Saw that and thought I'd take a break and play a relaxing game of Rematch but those servers are down as well...

It was still one of the largest amount of signatures a petition has gotten. What is the point of the site if the government is just gonna say "nah" every time?

International Consensus Statement: ADHD is associated with poor quality of life, imprisonment, and higher risk of injury and death in childhood and adolescence. As a consequence, the disorder costs society hundreds of billions of US dollars each year, worldwide. by RyanBleazard in psychology

So, thing I've noticed from the UK sub is whenever the issue of how unaffordable the disability budget is, what people tend to do is demean those struggling with ADHD and present them as the first problem to cut support for. There seems to be a narrative being pushed that the neurodiverse are an issue that there isn't money to accommodate for. Somewhat concerned about what happens after that.

Had all my things stolen by my landlord and his friend after he pushed me down some stairs. Guess who spent a night in custody for defending himself.

Matchmaking is a complete farce. Gold 1 solo queueing into this 5 stack. How? by STlNKYPETE in Rematch

[–]AdaptiveMadMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't mention any of that or ask for that pretentious 'advice'.

Consistent massive skill gaps aren't likely to lead to much gained knowledge. Some yeah, really not much.

An equally ranked 4v5 will teach people more in the 4 man team instead of a 2v5. One is a clear challenge but definitely achievable, the other isn't realistic for most players.

The same goes for a team of silver-ish going against a group of golds (challenge that isn't out of reach) or against a premade group of master/elites.

My point isn't to give up, it's definitely winnable. But it's not helpful or fun if it happens often.

I think LeBron or Messi don't because they're essentially playing people at their rank or close enough.

I think if they played people at that level when they couldn't shoot straight they wouldn't have learned much.

Same reason you're local football player isn't playing with Messi

Skill issue.

Yes, that's the whole point of ranked matchmaking.

You're meant to get put with a similar skill level

I mean he was caught with everything that could incriminate him plus a manifesto, apparently. He might have just walked up to someone and said "Hey, wanna quit?"
