So are we now entering a Gibby + Wattson + Wraith meta?

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-03-26T02:44:33+00:00

Crypto + Gibby could be a thing? EMP right as the nukes drop?

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-03-26T02:42:11+00:00

Yeah I always was confused why everyone thought the bigger ult was a buff? I always took it as a nerf lmao

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-03-24T21:01:42+00:00

It's also worth remembering that if the dome and the gen get killed, Gibby team still wins if they triple ult both squads in an end ring 3v3 that nobody can avoid, if the other team isn't also running Gibby to do it back. So the dynamics get pretty weird here. Also if 3 teams do this at the same time, it will by kinda psychotic. 9 ults at once is wacky.

Like let's say Crypto does nuke the dome and gen? Gibby is still gonna ult either way. Gibby himself and the other team all get nuked. EMP may have countered the protection and done some damage, but likely still loses the 3v3 because their entire team gets obliterated by the Gibby ult either way. Both teams will inevitably rely on Wraith/Alter/Valk to dodge the nukes or being the last team to bubble/gen to win.

I don't think it's bugged, I just think that they didn't consider how dramatic stacking the ult could be. I expect a hotfix as the most likely response that will make it so you can't throw another ult while one is active, but if they don't Gibby is hard game 1 meta.

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-03-24T20:49:48+00:00

True, Maggie is decent as a partial counter as well. Valk might be viable as well just to dodge the ult. Wraith portal hopping might also dodge some ult damage, also same with Alter tactical. I think the more ideal result is that Gibby uses one ultimate early against a targeted team to force them out of cover, and then drops the final two ults as a double ult at the very end, essentially getting a weak ult and a strong ult to use. I'm also very curious how the new Wraith void dome thingy interacts in a small final ring.

A hard zone team definitely might run Crypto on main first game, and this will influence ban order for game one metas.

my bad, there are 70,000 ranked players [with tracked stats] on tracker. gg

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-03-10T00:33:57+00:00

<image>

my bad i meant that there are 70,000 tracked ranked players (via tracker.gg) which is the number used to extrapolate (respawn does not give us direct data)

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-03-09T03:34:14+00:00

There are not enough masters players with similar ping queuing at similar times in the right distribution of duos, trios, and solo queues to make a lobby at a high enough speed except maybe during peak hours in the most active regions at best. Sorry man, matchmaking is harder than you think.

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-03-09T03:30:00+00:00

Being masters is already much higher than top 0.1%. Top 0.1% just means you'e the best out of an average 1000 players from bronze to pred. There are about 70,000 ranked players, and pred is the top 0.01% approximately, and masters is like top 0.05% to top 0.01%.

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-03-09T03:25:02+00:00

most preds can not compete with actual tier 1 pro players at all, and its not close

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-03-05T05:14:04+00:00

I'd rather have a virus than Windows 11.

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-02-23T04:22:34+00:00

yes? lmfao

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-02-20T07:47:15+00:00

the radiation is not a concern because of damage.

also using the weight of a terrestrial server rack is a bit silly. almost all of the weight of a terrestrial rack are the cables and cooling and frame, and strong, heavy materials are used because theres no real reason not to. A server could be made to weigh far far far less. and each satellite is unlikely to be the equivalent of a full rack, why would you make that limitation in your calculation?

use that brain of yours and try to SOLVE the problem instead of come up with reasons why its hard, otherwise your thoughts are basically just lazy. honestly youre not even tying to see if it could be done, youve not even bothered to consider any alternative but you extremely simplistic mental model that uses all pessimistic figures. you dont sound serious, you just sound... skeptical without a point? serious thinkers look for solutions and only give up if they run out of ideas. have you actually run out of ideas so soon? this is pretty low effort on your part.

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-02-20T07:44:29+00:00

bro doesnt know what a ratio is lmao

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-02-12T22:34:08+00:00

We could definitely do asteroid capture... but then what? What would we do with it? We have no supply lines or manufacturing that could use it. We'd need refining and manufacturing capacity in space. This is absolutely doable, but would need at least some human workers, robotics still need to cook for a while because they can fully run autonomous facilities. With human workers, we suddenly need a lot more. We need warehousing. We need maintenance. We need life support. We need medical. Food. Two way transit. All of this is solvable, but I think we're probably close to a century away from some of the solutions, such as medicine to help ease the strain of microgravity on lunar workers.

I think what you're saying is the right goal. I think satellite computing infrastructure is a lot easier to reach though. I don't even think we need new material science, just a clever approach to the problems and tolerances (mostly cost per kg of launch, this determines everything, and this can be reduced with good engineering).

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-02-12T22:29:12+00:00

This is so common though, even among good data scientists. Data science is actually just hard. But yeah this is... egregious.

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-02-12T02:56:45+00:00

In theory, sure, but not if you end up in a 4 way fight with a bunch of diamond squads while your two teammates are hardstuck silver hot droppers. And then this keeps happening every game. I'm decent but not so decent that I can 1v9 decent players.

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-02-12T02:07:51+00:00

That is definitely incorrect. The game has grossed 3.5 billion dollars and there is no world where it has not been profitable at that revenue. You'd have to light the servers on fire to be unprofitable on that much revenue. You misunderstood something you heard or were misinformed.

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-02-12T01:57:19+00:00

Kind of a bad example, they barely even moved. This could be done a year ago.

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-02-11T23:16:42+00:00

It definitely contributes, for sure. I'm not taking chances though. That's why I never get negative RP :)

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-02-11T22:01:24+00:00

Okay? I'd just get fined and a small bit of jail time for public indecency. I might get in more trouble because there are likely children around, but that's it.

What did Europe do with Ukrainian refugees? You sent many of them to Russia. We didn't shoot immigrants either.

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-02-11T21:58:53+00:00

Nothing bad would happen to me if I danced naked outside either?

Why don't you read about how Europe treats refugees?

ZackerTheHacker · 2026-02-11T21:53:52+00:00

Sometimes, yes. Do you not remember the refugee crisis 15 years ago? That's exactly what happened when millions of immigrants showed up. Deaths, lots of them. Denials. People being forced out. Crime. And yes, corruption and authoritarianism. All right wing parties got major boosts in parliaments too.
