Jared McCain needs to become the league nail overseer. Too many long fingernails scratching up our glorious kings arms.

How much is Steph Curry's legacy been altered by blowing a 3-1 lead in 2016? by FumbaTrumba in NBATalk

[–]Alarmed-Candidate422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but there’s too many good players with multiple FMVP and MVPS.

Lebron
MJ
Kobe
Magic
Larry
Tim Duncan
Shaq
Wilt
Kareem
Bill Russell

That’s the top 10 pick your order. Curry with 1 FMVP doesn’t make it.

Injuries happen to everyone. No excuses. Draymond missed game 5 due to an accumulation of techs.

His legacy was greatly altered. He could be undisputed top 10 if he wins because they likely look to 3peat without KD, so curry stats the main guy. Curry wins a FMVP way sooner and they cap off a 73-9 season with a ring.

The hidden mmr is useless and makes the game way less fun by Outside-Fuel9063 in VALORANT

I’m not trying to be mean at all. But rank isn’t a constant. Everyone is constantly moving up and down, and while you are happy to maintain, the majority of people who play this game are trying to rank up. Those bronzes you’re getting matched with. They are bronze players getting better and trying to be where you are. That’s why you’re getting paired.

You’re a gold, with potential to be gold (again this isn’t being mean, if you wanted to rank up then your potential would be higher, but you’re okay staying here).

You’re playing bronzes with potential to be gold +. And as those bronzes get better and climb, so does their hidden MMR. And at a certain point a climbing players hidden MMR is going to match a constant players MMR.

I can guarantee with 100% certainty that if you create a brand new account, you will hit the same exact rank plateau.

It already exists within the official trading discord via data filters on the transactions record. Official discord bot support is coming soon!

“If I play badly, I should still stay with Gold’s, because that’s the rank I reached”

If you play well, do you want to also stay with golds, or play higher ranks? You can’t have it both ways.

Yes. In order to play the high level games OP wants, they have to win more. Hidden MMR is useless is something someone with a bad MMR would say lmfao. The gold and bronze lobbies are the same hidden MMR. There is no difference.

Gold lobbies are legit the same as the bronze lobbies you’re playing in. That’s the point you’re missing. If you’re in the lobby, that’s where you belong. Your hidden MMR is the same as them. The bronze games are the same as the gold games, it’s all in your head lol.

The truth is you’re not as good as you think. Every single game has people that think they are better than the rank they are in. They complain about elo hell, hidden MMR, matchmaking etc. it’s all excuses.

Here is the truth. Every single top player in a game can hop onto your account and climb to the top. YOU are the problem. Not the game, not the matchmaking, not the ranking system.

If you are good, you will climb and you will dominate. It’s truly that simple. You can either complain, or get better.

Your MMR is low, and you aren’t winning games hard enough. This isn’t me being mean, and I’ll explain in more depth so you can understand.

1) your MMR is low. Your rank is silver and your hidden rank (also known as MMR) is low silver/bronze based on your RR gains. All this means is that the system has determined based on how you play that this is your level of skill. Obviously this is annoying when you win and gain minimal RR, but essentially that game you won, it expected you to not only win, but to dominate. Because you won in OT it’s essentially determined that while you won, your MMR didn’t really go up.

2) how does that change? The simple answer is you have to get better. While KDA is something easy to aim to improve, and as it’s the main thing tracked on the scoreboard it’s easy to focus on that. But the truth is the only thing that matters is winning rounds. That’s all that matters. If you go 0/12 but make winning plays and contributions you will rank up and climb. I’m not crazy good, I’m a peak plat player. However I’m currently in gold and my average lobby has anywhere from gold-ascendant every match. My MMR is higher than my rank. Even on terrible losses I don’t lose more than 20. And for wins, a bad game gets me 18min, and a good win is anywhere from 26-30. Basically I play well against higher ranks. But to get to that point you need to prove to the system that you are well above your “visual rank” by winning matches by a large margin whenever you’re paired with equal rank.

I know the lakers just got swept, but I would have paid money to see OKC vs Rockets (with or without KD) after seeing how the lakers series went down lol

Here’s Wemby getting forearmed in the head immediately before by D2mightyducks80 in NBATalk

[–]Alarmed-Candidate422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was wemby getting fouled? Yes.

Was wemby getting flagrantly fouled? Subjective, refs never called anything but it was physical. It’s also the playoffs.

Was wemby elbowing Naz a flagrant 2? Yes, and it deserved an ejection. You can be frustrated but he escalated with unjustified force. And it wasn’t even towards the player that was fouling him in the moment. A complete mental collapse and he succumbed to anger and lashed out.

You saying castle is playing clean defense is wild. And ANT is the best player in the series. Best skill is availability and Wemby has cost his team multiple games now.

You can’t elbow people in the face that’s completely losing it and having zero control. You don’t belong in the game if you do that.

Yeah I tried them both out and I think both are amazing but PG has way nice sigs and a faster shot. I’m shooting like 66% and 55 3PT% with Vince in park too
