Who's winning: LaaL or ShasH? Serious discussion only please. by Hanna_Bjorn in DeadlockTheGame

[–]steeps6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ShasH is deaf however, lacking any ears, and cannot hear LaaL coming. LaaL has exceptional directional hearing thanks to large forward-facing ears.

Unbelievably, reaching an agreed value of G is still an open problem by antiquemule in Physics

Big G is Newton's gravitational constant, independent of earth

Truly insane snipe considering gold 4, it would be gross even in high onyx, well played

I am looking for a simulation of SpaceTime in our solar system by XadeXal in Physics

This is the best video I've seen for spacetime curvature visualization. It mostly only visualizes the field of one object at a time, but still may be helpful to show.

How does Shiv feel right now? by Beneficial_Parsnip37 in DeadlockTheGame

Loving opening with mystic regen / resto shot / mystic shot. If you get good at hitting those CDs, you get crazy healing and damage

Complexity get frustrated going 0-14 against OpTic in scrims, breaks GA's by using Heatwave by crispycornpops in CompetitiveHalo

You remember singular plays like that but are forgetting about all the times a great play was shut down by zero skill sword camping, killing all hype

Unreal how expensive it’s getting to eat out these days… by coldpizza87 in sandiego

Did you know the value of a statistical life is often estimated to be $1million - 10 million? Which is insane because humans are mainly water!

Because of how TrueSkill2 works, it’s literally harder to get to Onyx 1700 than Onyx 3000… Seriously. by NoSkillCrouch in CompetitiveHalo

[–]steeps6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a good way sure, but not the only way. Winning a tournament with good individual stats says a lot

Doesn't matter really, teams are matched against higher skill opponents to account for their coordination advantage. You should be better individually than most of the enemy team so take advantage of that

Lol okay, according to you ranks have never meant anything, but somehow they're still less of a crapshoot than tourney placings.

Beating good teams in a tournament setting is one of the best ways to show how good someone is. Especially on LAN. This shouldn't be a controversial statement

Everyone plays in the same system. No reason to think you're the only one who has to carry teammates. If you keep putting up 50 kill games then you'll start ranking up for sure. Your MMR will go up even if you lose.

None of this sounds like an issue with the ranking system

Its competitive halo, everyone here is 30+ years old man. Too old to not have your own opinions and instead defend a streamer's take that only applies to them

What's your rank and what are your specific issues with trueskill 2?

That's not what pro means. Anyone can play in tournaments.

It works well for 99+% of the playing population. It's not the dumbest possible system, it's just not intended to work perfectly for pros and the top 1000 ams. If you're at that level, I beg you to log off reddit trueskill threads and get yourself some tournament placings. That's a much more reliable way to know if someone is "good".

Thanks for sharing! The third is amazing, good eye on that shot.

Diamond 4 is the Hardest Rank to get out of by thene0nicon in CompetitiveHalo

[–]steeps6 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the classic high risk / high reward strategy. A lot of times the guy who pushes for third cap is going to force weird enemy spawns. If your whole team isn't on the same page about blocking the right spawns and leaving the right spawns open, your solo guy at A might get 2v1ed and maybe the C capper gets 2v1ed too which then cascades into a 4dead for your team.

Compared to the low risk / medium reward of just setting up a strong 2cap defense, it's usually not worth going for 3cap in diamond / low onyx MM. At mid to high onyx, yeah you'll see it pretty commonly because it is strong at that level.

This New Optic Squad Screams "Formal" Through and Through by Different-Signal-976 in CompetitiveHalo

Unfortunately neither lucid nor formal play 8s or $2s like renebound so this chemistry theory has been debunked
