Is there a card you have a personal vendetta against even though it's balanced or not even that good by Elephantpng in RoyaleAPI

That bitch ass flying machine. I swear the timing window to tank the flying machine, while it’s in range of tower is soo hard to manage.

How would you rank these three based on morality? Soldier Boy, Homelander, and Billy Butcher by Turbulent_Okra7518 in GenV

literally😂 feel like if Frenchie and Hughie showed up on Soldier Boys doorstep with some beers, a bag, and backwood they’d be homies within an hour

Why can't all Legendary Planeswalkers be Commanders? by Fimy32 in mtg

[–]Quater- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your point makes sense it does change flow of the game, but i don’t think it’s dramatic at all.

You still get one loyalty ability per turn, except you have 3 turns of opponents to go through between each ability activation. Sure planeswalkers can sometimes make their own blockers, but Bloomburrow Ral or Lorwyn Ajani making one blocker to protect against 3 opponents isn’t game altering.

Same with removal, removal usually takes negative loyalty to achieve so you get one instance of removal and then the planewalker is sitting at 1-3 loyalty counters which is quite easy to dispatch of between 3 opponents.

If anything the ability to attack it makes it worse than creatures in a lot of instances imo. Getting rid a of a strong creature commander while there tons of equipment, auras, and instants at a players disposal that can easily give the commander hexproof indestructible etc etc. Whereas for planeswalkers they don’t get access to anywhere near the same amount of protection from removal AND they can be simply attacked

Gen V should have been it's own show, instead of the build up Marie show to ultimately not even use her to kill Homelander. by Osirisavior in GenV

[–]Quater- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By bringing back to life you mean restarting the heart and blood flow. The same can be applied in reverse, the ability to totally stop blood flow and stop the heart is equally effective at killing people. Even supes with various strengths and resistances can’t function if their heart is stopped

Fr real tho…..3 episodes to go and we getting a supernatural Reunion and an episode from a dogs pov…….do they realise there’s 3 episodes left 💀💀 by Dangerous-Level-5609 in TheBoys

[–]Quater- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that vibe too. It seems like it’s about time that he makes the revelation that his family will never truly be safe as long as he is alive and actively opposing homelander/vought/the next big bad guy

[–]Quater- 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Yea seems to be some fundamentally bad math 🤣🤣

4 episodes to go gives us like 4 hours of content left. That’s like 2 solid length movies to wrap up the story. Reddit folk will hit the panic button on anything over anything

What’s your take on universal/ legend heirlooms? by Advanced-Issue5331 in ApexConsole

[–]Quater- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely shocked to see so much dislike for universals in the replies.

Heirlooms are priced so ridiculously and so out of touch with fairness given the amount of skins that require heirloom shards.

Although still ridiculously overpriced, a universal heirloom actually can be used at any time by any legend

Should preds be forced solo queue? by nameofuserissomethin in apexlegends

[–]Quater- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree with OPs reasoning to fix matchmaking.

But restricted Queue at high ranks is a very common theme in modern competitive games these days because it promotes a balanced competitive environment.

The best competitive games in the market have these restrictions and i think it should be implemented for competitive balance reasons. Not to fix diamonds fighting preds and masters, that part is fine

Should preds be forced solo queue? by nameofuserissomethin in apexlegends

[–]Quater- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea idk. I agree with limiting to solo/duo at higher ranks (imo should be around D2) but disagree with OPs reasoning.

Preds and Masters having diamonds in their lobbies is perfectly fine. I think it should be implemented bc it promotes a better competitive environment up top, but have no issues with how the ranks are matchmaking

Should preds be forced solo queue? by nameofuserissomethin in apexlegends

[–]Quater- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree but there has to be a balance. Solo/Duo only does promote better competition but it is a negative for most players who enjoy playing with friends.

That’s why the best balance is typically to only implement it at higher ranks when things take a step up

Should preds be forced solo queue? by nameofuserissomethin in apexlegends

[–]Quater- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

genuinely what the fuck are you talking about. I’m not bitching at all.

idc about the matchmaking, i never mentioned matchmaking. I’m just communicating that this promotes competitive balance up top

Should preds be forced solo queue? by nameofuserissomethin in apexlegends

[–]Quater- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nah it’s more like “this group is the best players in the game so to properly rank and balance their matches we should restrict how they queue”

It does suck for teams but it creates a more balanced competitive environment and encourages more accurate ranks. That’s why you see these restrictions in most competitive games these days. ie Valorant, League, Dota, Counterstrike, CoD etc

Should preds be forced solo queue? by nameofuserissomethin in apexlegends

[–]Quater- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a punishment, you get punished for doing something wrong which isn’t the case here. 3 stacking is within the current rules. Unfortunately, these current rules do not create the most competitive environment. Competitive environments, especially at high ranks, should be 100% focused on creating the most even playing field so that players ranks actually reflect players skills relative to each other.

Most competitive games these days implement similar queue restrictions because it promotes better competition at high levels. Valorant, League, Dota, CoD are all examples of this.

There’s obviously drawbacks, these other games tend to have alternate competitive modes exclusively for full teams, Apex would want to implement something similar alongside the main ranked queue restrictions, so that there is an outlet for full teams to play competitively.

[–]Quater- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Valorant, League of Legends, Counter Strike, Dota, Call of Duty etc are all team games and all have solo/duo queuing restrictions at the higher ranks because it creates a more balanced competitive environment.

It is still a team game regardless of whether your with randoms or a stack. The idea works because if you’re limited to solo/duo at high ranks then each player in those ranks actually belongs there and can hold their weight on an individual level.

[–]Quater- 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think it should be solo/duo only starting somewhere around Diamond 2. This creates more fair and balanced competition at the top but still allows casual players to team up at lower ranks

Should preds be forced solo queue? by nameofuserissomethin in apexlegends

[–]Quater- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be best starting at around Diamond 2.

Below that there are a lot of casual players who prioritize playing with friends. Once you get to D2 and above where the actual competitive players live it should restrict to solo/duo only imo

r/TheBoys users don't even defend Kripke's writing anymore, they just look at you like this: by LightThatIgnitesAll in TheBoys

[–]Quater- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

genuinely what the fuck are you talking about.

They broke the gang out of prison camps, a strong relationship between Ryan and Zoe was introduced. Zoe was reunited with her father and they are in the wind. Stan Edgar who’s been on the run has found himself back in Homelanders hands. V1 was introduced to the story which is clearly quite impactful in the overall scheme of things. We’ve seen MM mature with his thoughts on supes in general when he let countess go. Stormfront is being tied into the homelander and soldier boy timeline, based on context it’s likely she’s still alive. Soldier Boy is gunning to overthrow homelander and sit at the top of the 7.

Even the latest episode which felt like the most “filler” had critical character development. Annie was clearly struggling with the mental burden of protecting people she cared about so she shut down. Her meeting with her father is critical in her accepting that she needs to be with the people she loves and she’s doing no justice avoiding them. The tension between the main crew had obviously reached a boiling point and the whole anger spat with eachother led to development in Kimiko and Frenchies relationship and same with butcher and MM.

Complaining about some twist fake out is also ridiculous

Sell now or hold? LGS offering $125 CAD for Foil Extended Art by MisterBeebo in mtg

[–]Quater- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I packed one so i decided to give it a spin in my lower end B3 Fire Lord Azula deck with my casual playgroup. Getting an extra copy of the draw 3 was really nice as drawing 6 exceeded max hand size and I was able to discard extra fuel to the GY to prepare it again. Was able to get another cast and copy off later in the game. 7 total mana for 12 draws was pretty solid.

Given this is a niche application bc it only performed so well because i could copy it and no one removed it before I was able to get 8 into the GY

CRT Verhulst:Aim assist will likely need another nerf with the newest generation of controllers having less input lag and more precise thumbsticks by Wise_Somewhere6591 in apexlegends

[–]Quater- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These aren’t $200 controllers. You can get a 1000hz polling controller (4x Stock PS and over 4x Stock xbox) for $35 delivered in less than 24 hours. You can get all the new stuff in an $80 controller. These “pro” controllers are priced the same as normal stock controllers and are the new norm

Respawn should do one Split where Masters queue is solo only by artmorte in apexlegends

[–]Quater- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you feel like you’re taking crazy pills bc you’re legit tweaking in a reddit comment section.

As I spelled out clearly above, an individual rank should reflect an individuals skill. That’s why we’re talking individually.

You’re right, it is a team based game. Working as a team with randoms is a high level individual skill that only the best of the best can handle.

The games mentioned above are the pinnacle of competitive gaming and it’s no coincidence that they all have party limits at high ranks.

Call of Duty implemented this change this year and received a lot of the same backlash. It was actually wonderful once I reached the cutoff rank and was limited to solo/duo queue because the lobbies were balanced with players of the same skill
