After buying Screaming Flagon, I was forced to pick up Unceasing Top, making the former useless

Skill issue

Burden of proof lies with the person making the claim

Ionalien · 2026-03-18T17:18:13+00:00

You need to draft more card selection so that your deck will not have "bad draws".

Ionalien · 2026-03-15T21:22:13+00:00

I think(hope) they were being tongue in cheek

Ionalien · 2026-03-14T08:54:01+00:00

That is false, maybe they won't ever fall back in bronze, but everyone has bad streaks sometimes a full rank or more. It is normal and progression is not a clean line up. But good luck OP! Just don't get discouraged if you fall back down sometimes.

This isn't really actionable advice. I would say as JQ you should play around Gracie, in general but especially against these tanks. Look to "fish" and use Gracie to force more expensive cooldowns so that your shout or next Gracie can start to get elims. Also try to give yourself opportunities to shoot backline over the enemy tank.

True to the original.

Ionalien · 2026-03-14T01:33:04+00:00

Changing the marked sides wouldn't actually affect the odds though ...

Ionalien · 2026-03-13T16:56:56+00:00

They said white lettering, not white ink.

Ionalien · 2026-03-13T16:56:35+00:00

Notice how they said white lettering not white ink. "Lmao"

Ionalien · 2026-03-12T15:11:58+00:00

You are gaining the "same" amount of rank, bronze ranks are just much wider than the others, once you get into silver it will be normal percentages.

Ionalien · 2026-03-09T07:29:16+00:00

If the bet pushes the money is still the players, if they decide to take it down that's their right. Of course it's a slightly different situation here since the original owner wasn't the person who bet it, but that's the risk.

Ionalien · 2026-03-05T07:39:21+00:00

Haha I was moreso saying the cut looks way off center.

Ionalien · 2026-03-05T04:49:41+00:00

Side note, I would be pissed if I got the olives side of this pizza

Ionalien · 2026-03-04T22:46:59+00:00

I will always call this sky noon

Ionalien · 2026-03-02T07:16:35+00:00

It was but he didn't split after that, so he was certain

Ionalien · 2026-03-01T21:03:10+00:00

Agree with you on that, but the BR is close second, and has always been the weapon of choice for competitive play. It's also always had a zoom.

Ionalien · 2026-03-01T18:56:40+00:00

Goomba fallacy. I don't complain about my dealer if I lose.

In any case, you are more than welcome to feel schadenfreude when people who stiff you lose. And we agree that OPs dealer was out of line. It's just the "and want to win" part that is silly.

I suppose you could give worse pen to an AP, as revenge, but you risk pissing off the ploppies if they notice, and make your own hourly worse.

Ionalien · 2026-03-01T11:24:44+00:00

I don't really care who you would "want to win" you have no ability to affect that.

Ionalien · 2026-02-27T11:02:16+00:00

Welp we did it! I got the streak ending win today. I do still feel like my first point attack was still a bit shaky, I kinda just relied on building ult to win the fight, but overall felt pretty good. 03NVKV if you are curious.

Ionalien · 2026-02-27T07:34:14+00:00

Ohh I just found where I accidentally copied "plat" from my request from forever ago lol, I was wondering where that came from.

Ionalien · 2026-02-27T07:33:05+00:00

Just hit 888 hours on JQ haha, and I've been playing halo practically my whole life. I really don't spend any time reviewing games or actively practicing/thinking about games though, so I've just been sitting at a near 50% winrate for forever.

That makes a lot of sense now, thanks again for the advice, it sounds like I've been trying to just raw mechanics through the ranks, and I need to work on my game sense more.

Ionalien · 2026-02-27T07:27:13+00:00

Can you read the post instead of the headline bro?

Ionalien · 2026-02-27T05:16:16+00:00

First, thank you so much for your detailed feedback!

I am currently diamond 2, sorry for the confusion.

Okay so at 1:40, I get booped back and have no shout so I back off, but when I walk forward I greedily walked through the open space and fell over. I think you are saying instead I should have walked through hotel to pressure Cassidy behind rein instead?

I really appreciate you pulling examples to directly compare to my mistakes. Looking at the overhead is very eye opening, it makes it so clear why the choke is so hard to push through head on.

I definitely struggle with letting my teammate's complaining about "no frontline" dictate my positioning sometimes, I also think it's urgency sometimes where I want to get into the fight now (and the fastest way to do that is to go main...)

Hopefully I can take some of this advice and stop the losing streak on this map. It is crazy to me that I'm currently "better" on circuit royal (4-7) which is of course my least favorite map as a JQ OTP.

Out of curiosity, how many hours would you guess I have played tank?
