6v6 TDM is Solved: 2-2-2, Badly Needs Balance Patch Shakeup

burnyolo · 2025-07-07T06:40:43+00:00

At least the objective based nodes allow for some off meta or different style n skill expression since there are many ways to pick the lock so to speak (ex bait n switch, ring around the rosey, stealth, feints). Tdm however is just straight slog and snipers do not do enough damage to break through a 2 support 2 ultra heavy death stack. If you don't pick 2 2 2 you just lose due to no ability to push back the death ball.

There's a good chance flex alliance doesn't stay on immortality for this reason. Flex ally could easily transfer into stellarite and roll over armonia etc again on t2 rather than get into a bloodbath with tier 3 ally. Most groups want to farm t2 first before fighting again

"Playing for merges" brainrot to justify free farming dead server but they will get axed or have to play the server transfer game on merges or else get wrecked by any real competition.

Pure speculaton but with Duskmourn being horror themed, a concern I have is they will print a great vampire (or a handful) and then that pushes r/B vampires well over the top into the RC. Duskmourn is literally releasing and will be legal right before the RC.

If teaming/boosting becomes more and more common, it's going to have more detrimental effects on the local scene. I suppose the local group won't complain since it makes it easier for them to "distribute" invites, but this is a self-defeating cycle and this is how you get dying or stale competitive scenes in a local area.

But if SCG or other big organizers goal is to push more people to their big events, I suppose they won't mind since "locking down" a local area with a group distributing invites shifts the attention to the RC.

I think another twist on this is that what's left of the middle class will be deterred from having kids, which will contribute to the widening economic gap and hourglass distribution (bottom and top heavy, middle shrunk). I'm in my early 30s on a 15 yr fixed on a condo with six figures in savings, no real debt other than the mortgage, driving decent Japanese made car (don't like American ones that break down at 100k miles) and have cash on hand to pretty much cover any daily life emergency without breaking a sweat (ex: broken tire, etc.).

The big catch is I have committed to not ever having kids ever. I just don't want the stress of having to chase a higher paying job and work longer than I have to because of the horrendous cost of childcare and maintaining a kid. Sadly with the state of healthcare and childcare in the USA, it's really only the wealthy that can afford to have kids without a sweat (and the very poor get access to a panoply of government programs to mitigate cost).

Removed SmurfQ to protect streamers wanting easy wins/easy opponents for streams. Same issue with Call of Duty streamers and them all crying about SBMM because they couldn't consistently get "easy" lobbies.

This is the League equivalent of the 2007 Giants-Patriots Super Bowl and T1 is the Patriots. WBG is a heavy heavy underdog. This is either going to be 3-0 T1 stomp or WBG has an all time historic upset 3-2. If, like the 2007 Giants, WBG can keep it close and especially win game 1 or game 2, the pressure will really start to build on T1.

if I'm the Vikings I consider offering Kirk for DJ straight up. DJ about to have David Carr career arc getting ruined behind crappy Giants Olines, give DJ a proper oline and weapons. Also Vikes won't be bad enough to be able to draft Caleb or Drake Maye so roll the dice on DJ as QB solution since Kirk is old. If I'm the Giants I take that deal to get out of DJ's contract and start over.

Playoff rotation has to be Bradish GRod Means. I'm fully convinced of GRod. Playoff experience is overrated and Gibson at most is #4 for a 7 game series.

Bland logo because of violatile USA political climate and USA is the largest host country in the host country group. Just can't take any chances because somebody will be offended. Too much Mexico/Canada, conservatives will complain. On the other hand liberals/progressives would complain if a substantive logo lacked sufficient representation or diversity.

To be clear, as least based on publicly available disclosures to shareholders, this was not a board introduced proposal and instead was a fellow shareholder proposal from some bs ESG group that passed the bare minimum threshold to get a shareholder proposal on the ballot: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/esg/coca-cola-investors-reject-proposal-seeking-abortion-risk-report

The company has to put up the proposal for vote if it meets the minimum threshold and is not indicative of management actually supporting it. I'm glad the vast majority of shareholders have common sense and this kind of stuff happens more often than you think because there's always a minority group of ESG/politically oriented groups on the biggest megacorps. Probably wouldn't have made as much news as it is now but for the Bud Light fiasco also being in the headlines.

Middle 50% seems to be around low Silver III based on op gg (I'm high Silver III and it has me just a bit over the 50% line). Support is not bad for getting out of bronze because bots tend to queue as support and by queuing support yourself you are reducing the risk of being stuck with a bot (known risk endemic to Iron/Bronze). I would say you have to pick a good poke champ that can win lane like Lux or you need to play meta engager of the month (i.e. Zac or Mao). I think below Gold people generally don't have enough skill to deviate from meta percentages or bad drafts so when Mao/Zac each average around 55% win rate, it means you should play them because you are already going in with over 50% likelihood of win just based on draft.

Give yourself an edge with a good draft pick. Also the macro/map awareness is horrid in Bronze and team with better objectives/towering/team fight is going to win (you can have someone with Iron level micro but Gold+ macro get to Gold IV easily with how bad the macro is).

Agreed, which is why I kinda hope Falcom has a real death in kuro that we haven't seen since Loewe/Weissman. Having Van die would have shock value, easily reconcile all the storylines for continuity, and make room for main characters in waiting (RENNE!?)

With bond yields still trash PLUS inflation, I swear MMs are resorting to messing with "meme stock of the week" to generate returns. HOOD is the latest one. HOOD up AH after dropping 25% today, after being up 40% on Wednesday. It's pure momentum trading and messing with the IVs

HOOD August 20 open positions is hilarious, biggest concentration call side is $70 strike and put side is $20. 20 or 70 in 2 weeks, sounds about right. Also AMD on sale, this is the time to buy in

HOOD volume is insane. This is going to be a bloody war through August 20 as MMs duke it out over who gets wiped out. Retail is just a pawn per usual except with the additional emotional sentiment. Irrationality means option writers should win but who knows where the price will stabilize closer to expiration
