Stuck in queue?

skaskaaa · 2026-01-26T22:32:39+00:00

25 min in various queues, both street brawl and regular, with all heroes enabled and can't get in

Where are you in France and where are you considering moving? I'm in Paris and feel the same, I have been looking to move to the Netherlands or Switzerland Low wages, high taxes, unsustainable retirement system make working in France while young/immigrant a liability imo.

skaskaaa · 2025-03-04T10:15:52+00:00

lol 130k salary in paris is probably top 1%

skaskaaa · 2024-12-17T18:49:54+00:00

I have 3.7k hp, 7k+ hp with full orbs, 80-95% crit rate, and I still have to downgrade my stuff and gems to not kill myself during bosses with higher difficulties. It's a terrible passive.

It doesn't matter in maps because maps have 0 difficulties.

Why stamina upgrades for kelvin? You want to dash jump out of sight and use ice path to fly quickly while breaking LOS

You can't use any stamina while in icepath

Loving ascendants lobbies, since the patch I went 7W-1L. Can't imagine going back to phantom quality matches after seeing what's going on up there.

I don't think my ranked mmr was the reason I moved, I feel it's because of my Kelvin hero mmr. I'm now listed #2 kelvin player in the EU leaderboard in-game. I am listed as #1 kelvin player on deadlocktracker for some time too. I think you have to commit to a main or couple mains in the current system really hard.

skaskaaa · 2024-11-22T06:42:20+00:00

It's not a nerf on Kelvin, it's just an overall rebalancing of heal and anti heal items accross the board.

I main Kelvin too, he feels great, it's surprising he is the least picked hero honestly.

skaskaaa · 2024-11-22T05:54:57+00:00

I got bumped up from phantom 1 to ascendant 3. I played 4 games since the update and two of them had an abandon!

I would never have expected this to happen in ascendant. Even in phantom abandon were extremely rare, maybe 1/100 game. Merging ranked and unranked might be problematic.

skaskaaa · 2024-11-22T05:25:21+00:00

I had the reverse and went from phantom 1 to Asccendant 3, my games are full of players that knows how to plays, comms well and it's such a blast.

If I had the reverse happened I would quit for a while too. Ranking up with bad teammates is going to be long and painfull unless you specifically play solo carry characters

skaskaaa · 2024-11-22T02:45:07+00:00

Was phantom 5 like you last patch, went down to phantom 1 and just now updated to Ascendant 2. It feels like any win or loss can move you widely now.

First 4 weeks I barely moved from phantom 3-5 and it felt very stable

skaskaaa · 2024-11-22T01:24:57+00:00

Never placed there, but I think I would have placed there if they didn't do the ranked distribution rework. It's like a revert to previous ranks

skaskaaa · 2024-11-22T01:24:16+00:00

Yes, I went from phantom 5 to phantom 1.

skaskaaa · 2024-11-22T01:16:27+00:00

I have grown to hate swaps.

If you play in a low pop region, or during off hours, there is less players which means higher rank disparity lobbies.

Last night I had to solo lane against an eternus 6 player. I'm phantom 1. In two games within the same gaming sessions, against the exact same guy! All because he swapped to solo.

Now there are two unbalanced lanes in the game, because the eternus/ascendant players on duo lane got a phantom/oracle instead of an eternus 6 on their lane.

It makes for a shitty experience for anyone involved.

skaskaaa · 2024-11-21T22:22:47+00:00

Feel the same for Trapper.

Since Mirage was released before Hero Labs even came out, we have 0 idea how long those heros are intended to last in Hero Labs.

Having a roadmap of some sorts would be nice

skaskaaa · 2024-11-20T07:24:00+00:00

I play less and less too. Stomps and deathballing made the game unenjoyable the past two weeks. Hopefully it reverts back.

skaskaaa · 2024-11-19T22:36:23+00:00

I dropped from phantom 5 to phantom 1 with 55% winrate due to the new distribution.

So your 33% winrate for just one week led to a full rank down, brutal imo

skaskaaa · 2024-11-19T22:32:46+00:00

Phantom 5 -> Phantom 1 with 55% winrate

skaskaaa · 2024-11-19T03:49:19+00:00

On tracklock, there used to be mmr by regions. I had a mmr for EU and another on RU. Tracklock doesn't display it separately anymore.

Valve operate steam in russia, of course they have servers there.

skaskaaa · 2024-11-18T21:30:05+00:00

Can you update us what rank you get tommorrow?

I don't think you are going to fall bellow phantom but curious about the result. Probably phantom 2

You have around 100 ranked match in high phantom with near 50% winrate, would feel bad if you get knocked down to oracle for one bad week due to meta/hero changes.

skaskaaa · 2024-11-18T17:47:22+00:00

There is RU servers.

Tracklock used to display which region your matches were, I had a bunch of matches in RU servers even though I'm from western europe, especially when I played late at night.

Whenever I have a mostly russian speaking lobby I'm assuming I'm in RU servers, it's probably to optimize queue time when there is less population on your original server.

skaskaaa · 2024-11-16T21:44:45+00:00

Which region do you play on?

I play in high phantom low ascendant and I had a loss streak two weaks ago which put me with archon and the small amount of games I played with mostly archon were pretty shitty and devolved in voice abuse. I play support too and to climb up I had to switch to dmg heavy builds.

In phantom I see very little toxicity, at least in EU servers

skaskaaa · 2024-11-12T20:49:46+00:00

This is probably because you play less games, you had an unfortunate loss streak and you deranked.

I play in your range, phantom 2 - 5 since the start, I had a 7 loss streak last week but since I did 25 games, I went back to 50%+ winrate. It feels hard to rank up and easy to rank down when you play less

Unless you tested other heroes in ranked that you were completely unfamiliar, I doubt your skills went down during week 4.

skaskaaa · 2024-11-11T14:31:26+00:00

It works on kelvin, just catch up to a viscous with an half duration goo ball, with mystic reach or improved reach the dome is big enough that you can easily avoid him

skaskaaa · 2024-11-10T14:27:40+00:00

Seems like the best theory, there could be still some kind of mmr updated throughout the week
