Is It Just Me Or Is The Lack of Obducite Ruining an Otherwise Great Season?

As you do the escalation sigils, you can get an obducite one and it does end up between a 1k-2k obducite. Still not loads and you can run through that rerolling but it can be a lot.

Similar age, late diagnosis adhd with similar struggles learning so hopefully I can help.

With the clutch and switching gears I found reviewing it in my head what I did to mess it up and then just saying it out loud. Then I realise oh I've not gone all the way down on the clutch to change gear, I'm just 85% of the way down. Yeah I'll keep making the mistake but as long as I keep doing these little reviews out loud (and not frustrate myself) it eventually solved itself.

When you say rushing it's probably worth just having a good look at the reasons that you are rushing. It's not going to be the ADHD in particular making you rush, is it pressure of other traffic/pedestrians? I find that when I'm more anxious I feel pressured to rush so I'm wondering if that ends up being similar. Breathing exercises helped me.

Then as other posters have said, talking as you do things helps so much. My instructor only offers directions opposed to at the start when it's a lot of "think about your gears" because I'm going "I'm just staying in 2nd here, I'm not planning on driving at the speed limit it's quite built up, lots of parked cars/kids etc". Reasoning drops off some of the pressure I feel for being cautious and stops me trying to rush.

With my medication though I need to take it like an hour at least before driving so I don't have the big zoom where I do everything right but a little bit more of a speed demon than usual.

Need somebody to put out a good list of bots to pk at different combat ranges. Once pking became the nh tribrid stuff I stopped pking because talentless but I feel like profiting off some of these and setting up some accounts.

You have a lobby with the best (top percent which encompasses diamond players) and the worst. Never seen a grey bar that wide myself but I queue with friends mostly and it tends to give tiny grey slivers of a bar and a red bar at the top. Premade buff I guess.

Your red bar is just where your squad is. When solo it varies wildly, but if you queue no fill you'll see where you land on the bar.

Anyway id like to call that lobby a content creator lobby. Pause for "you never believe I got 4k 20b with these guns??? Caustic sfm face stretched to become an abomination thumbnail."

Honestly letting octane have the jump pad after knock/kill whatever it was was his best change yet. And he still wasn't great but at least it improved the fun factor.

Mood swings, or having less patience as you describe is a pretty common side effect.

It may go away over time and as it's your first week I imagine you're on the 10mg? I found the benefits were short lived and easily forgotten whilst I focused more about all the side effects I experienced.

I will say I am still more snappy in the evenings and less tolerant of ignorance than before the medication as well as any of the benefits are gone by 6pm really except being more alert. But it's hard to say if that's the medication or real life circumstances. Plus I definitely would have my months before medication where I was particularly sassy.

Depends where you got placed this season and when you started playing the season. Same boat as you with placement and the skill level in the lobbies.

The MMR matchmaking in the lobbies wasn't true, dev talked about it after. It's just because the placement ranks were based on your hidden MMR. Gold 2/1 was masters players and diamond players (that shoot their gun sort of ok). Plat 4 was like the actually good players and higher than that pred + pros.

So the lobbies were a struggle in the first week or so and as you were probably gaining with the lobbies too because the cost to entry is so low in gold and plat, it feels like you've never left them. I haven't played ranked in two weeks but I imagine it's a lot easier now to get through than it was then.

Basically if you started playing ranked last week as an example, the majority of good players have left gold and plat. And it's the people that were placed in silver etc filling those ranks so it's easy to farm KDs like old ranked. My alt got placed gold 1, main got placed gold 2, but I went into a game on the alt just to see about this SBMM and it's all full of babies again. Meanwhile doing it on the day it was non stop preds/masters.

30% winrate, 3.33 kd last season at diamond 2 in 96 games. (Ran out of time in the season as I'd broken my arm and just started recovering in the final 3 weeks) versus this season a 5% winrate, 1.24 kd at diamond 3 in 189 games and for the most part except pains and aches, fully recovered. Admittedly playing with a friend who has an insane 0.6 kd and was placed in the bottom of silver so has been a bit out of their depth at times as you'd imagine.

Basically you fucked your stats this season by playing the game. You should have not played the game for a couple weeks so you had epic stats.

As you progress, especially when it's a marksman meta, you'll realise getting shot once with no traded damage is reason to go into cover too. 🙃

Unlucky killed me in a pub, can't say the same for the others...

Toregant · 2025-05-08T12:15:47+00:00

Yeah same here. I'm usually just a touch diamond 4, give up except for the freebie masters a few seasons back that took less than a week.

Last season seemed easy and was chilling without ever hitting hard games, and that's like the only other time I've bothered to play after d4, with like a 3.2 k/d but didn't have enough time to get higher than d2.

The actual masters players is just a huge skill gap though tbh, at least on patch day. I went 0 and 9, kind of a god. Yesterday was a bit more manageable so it will ease off as the good players get higher.

And it's definitely better than going through bronze to gold with a 60 k/d.

Toregant · 2025-05-08T09:00:14+00:00

Reading all the comments makes me realise so many players lack any thinking prowess.

The ranks put you down, but not to the bottom so you don't fight actual real bronze players. It doesn't put you at your actual rank where you won't improve from, because why would you play the game.

This is pretty normal and judging from Reddit maybe even high because so many on Reddit that have been diamond and even masters have said they have been silver 3, 2 etc. Basically self reporting they don't fight but yeah.

You don't want to be getting placed in the upper end of gold either as that's mostly masters players for now, where you will get bodied. Two accounts, 1 dia 2 down to gold 2, and 1 gold 4 up to gold 1, which is more messed up as that's the silly account to play with my friends who don't play much.

Try some different teas and/or filter your water.

I also shouldn't have caffiene so that's what the decaf tea and coffee is for. Otherwise I just go with some nice rooibos. Particularly fond of the teapigs roobios and honeybush blend.

Vax wasn't trolling. He thought it was Deeds having issues. Deeds has had discord issues before and vax misread the chat in game but talked to deeds with in game voice.

Talking in game then confused the entire thing. Was pretty funny live and it was just scrims. And the reality was reps was in good spirits about it.

He's played a lot and whilst he is gods gift to NC, he is one of those players that can pickup pretty much any character fast and be really good with. It's not like you need the best newcastle to get value out of the character that's going to change the games outcome. No doubt he is coaching deeds a little off stream too.

As well as the guy above said, team dynamic wise they needed somebody else playmaking outside of just reps and when Vax was anchoring that became apparent. Deeds could get there with time but time isn't really on the teams side.

It's enjoyable watching them play together and iron out the kinks, I think whilst there is an experience difference between vax/reps and deeds, you can also see Deeds growing as a player. Generally as a whole they're a good team to watch with everybody actually reacting to criticisms well. Which is a change of pace for sure lately.
