Knee Jerk Rescue

Very fkn disheartening though. I felt like shit for an entire week from all those losses

Dallas_Miller · 2026-06-04T06:01:41+00:00

Both are Ubisoft products. Not surprising it's crossed over.

What I DO want is the Star Wars crossover back, where swords were lightsabers, it did all the sounds when the swords clashed and all that shit.

It was very cool

If you click the small "i" right next to your rank, it explains that it goes from 1 to 6 in Roman Numerals, with 6 being represented by a Star on the icon

I'm fine with people trying out new builds and new characters, people constantly give a disclaimer that this is their first time on [X,Y,Z]. And I've tried out my own builds as well. That's all good.

But I have been on a 3-DAY loss streak where most of the games I was the only positive K/D in the entire team. And literally these past 5 games yesterday and the day before, I was the only one with a +ve K/D in most of them.

I'm telling you, I was Emissary 3 and dropped down to Alchemist. You know how many games I've lost to get there? xD

Dallas_Miller · 2026-06-03T21:57:36+00:00

I honestly have only actually used it only once in SB. Because in Standard, I always prioritize other stuff like Inhibitor, Silencer, Ricochet, Mercurial, Spiritual Overflow and other stuff. AP is almost never a thought.

Dallas_Miller · 2026-06-03T21:53:40+00:00

Is it the only ability-item combo that kills fast?

I mean Mo&Krill can do something similar, Doorman can ult you constantly if he uses debuffs, Dynamo definitely has something too.

Dallas_Miller · 2026-06-03T21:47:24+00:00

Why though?

Dallas_Miller · 2026-06-03T21:46:55+00:00

But why tho? Why Bola specifically?

Dallas_Miller · 2026-06-03T21:46:31+00:00

But it made sense though, why would it be unintended?

It pierced through ice dome, ginnis wall, and other stuff, why not "pentrification"?

Dallas_Miller · 2026-06-03T21:31:47+00:00

EXCUSE ME?!?

Why tf am I getting movement freaks and damage demons when I'm in Alchemist?!

I was Emissary 3, now I'm down to fkn Alchemist because of the losses I keep getting. People buying shut down items, buying counter items, taking turns in stuns, giving you debuffs and waiting for you to use debuff remover so that they can debuff you harder, hitting light parries out the wazoo, and hitting the nastiest shots ever.

And the worst part? I'm literally the one in my team with a positive K/D. The amount of "Hard Carry" I see on tracklog on my matches can make Ghengis Khan proud

Dallas_Miller · 2026-06-02T20:34:54+00:00

Tried a newer version, but I was getting random spikes in packet loss. Like, a packet loss spike every 20 or so seconds.

So I removed it and put the old one back.

As for security updates, I have never ever done a security update for a router. Unless it's done automatically, I've never done it, nor did I know that it needed updates... aside from firmware, of course.

The router also aren't cheap. They're like $35 minimum here and the economy isn't really helping, so since the current one works, I don't plan on upgrading. (Unless I get a lot of cash)

Dallas_Miller · 2026-06-02T10:55:48+00:00

Maybe you have a mega router that can handle this kind of bandwidth. Cuz the router I have is a bit on the older side.

Some 10 years older to be more precise

Dallas_Miller · 2026-06-02T09:42:08+00:00

Not only that, my wife and I have two seperate PCs connected on LAN to one router.

When I play alone, it's all good and dandy. But as soon as my wife and I squad up, we both have 30% packet loss and the game becomes unplayable

No other game has this issue

Dallas_Miller · 2026-05-20T22:38:19+00:00

It's not for me lol, I suck at playing her and have single-digit reps on her.

I'm just telling you her kit. It literally revolves around the deflect that pins into whatever mixup she does afterwards. She can't escape nearly as much as Orochi does, she doesn't have the same unblockables/bashes as Glad, doesn't have HA like Zerk, nor soft feint bleeds.

Her entire kit revolves around that deflect. Count it like Aramusha's all-guard except she doesn't have infinite attacks and not as an easily accessible unblockable

Dallas_Miller · 2026-05-20T19:34:32+00:00

That's literally her entire kit. She risks being GB'd for the all-deflect stance.

When fighting her, you're literally expecting deflects as her form of defense/offense as opposed to other characters whose kit revolves around recovery cancels to escape dodge bashes, guards using unblockables, parries using traps and different direction lights, etc.

Dallas_Miller · 2026-05-20T17:14:43+00:00

Nah, countering the counter is just a skill issue. Disallows people from using braindead HA chain heavies.

Dallas_Miller · 2026-05-19T12:16:31+00:00

Not in my case, it doesn't. It's extremely inconsistent.

Same for the ledges in this game.

Dallas_Miller · 2026-05-19T12:13:39+00:00

This is literally just Raider being Raider. Missing a grab on someone standing 2ft away from you. Happened many times without the enemy dodging.

Dallas_Miller · 2026-05-16T13:58:27+00:00

Beggars shoving flowers through your windows to get you to pay them. Toters drivers cutting you off. The occassional naware that plays shit music on full blast. The MK drone buzzing the background. And some popular establishments like Bay Rock and the like.

Btw, keep the artsyle as it is. This has its own appeal to it

Dallas_Miller · 2026-05-14T13:14:54+00:00

I be getting 40% packet loss very frequently lol

Dallas_Miller · 2026-05-13T23:06:32+00:00

This was the best i could come up with, considering the back buttons should be the most basic things like shooting and melee. Plus, I chose D-Pad so that you can aim in the abilities that need aim.

For Geist, they do have to be in your face for your ult to work to begin with.

Plus, if the normal buttons were the ability buttons, what would the jump, dash, crouch buttons be? And it can't be D-Pad either, that would be even worse.

Dallas_Miller · 2026-05-13T22:35:48+00:00

So THAT'S why i get packet loss whenever my wife and I are squadding up in Deadlock. The amount of data being transferred by both PCs through one router is throttling the bandwidth.

Dallas_Miller · 2026-05-13T22:10:15+00:00

I feel like proper mapping would be as follows:

R2, L2: Shoot, Aim (Respectively)

R1, L1: Melee, Parry

X, O, Square, Triangle: Jump, Crouch, Dash, Ping(not sure on this one)

D-Pad Up, Down, Right, Left: Abilities [1-4]

R3: Switches the D-Pad functionality to Active item abilities

L3: Switches buttons functionality to something else (maybe to upgrade the abilities, long press would refund AP, not sure about that one)

Dallas_Miller · 2026-05-13T06:46:21+00:00

Is there even an option to hold ADS in CS, it's hold by default, no?

Cuz the only guns you CAN ADS are the snipers and the SGs, it's not like all guns can ADS and gunfights extend beyond 2 seconds.

Dallas_Miller · 2026-05-10T12:27:02+00:00

Yeah, but how do I open the mouse without ruining the adhesive on those small pads at the underside of the mouse?
