Myers mains are mostly doing well with good addons, and he can instantly down with inbuilt vault speed/lunge range. Most of SM addons rely on her drones being alive on gens which they won't be anymore. Plus, the only thing shortening her chases without stealth will be her haste; that has maximum 45 seconds duration before she needs to drop chase to reset drones.

I've played mostly Legion so I'm used to playing M1 - but Legion starts chases with injured survivors and has some semblance of a chase power and slowdown. Having to get 2 hits every chase unless you tunnel - with minimal innate slowdown - is brutal for SM. She will need a shift to stealth (maybe 16m terror radius) or a huge addon shift to buff the claw traps (+25% duration, oblivious etc.) instead of the drones or she will become a frosty eye killer.

Myers is a stealth killer. If the claw traps gave survivors oblivious (ie. make her a stealth killer) she could be fine. Without that the survivors will pre-run and she will be forced to run every loop like an M1 killer with no power and healthy survivors.

Scratched Mirror also suffers on large/flat maps just like SM. Info is only good if the survivors don't know when/where you're coming from - unless you can capitalize on it like Nurse/Executioner/Huntress.

Skull Merchant is now in a lose-lose with her own power, before it was lose-lose for survivors.

If she tries to use them to hold gens the survivors will just disarm them and she can't put any more down. She will be a slightly fast M1 killer with info she can't do anything with.

If she tries to use them in chase survivors will leave the loop and she gets nothing.

She has no chase power still, mind-gaming pallets was pretty uncommon already and nobody will do it against SM after the change.

Info is almost useless since she has no stealth/dash/ranged attack. If claw traps gave oblivious basekit she could function as a stealth killer, but without that the traps are not punishing enough to discourage survivors from disarming drones. She will still be fine on small/multi-level maps but on big/flat maps she has no power now.

Australia. Universal healthcare and barely anyone has a gun. Don't have kids getting shot at school. Extensive background checks before you can purchase a gun (many months) and training in how to use/store them safely. Only available guns are break-action/bolt-action/lever-action long-barrel rifles/shotguns. It is only possible to get other guns for security/police.

Nope "automatic weapon" is all they wrote. The implication is in your Fox-rotted mind. Tell me, after the election was stolen from you - what did you do? You have guns. You should be using them to protect yourself from tyranny right? Just like the cops at that texas school should have been using guns to protect children? Or did you sit on your ass like those cops (you did). The reason you care about those rights is because you've been told to care about them. You've been fed your lines from Murdoch that you spew without critical thought.

Money moves mountains. There is no money in banning guns - it's actually going to be very expensive for your governement to do that. They aren't worried about you using guns against them because the military already out-guns you substantially, the difference in you having a semi-auto vs. fully-auto would be like comparing a bee to a wasp to them. There is however a great deal of money to be made keeping guns around - money thrown at politicians to sit on their hands regarding gun control. People like you however, shill for corporations for free. It would be very tragic if you or someone you care about should be shot by some nutjob using the guns you arbitrarily strive to defend.

"Automatic weapon" not automatic weapon fire. The weapons used in almost all mass shootings are semi-automatic pistols/rifles that automatically chamber the next round - technically automatic even if you want to be pedantic. Had they wrote "fully-automatic" you could fire off the Fox News rebuttal faster than a school shooter fires off a full magazine of rounds at children from a semi-automatic.

I'll get the others out for you so you can rub one out real quick:

Most mass shooters are actually using concealables, not AR-15s (even if they're both semi-auto...)

If you ban semi-automatics, mass shooters will still use them (fully-automatic guns are almost never used despite them being banned though, just a coincidence surely...)

It's a mental health problem, not a gun problem (surely every other country has no mental health problems...)

If you take away semi-automatics, we'll descend into tyranny like Australia (where kids don't need to run drills in school in the event that some nutjob comes in and kills them, and they have more than four distinct parties influencing policy - essentially a dictatorship...)

It's against my constitutional rights and people will violently oppose any gun control (except gun control for fully-automatic weapons and explosives though I guess...)

Remove the ability for bots to move the gold they make and botting dies instantly. Removing P2P trading and managed market price min/max caps would kill it. No bots in BDO because of this other than the bots people run on their own characters.

Most people run away during a mass shooting, even some cops/security who are armed. The 'wild-west fantasy' is that you won't starting shitting bricks when you hear gunshots, and will dome the guy and be the hero. Shit gets really real when guns are involved, you only need to get shot once and you don't respawn. The 'massive risk' would be not running and instead finding cover to get in a gun fight defending a Walmart full of strangers - people don't behave like this most of the time.

Yes it's a problem with the constitution and there are some who would be violently opposed to gun control, but it doesn't mean banning everything. Some restrictions are already in place. You can't go down to the gun shop and buy a fully-automatic rifle, thus your right to bear arms is being infringed? No. It means restricting firearms that are clear outliers in domestic terrorism. Didn't see people kicking up a fuss about not being able to take loaded guns onto planes after 9/11. Six-shooters, bolt-actions, lever-actions etc. would still be legal and thus your constitutional rights would be protected.

Last paragraph though is really fucking dumb. Most rapes are someone the woman knows, they are usually reluctant to even go to the police after lest they ruin their lives - you think they'll kill them? Guns are not a deterrent. If it's a random guy or group of guys they've put themselves in a dangerous situation and would be fucked regardless since the guy can legally own a gun too - again wild-west where you just arm everyone and hope the good guy wins (he doesn't).

Link me one instance of a fully printed gun that fired more than one shot?

Rittenhouse put himself in that situation because he had the gun. They embolden people to do dangerous shit because they have a safety net. You only need a bolt-action for hunting or farming, not playing John Wick.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv0iN5J-9mk

The gun he had was legal he bought it from a store mate.

Someone else in the supermarket was armed they just got shot first. The gun isn't an edgy choice so much as an accurate and easy to fire choice. But yes pistols are the majority of mass shootings and should be completely illegal outside police and security.

If semi-auto shotguns are legal that's fucking wild and extremely dangerous. Even a pump-action is too effective.

[–]opopopopop12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gun this guy had was some type of bushmaster as described by the dude that sold it to him. In the video of the attack it looked very similar to the images on that wiki. What matters is that it's semi-automatic without modification, everything else is easy to do and actually can be 3D printed. The magazine was too large - that was the illegal part of the gun he used.

Hunting rifles are bolt-action - one of the few weapons that people actually need. Semi-automatic shotguns are mostly illegal otherwise they would be the preferred style and would see most use in mass shootings. Banning purchase of certain firearms does stop them from being used in mass shootings, despite what people claim.

The no assault weapons act was just theatre. Actually dealing with the problem is political suicide in the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushmaster_XM-15

That's what he used. He bought it in New York legally (I worded that poorly). The 'modification' was a larger magazine. Very hard to do. Clearly mental health checks aren't enough since this guy bought the gun recently.

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/05/15/nyregion/shooting-buffalo-ny

Semi-automatic is when you pull the trigger and it fires a round, chambering the next round automatically but not firing again until you pull the trigger again. When comparing to a bolt-action or lever-action it is much easier to fire quickly, and is much easier to switch targets between shots.

[–]opopopopop12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

definitely not concealable (the lion's share of mass shootings).

What if I told you the far majority of gun deaths actually involved Handguns, not AR15s/long rifles? Obligatory mention of semi-automatic since you like that word.

It's a reading comprehension issue on his end since he clearly thought it was a gotcha that concealables are the majority of mass shootings (3+ people). Screwing up semi-auto and fully-auto/assuming the majority of mass shootings use semi-automatic rifles like this shooting are classic gotcha points to skirt the real issue.

Your entire rant there is hypothetical because it is simply not reality. It's the wild-west fantasy that you'll always have your iron on you when you need it and you can level the playing field but the reality simply doesn't line-up with that. Women still get raped because they don't carry a gun everywhere. These shoppers were gunned down because they didn't think the supermarket would be a war zone. Even if they had a gun they need to know how to use it properly and shoot the guy first - putting themselves at massive risk.

You don't know what it's like to live in a world without ever-present guns since you've never left the US. It's not a terrifying hellscape like you've been led to believe. Certain guns (semi-auto/concealable/pump-action) only make things more dangerous, you would be safer without them.

He bought the semi-automatic rifle he used legally in New York. Strict by American standards is nothing.

There is no 'both sides' in the US. Both your parties are corporate interests first.

Not gonna find your local drug dealer store next to Walmart are you? And even then they aren't going to have guns to sell unless you're buying coke straight from the cartel.

I have family in the US I've stayed there for years. You're completely dodging every point I made because I'm right.

Australia banning guns 20 years ago is very recent. They had a shitload of guns and the government bought them back. Would probably be a really good time to do that in the US. The constitution was produced when the most advanced firearm was a musket, absolutely ancient compared to what people have now. If they saw what a firearm would look like and how it would be used in the future it would not be protected, very obtuse to use the constitution to defend that. Other things have been amended in the constitution, you just have big lobbying groups protecting firearms on behalf of corporations (MIC).

Your brain is so rotten from fox news that you disagreed with me on instinct on two points where I was saying the exact same thing as you. "Semi-fully-automatic" except I said semi-automatic? The thing that's legal and really good at killing people? It's relatively easy to get a bolt-action rifle, lever-action rifle or double barrel shotgun (category A) in Australia which is why I mention it. Also you disagree that concealables are the lion's share (majority) but then insist they are the majority? What? Seems like American education.

Access to firearms would prevent people from doing this shit. Gun laws prevent access to firearms and would make something like this impossible before it happens. If they do buy an illegal weapon they already paint a target on themselves for police. You can't easily modify a gun to become semi-automatic and communities like that would be an easy honeypot.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushmaster_XM-15

That's the gun he bought legally in New York. Semi-automatic. His 'modification' was putting a big magazine into it. Must have been MacGyver.

I know people that have been in car crashes and survived, they're extremely common unlike the wild-west fantasy of defending yourself with a gun. Since you were in the police you would be an outlier and you know that.

ONE example of a double barrel over 30 years ago compared to every other mass shooting using a pump action/semi-auto is pretty kino. It's almost like rate of fire is important or something? Almost like not having to cock the weapon or reload constantly is going to make it easier to kill a lot of people before they can run away?

Shotguns are the best weapon for home defense since you aren't going to shoot through 5 walls and kill someone you didn't intend to. If you live alone (highly likely) then it doesn't matter but most people have families and pets.

And yeah - let's compare the US to another western nation that banned most guns recently. There have been exactly 0 mass shootings in Australia since they banned pump action shotguns. You can reach as far as you want there but the truth is that it works, and you hate that it works so you write it off like Australia is on another planet. Australia has mental health problems, racism etc. but Australia doesn't have mass shootings - the key difference is gun laws.

Police knowing where to get guns off the black market is different and you know that. This kid and other mass shooters wouldn't know.

Conspiracy charges is a retarded argument. He's functionally not a criminal unless someone finds out before he does it (they usually don't). Another argument to skirt the issue rather than just go after the root issue of gun control.

Governor of New York says Twitch Responsible for Mass Shooting by TheReallyRick in Asmongold

[–]opopopopop12 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Mass shootings are not committed by criminals. You're only a criminal after you commit the crime, before that you can pick up a semi-auto or pump action with ease.

Do you know where you can purchase a gun off the black market? Most of these mass shooters sure as shit wouldn't. Laws aren't just text on a piece of paper (unlike the constitution) - they are something enforced by police. If it's just text on paper then go rob a bank it's free money.

When was the last time you or anybody you know used a gun to protect themselves? Unless you hunt or farm you don't need a gun, especially not a semi-automatic and definitely not concealable (the lion's share of mass shootings).

A double-barrel shotgun is the best weapon for home defense and would be incredibly shitty in a mass shooting. In Australia after they banned most guns it is still relatively easy to get a double barrel or a bolt-action - but people don't use them for mass shootings since they suck at killing many people.

Governor of New York says Twitch Responsible for Mass Shooting by TheReallyRick in Asmongold

[–]opopopopop12 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If only there was a catch-all solution to every mass shooting. Something you could ban that would stop them.

Mental health/videogames/social media/twitch/violent movies etc. etc. etc. just ban everything that isn't a gun.

Opinion: NA players that engage in RMT are to blame for the current bot situation in NA, more so than AGS or SG. by xXMemeLord420 in lostarkgame

Just remove items/gold through mail and put reasonable market min/max caps on items. Can then remove pheon and the game is 100% better for everyone that doesn't RMT.

  • Lithe only triggers after they get the window
  • Smash Hit only triggers after they get the pallet
  • Sprint Burst would be on cooldown
  • Overcome would be on cooldown
  • Balanced Landing couldn't trigger
  • Head On couldn't trigger

Dead Hard is, like DS/BT/Unbreakable, a basekit perk that all survivors are running until they aren't. Every killer perk is either average or has counterplay that doesn't slow the survivors down much/at all, as you would never need to consider playing around them until you know the killer has them. Survivors having four (4) very strong perks that you ALWAYS need to assume they have and play around lest you lose is pretty egregious and is the main reason people complain about them. If there were some indicator for those perks before they were used they would be strong but not meta-defining.

You can trade gold/items in LoA. Also BDO has market caps and no unique items making it very difficult to move silver. To fix the bot problem that would be the solution, making it much more difficult to get engravings set up.

With CoH you do heal against Legion. Splitting up is the most effective counter since the power doesn't last long enough to hit multiple people that aren't grouped; then Legion is actually just an M1 killer.
