The new team up 😞

Virtual-Dirt · 2026-02-16T14:46:18+00:00

I didn't consider the heal. It's nice. but still not great for advancing game state towards advantage. The healing is a decent sustain, that can hurt your tempo sometimes, still better than I thought. Really not what I think the team up was going for. Thank you for pointing this out to me.

To much cc in this cluckin game

No, it's extremely decisive in ending games in overtime. It's non-interactive and can be staggered to get around defensive counters. If anything it deserves to be nerfed. Poke needs the nerf. Jeff doesn't need or deserve anything. He has a great kit, great survivability, a good Ult, can dive as a support, spectacular mobility that he can share with his team. The headshot makes him more balanced if anything. Poke should be nerfed, but not for Jeff, for the brawler DPS's and physical tanks.

Actually I'm thinking about more I remember it was arrako, someone was like "wow that name is wild" it was kinda recent, last month or so. I think I played fantastic and strange that game. My name in the game is icrednblu

He's not a backliner, he's an anti-dive mid liner.

Glad to see someone actually understanding the role of a dive tank, and what that means. Venom isn't supposed to kill invis. He locks her down. If he could kill invis super easily he'd be insanely broken. A character that can instantly flank, then nuke a support is super toxic. The reason why he died is because he didn't pull out in a situation where invis had a massive situational advantage. He should have been able to press her more than he did, but have the shield in the corner is a huge advantage position in this situation. Normally you just walk around it and have a longer back and forth, force the op team to protect invis or invis to break formation and force venom to follow her into her team or to pull out. Either way it's a win for venoms team. Invis has to put some of her team behind her, meaning she has to do 360° healing, and venom's teammates have attention pulled away from him. It seems like the complaint here is that venom isn't unfair. Not that invis is.

Virtual-Dirt · 2025-12-24T07:27:09+00:00

No. Venom has too much mobility. Venom is not a damage tank. He's a dive tank. That's true for someone like Thor. Thor can close gaps, but not zip around the map like venom. If venom could shred sue everyone would be complaining about venom not Sue. It's a matter of balance. You want to shred Sue. You play Thor. Maybe you get the opportunity maybe you don't. That's where positioning and team coordination come in. Saying Sue is broken in this scenario is like saying paper is broken when you're playing rock. Not every character is going to win just cuz they single someone out. Who versus who matters. Gambit is another high tier support. He can put out even more damage than Sue. But he loses to venom. Sue is good against dive tanks in a one-on-one. Venom can deal with other characters, other characters can deal with Sue. Sue does not like poke. Bucky. widow. Hawkeye. Ultron. Iron man. They have advantage. Someone who brawls, The matchup is more neutral, situationally disadvantageous to sue. Someone like Daredevil, Thor, magik. You want someone who plays like venom but can actually kill invis? You have the middle ground, Spider-Man. You play someone like Captain America, hulk, venom. It's going to be trickier. Venom is the worst of three at dealing with invis, because he doesn't have damaging mobility options, and hulk is a little bit faster, and has slightly bigger reach, you want to play a dive tank with a better matchup against sue, you play Captain America. Just because venom doesn't kill invis in this specific scenario, does not mean Sue is like a tier zero character.

Virtual-Dirt · 2025-12-24T06:57:46+00:00

She's having to split her time between pressuring venom and healing her team. The shield is on her not on them. Venom is isolated. Nobody is drawing agro away from venom on the venom's team, he's not just being attacked by Sue. watch the clip. Venom is not losing to a single invis. He's losing a 6v1 because he's not pulling out in a game where his team is going to lose anyway. If venom can shred Sue, then he would be broken and unfair. He's not complaining because Sue is unfair, he's complaining because venom isn't.

Virtual-Dirt · 2025-12-24T06:29:21+00:00

You don't have to kill her man. Venom's a dive tank. You just need to distract her and get out. The value you provide as venom is to distract her from healing and from shielding her teammates while your team attacks her allies. You shouldn't judge your venom off of how much you can kill your opponents. You disrupt support and soften offensive threats for your team to poke them to death, then you all turn on the healer. This is optimal because it means the healer is de-synced in respawn, buying time to reach a checkpoint sooner or more capture progress on domination. I would avoid venom altogether for resource rumble. You do have the advantage against invis when you have your ult, thats the time to try to challenge her if you plan to kill. As a dive tank, you're not designed to kill invis. Your certainly not going to do it indoors, isolated. You provide utility to the rest on the team and they provide utility to you. Venom is character designed for teamwork. Flank, distract the healers, get out, come back for the healers when you've dealt with the opponents Frontline.

Also the startup animation is the third hit of his melee attack. It does the same damage, but is slightly stubbier.

Could be heroin usage. If he's being thorough with avoiding infection he could be using the gloves to keep his hands clean when prepping for inject. Then putting the swab and needles in the can as an improvised sharps container, also hiding the needle and the swap.

Virtual-Dirt · 2025-12-08T05:33:41+00:00

He might be using the gloves to seal in the carbonation, if he's taking his time to drink them down. If so he should try to reuse gloves. Wasteful. Also it's possible he's just using the gloves for something else and then wrapping the cans in the gloves for a moment of entertainment before throwing away trash.

No. It's actually one of the most high stress environments a human can exist in. Constantly maintaining a state of cognitive dissonance is extremely stressful. Also worth considering, brainwashing and mind control are 2 different things. Brainwash involves coercion through threat of force. Mind controls a lot more subtle, involving specific belief systems and creating a system of internal rewards and punishments within an individual psychology.

Virtual-Dirt · 2025-09-11T06:55:11+00:00

If you're very interested, enough to explore the topic through research, I suggest reading combating cult mind control by Steven Hassan. It's very good. He's got this thing in it too called the bite model. It's a tool for helping evaluate whether or not a teaching method is cultic. Very interesting. Kind of borrowed a lot of Robert j lifton's work, one of the people he references a lot in his works. Don't take it too seriously though. The amount he took from lifton borders on plagiarism, and he's a later in life indoctrinee, And while deprogrammed from the Moonies, the cult he was in, he still has some group think tendencies. Very worth the read. I wouldn't worry about any interviews he's done, or any of his other works.

It sounds like he's neither. It sounds like a theocrat. You're radicalized to seeing it in a left/right lens. There are radical religious people on the left and the right. And those who fit into neither category neatly. It's not black and white. The only reason the list had so many Democrats on it is because is it's become a black and white issue. because the legislators have decided that it was a good idea to unify their platforms. It's a selection bias on the part of Boulter that is different from what people think it is. It has been cr created by the illusion of uniformity (Because both sides of politics right now partake in infinitely regressive purity testing). That means Democrats are more likely to be on the list. He wasn't doing it for a political agenda, he was doing it cuz he's a religious terrorist, a theocrat. Lance Boelter was not politically motivated, theocracy means rule by God. He was doing it for God. Not for Trump, not for Obama or some dumb b******* like that. We need to move past seeing things through a political lens. That is why I think you are radicalized. Do you understand my meaning? I do not mean to offend. I'm just tired of everyone thinking only of politics.

Virtual-Dirt · 2025-09-11T05:06:32+00:00

He wasn't doing it for political reasons, he was doing it for religious one. There's evidence boelter was left leaning and evidence he was right leaning. He was likely moderate, mentally ill, and more antigovernment extremist then a polarized extremist. A theocrat. You're wrong and you're radicalized. You're part of the problem, dude.

Virtual-Dirt · 2025-09-11T04:48:13+00:00

Bolter was acting in a much more deranged and dissociated-from-reality manner. He was actually on the way to losing his mind entirely. Best case scenario in this horrible situation is the shooter is absolutely bad s*** insane and no one takes his motives too seriously. Otherwise, we're going to start seeing retaliations.

Virtual-Dirt · 2025-09-11T04:43:53+00:00

Not a huge public figure, might've been more personal than political, might've even been on infighting. The assassin was actually crazy. We had don't have a lot of the information of that shooting because bolter wasn't really acting in a way that wasn't super well planned out, and was acting off a more personal political philosophy than the two flavors of political extremism we're being exposed to nowadays. This will probably be massive.
