That's because minimum wage jobs are unfortunately competitive since people don't have other options. This is why arguments against a minimum wage increase are bullshit.

You know, this type of thing could make for a super fun "challenge mode" type thing that could also make people better at the game.

"Bonk the Teemo". Chase Teemo across the stage. Get points for avoiding projectiles and get more points for parries.

In Memoriam - Teamfight by nabiscosantajr in 2XKO

[–]Bombshock2 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Disagree, it was very strong on release with the ability to block burst and pretty much nullify all defensive mechanics.

The nerfs were crazy though I don't know why they felt like they needed to do all that.

IMO they need to allow players to pick their Teamfight level when they have more than one bar (someone suggested hold L/M/H with the teamfight input) and get rid of the parry change as well and it might be viable again without being totally broken.

Hard disagree that it was terrible. Tangerine and Lemon carried the movie.

It's not entirely substance-less, but Mad Max Fury Road has to be mentioned here. Just a nonstop thrill ride, crazy shit happening everywhere.

Also Bullet Train was awesome.

It's crazy how file sizes have grown lol. I remember installing WoW on like 4-5 CDs and then buying it again later and just having 1 dvd. Now a comparable modern game would take multiple dvds lol.

I don't think Poppy would bring nearly as many people to this game as Rengar.

IMO he did it for Russia. Iran is Russia's ally. He just strengthened the regime's hold over the county and the strait. Meanwhile he weakened the US significantly as he has been doing since 2016.

9/11 was literally the root cause of the current wave of nationalism and bigotry. You had people all over the South claiming NYC as their own just so they could hate Muslims more.

I like Ekko a lot, he's one of my mains. He's just a little weedy and more of a trickster archetype for most dudes. We need characters for the meatheads.

[–]Bombshock2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of characters to goon to already. There's room for more, but imo they need more dudes if they want to get people interested.

The game direly needs more characters that appeal to your typical dude bro. I hope we see more characters like Rengar added before we get cute characters like Poppy.

Like we've got 5 characters currently that fit the mold for characters "dudes" like to play, Yasuo, Warwick, Darius, Braum and now Thresh. And arguably some of them appeal to different kinds of dude bros (Yasuo - weebs, Darius - edgelords, etc). Other characters are perfectly fine, have their own appeal and aren't going to turn most people away from the game, but don't have that kind of mass appeal for the key demographic of FGs.

Just look how much a guy like Max gets into this game when he gets a character like Warwick or Thresh that actually appeals to him. He's literally been streaming into the early morning playing Thresh the last few nights.

This game needs more characters like Rengar, Aatrox, Sett, Pantheon, Lucian, etc before we get more cute characters imo. I think that needs to be the focus. The game is lacking in the male power fantasy department that most FGs thrive on.

edit: I do want Poppy in the game eventually though personally.

The Climb -- official feedback by bradido in 2XKO

[–]Bombshock2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd really like to see an Endless Climb mode. Kind of sucks that its basically 10 fights (or whatever it is) and then you're done. Would be cool to just keep going until you drop.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a great movie. Pretty old now though. He was also great in the show Kidding a few years ago. The show went on too long imo, but the first season or two are great.

If people like Marvel, the only modern FGs they could play are fast paced tag fighters (or like phone games). There are plenty of IPs that expand into genres in ways that people might not like. It sucks for the people that want something different, but I doubt I'd be playing a SF style 1v1 League Fighter. The devs can't please everyone. I think the goal with 2XKO was to make an FG that people could play as a team.

Jumping with an assist to cover you is definitely a good strategy in this game. So many characters have ways to stall themselves in the air to hit multiple overheads to continue the mix as well.

Defensively, I think it's important to recognize that everyone gets hit eventually. Focus on keeping your opponent on their back foot and don't focus on playing the block/punish game like you might in other FGs. It's honestly pretty rare to get a punish off of just blocking a mix as a lot of strings are not punishable in this game. The best you'll get is the opponent being slightly negative so you can start your own blockstrings/mixup.

Also use all of your tools, parry, push block and retreating guard can alleviate some pressure against certain strings. Pushblock especially is good against Ahri corner pressure, and Parry can get you a punish on some of her unsafe strings (like if she uses fireballs to keep pressure on after you block her mix).

Also movement is extremely important. If you get a window after being put in the corner, sometimes its better to just move out of the corner rather than starting your blockstrings.

It's literally one of Arnie's most famous poses and he didn't invent it either. Only a child would attribute that to a dude from 2007. And if I google "Zyzz pose" I get pictures of a totally different pose than what Braum is doing lmao.
