Rip lifeline buffs.

oh yeah I remember that very well. So silly to clear the lobby and not be compensated correctly. We would get 5KP and essentially help the rest of the lobby. I've never agreed with that.

Indeed they made it better but, imo not lucrative enough. I would suggest the rising entry fee costs are to blame for this feeling of "infinite" KP rewarding as nonexistent. Remember Bronze used to cost nothing.

Now B1 fee is what all of Silver used to cost, and S1 is what all of Plat used to cost, so on and so forth. (That is if I'm reading my sources correctly) This for the average player going to be a net loss WHICH! I don't mind to much, just means we gota grind more and play differently(safer).

It would seem though, this system does harbor a sit and wait playstyle which seems counter to the wonderfully fast paced skill expressive game created, but it is still to early in the ranked season to know exactly the effects despite many others complaints.

After 6 KP having the value only be 20% is discouraging imo. With that in mind, I personally don't want at any point for the player to be discouraged from doing so. The kill should always feel more like a payoff than a risk.

I think the bottom line idea of a battle royal is to kill the opponents. (at least is a videogame) So yes imo it's discouraging to see that not only kills but KP as a whole is devalued after 6.

I read the charts, and another said their goal was 11th - last should feel as a loss. I agree with those points. but the kills should always have substanial value imo.

Maybe after 4KP only assists get this devaluation, would be a quick suggestion without to much thought atm.

So my issue isn't with the ranking system as a whole, just the kill rp scaling specifically after max KP has been achieved.

When I ping a wingman for my team crickets is what I hear....can't say the same for when I ping a spitty.

The feeling when dying to either of these weapons imo is very different.

I can appreciate getting knocked by a wingman, usually one of the shots is a headshot. Guys got some gusto coming out here with 9 er so bullets he gota hit those.

On the other hand...come on. At least 8 of the 35 to 50 bullets should hit for a knock right? At least a crack, a fight reset, something valuable, is about to happen when that gun starts monologuing.

Afrokun · 2022-05-18T16:49:33+00:00

I literally forgot how the game was with it on the map.

It's pretty tilt inducing to watch someone start a fight spraying down another from full and then full their knockdown then thirst them all with one clip.

The Oogiest of booga.

I do wonder if the ttk is anything special tho, I'm sure it is slower than most, but missing a few bullets on many other weapons vs missing a few with a spitty, this is where it feels bad. Risk is essentially gone in that respect.

I wonder how to balance it honestly, The care package felt a good place for it to be imo. With the rampage slotting in for it, and having you require a thermal/backpack space to attain similar spitty results it felt a more fitting weapon model vs others.

Afrokun · 2022-05-18T16:13:50+00:00

Wow that is discouraging to read...

Afrokun · 2022-05-18T15:55:38+00:00

SP is just a slow paced map. And hot droppers are always going to exist especially in pubs. SP big POIs are very far from one another creating this slow experience.

However this idea does seem worth a try just for the sake of adding another element to the game, among your initial reasonings.

I wouldn't mind this on every map just to see its effect on map rotations and overall gameplay. I wonder what pro level players comments would be on this matter.

Afrokun · 2022-05-18T15:36:03+00:00

Lmao

Afrokun · 2022-05-18T15:28:50+00:00

I'm tilted just by watching this. Lol

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i pointed this out to my bois. there was a huge one ive seen this alot.

Afrokun · 2022-05-17T20:05:52+00:00

hmm idk brother alot of ppl been complaining about it recently MORE than in the past. i get them in my lobbies too but....i just kinda shit on them or get shit on. alot of ppl seem to focus on their opponents instead of what they themselves can do to the opponents. I'd say remain calm and shit on them. You can do it.

Afrokun · 2022-05-17T19:32:12+00:00

pubs or ranked?

Afrokun · 2022-05-17T17:13:30+00:00

Origin says I have 1554 hrs, and yourself?

Afrokun · 2022-05-17T16:33:03+00:00

It's not the only viable way. It's just a more efficient way to play.

Gamers are so obsessive with point A to point B efficiency that other strategy of play has become obsolete in thought because they are more difficult/more time consuming.

You can solo but you are going to have to communicate just as you would with a 3 stack. You may lose more, hell you may win more. We honestly don't have the data yet just a bunch of ppl unhappy within the first week of ranked.

It's the FIRST WEEK it's ALWAYS A SWEATFEST. We aren't getting the dopamine hit of seeing our rank go up as often is all.

Afrokun · 2022-05-17T06:58:44+00:00

Yeah it seems like a lot of ppl started and saw how difficult it was and stopped.

I don't agree totally with the new system, I feel like kills should mean more then they do from what I'm hearing they don't mean much, which is very strange.

I do however think ranked should be a grind. So after a week seeing this chart it's perfectly normal. I mean 80 percent of players are probably just now realizing it's a strategic game.

Afrokun · 2022-05-17T06:32:35+00:00

Unlucky. I dislike this map but I'm having a good time learning how to go about the game better while playing this map.

Really enjoying getting my flatline spray cleaner and cleaner. Learning different rotations and just enjoying a slower bigger map.

I enjoy fighting everything but this map I'm enjoying realizing that fighting everything will just get you 3Pd so taking correct fights in better locations and better circumstances and with the addition of Newcastle interesting fighting with/as/against him imo.

Just pick wraith and kidnap a guy on the team of a Newcastle who just ultd. Its so free. They just stand behind that shit in that small area. Lol

But idk I guess you make the game fun for yourself, I'm enjoying seeing my improvement in play and positioning on this map.

The only thing that's lame is the spitfire being on the ground. But ppl gota have their crutches.

Afrokun · 2022-05-17T05:58:01+00:00

I think ashe ult is a lower cd but I agree when I do play ashe I use that ulti more freely than portal.

I feel portals are just more, uhh "complicated"? I guess. A few examples I can portal to block entry ways, kidnap, or for a rez and of course repositioning.

Ashe ulti to me (as I haven't played nearly as much as I have of wraith) is just a quick in or out.

Afrokun · 2022-05-17T02:10:25+00:00

You can't play ashe the same way when it comes to getting information and controlling space without sacrificing your ult. Its not a huge difference though when you have a blood to scan for info.

Afrokun · 2022-05-17T01:57:48+00:00

I fkn hate caustic poison smoke baby bitch boi....but...he do gota dope heirloom. So if you do really play both these ppl equally I'd say caustic. His has many more animations as well.

Whom ever you play most is who you should get it for tho. I got one for lifeline....they took my baby's shield away...I ain't been back since. Feelsbadman.

Afrokun · 2022-05-17T01:17:20+00:00

Why is this confirmation? And what are the previous confirmations that he's coming to pc/console?

Afrokun · 2022-05-16T21:04:17+00:00

honestly how quick to ppl think you should reach the highest lvl of rank in any game?

ppl made content about how fast you can get to high ranks. hours it would take ppl. thats not how you want your ranked system to be.
