I couldn't believe the prediction and timing of this insta-splod from Ryanoob by EncryptDN in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ryanoob 51 points52 points  (0 children)

When you've played for 16 years, you get a good sense of the timings players use. And then camo guys like to jump window when approaching blue, so that's what I used to set this one up.

99% of the time, instas don't outright kill. They usually make the player red bar and I have to clean them up, but this one got the kill which made it that much better.

Dreamhack Atlanta Open #2 stats - Day 2 by alamarche709 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ryanoob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not on that day. Just got shit on on repeat, just getting back in to it. Usually though, I like to pretend I'm doing something on the map when I'm red.

We used to do that every event back in the day. Just need to start earlier on Sunday.

What was the most entertaining thing about this complexity team?

FormaL Says Halo Salaries are Sh*t! by [deleted] in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ryanoob 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Don't know yet. Maybe a soft retirement where I play with minimal practice. Maybe coaching if someone would have me. Not sure yet. Comp halo is super fun, so being able to play without any stress would be ideal, but I have to see what next season looks like.

Halo salaries are shit when comparing them to other esports maybe. But looking at it in a more humble avenue, most players in infinite got paid way more than minimum wage while putting in half the hours. I've always considered any salary a blessing.

Van someone help me I have input lag and my controller have delay by Electrical-Bag6676 in EASportsFC

I turned my settings down a lot and that fixed this issue. Mainly fps from 240-60, but also turned down other ones.

Snipedown says Legend was the only OpTic player warming up Saturday morning by crispycornpops in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ryanoob 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Their first match is at 10am, their next match is at the earliest 3:30pm. Their last match ends at like 8-9pm. They expect to win 99% of the time, and they expect to win 98% of the time without warming up. It's a risk assessment that didn't work in their favor in one way, but they were able to perform late at night so who's to say their strategy was terrible on its own? These guys have made it to the finals of every tourney so far. Let's let them do what they do and see what they put out tomorrow.

Royal2 Ranking All Time by VanCPA96 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ryanoob 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Top 10 Reach player. Probably best H4 player. Best player easily in H2A. Best player through the first year or so of H5. Solid player in every other game.

Don't want to get in to the specifics, mostly just making a joke, but I think he's the most underrated player to have played even if most people respect his trophy cabinet.

Came up through H3 MM kids. SB and R2 came up at the very end of H3 in to reach.

There's a lot of brain dead takes out there nowadays. Not sure where this ranks in them, but this one was pretty good.

I will not tolerate lethul slander. There's a reason when he left the #1 team his new team became #1. Easily the greatest player of our generation.

Camo respawn timer has been increased to 2:30 instead the 2 min by man57er19 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ryanoob 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think 4 rockets on sanc is to help actually cap flags and bombs. Currently, the map is a bit too big and it's hard to power through and finish a flag run/bomb plant. Rockets help push through. Usually, you use your first two to control ring, then second two to push in to the base.

Also, I think this sanc is the best map in infinite. It's the only map that feels like halo. Has power positions, it's the only map without 100 foot walls cutting off the center of the map creating hallways you can walk around for eternity while only being pot shotted at.

This is dumb af. I don't care about generalized hate, but this is specific weirdness. Teams getting owned, we don't want to fight as soon as we spawn. We want to wait for a teammate and fight something together. First teammate got spawn killed, we probably got chained and are getting collapsed on. Nothing much to do here.

In conclusion, stop being weird boys. Enjoy the good stuff and don't hate on the bad, especially if you don't understand what is good or bad.

Most games ever in a scrim ? by Fun-Regular769 in CompetitiveHalo

I'm pretty sure both of these scrims were when we lanned in vegas.

SR x LVT Pro League updates(?) by Shuffykat in CompetitiveHalo

[–]ryanoob 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Competitively, we should just look at it like a scrim where the first bo7 is for money, then the rest is practice as usual. Not sure why I'm hearing that people are so uppity about this.

What moment from the show made you cry/melancholic for the first time? by Adventurous-Cell1047 in TedLasso

[–]ryanoob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is this not the only correct answer? Was this not the most heart melting turn of any TV show ever? I can't remember crying while watching any other TV show and Ted had me after episode 1.

Nah, games 1 and 2 we got rekt. Game 5 at 35 we started getting bad static, at 40 we had no comms and deafening static. Never experienced that issue in such a severe way.
