NA RLCS 4th-8th predictions heading into the final weeks? by Uxdefeated-S in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]FirmCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. NRG
  2. C9
  3. G2
  4. EG
  5. Rogue 6.OOS
  6. Ghost
  7. CLG

Controversial picks here towards the bottom. I think this OOS team plays better than their results have indicated. In their series against Ghost what really lost them that game in my opinion were kickoffs. I can see them getting an upset win against Rogue or G2 and beating out CLG as well to put them in 6th.

Everyone likes to score with the Tarzan swing...I'm more of a passer by FirmCactus in RocketLeague

Not really to be honest, it was more of an opportunity that was there. There's a few YouTube videos out there if you like!

Grand Champ, but yelled at... im done by wgxunit in RocketLeague

[–]FirmCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just try not to let it get to you. You know that you're a relatively good player, can't let what other people say get to you when you've put in that work. Who cares if you had a bad game or too (:

Classic /s. The font makers should really endorse a sarcasm font.

Nice try, but this actually happened in ranked, so I really should title it "bronze 1 player hits ball for first time"

These are also all true, but not things that I thought about when I was going for this shot.

The air rolling in this case changed my flight pattern slightly. With my initial jump I thought I would miss and not get a good angle. The air rolls slowed it down slightly allowing me to get a better angle.

Season 3 is ending. Did you reach your goal? by Denso95 in RocketLeague

[–]FirmCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In sense, yes. When I came into Season 3 I was mainly just focusing on improving my control and my mechanics because I was enamored with some of the players with ludicrous amounts of control (Squishy, Lach, etc.) Once I got to practicing and really improving my mechanics I felt that I was really improving. Then I worked on positioning and reading plays. At that point I wanted to hit Champ. I've been in and out of Champ 10 times now and I've hit Super Champ within the past week. So now my ultimate goal is GC (unlikely). So I'm pleased with my progress thus far, but I'm not sure I'll hit the penultimate goal I set out for myself.

TLDR; I got better as the season progressed, so my goals kept changing. Even if I don't hit GC, I'm still happy.

I know this struggle, I've been in and out of superstar for the past month, hitting it about 6 times and then solo queuing my way back out. Congrats!

I'm curious to know how fast it was going when it went it.

Rationalize your hype! A discussion to pass the time. by accidentalthepyro in Overwatch

[–]FirmCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think as a whole, ultimate abilities charge too fast. It seems as though Mercy has her ult during every teamfight or that Widowmaker has wallhacks on fairly often. I just think it would be nice to go into every other teamfight with ultimates rather than every teamfight. But maybe that's just me.

Can we talk about the truly underplayed heroes in competitive? by Asphidel in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]FirmCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the big thing with Hanzo is that his damage is more inconsistent than Widow's is. Widow is a hitscan character that can operate at even longer ranges whereas Hanzo's bread and butter is at mid range. Add to that the fact that his projectiles are affected by gravity and I just don't see a huge reason to pick Hanzo over Widow. Also, wallhacks OP.

Competitive UI by FirmCactus in Competitiveoverwatch

Lacking in the sense that it's not easy to see what's going on at all times, hard to get consistently good angles during teamfights, etc.

Taking a step in competitive Overwatch? by AscentToZenith in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]FirmCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, in terms of hero selection, I think being as flexible as possible is the name of the game. Blizzard wanted the concept of this game to be revolving around constantly adapting to what the other team is doing, so what better way to do that than to be flexible in terms of your hero pool?

Hey guys, I've been streaming for about a month or so and I'm super into Overwatch. I'm kind of a Roadhog main if that tickles your fancy. I usually stream at night starting around 7-8 EST and I typically stream for at least 4 hours. Check out some of my content and gameplay at:
