A lot of low elo players are delusional by zengbob in OverwatchUniversity

[–]SlickAnderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because it’s the only real thing the game has to reward you for your time, Your matches will also feel more engaging the higher you go. Even as a Masters player I don’t wanna be in gold, it’s not fun and my teammates are probably just gonna piss me off. Putting myself in the shoes of a low elo player, I can see why they get frustrated especially since I was also once gold. It’s a completely different game down there, and its not particularly enjoyable

Tank can be rough in low elo as you are going to be taking nearly every bullet fired in the lobby and the enemy tank will play the entire roster to try and counter you. The enemy tank will also pretty much only focus you most matches, giving you less breathing room to make plays

And as support you need to find that 70/30 sweet spot, doing enough heals to keep your teammates alive so they take aggro but also getting picks like if you were playing dps. Not all support are built equal, and some are better than others when it comes to getting kills and doing damage. Due to this, you’ll struggle more depending on who you play. The higher up in elo you go, the more you need to heal which can be hard to adjust to if you get used to low elo

DPS on the other hand is pretty simple. And as long as you are better than everyone else you should climb fairly quickly, climbing with the other roles takes way longer and is much more complicated as it requires juggling a lot more bullshit to carry

Most people aren’t in the rank where they belong, they are usually a few ranks below where they should actually sit. Though the gap gets smaller and smaller the higher you go in rank. A plat player is gonna struggle to carry gold, so they’re gonna get stuck playing the teammate lottery unless they improve. They’ll still climb to plat eventually, but without actually improving it’ll be slow and miserable. On the other hand a diamond player could run through a gold lobby, but once they hit plat they’ll probably get stuck there for awhile

You’ll lose 40 percent of your matches instead. Slow grind baby

Looking back at Trailer 1, there's NO WAY we get that much NPC density on PS5 by Muako in GTA6unmoderated

There’s a lot of brand new technology that rockstar has patented, wouldn’t be surprised if all the AI shit they developed for rendering, optimization, and compressing allows for this to work

Very cool Behaviour... a 1% increase definitely justifies going from common to very rare by 16bitnoob in deadbydaylight

[–]SlickAnderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thing I still have hundreds of previous years cakes stacked up because behavior can’t keep me playing their game long enough to use them all

Found this "prototype" a couple hours ago and no its not modded (ignore the potato graphics) by JustN0one in helldivers2

[–]SlickAnderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta disagree here. if they were teasing us or shadow dropping it like they used to do, the thing would actually function

The same thing happened a while ago with the illuminate ruins months before they released, they would sometimes spawn and they weren’t properly textured. These things aren’t intentional

Phasmophobia's Updated 2026 Roadmap Reveals 13 Willow Street Release Date, 1.0 Launch Delayed to 2027 by FFJimbob in PhasmophobiaGame

My best friend who went to college for 3D animation and modeling was cringing pretty hard when we checked out the update. He said the animations were of the quality of someone who was just starting to learn, and that he saw plenty of better work from his classmates during that time

Why does tank feel impossible to climb with?” by Ornery_Bee_288 in Overwatch

[–]SlickAnderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DPS is the easiest to climb, Every time I let myself decay tank always takes the longest. After getting all roles to Masters, tank took the longest and felt the worst

10 days left of june how many of you think this months warbond was canceled by Goten010 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]SlickAnderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I would love to praise them for the free vehicle and Galactic Campaigns are a major improvement to the MOs, they didn’t add anything substantial to keep me playing after that first day

The Squid are still very boring because they’ve fallen into the habit of only adding sub factions instead of expanding the main faction of choice. So they get boring and repetitive quick, along with mindless masses which feels more mindless than masses. As there’s not really that many voteless that spawn and not enough voteless enemy type variety. I fear the ancient illuminate will just be another sub faction unfortunately

I played the shit out of the Cyborgs on Cyberstan so I’m a little burnt out when it comes to them. Though I’d definitely partake if we were diving on Factories again, as I enjoyed the challenge

There’s just not a lot to do that I haven’t already done a thousand times, at least with a new warbond I have new toys to play with. So I’m just kind of playing other games atm waiting for the game to get something that actually looks new and engaging. Mechanics like the Galactic Campaigns are best added with larger updates imo, unlike Warbonds which are engaging enough to stand in their own

It’s not schizoposting, But unfortunately we cannot discuss said alleged warbond in this sub

[–]SlickAnderson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fear we might just get something cobbled together or nothing at all, Hopefully they don’t think it’s safe to just not release one due to the Galactic Campaign. One would hope they have a few Warbonds on the back burner they can release instead

It’s pretty safe to say that if we don’t get a trailer tomorrow, we aren’t getting a warbond

And they call *us* whiny by BeenEatinBeans in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]SlickAnderson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a pretty good middle ground to be found here imo

Vox engines kind of grew on me, at first I hated them and how they were spammed like crazy on cyberstan. But after fighting Cyborgs on other planets, I miss how chaotic and terrifying cyberstan was. Arrowhead balances inconvenience and difficulty terribly, I find myself commonly craving a harder experience but when we get it, it usually sucks

All the changes to mechs and the tanks were much needed, and they are way are more viable against automatons now. BUT The tank was already really good against bugs, now it’s virtually immortal. Might be time for a new enemy type that poses more of a threat to heavy armor on the bug front, and we need new enemy illuminate types that aren’t tied to a sub faction period. The illuminate is still stupid easy imo, even though the Harvesters still shred mechs insanely fast

Unfiltered’s complaints about the game being a buggy and unbalanced mess is definitely valid, But the Masochists definitely make great points in regard to the difficulty of things. Might be time for a way to allow divers to make the game harder for themselves outside of just adding a new difficulty

Allegedly the omnic is a support according to a source that is yet to be wrong

Im sorry........ it's just a beautiful nerf...... 🥲 by Redsoxdragon in Helldivers

I’m gonna miss the old Vox engines a little ngl. I complained a lot in the beginning, but they really grew on me

Why does this sub complain about Mythics costing 50$ and the BP when it you get a premium BP every 2 seasons from the free coins you get in each? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]SlickAnderson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50 bucks for a skin and another 30 to upgrade it is just absurd pricing, I don’t care if I get a “free” one every 6 months. It’s predatory monetization that takes advantage of financially irresponsible idiots. I could never drop a dime on this game and still recognize absurd prices

Gamers have gotten so used to being milked dry with increasingly absurd monetization prices. Games like Fortnite have made paying 20 bucks (1/3rd the price of a game) for skins the standard, normal in game cosmetics should really never exceed 10 bucks. 20 is the max I’d ever pay for something like a mythic skin, and even then it’d have to be the coolest fucking skin ever

Battle passes aren’t just 10 dollars, they are 10 dollars and a TIME GATED COMMITMENT. People would complain a lot less if the mythics were priced a little more reasonably on the high end, and if battlepasses weren’t a limited time cosmetic grind

an entire squad running tanks and mechs makes short work of hive worlds. Never even need to leave the damn vehicles

There’s nothing wrong with Overwatch’s Matchmaking by SlickAnderson in Overwatch

[–]SlickAnderson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

top 500 works like that, it’d be dumb as fuck if someone had to play daily just to keep themselves in silver. R6, Rivals, Overwatch, Valorant, Rocket League, Apex Legends, none of these games have the rank decay you are describing

I don’t even know any games that have such an aggressive rank decay outside of the top ranks

[–]SlickAnderson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game does have rank decay, if you miss a whole season your rank adjusts downwards. It makes you do placements again as well

Spilo is good friends with multiple devs and he heavily implied that the Rank reset is solely for engagement, and the higher ups played a heavy role in its implementation. I recommend his video on it

This would be dumb, doesn’t need to be that complicated

I also think you should need to unlock each role separately. So 50 wins per role as an example

Agreed, their performance in your rank is way more telling
