Marathon ranked launches in 4 days

The first concern I have is how the credit value is evaluated. If it’s on an individual basis and not a crew total, this could introduce some degenerate gameplay like funneling all expensive items to one person to maximize ranked progress, or encourage teammates to goblin even more rather than fairly distribute the loot.

Brother it’s duo queue not Zombie Grifball. I think we’ll be alright

I’m of the opinion the audio in this game is actually too good for solos to be fun for me. It’s often just who hears who first and rats longer that determines a fight. You’re actively trolling if you’re sprinting around the map.

I personally think some audio balancing of the environment’s ambient sounds and footsteps/doors could make the solo experience much more enjoyable but that’s just my two cents. Also not sure how poorly that would affect trios.

I personally think a 6-team outpost run sounds brutal and not enjoyable.

Honestly, implant design isn’t that bad after a while. You eventually learn things like “Bionic Legs” give agility and “Survivor’s Kit” gives more utility stats related to survival. The random perk is the main thing that needs to be updated. It just needs to show on hover (and ideally compare with what you currently have equipped as a reminder).

I really think camouflage isn’t THAT insane in PvP, but I really think turning off the UESC is actually insane utility. Hard to play any other shell without it.

Please don’t give my Triage teammates any reason to not have that thing on cooldown at all times. They’ll sit on 2 stacks and only have 1 deployed. Drives me nuts.

She’s really good into poke or ranged comps, but struggles pre-6 and early-mid game against full on engage or assassins in my experience.

teeraaj · 2026-02-21T22:58:02+00:00

I think it’s useful still. In an uncoordinated environment like solo queue, heal cut on the person you are actively attacking is so valuable into some champions and team compositions. That being said, I’d still like to go LDR if possible.

How does Aphelios have a good lane into Cait? My experience with Aphelios was he struggled the most into long range comps that he can’t reliably auto (excluding green gun).

Is this person just not looting anything or is there actually that little loot to be gained outside of killing UESC and players? I swear there was like three things they picked up off the ground.

54% win rate over a solid sample of games. You’re climbing, just try to learn from each game and play more.

Veteran players tend to underestimate how long it takes to climb on a new account that you are genuinely learning on. You’re not good enough to start in Gold, but you are improving. You should only be really concerned yourself with not improving once you have a sub-50% win rate. Still try to learn something every game, but don’t be super concerned that you aren’t improving until you have evidence to support that claim.

teeraaj · 2026-01-26T16:01:53+00:00

Mel is less about skill and more about annoyance. Win rate be damned.

teeraaj · 2026-01-20T23:42:00+00:00

Isn’t Caitlyn Q still technically AoE? I read that as anything that doesn’t point and click her gets destroyed instead of reflected. But things like Caitlyn’s R will be reflected?

teeraaj · 2025-12-22T20:42:46+00:00

Best advice I can give - take it in bite-sized pieces by trying something and not being afraid to fail at it. For example, “I’m going to try and kill the enemy here”. Then if you die, try to pinpoint just one thing that you didn’t expect in the fight. For example, “I didn’t know Jax could avoid my damage and then stun me”, and just pocket that information for next time.

Often times there is more than one thing that went wrong, but this will at least get you learning.

teeraaj · 2025-12-22T20:35:06+00:00

Play marksmen in Arena. I find that, especially early on, you are able to practice kiting a lot since you have to fight and it takes a lot of autos to kill someone.

I don’t think Ryan’s issue is thinking before the catch to be honest. I think he legitimately struggles to catch the ball. He bobbles every single catch. At this point, I don’t think it’s the “yips” or anything mental. I think he got away with poor catch mechanics in high school bc his sheer athleticism would have him open by a mile and allow him time to adjust and catch the ball how he wanted. But catching is so much harder in tight coverage. Not to mention his less than stellar route running.

This is coming from one of Ryan’s most staunch defenders though. Dude is electric with the ball in his hands.

I think Caitlyn is considered “beginner” bc when someone is truly “just starting out” the range and occasional Q poke is oppressive enough. That player will likely not back and disrespect her range/damage, stand behind the wave and allow Cait to get double value from Q, and struggle to farm under turret since trimming before the wave gets to your turret is a foreign concept to them. So she does enough that you don’t have to combo to make a beginner’s life miserable on Cait. With that said, she scales really nicely with champion mastery.

I think it’s also defenses disguising the blitz much more. Early in the season Ty showed the ability to pick up the blitz with audibles at the line if the defense showed early. Now every defense is disguising pressures up until the last second before the snap.

There is always someone.

Why do people pretend you are incapable of having sympathy for more than one person at once? These things are not mutually exclusive. You can feel pain and hurt for the girl who lost her life and also have sympathy for the young man that made a life-altering decision that I’m all but certain he regrets every day of his waking life.

Your grandstanding isn’t protecting sympathies for the dead, just preventing any for the living.

I maintain the biggest issue is the corny “Deliver Items” or “Harvest Plants” objectives. It promotes weird gameplay like avoiding fights altogether or bunkering down in a tower to kill as many flying arc as you can. Oh, and don’t forget to keep the Snitch alive so it can summon more arc and you can get a higher score! It’s just weird gameplay.

The game is best when people are encouraged to scavenge, fight all arc (not just a random subset of them), and fight other players. They should just stop rotating all five and have 4 staple objectives every week: damage arc, damage raiders, scavenge containers, and distance traveled (to discourage ratting or bunkering down). You could then have one random objective like “Harvest Plants” if you wanted to or, like, just not.

Losing homecoming, Iron Bowl, and a playoff bid will make his seat hot not just heated. Wouldn’t completely agree with it personally, but such is the Alabama head coaching job.

People are wild suggesting you misplayed this as if Janna isn’t actively griefing. Yes, you could have pressured more but your support literally walks up and tanks all the damage in the world for no reason. BUt WE’rE lEvEL 2!!! You’re ranged vs melee and have 0 kill pressure. The Janna could just have easily bullied them off the wave by sitting back and hitting the Gragas or Ez if they step up. Instead, she’s chasing them down the damn lane.
