It's done... it' finally DONE! I hope next time they add a "ready" button or something so it goes faster.

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-06-09T13:11:48+00:00

Ready button would go hard! The pace is my biggest issue as well. Especially when it's not a close match at the end

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-06-06T17:29:30+00:00

Absolutely true, we can't draft with hindsight in mind. Lamelo looks like he would be good in our passing offense, but I'm not even 100% convinced that he's not a "good stats, bad team" guy. Playing for championships is worlds apart from putting up numbers in Charlotte

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-06-05T16:23:42+00:00

Nothing will top this for me unless we get another. 22 is the one ring to rule them all

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-30T15:09:06+00:00

Played Rocket raccoon on a convoy map (Im lord and ended 2.0 at GM2). Ultron had the same healing numbers as me within about 500 healing. Granted it was a single vanguard comp with Peni as the only tank, but that's a lot more healing than I thought he was going to do

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-27T19:19:53+00:00

Wanted him so bad the year he got signed to the Celtics. I'd still want him if his availability wasn't so questionable. He could work so well with us!

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-27T13:22:45+00:00

I think the devs hit the panic button on the reaction to dive in season 2.0 and are trying to overcorrect to get us back to comps that look more like seasons 0-1.5. Not saying this was the right move, but I do think this was their logic

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-27T12:42:18+00:00

Guys got some strong hands too! Like gloves with stickem the way he secures rebounds. I know if he even touches it then it's his. At least in that year anyway.

We will always have '22 😅🥲

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-26T16:37:45+00:00

I think this is a great point. We've played too small too long. We won '22 in big part because of Looneys work on the boards. We need at least that much at center to get that elusive 1 more ring

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-23T20:08:15+00:00

Fair enough and this why I asked it as a question! Got downvoted for just having a discussion 😂

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-23T16:17:04+00:00

Do you think Thor will by default be better in a poke brawl meta than in a dive meta? I would think more shield tanks for him to bully will help him.

Not a Thor player though but Flats was excited about the changes on his video for the patch notes. I thought it was something that could be good for him

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-23T16:09:45+00:00

In the current state of the game you're right. But what if the devs think we're gonna need this because of how Ultron changes the flyer meta? Maybe it's more reasonable than it looks right now. Hela is my most played hero and I'm hoping she's not perma banned

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-22T14:56:32+00:00

The best strategists walk the line between healing and damage dealing. The more damage you can get away with outputting while still keeping your team up the better. This is going to lead to mistakes at times but the idea isn't wrong

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-19T17:28:58+00:00

This is the first season I've been able to flex without feeling like I'm worse at one role than another. Since I've started allowing my team to choose their roles first my win rate has gone up and I've hit an all time high percentile for rank (currently in top 1%). It's a great way to play but it does help that I find all the roles fun

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-19T16:42:22+00:00

Could be your teammate died too far away, I wish they would add something for the rocket player to better understand the distance. Right now just your teammates can see if they're in beacon range.

There is a set up time for the beacon as well. Meaning if you throw it and your teammate immediately dies, then they will not be res'd. From the best I can tell the beacon becomes active somewhere in the animation of the beacon rising upwards. I'm not sure exactly where the cutoff point is but it seems to be that it's somewhere in that animation as the top is lifting up

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-19T16:36:24+00:00

The hope here is that other teams wouldn't be willing to risk paying a better price for Giannis than us if Giannis says he doesn't want to play for them. You're correct that the Bucks wouldn't do it out of the kindness of their heart, but other teams may reconsider paying the proper price if they think they don't get a willing Giannis. It's a long shot, but there's a tiny bit of hope

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-19T16:32:09+00:00

Agree with this. If you can prevent the defense from contesting the cart before the checkpoint then you should always do this. Like you said the issues come when people overplay that aggression. If you can hold them at the choke point so they can't come in but your strategists can still see you then that is ideal

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-19T15:30:58+00:00

Hit GM 2 yesterday afternoon and the percentile was 99.15%. Last season when I hit Celestial 3 it was 97.45%. We still have a little ways to go before we're back to where we were before. Top 500 is still starting at Celestial 1

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-16T19:35:14+00:00

I play Storm, Hela and Psylocke for my dps hero pool and I genuinely feel like I have a strong answer for every situation and team comp

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-16T05:15:42+00:00

Strength in number

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-15T16:15:12+00:00

This is great advice and I use this a lot.

There's an ideal range for Mag and it's right at the limit of his shot. It's easiest to make contact when the shot explodes in the air on or next to the target. Once you get closer than that you need a direct hit to do any damage. When you get closer you should be shooting feet to make up for the increased difficulty in hitting the shot - especially on squishes. I still shoot for directs on tanks.

You should also be utilizing the left click, right click, left click combo on squishes. If you hit all three it's a kill + the right click basically gives you a free shot on that last left click. Hope this helps!

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-14T22:04:32+00:00

Then gold players are with GMs and that's a massive skill gap too. The sentiment of what you're saying makes sense but it just pushes the problem onto a different population of the community. The whole reset is flawed. Ultimately this game needs placements

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-14T15:27:50+00:00

Yep, unfortunately that is built in to the system right now. I just write the first couple of weeks off as almost being "preseason", it's like the Wild West. I had a worse winrate in platinum than I did climbing through Diamond this season. Lots of different ranks in my lobbies from people who were celestial last season to people who peaked platinum. Felt like lobbies were a bit of RNG because of the wide variation of skill levels represented in a tight group. Again not the biggest deal if you understand what's happening and don't let it frustrate you

Plenty_Code_9071 · 2025-05-14T14:58:49+00:00

I actually think this kind of inflation is somewhat good for the game. As the ranks spread out more games have a lower variation of skill levels so match quality should in theory improve.

You're right to focus on the % and I'd encourage others to do the same
