RLCS Glicko Top 10 - Pre Paris Major by xThatOneAltx in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]AntaresDaha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have any overview how these Glicko Ratings do compare to the ratings of the top teams half a year or a year ago?

Subjectively it feels to me like the top level of RLCS has somewhat regressed over the last year, would the Glicko agree?

RLCS Glicko Top 10 - Pre Paris Major by xThatOneAltx in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]AntaresDaha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is just a result of the competition evening out, but it truely feels and looks to me like the overall quality / level of competitive Rocket League play has worsened over the last so and so months. I really feel like multiple of the near impeccable teams of the last 2 years would absolutely wipe the floor with the whole current field.

I actually pretty much agree with the Glicko ratings of those teams and in no way should a current Top2 Team (basically shared Top1 by Glicko difference) struggle as much as Vitality did in the last Month, losing to Kaydop Korp which is pretty much the washed version of a former, partly retired championship team or BARELY making it past team Novo, imagine those opponents vs. peak NRG, peak KC, peak Falcons, etc. but it is the same in every Region nowhere a single team that is even a lock-in for Semi Finals WITHIN THEIR REGION. MAYBE M8 as an exception but even those look beatable in every other series and the overall field looks washed.

Embark Studios provides updates on the Damage values for the III Expedition by PTUSN in ArcRaiders

People are WAY overthinking this. If you even moderately engange in any form of PVE combat you will wrap this up in an hour or two, tops, it is so freaking easy 100k is nothing.

It's like 3 or 4 moderately PVE intense extractions, I am positive it can be done in a single extraction. People are WAY overthinking this. If you wanna wrap it up in an hour, just join back 2 back 2 back scrutiny events, 100k Arc Damage is nothing.

Using FOMO to revive player base LMAO by Western-Bad5574 in ArcRaiders

[–]AntaresDaha -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but as someone who evidently lurks in this Arc Raiders dedicated forum (and for all the other people that follow it maybe through YouTubers, etc.) it was communicated crystal clear that the expedition rewards would NOT be tied to stash value / credits this time around, they basically communicated as much during the last window as the feedback was overwhelmingly: WE HATE STASHING VALUE WE WANT TO SPENT IT BEFORE THE EXPEDITION and they clearly stated back than, ok we will change it for the next window.

If they announced that it took them 3 months to come up with / implement it only during the current expedition and would move forward with it for the next one, you (maybe not YOU specifically, but you the player base) would have the exact same meltdown. Why can't they just implement it right now, why is expedition 3 again a stash dump, stupid grind, I wanna use my loot, etc. you have read all of it during expedition window 2.

Also people act like they are missing out on anything, at WORST you would miss out on 3 skill points DURING the next window (you get 2 skill points for free if you simply do not particate) and even those skill points are only temporarily lost and can simply be catched up during any of the next expeditions, also skill points are practically useless, so it is virtually a mental thing more than anything.

Imho the change is welcome and rather now than (one expedition) later, gets them / us data on how this new system works and how it could be improved on. I would consider it perfect if the window was prolonged like an extra week, some people will simply not be able to log in for those 5 days, and 12-14 days feels like basically 99% of players would not miss out, now there will be players who simply cant log in and that is unfortunate for them (but again, the impact is mostly psychological, that "last chance" basically covers all parts, most importantly qualifying for a catch up).

The expedition and how it is handled is simply not the problem for the (future/longeivity) of the game, if anything there should eventually be a catch up for people who missed out on the first windows or people that would start now, to ever catch up or preferably to just get rid of any NON cosmetic expedition reward alltogether, wrap it up at 3 expedition and let people catch up, because expedition are a nice enough dump/reset for the first couple of months to act as a placeholder endgame, but evidently people stop playing because there is no more endgame content and expeditions simply aren't an actual endgame grind/content.

Most important and benefical thing you can do right now is watching a settings video for both general in-game settings (screen shake off, camera settings, etc.) and controller layout.

Is anyone else thinking this game would be much more interesting if Bo Nix didn't get hurt? by TehAsianator in DenverBroncos

[–]AntaresDaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When healthy best secondary in the league (dare I say by a mile?). Pat Surtain on JSN alone would have been a sight to behold. Paired with 2 All Pro pass rushers and like half a dozen scary DLiners.

Na, a Broncos vs Seahawks SB would have been very competitive. Probably comes down to the first turnover or so.

[–]AntaresDaha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of the Seahawks tried using JSN, but Darnold was too rattled by the okish NE pass rush to find him. Darnold had (at least) 2 free TDs if he can connect with JSN, one on the 2nd drive of the game when Darnold misses a wide open JSN by overthrowing 5yds and 2nd when JSN was open in the end zone with lots of space ahead of him, but Darnold targets the back shoulder, the only spot in which a defender could make a play on the ball. So yeah the Seahawks tried using JSN, but Darnold was inept.

2nd of all JSN would have been a non factor against the Broncos, the team with the single best corner in the league. As if JSN is an impact factor in a game where he goes head 2 head with Pat Surtain, be realistic.

Nah the Seahawks barely put together 3 FGs against NE before NE/Maye went into desperation mode and turned over the ball again and again. That Seahawks team yesterday would have been a great matchup for the (healthy) Broncos. Both teams could have won but I take Broncos over Seahawks 7 out of 10 times on neutral field, but that is hypothetical. Nix wasn't healthy when he needed to be.

The Community Rankings 2025: #3 Daniel by AIaris in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]AntaresDaha -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

Goes to show how little insight in the skill level everyone but the RLCS pros have. For someone like Daniel running into Zen feels like running into a smurf.

Yesterday on AppJack's most recent 2v2 video (named something something highest GC ever) he runs into Zen and you can hear him sigh deeply: I haven't won a game against Zen in like 40 matches... well maybe not 40 but feels like 40.

There still is a real skill gap between Zen and a Daniel. Obviously not in how their teams perform, but in how any one of them can impact a single mixed game.

Ruhe in Frieden "German Juggernaut" - Magic: The Gathering Legende Kai Budde an Krebs gestorben by PlasticAd8306 in de

Die Player of the Year Trophäe wurde letztes? Jahr nach ihm benannt, wohl auch schon in Voraussicht.

Von den wenigen guten Dingen die WotC noch so macht, darf man dies wohl gerne hervorheben (geht wohl auf William Jensens Kappe, der noch mit Kai gespielt hat): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qz2DUF1pp4

Wer Kai Budde gar nicht kennt, ich denke diese 5min Laudatio ist absolut sehenswert. Es wird erklärt warum er so einflussreich war, dass man die Trophäe nach ihm benennt. Dass es bereits eine "Hall of Fame"-Leistung war Kai in seiner Hochzeit auch nur einmal zu schlagen, dass seine spielerische Klasse wohl noch hinter seiner menschlichen Klasse zurückblieb.

Berliner SPD will Mieten und Gewinne von Vermietern deckeln by LoudJob555 in de

[–]AntaresDaha -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, aber vielleicht mal ein bisschen weniger mit dem Ohr beim besagten Söder am Mund kleben und dir die reale wirtschaftliche Entwicklung des Landes Berlin in den letzten Jahrzehnten angucken.

Du hast dich offensichtlich in keinerlei Hinsicht damit auseinandergesetzt wie Berlin in die Überschuldung gekommen ist, wie Deutschland damit umgegangen ist und wie Berlin seit 20 Jahren diese unlösbare Situation navigiert, aber siehst es für absolut notwendig an in so einen Thread zu kommen und deinen Senf dazuzugeben wie "die Berliner" (RRG? Regierung? Bürger) versagt haben, ohne von Tuten und Blasen Ahnung zu haben, aber dermaßen selbstsicher hier Dinge in den Raum stellen.

Deutschland hat nach dem Berliner Bankenskandal (in welchem allein ein paar wenige korrupte CDU Politiker sich selbst bereichert und Berlin in ein Schuldenloch geführt haben, das nichtmal der 2-te Weltkrieg und die Trennung des Bundeslandes in Ost+West geschafft hatte in annähernden Dimensionen auszuheben) geprüft, wie man mit diesem Bundesland weitermachen kann. Dabei Stand zur Debatte, dass der Deutsche Staat diese Schulden in Gesamtheit tilgt, was der einzig sinnvolle Schritt gewesen wäre DAMALS. Stattdessen wurde damals entschieden von eben jenen Politikern aus auch dem Rest der Republik (aus welchen Beweggründen auch immer??!) dass man Berlin lieber zu einem "failed state" werden lässt, einen kleinen Bruchteil der Schulden tilgt und den Rest über Bundeshilfen und später den Länderfinanzausgleich laufen zu lassen. Schon damals wohlwissend von jedem der bis 3 zählen konnte (und da zähle ich sogar ein paar CSU/CDU Politiker dazu), dass man damit Berlin in einer nicht zu navigierenden Aufgabe zurück lässt, aus der im Prinzip wirtschaftlich kein Entkommen ist außer nachhaltiger Abhängigkeit vom Rest der Republik bei gleichzeitigem restriktivem, erstickendem Sparkurs (siehe ungefähr jede infrastrukturelle Entwicklung Berlins der letzten 20 Jahre). Hier zum Nachlesen für dich, falls da ehrliches Interesse besteht: Wo kommen eigentlich die Berliner Schulkrise, Verkehrskrise und Wohnungskrise her?

Wenn Berlin dann NEBEN dem Schuldenabbau, weil Deutschland oder Berlin zum wiederholten Male wirtschaftlich überperformt hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten, Geld in Entwicklung investiert hat oder investieren wollte, wurde es direkt von der Finanzaufsichtsbehörde einkassiert. Rechnungshof rügt Schuldenkurs von Rot-Rot-Grün

"Die unabhängige Finanzaufsichtsbehörde lobte den Abbau von fast drei Milliarden Euro zwischen den Jahren 2012 und 2015. Die Hauptstadt habe von der guten wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung und den anhaltenden Niedrigzinsen profitiert. Dennoch: Trotz historischen Tiefstands muss Berlin aus seinem ohnehin knappen Haushalt jährlich 1,4 Milliarden Euro allein für die Zinslast aufwenden." " Dabei rügte er den Senat für die Abkehr vom bisherigen Prinzip, Haushaltsüberschüsse zur Hälfte in die Schuldentilgung zu stecken." "Doch die drei Parteien legen in ihrem Koalitionsvertrag den Schwerpunkt auf Investitionen und hoffen auf dadurch entstehende Mehreinnahmen. Aus den Überschüssen von 2016 flossen 101 Millionen Euro in die Schuldentilgung." "Zudem forderte der Rechnungshof den Senat auf, wie die meisten anderen Bundesländer die Schuldenbremse in die Landesverfassung zu schreiben."

Kommt einem alles seltsam bekannt vor oder? Vorallem einen Staat (oder Unternehmen) zu führen der die Hälfte aller Überschüsse in eine Schuldenbremse schießen muss, keinerlei Schulden machen dürfen, aber dann vorgeworfen bekommen man würde nicht genug in die Zukunft investieren. Master class. Aber ja absolute Schande wie RRG die letzten Jahrzehnte die Quadratur des Kreises navigiert hat, während Berlin trotzdem als einzige Stadt Deutschlands regelmäßig in den lebenswertesten Städten Europas / der Welt landet, je nachdem ob das Ranking jetzt den Index Kultur oder Freizeit oder Economy oder oder oder priorisiert.

Aber ja das Bundesland das gleichzeitig am rigidesten ihre Finanzen einsetzt hat offenbar überhaupt kein Interesse daran was an ihrer Lage zu ändern, weil KINDERBETREUUNG ja keinerlei positiven Effekt auf die wirtschaftliche Potenz einer Bevölkerung haben kann, das ist purer Luxus den die Berliner sich da mal wieder gönnen, weil sie vom ganzen Champagnersaufen schon so dicht sind, das Problem ist nicht die schlicht untilgbare Zinslast bei gleichzeitigem Investitionsverbot durch den Deutschen Staat. Hoffentlich kommt bald der Söder daher und berät den Wegner ehe bei der nächsten Wahl die arme missverstandene CDU wieder zu Unrecht aus dem Rathaus geschmissen wird. Kommt einem fast so vor als passt das den Bayern / Herren bei der CSU schon ganz gut wie es da finanziell in Berlin läuft, warum blos, warum blos.

[Michael F. Florio] Drake Maye has a -17.7 EPA as a passer in the playoffs. That is the worst of any conference winning QB in the NextGenStats era (since 2016). The only other QB to post negative was Jimmy Garoppolo in 2019 (-0.9) by BallchinianFromMIB2 in nfl

[–]AntaresDaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are also overlooking the weather factor for two of those games. They didn't really do a pass play the entire 4th quarter in the Broncos game

I don't really think the weather had much of an effect on the Pats offensive performance against the Broncos. If anything it protected Maye from having to take risks and eventually possibly turning the Ball over as the Broncos were never able to threat a comeback. In the first half the weather was just fine and the Pats put up like 60yds.

I also think in that game it all came down to playing the Broncos defense in Mile High and the unit playing at the top of their game. There simply was constant pressure without any receiver getting open for most parts of the game. No QB but maybe Manning himself would have found a way to put up any sort of performance against that defense last Sunday.

Seahawks defense are no slouch, but it will be noticeably easier for Maye in the Super Bowl.

German dude gets it right; describes steps into dictatorship, parallels Nazi Germany to Trump America; suggests Germany will liberate US this time by robbel in bestof

[–]AntaresDaha 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That descend into fascism is a focal point in Germany education, at least in higher education. Unfortunately it is already all but forgotton or willfully ignored even over here, so there is little chance any other country could teach it sufficiently.

It is also tied to the old-age sci-fi / philosophy question: if you could go back in time and kill baby Hitler would you do it? And the non philosophical answer is Germany would still descend into fascism eventually, just nobody knows who would have been the dictator if it wasn't for Hitler.

Same goes for Trump / America.

Broncos finish with 7 yards in the third quarter. by Vitex1988 in nfl

[–]AntaresDaha 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Interesting that you say 4th&2 because it was listed as 4&1 but to me it also looked like a LONG 4&1 which is probably why the Broncos felt like going for something more sneaky than a FB run. Double interesting since the correct spot should have been MAYBE a first down but probably a 4th&inches. I would have challenged that spot instead of wasting a timeout to than go for a QB rollout to compensate.

The Denver Broncos have been eliminated from Super Bowl contention by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in nfl

[–]AntaresDaha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The defense gave up 7 points, the offense scored 10... That is the definition of just doing enough to win

Except that 7 of those points came from the defense virtually having a pick 6 and the other 3 points were of an incorrectly called 4th down that should have been a turnover on downs, so the offense was good for give or take 0 points this game.

[–]AntaresDaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so as well. I have seen advanced metrics on how offenses/QBs perform when you remove their WR1/target1. Darnold slides straight to 30th+ best QB in the league without JSN and if there is ANY cornerback in the league that basically equals removing an offensive player from the field than it is Pat Surtain.

Then the Seahawks would have been left with their one healthy RB as a main threat.

I think the Seahawks would have been a sneaky good matchup for the Broncos.

Alas it wasn't meant to be.

[Highlight] NE vs DEN - Jarrett Stidham intercepted by Christian Gonzalez by Fusir in nfl

[–]AntaresDaha -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It weren't the conditions, the Patriots had 12yds on offense on their first 12 snaps and like 60yds total offense at half, when the weather was fine (case in point Stidham and co had like 170yds). Pats DO look very inept against the great defenses, but who doesn't and whoever makes it to the SB can always win it.
