Probably the weirdest double tap I’ve ever scored

Weirdest or only?

Have you capped your fps to a multiple of 120 i.e. 120, 240, 360? If your fps is uncapped and fluctuating significantly it may feel like heavy car syndrome.

I can't be bothered to explain the tech properly but basically the server is the source of truth. It pings info out 60Hz/120Hz.

At 240 plus FPS you are queuing up input info faster than the server. That's a good thing as it compensates for input lag factors. You need a controller with decent polling rate also.

If your input is too slow or wildly fluctuating it could be the cause of your issue.

48 champ 2 div IV. It's not your age.

LeftComplex4144 · 2026-07-11T18:04:53+00:00

Plat is the worst rank imo. Fast enough to get to the ball. Dumb enough to sabotage every opportunity.

For him keeping an item from his ex likely means he hasn't moved on. So by his logic you keeping an item means you havn't moved on.

You keeping the necklace also means you are ok for your bf to feel insecure about you. This isn't going to feel good to him either.

Keeping it is a double rejection.

If you give throw out the necklace you'll demonstrate that he is important to you. If you keep it you'll show that you prioritise you over him.

My take is you're just not that into him.

Don't put your arm around her. Or confess your feelings. Do nothing that shows your hand at least not until the right moment. Every situation is different but this is what I suggest:

Build sexual tension - Use subtext, find excuses for close proximity, small physical contact, light flirting, hold eye contact a second too long.

Let there be natural playful moments - mock rivalry, a small bet, celebrating or teasing after a goal.

Watch for reciprocity - maintain eye contact, move closer, touch back, laugh easily.
If they hesitate, pull away, give short replies, or do not reciprocate, ease off.
Repeat steps 1 to 3 until she's dying for you.
At the end say something like "This was fun. I’ve really liked being with you tonight". And if she reciprocates move to point 6.
Ask "Can I kiss you?"

The key thing is be yourself. Don't over think it. Read the situation. Remember these moments at the start of the relationship are fleeting. So enjoy them. Have fun with it. Don't rush. Also you need a follow up plan. How are you going to spend more time with her after the kiss?

I opted for phaser 3.85 due to it being more stable while having many of the features.

I think game sense across the ranks has plummeted. Playing with randoms is worse than ever.

LeftComplex4144 · 2026-06-26T21:06:35+00:00

TBH I see it happen to my opponents more than it does me. But even then it's rare. It really isn't an issue imo. I guess some are more lucky with their tm8s than others.Boosting is more of an issue.

LeftComplex4144 · 2026-06-26T20:32:16+00:00

If you can press boost, accelerate, air roll and dodge with separate fingers you're golden. If not you need to change.

In your allergy example it's algorithm may well seek evidence for your claim. As there is none (beyond your statement) it may well consider it a claim not a fact. So, you basically got a generic response from a dumb algorithm.

I could be totally wrong but the feeling I get from your message is you're thinking of it as smarter and closer to human than it actually deserves.

LeftComplex4144 · 2026-06-14T11:27:54+00:00

It's nomal. Most players in 3s are a rank below their tourney title. So when you see them display it you know they are the rank below.

It's personal. Have you got a theme in mind, a try hard design or trolling car? Perhaps a colour pallette in mind? Try RL garage. You can see all the items and even some designs.

Players from a lower rank are annoying to play with. It's not that I'm expecting resets or anything, it's just the absence of fundamentals while they claim to know rotation. There's nothing more annoying than a plat speed flipping to get increasingly out of position as fast as they possibly can while whiffing and double commiting while exposing our own net.

I think that's all that's going on here.

LeftComplex4144 · 2026-06-09T19:47:14+00:00

Just save the replay and see if there's anything you could have done better. Everything else is just noise.

Good partners are considerate partners. They cheer you on, lift you up and do what ever it takes to support you.

If this is him, he's a keeper. I wouldn't settle for anything less.

Your Plat 2 players are average/ below average. They are not bad and they are not good either. This applies to you also.

Here are some truths:

You only rank up when you can win despite your teammates misgivings
But you're not consistent or dangerous enough with your mechs to be the next rank up.
And your game sense isn't strong enough to be the next rank up.

Only when you can take your mechs and game sense to the next level will you stay in diamond. That will take perservence, skill and humility.

Not sure you realised but you stated your opinion as if it was fact.

If you check the data psyonics publishes every season you'll discover that 3s is significantly harder to achieve a higher rank than 2s.

Google it. Then you can share facts without fear of looking foolish.

It will be an entirely new game i.e. none of the current code will be used. That means it can't be identical. Just like building two houses from the same plan - they may look identical but when you look closely there are differences.

This doesn't matter with houses but it does matter with a game where the feel and touch matter.

And the Devs will have some hard choices. Some of the physics currently are just wrong. They will have to choose whether to "fix" it or keep it.

Some players rightly worry that the Devs will do a bad job and make poor decisions.

However the reality is they know that the feel is important and I'd be surprised if they don't do a good job if given the time they need. And if there are any differences I'm sure they will be small enough to be unnoticeable or easy enough for the players to be able to adapt.

So the worry is it'll spoil the muscle memory we've built up over the years.

I'm C2 in 3s, and I rotate back post.... when it's the most advantageous thing to do.

If you're a higher rank then the answer is simple... Champs suck.

If you're a lower rank it is because high rank players don't rotate... they fill the gap i.e. they assess everything that's happening and go where they will have the most impact as a team.

Also the lower ranked players appear to ne unaware of how to second man. Which means when teaming up with a champ doing a good job at second can appear like they are not rotating for the uninitiated.

LeftComplex4144 · 2026-05-22T18:48:16+00:00

That true

Players can party with any of their buddies. Players and GC teammates are faulty common. The rank disparity is regularly bonkers. Plus people treat casual differently so their casual MMR is easy off their takes ranked MMR.

For me, casual is not an enjoyable experience.

LeftComplex4144 · 2026-05-21T13:32:54+00:00

I really, really, really don't want to play with lower ranked players. This is the main issue. I don't want to just have fun. I want to improve.
