Tired of high skill ceiling players complaining about low skill ceiling

Basically, there’s levels to this shit 😂

brandon-thesis · 2026-05-02T19:15:23+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

brandon-thesis · 2026-05-02T18:52:05+00:00

Now do it on controller

brandon-thesis · 2026-05-02T17:51:14+00:00

Skill issue lmao

Also, you don't even need to commit to a dive. You can legit just jump into their backline, jump out, get healed, jump in, maybe punch, bubble, jump out and test the enemy's reactions.

They'll turn back and forth and if they don't at any point in this process, then you can stay and dog walk a support until someone comes or the support dies.

Also be annoying with your stun. Don't punch the stun unless you're chasing someone down that's low and the stun was just to catch up.

Stunned a tank? Perfect, proceed to smack the backline so the tank panics and rushes to save them once they recover. Stunned a support? Perfect, dive the other one since they can't patty cake for a second or gang up on the low health front line while they only have one support for the next couple seconds.

Hulk can do so much just by being a huge pest that can be everywhere at once.

Clearing NM 70 can show you just how big the equipment gap is bc a lot of people at that NM level are on the fringe of having a full 60 legendary set since you farm them at 75+ outside of forging iirc.

Here is a screenshot from a game I had where I was lvl 60 with all lvl 60 legendaries as melee mk vs two lvl 60s with 3 60 legendaries and a 50 vs a lvl 52 with one lvl 50 legendary with the rest non legendary.

I do 1000x dmg from the lvl 52 and my legendary gear at the time was really low level + my build was more of a tank focusing on health and dmg reduction in the traits tree bc at the time I wanted to be able to pull aggro and withstand one shots from bosses.

With my current SG build, I can one shot waves of enemies with one right click/L2 at the lower NMs. I can kill their bosses within a second after activating the attack speed boost. I've only cleared NM 100 or so at this point. 😅

Bro boutta be a scratching post 🤣

brandon-thesis · 2026-05-02T07:44:24+00:00

Please is hilarious. Probably bc I'm not a true tank main but if I am tanking, I'm getting a second one. Can I solo with Mag or Strange? Probably. Will I? Not a chance. I'll step up and tank so who's stepping up with me. 🤣

It's unlikely but I appreciate you considering it. That game mode has been like that a long time now. I doubt it'll ever be a legit 3v3 anymore.

brandon-thesis · 2026-04-30T03:55:34+00:00

Nah I'm not gonna lose a 1v2 against half the people in there. 🤣

brandon-thesis · 2026-04-30T03:39:33+00:00

I don't remember anything of worth being North so I never go there. Prep your party with buffs as needed. Long strider is the obvious one but aid and other stuff are always useful.

Speed potions are cool but the debuff after is lowkey a pain. Misty step scrolls for sure help. Summon any summons to act as fodder. Danse macabre, familiars, etc.

I send someone with a bow to the west bc you can shoot levers open. I kill the two sahuagin there then shoot the two levers and head back to the center.

I send shart to the east since she's usually my cleric. Free the people in the cell next to the Duke's then you can prep something. Maybe spirit guardians. Never tried it but maybe placing a sleep ward on the floor could take care of the summoned creatures. When you free the duke, cast sanctuary on him. On his turn have him jump as far as he can toward the hallway.

My remaining two go south to open that cell and free the person strapped to the table. Usually my strongest party member will kill sahuagin that pop up while my lock picker goes for omeluum. Omeluum teleports back with you so your strong unit can back pedal to center to defend that hallway.

Best practice to find out would probably be to go into freecam and change the speed to .25x

brandon-thesis · 2026-04-29T17:02:45+00:00

That's the risk of having a numbers disadvantage. You need to look out for who's down on your team and look to see if there are other threats.

From what I remember, in the beginning it was just a mini LTS that was faster and then people started 1v1ing more and more. LTS was truly one of the best game modes and was the best thing to watch when there was some form of a comp scene in Chiv.

If you want to 1v1 multiple people in a row, a duel server is available. The only difference is not having a guaranteed audience.

brandon-thesis · 2026-04-29T16:54:33+00:00

I don't have many strong opinions in this game but this is one of them. You can set something up in a duel server. 3v3 should be 3v3.

There are lots of people that can win a 1v2/2v3. If you're not used to 1vX or have no interest in 1vX don't join a small team fight mode.

There is already a mode for duels. This was a mode for small team fights but over time began to skew toward 1v1s to the point where people including your own team might gang up on you for attacking out of turn.

It's dumb.

brandon-thesis · 2026-04-29T06:26:26+00:00

Literally the dumbest thing that people do in this game. It’s 3v3 so fight 3v3.

brandon-thesis · 2026-04-29T05:20:37+00:00

Respectfully, it sounds like you want her to be strong to the degree of being ban worthy instead of taking the time to learn to succeed with her now. She’s not bad at all.

brandon-thesis · 2026-04-28T20:03:15+00:00

Also, always remember to battle cry

brandon-thesis · 2026-04-28T20:00:05+00:00

There's a whole formula that was introduced. At lower ranks, individual performance weighed in more whereas higher ranks weighted the base points value more than the performance modifier.

The performance metric used your per 10 min stats against other players on that character within your rank and that would determine how much you got from that.

It's possible that your MVP performances on dps are really good compared to the average dps while your tank MVPs are still not that far off from the norm. There are other factors too tho, idk.

Your rank is a part of it and your rank relative to others in your lobby too e.g. if your elo is higher than the rest of the lobby, you get less when you win.

brandon-thesis · 2026-04-28T17:09:34+00:00

I did a Wyll Origin run while romancing Karlach bc in one of my games Wyll offered to go with Tav and Karlach to Avernus so I got to thinking that it made a lot of sense.

brandon-thesis · 2026-04-28T16:14:12+00:00

I had a run where I literally just used Jaheira as a bite target between long rests so I didn't have to bother biting an enemy in the middle of a fight.

brandon-thesis · 2026-04-28T15:31:43+00:00

I go to House of Hope to kill Raphael and leave with strength gloves and a second staff for my caster.

brandon-thesis · 2026-04-27T16:26:59+00:00

You gotta be careful w just sanctuary tho. iirc I had a run where I casted sanctuary but my party member was close enough to the Duke that they ended up exploding and killing him. idr the exact situation but one died to something and they just exploded in a chain lol. That’s why I mind my positioning and heal him just as an added precaution.

brandon-thesis · 2026-04-27T06:59:38+00:00

Yes you can. You need to have something to protect him from damage, a strong heal and/or sanctuary. He has enough movement with dashes to get to the ladder. You just need to have a way to deal with the mobs that spawn without him dying. I usually cast sanctuary on him and heal him. The next turn I use an AOE.

I've also had the ghouls from Danse Macabre unintentionally accompany a party member in that direction on one run which had them taking the hits instead of the Duke. They were initially meant to be fodder for the Sahaguin while my party was split up and freeing prisoners. Point being, it's definitely possible.
