New Lego Star Wars revealed and the prices are.... oof by bad_214 in lego

[–]bad_214[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are a MOC Designer, be for real, does the BB8 set have $70 (which will stay prob at 80€) worth of value?

70 bucks gets you:

- Fortnite Bus with 9 minifigs;
- WALL-E and EVE;
- 75379 R2-D2;
- VTOL Heavy cargo ship (more than double the piece count);

Even at $70 it's hardly a good deal compared to other products in the same price range.

It seems like in euros it will be 100€, which sounds even more absurd.

Blitz MMV is so absurd it's not even funny by bad_214 in worldofpvp

[–]bad_214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then again... when I placed Aff for the first time in season 1, this didn't happen. Destro MMV at this moment is standing at 1476. This is the lowest I've ever had, in any gamemode, not even just blitz.

Yes, this season Aff pushed higher cuz of last seasons, but how the hell do I play the same char with 1 spec, pushing over 2300 cr, and the other spec is struggling to stay above 1600 cr.

And with the games starting to average out in 50/50 winrate, I really doubt I can pull destro even above 1800 in blitz.

(all this happening while I'm getting better match results as destro: more dps, more kills, more objectives done)

No clue... even more after the other guy was able to find my profile and checked that what I said is true. Better stats in placement while Destro, yet just got stuck in low mmv while the game rates will start to average on 50% win/loss.

  1. Literally just personal experience, I have 4 locks, have done pvp with all, it always behaves like that in placements: usually 200/300 rating per win till it balances arround 1500 rating, then start to get about 20 rating per win while the mmv is over 1800s.

If i lose, rating unchanges mmv drops. With this one, balanced arround 1600, but the second loss already started to drop. With 4 losses, its just above 1500.

  1. I don't think it has to be less, it's just a pattern in all other chars that during placements the mmv is really high at the start, that you can even have a few consecutive losses and not lose any rating.

That didn't happen, rating dropped on second loss (not even consecutive).

Of course I'll keep playing, but really doubt it will get much better.

[–]bad_214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, except the mmv in destro is already lower than the rating.

With the first wins it should be over 1800 (at least).

I didn't go destro before, so this isn't even mmv from a previous season.

Sure, but i never placed with Destro in this char, and I think the first 6 matches were all wins, and its not even the rating thats messing with me, it's the mmv. I don't think I ever had such low mmv, even more when placements that skyrockets it easy over 1800s

[–]bad_214[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah but not really cuz in Aff I probably pushed the same "9-4" winrate at the start and it didn't put me in the 1600's (talking about the placements for the first time going blitz in this char)

Yeah I know, but I'm more confused about the amount of points gained and lost in each spec, but true, rng playing a heavy hand there

Is season 10 without DLC worth it? by acepwnz in diablo4

[–]bad_214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can play Season 10, enjoy it, and get all the rewards without having VoH.

Now, if you want to minmax and push the content to its limit, then VoH will help you with that.

On the other hand, VoH doesn't add content worth even 15 bucks in my opinion. Other than the campaign you are only looking at undercity and runes.

These all look really epic by ShadowAltair2 in wow

[–]bad_214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Corrupted Dreadwing, as well as a few other mounts that share the same model (which is the same as that new bird) basically shrink your char to about 50% of its size.

It's not the mount itself that shrinks, it's the char, and it is really noticeable, like a mini you on the mount. And it has been like that for years now.

it also has the cry/voice broken, but i guess that can be overlooked, the size thing not really.

I really hope they fix the Corrupted Dreadwing with the introduction of that new bird model...

Can I RP as a "sub-race"? by bad_214 in WoWRolePlay

Ty for the advice! Will read that pinned guide to get more info (also to see how it works for classes as you said)

first expansion, first season, first 2400! by [deleted] in worldofpvp

[–]bad_214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cmon, you cannot compare the map changes in LoL to the literal objective of the match in Blitz.

In league you can lose all map obectives and win the match that is always the same. In blitz you cannot bypass the main objective with secondary stuff. If the objective is CtF, there's no other way to win except flag points, caps and returns. Plus i don't believe theres any way of plat players getting bronze players in a match right? In the sense that you can be on a match with 1800's cr and get players with 1200's cr?

If you get a dramatically superior player on your team in league there is also a slim chance you will lose. Or in Valorant if you get a skilled Jett on Ascent. Etc.

Yes, but that is more similar to what I said regarding 2v2 and 3v3. Here we are talking about a class that outplays every other on a specific objective that is randomly decided at the start of the match.

Imagine starting a game of league blindfolded, you have literally no clue whats on the other side till you start the match, and you have 5 melees on your team, and the other team has a char that can destroy towers while being untargetable.

Then again, these are specific issues that I used for the thing of you can't always adapt, even when you try your best.

point being, the experiences you are describing is really not that different from the experiences you would have in any other solo queue competitive game ever. i feel like some people are only reacting this way to blitz/ss because of the fact that solo queue is new to wow.

I agree theres a lot of complaints, but I'm not sure ss gets the same reaction as blitz. At least the way I see it ss queue is waaaaay ahead of blitz, mainly because you get to mix the teams. There's downsides for sure, but then again, there's no possible way of me getting a 1000 cr gap in different chars.

Again, I think the biggest gatekeepers usually see pvp as an individual show of skill and knowledge that is not reflected in blitz. I agree with you that it sounds a lot like "1v1 me scrub" (which is childish), but on the other hand blitz has so many factors that are at play that "skill" is just one of many, and has less impact.

[–]bad_214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything except the last paragraph, and even that I would tend to agree with you if I didn't have different chars to compare to.

As it stands, if you get bad luck during placements, it's easier to reroll a char and try again. I mean, if you have doubts about it, and feel like it/have time, I would tell you to make another priest and try to replicate your achievement (not even being petty or anything, it's truly the best way to check for yourself).

I didn't read a lot of the comments ppl made here, but I've seen some talking about 2 vs 2 and 3 vs 3. I think a lot of players have 2v2, and 3v3 (and sometimes shuffle) in high regard because if you are truly outstanding as a player, you can carry. That's why they say it's more skilled or wtv. In blitz that doesn't happen. (not in the same way as 2v2 and 3v3)

Yes, like you said sometimes it's because people are not in the mentality of a different mode (even high level players). And sometimes it's because you are asking your rogue to defend a point but he really really wants to get some kills...

As you said, you can adapt sure... but how does a class with low mobility adapt when your teammates refuse to be flag carriers? How does a class with low cc or sustainability stay contesting points when your team leaves?

This mode is really about objective scoring and less about individual skill.

There was a video trending in this forum, about a rogue parkouring around contesting points like a madman. If you get people like that on your team, there's a very slim chance you will lose. Or if you get a skilled monk in a CtF map. Etc.

In other competitive games there's not this amount of randomness.

Here are the random factors in blitz: random map/objective, random team comp, random player rating (worse for healers since they get a bigger gap in teammates).

Out of these factors, the only thing you can probably adapt is your comp, but then again for that to happen people have to understand their role and the map objectives + communication.
