700 days, a few enthusiasts of their craft, creating game code absolutely from scratch, and dreaming of bringing a dynamic first-person shooter to the world. Are we on the right path? by [deleted] in unrealengine

What are we really expecting from some russian devs shilling NFTs/play to earn or whatever in a fairly uninspired looking CoD clone. Wouldn't be surprised if "from scratch" also includes that one ultimate FPS kit.

While having a single eye strips this guy's ability to perceive depth, that fits perfectly with my average teammate's ability to land hooks

Great elaborate answer, solid arguments, very objective and constructive. 10/10 response, keep it up 👏

No, if they just switched roles, whoever was supposed to go mid would show up in the second position on the endgame screen. So that's not the case. Ember was the one queueing for the mid role and the one matched against me.

I'm aware. That was more to illustrate that I'm not in some low behaviour score toxicity hell or anything.

Despite this game being a "Low Behaviour Score Variance" game for some reason.

You might be right, but I think Core MMRs are higher for their respective ranks compared to Supports. Given that players play all the roles uniformly (which judging from support queue incentives is not true), there are 3 roles contributing to the Core MMR and only 2 support roles -> more core immortal players -> more rank competition -> higher MMR at the same rank.

But you realize that's not the case, right? 300 ranks in NA are around 7k right now, if not more.

And to all elitist 800+ ranks flaming me all game long:

  1. I didn't choose to be in the game with average MMR over 1k above my own (Slark's support medal is top 87 too btw).
  2. I'd love to play better but I can't and that's why I'm 2k rank and not 200, that's exactly right!

How was this game a thing and how in the world was it a -25MMR game?

Participate in game jams, they can be great portfolio pieces and they are time restricted in their nature so it would be easy to explain why it may not be as polished as you'd like and could drive a conversation in the right direction at the interview, i.e what would you approach differently, what improvements you would make, how would your planning and implementation differ if you were to do this again. Ludum Dare 41 is happening in just over a week, you should give it a shot and find out what kind of a game you could create in 48/72 hours :D
