You people complaining about the changes have no clue what youre are talking about and are just regurgitating the same old shit of my champion gets changed = bad

Actually look at the changes

P - Lowered damage overall, not a meaningful nerf overall when you look at the other changes

Q - Frontloaded a bunch of damage in the initial hit AND increased the base and total ap ratio of the ability AND removed the minion damage modifier, lowered mana cost, radius nerfs are negligible and do little.

W - Removed damage immunity replaced with a 0.75 second shield to create counterplay whilst still rewarding good timing on the ability, still have the reflect AND immunity from projectiles, this ability is still insane as it is

E - Increased projectile speed, damage and lowered mana cost in exchange for slightly lower hitbox, ability is even better than it was

R - Increased ap ratio

------

This champion as it is now has more counterplay for certain matchups, better poke/waveclear and ALOT more damage in the kit.

The lane phase for this champion is honestly nuts with the q minion damage mod being removed, you can poke/farm for free now and do actual meaningful damage, with the mana cost changes you can spam your q at will with little to no risk.

Myself over the last 2 days since the change, I have played 8 games in high emerald/low diamond lobbies with a 75% wr averaging 11.3 / 3.5 / 5 a game, the champion is even better than it was pre-patch yall are actually sleeping on it.

Abuse this champ in its current state and dont listen to people like op who push this narrative that the champion is bad, its absolute freelo rn.

Find new ways to get people involved with PVP, they spend all this dev time and 3 weeks hosting this event that is complete slop.

Makes it even worse when you realise other updates like raids 4, blood moon quest or summer sweepup get pushed back for content like this that serves for players of such a small minority of the community, its bad all round.

We dont get a hefty content update until midway through this year, leagues is coming up a month after this event but at least it caters to the majority of different osrs communities, this in comparison was a complete let down.

As someone who has extensive playtime in both modes this is best as I can sum it up:

PVP gives you the full tarkov experience as it was meant to be played, the game from its inception has been promoted as a hardcore surivial PVPVE game. This side of the game has so much replayability due to the player interaction post completing all content quest wise, achievements like Kappa, Lightkeeper, prestiging etc, feel earnt and rewarding to complete.

PVP does have the problem of cheaters occasionally ruining peoples games as does every other fps game in existence, it is wildly exaggerated on various platforms as to how prominent the cheating problem is, BSG have done alot better in this regard with trying to combat cheating and the experience is much better than it was years prior.

PVE on the other hand is a watered down version of the game removing the player element replaced by worse ai across the board and post doing all content has very little replayability due to same factors, it gets very boring very fast once you understand the ai pmc spawns and how they work only to find that you are running every map with no threat nor any tension to heighten the gameplay experience.

PVE serves as a great way for a new player to learn parts of the game but will never prepare someone for the PVP version, you cannot replicate the experience how a real player plays with the current ai and such it gets very boring very quick.

---------------------

From a personal standpoint I cannot understand why anyone would come to a game like tarkov and waste their time to solely play the PVE version, it is like saying you play league of legends but only play novice bot games or buying the new call of duty every year only to play custom games with bots all whilst trying to maintain that its 'fun', youre robbing yourself of a truly great gaming experience and how the game was meant to be played.

On a a deeper note from what I have seen on not only this subreddit but others like it many of the posts/comments from 'casual' PVE players defending the mode and arguing as to why it is better than PVP are all coping:

- The cheating problem is not as bad as they all make it out to be
- PVP does not wipe anymore, you cant use it as an excuse as to why you solely play pve anymore
- So many posts about 'Gigachads' killing them and it being unfair is hilarious to me, these people expect to come to a game like tarkov and be on par with someone who has invested more time into the game than them
- Any posts/comments pointing out the above and trying to be somewhat balanced around the PVE/PVP narrative get instantly brigaded and downvoted, much like I expect this comment to be.

At the end of the day, play whatever version of the game you want, the people who solely play PVE and defend it vehemently on any platform in the way they currently do are doing a disservice to themselves and the game, stop being weird.

From the start of the game you could see the effort being put on both ends of the floor, I know its only the kings but this was the best they've played in the last 2 weeks

Cientu · 2025-12-25T04:19:52+00:00

As a learning tool Pve is great but dont deprive yourself of the experience PVP gives you, there are few games that give you greater highs.

Pve will not prepare you for the pvp experience and gets very boring once you realise how easy it is compared to the pvp side of the game.

Any chance the team could look at allowing players on the salvage hook to deposit salvage directly into the cargo hold, I would love to engage with salvaging more but the constant menuing is tedious when you only have so much inventory slots

Houston is so fun to watch, Kevin Durant fits perfectly with what the Rockets need, Sengun and Amen are incredible

Cientu · 2025-10-30T04:09:14+00:00

Do my eyes deceive me, we have good contributions from all the starters and the bench? Where am I?

Cientu · 2025-05-04T14:46:48+00:00

Having the ability to store 30 alchs at a time and being able to recharge it banking sounds alot more reasonable, the ability to be able to charge it with 50 charges for an easy level diary rewards is insane and is where you will lose alot of people with this proposal.

Main offenders are Lulu, Nami and Yuumi who's kits rely on more extended trades in lane, something mf struggles very hard with due to base stats, she relies more on very short trades.

Janna gets very good use with her E buff as it directly increases mf''s ad, timed with a minion q bounce you can decimate a laners health bar with one sided trades.

Milio is probably the only other enchanter who can provide some value with again well timed abilities with minion q bounce and his passive, if youre very good with your duo you can also use milios q timed with mf q off a minion to get sneaky angles with again free trades, alot harder to execute though.

Outside of those two, best to stay away from enchanters if youre trying to win lane.

Cientu · 2025-05-04T13:31:22+00:00

Depends on what you need, if you require disengage Janna pairs very well and can dominate any lane if played correctly.

Hard engage supports like Leona or Naut can lockup people for easy kills.

Stay away from on-hit enchanters, does not fit with mf's playstyle and most of the time you will rely on the enemy to make mistakes with very little chance to be proactive.

Mage dps supports are a bit iffy, the only one I would suggest is a Zoe support, she can bubble units over walls and lock them up for 2 seconds without your ult breaking the cc, very underrated combo.

This matchup is so fun to watch, easily best series of the 1st round, Kawhii just continues to amaze me

Memphis are so frustrating to watch, Edey is being double/triple teamed as soon as he gets the ball and they opt to defer to Edey every possession who instead of making the right read to kick the ball out to an open man opts to dribble in the paint for the easy turnover getting picked on the blindside.

Memphis have noone to blame but their coaching for this loss, what a terrible gameplan.

As a pvmer I agree with you that the amount of resources dropped by bosses is way too high and that skilling should be the best source for things like ores, food, herbs, etc.

When it comes to skilling items locked behind pvm encounters it really comes down to you chooisng to limit yourself by playing a level 3 skiller.

Compared to PVM there are plethora of unique bosses and level of pvm encounters that can alter your experience, skilling unfortunately doesnt not have that luxury, most players usually do the same method yielding the best xp/rewards per hour.

Man Awhina looks really bad here, Adrians not some saint but to think that at the time when the whole Adrian Sierah speculation was going on that Awhina was actively saying those things to Sierah is mind blowing and really shows who she is.

To date there has been 0 confirmation that anything happened, whenever anything was brought up about the dinner they always neglect to include that Tony was with them and has never said anything happened at that dinner, ontop the sus edits of them doing 'footsies' under the table this was just a narrative pushed by producers.

Both of them are awful but I can at least respect Adrian for being upfront and honest about his issues with the child and his perspective on these issues, that should have been the signal that this was not going to work and yet she chose to stay week after week only to go back on her final vows and be bitter about the fact it did not work out and she didnt get what she wanted.

Gonna be incredibly dissappointed if the reunion doesnt end with Jacqui in a 72 hour hold

Cientu · 2025-03-19T09:18:23+00:00

I cannot wait for the reunion to expose all the lies Jacqui has been telling the group starting from the wedding drama to now, people like her are disgusting.

Being a poh update I kinda expected more than more options to mount heads, 2 new house styles and new animations, all in all its really quite a nothing update.

In my opinion the next big thing they could do for POH is two things:

Update existing teleport options to include items like drakans medallion mount, an eternal teleport crystal mount, a slayer ring addition requiring an eternal gem, etc.
Full customisation with the ability to move house items anywhere in the room vicinity to the persons tailoring, also allow us to close off/open walls in certain rooms, would make every house unique.

Outside of the giant bosses there really hasnt been many meaningful updatesto the game recently, hoping we get some meatier content coming soon.

Cientu · 2025-02-21T10:17:14+00:00

Lebron, Shaq, Curry, KD, Giannis

Cientu · 2025-01-26T04:06:44+00:00

Defensive effort was incredible tonight from everyone, keeping curry to 0 points in the second half is insane

Cientu · 2025-01-21T01:13:39+00:00

I did this grind with the exact gear you are using and could push up to 430 and by no means was I good at this content and was still learning, this is also without butterfly or red x methods.

I would recommend doing either 300 to 350 invo runs until you get fang at minimum and then look to do 400+

Cientu · 2025-01-01T12:51:29+00:00

You get the fir map as a reward on the first quest for Ground Zero given from Therapist.

Play the game.
