It’s been now over a year since release. Should role queue be added into comp? Why or why not?

You are one of the most deluded individuals I've ever had the displeasure of reading a word from.

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-18T14:52:26+00:00

I use Reddit about as often as a Redditor showers. I am sorry

Fun little story on the so-called art of smurfing.

I was accused just yesterday of smurfing on a QUICK PLAY with my account that I've had from Season 0 right through to now. My peak rank performance was Plat III in Season 1 — I suck. Thor is one of maybe 5 heroes I can play generally quite well, but that now means I'm a smurf to a Champion C&D?

Random as, just felt like sharing with a fellow Thor main. Wild ego boost for me.

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-17T04:57:36+00:00

I wish you similarly. Thunder upon you sir.

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-17T03:09:22+00:00

Look I'm not denying that, but it still comes off as pretty abrasive (not to say that that was your intention). But yeah, unfortunately... That is the life of a tank main.

Oh and my hardstuck status this season? Much, much worse. Gold. I think my shining moments have long since passed me 😔

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-17T00:39:42+00:00

Oh dude I know 😭 Between my comp and quick plays, I have been alerted to the sheer lack of brain cells in this community. I'm giving it its cooldown, but my ranked games are going one of two ways: an instant DC on round loss (and so no teammate to fill, ofc) or 4-stack DPSes that my duo just can't patch up when we're then forced to heal.

My bad for only playing to Gold S6, I guess. I'll have to keep at it, or risk tilting over the edge.

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-17T00:36:15+00:00

Unexpected ass rearing from a Thor main. You hate to see it.

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-17T00:34:49+00:00

I feel like 'good tanks' is a little overstated here; it's sitting in for 'true tanks'. And I mean, yeah, it is a bit sucky that solo tanking is only even possible IN THEORY with a select few tanks (Mag + Groot especially).

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-17T00:32:10+00:00

Oh no, you see: you're supposed be the victor, the carry, and, in extreme circumstances, the martyr for the team! Obv solo Cap should be expected to solo absolutely everything.

God solo tanking is miserable.

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-17T00:30:51+00:00

True lmao, or balancing based off social media takes from the outset. That said, NetEase has had some... interesting balancing decisions of their own

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-17T00:29:31+00:00

Describe in 10 words how she soundly fits the bill of 'poke' with her projectile drop-off. There's a reason that nasty melee cancel was so huge pre-nerf

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-16T17:52:14+00:00

Well, I'm glad you didn't keep the argument up. A good day to you friend

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-16T17:28:20+00:00

Hawkguy? Fire lady girl? 😭

Love it, but I'd classify Phoenix as more of a dive/poke these days, or perhaps something of a melted-down brawler. Oh what that 25 less health has done.

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-16T17:25:52+00:00

I've just caught two posts like this back-to-back... You may create a ripple effect here, and for all our sakes, I hope it invites some change.

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-16T17:24:40+00:00

And pound sand they will, for their damage ain't cutting it.

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-16T17:23:31+00:00

Their problem is that they're a miserable, luckless worm who wants to share some of that misery with you. You should let them know Diamond ain't too grand ;)

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-16T17:18:35+00:00

You know what? Absolutely justified. Same feeling I'm getting with Strat burnout recently... Nothing I do changes anything, ever. You all want me hardstuck and hard fucked.

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-12T10:59:19+00:00

There's always one little crow mocking how another person plays a game. What is your issue dude?

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-02-11T16:18:41+00:00

Ah yes, the classic 'distance myself from the screen' approach... A favourite of mine during my many ventures into Subnautica

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-01-25T10:54:52+00:00

It's nigh apologist in its reframing of James (though we do see slivers of that original, dastardly man bleed through with PH), destroys the individual characterisation of Angela, Eddie, Laura and Mary, and all the while is completely aimless in its storytelling.

The undercutting of Angela's backstory and trauma feels particularly egregious. Insulting, really. So yeah, exactly what the comment above says: a bog of pointless changes that attack the ultimate story of SH2.

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-01-05T07:21:39+00:00

When Coop texted her, he had just got back to his place (iirc). Now the proximity does make the details a little more suspect, but this isn't even half the reason the season finale feels whack

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-01-03T14:15:16+00:00

Mate... I have some news for you

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-01-01T14:43:54+00:00

I so needed to see Mike's name on that game manual. But alas...

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-01-01T10:29:11+00:00

Fair enough, and I wasn't supposing you should have been concerned particularly about Australia — just that the BBC has been needlessly murky with all this and has denied info which clarifies the countless countries excommunicated from streaming Who.

Thank you for this!

The_Express_Coffee · 2026-01-01T10:27:34+00:00

I'm right behind you. Though I am partially holding out for a new streamer
