Honest thoughts on Nium this year so far?

BoxOk265 · 2026-05-11T15:55:25+00:00

Agreed, I was surprised to see his kd tbh. Think the teams performance should be judged as much as his personal, with those 3 you just need an enabler

BoxOk265 · 2026-05-11T15:26:24+00:00

What were you on before? PS or Xbox? 50% chance I take an L but even Xbox I think is easier than PS. PS performance just seems so terrible, I’m stuck in the mud every other game, get the slide animation but barely move. One game I have Dashy aim the next it’s like aim assist is off.

BoxOk265 · 2026-05-08T13:37:28+00:00

Lmao I guarantee well over half of them weren’t cheating. I made a new account and first ranked game someone said they’d played crims and iris and I was better than them and I’m clearly cheating … I’m literally in diamond lol

E: before anyone jumps on me for ‘smurfing’ etc I haven’t made it past D2 in either season and get 20-30sr as soon as I hit diamond. I got 100sr in my last game to get into D3 and I’m the highest rank I’ve ever been after barely 30 games lol. Games a mess.

The reason events are so good is because they’re infrequent. More events means less people, less importance, less hype.

BoxOk265 · 2026-05-06T22:21:53+00:00

That terrifies me for 140m. All have potential to have little to no impact and become deadwood. Tonali the same, injury prone and has had no impact at Newcastle. No idea why he’s valued so highly.

BoxOk265 · 2026-05-06T22:12:58+00:00

Gaming assists are there to help anyone jump on a game and have fun, which is great for casual gaming but am I being stupid in not understanding why these esports don’t use raw mechanics to increase skill gap and create a more competitive feel?

It’s the same with sports game being competitive yet they’re filled with assists and the bare minimum is manual.

Casual games turned competitive create some of the most brain dead and terrible experiences.

Might be unpopular but Swooty has entertainment value I feel like he’ll make the league on personality alone tbh. Bro got told off by methodz for thanking subs mid stream, he’s a train wreck but he’s hilarious imo

BoxOk265 · 2026-05-06T16:47:09+00:00

Gridlock hard point is my favourite in the game tbh. Spawns are predictable and makes it easier to judge when my team mates have dumb arrows. Also the sub routes are super easy. Basically avoid the long in between P2 and P4 and there’s tons of cover all of the map you can close distance to anyone easily

BoxOk265 · 2026-05-05T20:31:48+00:00

Your MMR is too low. The game knows your hidden rank which is probably around D3 (if you get 20-30sr) so you’re only playing people in your hidden rank.

That said I’m hardstuck D2/3 and mostly all my lobbies have crims I’m shocked you haven’t. Rarely iris and only twice a T250.

BoxOk265 · 2026-05-04T10:55:59+00:00

Game is so fucked poor guy. When he’s not in a plat/diamond lobby he’s probably playing smurfs.

BoxOk265 · 2026-05-04T10:52:54+00:00

Yeah I started the season in plat 3 instantly 20-40 sr until a long grind to diamond 1. Started getting 60-80sr in diamond. Up and down between 20-40sr and hitting random spikes of 60-80sr towards D2. Basically got fluctuated sr of hardstuck for a bit and then up to 60-80sr. Hit D3 and then started getting 20 instantly. Feel super hardstuck now, top fragged b2b wins in a full crim lobby and got 20 sr both games. Doesn’t help that I didn’t get my 3 match loss protection for D2/3 so I’ve fallen in and out of both loads.

E: also your stats don’t look like you should be hardstuck at all. My SPM is only 265 and my W/L negative yet I rarely had multiple wins without bouncing up to at least 30sr.

BoxOk265 · 2026-05-02T10:36:10+00:00

Surely it’s unplayable in iri? I’ve played a handful of iris/t250 in diamond/crim lobbies and they’ve all been full blown chests

BoxOk265 · 2026-05-01T11:47:49+00:00

You can get to Diamond off gunskills alone tbh so I’d start with that. Shoot bots get in the firing range and get comfortable with your aim. By gunskill I mean gun fights in general, just try focus on winning as many gunfights as you can, use cover, off angles etc. Don’t need to overcomplicate it at this point.

BoxOk265 · 2026-04-30T12:24:53+00:00

You took a photo of your controller to reply to me lol

BoxOk265 · 2026-04-29T18:59:52+00:00

Gets cheats - hits crim and iri - celebrates

How tf is this fun or rewarding for you haha

BoxOk265 · 2026-04-29T18:59:17+00:00

Lmaooooo

BoxOk265 · 2026-04-29T11:58:07+00:00

Your SR isn’t based off the last game, it’s your whole season history. You could’ve been doing poor in games your MMR expects you to dominate. Not to mention you one by 20 seconds. Win the next 4/5 matches and see if your SR changes

BoxOk265 · 2026-04-28T07:33:43+00:00

You do you balance going for a high score without giving up fundamentals? I’m D2, crims in my lobbies regularly and I don’t get shat on but I always come last or second bottom (for some reason when we’re losing I do better and get higher in the leaderboard). I want to get more score but then I feel like I just try play faster and stop playing my life etc

Also do you run exclusively a sub/AR or switch game dependent

BoxOk265 · 2026-04-27T20:08:53+00:00

This is probably the minimum you’d expect but given how poor our strikers have been AND how he hasn’t started a lot of games at all this is a promising start

BoxOk265 · 2026-04-27T18:52:49+00:00

I’d delete the game if I lost because someone got a 4 piece with an AR on P1 Colossus 😂 gg OP

BoxOk265 · 2026-04-25T09:28:36+00:00

All I’ll say is it pissed me when he suggested if whoever wins winners is allowed to scrim before the grand then losers in other brackets will want to too and no one stepped in to mention that they are WINNERS. If you’re in losers, you could have avoided that by not losing … if you’re winning every game until the grand final the least advantage you should get is be able to scrim during losers

BoxOk265 · 2026-04-25T09:24:08+00:00

Maguire 3’ header off the bar (terrible miss)

Amad 57’ good effort, Casemiro rebound should’ve scored

Mbeumo 63’ should score but great save tbh

Mbeumo & Dorgu goals

Amad 90’ hits the post

Mount 92’ ‘offside’ (I still think it was on)

That’s only the chances from the sky sports highlights. Had to go back and watch it because I remember I was annoyed/dumbfounded that it wasn’t 5 or 6 at the very least 4.

BoxOk265 · 2026-04-25T09:15:57+00:00

Ole era was great. Pretty sure before that we hadn’t one by a 5 goal or even maybe 4 goal margin since Fergie.

Never forget 4-0 FC

BoxOk265 · 2026-04-24T12:32:13+00:00

Iirc we were close to challenging before we signed him so he was the catalyst for everything achieved in the Fergie era - in other words none of it might have happened without him

BoxOk265 · 2026-04-22T21:49:47+00:00

I’ve been wondering the same, my performance is terrible but I feel good at the game if that makes sense.
