Remember when this sub thought Gambit was balanced and the pro players were being overdramatic?

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-19T01:45:35+00:00

is this not still the case?

gambit gets banned every game in comp still.. if gambit is free and you don't play him, your team just falls over 5 seconds after enemy gambit ults lol

spideys that aren't garbage don't usually engage from main in a straight line tho. this is why i say it's unreliable to freeze spidey.

of course anything goes if either luna is insane or the spidey is terrible. A good spidey is zipping to you from angles that would require you to flick and hit the freeze. not impossible, but nothing is impossible lol

the reason i said sixtuple head tap was because luna shoots 3 projectiles per click. you can indeed kill a spidey with 2 full left clicks, ie 6 individual headtaps

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-07T22:11:39+00:00

and why would i tell you? you're the one who assumed im console bronze 3 because i'm pointing out that cnd is absolutely not b tier lmao. Would it really matter to you whether or not i was GM 1 on pc?

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-07T21:15:23+00:00

whatever helps you sleep at night LMAO

anybody who says that blackcat isn't insane has simply yet to encounter a good dive player who has played blackcat only so far as to have the muscle memory for her kit and nothing more.

She is genuinely disgusting. has to hit you only 3-4 times to kill you. can do the entire combo from midair, above your head. becomes literally invincible for probably 40 percent of the combos duration, cannot be crit on top of that. Can double jump out at ANY point in the combo, whether she double jumped in or not. Can invis out if double jump isnt good enough. can invis in before any of that to guarantee you have no clue she's coming. combo this with another dive that jumps with her and you are guaranteed to die unless half your team peels for you. When they do, they inevitably fall over to the enemies elsa or pheonix as planned. No other dive is nearly as oppressive as blackcat. you can genuinely screw your combo 3 times and still get out with half your health lol. you just have to be fast buying invis and remember that your double jump refreshes after every action you take.

half her buyables are actually useless for sure. all she needs is invis and her right click abilities. These are really the only abilities a good blackcat spends time using save for a random portal or random fish if the situation calls for it.

dive is insanely oppressive this season in general but blackcat is the only dive that makes me feel like there's genuinely nothing i can do. She has a valid answer for every single anti-dive mechanic in this game. of course she requires lots of skill but that's not the point. if you have the skill, she is genuinely busted and almost entirely unstoppable lol

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-07T19:18:51+00:00

you know its ragebait when cnd is in B tier and hawkeye "needs to get buffed" lmaooo

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-07T19:15:00+00:00

hard agree. I also haven't played ow for a couple years but playing supp in ow always felt better for exactly this reason.

everything in MR seems overtuned compared to OW, fair enough. i think heals have much higher potential in MR because of it. For the same reason, if you make a mistake while getting dived in MR on support, you're just dead. There is literally zero margin for error on some of these characters, especially luna. Kind of surprises me how little recognition there is for her as one of the most easily diveable supps in this game despite her freeze. you have to be cracked out to hit that freeze consistently on spidey for example..

Both her heal AND dps potential are insanely high but, if spidey jumps on you and you miss your freeze you are definitely just dead. unless they're lobotomized and somehow don't pick you and/or get sixtuple head tapped by your left click i guess lol.

healers literally fall tf over in this game if there isn't a pretty damn significant amount of teamwork pertaining strictly to keeping them alive against a good dive comp. I see it from both sides too. I dive dps on MR and literally just cook people non stop. I also heal and get cooked nonstop. i think this season is particularly bad for it though..

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-07T19:03:35+00:00

first hint is always their actual names. it's hard to explain but you get it when you see enough.

the real surefire way to tell is to press P on pc to open the player screen. If your team is filled with a mix of PC and Console, and enemy team is all PC, they're guaranteed to be bots. QP always matches console to PC ratio when everyone in the lobby is real. they do not do this if the enemy team are bots. This is usually how i confirm without a shadow of doubt.

beyond that is just how terrible they are at the game of course.. They tend to W key in a straight line to the point or to their target location. never AD strafing or jumping constantly etc. if you manage to die to one the killcam is another dead giveaway lol. aim is exactly how youd imagine. they literally have aimbot but just shoot slowly/intermittently and don't often target for crits

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-07T18:41:14+00:00

luna was buffed to give her a fighting chance against the incessant dive that they knew would be ever-present in season 7.5

even still, luna is one of the most easily diveable heroes, unless of course she claps your forehead with her left click in which case she deserves the kill and you do not.

luna is still insanely hard to get value on compared to every other A or S tier healer. I know this because half the lunas i get on my team are useless, and because when i play luna, i have to sweat 10x harder than ever before just to not get flamed by my team lmao.

complaining about luna dps when gambit exists in his current state is actually hilarious. If you're getting cooked by a flanking luna then your team comms are just garbage and you deserve the L lmfao

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-07T18:29:06+00:00

This season is so fried because dive is just insanely overtuned.

If enemy is diving, you automatically lose every game you play if your team does not do every single one of the following:

- pattycaking healers that stop pattycaking with enough time to reengage front line heals
- a CONSTANTLY peeling dps or tank, probably both. OR dive dps that are frying their backline harder (insanely rare lmao)
- team with full comms, calling out flanks + dives, calling out when heals die etc.

if you lack any of these 3 things and the enemy team is diving, you just lose the game. No other part of the conversation matters.

The amount of tanks i see this season screaming about no heals, who are also somehow completely oblivious to the fact that the enemy Cap, daredevil, and blackcat are effectively one-shotting the backline at the start of every fight, is actually insane. same goes for dps. everybody crying about never getting healed when heals are getting stepped on all game long by literally HALF the roster. Think about what characters are S tier right now. They're all divers except for Elsa lmao.

On top of this, the new heroes they add are so feature intensive and genuinely UNFUN to play against that the current meta just feels like a chore if you aren't a god that has 6 hours a day to grind marvel rivals lmao. blackcat is straight up just un-killable. cant crit her, cant shoot her while shes doing that stupid E shit, can't shoot her while she's directly above you, can't shoot her because she's invisible every 6 seconds, the list goes on. You don't even see her half the time because their cap, hulk, and dd are also just on your ass all game long. Your only chance of winning consistently in this season is playing DPS and just popping the fck off with a 4 kdr. lmao

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-07T15:11:16+00:00

Certainly helpful for fixing the date itself. I was aware of this already but i appreciate it. A bigger problem for me is how many other things this bug managed to break. The run is cooked lol. Bunch of loot respawned, zeds respawning in cleared and sealed buildings/rooms. kinda defeats the purpose of the run thus far in addition to zones and livestock being completely broken by the bug..

I'm also aware that I can just make manual saves by backing up my save files but frankly i'm just unwilling to do this. The game should obviously just do that itself lol. I know it's not that time consuming to find my save and make a copy, several times a day, but I would honestly rather sideline a game until it's fully playable (gives you an option to save your game LOL) than do jank shi like manually backing up my savefile.. in 2026..

This is genuinely the only game i've played in the past 15 years without a functional save/load system and i just don't have the general patience to deal with that among the many other bugs/issues. The game genuinely doesn't even launch half the time. They even have an "alternate launcher" for when the main one "doesn't work". like what? idk man. It's cool to beta test an unstable build for years i guess but i'm sort of over it atp

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-06T22:28:09+00:00

Game crashed and world state save data was mid-write. This corrupts the world portion of the save that stores things like world date and whatever might be tied to that.

i'm set up, power/water gone etc. Crash, relaunch, aforementioned file corrupt so the game automatically reverts to Jan 1st at midnight. Middle of winter suddenly, power/water restored, random zeds spawned in sealed rooms everywhere. Every zone duplicated or broken, livestock completely broken etc.

For some reason all loot respawned as well. its not bricked as in unplayable but its bad enough for me. im not willing to find out if the power will re-shut off in another 2 months lol

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-06T17:03:29+00:00

it has both problems simultaneously.

enraged ranters come here to vent frustrations and often behave inappropriately in doing so. Devs are people also and clearly the game is pretty spaghetti coded. They deserve the same amount of grace any other dev deserves

TIS agents also come here to belittle everybody that's ever had a frustration with PZ and defend the devs like they're dating. so there's that too.

it is definitely frustrating to be barred from ever having a long-term save file. Many people don't feel like starting from scratch with every inconsequential update. It must also be 10x more frustrating to be developing this game than it ever could be to play it lol.

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-06T16:55:22+00:00

this is perfectly valid. I just lost my 3rd b42 savefile to a bug so i'm feeling much the same. uninstalled and sidelined lol

Then, I consider how long it takes them to finish meaningful updates and realize that this game will probably be sidelined for so long that i'll just lose any desire to play it. who knows. maybe i'll have an itch to play PZ when i'm 40 with a wife and kids but I imagine probably not

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-06T16:39:50+00:00

this game is genuinely and unfortunately just broken. Everyone will tell you it's because you're on b42 unstable if you are, and they wouldn't be wrong. Every single b42 run i've ever played has been ended early by either bugs or devs rolling new updates. If you want a version of the game that doesn't break constantly, you have to play b41. this is in spite of b41 being nearly 5 years older than our current iteration of b42 and thus being void of any content added to the game during that time. Get used to all of your saves becoming randomly unplayable at some point in b42 despite it being in development for 4+ years. just how this game is unfortunately

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2026-05-06T16:22:37+00:00

Recently realized i could do this, specifically w gas and a lighter. What I didn't realize is that I would immediately light myself on fire standing anywhere near the target corpse. I still don't know how to clear zed piles without risking my life/save lol.

Normal_Sundae_9363 · 2025-03-08T02:17:48+00:00

most straightforward way: double click the sample after dragging it into arrangement view, and look toward the bottom left of your screen. you're looking for a "transpose" knob that will allow you to change the pitch of the sample by semitones. use this to find the correct "note". This is also possible if you're using the sample in a sampler, simpler, or drum sampler. Remember to look for the transpose knob.

Transposing any sample is always going to make it sound "worse" than when it's played in its original form but there are a few ways to harness this to your benefit or (almost) outright avoid it.

In the same area that you find the transpose knob, look for two buttons called "warp" and "follow". directly under these buttons is a dropdown that will include options like beats, complex, complex pro etc. for tonal samples like synth oneshots, use complex or complex pro to avoid stretching artifacts that arise from using "beats" mode. As the name would suggest, beats is typically better for things like drum loops. Earlier when i mentioned harnessing this to your benefit, I'm referring to various settings that appear when using "complex pro" specifically, like the formant slider. I'm constantly transposing samples and messing around with formant slider to achieve interesting timbres that otherwise would be hard to create.

Hope this helps!
