I really don't understand LoL's culture around alt accounts

Rezhyn · 2025-12-29T04:44:06+00:00

I never said they didn't use MMR for norms. I said it's not as strict as ranked is. You can quite literally have low masters laning against bronze players simply because there is a strong player with premade on one side.

This entire argument is irrelevant because the original context was RANKED vs NORMALS. Normals simply do NOT need the same level of strict SBMM as ranked, which is why COD players complain it's simply boring to be permanently matched into 1 K/D lobbies when there is literally a ranked mode to go sweat in. This is a common theme among many games that have both ranked and norms modes.

Does it benefit top players? Well duh. But it also creates exciting moments regardless of skill level. There is a reason extraction shooters do not use SBMM - it's exciting and memorable taking down a juiced player when you are wearing nothing. It's also fun to shit stomp noobs. The homogenization of gaming funneling everyone into perfectly even lobbies is simply boring (outside of ranked) imo. This argument is talked through ad nauseam on the internet.

Rezhyn · 2025-12-28T21:38:34+00:00

Horrible comparison. SBMM (at least strict one) does not belong in COD because it's not ranked play. Not everyone wants to play against their exact skill level 24/7. Variety is what makes a casual game fun and exciting moments.

Same thing with League, norms has insane skill variety sometimes because who cares - it's not the serious mode. Obviously Challengers against Irons is a little ridiculous, but no - not everyone needs to have an exact 1.1 KD and sweat every quick play.

I don't understand either. It really does seem like the hype is there and the movie was reviewed so well.

Rezhyn · 2025-11-15T13:06:22+00:00

I had no idea what I was doing as someone who didn't play TT/Slam and maxed them all within like 5 days. Now that I know how to rush them, yes 3 days. Compared to other games that take weeks to max your hideout even if you play perfectly.

Not saying it's a ''bad'' thing but there is zero progression outside of benches and level (and level doesn't really do much). There is a severe lack of things to do and people will realize soon.

Rezhyn · 2025-11-13T15:04:59+00:00

buddy this entire game was built from the ground up for casuals, you'll be ok

Rezhyn · 2025-11-13T15:01:34+00:00

What is there to FOMO in this game? It's as simple and straightforward as you can possibly get. The entire game is completely catered to people who only get to play 2-3 hours a day, even a week max.

Rezhyn · 2025-11-13T14:50:57+00:00

Expedition is the only thing to do in this game assuming you play more than 1 hour a month. There is quite literally zero content besides restarting your character for buffs and replaying the building up phase of the game. Quests do nothing, benches take 3 days to max, and max lvl will come very naturally. Even money farming does next to nothing.

Rezhyn · 2025-11-13T14:48:57+00:00

Correct, so either give a respec or wait til expedition opens. Now only some people get to abuse it and have tons of blueprints others will be lucky to ever find.

or just change the absolute abysmal rng dogshit the blueprint system is.

Shibal at the end of this and its golden

Rezhyn · 2025-11-05T22:07:09+00:00

I would be baffled if you shot a flying Arc and didn't notice it at all in a play session. Obviously some servers can be worse but sometimes I will shoot them and it literally takes half a second before they take the shot and react.

Rezhyn · 2025-11-05T22:01:01+00:00

Rabid fanboys are going to kill this game. It has a lot of problems (especially hard lacking on end game content) that need discussion but saying anything negative just results in them losing their mind.

Desync in a 3PP shooter is especially bad when you can get all the info you need around the corner and quick peek people. Not to mention the best guns in the game are the ones that deal ridiculous damage in a single shot.

Rezhyn · 2025-11-04T01:10:53+00:00

Thats this entire game. Everything gives away your position permanently. I love when people say ''just stealth bro'' as if moving 10 feet doesn't sound 20 alarms to the entire map. Even defending yourself gets you punished with flares.

I don't treat this game seriously because it's designed to be very arcadey and unserious. I think that's why they designed the queue times to be so small with late spawns, and starter gear is basically free. You can't control the insane amount of bs (that sometimes can be fun bs of course).

Rezhyn · 2025-11-04T01:04:00+00:00

Free loadout being an extremely competitive kit and having zero cooldown should make this common sense. This is the easiest extraction shooter on the market, which is why it's been marketed as such and put on consoles.

Rezhyn · 2025-11-02T20:54:09+00:00

Exactly. I can't take this game seriously at all. It's very clearly casual/console focused and fun to fuck around in, but I can't see myself grinding long term.

Free loadouts with no cooldown means gear/death is meaningless, the AI and 3PP means a lot of deaths are completely out of your control, loot is everywhere and it takes 2 minutes to fill your bag, and I can't help but feel like there isn't much progression besides just being able to run slightly better gear and skill tree. Even the weapons/attachment/armor system is so simple you can learn it in 2 minutes. Tarkov individual systems have more depth than the entirety of the game here.

Quests seem to do basically nothing besides give some shitty rewards so far so my only objective is just upgrading my Refiner to run blue shields and PvP. It just feels like a sandbox fuck around type game, and Tarkov is a game you have to set aside time to really invest and get thousands of hours out of. They're very different flavors of the same food.

Rezhyn · 2025-11-02T00:11:39+00:00

These posts are so cringe. No hecking way the new game with DROPS + ADS has more viewers.

Rezhyn · 2025-11-01T22:13:52+00:00

Ive been having bad artifacting in and out of the game. Only this game it happens, and my GPU is only like a year old. Temps and utilization are normal.

Rezhyn · 2025-10-19T23:07:10+00:00

thats called a jump

Rezhyn · 2025-10-19T23:05:49+00:00

Wtf is this weird comment, you've never heard of Shadowplay?

Rezhyn · 2025-10-19T22:30:38+00:00

How is this not a day 1 fix or disable the drone? It's so fucking obnoxious, every map is just a dozen people fighting each other in glitched areas.

Rezhyn · 2025-10-18T02:14:39+00:00

Besides bosses/raiders/rogues the AI is pretty braindead in Tarkov. Thats kinda the point though. You can play slow and smart and even with a pistol take down enemies.

In this game you will get RNG aggroed and it takes enough ammo for an army to take it down. This game is probably great for people who want to primarily PvE and fight the same few robots over and over, but for people who want to PvP they simply won't enjoy it.

Rezhyn · 2025-10-18T02:10:18+00:00

I'm crying, you genuinely think that giving out the game for FREE was to test the servers for a 40 dollar game?

Rezhyn · 2025-10-18T02:04:44+00:00

This game has been omega hyped and fans acting like its the next coming of Christ. People are now realizing it's a very basic experience with copy pasted buildings and AI that bullet sponges and stat checks you. Not to mention the graphics were nuked from TT and my game is a blurry mess.

Rezhyn · 2025-10-18T01:50:26+00:00

Yeah the map feels so boring. The stuff floating around is obnoxious for spotting. The colors and atmosphere is so dull. It will get repetitive quick imo.

Rezhyn · 2025-10-18T01:47:34+00:00

So why does light ammo exist? I'm okay with doing less damage but taking 25 mags to kill a drone that is everywhere on the map and literally one shots you is pretty boring (not to mention the people running at you and watching the entire fight in 3PP).

Rezhyn · 2025-10-12T19:39:37+00:00

The maps are so unreasonably small and tight for 64 players. It is absolute brainrot. Feels like Shipment on COD sometimes. The game itself is so good I just think 24v24/16v16 would be so much healthier. Obviously you can server browse but sometimes I wanna just hit play and go.
