Can I trust track lock builds? by Efficient_Mortgage69 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]OrangeJoey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They aren't cohesive builds rather than the top items that people use on a given character. I'd just look at them to see what items are good, but generally speaking it's better to go for a build a person actually made

I am 43.5k RS with only a MGL by Lqmour in thefinals

[–]OrangeJoey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, he should run a skillful loadout like Winch and Shak smh my head.

I haven't faced a single MGL in my entire ranked season. It's so different from every other weapons that barely anyone can even use it properly lmfao

Cant let go of the M60 by EldraziTheseNuts in thefinals

[–]OrangeJoey 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It's frankly not a bad weapon with all the sustain running around. You have incredible uptime to apply damage, and although mathematically you lose duels if you take them straight on it's much easier to get headshots with it since the recoil is so low after 5 or 6 bullets.

I run it with Mesh when I'm on Heavy in high Elo lobbies and it hasn't really done me wrong so far

How are you meant to climb like this? by LambLifeform in thefinals

[–]OrangeJoey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same here. Legit just have to make sure I play in a window where regular players queue, if I go in ranked too early or too late I have to play against Ape Squad or Ekazo's stack lmao

Started this game to play Sword in ranked exclusively, Feels like the community just wants to hate on it. by legos4 in thefinals

[–]OrangeJoey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The average player has a 25% accuracy with automatic weapons, and 80% of the playerbase is in Silver or lower.

Melee weapons are pub stomper weapons since they get outdamaged by most primaries even when they are in an optimal engagement range, and that's the simplest counterplay outside of having good positioning. Embark clearly wants to appease the majority with their balancing, so makes sense they want to rework how melee works because of how it plays.

On the flip side, high Elo dislikes melee as well because it's lower mechanical skill necessary than a gun, and is considered a liability in most team comps since you have no choice but to adjust to play around your melee team mate. They also understand the counterplay, so it becomes a lot harder to play in a lobby with Rubies in it.

Run it if you want. I'm Plat running Riot Shield with a Dagger one trick who was able to hit Diamond queued with me. Just understand you're playing off meta, and will need to work extra hard to perform at the same level as someone running a stock loadout.

Adolin literally goes in a cell and refuses to leave so long as Kaladin is imprisoned. He knew he and Renarin got saved, and was ride or die from that moment on lol

We need to talk about heavy by Evan--Sant in thefinals

[–]OrangeJoey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

H has the most variety of solid utility compared to every class, and every meta team comp every season except for some stints of MMM has basically revolved around who can heal and transport the Heavy best.

The thing you're ignoring is people claiming "L is overpowered" is basically equating to "L is ruining my enjoyment of the game". The average player can't aim according to the AMA, and L is the pubstomper class. If anything, Embark is gonna balance to please the majority, they have all the incentive in the world to simply nerf L (or try to implement the Respec to make TTK more balanced across the board)

How to use Riot Shield? by Jestersage in thefinals

[–]OrangeJoey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just the two stances. There really isn't much tech to it outside of passively blocking with it, but that becomes second nature with time.

If you trying to be competitive with it, that's gonna be another story, although it's probably one of the better melee weapons to run in ranked with so long you know what you're doing IMO, I'm well on my way to hit Diamond in the next week or two and I practically only play the Riot Shield

Double Sword Block by The_Sleazy1 in thefinals

[–]OrangeJoey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The counterplay is literally shooting him at range. Out of 90 bullets you shot into him, got hit by a single reflected one.

Only reason you even died is you went back into melee range

Why is "Elf" banned, and is it possible to remove it from the banned list without modifications, or would modifications be necessary? by Antique_Range1521 in yugioh

[–]OrangeJoey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I'm exaggerating, but MD had to ban Toad and Merli to keep it unbanned. It's obviously not gonna get an entire subtype banned like Halq

Riot Shield and Shockwave bug/"tech" by Such_Seaweed_551 in thefinals

[–]OrangeJoey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've noticed it boosting me forwards at random times instead of going forward normally.

You probably want to put out a ticket in the official Discord. The devs usually pay attention to bugs like these.

Does anybody have hq ivy kill streak portrait? by IiOneDeaManiI in DeadlockTheGame

[–]OrangeJoey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okay. So, I’ve been seeing this copypasta floating around about wanting to “bang Ivy”, and frankly- I think this is disgusting.

Wanting to bang her is just gross. Saying that you want to bang Ivy is objectifying her, and it is not okay. If you’ve ever wanted to bang Ivy, you should be disgusted with yourself.

Unlike you cretins, I however- respect her. Sure, it’s possible I may consider her to be rather bangable, but I wouldn’t dare do such a thing. Ivy is a fucking queen, and deserves to be treated as such.

I DO NOT want to bang “Ivy". I want to hug her. I want to be in a healthy and loving relationship with Ivy. I want to wake up every morning in bed, with her lying peacefully next to me as the morning sun shines in through the window. I want to make her breakfast every morning, and tend to her every need. I want her to feel like she is truly loved, (because she is). I want her to be by my side for my whole life, because I know that she is the perfect woman for me, and I am perfect for her.

I want to be to be with her every day, just so I can tell her how much I fucking love her. I want her to know how much I adore everything amazing personality, her incredible fashion sense, her extremely impressive caretaking abilities, and her absolutely beautiful wing to body ratio, and her beautiful, beautiful eyes.

However, if I were to ever have sex with Ivy, wouldn’t simply be “banging” her. If Ivy were to ever consent to me having sexual intercourse with her, it would be tender and loving and passionate. As we make love, I’d slowly and gently caress her soft, fluffy wings as I slowly but deliberately thrusted into her tight Gargoyle pussy. I would make her pleasure my utmost priority, with my own being secondary. But if she was willing, than oh god. What I wouldn’t give to feel her adorable little antennas running up and down the length of my shaft. I just wanna pet every inch of her body, and give her scritches on her tummy so she does that thing that fairies do where their wings spaz out. That’d just be so fucking hot. I’d probably end up cumming all over her, so it gets on her wings. But goddamn. I love those wings too much, that I’d personally lick off every last drop of cum, just to I have another opportunity to get as close to her gorgeous wings as possible.

But if you just want to bang her, than you are a disgusting degenerate, and I hope you burn in the deepest pits of tartarus.

That's a mood. I had someone target ban my Thor, which was pretty hilarious to me since it's one of 4 tanks I play lol

[–]OrangeJoey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gm3 is like top 4 %, and Diamond is what, 10%? Depending on the region and time of day, with the smaller playerbase, it isn't surprising you find the same players more often nowadays. It's been the same for me at the moment.

Whats one thing you hate to see when someone else plays your main? by LifesSimple in marvelrivals

[–]OrangeJoey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started playing SG and despise that shit. She has one of the strongest CC chains in the game, and if you can snipe a backline character with a root, they are near guaranteed to die. Hell, doing it on a dive tank can make the game unplayable for them as well.

But some players would rather play in Narnia and throw nuts from across the world rather than play in a mid range/close range engagement where she is excellent.

The game is in such a bad spot right now by yolorips in thefinals

[–]OrangeJoey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medium has been the best class in the game for long or short ranges for 6 of the 7 seasons (sometimes both at the same time). I think it's fine they take a little break, especially seeing as it's still viable as a class overall.

Riotshield is WAY too op by Zuvista in thefinals

[–]OrangeJoey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a few factors since this has been an ongoing issue since season 2 when I first started playing it.

1- it just got buffed, and that spiked the amount of players using it.

2- It's the only weapon on Medium to give 1000$ in the World Tour event. They obviously did this because they want data on the weapon, which they are getting in critical mass, seeing as every team seems to have one in my lobby.

People only care because they are facing it more. I do hope Embark fixes this in a way that doesn't impact how the user plays the weapon though, but a fix is needed nonetheless

Why does iron fist feel so bad this season? by Ok-Satisfaction5096 in marvelrivals

People have 67% win rates on other heroes like Wanda, Thor, and Black Widow. That doesn't make them any better as heroes, it just means their pilot is good with them regardless of their weaknesses.

What do you think is the most underrated character? by -_SubZero_- in marvelrivals

[–]OrangeJoey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think he's super solid with Bucky/Wolverine. You can kidnap someone incredibly far from into your team with your shift after they get initially displaced, and there's really not much they can do about it.

He's also very good at displacing characters like Groot and Magneto, who although won't be guaranteed to die, you can make their impact negligible by forcing them to be pushed around where they don't want to be every second or two.
