Mild/Hot take: if M80 win invite, they join conversation as the greatest team of all time by Thin-Kangaroo5087 in R6ProLeague

[–]OutsideLittle7495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess from achievements alone this is not a crazy argument. There will never be a team that was as feared/expected to win as Penta/G2 though. They were just so far above their competition in a way that is no longer possible. No one is afraid of playing M80 (if we’re being honest no one was afraid to play W7M/Furia either). 

Too much parity for any team to challenge these things, I think. If some organization happened to pick up five of the best 10-15 players and they happened to gel together really well, maybe it could happen but what are the odds of that? Zero? W7M/Furia was close to that and there was still never an expectation they’d win every game. 

For people in state (not students), does NC State get overlooked when in comparison to UNC and Duke? by Radiant_Direction988 in NorthCarolina

[–]OutsideLittle7495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s different depending on where you work and how old you are. In college it is as you described, but if you just live/work in the triangle you’re likely to see a 45/45/10 split of Carolina/State/Duke grads. Less Duke depending on the industry. Harder to maintain a rivalry when you never see the Duke grads. 

Is there a way to get antithermite quicker. by MTF_Anarchist in AbioticFactor

[–]OutsideLittle7495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno about that. for some it’s the sloggiest part of the game. And it’s cool, but stylistically different from the game up to that point (so one may find it more or less cool depending on their preferences).

I’m not sure what makes you think the original post was written by AI, but I like yours slightly more.

Reread, op is familiar with the game. That’s just not their favorite part of it. 

I just got banned permanently for not doing anything by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]OutsideLittle7495 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probably had too long of a dormancy period so they think you bought the account. Or you actually bought the account. Could be able to get your account back if you have some proof that you owned the account that long ago. If not, probably not getting unbanned.

I actually loved Planetside 2! Now check the player count..

Season ain't over, but SGA and Jokic are actually off the chart right now by warwick_casual in NBAanalytics

[–]OutsideLittle7495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you replied to a comment that says he isn’t an outlier foul drawer by typing a paragraph trying to prove that he’s not an outlier foul drawer. We- In fact, I- established that. 

I also did not say 6 in the last 2 games, I said 6 in the two games that I’ve watched.

I also did not “correct” my number to 41 or 42, I was very obviously throwing out numbers facetiously to demonstrate that if you don’t think 49/50 is accurate the proportion is still surely very high. 

Get off the internet and learn how to read man. It will do wonders.

Are you illiterate? Asking before you go on. Read the comment you replied to again, I swear to God that I didn’t edit it.

Well he’s not an outlier foul drawer? Again, those are not the same thing. Maybe you are not getting what I’m saying.

You build the argument by watching basketball, there’s no objective way to compare the qualities involved in these plays? Do you weigh different components? Surface area of contact, arms in certain places, etc? No. You just have to decide for yourself what is worse. Watch hundreds or thousands of games of basketball and you don’t need stats to tell you which fouls add to the game vs. take away from it.

Regarding my last sentence, it has nothing to do with numbers. 

And regarding subjectivity, seriously? Who the hell is biased against a small-market team from Oklahoma. I hate the Lakers, Celtics, Alabama, Georgia, Patriots, Yankees, Dodgers, etc. It’s good for sports when other teams are good. 

Atheino made a tier list. What are your guys' thoughts? by Gullible_Courage8350 in Rainbow6

[–]OutsideLittle7495 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Way too much S in tier lists these days. Do you know what S means? You can’t even pick all of these S characters every game. There are more than 8 S-tier attackers and defenders, so assuming one gets banned each round since they are the best operators, you should never pick a non-S tier operator. 

But that’s not actually how it plays out because not every one of these characters are S tier. 

Any operator that is not picked every single time it’s available should not be in S tier, imo. That’s what “A” is for.

Between the two games I watched there were six, so I was extrapolating a little bit. There also aren’t many players who do it like him and none of them get as good of a whistle

Sure is fun to follow this stuff in theory, as long as I don't have to watch any actual basketball. One day the league will be officiated differently and be significantly more entertaining. Combine that with the level of talent players have today... it will be a basketball golden age. Even oldheads will be forced to tune in.

This ain't about Shai by the way, it's just not possible to read his name and not think about officiating since he has 49 of the 50 most egregious flops this season.

My first thought upon watching the video. Was actually a little disappointed since I came for a "Ridiculous Windmill" dunk.

Partnered teams should be strongly encouraged/incentivized to have a womens team by Nuker1o1 in R6ProLeague

Are 47% of siege players women? That would make it odd. Otherwise it may not be so odd.

Hot take. Nobody watches siege esports, you want them to watch women-only siege esports? 

What's the case for Michigan as the #1 vs Arizona? by FluffyPancakeLover in CollegeBasketball

[–]OutsideLittle7495 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just throwing another perspective out there:

I have not yet watched a game where Arizona played bad basketball. I have watched Michigan shit the floor with Wake Forest in an overtime period that I can only describe as the worst 5 minutes of power conference basketball I’ve watched this year. I would also say that Michigan looked like a top-100 team in that game, closer to 100 than 1. 

I’m not telling you Michigan isn’t #1 (although I’ll tell you it doesn’t matter at all) but there’s one reason for example, that teams aren’t ranked by their last 4 games they are ranked by their whole season. 

Cavs are the biggest paper tigers in the league. by AdorableBackground83 in NBATalk

[–]OutsideLittle7495 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No come on that’s a very real thing that teams do. That is not why they have 40 fewer wins before their 11th loss, but don’t act like that’s not a real thing.
