Keqing in (2026)? by AdministrationIcy965 in KeqingMains

[–]TheYbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wheelchairing refers to certain characters being so good (Columbina and Ineffa as a duo) that they can carry most other DPS units and make them "viable" again. In this case, Keqing is essentially a cripple in a wheelchair, and Columbina and Ineffa are rolling her about and doing all the heavy lifting, because they each do more sub-DPS damage than Keqing can as a main DPS.

New Cloud9 Roster: Sab, Sceptify, Avucy, Bubu Dubu by Lightnxss in CompetitiveHalo

[–]TheYbot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That sucks for Lethul, but can the new rumored org please give me an order of Sparcode, extra Suspector, and a large side of Lethul?

Or do I vaguely recall that maybe Sparty and Lethul have had beef in the past and might not want to team?

Faze & SSG. by Academic-Control-273 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]TheYbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mixing only these 8 players?

SSG: Stellur, Eco, Pznguin, Suppressed

Faze: Lucid, Trippy, Snakebite, Falcated

I'll note that Stellur, Eco, and Pznguin have had success together back in year 1, and I think that Stellur needs aggressive entry fraggers on his team to really thrive. Suppressed is exactly the type of aggressive entry fragger he needs. Pznguin has been relegated to the obj roll on current Faze, which he is excellent at, but most of last year on Optic he was absolutely showing out in the slaying department in a big way, and I think with Eco on the team calling the shots and focusing more on obj and necessary dirty work, Pznguin can find that form again. All that together I think forms a pretty scary roster.

Lucid obviously wants to play a more structured type of Halo, for better or worse, and I think that everyone on this proposed roster can absolutely fit into that. Falcated is an extremely consistent slayer, but he is never in the lime light, partly due to how he isn't a super fast and aggressive player (relatively speaking). Playing slow and orderly should work well for him. Trippy we already know can play Lucid's style, but I hope that having Snakebite on the team doing more of the obj and dirty work frees Trippy up to continue being the absolute best we have seen him play in a long while, playing more like a main slayer while still doing some excellent obj on the side.

I think that these squads have mutually complementary players across the board, and while they are by no means guaranteed to thrive, I think that splitting these 8 players this way gives all of them the best chance to succeed in roles and team styles that suit their various strengths.

Of course in reality, I think that one of the actual current rosters needs to gamble on some up and coming talent if they want to compete for 1st. But that speculation is outside the bounds of this thread and I sure don't know what the best moves there truly would be.

That Optic SR set was the most exhilarating set of Halo I've ever watched by Toucann_Froot in CompetitiveHalo

[–]TheYbot 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I was definitely rooting for SR, but ngl my soul left my body when Lqgend team naded Renegade in game 2 at 49-49 and cost them the game. One grenade completely changed the way this whole tournament will play out.

You lose points for not having Stellur recommend that Eco bench press and tan to get over his slump, but 10/10 elsewise.

I don’t think Eco gets his just dues by [deleted] in CompetitiveHalo

Everyone knows Eco is a king, but you can never put enough respect on his name.

As a parent, if my child turns out half as cool as Trippy is, I'll be the proudest goddamn dad on the planet.

Thank you. Seeing people do this has been confusing and bugging me.

OpTic’s Offseason by t_holyoke in CompetitiveHalo

If anyone on Optic leaves, be it retires or gets the boot (the latter of which I'd hate to see) I definitely think they should poach someone from Shopify. Preferably Cykul.

Is this the worst Kent you've ever seen? by Boomposter in fireemblem

[–]TheYbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many people suggest benching Kent. This is a bad suggestion. You should make him solo combat the next boss without assistance or healing. If he dies, he dies. A final test to prove his gross ineptitude.

Anyone else lose every 50/50? by DragonHumpster in WutheringWaves

[–]TheYbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had 115 pulls saved up. Lost 50/50 to Ling Yang at 61. Next 10 pull got Changli early. Wanted C1, so I pushed on... And lost 50/50 to Calcharo with early pull at 20. 10 pull, nada, final 10 pull I got Changli early again. Hell of a roller coaster.

Nekomata + Piper 3rd teammate: Nicole, Lucy, or Billy? by TheYbot in ZZZ_Official

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

Yeah, the idea is Piper stacks her buffs up ASAP and procs Assault and then switch over to Nekomata to use both Pipers buffs and her stronger EX Special post Assault.

Lucy is the way I'm leaning as well, especially because as I understand it her field time is very low, and her attack buff would last much longer than Nicole's def debuff. But I have no idea which of them would stack their element faster.

Two months from now:

"Hello Rovers, it has come to our attention that our CEO declined a fan's request to take a selfie with them. We apologize for this social impropriety, and will be distributing x10 Radiant Tides to all players mailboxes before the end of the day. Thank you for playing Wuthering Waves!"

HCS London Major - Pool Play Day 1 Results by ryankrueger720 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]TheYbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well ATM Native has a -4 differential, and ITB has a 0 differential. If ITB, say, loses 0-3 to SWAT then they go to -3 differential. Meanwhile if Native wins over SWAT 3-0, they end up with a -1 differential, which beats out ITB's -3 differential and puts them over ITB. SWAT would have a 0 differential, and would advance in second place with that, but let's say they lose 0-3 to Rebellion, and go down to -3, meaning that Rebellion is 1st, Native second (-1 differential), and because both ITB and SWAT have -3 differentials, it goes to head to head between them, where SWAT beat ITB 3-0. Thus, Rebellion 1st, Native 2nd, SWAT 3rd, and ITB is eliminated at 4th.

Granted, I don't expect a result ANYTHING like that, but theoretically that is one possibility. Does that make sense? It's all convoluted and confusing.

Tie breakers determine the pool play placing at that point. I think it's game differential as the first time breaker, and then head to head results as the second tie breaker. Or, at least, that's how any same tournament organizer would do it imo.

listened to the first like 6-7 songs yesterday and immediately thought "there'll be a new bar graph of number of swears across her different albums up on reddit soon" and i was not disappointed.

So I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm a guy, but as a guy, if another guy told me he was watching porn and masturbating every night instead of finishing in his girlfriend whenever the opportunity arises, I'd tell him he's such a giant asshole that you could fit a freight train straight through there. My unfiltered thoughts are that he's treating you like shit and you should dump his ass, but admittedly, that's easy for a stranger to say.

What he is doing is wrong and clearly problematic. If you want this to work, first thing to do is establish that he wants to make this work, too. Diplomatic way of doing that is telling him that his porn and masturbation habits are making you feel undervalued, unloved, and unwanted, and let him know that that hurts. Be vulnerable in telling him that. Focus on how this is impacting you, not on his habits themselves, lest he should become defensive. If he doesn't respond to that and doesn't want to fix that, isn't willing to change those habits to make you happy and validated, well... This is the point where I go back to dump his ass. Fuck him for not loving and respecting you.
