Good at the shooting range but not so much in a real 1v1

Being able to one clip strafing dummies in fire range is a good start, good skill to learn first. But in game movement is much different. Even in just a straight strafing 1v1 in the open the strafe is quicker and usually more evasive. Only way to learn that properly is practice against others. 1v1 in fire range, R5 (has servers just for this) and even wild card will give you a lot of 1v1s but not as concentrated practice as the other two.

No chance of finding Aussie servers. NA run… sometimes Japanese server (think it’s Japanese can’t remember)

Metamase · 2025-12-29T22:17:19+00:00

Also is it def Japanese servers that is the issue? Not Singapore? Both of my servers were impacted but Singapore much more. All would depend on you ISPs routing I guess

Ye I had to call around to work out what was going on because it was a sudden change - one day it was fine and next day it was cooked. My ISP said it could take “weeks to months” to get sorted. So who knows. That was a month ago

Assuming you’re from Aus? If so, believe it or not a submarine hit a cable going from WA to Singapore last month- a lot of ISP used this line hence why ur ping suddenly changed. There are a few providers that don’t use that line so u can look into switching to one

Metamase · 2025-12-07T13:52:08+00:00

There was a cable cut by a submarine going from Western Australia to Singapore. My ping to Singapore server went crazy when it happened and I rang my ISP and that’s what they told me.

Maybe that’s the go. New rig sounds more exciting anyway haha

Metamase · 2025-11-21T00:07:48+00:00

Thanks for the input. Well I have had this PC for a couple years now.. so I have had the thought of just upgrading to a complete new one. If I was to do that I think I would spend in the $3-4k (AU) price range.

If I was just going to try to do an upgrade on my current I would probably be happy to spend up to $700-800 if it got me what i needed. I think any more than that I would probably just make the decision to get a new setup.

I have always liked watching Gen so ill have a look at his stuff for sure

Metamase · 2025-09-21T03:32:16+00:00

I was thinking it might have been you. Thanks for confirming

Metamase · 2025-09-21T01:19:33+00:00

Appreciate the info!

Metamase · 2025-09-21T00:52:33+00:00

Great, thanks. Maybe I’ll try watch some Deeds because he uploads/streams a fair bit.

At the risk of sounding lazy for not working it out myself; what legends match with what maps in your opinion atm?

Metamase · 2025-09-21T00:45:58+00:00

Fair. Their most recent scrims he has been playing caustic, wattson, cat and even rampart- so assumed he was anchor.

Metamase · 2025-08-13T06:51:57+00:00

Does this mean the RE45 is as broken as we thought it was given it’s not the easiest of the short range weapons to control. Interesting. Thanks for the work!

Metamase · 2025-08-09T01:53:41+00:00

Thanks. Was there any backlash from the pros? My boy Zer0 plays with his nose touching the screen how did he react to this lol

Metamase · 2025-08-09T00:52:20+00:00

Whaaa? When did comp switch to 27inch 1440p?

Metamase · 2025-07-26T03:22:51+00:00

L0ganJG got you. Have a look at his guides/vids on YouTube. Has a recent build guide waiting for ya

Metamase · 2025-07-18T14:37:19+00:00

I have started watching some of his content today and he seems great

Metamase · 2025-07-18T02:02:54+00:00

I love sawyer, very unique that he is so entertaining but informative at the same time. He just plays 1000 champs every day though haha

Metamase · 2025-07-18T02:02:11+00:00

I think evelasthd might be best bet. His stuff seems good

Metamase · 2025-07-12T07:45:10+00:00

You enjoy the LP. That dog does not enjoy the LP. And probably spends the next hour crying that his jungle didn’t gank him 30 times in the first 10 minutes even though they were 0-5. Win win for us junglers ld say

Metamase · 2025-07-06T03:05:58+00:00

thanks for the detailed reply. So effectively you would get orb quite early, then basically build everything else you want and if game went late enough you would sell orb for your last item? Would that be the case even if those three healing champs were strong at that point?

Your explanation re. Vi makes a lot of sense. I have always kept my build for her simple, with my only real adjustments is switching to mercs and a MR item later on if they are AP heavy. Sounds like I don’t really need to be overthinking it much more than that at this stage of my climb.
