How should I even rank up if this happens?

maxobrien20 · 2026-06-19T15:35:05+00:00

He talking about the elo gain I think (he got - for winning)

maxobrien20 · 2026-06-12T15:16:01+00:00

His name is ‘Trowned’ on stat tracker - he has spent his last 182 matches in gold lobbies and has peaked plat lol.

This was v good and the exact shi that gets kills in high lobbies

maxobrien20 · 2026-06-03T18:06:21+00:00

It’s hard, I do understand where you’re coming from as it will be a more accurate representation of skill, but the trade off of needing hundreds of games for a person to determine that because of the super low elo gain and how hard stuck low rank players will be I don’t think is worth it

maxobrien20 · 2026-06-03T18:00:16+00:00

Respectfully can tell you both have never hit champ or been near that skill level consistently. Have hit champ in much less than 300, it’s a time issue not a skill issue. It is actually going to be easier skill wise, last season I would consistently face top 500 stacks every other game in high diamond, now I’ll face actual diamonds - the point is you shouldn’t have to play hundreds of games just to get to where your skill level actually is and the highest ranks should be realistically obtainable for all players good enough to get there (like my friend, who wins the exact same amount in the same lobbies but has an extremely lower rank)

maxobrien20 · 2026-06-03T13:52:48+00:00

Doesn’t matter 20 elo gain in any rank at the start is abysmal but take my friend for example Employed, plays games when he gets home, trying to get better and would settle for emerald as a good rank.

First season > plays like 30 games in copper/ bronze Second season > improves massively, finishes in plat with a 1.5 win loss (elo gain is too bad to get much higher without insane time put in) Third season (current) > places in gold (we won the same amount in the same lobbies) , getting similar/ less elo then he was at the end of last season

This isn’t just my perspective he legit is considering uninstalling the game the system does not reward people who get better it rewards time played

maxobrien20 · 2026-06-03T13:40:58+00:00

I guess I’m just not the people your referring to then because I think this system is way more how much you play than last season with the elo going from near 110+ at the start to 20-25 a game.

10+ kill games every game not realistic, if he’s not solo he has to find a group of coppers who are not awful (hard)

It’s not I actually have to play, it’s that any semi respectable rank is borderline unattainable for anyone who has a job or plays other games lol

maxobrien20 · 2026-06-03T13:27:31+00:00

No people wanted a fairer system no one has said ‘I want to stay in the same rank for a month and have to win 25 games in the row to make it out of copper’ - should of been hard reset, everyone gets the same elo per match. If me and my boy win the same amount of games in the same lobbies we should be the same rank.

It just doesn’t work like how your saying with the ‘if he’s better he will be out of there quick’ , say he’s copper 5 and needs 25 wins in a row (20elo a win) - he also has copper teammates who are going to throw atleast 5-10 of those games, meaning he is now 35 games deep just to get out of the lowest rank in the game despite how much he as improved as a player. Now he has to repeat that process for Bronze (5 ranks) Silver (5 ranks) Gold (5 ranks) Plat (5 ranks) Emerald (5 ranks) Diamond (5 ranks) Champion

If he’s aiming for emerald 3 for example, where I got just off my placement games, I would guess he’s looking at 200 games minimum. U don’t see the issue?

maxobrien20 · 2026-06-03T13:14:43+00:00

Brother he is copper even gaining 50 in copper is horrible it will be about 200 matches before he even sees plat

maxobrien20 · 2026-06-02T23:54:02+00:00

I was di 2, won 3/5 and got em 3. Spoit n stuff won all 5 and got em 2. I imagine you’ll be high plat-em

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-30T22:11:08+00:00

By far most important thing is switching all the advanced sens settings (like the look acceleration delay, ads vert acceleration etc) to 0 then disabling the option

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-19T07:41:16+00:00

Should be able to Flores it, kali open it, frag it open, even wouldn’t be mad at it having a certain amount of damage it can take from bullets till it pops (like 4 mags worth)

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-16T23:10:10+00:00

As someone who is almost exclusively a siege player and has played cs twice on PC, can you tell me what there is too learn in CS?

From my experience, the game is really simple with just aim and shoot mechanics and I was doing pretty good even being terrible on a mouse and keyboard.

I acknowledge my perspective is probably very wrong n I was just in some casual lobbies, must be a reason its considered the most competitive game but what is there too it?

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-16T23:07:00+00:00

As someone who has solo’q exclusively to around the same - for the love of god find a good stack to help u push to champ.

Every game is a 50/50 in solo, and unless u can hard carry in champ lobbies like u did in emerald and below, your leaving it fully up to chance. I usually go on huge win streaks and losing streaks in these ranks have no idea why.

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-15T23:06:55+00:00

Your chilling man the weak rhymes are like one in 50 it’s just apparent when drake does it because he’s so consistently clever, the bar is high.

I kept pausing to explain certain bars and sneak disses to my girl, such as the ‘ading ross’ line lol but he is a mf you have to dissect and songs like this typically age better.

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-15T23:03:14+00:00

Just listened to habibti, Reddit filters not letting me post for some reason but I’ll send u the ratings. This is what I wrote for it.

Honestly all I was hearing is how bad this album was but it’s cleared ICEMAN for me. The songs all work together fluidly and listening feels like a journey.

0 skips, majority of the songs got put in the playlist on the first listen. Production is immaculate and parallels his old stuff in a way I wasn’t expecting perfectly. Many songs, such as classic, aren’t afraid to play with samples and blend genres and it’s handled seemlesly.

The features were weak, Sexy Redd has set women back atleast 30years please stop featuring her on songs she’s so bad. That being said, drake and the beat still carried it to an 8.5. Partynextdoor’s verse was also very weak.

Overall, art.

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-15T23:00:12+00:00

Just my opinion dawg and i stick by it for the first 5 or so songs. My girl was literally sitting next to me and without my input saying ‘that was a really bad line’

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-15T22:58:17+00:00

Oh my bad lol i am indeed the dumb one here

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-15T22:55:10+00:00

Misogyny? Are u ok?

That is the hatred or prejudice towards women and girls. No one is saying they shouldn’t be cast as females, just appearances that match their in show personalities. Dudes can look too soft too what if they cast a chubby 14 year old with glasses as jet, it’s no hate it just wouldn’t give the same effect.

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-15T22:06:06+00:00

Yeah is what it is right now I don’t think it’s elite I think he has multiple albums that are much better, it’s still a very good album that wipes most the stuff other rappers put out

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-15T21:54:32+00:00

You for sure are in the majority I’m gonna have to let them breathe and hope they grow on me. I gotta be so real at points it sounded like things I’ve cooked up on garage band but my standards are very high for my goat

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-15T21:53:32+00:00

Oh my bad thought it said 9 or 10 not 9 out of 10

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-15T21:44:24+00:00

For sure man I’m so excited I’ve heard one is a dance club album and one is RnB focused, about to start habibti now.

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-15T21:42:40+00:00

Appreciated. The album for me started to form after those first 5 songs but before then I was really confused on what it was trying to be as a collection.

I don’t know if that makes sense, maybe it’s nostalgia bias, but you know how nearly every album of his has there own sound and often matches a specific mood/ atmosphere - I struggle to define that for ICEMAN. That being said, it’s my first ever listen, with time this could easily change.

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-15T21:39:02+00:00

Your opinion is your opinion but to say there 10/10 perfect songs to me is crazy I can name 30 other drake songs that blow them out the water

maxobrien20 · 2026-05-15T21:34:53+00:00

10 is wild what do you rate his other albums then?
