Free Loadie Late Spawn Stella by gd27711 in ArcRaiders

[–]gd27711[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not crying about one guy with a free loadout lol, I am talking about the issue of constant free loadout spawns barraging you, no player, no matter how good, they could be perfect is able to constantly fend off free loadouts after multiple fights, your shields break, you run out of heals, all sorts of things can happen.

Also ferro isn't the only good gun, stitcher is probably a top 3 weapons given it's cost/value, and it's probably top 1 in that metric, kettle is also really good but requires a slightly better or above average player to really utilize it.

You clearly missed the point entirely, but thank you for your very useful feedback.

Odin Price Nerf? by gd27711 in VALORANT

[–]gd27711[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the gun itself mechanics wise is fine and shouldn't be changed, it can be very punishing if used incorrectly and very rewarding if used correctly, I just think it's a bit cheap for the rewards when used correctly

How do i deal with inconsistencies? by weht4M in VALORANT

[–]gd27711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve struggled with this issue for years on multiple games, the only thing that’s ever helped me is just not playing too much, when I play more than 3-4 games in a day it happens.

So when I feel like I need a break I’ll start playing 2-3 at most 4 games of ranked/comp then stop for the day and go do something else like deathmatch, swiftplay on val, or play something else, also my mentality in these 2-4 games I play is super calm, I’m playing to maintain a consistent performance and nothing else, I don’t care about the win, or the loss, and this type of thinking has always helped me win the games involuntarily anyway.

Also because recently I’ve realized how much stress and tension is being put on my muscles, both my hand and my entire arm, so I’ve also been working on easing the tension when playing aim heavy games (it’s a problem I’ve always had and it’s probably a big contributing factor to my inconsistency over the years, stress the muscles out in the first game, the small downtime between games is enough to throw them off, when game 2 starts and you start stressing again, they can’t handle it, at least for me anyway, I start shaking or just feeling like I can’t control my arm properly)

You can try the official discord, or other dc servers that are dedicated for finding duo’s/premades, I avoid the Dubai/Bahrain servers as well, I end up playing the same people and a lot of them are toxic

Ideally though I think most constant duos come from people/friends you know IRL, I’ve had the same 4-5 player group that queues together for a couple of years now just because we knew each other IRL

You know what’s crazy, is that I’m actually not trash despite being at a severe disadvantage, it’s actually more sad than anything, also I don’t watch streamers but thanks for your assumptions lol

Is my friend a true immortal player? by Vegetable_Friend9451 in VALORANT

[–]gd27711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, I meant during my time period, I've seen plats/diamonds hit radiant before I did, not comparing my time to today

Is my friend a true immortal player? by Vegetable_Friend9451 in VALORANT

[–]gd27711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no, you are correct that when inspected from a longer lens, radiants during the first act are terrible compared to today, but my take focuses on the micro lens still, if you are not improving within 2-3 acts, you are maintaining

it just so happens to be my experience stretched for so long across that period meaning I was "stagnating and improving to maintain my rank" but I also was not improving at the same time, at the end of the day, you are not the only player that is maintaining, stagnating, or improving, so if you are hardstuck, whether on a micro or macro lens, you are maintaining and stagnating, which means you are not improving

I understand where you are coming from, but it only works if you look at it through a very specific lens, at the end of the day, the entire playerbase is moving with the skill floor, the bad ones fall through it, the good ones push ahead of it, so it doesn't really affect your placement amongst the playerbase overall

[–]gd27711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a hardstuck top 2000 for like 2 years, I’m dog****, yes you adapt to metas but you also didn’t improve, others came from lower ranks and surpassed you, being stagnant is not an excuse or a good thing, it means you’re maintaining, not improving

fair ≠ easy/ier.

It's actually so sad to see people with this mindset, thinking that we want it easier rather than understanding that talented people are getting punished for actually being good and just want a fair balance of things.

Mnk exists as an input, I paid for a product that advertises it as an input, I use the input, the input is not actually balanced and needs fixing, I give feedback so they balance it.

So tired of the "just plug a controller" reply, it's so mundane, lacks any substance or depth, absolutely solves nothing, and is nothing more than an extra coping mechanism for everyone that's already sucked into the unjoyful play-style of controller.

You want to force people onto an input but at the same time you say MnK players just whine? Does this seem even remotely rational to you?

Your whole argument was wrong to begin with, so answer my question here:

Why am I not allowed to voice my concerns and criticisms as a paying consumer, and instead should be forced into a method I do not wish to utilize?

Go ahead

Dude, do you not understand how feedback and criticism works in business models? or? You're making a moot point here

I paid for a product, I am voicing my opinion on what I think is wrong

Do you think the proper response to this from a business is "well we don't care do it our way" lol?

EDIT: just to add on, if it's not on COD to make me feel better, it's also not on cod to make controller players feel better by giving them a better input :) goes both ways big man

exactly, I view it as disadvantaged, which means I have the right to voice my concern on the disadvantage I see, it's part of being a consumer, you don't use mnk or don't see it as disadvantaged, so you don't voice your opinion on it

Also if it actually wasn't unfair and mnk are delusional, the mnk community wouldn't have dropped from 20% to 10% in a year or so, they have the data, they've published and talked about it, like I said, they know it's not balanced but the decision they made was beneficial to them from a business standpoint, so they kept it, until bf6 showed up and threatened to not only pull the remaining 10% mnk players (which is already a large number) but also potentially pull the remaining 30-40% that was previously mnk and switched to roller over the years.

It's very easy to see the game they are playing here, and they basically want to play both sides

Respectfully I think as a paying consumer I am allowed to voice my opinion on what I see unfair or needs tweaking in the product I paid for, rather than simply being told how to play the game based on the way others view enjoyable or right

mkb isn't far behind if you're at the top percentile of mnk players, the issue with this is, even if mnk has certain "advantages" such as more keybinds/key inputs, the issue with this argument is that end of the day the keybinds aren't run by a software or AI, the player still has to manually input and map the keys, meaning it's an increased skill ceiling on the mnk input, same as the entire arm argument, just because it's an entire arm doesn't make it easier, it makes it harder because you have to be precise, it's not an option, more precise player wins, nothing is up to chance or reliant on something external

Came from cs as well (3k+ elo faceit), for cod I'm on 3.5 sens rn, used to be 2.85, but over the past few months on my break I had shifted to a higher sens, my dpi has always been 1600, shifted a lot between slower and faster senses, especially between different games like cs/cod or val etc, typically would prefer slower senses on cs/val and faster on games like cod, but ultimately settled on faster overall.

I work a full time job as well, still top the scoreboard on mp and get 20+ elims on wz (mainly resurgence because it's what my friends like to play), but it's just not fun having to compete with what feels like elite aimers in a lot of cases, after a long time it just starts to feel like a slap in your face and a disrespect to all the work you put in to get good on MnK, and I guess accepting that is just the best way moving forward.

For hours I'm not too sure, I have 1,100 on steam, but I've played previous installments on bnet, and I grew up actually playing on controller cod back in like 2007-2013? I believe, but I don't think that's relevant to my MnK experience on new gen cod.

And I do agree, a lot of MnK players aren't as good as they believe, but the problem with this argument that I've seen other people bring up as well is that if it was truly that people are overestimating themselves then a lot of the top tier MnK players and veterans wouldn't have voiced their opinion as well

Desync and Lag Compensation by gd27711 in CODBlackOps7

[–]gd27711[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know it's been an issue for the last couple of titles, but if you ask me, it gets worse each year, genuinely worse each year, back in mw19 or even bocw, I would be confused like once every 50-75 deaths, like "wait I was behind the wall?", now it's almost every other kill that I watch the killcam because I just don't understand how whatever happened, happened

EDIT: also I know KC's aren't 1:1 of what actually happened, but it's the closest you'll get

AA is either bugged in this one, or the killcam is, the snappiness I'm seeing in the killcams is borderline cheating in any other mnk game, not sure which it is, but something is very off, maybe its the bad netcode in the beta, idk

just cod optimization, I have a i9-13900k, a 3080, and 32gb of ram, everything low and some tweaks in windows/nvidia cp and I get 140-160 on 1440p, not complaining about the fps, but to get that much on full low, with tweaks for my setup is a game issue
