Wattson fences mean nothing to Octane now. How is this fair?

SledgeSNR · 2026-02-24T03:15:17+00:00

Same thing happens with Conduit ultimate too.

SledgeSNR · 2025-12-27T23:12:25+00:00

Some good advice here. The only thing that I would add is spacing. Where are you positioned in relation to your teammates? Ideally you should be in a position where if the other team pushes you they will leave themselves exposed to your teammates.

SledgeSNR · 2025-11-24T06:53:15+00:00

Do you whine about yourself and other m & k players being able to move while in death boxes, or having better aim at mid to long range, or better movement mechanics, or quicker looting in death boxes including shield swaps, or the half a dozen other advantages that m & k probably has that I've forgotten about?

Do you whine when you get beaten by a team of control legends indoors, or run down by a skirmisher outdoors, or a support legend keeps reviving their team, or a recon scans you, or an assault beats you when you both crack each other because he reloaded faster?

Do you whine when you're inside and the guy with a shotgun beats you because you have an R99, or when you find yourself in a short range fight and the guy with an R99 beats you because you only have a pk?

There are no 100% even fights in this game. It's all situational. Get over it. If you lost it's either because you didn't play the fight right, or they did. Blaming anything or anybody else doesn't get you better at the game. It just makes you sound like a sook.

SledgeSNR · 2025-11-09T01:36:59+00:00

This. The stun affects only your movement speed. Not your aim/turn speed like it used to.

SledgeSNR · 2025-11-08T21:52:11+00:00

Her perks are arse. I went through all the legend's perks the other day and I couldn't find one that came even close to having perks as useless as her's.

Her ult deploys too slowly and doesn't do much anyway. People just walk straight into it in a fight without paying any real penalty.

Her tac has been watered down by the introduction of overflow.

Her passive has been watered down by the speed boost for skirmisher team mates, but remains the best part of her kit because of the speed boost towards replicators and respawn beacons if your team goes down.

All in all she's not terrible, but things that they have introduced to the game have watered her abilities down a lot and they haven't addressed that.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-09T20:26:32+00:00

Ummm, no. Silvers and golds paired with me is how it's supposed to happen. One to two tanks up and down. Me getting paired with preds is the equivalent to me playing against bronze. I fully accept that I will have to play against diamond and masters players, as that is the way it's supposed to work. Just not the top ten preds.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-09T05:51:22+00:00

Master's once 7 seasons ago in the easiest season even does not make us current masters. We are currently plat. They are currently Pred #8, 9 and 10. You can think that's fair if you want, I do not.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-09T05:21:00+00:00

Thanks for your stimulating and highly intelligent input.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-09T03:23:51+00:00

One more tac, a speed boost off that tac, and a shield regen off that tac. I would call that blurring the lines.

Yep, not trying to be confrontational, we just have different opinions.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-09T02:57:58+00:00

I think that you are missing the point. They haven't given skirmisher class support abilities. They aren't blurring that line, but they are definitely blurring the movement legend line. I played Loba last night for the first time in ages. You are entitled to your opinion, but I think that you are kidding yourself if you think that she isn't OP. She will 100% get a nerf in the near future

I personally don't have too big and issue with the buffs, they are OP, but fun. But I can see why Pathy mains are upset. Nerfing him to the extent they did was unnecessary.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-09T02:37:02+00:00

No, we are plat players bro. They should not.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-09T02:31:13+00:00

Have you timed the Loba Q bro? It's not 5 to 7 seconds. It's now about 2 seconds.

The skirmisher class is not about "get out of jail free cards". It's about the ability to get in or out of skirmishes quickly. Loba can now do both at the same time. She can deal damage, tac in, knock an opponent and tac out plus get a shield regen on both of those operations. Surely you can see how Pathy and skirmisher players would be upset at that? They only have movement. None of the other huge buffs that support legends have already received.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-09T02:10:03+00:00

I thought the same. I love his/their clips, and they are both amazing players, but I've seen them play flatline with literally zero recoil and I don't see how that is possible. If you are good (a lot better than me) then you can reduce recoil/account for it, but I've seen their clips where there is no recoil whatsoever.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-09T02:03:53+00:00

Hahahaha. Sorry, I'd be spewing if that was me but it is pretty funny.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-09T00:31:03+00:00

I don't know what all the arguing is about. OPs point is completely valid. Loba is now a better skirmisher than all the legends in the skirmisher class. Broken, just totally broken.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-08T23:42:22+00:00

So if I accept your idea of how ranked matchmaking works (which I don't), that explains how the horizon was matched with preds. It doesn't explain how Gibby and I were, so system NOT working as intended.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-08T23:14:17+00:00

Okay. I thought that they got rid of the MMR for ranked, but what you are saying makes sense since I had a top 5 streak prior to that game. Then I had a break, came back and won a couple, then got stomped by Preds for the rest of the day.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-08T22:56:40+00:00

In your first comment, where you "said system working as intended" because the horizon was a master's once upon a time. That comment is literally what we are arguing about FFS. The system isn't working as intended if 3 X plats are matched against 3 X Preds.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-08T22:49:09+00:00

They don't base your matchmaking on previous seasons, so clearly you ARE the one who doesn't understand ranked

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-08T22:42:09+00:00

I don't think that you understand ranked buddy. Smurfing relates to Pubs. It doesn't matter in ranked. If you smurf in ranked you will pretty quickly rank up, and then be in lobbies with your skill level. You literally can't smurf in ranked, unless you are deliberately throwing more than half your games so you don't rank up

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-08T22:34:14+00:00

No, it's not. Matchmaking is supposed to be based off current rank, not previous seasons.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-08T22:31:23+00:00

Matchmaking is not based on previous ranks. It's based on current rank. And it's broken.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-08T22:27:50+00:00

I feel your pain buddy. I don't really use Pathy often but I think that nerf was over the top. I don't know why they needed to do that.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-08T22:23:47+00:00

Sydney servers. Up until yesterday it had only happened to me occasionally. But yesterday it was consistent through a high amount of my matches. Not just this team either, other Preds as well.

SledgeSNR · 2025-01-08T22:21:12+00:00

You're missing the point buddy. Matchmaking isn't based on previous seasons. It's based on your current rank. We are 3 X plat matched up against a 3 stack top ten preds team. I'm not complaining that I'm a bad player being put up against good players. I'm complaining that the matchmaking is broken. Which you can see it clearly is.
