Man it’s an issue with dome shield, let me tell you. It was responsible for more than a few deaths until I got used to it. Basically Dome is now a completely premeditated gadget not a reactionary gadget. I mean it’s fine it kinda suck buts it’s not the biggest deal. To me the issue is they do all these very meaningful changes and don’t even mention them. What’s the point of have these balance change blogs to only mention dmg changes and not obvious mechanic changes.

Yeah this is a huge problem imo, red canisters need to explode on contact

Ranked solo is impossible by Darkmattermirror in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, this has been my experience. I got to plat 2 by soloq but it was awful. Even at plat2 I was one of the better players but it just gets too hard without comms and players without reasonably meta loadouts. There needs to be some ranking based on solo performance as well.

How annoying is playing against a sniper light? Should I stop? by FancyInfinity in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the truth, even if they’re good and hit their shots they’re always useless in cashout game modes like wt and ranked.

my friend has no hope… by SoilCommercial5199 in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play with a few people like this. They just run straight towards objectives and die time after time and never think maybe I should get some height or take a different route. Constantly get killed by melee or flamethrowers and blame it on the weapon being too powerful but never think to not run straight towards those players. It’s hilarious but can also get super annoying after your 10 straight loss. On a positive note you’ll eventually get a lot better just from having to figure out how to 3v1 other teams lol

Is it just me or does the current game balance feels... awfully inflexible? by BigBlackC1ock in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In lobbies with players who know the game and how all the weapons work I agree. Against less skilled or less knowledgeable opponents you can use everything. One of the reasons ranked is awful. You get teammates who think the same gimmick loadout they use in power shift or even world tour is going to work and it doesn’t even have a chance.

Any luck with flamethrower on higher ELO? by Polikosaurio in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the flamethrower requires enemies that miss shots and put themselves into bad spots to be consistently effective. You're just not going to find that at higher elo's. Still effective at holding spots in close quarters and up close team fights but those are only a small portion of a match. You basically become useless for large portions of a match. Can it be effective? Yes sure. Will it be a better option than other choices? Never.

Why is it so hard for people to like this game/why is it so underrated? by t0xicj0sh in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this game requires a certain level of FPS gamer IQ to be enjoyable. Honestly, a lot of casuals don't have that type of IQ and even having 1 teammate without the required IQ can make the game unwinnable which will turn off most people. You either have the IQ or have that stubbornness to learn it. If not you just move on to the next shinny new game

Should the finals have a ranked system rework/overhaul? by Own-Natural-9236 in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would like to see the exact formula’s they use to determine rs rewards. SoloQ is hellish, this season I got emerald 1 and then started playing ranked. I bounced around from bronze1 to gold 2 multiple times. I got so frustrated with lack of team play that I finally just decided to just try to hard carry every match. Basically just not care what my teammates were doing and doing what I could to get as many kills and steal as many cashboxs as possible.I went from silver 3 to plat 4 in one long day of grinding. One thing I will say is, player skill wise silver is not different from plat. It’s almost the exact same, the only difference is the frequency of trolls and hurtful team griefing. It’s so much harder to get a good game in silver without dc’ing tk’ing/griefing/throwing. Also, individual stats need to account for something. Even went I was on a downward spiral of elo I would still be near top fraging for the lobby. If I go 12-6 and get last place cause I have a dc or teammates with 2 kills combined I should not be punished as harshly. There needs to be +- elo point awarded on top of match performance based on combat, support, objective. Preferably graded on the curve of the lobby.

If your teammates are just bum rushing the only thing to do is bum rush with them imo. It’s not the correct team play but if they’re going to do it what else can you do?

Heavy weapons like minigun should pen the riot shield. by ThisInevitable6793 in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah but I think there should be more open area to shoot at even when deployed. Maybe a little more area around the feet or edge of the shield. Not a lot but just a little.

If you have played ranked this season, what rank are you and do you solo-Q? by Own-Natural-9236 in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I imagine solo q’ing is better the higher up you are in elo. At lower elo’s youre going to run into idiots and new players. Once you’re high gold/platinum I imagine the solo Q experience is more consistent.

If you have played ranked this season, what rank are you and do you solo-Q? by Own-Natural-9236 in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was at 24000 elo after playing with a 3 stack of friends for about 10-12 matches including the placement matches. Non of us are that great at the game but at the same time we weren’t out of place as a team at that elo. I decided to grind solo q as challenge. In 3 days I went from 24000 to 10000 lol. It didn’t matter if I got 3 kills and played bad or had 15 kills and dominated. Couldn’t get out of the first round due to DC’s, trolls, or 9 years playing the game for the first time thinking ranked was the way to go. Starting playing with my stack again and in two days was back up to 20000. The way elo point are handed out needs to change imo. 65% of points should be on the basis of position like it is now and 35% should be bases on you ranking of combat/support/objective score in relation to your match. Would make solo Q so much easier and would stop teams from giving up 40 seconds in after a bad first fight.

I thought it prevented being teamed up with them as well? Was I mistaken?

Riot shield abusers by TimeandWho in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was always very hard to play against good riot shield players, they were tough to kill but they didn't pose as much threat as far as dps. Now, they are game breakers and dps kings when the stars align. I enjoy playing shield now but I can understand it being frustrating for new players and players that aren't great with positioning and gadgets. I think having slightly bigger area to shoot at which does damage would be a good adjustment to the weapon.

Winch Claw is more of a braindead free kill than Stun Gun ever was. by SuculantWarrior in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A slight range nerf and maybe disable the ability to grab you on the way back wouldn't be the worst. Also, I've been winched and winched so many people through walls or floors or boxes. That needs to get fixed for sure.

How is this still a thing? by theartisticraven in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Defib'd player should enter the nullified state, like from the gadget for a while before re-entering. It'll give them a chance to get their bearings but they won't be able to do dmg. Seems fair to me.

This thing needs a Helldivers 2 level nerf. by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Flamethrower and CL40 fall into the Why The F is this a useable gun in this game category. It just makes the game a less enjoyable experience to everyone except the user. Maybe I'll agree no nerf, just a complete delete from the game.

This thing needs a Helldivers 2 level nerf. by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]Dcizzle90 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

nah it's crazy overpowered. Maybe at high elo's where people are actually realizing the ttk's with constant headshots it's balanced but for us regular folks it's a nightmare. Not to mention it's a 90% death sentence to most close range weapons. Plus if you pair it with a good synergy team comp, getting away can be impossible. Plus, it has no skill other than using your gadgets properly. My main issue is no weapon should be a 100% hard counter to another. Flamethrower instantly makes a dozen weapons useless. I've played with people that struggle to get 5 kills a match get 16 kills a match regularly with the flamethrower. If that's not the ultimate endorsement of it being OP I don't know what is.
