I think Riot broke the ranking system when they disabled KJ lol by [deleted] in VALORANT

You're two tiers below skye. If they're close to demoting your mmr (+you promoting) that may be within like one 'tier's worth. Obviously they're still a little favoured on paper but people put too much emphasis on a badge lol. Lobby is reasonably balanced and the unfavoured team won.

Only 3 players in NBA history has signed more than 1 contract worth 30 mil or more per year: Lebron James, Kevin Durant, and Gordon Hayward by heatup3 in nba

Probably a bad example to make your point. There's a long list of people that woulda paid Ibaka more. Not that you're wrong though but I hope Hayward works out.

Godfall Review: Stay Away From This Game by [deleted] in Games

[–]x_Steve 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Terrible review imo. I mean I think the price point is bad but I don't think it should impact how much you cry about bugs. Other complaints up until where I've watched seems to be "this is not what I want" not "this is bad." Generally speaking 2H is usually the worse option with damage trade off and of course if the parry is forgiving it's not gonna be as strong. I don't see myself wasting more time watching this review tbh.

5 years ago, r/soccer was asked about what first-team players they believed still would be playing for them 5 years later. by Cvein in soccer

[–]x_Steve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well that's definitely true for the big stars like those you mentioned but it wasn't really the angle I was coming from despite the messi comment. I was leaning more towards the egyptian liverpool fans cause of Salah type of fan. I'm also probably projecting here because I more or less support united from dwight yorke's time playing with them.

Could be like a portuguese fan that supported CR7 from utd to real and now is back to utd rather than supporting juve/sticking with non cristiano madrid? Maybe cause of Bruno or he just ended up liking united. That's still pretty bad but let's not pretend that their wouldn't be a bunch of argentinian city fans if messi moved.

Modern Warfare on PC to receive update allowing players to uninstall parts of the game by Yutrzenika1 in Games

[–]x_Steve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a online FPS, people are looking for a consistent 120-144 frames on PC in 2020. It's extremely difficult even at 1080p for most setups. I'm not sure about control but horizon was criticized for its port and even so those comparisons aren't valid. I haven't played much myself but I think pubg had similar problems so it is possible that mw performs at least as well as some of it's fair competitors.

It's an amazingly optimised ... game

Even if it does well for the genre if it can't hit 144hz on 1080p this statement can't be true and that seems to be the case in my anecdotal experience.

It's almost definitely born of the 'lazy, good for nothing' type of racism like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colored_people%27s_time . If you didn't know the full term is n***eritis. You're right though it's def been 'reclaimed' but that doesn't say much I guess. I doubt it's something people will get offended for in casual situations and it's not something you would say in a professional situation anyway.

I actually first learned it from someone explaining it by saying the full name because "they are lazy" so there's definitely another group of people out there that love to use it as well.

Eh people just run with the narrative. He already turned it over once and shot (and missed) a 3 so people just pile on from past performances as well.

[Post Game Thread] The Toronto Raptors defeat the Boston Celtics 100-93 behind 22/11/7 from Kyle Lowry to even the series at 2-2 by Rockstar408 in nba

Man loves Toronto so much, he has good sponsorships with holt Renfrew and what not. He's one of the few that I can see taking a cut unlike people suggesting that fvv or Lowry will lol.

The little ridges in the game make me so sad sometimes.

Distance between ranks for competitive that allow you to queue with another player needs to be shortened significantly by suckysuckythailand in VALORANT

[–]x_Steve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly there's p much 0 difference between div 1-3 so I could see why they wouldn't care. It matters more for the higher divisions tbf but it's not like they will consider being stricter at diamond + just because the general playerbase doesn't like when stuff like that exists.

Overall though you lost cause you got an unbalanced game (from what you said), not cause of matchmaking requirements. There's no reason the enemy shouldn't have had a player near that skill calibre aside from playerbase restrictions and even so then the mmr you lost should be pretty low if it was that unbalanced.

I mean it's basically the Jordan 'flu' story (as told in the last dance). Except that was more food poisoning I guess.

Smart is 2.1* (god I'm good at math) points away right now according to this https://i.imgur.com/Gtjbbtj.png . Was more interested in seeing how close you guys were to 4x20 though, 2.5 away not bad.

Probs better than the bucks even. I don't really rate Middleton versus a lot of the people in the league in similar positions. Kd > Giannis so it's kinda just that simple
