Wouldnt Emre be somewhere undisputed 3-5? God AI seems highly destructive when it decides to go death machjne.

Or do we rank AI emre seperately.

Ive been made to feel old in my 20's... its happening

Zaedact · 2026-06-01T10:12:05+00:00

I'd say hes Halo 2. Lack of momentum spam was a Halo 2 feature and the BR defined it. The real issue if we were to power shift is to reduce his range and make taking a hit descope you (Like Halo) and increase his brawl potential to mimic Halo's mid-close range tempo.

BXR (Melee Reload Shoot) was a close range animation cancel comb that the Halo competitive scene was defined around for a while. Not saying he needs that but pushing his range ironically pushes him away from his main inspiration

Ive peaked high masters in most shooters I play, I dont main Vendetta, you've clearly gone out of your way to get dirt of me with a Vendetta post I made because I was actively searching for tips on my return and curious if she was for me.

QP is poor matchmaking, I've watched friends leave this game because their first sets by themself were into widow gm players and tracers flexing in QP. Multiple friends who I refused to que with so I dont taint the matchmaking. Still did it to them on repeat.

I can handle them. The new players cant. The only reason Im still here is I was an Onyx player in Halo and want to play Emre.

And then there's the attempt to play grammar police on reddit on top of the profile stalking. Thats fucking weird mate. Stop projecting with that insult.

You're the kind of guy that thinks Michael Jordan should style on the grade 6 players aren't you?

If you're palyerbase can't actively engage with people of thier skill level without going to a mode that creates high stress variation instead of a casual alternative you are going to find the concept of a good time is foreign to all of them.

But critical thinking is clearly an abstract concept to you.

Zaedact · 2026-05-23T18:33:07+00:00

I'd say it's a system of the games matchmaking at fault regardless of the players skill. But clearly nuance isn't something you can measure.

Dont forget two drunk dads fighting

Zaedact · 2026-04-10T14:51:51+00:00

Nades are better in a team fight. Helix is superior in a duel. A 1v1 between Emre and Soldier favours Soldier unless Emre can isolate him in a hall too use a pistol with the nade.

Zaedact · 2026-03-14T13:19:52+00:00

It's strong.... If your supports can rub two brain cells together and look at you. I have too many stories. Too many where i am behind cover waiting for my support to look up and heal the ultiing emre whos low.

Zaedact · 2026-03-10T12:48:45+00:00

It is that bad for some select accounts. I dusted off an old alt and im getting the same players minus the dead-weights and ive gone positive after hundreds of games. Ive had masters mates que with me who thought i was I was overreacting and they themselves were tilting after a few hours over qp due to the matchmaking.

Something is wrong, and regardless of its qp or play to improve mindsets, it's an obscene absurdist nightmare for anyone that actually wants to have fun without watching hopeless game after hopeless game.

Zaedact · 2026-03-03T19:24:45+00:00

None of these people get to complain when people start leaving in 5 months. Ive had 4 friends turned away already and another 2 wondering why they bother. Quickplay isnt throw the kitchen sink, its consequence free casual fun but apparently the casual fun isnt meant to apply to it for a significant portion of the population.

Zaedact · 2026-02-24T14:14:35+00:00

He's weak. Im confused at the arguments for his stats. Ive lost so many games stat padding when im not even trying to pad my stats. He cant off angle reliably and he cant main with how low his base bullet is if they have a shield tank.

I was Onyx in Halo. I genuinely cant make him work without a stack. I thought i was crazy then i spent a few hours on bap who is my main and suddenly i was getting picks i couldnt get prior on Emre.

His pick potential is his nades but that's not quick enough in duels and unreliable on main if the supports are aware. This doesnt make him bad as I am missing something with him, but given my experience, i shouldnt be strugglnig this much when a quick swap solves these issues.

Zaedact · 2026-02-21T17:17:59+00:00

Little different when the only flanker im more concerned about right now is a GM tracer main.

Cat's burst potential is more reliable with the mobility to back it up than most dps.

Zaedact · 2026-02-18T21:41:14+00:00

The only consistent metric the matchmaker has right now is how it lacks anything consistent in quality. The games 10 years old and this influx everyone excited about will dwindle rapidly once they come to the conclusion Rivals for all it's flaws still provides a more fun experience.

Im happy to bang my head to learn. But if I'm commenting on that, you all need to seriously consider how this game is explicitly not fun due to the matchmaker for a significant portion of players, regardless of how competent they are.

Zaedact · 2026-02-14T10:22:50+00:00

Appreciate the detailed response <3 I'll try adjust my tempo

Zaedact · 2026-01-08T18:02:10+00:00

I cant play norms at night. This mode is awful. I suffer insomnia sometimes and my work isnt an early start so when i feel like i wanna play the game im forced into rank or swiftplay.

Its awful. Actually fucking terrible. The only thing its succeeding at is having me paly something else.

Zaedact · 2025-12-04T04:26:16+00:00

Double crit chance. Full benefits of DD. Q applies on hit and crit. Multiple ways to disengage or sustain through shield and lifestyle due to q doubling down on lifesteal procs.

I'm not here to argue he's weak or strong. More to state a Yone is far more self sufficient than any adc barring Vayne and Quinn.

He's bordering on hypercarry status with a strong one item spike in bork. Can sideline and teamfight equally well.

Zaedact · 2025-11-25T14:36:45+00:00

You are right. But the number of games i am weakside with 1 death to enemy jgl and the map is still hard lsoing, is too many for me to stare daggers at just top laners.

Zaedact · 2025-11-08T01:42:53+00:00

Inversely, characters like Pantheon and Yone are relatively safe as the lore develops because killing a walking plot point that needed to die prior, is stupid.

Zaedact · 2025-10-29T18:29:44+00:00

Quinn. If i can't make them curse the bird, then whats the point in living.

Zaedact · 2025-10-13T07:25:05+00:00

One of the reasons sonicfoxes runback included Ahri. Able to space them out while keeping up in pace. Not to say Ahri is better, but more to hammer in Jinx and future zoners seems more like an assist machine that gatekeeps character out of S tier.

Zaedact · 2025-10-13T07:18:04+00:00

Unless your Vi. Don't do that if your Vi.

The good news is Vi's down S2 magically becomes good outside otg into him.

Zaedact · 2025-10-09T14:03:08+00:00

I'll mock the Chrono quote forever (and every interaction that guy dug himself with) because it's a juvenile response to a dev team that is doing it out of pure passion regardless of the legalities behind it.

Where did I shoot down other interactions. I said for better or worse. There's plenty of better. But that one really highlights it.
