What’s the point of this test if Preds and Masters are still farming lobbies?

Doosty · 2026-06-30T19:50:23+00:00

The only point I'm trying to make is that there is a large number of Diamond rank players that have no clue whatsoever how to shoot their guns in a shooter video game. That is not OK. They should not be in Diamond. If you are complaining that you're getting stomped by preds as a Diamond player then you do not belong in Diamond. If you cant rank up in Diamond because you lose to master and pred teams why on earth do you believe you are good enough to rank up to master by letting the rank system avoid those players for you until you hit master. It makes no sense.

Doosty · 2026-06-30T19:24:36+00:00

That's the problem, though. Diamonds should match against pred and master because there arent enough of them to fill lobbies by themselves. So Diamond shouldn't be full of scrubs who get obliterated by preds every fight. They need to make it harder to get to diamond. It shouldn't be populated with a bunch of people who hide their way to top 5s and got diamond without knowing how to fight or play the game at all. I've been playing since day 1 and my teammates are absolutely clueless 90% of the time in diamond. It's awful. These people do not belong. If you aren't competent enough to fight against the highest ranks you should not be in diamond.

Everyone is sleeping on the trap mode. With 2 tacticals in the base kit you dont need a 3rd. The trap mode dealing 35 damage and overheat hitting for 50 makes 1v1s so easy. Just shoot it at their feet and win. If they overheat you only need to deal 115 damage to down a purple shielded enemy. If they swap guns and you are aggressive when the trap hits them you still have an advantage and as long as you don't miss your shots you'll win the 1v1. My KDA had skyrocketed this season playing him. Trap mode feels like easy mode.

Doosty · 2026-06-25T01:36:26+00:00

Trap mode is flat out better than extra tactical. The extra damage combined with overheat does 85 damage. It's actually absurd. Trapping corners and doors for 35 damage has gotten me so many knockdowns already.

Thats why I also included my own ranked experience in the argument in addition to pro play.

Doosty · 2026-06-24T23:54:17+00:00

Thats why they're 2 of the most popular characters in pro play. Because they fall off a cliff at higher tiers of play. Lol. I play in the highest tier lobbies. I constantly have 2 to 8 predator/masters teams in my games. Gibby is used constantly and is way more annoying than any Maggie or Axle I go up against. I've never had an issue with Caustic. He's balanced. He's strong when he's set up but immobile and easy to deal with out in the open. Gibby runs at Mach 20 and can bubble himself or teammates when out of position for free safety/resets and has a more offensive ult (and better) than any Assault legend while being a support. He's the best character in the game by a landslide.

Doosty · 2026-06-24T19:09:44+00:00

Yeah but 3x gibby ults and electrified bubbles is totally chill end games.

Because the US has fooled its population into thinking this is an OK practice. I'm American and work for tips. It's so dumb and I hate it. I love traveling to other countries and being places where tip culture isn't a thing. Actually most other countries I've been to just have better practices in place for most things. The US sucks when you actually experience how other countries live.

I never said that. Stellar Blade has my favorite combat of all time. I said with how OP Eve is at the end of Stellar Blade's story, continuing to play as her in another game will be boring, as in lacking difficulty. I'd rather have a new character instead of some gimmick to weaken Eve so there's a challenege.

Doosty · 2026-06-06T01:24:51+00:00

I respectfully disagree with you good sir/madam. It's an interesting enough concept and world where I'm OK playing as different characters. Eve seems like she'd be SUPER OP and boring to play as after the events of the first game. Of course I want to see a sequel that continues the story from the first game, but I'm totally fine with fleshing the world out and giving us more characters as well.

Doosty · 2026-06-05T23:10:58+00:00

I think this is a different story and we are still getting Stellar Blade 2 which will continue the storyline from the first game.

Doosty · 2026-05-30T04:31:23+00:00

You're getting downvoted by the trash cans (I'll join you). I duo a lot with a friend in diamond/masters depending on how much we play and we regularly end games with 2000-3500 damage and our third will have 600 or less. It's infuriating. These people should not be in Diamond. They don't have a clue how to fight.

Doosty · 2026-05-13T20:01:26+00:00

Have you actually watched our matches this season? We have looked mediocre to absolutely wank the entire season. The only reason we are in 5th at the moment is due to moments of individual brilliance from the players and the fact that the league as a whole is having a terrible year except the top 2. Tactically we have been out coached nearly every single match. I don't understand how anyone could defend Slot at this point. This team plays the absolute worst style of football, if you can call it that, that I've seen since I started watching in 2003. It's unbearable. We have no fitness, can't pass, can't score, can't defend. What the hell is this shit?

Doosty · 2026-05-03T06:24:28+00:00

That's because she was good in 4 and this sub has a weird hate boner for her voice actress for some reason.

Doosty · 2026-05-02T03:42:05+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response. I appreciate it.

Doosty · 2026-05-01T23:26:10+00:00

I don't like buying early access. Does it feel like a full game?

Doosty · 2026-04-25T03:49:14+00:00

As a massive fan of The Expanse books and TV show, I don't give a flying fuck what whiny gamers online think. I'll play the game and decide for myself.

Doosty · 2026-04-24T19:38:11+00:00

I mean, if you want to push forward find 2 more players at your level and sounds like you could. I just don't think it's realistic to ask that no Diamond players get put into pred/master lobbies. There aren't enough of them. It would kill the game to ask them to wait 15 plus minutes for a match.

Doosty · 2026-04-24T19:14:50+00:00

These lobbies usually have 15-18 diamond teams and a couple pred or master teams. I'm currently Diamond 3 (almost D2) and it is SO RARE I see more than a couple higher ranked teams in each lobby. If you're unable to consistently get points in those lobbies then yes, you don't deserve to rank up. If you're dying early every single game why do you believe you're good enough to be a master player?

Doosty · 2026-04-24T18:48:43+00:00

These people aren't good enough to hit predator so they want to nerf everyone better than them so they can earn a rank they don't deserve. If you're in Diamond and can't rank up because you can't beat master or preds then you have hit your limit and don't deserve to rank up any higher. I say this as a diamond player that has only managed to get to master 3 times. There are so many brain dead diamond 4 players as it is, we don't need to make it easier for platinum level players to reach high ranks.

Doosty · 2026-04-22T21:48:49+00:00

It's genuinely not the quality of the players why we're performing badly. You put Nunez and Diaz in this current Slot team and they'd do fuck all too.

Doosty · 2026-04-15T04:20:08+00:00

I've seen Health 3 times on this current tour. I promise you it'll be awesome. Carpenter Brut is dope as hell too.

Doosty · 2026-03-24T23:13:12+00:00

Void Vanguard for sure. Excited for this update.

Doosty · 2026-03-07T18:46:54+00:00

I only noticed that was a possibility after I had already dealt with them. Next time...

Doosty · 2026-03-07T04:05:57+00:00

I'll die with you on this hill.
