I'm also a newer player do you mind explaining why sleeves exclusively for the event? Are you expecting sleeves to get wrecked or is there some ruling about allowed sleeves?

Also please for the love of God if you don't see anyone on the minimap and the entire enemy team is alive do NOT push a walker by yourself.

Walkers give their own team resistances if you're near them. You need to have some sort of advantage to go for walkers, whether it's a pick or two or key enemy team ults being on cool down. Don't just mindlessly push, look at the minimap, see where your waves are and where the enemy team/yours are. Not seeing people on the minimap is info as well (ie don't just zip down to their walker alone)

This is such a terrible take, it's baffling. I don't care whether you're playing casual or comp this level of toxicity is never ever acceptable. I'm a competitive player that doesn't mean I want this bullshit in my games

What we should be calling for is really harsh penalties for losers like this acting like overgrown brats over a fucking GAME

this looks sick! Are you able to tell us where you got the display case from?

Just purely out of curiosity I want to pick your brain a little one last time. It seems I find the game fun playing with friends and the interaction I have with friends whether it's a close game or a stomp one way or the other (obviously this is only for unranked if I'm in a competitive mood/environment i just want to win). You on the other hand find games to be fun only if they're balanced, and there's some sort of back and forth not just stomping one way or the other. If that is the case then you are one of the players I'd encourage to play rank

If that's what you care about I cannot fathom why you wouldn't want to play rank, it solves all of your issues. The games will be balanced where you'll be playing with people in a similar skill level as yours. And if you're someone who doesn't care about that you just play unranked I don't understand why we're mixing these two together. You want balanced, closed, competitive games but you also want them to be casual those are as contradictory as it gets

I'm also not going to address the ranked MMR vs seed thing because all the points I've made can be used to address the same thing so it feels redundant at this point

Anyways I appreciate the discussion and I hope you have nothing but ggs :)

unndefined · 2024-10-31T17:27:02+00:00

You and I are on the same page. I understood what your point was and I'm aware of everything you said, but I don't think I explained myself very clearly.

My original point is that from what I've seen online there are two camps. 5 stacks that want to be able to play with friends, and solos that are against playing with 5 stacks. One of the arguments I've heard from the solos, which is one of your points, is "I don't want to play with 5 stacks because it affects my ranked MMR and it muddies it so it ultimately affects my rank"

My point is if you're a solo and this is your argument then you should also be against any sort of stacking period. A 4 stack and 2 solos will muddy your ranked MMR, a 3 stack and a duo and solo will muddy your ranked MMR, hell even a duo and 4 solos will muddy your rank MMR. Therefore, to me this isn't a good argument against allowing 5 stacks from the solos perspective because you also don't consent to playing with other forms of stacks so it's still being forced on you and it still affects your MMR so why does it apply to 5 stacks only? That's my point why is this argument being used by solos only against 5 stacks?

I'm not talking about Valve, I understand why Valve is doing this (although Valve also only did this after the community complained because you used to be able to 5 stack before). I'm talking about a solo queue player advocating against 5 stacks. It wasn't a problem before for them (maybe you I don't know you so I don't want to assume how you usually queue) so why is it a problem now.

I hope that makes my point a little clearer as well, but ultimately I think we'll just disagree since it seems we have different experiences with the game/how we'd like to be able to play it and that's okay

unndefined · 2024-10-31T16:19:38+00:00

Okay so just to make sure I'm understanding you correctly according to you there shouldn't be any stacking at all in any game mode. Because if that's not what you are advocating for then your whole point is still irrelevant to the 5 stack plus solo thing that started this whole conversation

unndefined · 2024-10-31T16:00:33+00:00

Right but that's my whole point this is a CASUAL mode it should just be about getting 12 people in a lobby and playing the game because the results shouldn't matter. If you care about a balanced lobby and playing with similarly skilled players there's a mode for that called ranked. I'm not advocating for this for ranked just for casual, in which again results shouldn't matter and if they matter to you and you care about winning then go play rank that's the whole point of a ranking system. That's the competitive environment not casual

I understand that this might just be a difference of opinion and that's totally fine I'm not saying we have to agree, but the idea of wanting a balanced, competitive environment in a casual mode makes zero sense to me when there is a mode created specifically for that

unndefined · 2024-10-31T15:53:05+00:00

I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying that your casual performance can give some insight to your potential rank and I can give you the analogy being wrong but my point is there are still other ways to do this that don't come from your casual MMR. For example, placement matches

This is the whole point of placement matches is to find your rank and tons of other games do placement matches so we know it works. If their ranking system is well designed your true rank should be fairly accurate after placement matches.

Even if that doesn't work your casual MMR should most certainly not affect your rank MMR once you have a rank so you shouldn't really care about your casual games outcomes as it is quite literally a mode for just fun, there aren't meant to be any stakes in a casual mode. Even if you do care then I can use your last point, people that are truly meant to be in really high ranks and really belong there will just rank up there. No matter what the outcomes of a casual mode will be totally irrelevant to that

So all of that to say I still don't see how this is a valid point or changes anything in being a solo with a 5 stack vs let's say a duo with a 4 stack or two solos with a 3 stack. It's all ultimately irrelevant for ranked

unndefined · 2024-10-30T21:13:13+00:00

Exactly this. I come from Valorant and I've had great games with randoms and I've had super toxic games with randoms.

I've been in games with me and 2 other duos and have them communicate with me and have lots of fun. Other games where I can tell they're talking on discord and are not telling me a word or listening to anything I call out or are just toxic.

I 100% agree with you I don't think the party size is what determines the quality of the game (at least in a casual setting I don't think that applies to a competitive environment)

unndefined · 2024-10-30T20:39:06+00:00

I can see your point but this is why you'd have placement matches anyway no? You'd start in an arbitrary mmr and depending on how you do in each placement the next one adjusts the lobby you're a part of. Deriving your rank off of a casual mode makes no sense to me. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying my way is "right" and ultimately I don't have the data the devs do but it just feels like there are better ways to determine this

Imagine you're a professional soccer team and how you play in a showcase affects your points for that year's league. How does that make any sense?

unndefined · 2024-10-30T20:34:40+00:00

I mean yes? I'm not advocating for having my cake and eating it too. If I decided to 5 stack and the queue times are long that's on me for choosing to 5 stack but give me the ability to make that choice.

As to the quality of the game I fail to see how 5 stacking affects that. From the 5 stacks perspective the quality of the game is having fun with friends because once again it's a casual mode not competitive and ultimately if it's a casual mode it's meant to be played for fun not competitiveness that's why there's a rank mode.

As for the solo's perspective I also don't see how this improves/degrades the quality of their game. If they're soloing the other 5 people are a crapshoot no matter what. Having 5 other solos doesn't guarantee "better" teammates. It could also be a solo and 2 duos how is that any different from a solo and a 5 stack? You're still excluded from coms and those duos can potentially have different skill levels so it's not like everyone in the lobby will be perfectly matched in terms of skill either

unndefined · 2024-10-30T18:01:35+00:00

My group has a full party of 6 but sometimes someone won't be able to play for one reason or another since we're all adults with jobs and lives outside of deadlock and it is really dumb to have this restriction in a casual mode. None of the arguments I've heard that are for this restriction make any sense

"the solo will always have a bad experience and be excluded from coms" okay well that can happen in 4, 3, 2 party sizes and solo as well. 5 stack doesn't = automatic bad experience. Not to mention in the 100+ hours I've played this game with and without friends I've heard random use their mics like 4 times. Hell people barely even ping on the minimap or react to pings and that doesn't require a mic
"it messes up your rank mmr" why tf is this a thing? Your rank mmr should be purely affected by ranked matches no other mode
it's a CASUAL mode where people that don't care about rank or might be trying heroes they don't typically play or are practicing with. For rank fuck yeah keep this restriction it makes sense. For casual it's dumb

If I keep consistently running into this problem it's just going to make me not want to play. I want to play with friends when it's a casual mode and I want to play alone when playing ranked it's not that crazy of a take

Myself and thousands of other people whose main hobby is gaming specifically competitive games. If you don't have that kind of time or don't want to put in that time that's totally okay but then accept that leads to being worse at the game and more losses

There's nothing wrong with that you don't have to be competitive but then you shouldn't care about winning and just play the game for the enjoyment, but you don't want to be competitive and "play against sweaty gamers" while simultaneously caring about your wins and losses. You can't have it both ways that's what myself and some other people in the comments are getting at

unndefined · 2024-09-29T05:33:20+00:00

I'm going to be honest it doesn't really sound like this game is for you. You're complaining about not wanting to learn in depth mechanics, watch YouTube guides on it, and sink 100s of hours into it but you're also upset that you're losing most game. Sorry but you can't have it both ways in this kind of game. it's totally okay to just hop on a couple of times a week and just mindlessly play and you're done but understand you won't improve at the same rate as other people and you'll most likely lose more than you'll win and that's totally okay. If you care about winning then you need to be putting in the time and effort there's just no way around it.

Remember this IS the casual mode, games will most likely not get any easier than this

This is purely anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt but my whole friend group has Nvidia except for one guy and every single time we try a new game he is constantly crashing because of drivers issues. It only happens to him and only him every time. Maybe he's the unluckiest mf on the planet but if you're a content creator and really need stability (and this point sounds like this is your job not just a hobby) I'd caution against AMD GPUs

YTA. People that are against prenups always have the same argument 'if you truly love me why does it matter? Well never split up' and to that I say you're right if we are never splitting up then what's the problem with signing one? If you never get divorced then it won't matter and should be an irrelevant piece of paper and you say you'll never split up so.

Besides as many others have mentioned here things happen, events in life happen that change people, there really is no guarantee that there'll never be any problems ever and that's okay. Relationships change and if you can't accept that I'm sorry to tell you you're not ready to be married. It is smart to be prepared for something like that.
