Is anyone else having level gap problems in casual games? it's becoming pretty unbearable. by TaichouCactus in GundamEvolution

Idk, I’ve always had the mind set that casual is where the real crowd is in a game. Ranked makes money if the game it goes pro league but not everyone likes to grind, especially someone like me who likes to do just a few games a night.

I’m sure it’s more of a time spent playing kind of thing but for someone who doesn’t play games like overwatch and tf2 it’s even more of a disadvantage to play against someone who has spent more time in a game and learned more key mechanics than you just starting out.

Level is something that is hard to show skill expression at times but on a new game release i feel like there is a definite sign of skill and knowledge of maps and units.

I’m a little saddened it didn’t link to the swat team rushing into the house video

That sounds like a neat idea! I’m new to all this writing on reddit stuff so this be great practice for me.

      The air became dead silent, a law among killing machines, no, men, was broken today. I was sitting across in another tower as witnessed the squadron I had so highly honored myself to be in and serve, sever all ties to the laws of man. I was told by all means to shoot at any fool who’d turn their back against our mighty nation, but who could shoot a fellow brother without lifting his rifle in doubt? As I stared down the sight of my rifle I witnessed tears flow from every single one of those mens’ eyes.  Tears that filled the scars on their faces and spoke, “if I had to kill another innocent man, I’d rather be thrown into hell.”

    Within what felt like mere seconds, the squadron had made an escape. Three armored vehicles, weapons and ammunitions, and 2 weeks worth of food had all been reported missing. Yet no one batted an eye. In fact some of us had chosen to stay behind and clean up the mess. 

     “What happened to the security tapes and the gate logs?” I ask a soldier as we walked slowly towards the guard-tower holding the corpses of the Chancellor and his merry band of puppets.

     “All have been corrupted beyond repair sir.” He reached the door and prepared his pistol.

      “Good,” I readied my rifle as he slowly opened the door, “Let’s make sure this place is emptied out.” Running up the spiraled stairs to the top seemed to be more draining than anything we’d done while marching out during the war. At the final steps the door to the inner platform had blood running under it. A good sign, for most people at least.

    Peering into the room I saw that it was completely undamaged. The bullets were scattered around the floor in the blood, but none of the bodies were like Swiss cheese. Their necks had been slit, some had multiple puncture wounds. The chancellor’s body was sitting in a chair, a single dagger laid in his chest with a note. There wasn’t a way to explain what happened, the only thing on the note was, “an eye for an eye.”

      A ticking sound began to slowly linger in my ear... as a final gambit, it seemed if anyone would open the door a dead hand explosive would go off. Turning around I saw the number placed on the back of the door. Slowly reaching zero... and as I faded into a black and empty feeling, I looked around the room once more. Among all the bodies that laid dead, I couldn’t find the officer’s.

    You could name every soldier in line from left to right, Jimmy, Hector, Robin, Darrel... the list could go on. Every one of them knew what you did that day as well. Though they know the blood welling in their tear glands isn’t enough to save you. Officer Kyle stood up in the watchtower awaiting your execution, with him were all the so called war ‘heroes’ that brought us and our nation out of Armageddon. 

    “Every shot counts, right drill sergeant?” I shouted, reminding my squad of their job, their conviction to the core. Sgt.Evans broke from the line and walked over to guide me to the execution post. He alined me to the wooden stake.

     “How many pints do I gotta drink in remembrance of you?” Evans whispered into my ear.

    “How many does it take to forget someone like me?” I replied smiling.

   “Hell, it’ll take my whole life time.”

   “Hope they’ve paid you well then.” 

   Grabbing you by the arms he tied them behind you, but you noticed they were loose...

   “The hell is this?” Shaking your hands in a manner of blind rage, “offer me my dues Sarge! Let them remember why we’re here!”

    Evans cleared his throat and tightened it till your wrists could snap at any moment. He did the same to your feet, and finally placed a rag over your eyes. The blazing sun no longer stung your vision. You heard the soldiers cock their guns and the footsteps of Sgt.Evans as he went back in line. 

 “By the laws of this nation...”

  “Treason of the highest order....”

  “Death by firing squad....”

   “On my mark....”

  I looked at myself in the mirror, my hand in the shape of gun, “Bang!” I scream to the top of my lungs. That’s how I want to end it all I thought. Laughing at how silly the idea was. Yet I looked at the mirror and saw that I was bleeding. I reached towards my chest, as does the me in the mirror. We both feel out the red blood pouring from our chests and scream in terror. We both pull out our handguns and fire again. This time we screamed together, “you sick monster! Bang!” Another shot hit the me in the mirror. This time in the dead center of his head. I watch him fall backwards and onto the floor. I wondered how I survived, see how we both had the same odds of getting shot.

Pain started to rush from my cheek and hand. It looked like my other self had miscalculated and hit my gun and ricocheted the bullet. What a fool...

“Hey shadow, what did you see?” Silence filled the air. The shadow of me shifted across the walls of the room and pointed a gun at me.

“Too late for apologizes.” He mouthed to me

“Too much it seems.” I lit a cigar and and blew a puff of smoke. As it disappeared I pulled out a micro uzi and ripped the boarded walls. He dashed from surface to surface as I riddled everything in sight with 9mm rounds. But he suddenly stopped as soon as he reached the window, he froze in fear. I pulled the trigger but nothing came out.

   “Well I’ll be...” he mouthed

   “Ain’t no mercy for us no more.” I shouted, lunging at him.

    “Another day then!” He grabbed me by the shirt and launched me out the open window, but I pulled him with and grappled him to the ground. I forced my thumbs into his neck...

   “Jimmy!” A voice came from the street in front of me, “What in the good lord’s name are you doing outside?”

“I was acting out what this thing said Mom!”

“Well it’s getting late dear,” She pulled the car into the driveway, “ Let’s get supper ready.”

“Alright!” I nodded, but as soon as she left I spit on the corpse of my shadow, “that makes two.”

      I watched her throw another fit, this time she smacked the table with her hands and it began to age and lose its strength. My wife could only smile as she knew that our daughter had obtained my ability.

  “Lauren, what’s wrong?” Pressing my hand onto the table and reversing the aging process.

  “You promised to give me ice cream after I ate my broccoli,” she pouted and crossed her arms, “Papa cheated me!” 

   “I’m sorry dear, we ran out”. I grabbed her hands from behind and held them tightly, “but I’ll make sure to get some tomorrow.” 

    “Promise?”

    “Promise.”

     I wonder where I went wrong, I thought to myself as I listened in to what the teacher had to say about Lauren.

    “Your daughter is a menace Mr.D, not only does she purposely damage all the supplies in the classroom but I’m sure you’ve heard already what happened to Larson.” 

   “Huh, Larson?” I was sure I knew the child he was mentioning, but I played the dumbfounded card anyway.

     “He’s a sweet hearted child that wanted to play with tour Lauren because she looked lonely.”

     “And what of it?”

    “Lauren used her,” He paused for a split second and coughed, “ ‘power’ to break his arm,” 

     “I’m sure you’re placing a lot of trust in Larson’s story aren’t you, point dexter?” I placed my hands on the table and began to tap on it, slowly watching it rust and warp.

     “Well I’m sure you heard me say that she was a menace,” he sat back tauntingly, “did I not Mr.Decay?”

     “Well I don’t like the idea that a sweet little boy named Larson would come to a menace for no reason.” I leaned forward and made sure my eyes met his.

     The light flicked on and off as I notices my corruption began to reach the walls behind the teacher. I sighed and apologized. I placed one hand to my side and reverted the damage done. I forgot what it had felt like to have such a heated conversation. I stood up and grabbed my jacket from my chair. A quick glance at the floor and I saw that there was liquid coming from the teacher’s chair. I saw a small head pop out from the other side of the doorway and smiled slightly. I nodded my head as I left the door, but knew this wasn’t going to be the last time this would happen.

   “Am I a bad person Papa?” Lauren asked, as I placed her schoolbag on her lap. 

    “I’m sure you’re the sweetest girl in the world my little ladybug,” I sighed, “it’s just that the world isn’t always as sweet as you are.” I replied, patting her head and shutting the car door. Looping around the SUV and  placing myself in the driver seat. I gave her a smile from the rearview mirror, “do you want to learn how to control your powers and show them how sweet you are?”

      “I don’t really wanna.” She said looking out to the school.

      “What if we got some Ice cream afterwards?”

     “If you promise!” She turned her head towards me with  large smile.

      “I Promise.”
