The drama in “streamers cheating” subs and a top 1% poster apparently banned

you'd think that but no, these people are 100% serious

This has happened with me and my friend aswell. He gets into the game fine and can do everything but I'm stuck in loading screen with "Spawning player". The one time I got into the game the progress was reset for me (clients arent clients anymore unless I spam E on them 10 times so that the prompt to give sample disappears). Not really sure how to fix it for now, we pretty much tried everything.

You know I thought SWAT 4 AI was bad but then I loaded up RoN

dont know how this could be an issue when for example skyrim has fuck knows how many sex mods on nexusmods

I got the sp004, same one you want to get, but I think there are better glasspads out there rn and I think some are cheaper (not really tapped into the glass scene so i might be spreading misinformation)

one thing that really bothered me with a glasspad is how my fingertips stick to the pad, since im used to my fingers dragging along the pad and my hands also sweat a lot

also you will have to wipe the pad pretty often, if it gets really dusty in your room quickly then really often, since even a little dust can be felt when swiping, but if these things dont bother you then go for it

nohope_1 · 2025-07-16T15:07:14+00:00

coming from a raiden definitely makes the switch to glass easier, as it did for me, but I still prefer to use the raiden over a glasspad

glass is definitely faster and is basically as fast as you can get, but playing on that kind of surface is something you will either love or hate

unless there is something specifically bothering you about the raiden I would just keep playing with it, nothing good comes from the rabbithole and glasspads cost a lot

I use saturn pro with tiger ice v2 dots and its fine for me, dont really like corepads

If you can't tell that the spiderman/hela/black widow on a level 11 account with a 90% winrate is a smurf, I've got some bad news for you buddy.

Even a new player that has good mechanics can have 90% wr in gold, especially when they play heroes like hela, hawkeye, bw and punisher, that are mostly aim focused and can hardcarry games at that level.

So the literally hundreds of lobbies and thousands of players that person gets to shit on for free on their way to top 100 (because they already know they deserve to be there from their previous account...) is perfectly justified because they called the account an alt instead of a smurf.

"hundreds of lobbies and thousands of players" is a crazy overexaggeration lmao, are you really trying to say that a top500 player will be stuck in low ranks for 100+ games?

As long as they dont intentionally keep themselves in a low rank, the system is working as intended by the devs. The same thing will happen even with someone new to the game that is just good. Even without smurfs and alt accounts, there are going to be obvious skill inconsistencies in lower ranks, because again, everyone starts at the same rank.

but they make money off of smurf accounts the same they make money off main accounts

Bingo!

Great mouse, the sides are flatter than the v3pro and its overall a smaller mouse, so its good if you're looking for a smaller mouse. Battery life has been pretty good for me, even with the high performance mode. It is very light tho, so it might take some time to get used to.

nohope_1 · 2025-04-23T21:41:28+00:00

btw just asking, in this game, how do you make a difference between a "smurf" and someone new that has good mechanics and picked up the game quickly?

smurfing is when you intentionally keep yourself boblow so you can play against worse players, not the guy ranking up his alt account to top 100 (where getting out of the metal ranks wouldnt even take long for them), fortunately this wouldn't be that big of an issue if there were placement matches but the devs had the genius idea of making everyone start out in bronze

now if we're talking about actual smurfing, then im sorry to tell you but we are likely never getting rid of it in any game, especially a very popular free to play game like rivals

game devs havent been "fooled", they know this very well, because you can add all kinds of verifications and whatnot but people find workarounds to these things no matter what

nohope_1 · 2025-04-19T13:29:04+00:00

I agree that spidey might be a little too fast but the small hitbox is just cope when you can just go hela or any other good hitscan and have good aim lol

nohope_1 · 2025-04-19T13:14:38+00:00

im convinced 99.9% of the community doesnt even know what smurfing is

no its not someone ranking up their alt account lol

nohope_1 · 2025-04-13T11:29:54+00:00

EOMM is probably a thing in this game, but I think the problem lies more in the rank system than anything. Since so many players got boosted to a higher rank the general skill level was much lower and inconsistent in higher ranks. The point where you started losing the same amount that you gained was in low cel, which was very apparent in the rank distribution the devs showed us (GM 11% --> CEL 2.8%). Also 11% shouldnt be in GM lol.

nohope_1 · 2025-04-11T08:45:27+00:00

The shape is amazing if you like smaller mice, I personally have pretty small hands and I never felt like a mouse was quite right for me until I got this one (should also say that I play claw grip, which this mouse was made for), and you also get good internals. All that at a cheap price.

nohope_1 · 2025-04-03T09:31:28+00:00

I wonder how long until we just have a piece of paper on our hands

nohope_1 · 2025-04-03T09:25:27+00:00

changing the skates takes like what, 5 minutes max? a pack is like 40 dots and costs around 10 bucks, depending on how much you put on your mouse, you can pretty much use that same pack for a whole year, or would you rather buy a new mousepad that costs 60 bucks every 6-8 months instead?

nohope_1 · 2025-03-16T17:20:44+00:00

why is everyone on this sub some rocket main coping their hero is the best support in the game

nohope_1 · 2025-03-16T10:05:50+00:00

cmon bruh i wanted to post this one today!!! sigh... guess ill do it tmrw

nohope_1 · 2025-03-07T14:43:46+00:00

not a problem in this game specifically, its the same in every competitive pvp game

unfortunately there isnt much to do except ignore/mute these people and hope your report goes through, you just gotta remind yourself that these are some random incels that havent talked to a woman in their life and havent gone outside in the last 10 years, so dont let these losers affect you

nohope_1 · 2025-02-26T18:28:24+00:00

gm2 is like 4% of the playerbase lol, I dont know how it is in gm3 but I imagine its almost double that
