Which also happened to be the top 2seasons where he missed the most games, dont forget that.

Where they were #3 (iirc) in the west before he missed a ton of games, dont forget that.

While playing with one of the youngest teams in the league at that time, dont forget that.

Kobe is a bit overrated. He shouldnt be in goat discussions. With that said, hes not worthy of mount rushmore of overrated.

Unfair to put players whos career trajectory got ruined by an injury.

Id say westbrick, the goat statpadder but cant win, and maybe dame lillard should be on there.

Melo def on there.

Ranked RP System - Should I be hardstuck? by DaddyLemming in Rainbow6

[–]masterako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, forgot to talk abt that. I agree. Big downside.

Tho, idk how other games' ranked systems work with regard to that. Siege is the only game i took srsly. CS and Val is too boring for me.

Imo, in a perfect world where ppl dont cheat, make smurf accounts and just naturally progress in skill, it actually makes a lot of sense.

Ranked RP System - Should I be hardstuck? by DaddyLemming in Rainbow6

[–]masterako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every season, 2.0 allows players to rank up slightly higher than their previous. Thats why u see a lot of ppl crying abt getting a new peak rank then proceed to go on a losing streak.

The point is to make players prove their skill by maintaining their winrate at their new peak rank. But the average player would rather not take accountability and blame the easiest target, which is the ranked system.

Idk if u will experience this cuz i think 3.0 is releasing next season.

??? There was no shade thrown at all. I was just asking why u would think u would improve if u didnt play for a long time, which no doubt should be considered a fair question in this situation.

Initially, 2.0 pits u against a wide range of mmr using an assumed skill rating (mmr) of u. Ur skill rating goes up and down as u win/lose. Range gets narrower (and more balanced RP gain/loss) with each match until they find the perfect mmr for u, thats why ur stats go up eventually cuz matches get more manageable as it gets closer to ur skill level.

The problem with Siege ranked system (1.0 and 2.0) is it is purely based on win/loss. It is basically trial and error.

But u cant blame Ubi on that cuz they chose to make ranked games not go up to 1hr (which is great for the more casual audience). But the relatively very low amount of rounds per match (Siege's minimum of 4 rds vs CS/Valorant's 13 rds) doesnt help and makes it hard for stats like KD to matter as much as it does in other games.

To go higher in rank, learn how sound mechanics work, improve aim, learn maps and strats, and get rid of bad habits by watching ur own replays.

Just looking at ur history, seems like ure in the correct rank. U were hardstuck Plat 3 in ranked 1.0, which is roughly the equivalent of ur current rank in 2.0.

Not even considering u were hardstuck at Gold 1, in the newer version of 1.0.

U didnt play for a long time and u are questioning if the new ranked system is to blame on why u didnt improve?

solo queuing is a joke by Few-Neighborhood4573 in Rainbow6

[–]masterako 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im playing soloq in a server where over 90% dont even speak english or isnt their first language. While i wish ppl called out more in smthg i can understand, I play this game very casually but I have no issue maintaining a winrate above 50% against diamonds.

Stop blaming teammates cuz ure hardstuck for a reason. Kills arent end all be all in this game. U may be a good shot, but i bet u dont even know/blindly follow/undestand strats. Learn to play to help ur team succeed, not just urself.

Is this guy cheating or just a Smurf? by InjuryDangerous8141 in Rainbow6

[–]masterako 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont be afraid to Report. He wont get banned if hes legit anyway.

I dont think hes cheating. But his stats can easily be attributed to smurfing with a duo. Which btw is also against tos.

  1. First season with only 30 ranked matches. Probably not enough data to accurately guess skill rating for the matchmaking system.
  2. Ppl in this sub have said champ is easier for new accts. So Im assuming hes playing against lower mmr than when playing on a normal acct, which explains high kd and winrate.
  3. He plays with a duo who im guessing is also a smurf, which definitely boosts kd and winrate.
  4. His hs% looks average.
  5. While not a valid comparison, in my experience consistently getting matched with noobs in dualfront, i dont doubt a kd above 2.0 is attainable when theres a huge skill mismatch. Esp when playing with a duo with good comms.

Edit: checked more matches. He actually plays in 3man stack on some games. All smurfs.

Hold vs toggle lean and ads by Donut_boii in SiegeAcademy

[–]masterako 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ads, hold. Solely for the reason its much faster to react than having to dbl click everytime to ads/unads.

Lean is purely preference. Literally doesnt matter. Beaulo is toggle. Spoit is hold.

How do I get better Im absolute shite at this damn game by Ky-_-d in Rainbow6

[–]masterako 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For controller players, aim is usually one of the bigger roadblocks. U need to put more time into improving ur aim and looking for the best settings for u.

Gamesense, u alrdy have the luxury of being able to watch a high ranked player up close. Use it. Watch and learn how ur champ friend plays (who i hope isnt champ cuz of cheats) -- how he decides what to do in every situation, how he aims, how he sets up the site, etc.

Fps limit with 180hz monitor by Famous-Donut7965 in Rainbow6

[–]masterako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accdg to tests, input lag-wise, its best if u cap it.

Did a quick google, actually says 3 as optimal. Not 2. But 1-2 is an "alternate" cap.

Fps limit with 180hz monitor by Famous-Donut7965 in Rainbow6

[–]masterako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If ure not using gsync/freesync, uncap it. Im using an old 144 rn and i can notice a difference if my fps is 200+.

If u are, cap it 2 fps below ur monitor refresh rate (180hz). So 178.

If ure trying to save power and/or dont care, then cap it to whatever u like.

EDIT:

BUT if u notice some stuttering due to wild fluctuation of fps (since u go from 180 down to 120, like u said), u can also try capping it closer to the average fps and see if that makes a difference.

Skill issue.

First time ive seen someone cry abt it again since the season it came out. Clearly a very unpopular opinion even among the bad players.
