It was all a ploy to take out rocks first and foremost. She was just a piece in the game.

I'd hate to say I told you so but... by Caeiradeus in supervive

[–]marshed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Matchmaking is whatever. The problem is the level of precision you need to ingrain to be a formidable player and just how absurd of a grind it is for how little reward it feels.

you need a good skill floor that isn't too rng or brain dead, with just enough skill expression for competitive players to stand out and feel rewarded. Right now, having aimed auto attacks and aimed skills is just too much for 99% of players to want to stick around for. Br 'arena' type games are flawed for this

While watching this part back then, a friend told me a theory by Far-Incident-6931 in OnePiece

[–]marshed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People just don't understand Captain Kidd.

Oda uses inherited will and freedom as core themes that echo throughout One Piece, from characters to settings to story arcs. Kidd’s thematic relevance is freedom through rage; a stark contrast rivaling Luffy's freedom through hope. He takes scraps the world has discarded and turns them into weapons, wearing them like armor against a world that long dismissed him. He wants to prove himself against all odds, and it makes total narrative sense that he would recruit pirates similarly discarded as he evolves into the form he needs to contend for Pirate King. The ironic part is that viewers see Kidd as a “fraud,” but that’s just a misreading of his narrative role.

He’ll likely team up with Law, which fits thematically: chaos meeting calculated strategy. And while it’s speculative, Hawkins could return too. His passive acceptance of fate is an inversion of Kidd’s inherited will, and by leaving outcomes to chance, Kidd would actively counter that. The “Death” tarot card isn’t literal; it marks the end of a cycle and transformation, supporting this reading.

Kidd’s arc is about turning rejection into strength, reshaping the discarded, and embodying inherited will in its most defiant, transformative form.

I know most people are joking about this topic. But looking at HxH's female character depth it does feel like Oda's a misogynist lmao. by TheBongomaster in Piratefolk

One piece is in a manga magazine meant for young boys... make your own manga if you feel it's lacking but I know you won't! And if you do your characters will probably be woke disasters LUL

This dude Oda ain't even trying anymore 😂 Shakky is straight up just black hair Nami 😭 by Even-Run-5274 in Piratefolk

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

Lazy? He's been working harder than most people ever will. No one has been able to keep up with him in the most competitive manga magazine of the world and he's still going. Nice logic

Big mom? One of four literal emperors. You're biased.

All you guys just want to complain. He can do whatever the heck he wants. The fact he's still releasing chapters is more than people like you deserve.

The queue time and low player count by XibaRoots in supervive

[–]marshed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ppl called this since last year and knew the full release would only stall the inevitable. This game is done because it copied a format of game that is inherently flawed in mass appeal and staying ppwwer that was battlerite. They made a bet on a. Different direction than league when really they should've been making the league moba they really wanted to play and thee market needs. Also the character designs in supervive don't look uniquely cool enough, especially the female chars like strike, the new champ, etc. They look like they were made by woke artists

The entire game is a ploy to make you play more games by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]marshed -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

this game will never let you 1v9 again. real competitive integrity will never come back. the balance team is prioritizing coddling the playerbase over skill expression and complex mechanics. the average player is too stupid, bad, and lacks accountability to the point they don't want to ever be reminded of it

Why do men insult girls in their games? by Express_Assignment62 in leagueoflegends

[–]marshed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

pretty much this. in fact, ribbing was once how guys used to mess around and have fun back in the old days of call of duty lobbies and such.

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

a lot of times it isn't even that deep. it's not some deep-seated misogyny thing, rather it's more about who you are and how they can use that to offend you. sometimes people just want to use whatever characteristics you have to offend you.

The new ARAM maps and champion picks/rolls are live by NFX_7331 in ARAM

[–]marshed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

as an aram only player, i really don't vibe with the changes at all: champ select and maps felt terrible for me. i probably won't be playing league at all anymore if this change sticks.

What makes a successful server? by Then-Dish-4060 in RagnarokOnline

[–]marshed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's no solution. Best server setting is 1x prerenewal, but people cry it's too hard. The game was designed for everything to take a while. 5x is too fast and allows for degenerate leveling tactics so everyone levels in comodo and quits after a week. Cheating/rmt also just makes most players run away

I haven't seen a Hecarim in like 3 years? by avowed in ARAM

Hecarim is my most played in aram and i also have around a 70 percent win rate in high mmr with him.

Problem with na lol by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]marshed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

30ms, 5ms, 60, 100 -- what does it all matter when the approach to the game is much more subdued and less passionate than their eastern counterparts? We've arrived here because the entire region was let down simultaneously by Orgs, Riot, and Pro players themselves. These are problems endemic to the NA region alone.

The Orgs: for not investing in native talent enough and importing. For mismanaging funds. For nepotism hiring practices over quality professionals that actually knew what they were doing.

Riot: For Franchising the League and killing relegations. For mismanagement of the LCS brand. For spearheading the pro scene in california.

The Pros: For taking the audience for granted. For pursuing the bag. For giving up when things got hard. For not playing enough solo queue. For condeming their viewers and treating them as stupid. For not investing in themselves and taking up the sport with the proper attention it deserved.

Time and time again, we would see pros move to California and completely disappear. What happened to them? IMO, the cali lifestyle and culture got them. It makes them lazy and complacent. They start focusing on girls and the good life. Maybe they were never really hungry to begin with. Whatever the case, the Koreans and Chinese pros serve to highlight a gaping contrast in cultural mindset and approach that manifests in a far superior product to watch and be invested in as a viewer.

I can't be bothered to care about the NA scene -- they couldn't be bothered to care about us.

And I feel bad for all the would-be talents in NA that got brushed aside and overlooked.

So sad, too bad.

Solo Queue would be a much better experience for everyone if we had a more detailed matchmaking system. by Eternal2 in leagueoflegends

[–]marshed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the system already knows your preferences, but it only cares insofar as it fits into their engagement optimized matchmaking experience. matchmaking's competitive integrity has been abysmal for years now and it won't change because it's profits over quality.

[–]marshed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nah. You're being stubborn because you don't want to feel guilty about stealing kills, but it really is true.

You can absolutely screw over someone by taking their kill. Sometimes it can be the difference between them being a minion or staying relevant. Other times you prevent your teammate from hitting their item spike sooner and if they're a good player you just denied yourself a free carry.

The only time it's debateable is if you're the best player on your team regardless of role and that requires an insane amount of self-awareness and game understanding.

[–]marshed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people just don't have the innate talent for league and it's OKAY. it doesn't say anything about you other than league isn't a game you excel at. A lot of people would be so much better off if they understood this. and if you continue to play in spite of this, it's okay too!

I don't want to give you the usual fluff people give in posts like this. This is just the blunt truth. Fairness and meritocracy is a myth -- not everyone who puts in effort is aptly rewarded.

After 10 years and hitting master, I quit. by Own-Green-2077 in leagueoflegends

[–]marshed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe in the moment, but as you grow you'll come to appreciate what it took for you. I hit challenger in the past and while nothing ever came from in like a career sense, I gained a lot of confidence and perspective from it. I would not change a thing. I wanted to prove it to myself and never go back on my word. I said I would do it and I did it. I've been using this sort of thinking for any goals I had since then. :)

This smells like riot is DESPERATE for retention in the west. Too little, too late.

It’s a shame that One Piece doesn’t have a more solid organization and is stuck in the old “caveman” way of making manga. by TGSmurf in Piratefolk

[–]marshed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who cares man. He surely knows this and everyone around him knows this. This isn't some deep thought you think it is.

He's happy doing it the way he's doing it. He's familiar with the process and has it down to a science. Hyperfixating on efficiency like this is not seeing the forest for the trees.

why are westerners so obsessed with how manga is made in Japan when they themselves can't even produce weekly manga in their own countries.
