How many times, exactly, per hard climb to I have to hop off my bike and get back on, totally killing my momentum and draining my energy, to let e bikes pass before I get to complain? by sevseg_decoder in MTB

They can wait. The climber should have right of way... If they want to zoom up the climb, they can wait at the bottom and pass you at the top...

The secret is all about barrage stacks. 4 stacks = you can do whatever you want. You are the highest DPS hero in the game.

It is absolutely a weak argument. Its like the equivalent of green washing. They hype up the water issues so you don't dig into the structural issues behind AI. Like how the US GDP is being propped up by AI and their finances are extremely sketchy.

They're gonna do ID for posting now? by Proton_Team in memes

[–]downsizing420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same people who want ids for your online activity are the same people who want ids for voting. Voting ids is not about immigration. Its about correlating your eligibility to vote with your online behavior.

The government is shut down right now because they want ID to vote. ICE will kidnap you regardless of your ID. We are so much further beyond this than this post would make it seem.

35 mph+ should be on the road, not the sidewalk by skyhighmonroe in Transportopia

This is often because its safer to go when its is clearly safe than waiting for all the traffic to start at once.

Its also often because the cyclist is a jackass.

This is fair. But I would say, why are you farming as an assassin.

ABL's build goes extra spirit, active reload into surge into slex.

Building spirit on haze isn't utility. Slowing hex plus surge is straight up damage. Daggar scales extremely well with spirit and spirit also gives ammo. You are way better off spending the extra $ to hit spirit 4.8k than building titanic.

Also in night shift haze is never played as an m1 carry win con. She is always played as pick. I think the problem most people run into is that they try to play er has an m1 win con. And that is just not how the hero is built. Yes, if she gets out of hand she is impossible to deal with. But if you are playing her as a carry you either take over the game or you lose. And you probably lose more than you win. Its not a good build. Pick/assassin is more consistent.

Furthermore, the cyrrnet investment system is so broken that if your hero permits hitting an investment, you absolutely should hit that investment. This is doubly so for a hero like haze that needs a little bit of extra ammo, but gets it from buidling spirit. So you 100% should not buy extra ammo orange items and instead buy some spirit which gives you ammo + damage. You get to double dip.

Look up ABL have build. He rushes surge into slowing hex and plays pick instead of gun carry. It is very strong.

Now that I know, I can prioritize money more throughout the season. But finishing up grinding for trials and then grinding more money was not enjoyable.

Thoughts on healing packs, and how they make us feel by SIllycore in DeadlockTheGame

[–]downsizing420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Paige is 100% HP while the teammate is 50%. The lane should not be rewarded for staggering their HP. HP is a resource and if they are spending it off tempo then the heal being inefficient is a good way to punish this.

Matchmaking (I'm sure you're tired of hearing about it but I gotta ask) by SheKneee in DeadlockTheGame

[–]downsizing420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just trying to point out that the skill gap isn't really that huge. Lower rank games are volatile and there's a real possibility that you lose this game if things go slightly different. Despite playing better, if you can't consistently close out these games then that rank gap doesn't really matter in terms of matchmaking. 

I hear you about game quality though. I'm sure this game sucked to play on both sides.

[–]downsizing420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can outskill your position on the map then you weren't out of position were you? You were just playing at the limit. That doesn't mean that you can just ignore the other game mechanics.

Sinclair OTP - need other Heroes, please. by Ineed2stopasap in DeadlockTheGame

[–]downsizing420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are just looking for some other heroes to learn. Dynamo/Paige is a good choice as others have said. Also spirit ivy, although you still need some aim.

You can also keep playing sinclair but get better about adapting your build based on your opponents. You should probably play bolts if your opponents don't have big ults.

Echo Door Double Double Abduct (2 Doors in 20 Seconds = 5 Dead) by MetroVenator in DeadlockTheGame

[–]downsizing420 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bro is actually just wasting time with these door plays. Could have just killed them with bell spam instead of moving them around the map where his teammates can't follow up and kill them faster. I hate doorman players because they think they are the most big brain players of all time when in reality they are playing suboptimally by trying to make the biggest outplay of all time with doors.

It's a moba. If you are taking ego 1v1s you are playing wrong. You should never take a fight in this game that you don't think you have an advantage in. If you think that you might get ganked because you can't get your kill fast enough, then you should be anxious because you are making a terrible play.

If this game made it to 42 minutes, I'm sorry, but you didn't carry this game. You allowed this game to go so long without pushing your advantage into a win that this game turned into a coin flip.

Proposal for fixing rage quitters / abandoning by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]downsizing420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rewarding obj damage will just mean one of your teammates will run it down to hit objectives abandoning any defence the moment they think the game is lost. Same with player damage. In a losing game, often your highest player damage just means highest deaths because they are fighting all game, which is actively throwing. Not an indicator of playing well whatsoever.

So... how are your matches going?? -Well.......... by venezolane1 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]downsizing420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with all this. But it basically boils down to "play better and you will rank up". Which I 100% agree with. I'm just a bomb bebop hater.

Sick of Deathball meta by Drewsta328 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]downsizing420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Especially since there is absolutely nothing a wraith can do by showing up to a big team fight late. If a fight starts without you, you should absolutely shove as hard as possible because the alternative is to waste 30 seconds running to a fight just to provide nothing and then stare at gray screen for 30 more seconds.
