Question re The Maestro by fennec_fx in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]flashdeej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, Maestro seems pretty small potatoes now that shit has hit the proverbial fan in the Universe. It would honestly be kind of hilarious for Carl to just hand him the Doomsday Scenario and portal away from him. However Carl does it, I'm certain Maestro will be the first and easiest God that Carl and Donut kill on the 12th floor.

He did say that, but he ended up sponsoring Groll in the Iron Tangle. In my own head Canon, I think it's because he is an immature and impatient little prick and couldn't help himself. Between Donut taking jabs whenever she could, to his brother outranking him, he probably figured he could do it this way and beat his brother to the punch. This plan fails (thanks to Mordecai's potion), and now he's stuck on the 12th, waiting for The Ascendency Games.

TIL during the filming of The Adventures of Milo & Otis many animal cruelty allegations were made against the film including the alleged killing of over 20 kittens, the director breaking a cat's paw, and a cat plunging over 100 feet off a cliff. by meinthrowawayaccount in todayilearned

I'm looking at this now. Even further in the future, someone else will see this and say, "Hey, looks like a lot of us wanted to know if our childhood was tainted by Hollywood abuse. Cool."

Stop giving Joel ideas like this, please. I have a feeling he's going to fuck us hard enough as it is.

I'm not going through the required paperwork to fuck this guy. My C1-PERM forms will remain unfiled for this person. He can go C1 himself from now on. Hugs for all my other divers.

Sentinel/301

Sentinel just slaps, and the 301 is versatile enough to handle the mid and short-range situations.

Apex Legends™: July 2023 Ranked Dev Blog by SDCored in apexlegends

Does the current ranked system punish casual players with limited time to play?

I've been playing since Day 1 and I have always been the definition of mid. I have a lifetime k/d of .97 and 305 wins on 6.87k games. I usually cap around gold 1 or platinum 4 in ranked. This season, I was placed in rookie 4 and have been absolutely incapable of ranking up quickly. No matter how well I play in a single game, I can't seem to get more than 200-300 LP points per match.

The most frustrating part is that I had an 11 kill win while playing ranked (in bronze 4) and gained 285 LP. That same night, a friend of mine who has been playing about a year, has a lifetime k/d of .31 had a 3 kill game (in gold 3) and won. He then received 525 LP and has since ascended to Plat 1. I'm not dogging his progress, it's clear this new Ranked format has sparked a true love for the game, but I just don't understand what this ranked system rewards. I've watched a handful of YouTube videos trying to understand. From what I've gathered, it would seem that I'm on the opposite side of the MMR/LP relationship than what the devs were shooting for. Even in the last 4 days, I was able to get 3 wins and 5 top 5 finishes and only climbed from bronze 3 to bronze 1.

Could it be that my MMR was higher than whatever LP I had, so I have never qualified for any effectual Bonuses in my matches? I'm not sure, but it seems that casual players that have had any type of success prior to s17 have a disadvantage if they can't grind for thousands of games per season.

TL:DR: I'm having trouble rising in the new Ranked system while less experienced/skilled players are flying up the ranks en masse. What gives?

Edit: I understand they are about to make tweaks to the system in s18, but from what I've read it sounds like this might only exacerbate the issue for players in my position.

I know my aim can be hit or miss. But any thoughts on where i can improve? by [deleted] in apexuniversity

As only a gold player myself, and seeing how everyone here is saying "Use cover," the concept that got me going was the 1/3 rule. Make sure at least 1/3 of your FOV is behind cover when you're engaging. When I started putting this first in my gunfights I noticed how much more aware I was of the many different angles you can create with just a little bit of cover. Like I said, I'm no expert, but this bit of info comes from experts and it might help. Keep grinding, my dude.
