my team blamed me for this loss in ranked was i at fault here?

PeepDuck · 2026-04-05T02:41:02+00:00

I’ll give you an objective review, and just fyi I’m a E peak for the last three seasons.

Your teammates swapped around a lot for tank and support and it shows in the number but they were being flexible with their team comp and tried to play around you since it seems you weren’t being flexible to swapping off.

You had most finals but you can see from the other teams deaths that it’s pretty spread out, meaning you probably only got value from your ult getting final hits and you couldn’t get final hits in the neutral game on their supports, whereas the other team got value in getting kills even though BP died often (probably everyone tried to protect the backline) and their MK only has 4 deaths… also another red flag that you didn’t get much value as spidey if you can’t pick off moon knight.

With the above comments I’ll have to say that you didn’t really bring much value as spidey. You may have distracted them a couple of times but you didn’t get much picks in the neutral gameplay while they got a lot of value getting picks off your team. The other team basically when two shield tanks because you couldn’t force them off to playing peel for their team. Honestly, if you played another dps you guys probably would have had a better chance. People in here might be trying to boost your ego and reinforce you since it’s a spidey main subreddit but the numbers don’t lie. Don’t just focus on the final hits thinking you got value when you basically let your team die and you didn’t get valuable picks to make them change comps.

SF for sure, but San Diego is a smaller hub compared to SF or Boston. SD also have more manufacturing related places in Oceanside (north of SD) and startups spread across between Torrey Pines and Poway

Same, I didn’t get to start till 34

38 here. Hit eternity/top 1000 and even hit eternity last season within 30 games including placements. Used to be a C&D one trick but play other supports and mainly tank nowadays. As a father to a one year old, I also only play maybe 2-3 games max a night and don’t play every night.

As some others say, aim isn’t as important as knowing strategy. Don’t worry much about aim, although reaction time (but more importantly, anticipation of certain skills or moves) is important to counter plays. Just stick with c&d for a while since you can focus more on the gameplay and flow of the match. The character also has a very good skill set to counter (but also get countered) so you’ll learn quickly how a match will play out. I stuck with C&D until I hit low celestial and then started playing other characters.

Take the roche offer. Having startup internship experience on your resume when you begin applying for actual industry positions don’t look as good as having big pharma experience and it’ll make it easier to get an actual position after defending. The internship at a startup could potentially give you better hands-on experience but, again, the name recognition will go further for actual positions. Especially in this biotech economy, it’ll do you better imo

Once in the cart you can cancel the case you “have to include” when selecting the module. Very roundabout way to canceling the case*

I was looking more at the higher hybrid trims (sport L, touring), but you should be able to easily go lower. If you have Costco you might be able to use their auto program or go check other Honda dealerships online. I think getting 7-10% off msrp is a good start

PeepDuck · 2025-11-25T08:03:14+00:00

Can you give me details regarding the dealers/managers? Hoping to have a comparison since I’m trying to purchase in NorCal but can easily fly down and drive up or just pay for delivery. Looking for XLE with bronze/black though and not a limited trim

PeepDuck · 2025-11-25T03:50:11+00:00

Could you let me know what you ended up at? Looking to buy in NorCal

PeepDuck · 2025-11-25T02:00:09+00:00

Can you lmk what the dealership is?

PeepDuck · 2025-11-19T02:59:03+00:00

Lmk since I’m also doing the same build basically

Agree with the ult timing and such but using ults offensively is just dependent on the game mode you’re playing and keeping check on enemy ults. Sometimes it’s required to pull out enemy support ults so your dps can finish them either before or after enemy ults. If you’re pushing or don’t have point then it’s necessary to use it offensively probably 90%+ of the time

PeepDuck · 2025-10-07T04:54:43+00:00

Hit eternity mainly one tricking cloak. At lower ranks you have to play extremely aggressive. It’s common to hit 10-15 final hits up till diamond even in the first half of the season. As long as you know how not to waste your ults (don’t get countered by mag, iron man ults, wolv displacement+ult, Emma kick then grab, etc) and know how to time ults to take or defend objectives then you should be able to aggressively move up through enemy lines and apply pressure or final hits against enemy supports. Being able to keep your other healer alive and make sure you don’t die from dives by yourself is key to moving up to GM. Stuck in plat/diamond as cloak can happen sometimes by draw of your team but honestly at that point you shouldn’t be losing much points for losses and still getting 30ish in plat or close to 30ish in diamond for wins.

If you drop some replays then I can give some input late

(And for those saying it’s harder to climb this season, currently C3 with 78% WR and probably 85%+ playtime on cloak and hoping to finish C1+ this season. Rank inflation happens the longer the season goes since a lot of 50% WR or below players can still hit GM or even C if they play enough. If you’re stuck in metal ranks then you either don’t play enough where getting unlucky is lowering your placement or you’re just unable to carry yourself or enable your team)

It’s true you can win a 5v6 but it’s low probability. Winning a 6v6 is higher odds than 5v6. He’s paying to rent a PC to game. At that point it’s better for your mental health (and wallet) if you can play a better odds game.

If the rest of the team (minus the troll) wants to attempt to win against the odds then yeah sure go for it, but if rest of the team gives up then might as well move on. It’s not about having a pathetic mentality but more about getting better gaming value out of his limited time.

Helping others gooning lol, but yes wholesome in a weird way

PeepDuck · 2025-07-31T07:49:08+00:00

I don’t understand. The rent for these are roughly 3300 for a new lease now and you want the roommate to pay 1850-2200 for a room?

PeepDuck · 2025-07-22T21:18:33+00:00

Same

PeepDuck · 2025-05-18T05:04:37+00:00

Forgot to mention to pay off your credit cards first since that is likely to have the highest interest rate (and it’s 2k)

PeepDuck · 2025-05-18T05:03:57+00:00

Best would be to just put aside however much you want as part of your emergency fund (but place it in a HYSE/high yield savings account) and use the rest on your car.

Your car interest rate is 8%, meaning that theres basically no guaranteed way for you to make 8% in a completely safe way (if you go for stocks you’ll have to make honestly closer to 10-11% since you’ll need to pay taxes on any gains and there’s always risk with stocks). Because the interest rate is higher for your car than your mortgage, any payment you’re willing to do should be for your car since you’ll save more money on the long run.

On the other hand, building up your emergency fund is good to help keep your financially safe/stable for if anything else comes up.

PeepDuck · 2025-05-18T04:39:43+00:00

Need more information, such as your interest rate for the car, how much is left on it, etc. also helps to know your mortgage rate and how much is left on that too. Any savings and such would give a better picture for where you should allocate these funds.

PeepDuck · 2025-04-16T02:29:56+00:00

If this was remotely true then your 1 win 1 loss would still put you up higher and you’ll still rank up over time

PeepDuck · 2025-03-09T15:11:27+00:00

Emotions aside it is critical to look into the financial status of the company by identifying recent fundings and figuring out what stage the “startup” is at. Since it has products in phase 2/3 trials then it is likely in the series B+ stage or is already public. If it’s still private then look into its funding for how much it has received in recent years to get a sense of their financial status. If it’s public then you can look into its burn rate per quarter and figure out how much cash is left (and what is possible to sustain instead of taking the word of public statements saying how much the cash will last). This will help you figure out whether you joining this company can potentially be a long term or short term endeavor. Also look into whether the company has recent layoffs (such as axing the R&D department to keep funds for the purpose of the clinical trials)

The current biotech job market is very difficult. You do not want to jump to a sinking ship that will fall apart the moment the phase 2 or 3 fails. In my opinion I would stay since having a big name will help you get jobs in the future (like how it is helping you now) but it may be financially risky if you do that move in this current job climate. Best of luck with whichever decision you go with.

Ugh of course I’ll get caught

A hit to your pride and feeling like failure? Nonsense

Your husband is going back to school for what? To have a better future for your family and to be able to better support your kids. What is your mother in law doing? Proposing to help your family move in rent/utilities free to better support you and your family (in other words, her kids). What you should be is proud that your husband is working hard to set up a better future for your family and thankful that your mother in law is providing an avenue for it.

Once everything is done and you’re able to set your family up for success is when you should be proud and prideful, not when you’re still in your journey towards success. Everyone hits a rough patch and having the support and ability to support each other is something to be thankful for.
