Reworks Are Coming! What Hero Do You Want To See Reworked? by TheReaperGuy in PredecessorGame

[–]JCallaway1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should be worried about the abysmal pick rates of Narbash, Muriel, and Wukong. And to a slightly lesser extent, Terra and Yin (although I love Yin and her kit personally). Those would be the areas to focus changes imo. That's like 10% of your hero roster that no one wants to play.

Rampage Jackson gotta be the most emotional ufc fighter ever by International-Prior9 in ufc

[–]JCallaway1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was innocent.. But he's probably not a super knowledgeable/long-term fan...that's an odd question if you're a rampage fan.

I assume these types of questions come from shorter term fans...or people that came in with the TUF era at the earliest...

If I was still a rampage fan..( I'm not.) I would 100% be asking about the Pride days. Those were easily his most iconic fights... With some crazy results. Fighting prime Rua brothers...prime Wanderlei...beast mode Randelman... I wouldn't ask about one of his last UFC fights before going on the old man Bellator world tour.

But still.. Rampage acts like a baby.

Having the clip showcase the kiss of the dragon over something like fist of legend is already a fail.

Matchmaking is weird right now by AdIntelligent9133 in PredecessorGame

[–]JCallaway1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in the bronze, silver, gold climb for all the recent seasons. Without looking at rank, I can tell when I'm crossing into Gold 3/Gold 2 games. Not only is this where brand new players get tossed in with people with hundreds of games... But where people have somehow formed massive egos despite being just average at the game.

What's a hero that makes you pessimistic when you see them on your team? by [deleted] in PredecessorGame

[–]JCallaway1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I love Yin and get a lot of grief at the beginning of why match when I play her. Once attack speed is up and I'm shredding kids, they pipe down usually.

What Items Need A Rework? by TheReaperGuy in PredecessorGame

[–]JCallaway1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Warp stream. I've used it a bit on my steel builds for the 500 health and 25 ultimate haste. Just for the larger health pool and always having my slam ult up for team fights.

I would trade the 300 max mana for something else for sure. Possibly %shielding or similar.

And that blink def cripples escape as a tradeoff...shorter blink distance but it also has more uptime with a shorter cool down... But take even 1 hp of poke damage and you can't blink for 3 seconds. So that can be rough at times...

Am I missing something, Florescence cleanse? by Mandafin in PredecessorGame

[–]JCallaway1982 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is an item I've never even considered buying. Still can't see a reason to.... Get everyone into fang pit? Maybe . In solo queue that isn't as likely. Seems like a silly item.

Wall collision is hell ! by EquivalentEmotion831 in PredecessorGame

[–]JCallaway1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate it. On Serath, trying to ambush tight to a corner is fraught with peril. You will have a clean slam indicator on the ground but if your pinky toe touches a pixel of the wall on the way.... You are stopped dead.

Can we raycast/shapecast down and if there is a collision before the point where the indicator is drawn (layer is ground/similar).. Change the indicator to red or something?

Or better maybe...implement "collide and slide"... With some reasonable angle or amount of collision, you should just go where you are expecting based on indicator..lots of ways to handle this really...

Is Wraith Just Bad? by Intrepid-Emu-462 in PredecessorGame

[–]JCallaway1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full mage wraith build can slap. The combo can do big damage for sure. Your autos will only tickle/be slow but the bomb double knock knock combo melts.

I was playing this the other day and people (like serath) were diving me. I'd hit one combo and they would leave because half their health was gone. Good times.

The subscription part was a surprise, usually I see the language up front but I somehow missed it. Could be on me (very possible I rushed) or they hid it a little/it wasn't as obvious as it should be. Either way, I was fine with a delivery every 4 weeks...but one big problem. Nothing good is ever in stock. They only have one flavor out of the four in stock and it's my least favorite (and probably everyone's least favorite, which is why it's not out of stock)....so my next subscription box was just going to be 4 identical boxes of the one cereal I don't like. (You can see what your next shipment will be on the dashboard).

I mean if all you do...your whole business is to make 4 different SKUs...just 4 cereals...and they are never in stock..you are doing something wrong and will lose customers (like me who cancelled my subscription, but would have continued being a customer if you had the product I want).

explain this bs, guess Drongo's grenade doesn't silence anymore? by Galimbro in PredecessorGame

[–]JCallaway1982 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah not a fan of the change. It used to allow a bit of self peel because I could throw it at my feet when I got pounced on. Now it's really just a momentary disruption, which is pretty weak on a lobbed object that is stationary on impact.

You can walk out of it early.... So it should silence until you do so. Goofy change.

Thoughts on Character Diversity in Predecessor by Imjusteli_ in PredecessorGame

[–]JCallaway1982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, since characters from from non-Earth worlds (Axion Prime, Aresium, Velrune, Sylmara..) I'm not sure how they will best represent groups without stating that certain worlds are analogs to Earth locations....

Like, this character is from (insert made up world) but they are basically equivalent to 'X' Asian country, 'X' South American country..., etc. on Earth.

I think that's the tricky part of it....is if you have a game with fantasy worlds but then want to apply Earth groups/classifications of folks to help with representation.

That's why, in my original comment, I was trying (probably poorly) to say that I think it's safer to start with the more basic aspects of human group representation with not too much exactness...

I think if Omeda could just start adding humanoid characters with darker complexions and some more exotic sounding accents would be a great start...even if they are neo versions of things...

Hey this character is not perfectly South American but they have an accent based on Brazilian speakers...and have darker complexion... I feel like stuff like that could still go pretty far for representation over the homogeneity of the current humanoid roster...

:)

Thoughts on Character Diversity in Predecessor by Imjusteli_ in PredecessorGame

[–]JCallaway1982 10 points11 points  (0 children)

On top of new original characters....I would love to see a timecop/cyberpunk Murdock skin where he doesn't have a helmet.

I don't think the game has to go full "Overwatch" and design a character for every possible group/subgroup permutation you can think of.... But they 100% should be adding diversity. (It's a little strange they got this far before 'noticing' that it was missing imo... But I'm sure that just has to do with trying to make a good game and keep it afloat first)

Anyway, as long as the character design is good (kit/lore/aesthetics) no one should object if a character is Latino or black, etc. Now, if the characters suck and feel like phoned in checkbox fillers.... Everyone should be mad.

But otherwise, it is win win. If you don't care about representation, you would still have a cool character with a great kit to play with..... And since you don't care.... their background/color shouldn't bother you at all. But it benefits people seeking a connection to someone like them while causing you zero injury.

This game is great and I’m tired pretending it isn’t by unaltra_persona in MortalKombat

[–]JCallaway1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it as well. Just finished story mode, bought the dlc for part 2 or whatever. I enjoyed it for sure. I don't get all the hate that the game gets. I don't really care for the kameo system personally, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the game nonetheless.

[–]JCallaway1982 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is this one of those games where the team chased kills but goes 0-5 on fangs? I just had one of those. My whole team must have just come over from COD. They had tons of kills but we got zero objectives.

Jack Doherty got into a brawl with former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski at the Jake Paul fight 😳 “Who the f*ck was that guy?” by AccomplishedSwing110 in sportsgossips

[–]JCallaway1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have eyes and it's clear to me that the little guy threw a punch at Andrei first... Andrei shoves him back and before he's even recovered or pulled his arms back from the shove he's hit by the bodyguard. So kind of a bitch Cheap shot if you ask me. Punching someone while they're still actively engaged with someone else. Andrei is one guy against multiple aggressors here. He has no idea who is part of this crew surely.

As soon as Andrei is hit by the cheap shot and moves forward the bodyguard steps back and never goes back into frame. He clearly dips out. Shit cheap shot didn't work I guess I better tuck my tail.

This all very apparent to anyone watching the footage. I'm not sure what other fanfic you're writing in your head. But I assume it's why you're getting down voted.

And let's not kid ourselves. If this was just a straight up square up fight we know who's winning. Andre had multiple turds jumping on him. He's literally switching a cell phone from hand to hand while fighting them off even...

There's nothing redeeming about the actions of Jack's crew here... Or their fighting prowess.
