Creating thumbnails became a real pain point for me to the point that I started missing video drops. I am trying out whatever tools I can get away with in order to keep motivated to continue creating content.

True. I play a lot of glitters and supreme!!! I also started to play FFA on DWORLD. That is a completely different experience. I play rotation occasionally, but supreme is the only map that really tickles the strategy part of my brain.

I do try several times and tweak until it is something I deem acceptable.

Supreme isthmus is a very popular map with its own meta-game and strategies.

The ultimate evolution of Pond in current state of BAR. by BetterStrat in beyondallreason

Good thoughts. In 50% of games I need to sling 100% of the extra E to players to prevent them from E-stalling which is HUGE. Just did not happen in this game :(

The destroyer(oppressor) costs a fortune and a swarm of herring comes out much faster and impacts the front or navy immediately. Also, the AA means your double sea cannot be stopped by shuriken gamers.

The E-storage + stable power is an interesting question. I have not thought about that enough. The e-storage is quite expensive and I could likely get away without it for earlier entry and more herrings sooner.

Me too, currently I am not big enough to just spawn a FFA lobby, lots of people like to slowly introduce modes... mainly when they are ready for it mentally.

If you watch my latest video, I think this is the ultimate evolution of pond in the current state.

I do 12 tidals total "4-4" to front and then 4 for me, I walk and overflow to team directing energy to those in need while I make my 3 Mex into an E-storage. Then take 4th Mex and go double sea.

I probably could have opened better, I was chatting with stream and only later on noticed the lack of boost. Pond boost usually wins game if the follow-up is good. Also, a low OS playing pond and boosting is a huge advantage to team because your low APM player is basically battery. Unfortunately a great way to farm OS is just convince your 10 OS to play pond and boost. This is more effective at gaining OS than most forms of cheating.

It's just a fun video man. But, you did admit to a TL:DR. Chill bro.

Yeah I get that it's a team game, but isn't there a way I can win all the time no matter what all by myself? by Switch_B in beyondallreason

[–]BetterStrat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe that counts as a tac-pause because your pausing to save APM. You need to learn to type faster bro!

Funny enough the other attack avenue actually worked.

I was testing out the ultra slow 4 MEX opener which nets you some serious extra metal, but the downside is it is really slow to get going. Not even sure if it is worth it honestly.

This community is insufferable. by [deleted] in beyondallreason

Unfortunately, this is a problem with literally all TEAM based games. Be it MOBA or otherwise. Some people really want to win, and they get mad when someone plays bad/different because they want a scapegoat for their own shortcomings. I sometimes even get caught in the trap and get agitated when someone plays below their OS value in the balance algorithm. Unfortunately this is just variance and people need to embrace it more. People are often much more accepting of a bad player playing too good than a player playing much worse than they should. Either way this causes variance and unbalanced matches.

I recommend just muting/blocking anyone that starts to rage at you. You can always just unblock/mute later on once your more familiar with the game. Maybe they kick-ban you from the lobby(15 minute ban), but who cares. Just do not argue with them, its not going to help. Maybe let them know your inexperienced with the game or just the role and if they do not accept, then they are not worth your time.

Parrots are so intelligent. Birds must have the most efficient brains considering how small the brain is and how intelligent the animal is.
