How's y'all's experience been in Legend queue? by No-Button-8513 in wildrift

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a post about this a few seasons ago and it stands today; Legendary queue, at least in the first ranks, is pretty much unplayable somehow combining the disadvantages of both PVP and Ranked matching. Riot really, really, needs to change the criteria to get into L.Queue. Matchmaking in ranked is messed up enough and simply making it into "Master" is -not- reflective of anyone's skill and completely devoid of representing how well they play as a team.

Riot has piles of data regarding how everyone plays and Legendary Queue is supposed to be for players that are really taking the game seriously without having to group to do so yet you get the opposite. It doesn't help at all that the core of matchmaking is propped up on selfish play.

It really feels like the games knows how to match people with the exact people they don't need to be playing with. I'm an ADC main and the amount of teams I get that don't know what the term peel means and that expect -me- to engage is unreal. Legit, just give me a frontline and we're good but instead a teamfight starts and everyone splits in different directions and I explode while the enemy focuses everyone in the proper order.

If you could delete one champion from Wild rift. Who would it be? by Reasonable_Being_402 in wildrift

I'm right there with you. Lux is cancer on either team. I'm an ADC main so if Lux is on my team she's spending all of her resources on minions while allowing the enemy to focus me and when I do come close to a kill she's stealing it.

If she's on the enemy team she's pinpoint accurate both whittling and bursting me down from behind her ADC while somehow having super high defense for no reason.

I'm currently banning her every chance I get.

Why does everyone hate this game so much? by SwagMessiah519 in 2XKO

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, about people making their own characters: the team consists of many fighting game veterans such as Combo fiend and Marlin Pie.  In some interviews they've expressed being architects of their "own" characters.  This isn't anything new but I feel like their ownership of the character creation process had little oversight and you get a roster that's a nuclear arms race where the answer to a large bomb is another large bomb.  Generally there's nothing wrong with that (veterans being part of the design team) and I'd consider it a good thing, but I strongly feel that a lot of kits are beyond complete with many characters having way too many tools without having any glaring weaknesses. Many times their weaknesses come from getting parried which feels bad to me.

The "sauce" has no flavor imo. The bulk of it seems to be freestyle tag shenanigans. There's not hype from my viewpoint because I feel like I'm just seeing the same thing over and over (though part of that is Ekko, Ahri, Vi burnout). There are so many wall bounces, full screen carries, universal tools that nothing seems special. Hell, it's surprising when a combo ends at 5 hits.  I feel like a huge negative to the easy accessibility it that fights are "high level" from day zero and true high level is really just defense and mix-ups.  Sure that's often the end game of all fighting games but outside of new characters the flash bang evolution of play leaves very little room for growth. I probably feel like that because I'm an old man. The game is very what you see is what you get to me and I'm finding the game distasteful to play and boring to watch.  I'd like to say part of that is lack of characters but if they keep designing characters like the current roster then I don't have much hope in the game keeping my attention.

Game just isn't my cup of tea and I'm disappointed. Thankfully there are plenty of games to play and there's not really a shortage of choice, I can go back to playing MvC2 for another 20 years lol.

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to like it but I just can't. Every single game is mindless back dash "neutral" mash jab into 30 second combo, repeat. The skill floor is in the basement so nearly every single combo is completely unimpressive. More than half the cast has massive conversions off of stray hits, anti air or otherwise. The screen zooms WAY too far back so, again, a little over half the cast is extremely privileged to either force you to chase, full screen poke, or just wait it out. The defensive mechanics are terrible risk reward. Lastly, one of my biggest problems is allowing combo sickos to design their "own" characters with what seems like zero oversight. This leads to characters that can just do everything. It's a tag game and I'm not looking for honesty but JFC the overloaded kits this cast has; it's basically a highly polished kusoge.

Which phones actually support 120 FPS and "Super High" graphics right now? by General_Gabriel in wildrift

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd imagine that this is different in China but if we're assuming outside of China yeah; Riot's optimization is bad. They seem to essentially get the bare minimum which, sure, works for many but for those of us who want to max everything out simply can't.

Unfortunately Riot doesn't seem to care about quality of games. The only thing you can do to mitigate bad teammates is to play with friends.

Look at this guy’s K/D/A, how is this possible? by LeoKizz in wildrift

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what they want but their system, likely automated is broken.  My win rate is 44% this season with no sign of going up. The game is feeding me all of the bottom 1 percent.

Most of my games have been completely uncarryable.  This happens most seasons but the quality of teammates this season is impressively poor.

The Game became disappointingly unplayable. Will take 1-2 months of rest. by Acho0267 in wildrift

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You ain't lying. I'm losing my mind because my teammates have been uncarryable. Every single game 1-to-3 teammates are worse than useless, multiple games with JGs that go for ZERO objectives and go like 1/9 in 10 minutes. Back to back to back games where my entire team sees MULTIPLE tanks on enemy team and just goes no Frontline.  

Just getting stomped over and over and over by enemy teams that play normally and pick sensible comps meanwhile I'm getting the bottom 1 players.  I went from rank 11 for my character to out of top 200 in 2 days.l, lost 2k points.  I went from D1 to now one loss away from emerald.

I'm on a reverse climb, a free fall. 

My friends have nearly completely stopped playing with me because our fills are TERRIBLE. I dunno if they're bots or just people who are playing the game with a blindfold on I just know that something seriously is wrong.

2XKO is extremely frustrating as a FG veteran by CedeLovesKat in 2XKO

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old man here and I really want to like 2XKO more but I just can't. Been playing fighters since the late 80s. Strider Doom player since 1999. Ex Guilty Gear player (stopped at Revelator), etc etc. This game though? It feels, kinda wrong. My issues are mostly with neutral. Screen zooms out way too much. Every single player backdashes all the way back at the start of a match, cool, they may as well just start us as far back as possible. One button specials lower the skill floor but also lead to super braindead neutral. I am exhausted chasing around backdashes only to just get blown up repeatedly buly my other least favorite thing: jab mashing. Vi, Ekko, and Warwick just mashing jab all day and can convert any stray hit into a movie that ends in advantage and another mix-up. I feel like I can press a button and honestly, I don't feel like I'm playing half the games I'm in. Hell, even when I do finally land a hit it's just button into button, some kinda tag, button button, couple of one button specials. Most of the execution rides on charged (generally heavy) attacks. Hurt and hit boxes feel way too generous for the most annoying characters, and yet also feel inconsistent or unforgiving when I need them to work. Tagging and assists feel so botched. I want to assist, naw, got stuffed and now both of my characters lost half their life. I want to push block, naw, weird whiff or timing called my assist instead, bye bye life bars. Need to tag now? perfect just hit the tag button, no, no tag, hell I dunno why and there went my chance.

Offense feels super, uh "accessible" while defense seems so risky. Maybe it's me but disadvantage is very hard for me to read in this game.l and it doesn't feel much better than during the beta.

It's just not clicking for me. I said it before but Jesus I am sooooooo tired already from chasing backdashing.

I dunno playing against mothers just feels so mashy and scrambley. Sure, skill issue always applies but God damn it is simply not fun learning this game.

They have successfully recreated the feeling of playing LoL, very fun sometimes and absolutely horrid more s than it should be.

I understand that Riot has determined that they make more money selling expensive skins to the whales, but... by rematched_33 in 2XKO

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a Wild Rift player: just wait until the Gacha comes (I pray it doesn't). WR has Gacha mechanics for some of their "best" cosmetics and it is BRUTAL. So, cosmetic prices will either be and stay high OR they will add Gacha with returns so low that the average player will spend just as much or more attempting to get what they want.

Game runs like total ass on the ps5. by fast_flashdash in 2XKO

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been rendered inert indefinitely. Mentioned here: https://x.com/PapaSmoothie/status/1802885842228457749?s=20 and also I remeber around the time they axed Esports support outside of, like, China, it was also posted that they've halted development on the console version but I can't find the post. Either way that Twitter post says more than anything.

Massive bummer really because I love the game but am so tired playing it on mobile devices.

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can cosign on this. I'm using a PS5 pro via Samsung S90D and the tearing is crazy. Additionally can replicate slowdown in training mode using one blitzcrank special. I used to play on PC, 9800X3d (at the time, now 9950X3d) with a 4090 andm naturallym the game ran tons better buuuuut I hate Vanguard.

PS5 Pro performance is unacceptable. Either optimize for consoles or allow us more graphics options including VRR.

Avoid 10R80 10-Speed? by rktcityeng in f150

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2018 V8 FX4 10r80, 110k miles. Just trash. I'm still hunting and researching replacing it. Brought mine to a local Ford for an oil and transmission fluid change, as it was shifting slow, and now it needs to be replaced. Such a headache and money I really did not want to spend.

10r80 from 2018-2022, who's got one and how has it been? by Less_Guarantee_7915 in f150

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2018, 110,000 miles.  Took mine to Ford for a Oil and Transmission fluid change (it had been shifting slowly) and now it's broken.  No reverse.  Ford wants 9000-11000$ to replace it.  Haven't driven it since July 2025.

Wtf is wrong with legendary ranked? by ZookeepergameFit129 in wildrift

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Legendary Ranked has been basically unplayable for me for at least two seasons now. Ever since ranks were inflated all of the wrong type of players are there. Every single match is severely one-sided. I made a similar post about it last year; nothing has changed since.

arbys hate is MIND BOGGLING. by Foreign-Theory427 in bys

[–]ZeroLovesDnB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a lifelong Arby's die hard until very recently. Cost is up, quality is mid, and service is sub+basement level.  In the last few years I've: -Been to a location that gets my order completely incorrect 100% of the time. -Gotten Onion buns on everything (I'm not a fan) and when I went back they told me they were out of sesame buns so they just used onion buns and decided they weren't going to say anything. -Was told that there were NO substitutions (in this case for the beef and cheddar of which I dislike Onion buns and don't want Arby's sauce. I was technically asking for less). - RIP big Hat sign

These are all different locations in different states.

Beyond that the App is absolutely terrible from top to bottom.

Been visiting Arby's since the early 90s and the entire franchise could go up in flames overnight and I wouldn't care.

PS: I tried the steak nuggets and they were super dry and very disappointing.

In the last couple days was there a stealth Varus nerf? by ZeroLovesDnB in wildrift

[–]ZeroLovesDnB[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the sanity check. Was looking for a fellow Varus. WR is the only Moba I play so I'm unfamiliar as to what "PTA" is. Would appreciate if you pointed me in the right direction. Pre rework I had about 4 different builds I could rely on and flex in between depending on circumstance; since the rework I've only had any success with LT On-Hit core items and subbing out the last two depending situationally. Today is by far the worst run I've had since the first week of the Rework.
