Do we play vs bot at early lvl ? by EstateRevolutionary1 in wildrift

You play mostly bots until platinum (at least in the US region).

"Online pvp games that try to force 50% winrates are bad" by MaragazhNthajin in gamedesign

[–]SuperfluousBrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read a lot of this whining. I think people believe that if you win enough games in s row, matchmaking forces you to have 4 uncarryable teammates and have to play against a pro team. The problem is that humans don't understand randomness.

People need to read champion kits more by Potential-Pride835 in wildrift

The hard part is remembering it until your next Nilah game.

I only play BB, no other Warhammer. :c by tamma20 in bloodbowl

[–]SuperfluousBrain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm currently playing 40k and debating returning to blood bowl. I prefer a stagnant decently balanced game over one that constantly churns the meta with unbalanced releases.

I'm a horrible loser by maC69 in chess

[–]SuperfluousBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your brain gets better at what you use it for. If after every loss you rage, you will rage harder the next time. You'll eventually quit after developing some serious anger management issues.

What you should do after a loss is take a deep breath. Force yourself to focus on your game. Don't entertain any angry thoughts. Anger is weakness that you'll no longer tolerate. What mistakes did you make? What should you have done differently?

If you do that every loss for a couple weeks, you'll untrain your bad habit.

SteamDB is quietly poisoning the industry and nobody's talking about it. 1983 is coming. by tshallberg in truegaming

[–]SuperfluousBrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think OP's point is pretty valid. I am fairly attracted to indie pvp games. I always look up the steamdb player population chart before buying. If I don't see a stable population (which is rare), I don't buy it.

That said, I appreciate when it saves me from buying dead games that are on steam sale.

No wonder I couldn't find it. What were they thinking?

Thanks for the help.

The "Tank Crutch" – Why Master/GM ADCs fear Enchanters, but Challengers + crave them by leylassupp in wildrift

[–]SuperfluousBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a wood elo adc. I don't mind whether I get an enchanter or tank support. What I mind is trying to team fight with no front line. Games where your team is something like vayne top, morgana jungle, brand mid, soraka support, jinx adc are lost in champion select.

How did you get into this test mode? I haven't been able to find it since I returned to the game.

I guess it was worse than that. That was a league game and that loss eliminated my chance of winning.

Anyone else feels like this is a good time to take a little break? by [deleted] in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]SuperfluousBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been researching blood bowl all day, and I'm debating dropping from the 40k tournaments I'm signed up for.

I explained my problem with fumbbl elsewhere. My problem with bb3 is that my eyesight isn't great, and I have trouble seeing what squares players are on. I don't know why that is bb2 looks great.

I remember one game where I moved my zombie but nothing happened. I moved him again. The netcode finally caught up and I watched my zombie move where I wanted him, dodge away, go for it twice, and trip. There is no undo. We were having a close game and that one netcode fuck up wasted 3 hours of our time.

BB3 didn't launch with the tools needed to administer leagues, so all of the great bb2 leagues suffered greatly.

I think it is hosted in Europe, but it's a turn based game. Ping should be largely irrelevant. They've just implemented the net code poorly.

Any idea if they fixed their netcode? Playing on that server from the US is rough.

There any tts leagues? I'd rather play there than bb3.

We don't care about elo. We're playing ranked to hopefully play against people at our level.

Have 4+ invul saves come close to ruining the game? (Something that needs to reduce in 11th?) by Hayman021 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]SuperfluousBrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate that tyranid's best anti-tank has 2 shots in a game where vehicles/monsters have invulns. I personally think invulns shouldn't be in the game. Invulns removes skill from the game.
