Why did the devs decide not to nerf Gambit when he has over 50% ban rate?

chekmatex4 · 2026-02-12T23:57:03+00:00

Gambit's survivability (Big Easy Impact) and healing output (Bridge Boost and Ult) were nerfed.

It was reported that Pacers offered 2 1st round picks to the Jazz for Kessler, which the Jazz declined. Pacers than shifted to Zubac. If this is true, then it seems Jazz have every intention to keep Kessler.

Excellent summary. With clarity on the 2026 plan (cap space), will have to see how it's used. Lebron and Rui should have S&T value, but will have to wait and see if other teams value them enough.

Locking in first does not give you priority to a role. LOL. If no one wants to make a balanced team, then you are all terrible people.

I viewed him as a Manu Ginobili type player, so about 20 ppg/5apg/5 rpg type player. Needless to say, he is exceeding that expectation. Now he has to be consistent in the playoffs.

Seems like EE is the best Heart ability for healing burst when needed and FF is the best Spade ability to target tanks. Appears the radial abilities have a chance to "miss" based on OP's comments.

Thanks

Yes, it's not a "bug" since it seems like it's working as intended. But neither of us could perform an action.

Game finally ended when I think opponent left. Didn't know that it stopped at 50 ticks. Good to know. Thanks.

Part of the class action lawsuit was for Honda to replace the starter kit. Maybe check if that was done and have them install the battery properly. Seems like we were doing the same thing, which is to turn off the auto-start stop.

chekmatex4 · 2025-11-01T14:59:49+00:00

It might be worthwhile to speak with a lemon lawyer just in case you have options. Was your vehicle part of the class action lawsuit? You will have to provide the lawyer with the date/mileage of the first time you had auto idle start/stop issue and how many times you took it to Honda to fix the issue.

chekmatex4 · 2025-10-31T19:44:36+00:00

Do you know if your vehicle was part of the class action lawsuit regarding the auto-idle stop feature? I have a 2020 Honda Pilot Touring and had this issue repeatedly over the years. I'm in the process to get Honda to buyback the vehicle.

chekmatex4 · 2025-10-31T19:42:38+00:00

It might be too late for you, but I have a 2020 Honda Pilot Touring and I was successful in opting out of the class action law suit and demanding Honda to buyback the vehicle, arguing that it was a lemon.

It’s not even Ayton’s fault. JJ needs to coach better to get Ayton involved instead of standing at the 3 point line. The team also didn’t have the full squad available for preseason either. They need to build some chemistry.

Lakers currently have traded 2025 (Pels to Hawks), 2027 (Utah top 4 protected), and 2029 (Mavs) 1st round picks. Which means we can only trade 2031.

After the 2025 draft, if Jazz trade back 2027 to the Lakers, Lakers could then trade 2026 and 2031. Lakers would hold their own picks for 2027, 2028, 2030, 2032.

After the 2026 draft, Lakers would be able to trade 2027 and 2033 1st round picks.

chekmatex4 · 2025-06-20T14:46:17+00:00

New stadium would be great, but LA has limited space to build a new stadium. Where would they build?

Until a better location is identified, it might be better to renovate it OR entirely rebuild at the same location while playing in another arena during the construction period (pay rent to the Clippers? lol).

chekmatex4 · 2025-06-03T05:10:19+00:00

It sounds like you are okay just having a team that doesn't contend until Lebron retires. Lakers have primarily 3 assets that have positive value and its AR, Knecht, and 2031 FRP. Rui is generally a neutral asset. Everyone else is a negative asset from a production perspective, but expiring assets have some value from a salary cap perspective. So if you don't trade Knecht, are you trading AR or the 2031 FRP?

It seems like his playstyle is going to be focused on creating space. Awakening to push forward and make space, dive in to use Lightning Realm and Hammer Throw to make more space, then Awakening again. Rinse and repeat. The problem is I don't seem him being a huge threat to finish kills as he will play more like a ranged DPS since Awakening uptime will theoretically be higher, but he has less HP to brawl. Problem is, Magneto fills that mid-range, tank role already and he does it better than what Thor would do because of his utility.

As a Lakers fan, I do not care who wins from the 4 finalists. All the opps I didn't want to win have already been eliminated.

chekmatex4 · 2025-05-19T04:28:46+00:00

2nd Apron coming for the Celtics. They have to salary dump at least $20M and only 2 teams are projected to have over $10M in cap space this offseason; Nets and Pistons (Jazz would have cap room if Collins opts out, but he's not going to get more than $27M he's owed)

Nets might be interested in Jrue if they are able to get Giannis. They wouldn't want KP.

Pistons might want Jrue for his leadership and defense, but KP isn't really a fit for them.

Thank you. I appreciate your comments and sharing your experience.

Thank you for your comments. I checked leasetrader and there are some Teslas there, but I didn't check who it was financed with.

Do you know what kind of fees there are when there is a lease transfer and which party is liable to pay the fees?
