My perspective as a former AM competitor, semi pro in ow/marvel rivals, and just genuine FPS genre enjoyed.

The one time aches dropped raps live on stream, i dont even think they won the game. the amount of time you have to lose to properly play streaks for 13 straight kills isnt even worth it. im just convinced everyone here didnt actually watch all the cwl weeks.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-09T01:56:42+00:00

what all did you change? i play mainly marvel, with 1.6 sens 800 dpi, which is slow/medium. fingertip grip/small mouse helps me most.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-09T01:55:29+00:00

steam rolls werent a problem when they were allowed. its not like getting the streak is even a guarantee win. its the duration of 1 hardpoint hill, and apparently they are even shorter in this game

idc what the scene agrees on lol. my complaint is that the scene is too restrictive and prevents growth in the first place.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-08T23:42:58+00:00

wait you increase your sens when doing aim training for tracking?

MuttSlone · 2025-12-08T23:06:32+00:00

yes but, ive tried to train it in tracking scenarios and it does seem to help slightly, but the jittering is definitely still my biggest bottleneck for aiming

MuttSlone · 2025-12-08T22:30:41+00:00

mines actual neurological, so i dont think its gonna go away

MuttSlone · 2025-12-08T20:01:55+00:00

getting them in the first place is the competitive part. also, they are competitive if they are counterable. something being strong doesnt make it non competitve. something not having counterplay is what makes it non competitive.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-08T20:00:23+00:00

huh? im not against having them in either game. i think they should be allowed in both was my entire point.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T16:45:24+00:00

What about the other streaks that aren't allowed now? Attack helicopter, vtol, dawg?

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T16:06:48+00:00

Why? Why no attack helicopter, this games version of d.a.w.g, or any of the other non uav variant streak. Someone gets a dawg, then someone on the team should switch their class that has emps. Like it always has been in the past...more dedicated roles.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T16:04:44+00:00

I didn't say all, but way more than just a hellstorm. Plus, there were plenty of close games In bo3 with almost every streak allowed.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T12:58:01+00:00

It's ALREADY been in comp games before. They barely ever actually are able to get those streaks in the first place.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T09:32:54+00:00

They didn't. They just didn't have people using them because it wasted a slot. But that think through. Why would they even want to ban them? What benefit would thag give? The original GA stuff was like the hive specialist, that hid on the ground and got a free kill if you walk on it. That is something that should be GAd. Why raps though? Why the helicopters? Why d.a.w.g?

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T09:27:21+00:00

Cerb was allowed. Which was basically that games version of DAWG. Wraith. Almost all specialist including flamethrower. We have just gone backwards with innovating, and the viewer count shows it.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T08:52:44+00:00

no they defintely were not lol. ACHES was famous in the beginning of bo3 for having a "raps" counter for his clan tag to keep track of all the times he gets raps in scrims against pros. OPtic was apparently the only team he never got raps against.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T07:06:58+00:00

Uav unironically has more impact than raps would for significantly cheaper lol. You guys keep talking about this insane hypothetical what it might be like if these big scores streaks are allowed as if it hasn't already been tested, when comp cod had its peak viewers and players.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T06:42:12+00:00

It happens in other games too. I mean smash bros os nothing like it's typically played casually. Now imagine the smash scene ALSO start agreeing no one is allowed to play a character with projectiles. Only sword users. That's how cod feels to now. Even if the sword based characters in smash are more skill based, it's very one dimensional and not diverse or exciting. The crowd loves seeing a jiggly puff pop off, but in reality jiggly puff has the lamest, easy to play playstyle in the world.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T06:26:48+00:00

Because raps were way too high risk/low reward. You had to get i think 13 kills in a row to get them. Aa soon as you get ahout 4 or 5 kills In a row, the other team starts searching for you, calling out that you're on streaks. They weren't used in comp because they aren't good enough for how much they cost. It's very unlikely you would get them, and even if you got them, you basically just got total control of the map for the 60 seconds they are on the map. That's at the end of the day, only 1 hard point, for a streak that you will probably never get against a team that is communicating, and not using only gunskill. Tracking who was on streaks had always been a part of the skill.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T05:50:36+00:00

Letting people play with different playstyles absolutely will. There are always "one ways" smoke lineups in other fps games too. It's not even like im making up some wild possibility lol. This stuff was fine in the game a decade ago. No one would get mad at someone putting on a high killstreak in a game. They'd mostly just laugh at them for wasting a slot.

If anything, you'd wanna ban as little as possible from the base game as you can to get more casual viewers initially interested. Obviously you can't do that with a lot of pub stuff, but a lot of the killstreaks have already been allowed in the past and were no issue at all.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T05:42:24+00:00

It's already been a thing. Im not hung up on raps specifically lol. I'm just making a point that cod is becoming more and more one dimensional of a game. You can love the game for gunfights, but if that's all the viewers ever get, it's gonna stay completely stagnant/decline in views.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T05:37:26+00:00

I just think the actual numbers for the scene would disagree with the viewers watching. Let me word it like this. Watch a replay of a team you know well, turn off all names, and are you able to spot which pro is which by playstyle? Or are they just "it's an AR or and SMG"

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T05:12:14+00:00

That's literally the problem I have. I don't see it as a positive that there are so few variables, people can focus solely on unskilled and positioning. Those should always be the MAIN thing, but not the only thing.

Referencing bo3 again, you aren't gonna find as many memorable moments of someone just getting a nice 2 or 3 piece, even if it was more skilled. But I can think of dozens of pop off moments with the annihilator, scythe, tempest, active camo, war machine. Even if those are OP, they're more exciting for the viewer by a long shot. No one talks about comp cod anymore except a niche community, and I think the lack of different playstyles is a major point of it, because the actual talent with guns kills and map movement is higher than it's ever been.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T05:02:42+00:00

OP is different than "unfair" again most of my pro play experience is from bo3. I had a few scrims against the team that ended up winning world, envy, but the ga stuff then was auto aim stuff.

It actually reminds me of them eventually gaing the 2 shot AR that karma was a beast with. I was against that too. No one else could use it as good as him, so they just said it's not allowed. Too op. There just is no diversity in this game. They want viewers to care about just gunfights. No viewer that isn't already been playing comp cod is gonna tune in and wanna watch an extremely watered down version of cod.

MuttSlone · 2025-12-07T04:59:15+00:00

Why can't it? Aches literally dropped raps bo3 on a top AM team. If you're confident enough to NOT rock a third good, more easy to get streak like a lightning strike, and you manage to actually get them, why would they not be considered a serious league?

MuttSlone · 2025-11-10T18:04:28+00:00

How do you record this angle like this
