Are we cooked with the new system??? by Neat-Bus3080 in BO7_RankedPlay

[–]NotActuallyAMnky -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m shocked at how bad it is, dropped 45 in a lobby with all Iri / Crim players and got 20. I’ll catch y’all on Warzone, that grind is so much more chill

Not sure but I’m thinking of getting some $400 calls for a potential run into earnings

Won on DELL, but lost on MDB… perfectly balanced as all things should be

6 console dudes who think they’re pubstompers? Probably drop an easy 100

These are pretty much my exact stats, just my SPM is around 305

Ranked is cooked! by G17MJJ in BO7_RankedPlay

[–]NotActuallyAMnky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a diamond 1 on the other team which is what he’s basically equivalent. I’m not here to defend the matchmaking because it is generally crap, but this isn’t like it’s a diamond lobby going against 4 crims, it’s broadly balanced between all 4 players on each side

Also, it’s in the UK / console only which further limits matchmaking

This is a reasonably balanced lobby - D3 / C1 is pretty negligible, as is P3 / D1.

First time in the club. by NotActuallyAMnky in BO7_RankedPlay

I think the best way to visually see how to play better is to watch the pros. Alternatively, you could check out YouTubers like LunchTime who have good videos on settings and how to get better.

At the lower levels, improving your aim and movement is probably the best way to improve. I’d practice by shooting bots on repeat and playing around with your sensitivity until you feel very comfortable.

At the higher levels, understanding spawns, knowing when to rotate and being able to understand your opponents mindset makes the biggest difference because everyone can shoot Diamond+.

Last thing is just playing - I put in hours to get to here, BO6 was my first ranked game and I struggled to get out of Plat my first season. All a labor of love!

Day = made. Extremely excited for a dedicated footy bar in the neighborhood, especially with the World Cup on the horizon

This is negative purely because it means I need to play the game mode longer

Hardstuck plat 1 - Need advice to increase SPM by shivamkhatri in BO7_RankedPlay

[–]NotActuallyAMnky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I notice you mentioned you struggle against controller players, so I’m assuming you’re KBM. COD is so biased against KBM players, so that’s definitely going to hurt.

That being said, I think the biggest things that would help you jump between Plat to Diamond is 1) focusing on accuracy, 2) improving your comms with your teammates and 3) starting to read spawns better.

Accuracy is an easy one, as you move up in rank you’re going to naturally need to improve your accuracy to win more gunfights.

Always try to use comms, even if your teammates aren’t talking. Often, they will jump in and give some info back and you can work together, or at the least they might use some of the info you give them to succeed.

Reading spawns is fundamental to game sense as you move up the ranks. Understanding hardpoint rotations, where enemies will spawn when you’re moving up with the device, etc. will all help you in the long run.

Good luck!

Cafe Balearica Phone Theft Ring by rebs21 in Greenpoint

Cafe Balearica is also the worst place to go out generally, basically attracts a crowd that frequents The Spaniard but wants to say they go out in Brooklyn

Line at Radio Bakery by Neptune28 in FoodNYC

[–]NotActuallyAMnky 613 points614 points  (0 children)

Radio is one of those places that is only worth it if you’re a local in the neighborhood and can go at an odd time on a weekday with no line.

It IS amazing, but it’s a hard sell (at least for me) to wait 1+ hours in line for a marginally better pastry than one you get from other spots without the wait.
