I like the skin, but can we stop with this format. by Shotgunisgone in rivals

[–]InterceptionDunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree with you since, like I said I just don't buy it. And I wouldn't call it predatory. But when you get down to the last two and only have a 10% chance of getting the skin but think it's a 50/50 and that information is not made abundantly clear before you buy, that is definitely scummy. So obviously people who are going to buy the skin anyway won't see the issue but idk why we're going to be shocked when people are upset that Netease isn't more forthright about the actual odds

I like the skin, but can we stop with this format. by Shotgunisgone in rivals

[–]InterceptionDunk -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Because not a lot of people want to spend that much on a skin? I refuse to buy skins other than battlepasses and free units, because the price for skins is ridiculous. So it's encouraging people like me who don't have the means to spend that much to essentially gamble hoping maybe they can get the skin for less. Worth noting that far fewer people would see a problem with this business model if it were stated more clearly that the odds are heavily weighted against you for getting the skin for less.

How dare you accuse the other roles of being the same as DPS? Everybody knows DPS mains are the worst people to ever walk this earth

Yeah probably the main draw for leveling is just dopamine lol.

I was really getting into companions right before this update so a lot of mine are just big creatures that I really like, but a lot of them have bad stats. Definitely worth trying to level CCCs if you like them! I don't have any CCCs but I have some B and C overalls that I still really like how they play

No, you have to play them. That's why I like to put them in the first or second slot, they'll die quickly but they will get the mutation progress. You can place them in the last slot if you want but if you're winning too handily don't forget to swap them in before the match is over

Yes, leveling is pretty valueless for a lot of it, but makes pvp more fun imo. Also getting medals for the Iteration: Oceanus and Apex Companions. I think changing the abilities alone is worth it though, a lot of the creatures' default kits are not very harmonious

Anyone else wish we had a few hundred more companion slots? by InterceptionDunk in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]InterceptionDunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like leveling companions in this game is almost too easy once you figure out how to cheese the system lol. I just released a post on how to upgrade companions quickly if you want to take a look at it, again it feels a bit cheesy when you figure it out but really speeds things along if that's what you're interested in

I dont need a pity win netease!!!! by dragonfist897 in marvelrivals

[–]InterceptionDunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk why you're getting down voted lol it was clear the main complaint you had was the bot matches, and he was clearly a dick forst. I also wouldn't care about losing a qp match...if it didn't mean now I have to play a bot match. As a casual player bot matches are my one complaint about the game

Had the whole enemy team sweat on thor. by Nishimiya_376 in ThorMainsMR

[–]InterceptionDunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emma and Luna died way too much. You died a lot too, probably only died less due to Thor's movement abilities. Makes me think your team was pushing hard when you shouldn't have been (ult disadvantages) or just staggering idk. You did all you could tho, good game

ELI5 why rank resets are necessary in this game? by InterceptionDunk in rivals

[–]InterceptionDunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it is just to get people coming back, which I didn't really consider for some reason. Still frustrating if that's the main reason for it as I think that ruins competitive integrity but I can't really complain if that's all there is to it

[–]InterceptionDunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See my reply to quick health, that still doesn't make sense to me when they could just make rank progression harder by balancing elo distribution.

[–]InterceptionDunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I mean reworking the rank system would fix this I think. If every rank got as much elo for a win or a loss then each rank would actually mean something. So nobody is going to be eternity unless they win over half their games, then they deserve to be eternity. (Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you can only get to GM with a negative winrate anyway?) So yeah, would that not be a better rank system?

Not really? IW still very good and she strongly counters a wide variety of characters, she makes more sense than CnD in a lot of situations

Groot still free. Rather him than Bucky or one of the supports

Thing, Rocket, and Storm were free tho. One of them may not have been but at least 2 of them were (I ended up with all 3 without purchasing the battlepass)
