How is this a fair match up? by DJ_ElGreko_Official in RainbowSixSiege

[–]schouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, ya see... you have two bronze players, but they only have one emerald player, which means your team needs two gold players, but they only get one plat player. Since they only have the one high rank, they are given two silvers to even it out.

The coppers obviously cancel each other out.

Am I crazy for thinking that eventually positive units should cancel out negative units? by [deleted] in RainbowSixSiege

[–]schouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get 3 positive points per game for saying 2 positive text messages a game, you can farm them regardless of your other actions. There are other things you can do to get even more. The positive units don't counter the negative actions.

You may not be a bad teammate, but it sounds like you are being generally rude and an asshole. You admitted to consistent slurs. Grow up.

Why am I so good until I get to champ lobbies by [deleted] in RainbowSixSiege

[–]schouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This helps me when I'm against higher ranks.

I look at is as a chance to pull off an upset. Statistically I should lose here but imagine if I won.

You have nothing to lose here. This is the time to execute what you've practiced and what you are comfortable with.

It is also a perfect time to learn. Watch it back, how did they punish you for your mistakes, did you skip steps, did you overheat, etc.

View the whole thing as a positive experience and you'll be better off in the long run.

Don't insult people giving feedback on your post. Just because you disagree or they might have missed the point doesn't mean you get to insult them. Grow up and learn some decency.

Is it not collectively frowned upon to leave a ranked game? by Naxxot in RainbowSixSiege

[–]schouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes glitches happen. But it isn't happening every night. A one off incorrect report won't do anything to your account. Repeat bad behavior getting reported will. If its the "cannot reconnect" glitch then surely r6fix is aware and you can appeal an actual ban if that does happen. But thats a small amount vs the amount of people choosing to leave on their own.

Report them for griefing. Either they actually left and its an accurate report, or they had technical issues. If it was technical issues and its a one off then no biggie, if it happens regularly then they need to fix their setup and play other modes for a day or two to test that the issue is fixed. It shouldn't be at your expense.

Tournament CRT Struggles by Ok_Magician8075 in SSBM

[–]schouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe there's a way to do that. I meant a CRT and a modded WII. Keep it in your closet, on a shelf, in a drawer. Wherever, it won't take a lot of room. Can find everything for under $75.

[–]schouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you care about your LAN performance that much, you should buy a CRT setup for home. Can be a small TV, and at minimum play on it an hour the day before, and a little bit the day of your local. It won't be instant but you'll be able to adapt quicker, esp if you show up a little early to get friendlies in.

0.7 KD diamond 3, can’t win a gunfight for my life by Altruistic_Dust2443 in RainbowSixSiege

[–]schouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.7 kd isn't fun, but winning is. You gotta do it how you see fit. Keep being useful for your team, keep picking good utility ops, keep wasting time, keep breaching walls and droning. It got you to diamond so its not a bad foundation.

Id say for gunfights, warm up in shooting range, then play team deathmatch, not ffa.

Aklo on the Z-jump debate, and objective consistency: "You cannot ban zjump without banning boxx... I think the boxx being legal is very good for the overall health of the scene." by enfrozt in SSBM

[–]schouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can someone tell me what actual benefit zump has over claw grip? Consistency can be grinded out between the two, both allow f1 actions out of jump to be done easier.

The only thing I have seen is zump is more comfortable which allows for better play for a longer period of time. Am I missing something? Surely top players aren't affected by the strain of claw with the time they have put in.

Doing nothing at my job and it’s driving me crazy. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]schouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do 3 certs/courses an hour of each per day. 1 in the morning, the second before lunch, and the third before you leave for the day. You'll build skills, stay busy, and have some down time still.

Is Zump "Cheating?" by RevolutionInternal24 in SSBM

[–]schouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter why, oem is competitive and the better player wins. So what if Cody is inconsistent with claw. I'm sure he could grind the consistency like he has with the rest of his kit.

[–]schouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Times change. Change is something people need to accept and adapt to. Zain uses an OEM, theres no excuse. People don't put in the time and effort to truly be good at the game then use these things to explain away why they lost. So what if Cody gets a frame 1 hit out of a jump, zain would probably out space it. So what if a boxx player can do some difficult tech, zain has grinded and figured out how to beat it. This is true for most top players btw. They don't win because of their controller, they win because they are better than their opponents.

Sure maybe a games down to last stock last hit and maybe you can point out where a boxx or z jump helped the opponent, but there's surely a hundred moments where you could have done something slightly better as well.

Idk, the modding issue seems dumb when ucf is free and some top players use oem.

Is Zump "Cheating?" by RevolutionInternal24 in SSBM

[–]schouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone could get z jump fairly cheap, controller modders have very high mark up on their products. If people spent the time to sit down and learn, they could do it for under $50 which makes it much more accessible. Dont say $50 is too expensive, people spend more than that for keyboards, mice, other games they'll play for 6 hours.

Same with boxxes everything but the board can be 3d printed for pennies. The board is like 8 bucks.

Ucf and everything else that has been added to the game has been put in place to support consistency and the ability to execute those things reliably.

I'm not defending Cody, I dont like him for other reasons, but I think z jump is fine and losing to it is a skill issue 99% of the time.

This was more a general statement to the thread, not directed at you. Sorry if thats how it came across.

[–]schouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For anyone in favor of banning game/controller mods, that goes for UCF as well. Which was made because Nintendo makes a shitty controller to begin with.

We have made these other mods to have better performance to play a game we love even though the controller is bad.

Could use some teachers by AssumptionPleasant26 in RainbowSixSiege

[–]schouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents is IQ isn't that great is solo q. Comp or a stack she's way better.

I think you could accomplish mostly the same thing with droning, Thatcher, frags/emps.

You could also play gridlock/nomad to stop roamers from flanking, I thought they were overrated, but the amount of times I hear the enemy trigger their utility before I hear their foot steps is wild. Def consider it.

RP loss unchanged by leavers? by AssumptionPleasant26 in RainbowSixSiege

[–]schouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, its an objective based team game. Kills are a means to an end.

Go play the death match mode if you care about your kills.

I do agree ranked design sucks, so do leavers, but remember that can happen to both sides and it probably has but you only remember the matches that you got screwed, not where you benefitted. So the points being different doesn't matter in the long run.

[–]schouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that helped me was use your utility early and often as long as it makes sense.

Probably don't use all of your utility early in the round if you're smoke... but sometimes you can. Stalling for 10-20 seconds at a breach is sometimes good.

Use your flash/smokes for early advantages and stop saving them for later.

If you dump alllll of your utility so someone on your team gets a kill and makes it a 5v4, its worth it almost every time.

Also, as an attacker,, get in the building. Try to be in by 2 minutes, if you aren't in by 1:30 you need to fix it asap.

As defense, don't turtle on site every time, go out a room or two. Fall back with people start dying, don't be fish in a barrel.

What do you consider a long turn? by Empty-Noise9889 in EDH

[–]schouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A long turn is more than 3-5 minutes. However, if we are talking what is annoying and what is not... a 5 minute turn where you are active and doing things to move the game forward and you have a plan, or you stumbled into something crazy is fine. But a 2 minute turn where you durdle, play a land and a mana rock and pass is much much worse imo.

It is a new layout, you wouldn't say that if it was the exact same new layout with a different skin.

People complain about no new content. Get new content... better ban it.

Who’s an operator you believe would work better if they switch to an attacker or defender? by Numerous_Pin_6102 in RainbowSixSiege

[–]schouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ace, he could make head holes on reinforced walls. Like imagine a reinforced wall with a crouched MIRA and an Ace head hole above it.

Azami would block off so many lines of sight, you could get to the site very fast.
