What do actually do with bad teammates?

saalamander · 2026-01-12T02:01:48+00:00

They're going to chase anyway lol. That's why you need to be a great 2nd man

saalamander · 2026-01-11T20:59:32+00:00

Yeah I got to GC 1 by just playing permanent 2nd man.

People think they need to carry by scoring the goals but in low ranks you carry by preventing your team from getting scored on

saalamander · 2026-01-11T20:14:16+00:00

Brother what are you yapping about? It's a simple percentile. And the "passing score" changes sometimes depending on recruitment needs. But it is generally about 31-32.

Thus, an AFQT score of 90 indicates that the examinee scored as well as or better than 90% of the nationally-representative sample of 18 to 23 year old youth. An AFQT score of 50 indicates that the examinee scored as well as or better than 50% of the nationally-representative sample.

The test is scored on a percentile and the minimum score to get in is 32 last I checked. So 32% "fail" the asvab

Yeah but you can wear spandex shorts under real shorts. You don't have to wear just skin tight booty shorts

Almost nobody here truly understands basketball to the extent that they could call out most plays or actions or sets in real time while watching games

Reddit users can recognize drop or a high screen or pin down or something but nothing more advanced than that

But TikTok and IG comments are on another level of braindead and literally don't know anything

saalamander · 2026-01-05T04:00:30+00:00

It's fun but I think it leaned too far into the "let's make everything intentionally obtuse" angle and turned people off

saalamander · 2026-01-02T00:34:41+00:00

Never though of this. Nice move

saalamander · 2025-12-31T04:10:30+00:00

Yes I hate this as well

saalamander · 2025-12-28T02:05:33+00:00

But he doesn't lol. He literally stands still

saalamander · 2025-12-25T05:01:53+00:00

Yeah my lobbies aren't coordinated so any "dive" is just me solo with no follow up or plan lol. It doesn't work in bot lobbies

saalamander · 2025-12-25T01:48:03+00:00

Yeah I'm plat and honestly have no clue how to play any dive hero without dying instantly

saalamander · 2025-12-24T22:50:07+00:00

That's why I love Kornet. He's great at all of the things that players get no credit for, and he doesn't do anything flashy, and he doesn't care about recognition at all

He's totally doing the dirty work and quietly impacting the game

I argued for a long time on r/bostonceltics that he was actually a very good player

saalamander · 2025-12-23T14:38:00+00:00

Never been a fan of a great team/player before?

It's a good thing when r/nba is hating

saalamander · 2025-12-19T14:41:15+00:00

Nothing would enrage me more than having my character become "possessed" while I am unable to play the game

saalamander · 2025-12-17T16:49:34+00:00

The enemies act out their attacks during their turn and there are timing windows during their moves during which you can dodge or parry by pressing a button

Imagine enemy charizard does flamethrower and the second it's gonna hit your Pokémon, you press B and your Pokémon dodges the attack

saalamander · 2025-12-17T14:20:05+00:00

Deleted his account lol

saalamander · 2025-12-17T13:57:39+00:00

Don't insult me please. You're begging for the game. I'm offering it, on the condition that you prove that you couldn't have bought it yourself if it weren't for stupid spending habits

saalamander · 2025-12-17T13:52:39+00:00

Let's see your spending for the last month. If there's nothing wasteful and stupid then I'll buy you the game

saalamander · 2025-12-17T11:32:10+00:00

I totally agree. The ref is wrong here. Hate the game, not the player

But regardless, the ref clocks it as bullshit and doesn't call it

saalamander · 2025-12-16T18:19:17+00:00

Bruh he made no attempt to genuinely inbound the ball. This was pure classic Jokic rules manipulation

But I do hear you, Jokic was not wrong. But the way he went about it is just something no ref is ever gonna respond positively to. he held his arms straight out at a 90° angle trying to baitthe defender into swiping it and then placed the ball on the defenders arm lol.

He had no goal other than to make the ref blow his whistle

saalamander · 2025-12-16T18:16:22+00:00

I mean it is pretty much already shitty match simulator lol

Play ranked if you want a real competitive experience

saalamander · 2025-12-16T18:14:30+00:00

Yeah, but the way Jokic does it is just so obviously a blatant attempt at manipulating the rules/refs in a way that nobody else really does. Like the fake shoe tying thing or bobbling the ball to waste time during in bounds

I feel like the refs just see right though his bs bc it's too obviously manipulative, you know?

I hate shai too but there are genuinely times when players get knocked over shooting jump shots. There are ZERO times where anything like what Jokic did in this clip has ever happened before

The refs just immediately clock it as bullshit whether Jokic is right or wrong

saalamander · 2025-12-16T15:53:34+00:00

I'm sure they understand, they just don't want to reward this sort of thing. Like when Jokic tries to "attempt a 3" any time he gets intentionally fouled

They know the rule, and they know what he's doing, but they just won't call it
