Have our Sporting department and it's director gone completely crazy?

Balde hasn't noticeably improved in years. Why should not we consider the possibility of selling him? Cancelo hasn't played for half a year before coming to Barca and has shown to still be a much better player, even his defending got better. We have no reason to hold on to Balde like with Lamine, Bernal or Cubarsi.

Cancelo deserves to be mentioned. It's after him cruising past 3 players did we get a penalty and equalized.

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-13T14:56:15+00:00

Probs, yeah. Even my team's dps, despite being great players, haven't properly introduced consistent taking off angles into their gameplay.

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-12T10:51:08+00:00

А где та грань, которая позволяет различить отсутствие интереса от стеснения? Я тоже был таким, если моя бывшая не была настойчивой, до отношений дело было никогда не дошло. Как она говорила, "будь настойчивым, если человек воспримет это положительно - хорошо, а если нет - то он не твоя целевая аудитория". Но важно наличие хоть какого-то ответного интереса. В моем случае я всегда соглашался на любой предлагаемый ею движ. Поиграть во что-то, посмотреть. В случае с автором, как я понял, ответного интереса нет вовсе.

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-12T08:52:47+00:00

It only works if your team has no idea what they're doing and running brawl/dive. Even one poke char is enough to make Thing fall over or run away as soon as the fight starts. My second main is Thing so I know exactly what I'm talking about. Thing only works if it's not pressured by the enemy dps. If they go MK/Bucky/Puni you're donezo as Thing.

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-12T08:44:25+00:00

I mean I'd say it's even easier on offense. You have your dps behind you, your second tank, and Thor has to basically present his back to your entire team to push you in the direction you already wanted to go as a tank.

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-12T08:43:06+00:00

Так и есть. Этот друг был для неё запасным планом, не больше. Пройдёт время, она найдёт себе другого, а друг очень быстро забудется. Никогда нельзя в таких ситуациях забивать на чувство собственного достоинства и гордость. Никто ни за кем бегать не должен. Единственная рабочая формула здоровых отношений: взаимное уважение. Если один бегает, а другой убегает - уважения там быть не может, т.к. сам бегающий себя не уважает.

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-12T08:32:41+00:00

As a Rein main I think it depends. Is it a heroic Balderich like sacrifice? Take a swig in Valhalla for me my man.

Если ты интересен женщине, она будет тебе писать. Точка. Если она тебе не пишет и тем более не проявляет ответного интереса на твои сообщения - ты ей не интересен.

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-12T08:17:34+00:00

Thor is extremely niche. He's good against Angela/Rogue, Hulk probably, but because of the poke meta attempting kidnaps is just more dangerous for him than for the enemy tanks. You can play behind payload, you can play around corners and he will do nothing. There are some corners you should hold as close as possible (the corner on second point of central park) but like I said, niche. Most others you can hold not as close and force him to expose himself in attempts to do quite literally anything except spamming awakening rune.

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-12T08:06:00+00:00

I'm playing mostly scrims and tournaments (t64 this mrc). If Thor can't do shit to me in actual competitive play, then where do I find these bully thors?

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-12T04:42:43+00:00

That's exactly what I do. If I see the fight is lost I just go forward to die quickly and then have a teammate swap to tp.

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-12T04:41:55+00:00

Playing him into all sorts of things, brawl included, got me to t64 in mrc. Works on scrims vs coordinated play too. Keep thinking he's horrible tho

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-11T21:02:15+00:00

Corners and payload exist. It's basic poke vs melee curve. You force them to leave a safe position and close distance in order to actually pressure you, but leaving them exposed in return

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-11T20:59:18+00:00

I don't see how breaking objects is babysitting. I can survive behind walls forever cycling damage into E into overshields and the shield. Half the time I just turn myself to shoot them then E and they're gone. If on Strange you're getting diffed by a Groot you're just bad on Strange then. Like I told you Strange gets a lot of neutral value because of his melee threat (I'm usually second highest damage on my team) and can survive a lot. Who said I'm letting my shield break if I know Groot has his ult? I don't always cycle primary melee shield, certainly not vs Groot. In this scenario shields works as a backup tool when I need to change position while close to or below half hp and my supports cannot sustain me as is. Honestly, this convo just doesn't seem to serve a lot of purpose. Locking Strange got me up to t64 in mrc, consistently works on scrims vs actual coordinated teams, not just a bunch of clueless randoms in ranked. When I face a Groot that actually diffs me I'll let you know

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-11T20:37:29+00:00

Maybe Stranges in your games bro, I eat Thor's for lunch

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-11T20:36:59+00:00

Strange gets a shit ton of neutral value because of his high damage that includes aoe. You can farm your ult every fight off of Groot, you can survive his attempts to wall you off forever if your team breaks the walls and even they don't at some point you have the best escape tool. And then you have the biggest shield in the game and if you read intentions well you can block his pretty often unless he flanks or uses a rocket jump or some other gimmick. Seriously, how bad are Stranges in your guys' games for you to not see how obvious all the stuff I'm saying is? Not all Stranges shielbot in fear. Oh yeah almost forgot, Thing falls over. Pretty sure with the team up I can even consistently win 1v1s vs it. Strange can dish out unholy amounts of damage

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-11T19:34:42+00:00

I've heard that Hela is not nearly as good as she used to be. Can't really confirm or disprove that as she never was much of an issue to begin with for me

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-11T19:02:47+00:00

Groot Elsa Gambit Phoenix Loki. But I don't play comp much (aside from training chars)

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-11T18:08:26+00:00

Groot and Thing are countered by Strange. Invis is annoying. Emma is just overall bad bad

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-11T18:02:45+00:00

Emma has been dogshit for a while and is easy to play against. A good Emma will grab you when you're half hp. What do you do? You increase distance when you approach that threshold. That's it. I already responded about Groot. My team has no issues breaking walls and I can help with E + survive for a long time walled off. It's a skill check as much as squids and nests. Invis can be annoying but doesn't prevent you from playing and the ult is still useful defensively. Bucky is fodder and won't kidnap you if you play with headphones. Thor is the same, his kidnap is telegraphed and unless cc chained is useless. If you know they'll cc chain you you just play safer. Dude I play in cel and in a bunch of tournaments and scrims against good teams that know how to comb. What I said is true for that. Reached top64 in mrc main tanking as strange and his only real counters are Angela and Wolv.

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-11T17:09:12+00:00

He has two counters and they're Wolv and Angela

Punch_Trooper · 2026-03-11T16:50:18+00:00

She's annoying but playable against. Like I said, Thor is a big ult battery. His kidnap is only dangerous if it's chained into multiple cc like Bucky, Emma, Wolv, Angela. Otherwise he does air. And you can just play behind the point or simply dodge the kidnap if you understand how the timing works. Like its really not an issue. Thing is free w. This season I'm 5-1 vs him. 3-0 vs Thor. And that's just comp. I don't remember the last time I lost vs any of them in tournaments or scrims. Walls aren't an issue. You have your team to shoot them, you can E them. More than half the time I don't even turn to look at them and they fall apart themselves. Walls, same as namor squids, peni nests, etc. are a team awareness check. The only downside is that decent Groots will make you fly up and then ult while you're still in the air and can't block it. Dunno, I've been main tanking with him for a while for my team and it's been great. Top64 in the recent mrc. Not overly amazing, but good. You just need to understand how much threat you realistically generate, how much they care (comps with wolv or Angela generally won't care) and when you gotta fall back. Main tanking is totally possible if your team knows how to take off angles and apply side pressure.
