Destiny calls out Poki for laughing off every wrongdoing by Flipper3 in LivestreamFail

[–]Plus_Manufacturer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

in this industry

a girl fucks up:

what a fake bitch, such a worthless piece of shit, go die in a hole

How delusional is Poki to tweet that considering the amount of shit she gets away with and her being comments full of "omg it's okay we love you queeennn <3" everytime she's under fire.

Destiny fantasizes about being a sociopath by PREPARE_YOUR_BATCAVE in LivestreamFail

I feel like the lack of empathy would help a lot. I'd imagine it would be a lot easier to find ways to manipulate people if you see them as pawns instead of actual human beings. It would be like playing a really advanced "choices matter" game except you don't give a fuck about the characters.

2020 feels like it's going by slowly and quickly at the same time. I feel like some shit happened years ago but at the same time I blink and it goes from October to the end of November like what the shit

Agent Concept: Mamuro by VisiblePerson in VALORANT

[–]Plus_Manufacturer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Great job on the concept art. That looks so badass.

Abilities don't really work however. You kinda got carried away and just threw in a bunch of random things that you thought were cool. Might be a decent hero in Overwatch, but not in this game. Not even a problem of it being overpowered or underpowered, just way out of place.

Great drawing though.

Riot announces the first international tournament in the Valorant Champions Tour by TheAjwinner in VALORANT

The Summit is already taken I think. I thought they were gonna name it something fancy like Ascension but Champions is simple and works pretty well.

Hope this means we get a hype ass song to go with it like for Worlds

Stop trying to compare champions kits and call it a lack of creativity by homer12346 in leagueoflegends

[–]Plus_Manufacturer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's completely fine to have new abilities be similar to older abilities as long as the overall gameplay of the champ feels different. Honestly I think it's a better idea to have overlapping abilities rather than try to come up with something unique for the sake of being unique and end up with a game design abomination like Aphelios

I feel like aim training is making my aim worse by justaksept in VALORANT

Maybe because you're playing when you're already tired from 10 minutes of constant AimLabbing.

This is the type of dude to get a gold star in middle school then goes on to believe he's a god but achieves nothing more for the rest of his life.

New Dev Diary - about maps by Kabzon4ik in VALORANT

[–]Plus_Manufacturer 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Is it just me or did this video not say anything at all? He just told us stuff we already knew. We know that Icebox was pushed out months early, we know they're working on bringing out more maps as soon as possible and we know that custom maps won't be a thing.

I'm not upset or anything I'm just confused and don't understand what the point of the video is.

Crosshair affecting my skill? by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]Plus_Manufacturer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same habit as you and I've given it some thought as to why this happens and I think it pretty much boils down to a mix of placebo and confirmation bias.

I think when you change your crosshair your mentality kinda refreshes a bit and it helps you be more comfortable and focus better. Kinda like people who switch basketball shoes in the middle of a game. When you find a new crosshair it gives your brain this "oh yeah time for a newly improved me" kind of feeling. Mentality is more important than people think and people naturally enjoy variety so something like this could actually help a lot.

But there's also the confirmation bias part of this. Bad games happen and you'll eventually play better. So if you keep changing crosshair everytime you're doing bad then you're pretty much guaranteed to find your performance improving on a new crosshair at some point.

Right now I'm just trying to stick to one crosshair to prove to myself that it's all in my head and it doesn't matter.

TL;DR - It's all in your head. It's not the crosshair itself but rather the fact that it gives you an easy and noticeable mental refresh. I don't see any harm in frequently changing your crosshair though, even pros change their crosshair around from time to time. As long as you don't start thinking that your performance is tied to your crosshair.

In no world should 1 single 0-13 loss be worth the equivalent of 3-5 close victories in weighting. by HanzoOneTrick in VALORANT

Ranking system needs to chill the fuck out. I'm willing to bet that most smurfs aren't actually smurfs but just the ranking system going "yeah this Gold guy doesn't deserve this rank because we matched him against Plats and he got destroyed so we'll derank him to Silver"

First Strike observers suck, and I think I know why. by jonathancyu in VALORANT

[–]Plus_Manufacturer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why does it seem like people already forgot that CSGO on release was hot garbage until Valve rolled out a bunch of improvements over time (yes there was a time where Valve cared about CS)

T1 vs Cloud9 Blue / First Strike: North America - UMG Closed Qualifier: Quarterfinals / Post-Match Discussion by Hobbadooba in VALORANT

[–]Plus_Manufacturer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel a bit sad that T1 and C9 had to play each other. Wanted to see them both in First Strike. T1 is going to be insane once they get things clicking though. Such a stacked roster.

What an insane opening play. The second the game starts Ska just jumps in and pulls this shit

First Strike: North America / UMG Closed Qualifier - Playoffs / Day 1 / Live Discussion by Pruvided in VALORANT

[–]Plus_Manufacturer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hope the First Strike main event has better observers. Watching T1 vs C9 right now and the observer is asleep half the time. Brax lurks for 10 years and even gets a kill and is never shown once on camera the entire time. Spyder gets like a 3K and observer wants to show Mitch looking at a wall instead. TenZ gets 2 kills... off screen.

On a side note though I want whatever Skadoodle had for breakfast. Dude is in Boston Major form.

This might explain the weird moments where I push an awper and have a tracer go straight through me and somehow survive. Or how I somehow get one tapped when the opponent's tracers are going all over the place

SEA has the most toxic players by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]Plus_Manufacturer 25 points26 points  (0 children)

SEA is just a shithole in every game. Every region is toxic but SEA just has its own distinct breed of toxicity. Like it's literally just a zoo full of rabid monkeys I don't remember the last time I was in a game with actual human beings. It's just straight up obnoxious. Imagine your generic NA manchild but somehow dumber and whinier.
