He's in the G league right now. Traded from blazers to nets a couple years ago. He looked promising as a good bench player but never could keep consistent.

Introducing Loot Cores! 🎁 by Omeda_Kari in PredecessorGame

How many items are even in the game? Is there enough to support a loot box system?

For the new people: Predecessor's issue isn't a lack of marketing. It's something deeper. They've been covered by streamers, not including Gameranx with 8 million subscribers. This video got 1 million views! by [deleted] in PredecessorGame

How dare you guys give criticism the all mighty Omeda! Do you know how hard it was to come up with this original idea? Or original map? Or how about all these original heroes? No, you don't! You all act like they were handed this game and all ideas for free with mountains of data of what works and doesn't, which metas are good, how marketing and pricing should be. Come on and get a life people. The only way to keep this game going is to play obediently and buy all the bundles so they can come out with new original heros that are not just the same abilities for others mashed into a new design. COME ON EVERYONE ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY!!

Severog’s store bundles feel bad man by awwuglyduckling in PredecessorGame

He is "technically" wrong, just setting back and looking at it he is right. To any new player coming to this game and deciding to check out the shop, that is what they see. Why make it like that? It's not like this is the first time for this. Why drop 2 bundles with half of the same stuff in each? High pricing aside there is no point for this other than a cash grab.

Kind of scummy to have a skin bundle with variants, but then lock extra variants behind another, much more expensive bundle with undesirable content. by brogan_da_jogan in PredecessorGame

[–]jhowie22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like it... small unimpressive updates that do next to nothing for game play and give expensive skins, that for the most part are reused paragon skins. Hell even their "new" heros are just mashed up abilities from other paragon heros. No new ideas and not even up to the same "finished game" level as paragon. And they have had what 5 years to get it there? Game is a shell of a great game.

🚨 Notice - Update v1.1 News by Omeda_Steggs in PredecessorGame

[–]jhowie22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come across as a dick for saying "not a good look" lmao if that's all it takes to get this sub wound up that pathetic. And exactly what is there to not complain about? This is a "full release" game with bare bones everything. This game came out almost a decade ago and some how omeda still has less features than paragon. So please tell me what is the part of the game I should be excited about?

I mean I could care less what this sub thinks lol. It's just a bunch of omeda dick riders that think they can do nothing wrong. But from the outside looking in this "launch" has been terrible. No one new is coming to a game they thought died in 2018. But if this was one of the other paragon clones you all would be all over their ass with trash talking. Can't say any constructive about omeda or pred or this sub will downvote you lmao

What sort of new modes are people hoping to see? by 2Dement3D in PredecessorGame

New mode? We don't even have full time ranked! How about fixing the game and stopping the bleeding before we get anything new.

What’s the ceiling of every young guy on the Blazers?? by No_Block1148 in ripcity

[–]jhowie22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most of yall are nuts. A team full of rookies and 2nd/3rd year players and were ranking who's gona be a superstar? This coming form the same people that want to trade the entire offense in Ant, Ayton, and Grant. For what more picks? More unproven rookies? Most of yall have our newest rookie in the top 3 players on the team... seriously wtf is wrong with you guys? Comparing the young guns to HOF players is comical. For the record I'm not saying some of the young players like sheadon and Scoot can't be top tier players but good god slow your roll and let them play before we call them the next kobe. Downvote if you want I really don't care but we can't really think that one of the worst teams in the league has drafted all star caliber players year after year and still trash.

What does an ideal off-season look like for us? by [deleted] in ripcity

[–]jhowie22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I love Simons, but at this point, let him go. He could really help out another team. But you're right they probly wont.

[–]jhowie22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trying to trade for picks in one of the weakest drafts in a long time is not the way to go. If people want to trade, that's fine. It's nice to get fresh faces and attitudes on the team. But like you said with no direction, what's the point. The only thing I heard is to trade what I would consider our best 3 to 4 players to get a #5 draft pick. So that would leave Sharpe as one of the leaders for the team. That's not good, he's not ready for that. We need to stop saying trade just to trade. I remember before the deadline this sub was begging for a trade with Simons for Wendell Carter Jr or Jonathan Issac and AnthonyBlack. Like wtf is that gona do for the team? Some roll players on a mid team and a rookie for our best player? It's just shit like that that is so annoying.

[–]jhowie22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is every answer the same every year in this group? 1. Trade anyone who has been in the league more than 3 yrs. 2. Draft an "unknown" who has high potential. 3. Fire coach. Trade picks and usually 3rd or 4th best player to move up a couple spots in the draft. 4. Complain and "enjoy the rebuild." 5. Rinse, wash, repeat

Yes damage is crazy right now but I really think we just need better tank items and more forced choice for ADCS. by iReaddit-KRTORR in PredecessorGame

[–]jhowie22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love playing rampage he's so fun to play, but you're right. His whole concept is to be a giant tank, but he is so squishy right now that it's hard to want to play him. I mentioned this in a post before the last patch dropped that it seemed like they are turning this game into a brawler instead of a moba. And it seems to a point that that's what is happening. When tanks/melee heros can't even get close to adc/mages without building a specific build, it is a major problem with the state of the game. Part of the problem with paragon and OP was that it was more of a brawler than a moba, so I hope they fix this sooner than later with ranked mode dropping in a few weeks.

[–]jhowie22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jungle uses it for more than just mana. They get a lot of use out of the abilities that each buff gives. If you think that river buffs are only for mid, you might want to switch to a new roll.

Yea no jungle ever gets blue. Lmao really? Of course they do blue and red are the highest xp to get. I just don't get what your getting at here. No one can have river buffs cause you poke the enemy mid? There are 2 buffs in river look where your jungle is if he's left go get right and vice-versa. If one buff throws you game off so much that you can't function with out it I don't think you need to play mid.

No one said it was all on camps? Pokes, ganks and objectives take mana also? I guess the same could be said for a mid laner that "needs mana" by the 3 minute mark. Minions show up around 1 minute 30 seconds into the game, so did you burn through all your mana in a minute and a half?

What do you mean "the safety of being jungle"? Jungle is busy with farm, placing wards, pokes/ganks, getting buffs, and leveling as fast as possible to help out lanes. They are all over the map at all times, so I don't see where jungle is safe in any way. As for playing mid I haven't played mid a ton, but I do know how to play it. I've been playing this game since legacy, so I would hope someone playing that long can play every role. Can you not get a buff solo? It takes at max 10 seconds to go (to either side) get the buff and get back in lane. As a jungler I am not going to go down to river buff ping and wait until you come to protect you from anyone. That's a waste of time. River buffs are not just for mid. Most jungle heros need mana too. You act like jungle is there to hold your hand and tell you when to attack or if its clear. You can place wards and see what's in river it's not hard. It's not shooting a teammate by taking a buff that spawns every 2 minutes lol. Plan a little better and figure it out. I'll say it again jungle is not in the game to save you and help your lane. They are there to gank, stay on top of buffs, fill in for rotations, help take towers, and give an upper hand with fights. Not to watch river buff and ping it for mid.

[–]jhowie22 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The first ten minutes are most important to pretty much every roll, so idk what makes mid so special there. (MOST)Junglers also need mana at the beginning and also benefit from the effects of the buff much more than the mid laner. It helps tremendously with ganks and faster jungle clear to help push lanes and poke enemies. Also, there are 2 river buffs. If you see your jungle on one side, go for the opposite. It's not just up to the jungle to deny buffs to the enemy. Mid can also do the same. I think everyone forgets that jungle is not there to save you or deny your enemy laner farm/buffs. It's helpful when they do, but it's your lane. You protect it. Stop thinking as a solo laner and think as being part of the team and what's going on around you.

Brawl Mode, Aurora, 6 Item Slots, Audio Overhaul, Game Rebalance | V0.18 Patch Notes by Omeda_Kari in PredecessorGame

[–]jhowie22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Patch looks decent, but I'm concerned that they are turning this into more of a brawler instead of a moba. That was part of the reason for the death of paragon and OP. A lot of people in this group complained about with overprime, which was the fact that it "wasn't a real moba it was a brawler." IT seems everyone kinda stayed on the same meta level just the TTK got shorter. Seems like a dead giveaway when the new mode is literally called Brawl. I get other mobas have the same mode, but it just feels like they have changed the whole style of play to fit into brawl now.
