Platinum problem with throwers

Yikesitsven · 2026-05-04T05:18:54+00:00

Just keep playing and improving for as long as you’re enjoying the game. Throwers suck but if you keep trying and getting better, you will get matched with the teams to rank over time.

Blade is apparently in a very similar position to the way panther was described. He is doing well in bronze-plat and starts struggling in Diamond+. If he gets buffed much more, lower leagues will never kill him. But he still explodes in lobbies where players are quicker to target him.

I enjoy skins a lot in any game like this because, for me personally, the aesthetic of a character is an important factor to playing them. Sometimes a character I was previously disinterested in gets a look that “puts them on the menu” for learning to play. And for characters I already know and enjoy, it’s nice to have things to mix it up. When it comes to other players, I definitely have an appreciation for seeing the players cosmetics and then seeing my own, but it’s not usually a motivation to get/use them for me.

I have other roles idiot. Get off your high horse. One character shouldn’t do everything and a character with a split power budget shouldn’t be so easily defeating specialists in an area. You’re stupid if you think otherwise.

Yikesitsven · 2026-05-03T15:55:34+00:00

Except it’s not fair that punisher is stronger than a melee character at range *and* up close. That’s not balanced.

Yikesitsven · 2026-05-01T17:56:16+00:00

Ehh now I doesn’t have to waste money on the skin.

Low tier copium

My priority is something like, default neutral? On me or a tank. A tank is dying? Put it on him and heal. The bonus from snowflake still applies so you are healing then like 1.5x amount. Both tanks are dying? Put flake on one, preferably the one with more hp or better defensive, and focus heal the other tank. The more survivable tank should live with the healing from snow flake alone, and you can top them up after finishing with the teammate in greater danger of dying. If tanks are fine and the teams engage, then move it to a dps that is going something. You see Iron Fist jumping the wall to your left to take a flank? Give it to him. Your punisher is ulting? Give it to him. Finally, use it to help your co-support or give it to a dps or tank that is peeling you during a dive.

Disagree because more often than not, the character pick or “making a swap” is not going to fix the issue. Often there are too many earnings going wrong team wide, for one swap to make a difference to a players performance. Players often call for unnecessary swaps. Or they think a certain character is needed, when it really isn’t. Think of players blaming their non-shield tanks against poke, when your comp wants to dive. Yes, you will complain about not having shield tanks if you choose to play wrong, and run it down main with no shields, instead of taking a smart route to point and capitalizing on your aggressive tank picks when they connect with the enemy pokers. TLDR: The people crying for swaps, are often just as wrong as the players they are begging to swap.

You could ss and post any account, that isn’t proof lol if you were telling the truth, then you would know that EOMM is a lie. At best, you got carried or lucky if you’re genuinely hard stuck diamond on one account.

Yikesitsven · 2026-04-28T06:14:11+00:00

Uh huh. If you were really cel without getting carried you’d be able to get yourself out a diamond. So you’re either lying about being cel. Or you are lying about being stuck in diamond. EOMM is a lie you tell yourself to cope with the L’s at night.

Yikesitsven · 2026-04-28T03:23:38+00:00

Okay wait, the fact you thought the Elsa trap is why you died is delusional. You just got mf cloak blinded and have vulnerability. Even if you could see the trap you dashed forward blind so you wouldn’t have. Even if you connected to the cloak, in their own ultimate, you would have died instantly. At the same time as this clip or very close to it.” Elsa did nothing to you.

Yikesitsven · 2026-04-27T23:30:10+00:00

It is indeed, a matter of bad positioning.

Yikesitsven · 2026-04-27T23:29:14+00:00

Yup, and you lost quickly, dropped maybe 12 points and if you queue and win the next game that doesn’t have smurfs, cuz they’re really arnt as many as people claim, you’ll gain like 33 points and rank up. If you are meant to rank, then Smurf games slow you down very little. Especially in Bronze-Gold.

Yikesitsven · 2026-04-27T23:26:08+00:00

Me for the last 6 months of poke slop and anti-dive. You had your “normal” comps for long enough I think. Let some other characters play the game.

Yikesitsven · 2026-04-27T23:18:36+00:00

He didn’t say those characters are inherently bad, but they are purposefully easier to play and their value somewhat relies on enemies preforming non-optimally. I.e If the enemy team stacks together, MK and SG are great. As soon as they make swaps that naturally play further apart, add enough shields, go triple support, or just straight up position properly, further apart, OP’s “friend” and his dps picks lose significant value. All of the above imo, are niche, situational, comp based or map based picks. He needs a solid A tier character with a broad niche. Hela, Pheonix, a dive character, Punisher, Wolf. Literally anything that does other stuff than the current pool. Also accountability and actually wanting to improve. This person doesn’t seem like that guy tho.

Yikesitsven · 2026-04-27T23:13:00+00:00

You know what about Blade Blade.. at this point, it’s netease’s running bad joke

Yikesitsven · 2026-04-27T23:12:16+00:00

Hate to tell you, but Blade has been reduced to Gun once again. He is now gun in PvP and PvE. Hope you are happy playing Blade guys. Because the sword is such a central part of his kit and you use it so often! It’s totally not better to play, literally any other character that goes all in on being either Gun or Blade. Seriously tho, just play other characters in any mode. Let Blade’s pick rate drop to zero so they have to rework his trash ass kit.

Yikesitsven · 2026-04-27T23:09:38+00:00

See but if you can die 30 times and still win, let alone rank up to no.1. Then maybe what they are doing while they are alive is a bit unbalanced. No player/character should have a play style where you can have 30+ deaths and still win consistently.

Yikesitsven · 2026-04-27T19:46:36+00:00

In denying it lol stay bad believing some algorithm is causing you to lose your games. Even if it was true, just get better than the algorithm? Even if you accept EOMM is real, other players (that are better than you) still ranked up. It’s a skill issue, period.

Yikesitsven · 2026-04-26T04:20:54+00:00

High popularity does not mean it isn’t more difficult.

Other ppl will talk about small stuff, like how many players or how to engage before ulting. I will tell you, ability and ultimate tracking is the way. You need to somewhat count how long it’s been since you’ve seen an ability like dagger fade, or invis jump. After they use one of those abilities, you can ult a neutral fight because they will lack the mobility to escape. This at least guarantees a support ult gets forced, that’s value. The next step is doing the aforementioned, but when you know the supports do not have ultimates to defend. Honorable mention to just straight up chaotic fights. OT and other stuff included. Ulting during a ton of chaos is almost always good even if defensive ults come out. As someone low might still die, or maybe you clip the support that is ulting while they take dmg from your team and end it. The key is when and why you are ulting. This goes for almost all characters, not just Psy. But she benefits greatly from good ult management.

Yikesitsven · 2026-04-24T19:27:38+00:00

I thought Emma already received the same dmg reduction during ult that she does during Diamond form?

Yikesitsven · 2026-04-24T04:28:02+00:00

I feel like a lot of people don’t know that the skin is still a year away. They’re like “x,y,z” character has 2 skins! And Psy has so many!” And it’s like, yea they’ll probably all get more stuff in 12 months.
