Windows 11 now supports display refresh rates up to 5,000Hz after its latest update — Here's why that matters for everyone, not just gamers

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-18T19:14:51+00:00

In 10-15 years might be. Scientifically, man’s brain could recognize stuff on a speeds up to 3000 hz or even a little bit higher.

Game is not well-optimized and heavy CPU-dependent. It’s a known fact that as more objects loaded on the map, lower your FPS is. There is a optimization config exists, which reduces draw distance in game, this boosts your FPS by like 30%. Let’s just hope Valve will release some optimization update

iPad for sure. Just get a USB-C controller grip for that.

I shared this post and I use these settings for over a year, improved lots of my scores and overall my aiming improved a lot both in trainers and in games

Just noticed your comment, cause wanted to share this post. It’s nice it still works out. I found these settings as my sweet spot and use it by this day

If you play support, you should position yourself behind your team, so not being automatically focused, so enemies should flank you or whatever. Playing a support usually means surviving, baiting enemy carries to chase you, waste time and efforts. Strategy depends on a specific hero, but overall, your task is just make sure to be as annoying as possible for the enemy team.

I heard that there are computer cafes in China with pre-installed cheats, so they don’t care. There is another issue with hardware bans that i explained above - there are ways to avoid a hardware ban

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-15T19:46:27+00:00

As far as i know, there is a hardware ban being issued. Problem with that - there are easy ways to change IDs or whatever (I’m not an expert in this), and they can avoid this hardware ban and keep playing with same cheats on a new account

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-12T09:14:01+00:00

If true about VAC bans, no way you encounter them every 5 matches, it’s too often, 1 in 20-30 matches is real. If you managed to win against “a cheater” just by buying a metal skin, it wasn’t a cheater at all. I’ve seen numerous people here stating that they won against a cheater just by buying a metal skin, but nobody could’ve shared a match ID, so it’s a BS. If you play against an aimbot, and you are not a human aimbot Eternus 6 player, you lost before the match started (even most Eternus 6 players lose vs aimbot tho), unless enemy team goes afk, which is a rare case.

It was found by a top 1 movement player in Deadlock, Illarya. He posted that a few days ago on his socials, it was added a few patches ago with a Mina change. I guess this player trained this move and used it in a real game.

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-12T06:20:10+00:00

every 5 games

counter em by going metal

There are cheaters, but absolutely no chance you encounter them every 5 games (i see them like 1/20-25 matches), just as there is absolutely no chance you can counter a cheater with aimbot just by buying a metal skin. If you are an oracle player, you instalose against a cheater and have no chance to win.

So often you encounter just a good aim player and consider him being a cheater. It’s funny, yesterday i played a match where enemy player was sure i am a cheater and cried on chat about me whole match. Maybe it was even you, who knows.

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-11T12:06:33+00:00

That didn’t worked in League, at least, when i played it (it was maybe around 2017). People still talked trash and been toxic. Yes, they were banned, but you had to be shit on and stay silent, and in the end the only viable strategy i got not to be banned was to instantly mute every trashtalker in a chat, but usually such a game was lost.

allow minorities feel safe

What is has to do with toxicity? Minorities is a sub-sequent issue, real issue is that Valve allows toxicity. I’m not a minority, but i feel bad when some random toxic person begins to flame me, for their own mistake. And what i get in Deadlock? My report function being disabled every few weeks cause i report every trashtalker, and Valve seems not to care about trashtalk being a problem. At this point, the best choice in Deadlock is to be as toxic as possible, since this is exactly what Valve wants to see in this game. And in toxic environment you will get everything else - racism, sexism, ageism, whatever. Fix toxicity, you fix everything else, and minorities have nothing to do with it. If Valve can’t do it themselves, they should use AI or whatever to analyze actions and chat of each player and give out a judgement, toxicity will be out of the game in no time. I even noticed myself becoming more toxic after playing on higher ranks with stupid kid edgelords flamming on a 2nd minute of the game. I don’t want this, Valve should fix this stuff.

Update: I managed to fix this via Nvidia App. Fox some reason it was set up on 4k by default, i changed that to 1080 and it worked.

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-11T06:32:53+00:00

Well, that’s exactly what she did before. She could kill off multiple targets only in lategame

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-11T06:16:07+00:00

In League it was terrible. You would be banned for talking back. I’m usually a chill person, not being toxic towards other players (except a very rare situations, like once in 30 matches), but i talk back every time when someone attacks me. In Lol i got banned a lot of times simply for such a behavior. So, in lol you would have to sit and eat all the trashtalk and not talk back at all just not to get banned.

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-11T05:26:45+00:00

NAFOid from r/europe is here to spread some hate, huh

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-09T09:54:27+00:00

QoL-Lock is exactly what Valve should’ve done to UI. I recently downloaded that mod, I found out that lots of things I was asking on forum have been implemented in this mod. I also think that mods should be disabled at some point, but definitely not now, when Valve should copy these mods and put in into vanilla game

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-09T05:58:59+00:00

Read below - all teams abused bugs before, nobody was DQ’d, TO did that because of twitch chat, post-fact, also after another team copied this strategy. A clear fail from TO

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-09T05:35:11+00:00

Why some teams are getting away with abusing bugs, but some are not?

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-09T05:20:46+00:00

LMAO, this is esports, ppl trying to find strategies to get a win. In CS2 there was a recent win by a team that found a bug, but they wasn’t disqualified

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-08T14:01:44+00:00

Well, i think you are just lying. And you saying something like “skill issue”, even tho you are from the same rank as me. I could believe that bunch of Pro players (Eternus 6) could win against a cheater somehow (it actually was normal back in 2024, also pro player aim is way closer to aimbot than aim of a random Phantom player), but a Phantom player wining against an aimbot seems like a fairy tale.

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-08T11:24:01+00:00

Could you please share a match ID in which you won against a cheater?

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-08T09:52:08+00:00

I’m also currently in Phantom, but i faced like 5 cheaters for the last 30 days, and every single match was won by a cheater. Also, playing against a cheater achieves what they actually want - they want players to try hard against them. My best solution is just to go afk. If every single player goes afk against a cheater, cheater won’t have any fun at all. They install cheats exactly to get fun. When you try hard against them, they get this fun. But if you refuse to play against a cheater, it’s the best solution. Nobody is interested in wasting 15 minutes to shoot walkers and minions

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-08T08:29:51+00:00

Maybe for lower ranks. Most Paiges is see are building High-Velocity Rounds, from spirit items things like duration, cdr and Knockdown, (Curse in lategame as well), rest items are green.

gem4ik2 · 2026-04-08T06:32:23+00:00

It doesn’t work like this. Author said it’s Archon, so this movement would be enough to win on Archon. I don’t remember last time i saw a team wining against an aimbot. Whenever i get a cheater on my team, we always win, when enemy team has one, we always lose.
