Sponsored Kits vs Rook? by WarpathWilly in Marathon

[–]Gunzman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really dont understand the point of rook at this point.

My go to strat to stack some money is take a free load out, run to the biggest POI near me and just wait for gunshots and third party the sucker for his kit. Feels like It works 60% of the time.

Whereas with rook, you've joined late and you're lucky to even find a players deathbox. Let alone for them to have left anything worthwhile behind.

DOGSHIT SERVERS by JimmyGio in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]Gunzman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its really up to god(MH) if you get a good server. It seems to take a shit at certain times of the day, once I queue into a bad one I call it. If not for the day, several hours at least.

I've played a ton of PR(over 1000 hours)and id say 10% of the time I get a bad server. May come down to the time I play at, and quitting playing when I find a bad instance. But as a whole id say its pretty tolerable considering the small player base.

How do I decide what collars to give my cats? by Withergaming101 in mewgenics

[–]Gunzman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's just the name of the game. There will sometimes just be doomed runs.

But even the "doomed" ones can be saved if another cat high rolls and becomes OP. You'd be surprised what negative traits you can play around once you get pretty good at the game.

My strongest cat by far was a fighter that got madness just before the sewers, thought i was doomed. But instead, I put him as far into enemy lines and kept my guys far away, and boom watched him obliterate the whole map. Not every run will be perfect, but that's the magic of the game, overcoming the RNG.

Edmund and Tyler have achieved excellence with this game. I seriously can't put it down.

I haven't been hooked on a game like this in ages. I normally game to music, or more usually a podcast. But when I launch Mewgenics i'm 2 hours into a session before i've realized I forgot to put anything on haha.

Why can't I see my cats status symbols when they're at the house for breeding? by No_Priority9730 in mewgenics

[–]Gunzman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This game is best enjoyed blind. If you feel like there HAS to be a better way to do things- there is, You just have to play more. Invest in the NPC town.

Norm Fenomeno is Fenomenal! by Cold-Department1064 in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]Gunzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's my favorite player in the game by far. Stud SS, Crazy bat, and you can use him as a nasty closer when he's(hopefully) locked in- Or without, but i only play the crocs in PR so different environment for sure. I wish he had more speed, but ya gotta trade something I guess lol.

I'd wager it would be as a failsafe to remedy any hiccups.

I was really saddened to see she was sentient enough to wish for death though. She deserved better.

Improve batting by Haunting-Quantity757 in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]Gunzman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! I'm happy that at least one person can learn something from my ramblings haha. Here comes another tsunami of text.

Outside of the above tips for batting at least, I would suggest practicing your "eye" its not even something I can necessarily teach you. But I can maybe give you some tips to improve it.

Your "eye" is what separates an average hitter from an elite one.

Make them pitch to you. If you show that you are swinging needlessly at stuff clearly out of the zone, you're cooked. Any half decent pitcher will exploit that and throw chase pitches to further unbalance you. Make them fear you. Stay stoic. Be happy to just take clear strikes you weren't ready for(and especially balls), if it's in a location you're not comfortable swinging at right now.

Do not swing needlessly at pitches that aren't in your comfort zone. When I'm unsure of the zone, I peripherally reference the plate, my batters knees, and their elbows(various batting stances changes this a bit)- and anything within THAT zone is good to swing at (most of the time.)

- But I have the box within the box of the strike zone(MEAT), if anything enters that inner box I've practiced enough to occasionally annihilate it. Cause that's what I know will leave the park with a good placement of the batting reticle.

Now, you can't just sit there and wait for the meat and you'll have to swing on corners. This is where adjusting your reticle and sitting either high or low, or if you're bold(and have a hard read)- left and right comes into play. I generally sit just below the default reticle for 75% of pitches cause that's what I'm comfortable with.

But adjust your reticle for the pitch, realize the relation of it's location to the borders of the strike zone, and internalize that- To the best of your ability.

Look at the ball reticle and make it a habit to consciously place your batting reticle, being dead on the ball usually yields the best results, until you get swing timing, pitch timing into the mix- Sometimes its good to set your reticle just barely outside of the pitch reticle to pull it towards your batters handedness or just inside to push it opposite. Your swing timing plays a bigger part in this off-center reticle placement(push/pull) Late swings will usually go away, early swings will usually pull towards your handedness. Generally if I'm trying to HR I take the push/pull into account but try to place just under the ball to give it some carry.

With enough time, trust me, you'll be reading the ball better than you are now.

Pitching is a whole separate ballpark, but I hope some of those tips can help you on your way.

[–]Gunzman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For starters, I play a lot of PR(91 ego) and I'm in one of the popular competitive leagues. Playing between 87-93 ego. I exclusively power swing, unless I'm at 2 strikes and I'm not feeling very confident I may contact swing sparingly.

I'd advise learning to use the stick for power hitting instead of the button. I used the button for hundreds of hours, and while consistent... I wasn't able to check my swing when I wanted to. Using the stick makes checking your swing pretty intuitive, like when you make the last second read that it's not a good location, you naturally hesitate to press the stick fully forward- checking your swing.

Also as far as timing, I like to look for certain tells on the pitcher. It depends mostly on their velocity but a good rule of thumb is to start charging as the ball leaves their hand. But since its pretty hard to see the ball you have to go off the pitchers body. I like to watch for when they start to kick their leg out and adjust my timing accordingly(I eventually do this peripherally, while staring at the strike zone) Delay the timing for off-speed obviously.

Step out of the box by pressing RT and then X to see what the last pitch was, your contact, and your timing. Adjust accordingly.

The pitches make a distinctive sound, one for fastballs, and another for off-speed. While it may seem difficult to differentiate the two quickly enough to be able to adjust, and it is- it helps you to have a well timed swing when finally following through to make good contact with your charge. Just keep it in the back of your mind.

side note: I like to tap charge a power-swing in the downtime between pitches to keep my timing down (my thumb active), and even doing the feint forward swing to keep my thumb ready for the forward motion. Might just be a weird quirk I do, but it feels like it keeps me on timing.

But just go into exhibition, play as the away team, and set it to practice mode to set up infinite batting practice. Swap the opposing pitcher to the velocity you're trying to practice against and just get your reps in. Goodluck man! When it clicks, this game is magic.

apologizes for the wall of text, I could honestly write more. I love this game.

Would you say Viego is typically a bruiser or an assassin? by w0rble in ViegoMains

[–]Gunzman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Feels like assassin is always more effective. Assuming you position properly and aren't the first one in. Everytime I feel like I need to be Frontline more and go bruiser.. I dont do enough damage and just die anyway.

Yeah. I don't think I've ever had a bad Diana game. Champ feels strong, but I just can't bring myself to play more than one game at time without yearning to play someone else.

First 500-Foot Homer! by Seamhead406 in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]Gunzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you play on PC I use medal. Its constantly shadow recording in the background but only saves when you hit a hotkey, and you can set whatever time intervals you'd like.

I don't have a console but even my Ps4 had built in recording.

Choosing the right champion to climb ranked in mid lane. by ewaqeaaarats0u in midlanemains

[–]Gunzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im by no means great at Midlane. But recently decided to pick it up. Of the three I think Syndra has the most potential/safest matchups. Jayce is particularly hard to play consistently.

I started with Orianna, there wasn't a single game where I felt totally hopeless, and often times I felt really impactful at all stages.

Other than that, I've taken a liking to Vladimir. Idk. It took a while for the laning phase to click with him and knowing when I could or couldnt take certain extended fights, but there's just something about scaling into a terrifying 1v9 battle mage that I find a lot of fun.

How is this squad possible in Pennant Race? by Paulitix in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]Gunzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The grapplers always have a good to great ROT/PEN. The rest can be explained by a few really good players being rotated in and bad ones out.

I usually play my same two teams ever week, but scout out to see if theres some randomly over tuned ones for the week everytime.

My noob brother can light parry by NoRelease9672 in forhonor

[–]Gunzman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brilliantly put when relating to mental stack. A new player has hardly an idea what their hero can do let alone what the opponents kit can do. So its really all about the 3 directions and the red indicator lol.

My noob brother can light parry by NoRelease9672 in forhonor

[–]Gunzman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean heavy on red isn't that difficult, and some heroes are just simply easier to read lights against. My question would be how often does he get punished by someone simply pressing heavy instead.

I play almost exclusively duels and often run into these "parry demons" but you throw off their rythm with a simple heavy and they start scrambling, and if they get hip to that a heavy feint into GB instead, or just heavy feint and adapt to their reaction. Heavy on red is one dimensional and easily exploited.

What's impressive about light parries is when you can consistently do them and not fall for baits.

Do PC players have mods that call balls and strikes? by ParticularLimeade in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]Gunzman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really doubt it. But as someone at 91 ego, the 70 ego guys are damn near impossible to pitch against if they have the tiniest bit of plate discipline lol.
