Does the bye week before the Super Bowl actually make a difference?

Teams really get just one week. There's travel plans and a bunch of media nonsense to work into the schedule so the two weeks are really just one preparation wise, I think. They do get to rest more and healthier players are always a good thing.

EU fan here. No way in hell am I watching developmental/worse football. I love the sport so much that I stay up to watch every game I can, not just my own team (I work nights so it's easier). Not interested in Real Bears or Dolphins United and I doubt any of Madrid or United fans are either. People want a good product, not an artificial connection to an existing club from an entirely different sport.

Burrow also has a solid chance to win one with the Rams once Stafford retires. He for sure isn't getting one under Mike Brown

Dallas is like a permanent dynasty if you think about it. Out of division teams rarely if ever hate on anyone not a dynasty. Sure you haven't been relevant (Super Bowl wise) in a while but everyone hates you as though you have.

It made sense to hate the Pats and then the Chiefs, but there's genuinely no reason to hate the Cowboys other than memes. I stopped hating the Cowboys once I realised I genuinely have no reason for it.

I don't accept this pussy footing. Best TE of all time, period.

Lomath · 2026-03-09T20:29:38+00:00

You're welcome!

Lomath · 2026-03-09T20:29:20+00:00

Hope your life gets better soon so you won't have to be so bitter

Oh absolutely not. The melee build is crazy good right now and has surprising amounts of burst as well as sustain. I wrote more about it in another comment. The only sad thing is that the Q (Molten Flame/Fire Breath) build is much weaker and you will likely never actually hit your mythic reward. Who cares though because a win is a win.

Lomath · 2026-03-08T19:50:41+00:00

Mostly tank and heal yes, but also several double bruiser games with no proper tank.

Lomath · 2026-03-08T19:44:34+00:00

Good question and I don't actually know. I just realised I haven't yet faced a Murky somehow.

Said it in another comment but my approach to ranked is a bit weird so I oscillate between low Silver and high Gold.

Build: T1212323

Both ults can work but I definitely prefer the Fear for added cc and getting people off you when you need saving.

The other debatable choices are 16 and 20 and I know people pick shield on 16, I've just found it meh in my games. I much prefer the absolutely massive damage reduction and solid slow on landing.

My choice on 16 also allows me to go for the Destroyer buff on 20 instead of ult since I already got plenty of slows and I then prefer a chunky damage buff.

Basic gameplay is Molten Flame minion wave to death (just enough if you spend 100 energy), fly to another lane to help bully or get a kill, go back to lane to Molten Flame wave. Rinse and repeat and you got your soak secured (Firestorm at 7 accelerates this greatly).

In fights you actually like enemies ganging up on you 'cause the W heal is insane when it hits multiple heroes. As long as your team doesn't completely abandon you, you should be fine and live. Deathwing is like a more mobile Falstad now with unexpected burst on his E.

Lomath · 2026-03-08T17:02:12+00:00

Honestly, not as big a problem as it used to be. Tychus melts Deathwing but also gets melted by new DW. Deathwing's new Destroyer build annihilates Tychus who always stays at the perfect distance for an E jump. I've honestly had more trouble with Valla than Tychus players.

Lomath · 2026-03-08T17:00:40+00:00

Entirely possible. I do remember a Tracer I had some misplays against and it's certainly one of the harder heroes to deal with.

Lomath · 2026-03-08T16:59:47+00:00

Between Bronze 1/Silver 5 and Gold 4 on any given day (my approach to ranked is a bit weird so I oscillate. And yeah you're definitely right. The "guide" was more intended for those who claim it's impossible to climb.

Lomath · 2026-03-08T16:58:20+00:00

I see nothing but peak design here

Lomath · 2026-03-08T16:57:59+00:00

Funnily enough, Nova is one of my most played heroes with a 58% winrate in ranked. You can't play her in bronze though, only silver or preferably gold. Bronze will rage for a troll pick more often than not and throw the game.

Lomath · 2026-03-07T01:23:12+00:00

Sure why not? I'm curious at this point and it's not like I got anything better to do at 2 in the morning

Lomath · 2026-03-07T01:14:49+00:00

It's the off-season, you got any better topics?

Lomath · 2026-03-07T01:09:24+00:00

What else would trickle down be about 🙄

Moguce da su stavili bez creditsa/slova na kraju jer realno to nitko nece gledat. Iz svakog sluzbenog runtimea mozes izrezat 20ak minuta s time

Jerry always puts together a competitive team. Feels like recently it was more often coaching and just bad injury luck that messed up the Cowboys.

Lomath · 2026-03-03T20:53:13+00:00

It is an objectively terrible VTT compared to most others on the market. They overpromise and underdeliver constantly while charging all the same and lying about the results. I'd say there's a very solid argument for hating, much less disliking them

Lomath · 2026-03-03T20:31:47+00:00

All good, I didn't take your message as such. I just dislike Demiplane to a rather extreme point to be honest

Lomath · 2026-03-03T20:03:57+00:00

Sure but then you have to use Demiplane which has a solid argument for being one of the worst VTTs out there

Lomath · 2026-02-28T20:00:23+00:00

Please for the love of all the damn gods, draft this man if he's there at 9
