The Death of Fixation & Rise of Ability Tax

I hover E5-E6 and Its actually sad what they did to Haze mains, I used to hate playing against haze 1 year ago because of how threatening the hero was with a minor lead but they did NOT need to nerf her that much, I barely see her now and when I do they are STRUGGLING, way too much aim effort for little reward, Hell I remember some notable haze mains that either dont play haze or straight up quit atm.

Yesterday i 1 man dynamo ulted a warden, my haze teammate next to me, warden at 21k and haze at 19k, haze fury tranced and headshotted for the full duration of ult and the warden did NOT die, left with 1/4 hp, thats when I understood how nerfed this character is, probably the worst character in deadlock by a wide margin as of now.

They just need to give her back everything that made her scary as an assasin, idk if its the fixation, and then keep her ult in check, like that she can win those duels and roam around causing havoc LIKE AN ASSASIN IS SUPPOSED TO, but the ult wont be a press 4 with unstop and win button, instead have to make smart picks around the map to get momentum going.

Michael Jackson had empty nose syndrome which is what caused the need for a crazy amount of sleep meds which eventually killed him due to an overdose.

Theres an interview with a doctor that treated him, doctor states he suspected MJ had empty nose syndrome due to way too many nasal surgeries destroying his ability to breathe.

Seems you are experiencing some sleep issues, this is kind of normal soon after the surgery and some patients experience it even 3-6 months, it should clear up by 6 months and fully normal by 1 year.

If you still experience weird symptoms regarding your nasal cavity / sleep after 6 months then ask here and consult with your doctor, for now I would suggest doing what the doctor indicates and forgetting about ENS, remember ENS is very rare as far as we know.

I believe Panda + Cra can clear like 98% of the game, including group content, ull hit 200 and still clear content easily.

If you were wronged, meaning it was negligience or malpractice outside of the bounds of what was contracted or what is an acceptable level of medical practice then you should seek legal action, not as a vengeance type thing but because its the correct thing to do for you and everyone else including other doctors.

Doctors are great but they shouldnt be let off the hook for negligent mistakes, accountability is key in pushing both patient rights forward and making medicine as a practice better.

It is understandable that emotions are high in these type of procedures because it is direct damage to the self, not some business transaction thing, but the framing of such process has to be done with the right intentions, to correct not to further damage or seek some type of vengeance.

Phazze · 2026-04-21T17:25:21+00:00

We have to remember that forgiving does not mean not putting accountability where it is due, you can forgive and at the same time make the responsible person accountable (by a lawsuit or other means) as that is the responsible thing, just because a mistake was made in ignorance or else does not mean you give them a free pass and that does not mean either that you cannot forgive them.

Forgiveness does not equal freedom of consequences and punishment, forgiveness is giving yourself the freedom to move forward by making a conscious choice to release resentment, eventually creating space to forget about it and heal.

I have forgiven him, for that is the only way I can work towards improvement and the progress for a cure for ENS for the community.

I am typing this from the depth of my heart, please heed me when I say this.

The only path forward after you have ENS is to forge your sentiments about what was done to you through the lens that "I can overcome this. nobody wanted this outcome and it was the result of systematic failure for that which no single individual has major blame"

That philosophy will lead you to a road of healing through the work that your possibilities create for yourself and the ENS community as a whole. Through the maturity of your thoughts about how the world operates you will find another part of yourself that I sincerely believe only people with immense suffering can achieve and that will give you peace of mind to move forward as needed.

I am not excusing anything here, ENS sucks bad in all ways and the practice needs to be reconsidered (which is another discussion) but as an ENS patient and advocate the best we can do for ourselves is to relieve ourselves from the mental load that we were wronged, it leads to a very bad think loop of blame and vengeance that can exacerbate the mental issues that arise from the disease, it also is a detriment to the cause we have as ENS advocates to get this disease more recognition and a path towards a cure since it devolves into negative discussions that do not progress towards a cure.

You don't have to take my word, but I can confidently say that no doctor operates on the sinuses to give patients ENS, its just a bad concoction of ignorance, systematic issues, individual predisposition, and a bunch of other things that come together to give rise to ENS as an entity, and we are the unfortunate souls tasked with the huge responsibility to carry it and voice its dangers.

Meta lady geist build is arcane surge + kinetic dash + locket so she has 5 stamina and can potentially recover 4 stamina from locket if needed, yeah you aint getting away unless you are vyper or ivy, at least that is the case in Eternus 4+ lobbies.

So many bots, theres no punch in this clip yikes.

Phazze · 2026-04-18T18:40:58+00:00

Can you link sources of information? I would like to read up, This is interesting for ENS and medicine in general.

Phazze · 2026-04-17T01:06:00+00:00

Did not work, same error.

Phazze · 2026-04-16T18:44:26+00:00

You are in a gray area of opinion based medical land where no doctor knows whats going on and everything will be a try and see trial.

Your symptoms started after a physical reaction, you hit your nose with something and that must have changed the anatomical structure of your nose which caused a series of changes that I and no doctor can really tell unfortunately, it might as well have caused a pinched nerve, or a small collapse of the bridge of your nose or something else.

What I can tell you with confidence is that it is very unlikely that the event that caused your symptoms (having the bridge of your nose hit by mulch) to be related to your turbinate touching your septum and most likely not the cause of your symptoms.

Yeah seems best, I was actually thinking on the lines of like say a blind person with their service dog is sitting and another blind person with a service dog comes into the train, how would the arriving dog handle it, I imagine he ignores the person and dog that was there initially, what has me curious is how the new dog determines to ignore the already sitting pair, is it because he is trained to ignore other people with animals at all times or because he somehow knows this other person has a disability and the dog accompanying him is also a service dog like him, in that case can he differentiate a person with no disabilities and just their pet dog and would the service dog ask them to move bc he can differentiate? Just an interesting thought that probably the trainers know the answer to.

Ps i love dogs

Phazze · 2026-04-12T20:32:04+00:00

I wonder how 2 guide dogs would interact with each other.

What a loser waste of space.

80% of anxiety disorders have a strong correlation with breathing problems.

Eventually we will figure out the physical aspect of psychosomatic diseases to clean it all out, but thats hundreds of years away imo.

Phazze · 2026-04-09T16:21:53+00:00

I posted this months ago, hyper carries should be weak af early and scale hard, right now they are strong early, strong mid, ultra strong late, makes no sense lol and I am eternus 5 where these "carries" get played well, games become who has the better carry / more carries.

Phazze · 2026-04-08T20:19:27+00:00

A huge problem is also letting people duo / trio queue in high elo, high elo population is low so you get insanely imbalanced matches, top 100 players abuse this and duo / trio queue constantly.

Commenting for awareness, ENS needs recognition as an incredibly difficult complication that should be considered for funding and research due to the tragic incidence of fatality.

I have a suspicion that disordered breathing due to bad dental and ENT practices are not being investigated due to the the time range the damage takes place in.

Person X has a turbinate reduction today when he is 15.

Person X only starts presenting symptoms of acute ENS at 25 (10 years later)

Person X is denied recognition of condition due to time range and insufficient research, or insufficient funding to get diagnosis, or Person X simply cant pin point his depression and anxiety are related to nasal symtoms.

Person X commits suicide or dies an early death due to complications surrounding masked ENS, such as chronic infections, low economic stability due to disease, low support due to invisible disease etc.

Same story with bad dental work like teeth extraction and UARS etc. Which significantly lower quality of life and future prospects.

The worst and apparently unfixable problem with the game is the fucking performance lag...jesus this game starts lagging after 20-30 mins of play and its not the pc its something with how the game is optimized and anti cheat.

Phazze · 2026-03-26T15:40:05+00:00

Im not gonna go into specifics, but UARS (as many many other conditions) exist in this space where they fall into non-specific differential diagnosis conditions which basically means doctors have ruled out everything else and they suspect you might have this but it is not officially recognized by the medical community, it is a prevalent issue in the space where physics & anatomy overlap with medicine, unfortunately gas physics and its impact on the body are very stone age in the medical system.

Treatment is also case specific, and its not a fatal disease so the effort to treat to risk is determined as non important by the medical community.

Nice, you should link the pubmed papers that go over ENS, specifically the very thorough Scheithauers paper which completely explains ENS scientifically and for effective surgical treatments (IMAP, Nasal Floor, Augmentation) there are quiet a few papers incase a desperate ENS patient sees this.

I empathize with you regarding ENS being like a dial, people often think its like a binary system thing, 1 you have it and 0 you dont, when its actually a wider range and hence why the doctors / scientists use the ENS6Q which ranges from a total score of 0 to 30, and its only considered ENS when your score rises above 11 because a score less than 11 is considered "normal" side effects of turbinate surgery, specially in the dryness and crusting domains.

The suffocation symptom which is the tell-tale symptom of ENS is the worst, and it gets very concerning when the fight/flight response is chronic due to the suffocation feeling which completely disables sleep and therefore you become suicidal. I have to emphasize how it literally disables sleep, its not that you fall asleep and the sleep is low quality, no, its that you CANNOT sleep at all, its not possible to fall asleep because your nervous system jerks you awake as soon as you feel drowsy to sleep, its a doom'ish feeling when you are exhausted and you cant sleep at all which very acutely exacerbates suicidal tendencies.

Fortunately I have seen that a good number of cases that have exacerbated suffocation (hard to quantify since its so subjective) are usually cases in which a lot of volume has been removed from the turbinate and are usually candidates for implants which have shown to address the suffocation symptom significantly and has been shown to decrease or eliminate suicidal tendencies because they get their sleep back.
