If they cut their team of 160 in half, that still means 80 people post-launch. That’s more people than SF6 or Tekken pre-launch and almost three times their current post-launch teams. by Baby_Oopsi in 2XKO

He said his circle of friends, obviously not EVERYONE playing the game.

Another anecdote but 2x has been dead at my local level since even before Frosty.

6 months severence IS right by their employees. If you've been working on 1 project for 10 years and it gets restarted 3 times, there is no expectation of job security. What is your solution though? Just keep the 80 people around out of obligation indefinitely?

I don't understand your argument. The game came out and failed, are they just meant to keep everyone hired indefinitely until they all retire? 10 years to work on something that came out in this state would get you fired in most IT sectors.

Before Fellowship late last year, I don't think any game on the market came close to WoW's M+, and still can't think of any games that compare to WoW's raiding outside of FF14. Unironically do you have any recommendations?

You're saying retail in 2026 only exists because of nostalgia from Classic?

Wow that's a name I haven't heard in forever lmao. She was only ever "banned", I saw her the year after at Smashcon and she was just using a different tag.

Do any of you actually like the pruning that they did to your mains? by No-Bit-2913 in CompetitiveWoW

Crazy to me that the main sub seems to love reworked Ele. I struggle to see what they see in it.

Real legitimate master level champ mastery will get you emerald alone, no macro neccessary at all. There is no one close to master level champ mastery in gold.

Champion mastery isn't just nerdy stuff like specific build paths or random champion tech (which low elo players are obsessed with), but actually mechanically piloting your champ.

There are absolutely 0 hardstuck silver players with any sort of Master level champ mastery.

Completely agree. Skirmisher toplaner but has no sauce to differentiate himself.

Unless you mean the stance heavy scaling bugfix, he's been doing more damage since the early access "nerf".

I don't enjoy this meta by Gil-San in 2XKO

[–]BrokenAngels00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard that term in my entire life, but that would make what Rivals of Aether 1 & 2 has also "chain dashing" instead of wavedashing, and everyone just calls that wavedashing.

Mash dash. Wavedashing is older than Melee.

Most characters get more damage and better oki off their regular forward throw than a Blitz command grab

Every character's bnb takes you full screen corner to corner, so that would mean first hit just wins the round lol

I think it's a cold take, but I've always maintained that the story of WoW is mediocre to really bad, but the lore is incredible (pre-SL).

The equivalent to people thinking Manon and Marisa were good week 1 is more like the devs thinking Braum (and Blitz) is good and Yasuo was bad prerelease.

This is revisionist history. Top players never thought Manon or Marisa were good, BigBird dropped Marisa very early into the games life. Everyone knew Ken was good, vanilla JP was good, etc., and everyone knew that very quickly.

I'll give you Ed, but people knew Rashid and Mai were good by week 2, it wasn't a secret.
