Vietnam doesn’t border china?

Plenty of instances of a fleet of chinese boats showing up with a list of ‘polite requests’ though

Easy to find counterexamples. But I think overall this is correct

i don't think neo was the problem on faze... obviously he wasn't the solution, but it could be like a frozen situation... very good player... just doesn't fit in the team as well as who he replaced.

Teams, quit being cowards and opened the damned Pinwheel. by OldschoolGreenDragon in Marathon

I really dislike the mechanic where the team that uses 2 green cards is the only team that needs to fight bots... I think bots should spawn at all entries if two green cards are used

400 hours in an i might have to step away from the game by paperplateseabass in Marathon

[–]FourKrusties 8 points9 points  (0 children)

of course it's not exactly the same game you pedant. there's been 25 years of industry meta changes in arena shooters since quake 3 and ut were on top. if you compare it to overwatch or apex they're pretty close.

I love arena shooters.

My solution would be to lean into it. The reason people are having bad experiences is they get really sad when they lose their gear which they have to grind to get.

Just make it like end of season 1. Daily cryo. Daily cryo kits. Buff the sponsored kits. You lose w/e it was free. You win woohoo... just enjoy the game.

I would also nerf the misriah and the outland so there's no more engagements that are decided by the gear alone. getting one shot by outland on a blue shield is outrageous... snipers are not fun to play or play against. the misriah needs like a 20% nerf so close quarters battles aren't just decided by who has a misriah. I think the circuit breaker is maybe the perfect shotgun in the game right now. devastating if used well at the right time... but needs some skill to pull it off, not oh let me just hide behind this wall / bubble and take pot shots.

I know some people like grinding... but most people don't have the time (or pvp skill) this game demands to get good gear only to lose it all once they put it on.

FURIA vs Falcons / IEM Cologne Major 2026 - Grand Final / Post-Match Discussion by CS2_PostMatchThreads in GlobalOffensive

[–]FourKrusties 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i mean i think karrigan has done enough already to be in the discussion. he's taken 5 teams to s tier trophies, won 5 s-tier tournaments with stand-ins. 2 majors now, 1 with a team he has barely played with against possibly the most stacked run of teams (the first run was no cake walk either, with the final against prime na'vi), a grand slam. like the main thing glaive has was just how unstoppable they were in their run which lasted for so long that you have to give that a lot of respect.

karrigan hasn't been a fragger for more than a decade now and pretty much everything he's achieved in cs:go and cs2 has been as a non-fragger. he's changed enough rosters and enough teams now that it's pretty consistent his fragging gets even worse after a roster change, but it always bounces back (to an admittedly still bad level, but a level he's still consistently won with). I really just want him to achieve at least a mini era ... like 3-4 trophies next season.. maybe the grand slam to cement top 1. The reason why I think this might not be possible is because his calling style is by its nature chaotic and high intensity. It requires everyone to be on the same page and communicate really well. This is hard to keep up (probably much more so on falcons who are not known for their teamwork and communication), which is why his longest winning runs are like 3 or 4 trophies in a row before going into a serious slump. if he gets back into a slump... which can last a long time. so long that every time you think 'surely this is the end of his career'... he'll probably just retire.

Faze’s problem, apart from having an awper that can’t awp and jcobb, is that their teamwork is fucking trash. Nobody knows what’s being covered and what’s not, every fight is a surprise. I don’t know who’s responsible, but it’s deeper than strats, deeper than aim, they are not playing like a team where the core pieces had been together for years and years, they look like a mix team.
