real dilemma posted:nice, probably the biggest net positive change that has been made so far this offseason Agreed about NaVi, though. e: I didn't realize how well FaZe was actually doing. 7-1 in Pro League, only dropping a map against NV while beating Virtus.Pro, Team X, and G2 2-0. Legend status, here we come.

Faze up e: also, after 31 wins in a row, the aforementioned izak just reached silver 2. Now it'll be interesting to see if he'll rank up normally after this, and if perhaps the extended period of no rank-ups was due to something like losing hundreds of matches to get to silver 1 for whoever had the account previously.

More and more international teams are popping up. I wonder why it has been taking so long, having 5 players from the same country is an anomaly in other games.

I'm trying to get a friend up to rank/level 21 so he can sign up for prime and playing non-prime is draining my will to live. Last 5 games or so have had spin- and aimbotters shooting you in the head with their backs turned. Reporting them seems useless as none of them have been banned while freely admitting to cheating for whatever reason. Moral of the story, don't try to help your friends.

Whatever happened to nex? He was really on a tear for a long time and then he sort of fell off a cliff. It's like NiKo strolled in and totally stole his thunder, and suddenly he became painfully average.

Mouz only has so much talent to distribute between its players. When a new good player comes in, everyone else on the team gets worse

You should still be able to replace them yourself with callout radars and/or hentai radars if you want to.

Continuously bouncing between MGE and DMG. I'm inconsistent which is obviously a problem, but also teams are just wildly variable (solo MM lyfe) I'll get a streak of 3-4 wins in a row with teams that just gel and we need very little communication, like we're playing mirage 2-1-2, I play arches 90% of the time, A starts seeing pressure, so I push up cat and mid goes to A, no communication required it just happens. Then I get 2-3 games in a row that are a loving clusterfuck of people buying every round, getting owned, and just rage happening.

Apex is going utterly ham against G2 right now, after 15 rounds he has 24 frags while the entire rest of his team has 24. The next highest fragging player is shox with 14.

I'm going to argue that consistency has more to do with what your enemies know how to deal with rather than your own play usually. The only thing that really varies is flick aim and if your skill rating is based on variance in that then you have a lot you can do to improve your base play. Watch demos and good players not for hype but for learning and see what happens.

This is cool. A flashbang script that lets you throw a flashbang from a saved set position no matter where you are on the map, so you freely move around and see how it affects various spots on the map. I haven't tested it myself yet but it looks neat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9hB2gICopw

Then I get 2-3 games in a row that are a loving clusterfuck of people buying every round, getting owned, and just rage happening. That's just soloqueue life. Sometimes you just get poo poo teammates who don't care or give up. You're only going to rank up by turning the game around through having a heavy impact on rounds you should lose and doing your best to keep the clowns from starting the clown show basically by saying "unlucky man," "Let's focus on the next round" etc etc. I'd suggest making adjustments sooner because if you don't they won't. A lot of people will play like 2,1,2 and if the mid guy is getting rolled won't peel one off a site to help him which you should because presumably you get the numbers advantage out of that. Or the cts will constantly be pushing and they won't react to it unless you hold the flank and maybe get an advantage out of it. You can also help your team make these adjustments if you can resist the temptation to point out how they are making the mistake. Like its not uncommon to lose post plant situations just because the retards went kill hunting. There's no point saying "you threw the round by pushing for no reason, you loving halfwit how hard is it to hold an angle." They will just do it again next time. if you instead say "we got too aggressive there and lost the advantage" it goes over better because they know what they did and are probably babies who can't handle direct criticism. Otherwise its got to be clutching or entrying really well to take the round if countering their default isn't working.

You're only going to rank up by turning the game around through having a heavy impact on rounds you should lose and doing your best to keep the clowns from starting the clown show basically by saying "unlucky man," "Let's focus on the next round" etc etc. I 100% avoid "negative" type comments, i.e. "You hosed up, you should have done this", when I give advice it trends more towards a positive light such as "that was close man good job, next time let's try X instead of Y" or something like that. Negative comments bother me as well when people do it, so obviously it bothers others. My aim is very inconsistent as is my twitch reflex. One day I'll be loving on and could probably out aim most pros and flick them without problem, but other days I'll just be sluggish and stare at someone for half a second before trying to shoot (instead of actually firing I'll be dead). I guess I probably need to take more of a leadership role when no one else does and our team doesn't have the map awareness that I do. I don't know if it has to do with lack of play time or getting older, probably both, but I'm not the twitch shooter I was 10 years ago playing 1.6, but my ability to follow the ebb and flow of the game and predict situations has grown immensely; I guess I should lean on that more to lead teams to victory.
