This game is loving cool. Captures the deathmatch frenzy better than anything since Q3 / UT99.

I wish the maps were just a little bigger. That one that's made of a bunch of vertical metal hexagons(I think?) stacked on top of each other with the goop pools is awful. The rooms are teeny tiny and it's not much fun.

Guess I should get good but I just cant stand him. I struggle hard against him. Even when he is freshly spawned I feel like I get one shotted because I don’t see his nades coming my way.

I honestly love the game but I'm just really salty that the devs STILL haven't thrown in an option to remove abilities and stat differences for dumb purists like me, or even just a mode that forces mirror-match characters. There remains a significant chunk of my friends list that refuses to touch the game because it "reeks of overwatch nonsense."

Disabling abilities still leaves passives on so just have both people play quake guy and pretend it's still 1999.

What rating number are you? 1166 apparently, I don't think the ranked modes are doing a great job of putting people together yet though. My last few 2 vs 2's have been; https://stats.quake.com/profile/rednecked%20crake/matches/4553c486-772d-11e8-87c6-0003ffb80003 20-0 with a team-mate going 30-8, enemy team would just try to run at you with machineguns sometimes. https://stats.quake.com/profile/rednecked%20crake/matches/b7f77be0-772a-11e8-87c6-0003ffb80003 27-20 with a 12-31 duder against a team who seemed to know what they were doing. https://stats.quake.com/profile/rednecked%20crake/matches/330cdb24-7637-11e8-87c5-0003ffb6d5b1 33-0 with a 17-11 duder against a team who apparently have never touched an FPS before (?). Still, it's fun when matches are close.

Played against a 2 vs 2 team and their bottom fragger had a score of -4 kills / 33 deaths, felt bad for the other guy.

I don’t know why the new people are so eager to jump into ranked games. Maybe there should be a level requirement to force them to play unranked longer.

If you think ranked is like overwatch then it should technically put you with players around your skill level... good reason to jump into it right away.

If there is a hidden MMR there aren’t enough players for it to matter *shrug*

Social Animal posted:That makes sense. What do you think about the unranked modes having the hidden mmr though? Should we keep that or drop it? An argument for keeping it is that you won't run into wild stomps on either side with such a mixed bag, even though that's pretty much how oldschool FFA was done forever, it can be a turnoff for people expecting even matches. Removing it could be problematic for the casual class of players if there's a full group of really good players who just want to stomp people and play easy games. While this was only marginally harder to do in a time when groups weren't a thing (you just gave your friends the server name or IP), it would be easier now since getting into a game with a group is very streamlined. An argument for removing hidden mmr from unranked modes is that it's more of a mixed, varied bag, and while it can potentially be a landslide either way, I personally feel far more engaged if I don't keep running into the same people in unranked games. Hidden MMR is basically just secret matchmaking in most games today, and I personally hate its existence and given the choice between the two, I feel just as much pressure as ranked, so I'd rather play that if unranked had hidden MMR too. It also makes playing with friends a lot harder than if you just jump into a game with people dogpiling in, and I always hate the knowledge that I'm dragging my friends into a game that's guaranteed to be incredibly hard for them. While personally I hate hidden mmr, I feel I wouldn't be doing my duty as an old guard competitive veteran if I didn't play devil's advocate. I won't pretend to know the best choice for everyone, but I will share my views for and against.

I'm of the mind that people don't get better not playing against people better than them. Look at Fortnite. It has no MMR system and people have gotten vastly better as the game has gone on and stuck to it. COD fans hate any MMR system. Battlefield is the same. I'd says all MMR does is make sure to bore your player base and make games are unfun grinds like LOL, Overwatch, and Dota 2.

The idea behind a system like that though is to make it so you are pitted against better players, but with a slower more wobbly curve so that they're not too much better while also still being demonstrably so.

Man the solo ranked mode where you have to pick 3 champions is bad and dumb. Only thing about this I don't like. Guess I'll stick to FFA unranked and ranked 2v2 then

Personally I like the whole "best of 5" format as opposed to the old "10 minutes, most frags wins" format. I'd be okay if they changed it so you only had one character throughout all of it, though.

Constantly getting shitstomped by old head quakers made Reflex exhausting and I found that game way more fun on a base gameplay level than QC. I know QC isn't quite as niche as that game but I don't think it's really comparable to something like COD either, which has an incredibly massive playerbase (= more baddies for other baddies to play) and doesn't let better players leverage their skill difference nearly as well as Quake. From what I've heard the level of play within given mmr brackets has risen a ton over the lifetime of dota 2, though I don't personally play. I honestly don't care that much about improving at this point in my gaming life though tbh I just wanna have a fun time jumping around shooting at other bads and not getting 0-50'd on aerowalk.

Also I'm not gonna argue about the quality of gameplay in games like Overwatch and Dota but I don't think matching pros against people who've played 5 games would suddenly make them more fun for anyone involved. e; maybe the best solution to this is to just have an invisible mmr matchmaker and community servers for people that want that experience (i'd certainly like the option) instead of trying to have unranked matching replace that experience.

A good COD player can shut a room down just as hard as a good quake player. I'd love for dedicated servers to become the norm again. If you're going 0-50 in any game I don't think any amount of hand holding will help unless you get better.

The problem of the game is easy: the skill ceiling is super high. That means it needs a good amount of players so each type of player can play with a group of other players of similar skill.

Also having a high skill ceiling is important for competitive games. What Quake Champions needs is to get popular with streamers so people can watch people play and realize what they're not doing right.

Just finished the 1v1 Duel ranked calibration thing. Got the "Silver Tier 3" thing. (edit-- 1165) I'm playing in that horrible purgatory where the only people I can win against are the new people and the second they learn how item timings work I get destroyed. in other words i am bad Love Stole the Day fucked around with this message at 09:45 on Jun 25, 2018 |
