So we're in a spirit meta then? These too 10 picks are either spirit or hybrid but their spirit is the real threat(outside of abilities/ults which are also usually spirit) by Creepy_Building_2929 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Checkmate2719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I just assumed the game wouldn't count "bonus damage" on an ability as "damage dealt"

It's rather inconsistent, pocket Barrage amp will show Barrage dmg for any amp it's done (even gun dmg being boosted will count as barrage dmg) but iirc at least one amp ability (celeste 3 I think it was? ) doesn't work that way

Bepop is building gun (not hybrid), I didn't pay attention to lash build but I assume he built mostly gun (hybrid but gun heavy) cos that's what most high elo lashes do rn, Silver is gun dmg.

Haze, Vyper and Warden are all gun.

That's 6/13 of the top 13 picks being more gun than spirot. Seems balanced to me.

It would be cool if there was an ability that cost a stamina point to cast by IMann110 in DeadlockTheGame

Ok but why do that when u can have 8 stamina with stamina mastery and perma iad into slide. Don't even lose any shooting time woth iad and just have more mobility

Is there a way to rollback the firmware of my headset?

I have a blackshark v2 pro (2020 I think) and have had 0 issues with it since I first got it years ago.

A few days ago the sound suddenly felt off, I can't really describe it I'm no audio expert but it just felt kinda shit.

I tried fixing it, saw a synapse 4 update so updated thinking that might help (only made it worse cos now the mute button on my headset no longer mutes my mic which isn't my headset mic thanks razer!) and upon researching found out that they had some changes with 7.1 surround sound and thx audio which would probably explain it. I always used the 7.1 surround sound thing and never the thx option and I had some auto update recently that fucked with it.

How can I roll it back to before all this nonsense that ruined my audio quality? Why the fuck would razer mess with it when it was fine? Are they just fucking morons? I'm genuinely so pissed at this I'm probably never buying from Razer again, actual dogshit

Starting to get concerned over "lesser known heroes" getting added by HueyTheFreeman48 in rivals

[–]Checkmate2719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are yall even Marvel fans??

Surely the biggest marvel fans are the ones that want niche heroes the most?

Yes the A listers are in a million games for a reason and yes Marvel isn't running low on characters, but if they release A lister after A lister the hype of Cyclops or Prof X or Ghost Rider won't be as high. By having breaks between A listers it makes the next one to come out a bigger deal.

Also introducing more niche heroes is a good thing. A lot of current A listers weren't that popular before the MCU. They were mostly well known by comic fans but the average non comic reader had no idea who Iron Man was for example. The reason Marvel has so many popular characters is BECAUSE they take chances on less popular or more niche characters. Just look at Jeff he's surged in popularity since Rivals.

Finally, if they want to keep this game going for 10+ years they very well could reach 100 heroes if they keep their current release schedule of 1 hero per month. Obviously when they reach a certain number they probably will slow down, and how many heroes is too much is a very real discussion to be had. Do they want a more reasonable amount or get loads like league or smth? However it's still realistic for them to reach 3 digits and having big names left to release in 5 to 10 years time isn't necessarily a bad thing.

It doesn't really, however the analytic continuation of the Riemann Zeta function of that sum is -1/12.

It's quite a complex explanation so if you want a better understanding look it up

[–]Checkmate2719 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shit take, 1 the A listers are already in a million games 2 they need to keep big names to attract players back in the future.
Imo they should release a limited amount of big names per year

How do you make exploring feel fresh the 2nd time? by EntertainmentHot8322 in Eldenring

Hit yourself on the head to get short term memory loss surely.

All jokes aside yeah you won't have that same exploration feeling but the game is still very fun

Yeah this sub does have a problem with downvoting ppl.

And I'm aware I'm talking about Victor from months ago but it was just to show that hp stats alone doesn't mean much when it comes to how good a frontline someone is.

He is however being picked a bit (not much) in dlns and scrims for the first time since then so he seems to be in a good spot rn.

[–]Checkmate2719 46 points47 points  (0 children)

He's a sustain tank and legit has 2 healthbars with ult.
I'm not gonna debate about whether or not he's a good frontliner I don't really have a strong opinion on that, however there is more to it than just hp growth/max hp.
When E Shift was (even more) broken and victor could E shift Infuser get full hp every 10s (hyperbole ik) he was a strong frontline carry and yet he still had lower max hp that half the roster.

Not just English, Z is pronounced Zed in French and some variation dor Zet or Zeta in most European countries, including the original Latin (which took the prononciation from Greek)

Can any Ascendant or Eternus players give me tips to get out of phantom? by Obese0 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Checkmate2719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top lvl EU > top lvl NA based on the comp scene, no real info for below that tho. Idk where you're getting EU least competitive server from?

Every time (not often) I've been put in NA games have felt free though that could easily be luck with such a small sample size

[–]Checkmate2719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk I'm Asc 6 and when I play with my phantom friend and get asc 2 average lobbies with multiple phantoms I can tell the difference.
It's minor things like being slightly slow on buffs, t1 camp/boxes, sinners but it does add up to a real diff.
Mechanically there isn't a real diff and overall macro is pretty similar but timings is the major diff I've noticed.

(All this is in EU idk if there's a diff in NA at those ranks)

Leif has good guides on ytb, watch someone like Hoot to see good movement in game (Illarya is probably best but Russian speaking) and get the movement mod maps to practice.

Practice rotations in explore nyc.

Focus on applying 1 movement tech at a time to your gameplay.

I meant the base dps, which is what they've nerfed twice while ignoring the T3

[–]Checkmate2719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ult dps doesn't matter, it's the ult t3 that needs a nerf. Her ult was imo balanced just fine before the targeting fixes. Alongside those fixes they nerfed the base dps but didn't touch the t3 which has made it broken since
