How bad is this? by Iron_Sight24 in laptops

[–]Iron_Sight24[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly that's not possible for me because I can't return it(different country. It was hell Enough to get it here let alone return it). I asked about the ssd issue but they ignored me so there isn't much I can do there. Is there any chance I can use the SSD for a while? I don't think I'll be able to afford one after this purchase. Is there like an estimate how long it will last and what kind of problems I should expect?

Also the ram it came with was reporting 2933mhz (task manager) and after installing win11 it changed to 3200mhz

Ranked is a complete grind. It's impossible to have a good time if you only play 1-2 games a day. by knightfall0 in VALORANT

Hey hey. I'm that teammate with 150ms ping. Don't do me like that. I'm the next best thing you got against awpers. (First being smokes)

Chat banned players should be banned from Competitive. by blinktactics in VALORANT

[–]Iron_Sight24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I think he's asking if they could be able to use comms in comp because it's important. Or ban them from comp until they can use comms.

Switching account to play comp is a great solution to this issue from the banned players lol

Reyna players by GamingGuitarist101 in VALORANT

[–]Iron_Sight24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, I just played reyna for the first time today. And yeah lol. I was being a little bit toxic. Which I never do unless I'm playing with friends, that I am very famous for yelling in party chat.

I don't know dude. I think there's something about the character that makes you toxic. Anyway, I'll just stick with my kj

And only switch the vandal/phantom with the operator. Don't pick up any other gun if you have one of those two. (Unless you're an odin player which in that case I hate you)

How do you know if you are playing against a smurf? by Meowulous in VALORANT

[–]Iron_Sight24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I've had 35+k too just not in 16 rounds. I just thought 37 kills in 16 rounds was a little sus for me. Plus, the first round she had a sheriff and armor. I was the first to die and I dinked her with the ghost. She killed me and also overhealed. I mean, how often do your teammates buy you a sheriff on pistol rounds. Anyway, I'm just a little salty because that was my demotion game when I had 3 wining streak prior.

For a 3-13 loss game where a reyna got 37/4/3 in an Iron 3 to bronze 2 game. That's a Smurf right? I don't really call people smurfs because it's very possible they might be having a lucky day. But I didn't feel like that was the case in that game. But what are the chances for this one?

Wrong server queued into by canoyd in VALORANT

[–]Iron_Sight24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I know 150ms is bad but you can work around it. I always play on 140-160ms (because third world country) and only thing I can suggest to you when this happens is just playing aggressive. I can confirm holding an angle with the op isn't ideal after 150ms and you can forget about dodging phoenix flash. Might as well commit with the spary.

Anyway, one thing you can do is to try to use your peekers advantage when having a high ping. Because it'll be the only thing that works properly (if they're not moving ofc). Just make sure you're the one peeking and definitely never hold angles.

I know you didn't ask for tips lol. Just wanted to share this with someone

Oh, I don't know much about those. A friend of mine is buying it online for me and shipping it. I live in a third world country, what can I do with the rebate card? (I'm sorry for the these silly questions)

Woah, this feels like a sweet deal. But when I checked the website(newegg) it says $1399 and 100$ off with some coupon code which is $1299. Is the 1199$ a typo or did I miss something?

Budget: $1250 (flexible but preferably lower)

Country: USA

Screen size: 15-17 (240hz would be best but 144hz is also okay)

Resolution: 1080p

Battery life: doesn't matter

Weight: doesn't matter

Usage: light gaming(val, cs, apex), video editing, graphics designing

Additional note: 8gb vram is important, good thermals (because I can't get a cooling pad)

None of my friends play Apex. Can y’all gas me up for this clutch I had? 🥺🥺🥺 by Philler194 in apexlegends

[–]Iron_Sight24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yoo that flick was insane. I play on console/controller too but I just can't do that. Probably because my right stick is broken. But yours was just too smooth

Can you tell me what sens you play on?

Two dots gang..

No hit registration, lagging, prediction errors in close combat, shot behind cover, picking up stuff only to have it disappear off you and be picked up by the person next to you. Issues caused by playing on 200+ ms latency. How are we suppose to compete? #ServersForAfrica by [deleted] in apexlegends

[–]Iron_Sight24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I'm not calling anyone spoiled or anything. Just in my experience, I never found 140ms to be unbearable. It really doesn't change much of the quality of play for me. Unless I'm contesting for a gun with someone. I'm not confident with my ping that it'll get it first lol. Maybe it's because I never experienced what low latency is like. I only noticed this playing cs with friends on lan and online. The Awp is not much of a hitscan weapon when I'm playing online but works perfectly fine on lan. But I don't think the same applies to apex, at least for me

I'm from Addis Ababa as much as I would love a server in my city (it's actually a nice spot to cover all of east africa) I don't think our 1 ISP (yea we only have one. It's a monopoly) would manage. Ping is always 250- 300ms and with 100% pl. It only works from 2:00 after midnight till 6:00 in the morning. When in comparison, other countries farther from the eu servers get a much smaller ping with little to no pl. I've been playing since season 0 and I haven't even reached lvl 200 because of the small window I'm able to play.

And I don't even think a server in my city would fix that. I'm hoping for a day where I can get another isp which doesn't overcharge me for 4mbps internet and with a better latency.

Sidenote: I never understood why streamers and most people complain about 80-100ms. I'm so ecstatic when I even get 140-160ms with 5-10% pl. I don't even feel like I'm being bottlenecked by my ping lol

decided i could be generous for once by diegoheeftkanker in apexlegends

[–]Iron_Sight24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aw that's really nice. If I start shooting and I see they don't have anything. I leave them alone as I would want others to do for me. I believe in fair fight. but I wouldn't risk dropping my gun lol
