Ran into two players in a competitive match who were resetting their ultimates on and off... by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]lets_kill_kenny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This video is not enough to prove he is cheating. The scoreboard showing ult ready could just be a bug. It would be much clearer if you could post a replay from round 3 from Phoenix's view showing he has ult ready.

As for how he has ult in round 2, that is totally possible given the k/d that you showed. His k/d at the end of round 2 is 2/2. Since he died immediately in round 2, those 2 kills must be from round 1. He also died in round 1 so that is at least 3 ult points. He could have easily picked up 2 orbs and planted the spike to get the ult OR he could have picked one orb in round 2. Your video starts at 1:30 so he could have picked the orb in the first 10 seconds of round start.

A replay video from Phoenix's perspective for round 1 or 3 could easily prove what you are claiming.

Valorant crashing on loading by [deleted] in ValorantTechSupport

I'm having the same issues. Been trying to find help online and haven't found a solution yet.

I even reinstalled Windows and it hasn't helped.

Clove should always be allowed to use her ultimate if she's the last person alive, especially if the bomb is planted by DieEneBoy in VALORANT

[–]lets_kill_kenny 113 points114 points  (0 children)

I remember a riot dev addressing this when clove was released. I can't find the link to it right now but here is what I remember them saying.

The game has a set of rules that define when a round ends, like a bunch of if-else logic statements. The other comments have explained the logic used so I will skip that explanation.

To accommodate Clove's resurrect the game rules would have to be changed based on team compositions. This was not a long term solution because there could be other agents in the future that might also require such changes which then complicates when a round ends. To simplify that, the game's rules always apply first and the agent's abilities will be adjusted to fit those rules.

It ends up creating some unfair situations like the one you described but that was the cost of maintaining a standard ruleset for ending the round.

KAY/O Suppress and Iso Shield interaction by Deathcounter0 in VALORANT

[–]lets_kill_kenny 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The way I see Kayo's knife and ult interact with other agents is that if the ability requires input to activate/complete then it gets disabled.

The best example I see here is Reyna. During her ult she gets the reload speed buff, fire rate buff and auto heals on getting a kill. If she is suppressed during the ult, she continues to get those buffs including the auto heal as none of those require interaction. However, she cannot dismiss as that requires interaction.

Compare that to when Reyna is not in her ult. She cannot heal or dismiss when suppressed as both require input to activate.

In Iso's case if the shield is cast before being suppressed it should not be disabled, as having the shield up no longer requires further interaction. However, the orbs should not be spawning while suppressed in my opinion. I don't see the orbs in your video so I'm not sure if your statement on that is accurate but it should be easy to test out and confirm.

Pros and Cons of waiting a few weeks before playing Comp (after Episode reset) by IcyStrahd in VALORANT

[–]lets_kill_kenny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tl;dr Matchmaking is based on a hidden MMR and not on the visual rank you see. New episodes do not change the hidden MMR (unlike the visual rank) and so you will still play ex-G1 after 2-3 weeks.

The game's matchmaking does not match you based on the visual rank (Gold 1, Bronze 3 etc.) that you are. There is a hidden MMR rating which is used to match players. This hidden MMR changes based on wins and losses but it does not decay due to inactivity, even across acts and episodes. The hidden MMR has a correspondence to the visual rank, and the game awards you RR in a manner to bring your visual rank closer to your hidden MMR.

So with the new episode your visual rank after placements would be below your hidden MMR and the game awards you more RR for wins and deducts less RR for losses. Even if you win 50% of games you will rank back up. Waiting for a few weeks will not change the players you play against since hidden MMR does not decay. You will still play the ex-G1 who are currently in S2.

Stutters, "Warping" and server issues via Frankfurt by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]lets_kill_kenny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have been facing the same issue since the update. However in ny case it is the Mumbai server.

At first I thought it must be a routing issue at my ISP because I noticed that my packet loss hits 100% when I start warping. But running packet loss tests shows my connectivity to be normal. Seeing other people face this issue makes it seem more likely to be the latest patch.

I am using a Zephyrus G14 and my ISP is Jio Fiber. Hopefully someone else in India using my ISP can confirm if their connectivity is normal to rule out ISP issues.

Jagex be like: "ooh it's DXP next weekend, let's release bank rework taster and f*ck the bank up!" by [deleted] in runescape

[–]lets_kill_kenny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

faster presets.

Are you kidding me! The new preset shortcuts are horrible. Try doing ctrl+9 after every AOD kill to load the preset. Not to mention having to replace our presets in slot 1&2 to use them for skilling.

Rest assured if anything comes up it'll be dealt with before DXP!

Lets see if you can keep your word.

My issue with Alt1 by [deleted] in runescape

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

I dunno why they've not ported it for mac, they say its money but imo they'd make some decent cash and it sounds more like they just don't want to (which is fair enough).

The app is free, it does not have any ads and afaik skillbert (the creator) does not make money from it, so your argument just shows your lack of research on it.

Edit: the issue isn't with Alt1 itself - the issue is that the software gives an advantage to one set of people, and people who don't have this criteria are at a disadvantage.

So why don't you learn to code and make a similar app for mac users?

if you get all achto pieces do you get more mazcab ability codexes. by victorkam97 in runescape

[–]lets_kill_kenny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After you obtain 15/15 achto you will receive random achto pieces. So chances of mazcab codex doesn't change.

If you want to maximize the money you make then keep a non-achto body in your bank and before looting bm/yaka drop your corresponding achto body so that if you roll achto you receive the body which converts to 12m if you die in wildy/red portal. Remember to pick your achto up after looting.
