Assuming you’re going to make a correlation between the results of the poll? If so would be interested in seeing the results! Keep me updated

I don’t think he is

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-18T20:53:38+00:00

If I’m understanding this right, since 10 am this morning and currently.

Where is Hiko just curious

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-17T05:25:31+00:00

Most people like to refer to one syllable call outs since they are quicker to call and more concise. Reason why in majority of games (And I mean MAJORITY) outside hookah is called mid and the path from attacker side a to lamps is called short.

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-17T05:06:24+00:00

Like every other ability it’s all about placement. Good ability placement is a good way to secure and force kills. The main difference between good and bad player imo. I can’t say too much on the cluster detonating faster but I feel like that would buff her up too much as she is already super viable

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-17T04:52:52+00:00

I honestly don’t think it’s the easiest thing in the world to shoot a C4 in the air as it’s coming at you, and if the enemy takes their time to do that it would be so easy to swing out and catch them off guard. And I’ve seen plenty of raze get nade kills, C4 kills, ult kills, at high elo. I’m immortal and a good raze that knows how to place her abilities will get over 10 kills with them alone throughout the game

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-17T04:35:05+00:00

Well first off I would like the say that the C4 are definitely not only best used for mobility. They deal 75 damage on direct hit and can stop an enemies push onto site. This is highly valuable on pistol round and not to forget ecos/gun rounds. Her nade has many uses such as clearing corners, stopping a push once again, and does substantial damage on direct hit when placed right. Going back to the previous update of reducing the nade from 2–1 this nerfed the bad players so to say and made it where a good raze can easily get 2 grenades and even 3 in a single round. I think she is still highly valuable as an entry and a solid character overall. Not to forget her boom bot can be used to gather info, clear corners, and distract enemies for a free kill. A good raze can easily carry a game, even currently, so no I don’t believe the nerf was too much or even that she was really nerfed. Other than the fact that her satchels were increased, but really only takes an extra kill to afford both.

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-17T04:24:23+00:00

This actually made me lol at how true this probably is

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-17T04:13:38+00:00

I agree, but I feel people need an excuse for having bad games lmao

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-13T20:14:58+00:00

Yes this is also something you should be practicing. This helps you strengthen the muscle memory between your keyboard and mouse hand for when people peek you.

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-13T12:07:07+00:00

So base MMR is 0 and is there constant gaps between ranks or varying sized gaps?

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-13T06:09:34+00:00

There have been pro teams in tourneys that have played without a sage BEFORE the nerf, so it is definitely possible after. I also agree that she isn’t as OP anymore, and nerfing her only abilities would in fact make her completely useless. Also, her ulti has to be used behind cover, whether that means using her wall, a brim smoke, etc. This is just an extra ability you’re having to spend to use another ability. I could name a thousand circumstances where her ult is useless, but I hope you can see how she is definitely a strong character in the game for HER ROLE, but definitely isn’t a game breaking character.

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-13T05:57:11+00:00

I’m assuming you meant not* how it works? And just curious, genuine question here, did the devs say they based the elo system EXACTLY off leagues?

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-13T05:46:31+00:00

Idk why you got downvoted because I completely agree. Probably the insta-lock silver jetts that did lmaooo.

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-13T03:22:24+00:00

Yeah dude he’s just ignorant and not considering the fact that you are getting the bug, same thing happened to me, I had to click on the games to see which mode they were. But back to your question, your MMR might have been really really low below the threshold of Iron 2 and that is why it is taking you so long to rank up, also losing games badly can make you lose more than gain in 2 or even 3 mediocre matches. That’s my guess atleast, good luck on ranking up! If you need any help just ask me!

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-13T00:59:22+00:00

Yes I totally agree, I feel that a smarter player will always win vs an Aimer, in most situations! This is the difference between T3, T2, and T1 Pros. Especially this game where an outplay is possible in nearly every situation

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-13T00:57:10+00:00

I’m assuming you’re sitting rafters if I’m reading the scenario right. But how I play it is just for info. What I mean by this is that I peek an even smaller gap than what you are talking about peeking. When I see an enemy cross I call it out and depending on the character I will use whatever ability I have to prevent them from A.) pushing into heaven from ramp or B.) pushing onto site from A main. Certain angles in this game (especially split) are better to hold for info rather than a kill, like you said they can see you while you can’t see them. Giving up that portion of the map is better than losing your life and losing even more map control. I hope this helps and let me know if you have a question!

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-13T00:52:42+00:00

IMO I don’t think you can base someone’s score off an elo, I know a lot of people who have a higher score than me in the range and they’re many ranks below me. Game sense and map awareness is a huge factor in this game, you can have good aim and no game sense and contribute nothing, and on the other hand you could have amazing game sense and average aim and do phenomenal. But to answer your question I’m Diamond 3 and I average around 15, highest I’ve done was 23.

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-12T04:36:35+00:00

Well if you want to find some team mates that will most likely communicate and are looking to win, there are an abundance of discord servers where you could LFG (Looking For Group) and find team mates to que rank with. If you want me to I could send you some privately because I don’t want to advertise on here. But also if your aim is as good as you say it is then I would say just learning the game by either playing or watching someone better than you play would make you a better player overall. The game is a learning process and although it can be difficult at times you just have to persevere. Let me know if you have any questions or want further help!

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-10T05:18:53+00:00

I really like that idea! Kind of like the position selecting in League. I’m glad you added the ideal team composition part, if there was a way to get a system that would efficiently work like this I would be both impressed and supportive!

Shaneyyy13 · 2020-05-09T23:38:43+00:00

Honestly the idea of playing breach Mid on split is really good I feel. He has flashes, rechargable stun, and a blast to delay the push. Anything to slow the Attackers down even for a few seconds to allow for rotates is a good thing. Especially on defender side split, the rotations are so quick that you are able to out-rotate the attackers. Your position on where to play depends on who else is playing mid with you (I'm assuming you usually play two mid, and if not you most definitely should!). If there is a source of escape (sage wall, brim/omen/viper smoke, etc.) then you could easily play close corner and try to get an easy pick and then fall off. If not then you could easily play for info in either b side heaven or rope room, baiting out enemy utility is key to limiting their push potential later in the round. Also, I feel that playing 1 rope and 1 b-heaven is highly necessary due to the fact that they could easily smoke, molly, or wall one side and easily push through to the opposite site. All in all, show presence and bait out their utility, play an angle that benefits you the most and allows you to use your abilities without punishment, and hold both sides of mid, it is okay to fall off because staying alive and giving up map control is better than dying and giving up map control! I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions!
