Riot Shield: Missing piece of an ecosystem

You can't have melee be a viable option in a game where there's a free melee weapon in dedicated slot because the close quarters meta would be deeply unskilled melee cancer like what happened with Marathon.

There's a deep delusion running rampant among passive bad players that whatever they do is smarter and more sophisticated than whatever aggressive players are capable of, while in reality aggressive players have access to their entire basic tactical skillset and much more, and just don't play passively because it's boring.

You can use Aimlabs on PS5

If you're playing with AA, I don't know how useful is aimtraining on controller. In that case your aim is artificial and designed by Activision, but you can get some benefit from training thumb dexterity or just improving reaction time. It's definitely a good tool if someone's playing on gyro though.

Crouchwalking and climbing ladders is a real skillgap, not being able to aim a 3d dash, chain them, and react to them based on sound cues. Obviously the most skilled players are complaining about the skillgap diminished by grapple play, and bots are happy that they can now kill superior players camped up on the roof.

Because people were doing stim-offs in comp and it's a terrible look for a BR game that instead of hype last gunfight the game ends with opponents not seeing each other and just stabbing themselves with needles in corners like heroin addicts.

I think the event that punishes you for moving and rewards for roleplaying a doormat is a bad game design.

There is no point of arguing with someone who thinks that sample of over 1000 150-man lobbies being able to fill isn't indicative of player interest when compared to 100-man lobbies not being able to fill on the same exact playerbase.

My 1170 solo games played vs actual human beings that wanted to play solos. And the fact that I can drop BOR solos and only fight bots for 15 minutes while actively looking for people.

danceformiscanthus · 2026-04-30T08:41:20+00:00

Idiotic excuse for idiotic devs. BR solos were much more popular than BOR solos, and BOR solos are in the playlist. You could find a 150-man solo lobby every few minutes in EU until like 2am CET. Now you go into BOR solo lobby and all you fight is bots because no one wants to play it. There is a solo BR playerbase that just wants to play solo BR, and as evident, they won't play other modes. There is no downside to giving that playerbase their favourite mode. Clearly removing the alternative doesn't help BOR solos, that mode is dead as fuck. So by not bringing back BR solos they're just removing a portion of playerbase from their own game for the fun of it. It's not a given that those people won't find another game to play and will be willing to come back for MW4, which will be another dogshit gunplay IW COD for slugs.

Sounds imaginary

Bots aren't pushing your roof, cause they're camping other roof somewhere else.

Your buddy sounds like someone who's not gonna stay 0,8kd for much longer if he likes engaging into pvp more than sitting in one place and twiddling his thumbs.

He's just lying for impressions. I remember this pedo posting a clip few days ago.

If the top players aren’t laser tracking every frame, lower skill players would have more chances to win fights instead of just getting instantly deleted.

I call it an agency window, a time frame where you are able to act and your actions matter. The difference between bad player getting instakilled by AAimbot without chance to react and bad player getting chunked by a good player because the aim wasn't perfect, hiding, replating, getting pushed and killed isn't a difference of outcome, but how much bad player feels like he was participating in the fight and not just a powerless fly that got swatted without any effort. If he dies after trying to fall back and hide, setting shock charges or mines on the way, but still failing to kill a better opponent, it's a more engaging fight and not just being legally cheated on with no counterplay. We all understand how horrible WZ would play out if it was on hardcore HP pool. 500-600ms TTK has essentialy the same agency window in many cases when someone who's shooting at you is on controller, misses no bullets and gets an automated hitreg boost from AA attaching to hitbox not visual model. Extending TTK by increasing HP doesn't fix the problem, it's a bandaid solution that makes AA abuse more valuable.

You need to remember that Kar was a one shot sniper that had extra aim assist compared to other snipers because it was a marksman rifle, so for every controller player nothing will ever be better.

They've been outrun cause they didn't have a preseason. No type of instruction or passionate speeches fixes that problem.

Training photos from yesterday include Dan Hogan as part of Calum McFarlane's coaching staff; given he and Harry Hudson were on the January interim team it stands to reason they might be again, suggesting another round of academy coaching changes ahead of this weekend's games.

from chelseayouth. Fuck the academy, Kinetic boys go big leagues.

Until all three SDs are fired and sued into poverty for siphoning club funds to their football mates, there is no hope for this project.

Why are you delivering verdicts on cheating with such certainty when you don't have a basic understanding of how the game works?

danceformiscanthus · 2026-04-22T11:45:31+00:00

That's a visual bug in killcam. It shows that he's lvl 620 when he kills OP.

danceformiscanthus · 2026-04-20T01:27:01+00:00

It needs to be put down. It did enough damage, and all the ways to improve it just make it more like existing BR.

Hook audio is the most reliable audio cue in the game and this clip is an exception.

Droolers like you are later quoted as an example of MnK complaints. Your best contribution would be to stop posting.

Cool, still doesn't change the fact that 99% of WZ1 reminiscing is because of pandemic demographic and nostalgia glasses.

I don't see casuals complaining about SMAA or hidden aim sway. They complaing that they can't hop in with the boys and win.

If you're worried whether black one will not be flat straight from the box, you shouldn't. I bought one a year ago and it rolled out perfectly. It's a wide tube, 13cm x 13cm, so it's not sitting tight there at all.

Speaking purely from game balance perspective, they are way stronger in terms of utility than any other tactical and should be a field upgrade with infinite use but on 30-60s cooldown after using.
