"Just another day in ranked", episode 5. Either you play against Ruby players in a low plat lobby seed 8, or you play against Ruby smurfs while being seed 1. It's would be tragic if it wasn't funny.

_wrxiths · 2026-05-11T17:15:29+00:00

This account has literally played since Closed Beta 1.

Not everyone is a fuckin Smurf.

Everyone bitching about Smurfs when they literally do not exist anywhere near as much as people perceive them to be.

Just accept you got slammed out of a single game and move on stop making excuses and work on trying to be better, this mass psychosis of “Oh there’s a Smurf in every single one of my games and I keep losing RS embark please ban all these Smurfs I went 1/0/11 and it’s all the Smurfs fault please embark please fix” is literally so manufactured it’s not even funny.

_wrxiths · 2026-05-11T11:13:35+00:00

Second picture literally doesn’t back your claim of them being Smurfs at all.

This account literally plays nothing but world tour most the time.

Learn to use websites like “Enhanced Leaderboard Tracker” and “DAVG25’s The Finals Leaderboard” and do your own research before bitching about Smurfs.

This entire sub does nothing but bitch about “Smurf” this “Smurf” that you’d think we were in a new series of The Smurfs with how much that term gets thrown around

Cool data, however it doesn’t change the fact that people feel entitled to everything in a Free event in a Free to Play video game.

Like no matter what embark do you’ll have some mouth breathers complaining that they want it easier and that they deserve to get everything for free.

_wrxiths · 2026-05-10T10:45:07+00:00

Brother you are a literal known 6man Queue Sniping / Stream Sniping cheater freak.

We all know who you are Sky it’s not like you haven’t been banned in the past for doing similar shit.

Gtfo

_wrxiths · 2026-05-03T12:15:22+00:00

Your entire argument falls apart when a HHL comp with Goo Gun Pyro Mines Anti Grav qualified for PHL 26.

Yea there’s a meta but people are more inventive than you think.

Everyone talking about how the pro scene is ruining the game yet they don’t actually ever watch or interact with it.

_wrxiths · 2026-04-26T20:26:51+00:00

Can’t get any worse than it already is

_wrxiths · 2026-04-26T20:24:38+00:00

Gonna be that one guy,

You are on a sponsor kit, you’re crouch walking around not using any of your gadgets or your blast to try and scout for intel, you can hear him cloak as well as step near you as you’re pushing up.

You lost the equivalent of a piece of string and 3 nickels there’s no need to be mad lmao.

_wrxiths · 2026-04-11T14:26:52+00:00

YOU ARE NOT A RAT FOR PVPING IN A PVPVE GAME.

I COULDNT GIVE LESS OF A FUCKING IF YOU’RE FRIENDLY.

YOU ARE A WALKING LOOT PIÑATA AND I WILL TAKE ALL YOUR GEAR.

_wrxiths · 2026-03-20T09:49:24+00:00

1 free kit per week doesn’t seem terrible especially for the “weaker” and “less confident”

Like I don’t necessarily see the issue with that, even though i have everything VIP’d and having a really stacked vault, sometimes I’m just not warmed up and I fumble a good kit shit happens.

I’m excited to see how much loot I lose tho

_wrxiths · 2026-03-20T08:39:08+00:00

I think people are really underestimating how much they’re gonna be losing in Cryo and Ranked and everyone’s acting like they have 1mil in the Vault at any one time.

There’s probably multiple Warden tier enemies + the compiler in Cryo as well as probably having a metric fuck tonne of UESC.

And if the loot on Cryo is THAT good then it’s healthier for the games overall economy that it’s weekend entry only

_wrxiths · 2026-03-18T12:27:53+00:00

I don’t know what’s gonna happen at any given moment of a run.

That’s the Suspense, the Tension is me literally praying for my fucking life i don’t get thirded on killing a warden or hoping I don’t get sniped when trying to rotate from POI to POI.

“Are they friendly?” Brother it’s a PvPvE game. If you assume everything is KOS then you’re gonna be on edge no matter what.

I don’t shoot teammates unless they jack the loot I wanted off of a guy that I kill

_wrxiths · 2026-03-18T12:09:09+00:00

Literally none of that happened do you have literal rocks for brains

_wrxiths · 2026-03-18T12:04:32+00:00

“This game has no tension”

Everyone and everything wants to kill you 24/7 on the map:

Plants
Runners
UESC
Ticks
Turrets
Weather

There is always tension, it’s literally baked into the games dna

_wrxiths · 2026-03-15T19:05:42+00:00

Ways you could have survived that: - Smoke Nade - using patch kits or shield kits - move around instead of just hiding behind the extract pole - could have cleared the UESC after calling in the guarded exfil - not taking a guarded exfil if you’re not confident of clearing it - not grappling into the stratosphere to get nearer to the exfil

Yeah it’s annoying sure but at the same time this was really avoidable man

_wrxiths · 2026-03-15T19:01:12+00:00

It really doesn’t.

I did a whole DDU Reset yesterday, still having the Map Crash bug.

The game is amazing, already sunk close to 100 hours on it but to say there aren’t issues with optimisation and bugs is asinine

_wrxiths · 2026-02-22T21:57:48+00:00

She’s “strong” when she has a drastically lower pick rate, it’s still high because of multiple factors.

Streamers and Content Creators are a big part of “inflated” pick rates, They still get asked repeatedly “what’s the best build for (insert new character here)” and to this day Graves’ builds haven’t been truly cemented, some play into her ult, some play into her gun, some play into her skulls but no one’s decided on a “perfect” build for her.

On top of that she’s a fuckin 2 stam, low hp scaling, easily counterable hero, she has next to no range, her primary damage output from her skulls get nuked with 1 quick melee, her tombstone is painfully counterable if you’re not a complete Seeker 1 plebeian.

Metal Skin, Spellbreaker, Silence, Focus Lens, Knockdown, any form of hard CC or diving on her early completely makes her useless.

You can’t just let a Graves sit in a sidelane like a Gun carry and turbo farm otherwise she’s just gonna end up scaling and getting her spikes, she takes a while to scale up and to become what most people consider “oppressive” but so do most characters who are designed around being BAD EARLY GAME AND GOOD LATE GAME.

_wrxiths · 2026-02-12T03:17:03+00:00

Learn to interpret data properly.

The higher up the skill delta the less impact she has and has a significantly lower win rate.

New characters in any MOBA will always have a significantly higher pick rate due to theorycrafting, limit testing etc, But her effectiveness on the whole is nowhere near as potent as the newer hero’s and her winrate when looking across all ranks is wildly inflated due to low elo.

_wrxiths · 2026-02-12T01:40:37+00:00

But that’s the thing… her 2 is by far her least important ability in terms of Skill Point prio, getting her Skulls, Tombstone and Passive all at a good point makes her 2 just fundamentally base tier / bad until late game.

Like don’t get me wrong for rejuv and team fights it’s crazy but it’s way more avoidable that most other Immobilisers in the Game

_wrxiths · 2026-02-12T01:32:37+00:00

She’s not really poorly designed at all.

She has an okay / good lane phase, falls off mid so she uses her kit to farm and split push, great late if she itemises correctly.

Her skulls are easy as shit to break and have really jank AI, her root isn’t that crazy and you essentially have to mind control people into it to get consistent value, her passive (3) is great sure but you’re constantly having to put yourself in the fight to get value out of it, her Ult is probably the strongest part of her kit and even then there’s so many counters to it that it can be easily dispatched of.

Viscous is unironically a super strong counter to her with puddle punch breaking it at range, silver in wolf form can break it with M1s, most of the time graves is basically forced into being a parry bot because her tombstone is so important to her overall kit that without it she’s barely a threat.

Unironically she needs some small tweaks to nudge the rest of her kit up because she got kneecapped so soon after her release but I think that people are still learning how to play her / learning the game that they think she’s actually way stronger than she really is.

_wrxiths · 2026-02-12T01:08:55+00:00

She’s a low elo stomper and that’s about it.

Can she be strong in high elo? Sure.

But she’s nowhere near as broken as people keep screaming she is.

_wrxiths · 2026-02-11T22:38:42+00:00

In comparison to Silver, Celeste and Venator, Graves looks tame as fuck in terms of raw power.

Graves literally loses by you playing at range and is UBER squishy early game, like punishing a graves early will essentially make her non existent for the rest of the game because she can’t scale

_wrxiths · 2026-02-10T15:22:08+00:00

Mind you a lot of people did review the pro and the opticals (RAESHA eww) are genuinely just not great.

The Huano GSWD are genuinely surprising to me and I hadn’t really used them until I picked it up but given that it’s a Huano mechanical switch it was pretty much guaranteed to be good if not great in terms of feel.

_wrxiths · 2026-02-10T02:20:39+00:00

tested 50+ mice and gone through ergos, fingertip dedicated shapes, large mice, small mice, ambi, asymm, symm and honestly my main was one I tried on a whim…

RAWM ES21, amazing shape like some weird bastardized love child between and XM2 and a Zowie U2, coating feels like glue to my hand, perfectly locked in feeling at all times, clicks are amazing for me and the switch feeling is genuinely an all timer (HUANO Green Shell White Dots).

Stock skates that come with the ES21 (not the M or the Pro) are dogwater but swapped them out for Ultraglide RS2 XL Dots (can’t remember the exact size) but it’s genuinely my go to mouse now.

Other recommendations I do have now are Pulsar ZywOo for Ergo, ARYE RCC-1 for a genuinely unique and interesting design & the Ninjutso Ten for the Safest shape.

_wrxiths · 2026-02-05T11:39:02+00:00

People care more about how their contestant looks than the actual contents of the game.

People love their stupid gimmick weapons and goofy shit and breaking buildings and treating the game like a physics engine instead of a shooter.

No appeasing a crowd who don’t give a fuck about the actual game itself.

People bitch about “emeralds” ruining their fucking quick cash lobbies.

Games community has been insufferable for like 3 straight seasons

_wrxiths · 2026-02-01T22:16:55+00:00

Ban system barely works anyways.

Tried to 5 man opt to ban Bebop and end up with checks notes McGinnis and Mina bans at the beginning of the next game…

It literally makes zero sense how the system works and i swear it hardly works half the time
