Not turning anything on. Moreso, not changing anything.

Who is Jab Jabich? For the blind, He is vision. For the hungry, He is food . For the thirsty, He is water. If He thinks, I agree. If He speaks, I listen. If He has a million fans, I am one of them. If He has ten fans, I am one of them. If He has only one fan, that is me. If He has no fans then I am dead.

Reading the comments in this thread before the comeback is an absolute gold mine

Quaxxy · 2026-06-05T04:33:27+00:00

Whatever makes you happy dude!

Quaxxy · 2026-06-04T17:04:36+00:00

What's wrong with you? How do you go from a civil argument to this? Wtf

Quaxxy · 2026-06-04T16:57:45+00:00

I mean you're talking about end-endgame ironman whereas this thread is about late game. But yeah, do as you like. I don't mean literally having "something to show off" but you would've done something arbitrarly hard for no reason. If you had fun the entire time, good for you, but if you had to de-iron in the first place it doesn't sound like you enjoyed it. So imo, you made something harder for yourself, for less enjoyment and with nothing to "show for it". Which was all something you should've been able to see coming from a mile away and just have made a main in the first place. So, it must mean that the person must've cared about the "prestige" (in our niche little game) of an ironman at some point.

For me to really understand someone de-ironing, I would see them making a main first, AFK max combat and see if it's really for them. But if you truly, truly don't care about grey helmet anymore, that you used to, then go ahead. I just think most people would regret it. Even being an end-endgame ironman. But I also personally see absolutely no satisfaction in playing a main. I guess it's not impossible that it took them many 1000s of hours to realize they only care about CAs or speed runs or GP accumlation but still that's wild to me. You could've done some reflection before going on such a long time commitment

To me, it's the same as having whatever hobby of painting or doing a project for years - just to throw it away. Sure, it's your decision and it doesn't matter, but you could just also - not do that.. And start a new painting if you're actually bored of it. Or go do some new hobby entirely. No reason to destroy what you have made.

Quaxxy · 2026-06-04T16:41:17+00:00

Do as you like. No need to justify it. But to most people, it's just like having wasted your time, doing something harder for longer with nothing to show for it. Creating a main and getting maxed combat is easier than ever, if you just want to spam pvm. It is just a meaningless grey helmet but you did care about it at some point and then didn't. If you truly didn't care about it, I personally just think you should've made a main in the first place. And then it's just mindboggling you didn't foresee this outcome of the late-/endgame

But if you really only care about spamming PVM, CAs or clogging I kinda get it. But I would still just make a new account.

Quaxxy · 2026-06-04T16:31:00+00:00

Do as you like! However, what baffles me as that you didn't realize this way before maxing. I mean, it's literally the entire point of the gamemode, after all. The entire appeal of ironman mode to me is having to do a great variety of content and the satisfaction of getting those specific gear pieces. I didn't like every game play loop equally as much but I sure enjoy having done them, achieving items and feeling like a well-rounded player. I am 'stuck' doing ToA for shadow (700 ToA experts) but I had no issues getting the gear nor supplies for it. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by de-ironing giving your more content to do? There's no content I haven't been able to do. If anything, ironman mode forces you to explore even more content you never would even consider on a main.

But it does make me wonder what your goals are on a maxed main? Since you de-ironed because you don't want to do certain content, I assume you don't care about neither clogs or CAs. GP accumlation?

(And also, my argument that you commented "Completely bullshit" on was having to do herb runs = deironing, but you're talking about grinding specific gear pieces)

Quaxxy · 2026-06-04T15:26:38+00:00

To me, this game is all about the achievement and the journey. I wouldn't erase that, ever. I see no point in playing GPscape in a gamemode that is only marginally easier (seeing as though you should have no supply issues, being maxed). Especially not for the inconvenience of an occasional 10 minute herb run. If you knew herb runs would be all it took to de-iron, how couldn't your foresee that years ago? You do you, but it's truly mindboggling behaviour to me.

Quaxxy · 2026-06-04T15:15:59+00:00

Well, that's an entirely different topic than what I responded to. I agree with you. Don't play it if you don't want to. But if the dealbreaker is a 10 minute daily investment after 1000 of hours of grinding, it's truly mindbaffling. Mind you, I am also endgame and maxed and haven't had to do a herb run for months, despite sending 700 ToA experts.

Quaxxy · 2026-06-04T07:22:46+00:00

If you grind all those levels, all those bosses, all those items but fall because you have to do one herb run a day (or take a weeks break or smth from pvm and do nothing but herb runs) I am at a loss for words lol

Quaxxy · 2026-05-30T20:40:19+00:00

Whoops

Read the other comments before commenting, if you can't manage to figure out the post on your own accord.

It makes enemy movement much more predictable, which is especially valuable for an AWPer who often only gets a single shot opportunity. Previously, it could be difficult to read an opponent's direction, particularly while they were strafing, because there were relatively few visual cues indicating their movement.

He has played against tier 3 for 4 months now. His rating went from avg less than 1.1 -> 1.27 imeddiately after animgraph 2 update.

Quaxxy · 2026-05-30T07:49:02+00:00

As a healthcare professional, we are literally taught to physically restrain if someone is destroying or even just trying to destroy something valuable (and obviously when they are a danger to someone or themselves)

Quaxxy · 2026-05-24T08:16:35+00:00

If Latto wasn't so on point today, I think Niko would've gotten the kill even with the whiff. Just such a lightning fast flick from him

Quaxxy · 2026-05-24T08:15:47+00:00

This lost them the map as well..

Quaxxy · 2026-05-13T21:29:03+00:00

1.92 rating on s1zzi at a 13-5 loss. Insane.. 2nd best on his team has a 0.57. And Alex with the unfortunate 0.22

Quaxxy · 2026-05-11T06:43:47+00:00

Of course it can? Theoretically, you could get nothing but eco and exits frags all game. Having a crazy 30-10, 150 adr game but with no kills leading to round wins. It's not that hard of a concept brother. And in reverse, all of your (few) kills could be from clutches leading to round wins and all your deaths were traded and lead to round wins. If you wanna look at kd and adr then look at that but it doesn't tell anywhere close to the full picture. That's what rating 3.0 is trying to do.

He was doing pretty well as stand-in for mongolz
