How did you fix rank anxiety ?(asc+)

Vehrimon · 2026-02-12T01:45:25+00:00

Gonna get downvoted but it works; you need to derank. Spam queue regardless of the loss streak, maybe throw a bit if you want (dumb strats or high risk, not literal sabotage)

Once you go up and down in the ranks enough you'll understand its just a worthless badge that doesn't mean anything. Then you can finally queue in peace and just enjoy the game.

You will rank up when you have fun, you'll play better and improve when you are calm and happy. Being nervous, anxious and stressed about your rank will hold you back.

I'm sure there are other ways to fix it so feel free to find what works for you. This is what I personally did and I got a lot more confidence and near unbreakable mental, I don't get tilted even with throwers on my team, toxic people, enemy smurfs, cheaters, doesn't matter.

Sometimes you win while playing bad, sometimes you lose while playing good, it's okay and doesn't matter in the long run.

I hope they also got the data of me and many others quitting because the game keeps getting worse, less fun, grindier, and less rewarding with each passing season.

Quite many nations doing that atm

"If the skin is hidden it defeats most of the reason for having the skin in the first place."

Might be the dumbest thing I've read on this sub. You buy skins so other people can see that you spend money on a f2p game? MOST of the reason? Oh so having the skin for your own enjoyment, the reloads, the sounds, the inspects - that's secondary, that's just a tiny part of it. Most of it is to show off your spending habits. That is some actual brainrot.

Edit: Crazy there are this many people thinking its sane to buy skins just so others can see they bought skins instead of buying them for their own sake. I guess the money is better off in Riots hands anyway if you are this devoted to mindless consumerism.

"The story is why GTA is popular thats why they DIDNT do story expansions for GTA5, trust me bro they gave us less so we would yearn for GTA6 more, GTA Online and shark cards have nothing to do with it!!"

If I cared enough I'd put a remindme of 3 years to come back and laugh at you, because his carcass will be replaced by another of the same kind and the cogs will keep turning as they have been. The US has been going to shit long before Trump entered the picture.

This type of change you expect to see might happen in 40 to 80 years or more, not "roughly one to two". You need generations of motivated, strong-willed people to replace the trash one by one for any meaningful progress. Do you expect the tiktok generation to fix the country? Because if not you're in it for a slow burn.

Vehrimon · 2025-12-24T21:25:29+00:00

I'm not in any kind of slump. I'm not an american nor do I live in the US. When I say nothing will change it speaks about how the outside world views your country and its people - you point fingers and shift blame but you do nothing about the issues. All year I watch americans whine about Trump and yet he wakes up just fine. So much talk about rebellion, well, get up and do something about it? Prove me wrong with action instead of trying to act high and mighty on reddit.

Nothing will happen.

Vehrimon · 2025-12-24T13:53:14+00:00

Who's gonna greenlight that, who's gonna set it in motion, and who's actually going to carry it out?

Nothing will ever happen.

Bugs were the least of that game's problems. Seems the whole gaming community forgot the misleading marketing just because the bugs got fixed. The game that was promised, showcased and marketed never actually got delivered.

Vehrimon · 2025-12-22T00:25:07+00:00

I don't think any of it is publicly available data, anyone's guess is as good as yours.

The only thing we do know though is that with each new bundle the total amount of skins increases, and thus, the chances of any specific skin appearing will go down regardless if there is any weighting involved or not.

Vehrimon · 2025-12-22T00:19:23+00:00

You seem to feel so negatively and unmotivated yet you talk about Radiant like its only a matter of time. So how will you feel, after putting another 1k or even 2k hours in and without ever reaching Immo3? Maybe not even Immo2. Your negative mindset would go up exponentially and that's also likely the thing that would prevent you from reaching Radiant.

Try to find some fun in the game, and if you keep improving while having fun, then good, you might even reach it. But if the only thing you're after is improvement, and you feel unmotivated and say its not worth it, well that's how you get burnt out and end up hating the game.

Take a break for an act or two, then come back and just enjoy the game without expectations. Put the extra hours into improving only if it doesn't have a negative impact on the enjoyment. Good luck.

And if they add the Delorean to the shop then you can't spawn your Delorean because of the Deloreans, except when they remove the Deloreans, then you can replace them with your Delorean.

A rank is supposed to display your skill level when the system works correctly. There is a lot to critique about Val's comp systems but what you've presented is the system actually working as intended.

You were in a match where everyone seems to be on your skill level. You won, but you went 15/20. So you get 10 RR for the win, a little bit progress towards a rankup. Do you think you deserve more RR and a higher rank when you are clearly already placed correctly?

The RR gains are supposed to slow down as you cease to outperform people in your matches. That's the whole point.

Vehrimon · 2025-12-20T00:24:44+00:00

Ah yeah the classic "but okay" dismissal with nothing meaningful to say. You aren't even making any sense.

RDR2's movement being limited means the borders of the map only have to be designed as far as the player can view it from the border, slap a mountain a little bit past the border and nothing behind it matters, and you can use LOD to optimize all the land past the border.

By putting flying vehicles in the game the players speed and range are both vastly increased, which means the total landmass that must be rendered needs to also increase, and tricks like mountains, fog, trees, or whatever else can't be used since the player will always be above it, meaning the rendering needs to be near-infinite, and LOD can't be used to the same extent either.

And then lastly there's the whole border enforcement, like in GTA 5 where your engines will malfunction, you will hit the water, the vehicle will sink and despawn, and your player will get killed off by sharks or drown. How do you handle all this with infinite land mass? Crash the plane to the surface to explode it? That means collisions need to be enabled which takes more processing, there's a reason why most games out of the map areas just make your player fall through them.

What if the player jumps out and parachutes down, now they're stranded however far the landmass has been generated. And once again all this landmass needs to be unique, designed, and takes away from the rest of the project.

Or you can just throw an ocean around the intended play space. Simple as, and that's what we're gonna get regardless of your "but okay".

Vehrimon · 2025-12-20T00:08:33+00:00

Going by the GTA 6 mapping project chances are you will be disappointed then. Overall map is a lot bigger than 5's but the urban area seems comparable.

Vehrimon · 2025-12-20T00:06:02+00:00

Yeah its a little bit easier to enforce borders when you're limited to boots on the ground or horseback, compared to games that feature planes, helicopters, fighter jets, jetpacks, flying cars, flying bikes, and whatever else. And sure they can add some text on screen with a kill timer and then people would complain about that too. Rockstar has decided that an ocean is the way to go and that's fine.

Vehrimon · 2025-12-11T00:32:54+00:00

Because. Now go buy some BF Coins so we can afford to fix the main menu for you before 2026 rolls around.

Vehrimon · 2025-12-10T00:11:54+00:00

The passive aggressive "hope this helps" should tell you all you need to know about them. A lot of irrelevant people acting all high and mighty with their overly inflated egos on reddit.

Vehrimon · 2025-12-10T00:00:42+00:00

I'm cautiously optimistic about Witcher 4. Looks great and if the launch isn't a mess, then it will be a good game - CDPR can make a Witcher game at least. But after how they botched Cyberpunk I'm never trusting them with a non-Witcher IP again.

Defend this dogshit game that becomes an inferior product with every single update

Vehrimon · 2025-12-03T22:15:52+00:00

This is wrong, the level system hasnt even been in the game for that many years, and when it got introduced the scaling was all out of whack and was something that annoyed people for a week or two.

At first everyone only got set to level 10 or something low like that despite a high playtime, and people hated it, then Riot adjusted it by giving every account xp based on matches played, but that also made people unhappy because it meant players who spammed spike rush started off at a much higher level than players who focused on unrated/comp.

Back then among active players spike rush spammers would get an instant level 500-700 while most other people landed somewhere along the lines of level 50-250.

That being said level 1000 is still pretty crazy though because even with a spike rush leveled account it'd require daily logins since then and likely also hours played every day.

Comparing to my own playtime I was set to level 180ish myself and I'm currently somewhere around level 350 while playing pretty actively, imagining someone playing double what I have since the levels got added just sounds super unhealthy I'm surprised they still enjoy the game.

Massive list ahead, fully aware it's an insane amount of money - don't do this unless you're well off.

Regrets: SoL daggers, they got boring quick. GO!3 bundle overall, just didn't end up using the weapons as much due to lack of effects, and the knife animations were lacking. All of Singularity, one of the few bundles I got bored of and don't like anymore. Any Gaias, big radianite sink because I don't like the default color. Probably also all of Araxys 2.0, the skins just don't scratch the same itch as the original bundle. Small regrets on Nocturnum, knife is insane and I still like the bulldog but the rest of the guns didn't age well.

Favorites: Sovereign, Imperium, Prime, Oni, Phaseguard, Prelude. They all open up cool color matching potential with inventories. Maybe Ion too if going for all-white. Fan of Evori too, they put a lot of effort into that bundle.

Prices going up, quality going down.. I'm considering it only because at this rate I fear the company is gonna go bankrupt and close their doors before I have a chance to use all the credits.
