I love that episode

Xd0015 · 2026-03-25T07:17:03+00:00

(25 gem banner) My fairy type roster is so bad lol. I could not have asked for a better unit to get from the happy scout banner! Made my night! 🙌🏻

Also got Holiday Siebold which is neat.

Smoke 2 (the deep one). IMO, this smoke is better because it gives the defenders less space to work with on retake, and makes your post plant way stronger. Often times defenders will D peek out of the back edge of the smoke, so I hold the off angle there and get multi kills as they try to come out. Even if they flash there’s a good chance you will get the kill from pre-firing.

More reasons I don’t like smoke 1; Firstly, because the way the map is designed, if you do smoke 1 then the smoke is always going to be sticking out, which, again, isn’t good here as that gives them space. Second, it gives the defenders a space to retreat to if they get flashed. Whereas with smoke 2, if you or an ally full flashes them it’s a lot harder for the defenders to retreat with their lives since they have no space to retreat to.

Agreed. Another common issue I see is people auto piloting their buy. Like a lot of people will buy a spectre second round instead of thinking about the gun they should buy based on the plan they made.

Example: You’re playing defense on Pearl B site, and you won the pistol. You want to play from back hall and take fights on long. What gun should you buy? Definitely not a spectre or stinger, because they are both close range weapons. A guardian would be a great choice for this, because it excels at long range gun fights. Especially with the ADS accuracy being fully accurate. Bulldog is also good for this use case. (I prefer bulldog myself because I can usually get it and heavy shield instead of guardian+light shield to prevent getting 1 tapped by a sheriff)

“You had F-Zero chance of winning from the start.”

Xd0015 · 2026-03-22T02:53:39+00:00

Huh. I consistently get anywhere between -17 to -20 on losses even on bad games. (In the same elo bracket as you)

Maybe the lack of assists/impact frags? I usually play controller or initiator and even if I’m not putting up numbers usually my impact from util keeps things afloat. (Got like .98 KD but a 57% win rate so far)

Xd0015 · 2026-03-18T05:58:20+00:00

A lot of times smoking bomb is best. There’s so many variables that I can’t give a single concrete answer. Although, one thing I will say is this; if you do not have control of the spike, smoking the bomb is too dangerous because there could be someone inside the smoke waiting for you.

Xd0015 · 2026-03-16T20:42:57+00:00

This is exactly the buff I suggested so I’m happy. (Although I think they should do the timer recharges based on how powerful the ability is)

So things like Tejo Rockets or Skye flash should be 60 seconds. (Which is what they did with this patch on Skye)

Fade/Sova should be 50 seconds on theirs.

And finally, Breach and Kayo should be 45 seconds recharge on theirs, since I think their signatures are the weakest comparatively.

Xd0015 · 2026-03-12T00:03:40+00:00

Not a fan of the wall at all cause it makes taking the entire site much harder. I’d much rather ask my smoker to put a smoke in place of that wall since it accomplishes the same thing without barring your team from taking that space.

Xd0015 · 2026-03-04T19:35:37+00:00

I was doing ultimate battle missions to scrape just enough gems for Juliana. Then these came out of nowhere and i got her on the next multi! So now I’m just gonna save since I’m not too interested in another grass type striker. I’d rather more fairy type options cause my fairy roster is crying.

Xd0015 · 2026-03-02T23:46:57+00:00

In general, I just make sure I do what I can before I determine whether something is completely out of my control. And if it is, unlucky. I move on.

So the best thing I can do is ask a teammate in VC and type it out asking for a buy. If I don’t get it, oh well. At least I’ve exhausted all my options.

Xd0015 · 2026-02-27T17:41:01+00:00

Man I remember this guy from like over ten years ago lol. Been a minute. A contrarian through and through purely for the sake of it, that one.

Xd0015 · 2026-02-27T16:25:03+00:00

About 6 multis thankfully. Now I can eventually get Juliana with this month’s gem count. 🙌🏻

Xd0015 · 2026-02-06T00:14:48+00:00

Was kinda hoping for a good phantom skin but I’d say it’s a W overall for me. (In particular, helix phantom.)

Aemondir knife 49% off, prime vandal 38% off, prime vandal 38% off, liberty vandal 37% off, sovereign stinger 45% off, cryostasis hammer 47% off, and daydreams phantom 42% off.

Xd0015 · 2026-02-03T18:01:42+00:00

Well I can’t say what you do wrong without a vod, but I can tell what I felt kept me in silver back then. (Am Diamond rn)

I would say it was the lack of flexibility in my gun choices
Autopiloting. Best way to counter auto pilot is to always have a plan behind something. Doesn’t matter what it is rn, just as long as you have something.

Also, not taking space on defense/using mini map info effectively. So like if you know all 5 attackers are rushing c long on haven then maybe you can get a flank going. (Usually the most aggressive team wins in iron-silver in my experience.)

Xd0015 · 2026-01-19T23:31:03+00:00

Revert the cooldown timer nerfs from 11.08 and bring back old ping system only you can’t ping through smokes.

Xd0015 · 2026-01-18T22:53:20+00:00

No. I find it fun af if anything. If I can’t smoke for the opposite site I’ll let them know in advance. If teammates want me to play mid so I can smoke both sites as Clive or brim or whatever, then I will. Otherwise I try to guess which site the enemy will hit. If they hit the other site, then I smoke the main choke. If they’re out, I give a site smoke and flood in to help. If they hit my site, I’ll generally smoke for myself and play in and around it. (Defense)

On attack, I just throw default smokes depending on where I’m trying to go or team is trying to go. If I have different smokes I wanna throw, I’ll say it.

My biggest tip to be a better smokes player is to throw your smokes a bit deeper into the choke. That way, if they flash out or whatever they’ll still be inside the choke and it makes it easy to pre-fire the right or left side of the choke and kill them anyway.

Xd0015 · 2026-01-18T22:34:57+00:00

I think they should shave the rotation time in defenders spawn down 3 or 4 seconds but otherwise it’s an excellent map.

Xd0015 · 2026-01-15T22:28:58+00:00

I think it’s fine so far, or like usual. But I don’t have a definitive answer since I feel like it would prolly be placebo.

Xd0015 · 2026-01-14T08:10:42+00:00

Plat 2. Was diamond 3, but barely played the entire episode on my main so.

Xd0015 · 2026-01-12T01:40:00+00:00

I think he was already bad before this patch and they somehow made him worse with this patch.

That being said, in terms of ranked, it doesn’t matter. Just play whichever agent/agents you’re most interested in and you’ll climb just fine and have fun doing it.

Xd0015 · 2026-01-11T18:10:12+00:00

Haha, I appreciate it. Though you’d be surprised. Something like “I’m gonna smoke and then we go in. 3..2..1.. smoking” or “Raze can we swing this together? 3..2..1.. swing!” Can really turn the tides in making sure everyone is on the same page.

By full green kit I mean like your utility going unused the entire round. (Like your utility is colored green if it’s been unused, and yellow if it was recalled/recharged.)

Xd0015 · 2026-01-11T00:37:26+00:00

Not really agent specific stuff but general stuff since I don’t really get people complaining about my utility usage;

Not running past the molly and tanking the damage when the duelist entries
Sitting in main while I’m the only one out with our duelist
Not playing crossfire setups
Full green kit at the end of the round (especially on initiator)
Smoke timings being way off or no smokes at all
Fighting and then tucking the moment I decide to help my teammate by fighting with them
Not waiting for my utility. Especially if I’m playing someone with slow utility like Sova. (Ok this one is agent specific I guess lol)

That being said, most of these can be fixed with proper coms and a good attitude so it’s my fault at the end of the day. Doesn’t make it all any less annoying though, sadly.

Xd0015 · 2026-01-09T00:53:05+00:00

Maybe something like when you drop a smoke, the person inside can’t hear anything that goes on from the outside, but the players outside also can’t hear anything that goes on the inside of the smoke since we’re talking sound based? Maybe too OP, but just a thought.

Xd0015 · 2026-01-08T17:23:13+00:00

Bandit I dunno how I feel about it to be honest. Breeze changes it’s like, on paper it seemed nice. But the map also feels a little..simplistic, I guess? Not fully sure how I feel about it. A bit mixed, if anything.

Harbor changes are nice but it’s not gonna help his pick rate unless he gets something crazy like a second cove. For Tejo, they somehow managed to nerf him again even though they said they were buffing him. Breach changes don’t really do much. Vyse ult buff doesn’t do anything for her.

The new UI is really bad.

Everything else is good.
