People that can do that at that level spend too much time practicing that and have no game sense.
Air drag is an all or nothing play that leaves you too open if you miss. Anyone in higher levels knows how to save them. It's weird how they are better technically but still in the same level. Working on the wrong things.

I have a feeling a youtuber or twitch star started promoting them or something because it really is out of nowhere

i remember people pulling off ceiling shots immediately after they became a thing when i was around plat. it's completely stupid though because they don't do them when it makes sense, like going up the wall and doing them for no reason in 1s games. results in a counter 90% of the time.

really, really wish there was a solo queue mode. played 7 doubles games in the new update as solo so far and ALL 7 were against a party.

some people just wanna pop in a game and don't feel like strategizing on discord. wish there was a mode for this. Overwatch does its best to match up evenly (all solo vs all solo; 2-3-1 vs 2-3-1) and so do other games. idk why this one can't do the same.

once you get to a certain level it's pretty impossible to advance, since you're just facing a bunch of duos that have very clearly synchronized their strategies (since they both have a median rank of very high) and gameplay. which is great for them, but the difference in gameplay between solo queuers and a party is prominent enough to warrant a separate mode.

i sorta agree for fairnesses sake, but it would be horrible for small population servers, like oce, as it'd split the player base. finding a game is a nightmare in the higher ranks. i've managed to solo queue to champ 2, so it's doable. hell, sometimes parties are better to go up against as you get more points when you beat them!

It's pretty mixed..sometimes parties are good other times they suck. I don't mind not having a solo queue for 2s cuz 75% of the time I'm playing other solo queue people. I've climbed to champ 2 solo queuing also..it's a mixed bag but eh
If I'm partied with someone and chatting which is super rare we aren't ever saying more than I got it. I just see how the other person plays and try to support that style. Being more.cautuous when they're not as strong or trying to stay near them I'd they're looking to pass. And just rotating per usual.

It's a pretty reasonable price for what you get if you've got the time to power through.

I'm debating but I won't be back in the US for another few weeks. So I have substantially less time to hit the goals. Plus I've just been using alpha console and like my setup.

it's until november, and apparently takes roughly 100 hours to hit level 70, so i feel like it should be doable?

do you like still get the premium stuff from the tiers you've already passed if you decide to buy the premium thing later after you've already tiered up a bunch or do you have to start from the beginning again?

kinda just wanna gauge how much i'm playing over the next couple weeks to see if it'd be worth it to me

it's apparently linked to the new levelling system, so presumably not?

Thanks, admin.

I hopped back on this morning for the first time in about 6 months. Glad to see the toxicity hasn't changed!

yeah I've been playing Siege and this a lot lately and it's ridiculous how the game about killing people as police will ban people literally seconds after being reported for hateful language and the game about flying cars doesn't seem to have any real time punishment system whatsoever

they're pretty good about banning people now, actually. the reporting system works, and i've had numerous confirmations that someone i've reported was banned. usually starts at 1 day, then grows longer with each infraction. but if it really bothers you, turn off chat, or turn it to quick chat only.

I've reported literally dozens of people for saying appalling things (very homophobic stuff for the most part) and I've never had a single confirmation that someone I'd reported was banned.
I thought about keeping it on quick chat only, but i quite enjoy chatting with randoms and screw the assholes.

i'm probably batting like 1.000 in terms of reporting people for saying shit like that and receiving a ban notice, so, i dunno what to tell you. just ignore them. i don't find it worse than any other multiplayer game i've played.

woah, didn't realize all this stuff that was in the update. i just played local dropshot and it was really cool, but frustrating because it seemed like the computer opponents were way better than any soccer computer opponents i've ever played and it'd be cool if they could up the opponent difficulty on soccer too. i don't play much online on account of the stuff already mentioned on this page.

anyone psyched for RLCS tomorrow? feel like the OCE boys could go either way. hard to tell if chiefs have gotten worse since losing jake or tainted minds have caught up (TM is coming in as the #1 oce seed having felled chiefs each time they played). feel like they could both go far, or both go through not winning any games? it's a real toss up!

in terms of international teams, rooting for flipside of course. sad about scrub not making it.
