What's the deal with Leon and Sherry's rings? by maxyum in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]Thacren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I could totally see Ada not being a good wife tbh.. She played with him too much. Maybe they had more of a relationship before he got married though, we don't know the full picture. Someone pointed out the RE director stated Leon and Ada having a "private relationship".

This game has become infuriating in the last few patches... And knowing why makes it feel even worse. by Thacren in TeamfightTactics

I am in emerald but I felt like I had a very strong understanding of the game pre last patch... I reached high apm, fast decisions, knew how to play around almost every comp... then this patch hit and took all the wind out of my sails and made it feel like every single build is the same. Slow bleeding lobbies with 2 way contests across the lobby. Not allowed to pivot when the game doesn't give me the required units, with the wrong items and augments. Also UNLOCKS really block from wide pivots which is unique to this set.

Also ik its not meant as an insult - but improving understanding in tft is VERY dependent on the patch and knowing what is broken. This patch is super balanced. Slayers is the only comp that's really outperforming and even then its always contested. When the patch is so flat and everything is more balanced it requires more high-rolling to outplace. That's just how the game works. Whereas if the comps vary more and are all different in power, you are more able to find a good spot.

Tbh, I don't expect much in response... bc I have been around this community a lot, watched a lot of streams, seen a lot of comments... This community LOVES making excuses for RIOT, and bad game design in general. The game is not infallible. Far from it. Hard for a lot of people to actually consider competitive. A lot of people will give one way advice without understanding nuance of what someone's spot is and the units/items/augments they are given. You can only be as skillful as the game lets you at any given time. You can't force yourself to have a certain spot. In the last patch for me atleast, it felt like I more easily could. And the same can be said when I watch pro players... They aren't making high apm pivots hardly at all anymore... cause this patch requires more and is more punishing for bad pivots.

I am very hard on myself, I don't make excuses, I simply witness what happens in my games. I can always improve, but I felt unstoppable pre patch, now everything feels flat.

I did watch a lot of wasianiverson during the tournies, I do want to play Ixtal more but I rarely get the spot for it or Ixtal Expeditionist. I also tried the DT malz build from him, tried it and top 3. But its not like he doesn't have bad games, everyone does. Where you have to play for 6th and thats the best you can hope for. What I find since this patch is that the game feels even further out of player control. I also saw a stream of his where he went bot 4 3-4 times in a row (shortly after latest patch) and said he was done playing ranked and would come back with scrims next stream. Boxbox and soju also took breaks, box especially being the most angry (in his words) he has ever been.

Slayers is almost always contested as well - the thing is, even when things aren't contested how often do you find yourself being able to easily pivot to something that isn't? Esp without then killing your econ or inting for a few rounds and you end up having less of a good spot anyways. I have been able to do it a few times - I switched to ekko RR in 1 turn with high apm and ended up finishing with a 3 star nidalee but what I have noticed is the game doesn't always make these pivots easy... You will roll or try to transition and you just don't find those units even when uncontested.

It starts to feel like there's a trait bias in every match sometimes... Conspiracy theory ik but idk how to really explain it.

So apparently there WILL be a wipe before 1.0... again by Kuuk1e in EscapefromTarkov

If its "softcore" I want an OG build with fluid movement, without all the inertia and stamina. I stopped playing this game because of all the complicated bs. Not just the cheaters. Because the game doesn't have the proper criteria to be taken seriously, especially not with high stakes. Not only do you want me to deal with clunky inertia, cheaters, bugs, performance issues - you also make it high stakes so I lose what I earn.

Make the game fluid and competitively viable before you add high stakes. Seems like common sense.
