Maybe stuff like shields and IQ's wristwatch really seem to help more than the scoreboard suggests because those are my favorite things to do other than play Tachanka or Fuze on Hostage rounds. @Hard: is the little loading icon for each player even real because I have seen people sit around and talk about it while waiting for "toasters" to finish. Some of the poo poo the players are saying about why it's happening is too funny to be true Thief fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Dec 5, 2016 |

I actually love the matchmaker because I get into games fairly quickly without having to browse a server list. I understand this is supposed to be a competitive shooter but if you're really that serious you can very easily just hop into a group with 4 random players through Discord or something and find fun people to play with that try to work together as a team. Even if you can't find anyone active you can just join a random team and find people that way. From what I've seen, if your team wins very well or actually talks on the mic they will tend to hang around for multiple matches instead of bounce around randomly in the que. That's what ranked mode is really about for me. I'm pretty sure everyone knows most of the levels aren't that serious and you see very good players just dorking around a lot trying experimental things just as often as you see people trying to reenact their favorite youtube cyber athlete tutorial strategies. This the game that lets you do stuff like hang spiderman style off the walls and taze people in the nuts with a remote control gadget.

i have been having really good luck with Tachanka by placing the gun on the objective in the prep phase and letting a drone spot it then move it to the front loving door of the house and killing a couple ppl with it for many laughs.

the only operators i think are hard enough to consider not taking are Thatcher and SmokeParadigmata posted:Also people that get angry are usually bad players or wont improve, because they cant control their emotions and seem to be bad at adapting and learning from mistakes or just outright will blame someone else for their incompetence. yeah this is why they are stuck playing alone in a competitive game where so few people do it being in a group gives you an automatic advantage at the lower ranks i consider myself a very casual player in this game but i will play 5th wheel to an organized group whenever i see one in discord and ranked is fun as hell because of trying to work together as a team regardless of which operators you choose, not the outcome of the little pixel jpeg next to your profile avatar. i bounce between gold number ranks and i'm sure if i played ranked more regularly it would be platinum - not at all because of my skill but because of my willingness to assist my teammates and talking on the microphone in discord. the people i play with know i'm bad but they have never ever kicked me out of the group or blamed me because of it even if we lose. you won't see me blasting headshots as often but that doesn't stop me from locking down an entire chokepoint by expending ammo at it in irregular intervals. things like suppressing fire, communication and using shields or traps to harass the enemy without even having to directly hit them all have a huge affect on the flow of a round I think. another thing you can do is just take a shotgun and blow giant loving holes in the wall to confuse the other team regardless of if you're on offense or defense.

lohli posted:The difficulty in Thatcher is knowing when and where to throw things as well as the general responsibility you have to help breachers get in before you get toasted, it's harder than it used to since the EMP range got nerfed quite badly. Just throwing poo poo where the breachers mark works fine most of the time, but other times you need to use some initiative and that's where things like knowing the room layout and where gadgets are is necessary. This is how I feel. Weapon loadouts, armor and speed aside if you look at him compared to the other operators I feel like his special ability is very situational and you won't see him being as useful to a disorganized team compared to practically any other attacker. Even IQ can just skim the edges of the building and pop kapkans through wooden boards. Or she can also find the bomb/containers before the team even breaches the building more often than not if the drones are suffering bad luck. And since every player is forced to use a drone regularly I'd guess someone like Twitch will just come naturally to a player. Overall I don't think it matters much. At the worst it should only take like 3 hits to kill another player regardless of who you are. Things like team composition are overrated I think, it is really hard to pick any 5 of the operators and find yourself gimped. Actually getting locked out of an objective is so rare that when it does actually happen it's really just more impressive on the part of the defenders.

hong kong op's special ability is to throw a fake iphone into the defender's safe space and then call it. if they go to answer it , it automatically marks their position for the rest of the round.

Lemon-Lime posted:Finally. Shocking it took that long, really. noice  HOOLY BOOLY posted:65HP on Blackbeard's shields? That seems a bit low honestly. 150 per shield is fine. Blackbeard might be one of the most overplayed operators in the game from what I've seen. I think a HP reduction on the shield is a good thing. It makes the most sense to quickly peek dangerous corners in situations where you know you'll be trading shots back and forth. Instead what people had actually been doing was playing him like they would Blitz except they have an assault rifle instead of a pistol. And when you combine Blitz+Blackbeard in a narrow hallway pretty much the only way to stop them is explosives. It seems that crouching Blackbeard in front of Blitz works nearly as well as Blackbeard standing behind him.

Frost is my most played defensive operator. She has a cool hat and her traps are easier to repeatedly score with than Kapkan's.

sdr782 posted:Yeah, that's odd. Also Bucks C8 got a recoil nerf for some reason. Probably because he can basically breach wooden things and return fire faster than sledge. I don't play Buck much but he is rad as heck if you're about that constant weapon switch until one of the options runs out of ammo.

The Duggler posted:Glaz is really fun now, he can one shot low armor guys from close distance I've always just played him like the sniper in Call of Duty 1/United Offensive in that you can just run around and insta kill people through loose hipshots treating the gun more like a shotgun than a sniper rifle. The damage is so high it lets you get away with it more often than not and nobody expects you to play so aggressively with that operator. When they hear you firing off shots like that they will think you're just busting windows and are a lot farther away than you really are.

Party Plane Jones posted:It would give people a reason to chuck impacts at shield users for a change rather than downed people/walls if that was the case. one time i went to throw an impact grenade around acorner cause we were trying to suppress it (or whatever you call it when you spam entire magazines down a bottleneck) and as i went around i ended up beaming it directly into an enemy's face for an instakill because they ran towards us

keyframe posted:Solo ranked in this game is loving cancer. Solo ranked seems alright if the matchmaker roulette spins in your favor. I am in the mid-gold ranks from just doing this and talking on the mic. I think overall my W:L is like an even 1.0 if iirc? K:D ratio is at an eternal 0.2 because lol. I usually play at like 3am-4am though so that might have an impact on the types of players I'm encountering?

cinci zoo sniper posted:I might consider an Elite Fuze skin, but that's about as far as I am willing to go with cash-exclusive vanity items in any game, since I've played both CS:GO and Dota 2. meanwhile i'ma be over here buyin up comedy option skins because   forreal though I would definitely buy a Fuze/Frost outfit because they're probably my two most played operators when I'm actually trying to play to win. I'm sure eventually each op will have a pay 2 grief option but I'd like to see them update the underappreciated operators first. Like give IQ a goofy tacticool cybercop nerd outfit or something.

just play ranked and have fun if you're that serious about the pixel badge form a premade group of 5 experienced players in discord and play a couple games a couple nights in a row and watch your rank soar immediately back to platinum like cs:go and other competitive cyber athlete fps games, siege is best played at the lowest ranks possible because that's where the players that spend more time watching youtube strategies than playing the actual game can be found and they are easily the most entertaining when they get on the mic with zero self-awareness.

The matchmaker is pretty good in this game in both. I get into matches within a minute usually and the players are for the most part willing to work as a team regardless of how good they are. They're also generally willing to dork around and try fun stuff like take 3 shields or rush spawn with tachanka's gun setup facing out the front door.

Rocket League had some pretty silly win streak requirements to maintain rank as you climbed up. They chhanged it up a bit though. Its also probably the best competitive game that is active right now but teams range from 1v1 to 3v3 so its not like its hard to pull a PUG at any given moment and the only people that get mad in that game are so generally toxic that theu can't even find one other nerd to play doubles with.

lol at the idea of enforcing standards of decency when people can just personally mute players they find too offensive or annoying to ignore i'd rather have the devs spend their time actually improving the game and adding new content rather than trying to make their PvP virtual murder simulator a safe place there are gonna be jerks in every multiplayer game... but for every random rear end in a top hat encountered in siege, i come across entire teams full of people trying to communicate constructively and work together even if they at times get frustrated and say naughty cuss words into their microphone
