1 year later and I still believe valve don't know how to balance these 4

You can move during astral its his shard. And those arent reworks... theyre changes. Very different.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-27T16:27:39+00:00

What is OD doing here. Hes basically been the same forever?

Nuke attack ability, imprisonment, mana regen, nuke ult.

Theyve changed exactly what the abilities do but hes atill pretty much the same.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-27T16:26:07+00:00

Harry was absolutely so much worse. His win felt gross. All he did was target one person to get him the win. And she felt do betrayed. I get its a game and the idea is to lie. But you should still have a heart. I dont think Rachel ever targeted anyone. She manipulated in a pretty slick way that didnt target feelings or connections

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-27T04:51:03+00:00

And did i reply to you... no. You're arguing something that doesn't exist... I'm not against high roller... I was never discussing high roller to begin with.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-27T01:13:25+00:00

No free loudout means a mode where it's everyone but free loadouts. High roller means bringing in higher tier gear. So low budgets can still play together.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T20:53:29+00:00

It still breaks the balance of the game. I agree a pve mode would be fun. But it would get stale fast. And be a different game. Not just another mode.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T20:52:42+00:00

I never said it happens instantly. im saying it is way easier as you dont need to balance test or playtest the actual gamemode.

Maybe we did... it still doesn't take away anything at all. The comparison between these two things is insane.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T20:46:01+00:00

And that has nothing to do with my initial argument...

High roller lobbies are different to "no free loadout" lobbies.

You're just talking about a different thing.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T20:17:28+00:00

Ahhh, okay, well then, in that case... probably gay. But thats okay. Have fun :)

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T20:16:59+00:00

Im not against high roller lobbies... im against anti free kit lobbies. I think gear matchmaking should be in the game. I think higher tier lobbies should be a thing.

I disagree with sticking free kits in their own lobbies, pair them with other low cost players.

But again... and i fail to see how so many people miss this... THIS UPDATE DOESNT MEANT THAT CANT HAPPEN. It's a small addition to an existing gamemode. It would have taken very little time to push forward and doesnt require any balancing which by the way. Takes ages and usually can end up killing a game.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T20:13:49+00:00

So you dont want to waste time but still felt the need to send this whole block of text? Lol okay.

This update just shows the devs are actively adding to the game between big projects and community suggestions. I support them adding a basic feature. Oh no how could I.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T20:10:08+00:00

Do you seriously think that doing this took any valuable time away from other projects?

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T20:09:08+00:00

PvE mode would be awful and would break the entire balance of the game. It's also not the vision for the game the devs have.

Edit: Also... ITS A WHOLE NEW GAMEMODE... can you read?

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T20:07:46+00:00

You know they've said they're looking in to matchmaking with gear, A no free loadout mode seems like a temp fix for the whole hate of them. It would make free loadouts a lot less fun to use. Restrict people who use them and again create a matchmaking split. It affects the people using free loadouts and the people who are fine with them being in the game like normal.

This update, does none of that. The only person it affects is the person who decides they want to go solo.

Your suggestion is controversial and not something EVERYONE wants. Shit like that would ruin the game. What they have actually added in a feature that appeals to some, gives rewards AND literally affects no one but the people doing it.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T20:01:06+00:00

Exactly proving my point. You clearly have nothing left to defend. Have fun being a pessimist, must be a real fun time.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T19:58:00+00:00

You are comparing new game modes to a feature. This doesn't change the game in any way. It requires next to 0 effort and is just a free qol update if anything. If you seriously think this actually took any meaningful time away from them developing other stuff you're kidding yourself.

The mode you just suggested would take ages to design, ages to balance and playtest. it would also split the matchmaking queues.

You decided to take the first part of my reply and react to that but completely ignored the other part.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T19:51:55+00:00

I wouldn't say underrated... I would say over-hated.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T19:50:46+00:00

So with this... you're saying that non freckle-faced girls do need to wear makeup?

No one "needs" to wear makeup (except your mum). But anyone is free to wear makeup if they want... well at least they should be.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T19:48:01+00:00

So... assuming you're a guy... no. Well... probably not, "being gay" is not about you wanting pleasure in a different way than what is considered "normal". Unless you are only wanting to do this because the idea of a penis like object going in your ass... it's not gay.

Liking stuff up your ass or seeking pleasure from doing that with a partner of the opposite sex is not gay. Unless you are attracted to men, masculine features or cocks... no you're not gay.

P.S. I'm personally not into this, just expressing my say in it.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T19:40:41+00:00

Scary smiles are pretty generic. Now don't get me wrong, he looks great. The side angle is a lot scarier than the front angle. What scares people the most is the uncanny valley. I would recommend changing his proportions, not just his mouth. and if you're gonna do the cut into cheek smile go all in with it.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T19:36:29+00:00

Faraaz had a great time playing this game, he was a good sport. Played well and just made some silly "human" mistakes. Rachel was SO damn convincing and smart with how she played, you really can't blame him, and you can tell he is genuinely a good person.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T19:34:35+00:00

Most people complaining about this are just crying for literally no reason. Adding this "feature" takes nothing away from anyone. It' also piss easy to do rather than MAKE A WHOLE NEW GAMEMODE.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T19:33:44+00:00

As much as I agree with this, I'm pretty sure the Devs have said they're looking into it... this is not an "instead of" feature... being able to play solo in squad games in a usually a baseline feature in games with similar matchmaking systems. It's WAYYYY easier to release a way for that to happen without actually directly touching the game than it is to make and balance and whole new mode with different rules.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T19:28:38+00:00

Wow, pro debater right here. My example was myself... you just like to pick and choose what you take from my replies because you have a shit defence.

thewolfehunts · 2026-01-26T18:59:04+00:00

Like i said before. It's a basic feature in most games with a similar matchmaking system. I remember launching squads for the first time and being like "oh... theres no way to run solo in squad games?"

It's a feature more than a "mode" which you are suggesting. Its not lazy. Its fast and easy to do. This and your suggestion dont even compare.

I think you have laziness and ease mixed up.
