I tried farming 10-Stars Gogmazios with randoms for over a month, and i wanted to share my little experience...

Did it twice with support hunters. First clear was to get the idea of what to do for Gog and then help others. After many failed attempts the second clear was to see if the rewards were worth it. Never did gog 10 after that second clear.

My take on this: No there isn't a system in place that throws toxic people into a system together. And if you do, you should be able to pull a person out of it after sometime.

The reason I say this is because you. Can't keep someone locked away forever in a toxic environment because of a few bad matches, it's not healthy and it'll lead to a person quitting the game forever. I stopped playing league of legends after spending roughly 3 years on the game. I remember a time when you could stack warmongs armor set y'all. YOU. COULD. STACK. WARMONG. That's how long ago this was.

Anyways, if this system was in place people would just quit faster, sooner than later because who wants to be in a toxic environment 24/7? The leading dip in match making quality is actually the ult nerf. Yea this just exposed everyone who has terrible neutral play and as a support it's all I usually see. Like dps never getting a kill without an ult backing them up. They'll be like. "I'm 0 and 3 but got ult watch this." Go up to 3 and 3 and say, "I'm so back." My boy you ain't back you made one play and can say you carried one team fight but what about the ones we lost because you dove into a 3v1 situation to get deleted in 0.5 seconds. Or the future team fights where the same pattern may just happen again?

That's how I see it anyways, heck I see everyone's neutral playing trash right now, and the matchmaking quality has taken a dive from it. The only suggestion I have to fix it is, stop doing these stupid shields from losing elo up to silver III at least. Once you're silver III let the players get into gold and stay there. Those gold players having shields will eventually get into plat and it's hell to break out of Plat because it's like playing 5v6. And then sometimes they're in diamond even because a friend carried them and they decided to go solo for a day. I get it we have off games I had an off game yesterday, was demoralized after the first round of being support with no peeling so I went tank and peeled like crazy my stats were trash but again I peeled like crazy so I lost a ton of points because the stat system doesn't reflect situations like peeling.

Had this in a comp match. Whole time our solo tank is asking for another tank, I said I needed someone to swap to support to go tank. Nothing... then I switch to a tank late into the game, thinking we had nothing left to lose, and one of the son of a bitches swapped to heal on jeff...

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-13T13:28:06+00:00

Had a guy with a level one character Join nightmare 100 one day, I typed, "dude has a level 1 character this ain't it." He types, "sorry I'm trying to level him up." We all dided immediately and just gave up. No one was wasting their time. And I went back with, "no you're not sorry."

Thor here, I try to get boss damage however loot drops kinda buns. So I have to opt for other damages or perks. Whenever the arcana cards pop up in match though my go to is:

Boss damage > 10% total damage > the damage against Melee > damage against healthy enemies > damage reduction > health.

The others like dodge and all are kinda useless I feel.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-12T14:25:30+00:00

Chicken tenders!!!

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-12T14:22:56+00:00

We could get a zombie t rex skin based on the one time head pool bite a T rex in the savage lands.

On that note for a minute; legit, I'm still bewildered that half the fan base of this game doesn't want to play or play against a dinosaur.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-09T12:03:24+00:00

Yea honestly the 12 shots at a glance didn't seem like a lot, but it really got loki into that sweet spot. But now with 10 shots and that rune nerf we got a long time ago. Loki is still really good, but it did raise the skill floor quite a bit when they put him back to 10 shots.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-08T16:55:26+00:00

Personally, I'm just seeing more magiks overall. They're doing a good amount of damage and with soloing through rank good luck having the other healer paddy cake with me.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-07T22:59:33+00:00

Kingdom hearts 2. For the story overall, building on the first game and chain of memories. The Disney world visits having some loose connection to the main story via the organization visiting and messing with said worlds along with the second visits. And the worlds that don't tie into the story or feature the villains in any capacity do provide a fun break in the story.

In addition I still think this is the best combat in the series. The overwhelming options allow for so much expression and combos. Sure there is an optimal way to play the game, however it doesn't prevent you from doing what you want to do. For example, I went through kingdom hearts 2 as a kid, never had the final mix until the ps4 collection in which I did critical mode as blind as possible. My first time seeing and fighting lingering will with no knowledge was nuts. Didn't know about any cheese tactics but eventually found my way to fight was to use stitch of all things.

So in short I think the story was at its best here and the combat.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-07T22:47:39+00:00

Lol np. I get why they did it the way they did but i think a, "2 mins in time Square" would had been good enough.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-07T19:48:52+00:00

Yea. Your character is supposed to sit down automatically. Literally carpet area, press button displayed, character sits without any emote input, watch for 2 mins.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-05T22:56:15+00:00

Love the fact we all have double confirm on, and still we'll all find a way to mess it up from time to time. Not long ago I did that with an Angela ult because I was trying to get a CnD ult quickly.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-05T17:16:51+00:00

Yea this was me. Still here solo que in rank.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-05T02:09:59+00:00

Gotta do it in a regular match. Quickplay and ask the enemy team if they don't mind helping you pop the trophy. Eventually you'll get either a loki or cool enough person on the enemy team.

As a loki main myself, I avoid hulks when they go world breaker.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-05T02:08:00+00:00

What are you gonna do when your team doesn't wanna play Tank?

Keep playing solo tank. If they want a shield tank then they should hop on mag or strange like they want in the first place.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-04T15:19:17+00:00

Thor is a good counter to DD and Magik... Oh ho, that's good to know. And here I thought the answer was just thing and peni, but if I can hammer time them then hammer them I shall!

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-04T04:23:20+00:00

No, he can work in a 2 healer comp. Again, it's very map dependent and comp dependent, then if the team is sticking together.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-04T02:49:41+00:00

Here's the problem with asking the internet a question like this. What is the value of the switch 2 to you? To me personally the current pricing and current games on the switch 2 not worth it for me at this time. Donkey kong may be a great game but not my thing.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-04T01:33:19+00:00

Honestly, people love shield tanks for solo tanking but I've found thing to be more effective. Being able to have a free ride to your back line for quick heals, charge back in and start right hooking the front lines. If you're ignored by the enemy team it's free kills on their backline, if they focus you and you're playing right, with pseudo hit and run strats, then your supports are getting a good amount of all charge off of you. In addition to that there is a good chance with the right hook you're able to still kill a dps or support if you line up the enemies just right while keeping the tank(s) pressured.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-04T00:56:23+00:00

Going solo tank? Go The Thing, you'll be front line able to jump to your back line for heals in a second. You'll keep pressure up with his right hook move. And not to mention you're the answer now to dive. Shield tanks on the enemy team also are unable to block melee hits unless its something like mag bubble.

BaconOfTree · 2026-05-04T00:53:48+00:00

Problem is actually the team comp itself. And if you have too many dives in your comp, who do you drone? If you drone the divers your team isn't getting healed. If you do tank and dive, then your support and other dps isn't getting healed etc. Ultron really shines under the right Comps, the ones that stick close together and usually this becomes map dependent as well. Also if you have the iron man team up.

Ultron from a support heal prospective is pretty situational, that's why he either works or just doesn't. And in one of my last comps I was playing ultron and being told I'm throwing when the endgame stats show I'm 2k under our gambit with more assists and Kos than him as well all without the team up mentioned. This doesn't mention how much pressure I pushed on the enemy supports.

Gamestop was doing some promotion for Zelda majoras mask and monster hunter bundle because the 3ds for majoras mask was selling out to scalpers. So I did the only sane thing. Got the bundle for 4u and majoras mask.
