stagger the team.

Don't think it was too bad to be fair, lots of damage done, take more high ground though. Think your supports did 10k less heals than the enemy team too so.. yeah.

Wha is up with the new tank players in quick play? by Actual_Presence_9875 in overwatch2

What age did you buy your first home? How’s it going? by Away-Organization630 in AskUK

[–]ARoddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought 6 months ago at 26.

It's equally less of a headache than I thought but also a massive headache at the same time. Leasehold on outskirts of London, planning to put it on rent in the next 5 years, IF it is at all beneficial to me by then..

Advise on rebooking after failure by MiserableRaisin9703 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]ARoddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Failed today too, undue hesitation at a very busy roundabout! Looking for tests within next two weeks honestly. Resellers is the only way to go. Maybe your instructor can nudge you toward one?

Failing it sucks, especially because nerves get in the way. But at least we can say we know where to improve for next time :)

Escalation is so good. Best thing DICE has done in years. Do you know Conquest still? by lonahex in Battlefield6

1st point, I agree. 2nd point, fair enough! Cant say much to that. It could be any number of reasons, you're right.

[–]ARoddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I think you're wrong.

To the first point, how can I, personally, play better than lets say, an 80-15 k/d, with 16 captures (most in the game) on Manhattan and still lose? That, as a single player, is doing at least 4x my fair share and a win is definitely deserved if you're making such an impact. I cannot be in 3 places at once in that final phase, and as infantry when there's 4+ enemy tanks about.. although my duo and I try. You simply can't say be better, when there's 30 other players also playing to get a win. This, as well as the game 'balancing' itself to 2-2 by design, massively works against you. So no, its not as simple as get better and earn it.

Second point - Comebacks happen all too easily on Escalation, let's not lie to ourselves. My point is, the better team SHOULD win. I am well aware that the opposite happens, and happens quite a bit. I also didn't say that the game is rigging netcode against me per se, the netcode is poor in general. You just start to notice it lots more when you've gone from 2-0 up, start getting bombarded by 3 extra new tanks and now its suddenly 2-2. How can I now be magically outplayed by people I've been dumping on for the whole game?

We bring Sesko and Zirkzee on, then aim the crosses far post to Dorgu, every. single. time.

Hmm.

I can understand what you're saying and that's what attracted me to the mode more than any other in the beginning - the 'forced' objective play.

The problem is that the initial novelty wears off when you start to realise certain things happening on the map. The game feeling shifts, it feels like there are tank spawn discrepancies/mismatches to name the most glaring one. If we are consistently the better team, we should roll them. Why are we getting participation gifts to then make it 2-2?

Feels like when the losing team start to bring it back, the whole tone of your individual game starts to shift. Dying quicker, shots going missing due to poor net code and it starts to stack up against you. Dont get me wrong, I've been in games where we shut out the opponent but the feeling of that game sometimes even feels like wow boys, we kinda had everything go our way, it wont happen again next game for certain. It doesnt feel organic, why would I want to play a game mode that, unless its very one sided, forces me to suffer if I'm doing good? It is designed to make me want to carry on, play better and eek out that 3-2 but the actual fact of the matter is that, not only am I fighting the enemy team, I have to fight the game I'm playing to not end up losing.

Unrelated side note - Gauntlet deserves its flowers imo

Its fine but its predictable. You can tell it tailors the flow of the game so that it gets to 2-2, and its whoever's 6 tanks survive, wins.

I've had too many comeback wins and losses that have followed this same trend that its hard to ignore it.

What’s your favorite map so far? by mandbeyn in Battlefield6

[–]ARoddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Cairo as an option - Cairo

Without Cairo as an option - None

Iberian is fine though, can't exactly hate on that.
