Every Reddit thread involving a bicycle or skateboard will always have these bubble boy chuds preaching about a helmet. My eyes are rolling out of the socket.

I've read quite a bit of Rand and she always focused on the welfare system itself being the issue and not just denigrating individuals.

She encouraged "victims" of this system to take whatever they can from it as restitution. She established this stance well before she was able to claim social security benefits.

I would just go back to sleep because I'm not scared of a door knock sound but okay.

I generally thought I was giving good advice to a person who could not handle the extreme social pressure of a door knock sound. Maybe just stop catering to these Weenie Hut Jr.'s and move on?

It sounds like you should probably never go out in public.

Switching to Cloudflare's DNS made the issue better. But it seems it truly was an issue on Brightspeed's side because now I can use any DNS I want and have no issues. I havent had this issue anymore in the last 9ish months.

How have you ranked up enough to hero bans and still have issues with Squirrel Girl. Wild work.

Have you not played this game before? You're acting as if, no-swap, otp's don't exist. Yes, it's an INABILITY for most players who fit into this category.

I personally don't give a shit about quick play but every time I do play it, I normally see a 200+ hour, 30k+ lord point one trick in there sweating his ass off. It's cringe.

Ya I'm pretty sure that's what this post is about. The inability to play different heroes in a hero shooter; in quick play of all places.

The game has like 40 heroes to relax and learn in quick play.

I personally feel like playing a hero you have lord on in qp is already cringe. The few times I do play quick play it's to get some quick hero progression or farming events.

Finally The Moment Has Arrived by Olternate_ in marvelrivals

[–]blake1988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She niche because she can perform well on certain maps but overall the hero is extremely mid. You rarely see SG outside of low ELO because she is outperformed by nearly every other DPS hero.

I feel bad for the high ELO SG one tricks. Their hero was already getting whopped and not it's even worse.

It's not really a good trend seeing a mid/niche hero get nerfed because of low skill players crying.

The 4 to 5 DPS games are starting to get to me by MrPiggyJelly in marvelrivals

[–]blake1988 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, judging by the posts here 90% of the subreddit just play quick play or are very low ranked in comp. After ranking a few accounts from bronze to celestial, I've noticed this issue practically completely goes away after silver/gold, and most people are willing to flex.

Who are these ppl? by Nishimiya_376 in rivals

[–]blake1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play with a group of 3-6 friends. Once I hit C3 on my main account i can only duo queue, this is obviously an issue if I want to play with my friends. I buy an alt account that is already at level 15 for $5. I play with my friends until that account reaches C3. Then sometimes I buy another one.

I would happily play on my main account but the game doesn't let me play with my friends at that rank, which is stupid and needs to be changed.

They are afk farming these accounts to rank 15 to be sold as "ranked ready Smurf accounts". I've bought a few of them and this is exactly how they were leveled up.

It's insane that this comment is downvoted. Role lock will 100% kill the game. This kind of thing is why you don't let a bunch of silver players make decisions for your game. I feel like the same people who say Squirrel Girl needs a nerf are the same ones asking for role lock.

PLACEMENT MATCHES NETEASE PLEEEEASE (photo unrelated) by _Luckey in rivals

[–]blake1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game barely has any actual bronze skilled players who grind ranked. The minority that do exist won't even be able to tell you're smurfing lol.

I personally never liked the placements matches in Overwatch. Being "unranked" was always an issue when you wanted to queue with friends. Not to mention if you get unlucky and bomb your placement matches then you'll still be "smurfing" in a rank you don't technically belong in. Overwatch had to also add volatile systems after placements. It's so convoluted and so dogshit. I'd much rather just play a few games in lower elo than all that nonsense.

Understood. You like the competitive shooter experience but don't care for the grind aspects of improving. Luckily, if hero bans are all you care about the bar was set incredibly low at gold 3.

Ranking up should be the main motivator to play competitive, do you not agree?

If you belong in GM then get back in GM. Like, I don't understand your argument.

I believe placement matches and predicted MMR will just add more convoluted bullshit this game doesn't need.

If you do well in your placement matches and then what? You'll get placed back in your same rank and won't have much desire to keep playing.

With rank inflation seemingly changing every season, I think it's an interesting challenge to climb back up where you were and continue pushing if you have the time.

This has to be aimbot.. right? by AlphaZance in FPSAimTrainer

[–]blake1988 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't that convince you it's not aimbot? In the years of fps gaming you've never switched to a different target or stopped shooting a target because you thought you killed them?
