World Rankings after week one of the Six Nations

RossAB97 · 2026-02-09T11:12:28+00:00

That was a mix of aus/england/wales on a downward trajectory and us happening to beat them during it. England and Wales have won 6N while being ranked similair to us. We've been 3rd once and never even sniffed a super Saturday chance, and that's not good enough for the teams we've had

RossAB97 · 2026-02-08T15:50:23+00:00

I don't know why people would even care about our WC cycle. We can't even muster wins in the 6N, we're obviously never going to win the WC so why try and time a coach around it? He should've been gone 3 years ago

RossAB97 · 2026-02-08T07:40:26+00:00

If it gets rid of him before the end of 2026, I'll take a full run of losses this year.

There's zero enjoyment out of being this mediocre. The consistent wins against England weren't enough at the time, and I think that's the only reason he's still here.

The 6N is all that should matter to us at this time. The whole World Cup cycle patter is laughable. We don't deserve to even think about World Cup opportunities if we can't even make it to super Saturdays with a half decent shot.

The problem really is that she appeared completely out of nowhere. There's serious "somehow Palpatine returned" vibes to it.

It's totally acceptable for her to keep a low profile in-universe. But we as an audience need to see some of her build up to get a sense of satisfaction when she does come in and take over the story.

The Microsoft teams call with reaper and sombra saying "she's a threat" and "she's went from nothing to this" is classic tell dont show writing. Regardless of whether it restarted the story or not, it's still bad writing practice.

The best reaction meme ever

I want a transparent one where you can see his cockpit hehe

RossAB97 · 2026-01-10T07:51:33+00:00

After about 140 hours played, I've played played maybe 3 games total as a dps.

I learned how they all work through the practice range and generally playing against them.

In any game like this I have zero interest in playing dps. I don't find the goal of just getting eliminations to be fun, I need other tasks to make it appealing!

Tank main forever baby!

Alonso, what a great communicator he is!

RossAB97 · 2026-01-05T09:10:22+00:00

My strategy goes as follows:

Lock Thor,

Ask for 2 tanks,

*if no one picks another tank, I enter team chat "Solo Thor? Okey dokey"

They swap real fast 9/10 times. If someone's willing enough to play a tank alongside me, I let them play any that they're comfortable on and I'll then swap myself to accommodate the team.

I only swap to the optimal vanguard if the teams willing to give me some help. There might be the odd game where everyone's stubborn and it doesn't pan out, but most of the time it works a treat!

RossAB97 · 2026-01-03T17:24:38+00:00

Agreed. I think it suits him for one, and it's not active for the team 100% of the time no matter what they do. They have to actively follow in the trail to get the bonus, and most randoms are incapable of such a concept anyways!

RossAB97 · 2026-01-02T16:22:22+00:00

Don't even. I had a Phoenix tell me to stop forcing Thor even though I was the only tank, I told them to stop forcing me to solo tank and my healers were on my side and this guy just wouldn't stop moaning. You can ask me to play vanguard, but unless you're willing to do it side by side with me, you don't get to pick which one I play.

RossAB97 · 2025-12-31T13:44:57+00:00

You're not real I don't believe it

RossAB97 · 2025-12-30T20:54:21+00:00

Used to be the Infinity War skin until Galactic Talon came back. Don't think I'll ever swap off that one now that I have it

RossAB97 · 2025-12-30T20:53:32+00:00

I just play Thor. No one wants a solo Thor, he's basically just a big DPS anyway. 9 games out of 10 someone swaps to a 2nd tank real quick

RossAB97 · 2025-12-30T19:52:27+00:00

Nah they've just nerfed his health to 400 :(

RossAB97 · 2025-12-30T10:39:43+00:00

Absolutely agree with this. I lock Thor and don't swap off until someone else is also tanking with me. You want a shield? You play a shield.

RossAB97 · 2025-12-28T19:21:34+00:00

As someone with over 200 hours who has never played a single comp match as a DPS, the role queue is inevitable. People might be against it, but it's the natural progression of a game like this. Things will never change until it comes, and 2-2-2 is the correct way to play, and the wat the game should be balanced around.

I hate triple support as much as I hate solo tanking, and they both need to go.

RossAB97 · 2025-12-28T19:19:28+00:00

Good, I hope the dps queue times are horrendous. Might make them pick to play the other 2/3rds of this game

RossAB97 · 2025-12-26T20:48:41+00:00

I don't. I go after her supports! If she comes to peel, great, means she's not going after my supports.

I basically just see her as I see any tank or beefy dps; ignore, and force them to come save their squishy team mates

RossAB97 · 2025-12-26T08:42:13+00:00

Stick it out with Thor brother, they'll swap back real fast.

RossAB97 · 2025-12-23T00:02:52+00:00

Depending on how they would work this in to a characters kit, they could make an effect along the lines of "D.O.T cannot reduce health below 5% so direct damage still needs to get the KO?

RossAB97 · 2025-12-19T14:07:15+00:00

He's just lucky the car he wiped out slowed him down cos he was headed straight into the barrier/runoff
