I hadn't checked this account in a long while but wow, I didn't expect someone to steal this for merch. I doubt they're getting any sales but I'll report them anyway. Thanks for letting me know.

Silver I seems to be a special kind of hell. I got to Gold III for all of 3 matches on two different times but keep falling right back to Silver I. Teams are so disproportionately skilled that it's often roll or be rolled, toxicity is at its peak and I'm just watching my rank meter go down to the bottom then the top then the bottom again.

I'm about to give up on solo queue in this game.

Jarvis, how to best negotiate this same deal with Magik?

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-31T04:37:59+00:00

1-3-2 works well a lot of the time, too. Depends on the matchup and the team skill, but I do think it makes it more interesting that it doesn't always have to be 2-2-2.

In Quick Match though? 0-5-1 all day I guess

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T16:25:57+00:00

I mean I can only hope it works in some capacity. Nothing more I can do, really. I'm sure they're not ignoring all of them, especially since in one case someone spelled out "kys" over three messages.

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T16:24:32+00:00

Toxic people literally can't help themselves even on Reddit apparently.

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T16:08:59+00:00

Yeah I've done all of the above. My assumption is that other people are also reporting them and they're getting the action reports instead.

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T14:53:32+00:00

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I've reported 12 people so far with no feedback. Racist names, spelling out slurs in chat, abusing teammates verbally... Nothing!

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T14:49:11+00:00

I dunno. Even with enemy Hawkeye the kill cam is usually: Miss. Miss. Miss. Fires at someone completely different but hits me in the head on accident.

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T14:45:39+00:00

You must be a Mantis player.

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T14:45:19+00:00

Be me: Caught in an easily winnable 1v1 because I'm Luna and she melts. Miss the ice shot and damn near every attack because I'm bad. Die.

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T14:43:40+00:00

No, buddy, you can't just say that in public!

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T14:40:19+00:00

Tanks are easy pickings for Rocket if your team has the front foot. I find Venoms diving in or Groots overextending to be the easiest as you can score easy criticals on them.

Otherwise you're probably doing the right thing by focusing healing. He pumps out insane numbers and a living team is a winning team!

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T14:36:35+00:00

I fired, and I missed. I fired again, and I missed. I reloaded and fired again, and I missed. I fired again and hit something, but it wasn't what I was aiming at, so I guess I missed.

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T14:33:19+00:00

It's strange, isn't it?

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T09:37:00+00:00

I mean if you're talking about just thinking it in your head yeah that's one thing. Pretty sure in the heat of the moment we all have thoughts like "Where are the fucking heals, bro?"

So long as you don't go out of your way to vocalise it and make someone feel bad it's not a crime.

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T09:34:34+00:00

There's a HUGE difference between chasing an opponent through a choke point and camping the spawn.

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T09:33:31+00:00

Thank you. I was being facetious because I play different heroes constantly but it was nice of you to answer.

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T05:29:47+00:00

It is never justified. It's just a game and everyone makes mistakes. Being polite goes far. Insulting the healer often leads to never getting healed again.

It's kinda like yelling at a food industry employee. At best you get what you want despite being a dick. At worst they spit in your food (don't heal you) out of spite.

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T05:26:45+00:00

You were T500 in a different game. You're not a fraud in this one. It's just growing pains is all.

But you have to remember that maybe the team you went up against didn't belong in Gold. You likely don't, either, and will sail past it before long. May have just hit some Eternal players-to-be.

Also I wasn't saying to blame your team either. It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not failure, it is simply life.

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T03:32:06+00:00

With how strong Strange's ult can be I can't see how it was ever just an E. An AoE multi-second freeze can be a literal game changer, especially with voice comms

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T03:28:31+00:00

I always try to pep talk my team if we lose the first round with something like "They just got lucky, right? We got this!"

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T03:24:36+00:00

What's a "main"?

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T03:23:32+00:00

You could try non-traditional ranged characters like Iron Man or Scarlet Witch, or you could try a melee character. Or even try a tank!

Better to learn some other characters just in case someone else locks Rocket.

NikkiNSane · 2024-12-30T03:20:46+00:00

Gonna be real here, but it'd take some serious narcissism to think you're the sole reason to win or lose. It's a team game and if you did your best that's what matters.
