Depends on the map. I like to play aggressively in maps like Exodus. For maps like Pantheon where there's a lot of halls, I wait around the corner with shotgun in hand.

Need one for PoE 34
Any takers?

Thorn/Shotgun, and fairly aggressively. To be fair though, I only play Rumble when it's the Daily Crucible map; gotta get them sweet, sweet Passage Coins.

I don't know if you can call them skills but that generally works for me
. On bigger maps that are more open you can do well hanging back a bit and stealing kills when 2 people are busy engaging each other.They could just have you re-roll when you develop from the blue print.

I'll help, psn same as gaf
Probably will be, just at nowhere near the range that it's currently being used at.

Hip-fire has never been that great at range, it's ADS that's the problem.
Slammin_Hammon

It should in theory be more viable as they are increasing the benefits of hip fire. But it will probably be a wash since it's range and stability are getting nerfed.
Well considering the changes to TLW are:
Reduce Range stat to 10 (was 20), reduce Stability to 20 (was 30).
Reduce effective range while in ADS.
Increase accuracy and precision damage aim assist scale when firing from the hip. “Get three coffins ready.”
Fixed bugs with Hipfire damage bonus applying incorrectly
The ADS range is getting nerfed as well.

Still want to run trials? I'm just messing around in control right now.

The other big question for TLW post-TTK is how much the original perks like Perfect Balance are getting nerfed. I doubt that stability nerf will matter a ton unless they nerf PB hard on top of that.
figadapaura
Member
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. ADS is getting a nerf, while hip-fire is also getting a buff.
Anyone using TLW properly wouldn't be attempting hip-fire at range anyway.

Oh god,
I didn't even think of this.
. I hope it isn't bad but I'm not holding my breath. Looking at the new Suros hammer forged added very little to the range.Kor of Memory

My Stats:
16 True Skill is not high enough Kappa
I could do some more Trials if you need 1 but priority to others who still need loot for the week. I could do Trials or newbie Skolas depending on what people were wanting to do.

I'm confused. Your K/D and win % are great but the trueskill is only 16. It must be calculated poorly or weird.

Cool, just grabbing stuff from the Reef real quick
Maybe he just doesn't play a lot of crucible. One has to win/play a lot of games to get that number up.

True skill has a lot to do with how much you play.
DrDrizzay101
Member
Yeah like E92 said probably not a ton of games played. True Skill is cumulative so you have to play a lot to hit 50 regardless of what your stats are. You just have to play a lot more games to hit 50 with a 1.5 K/D relative to a 2+ K/D. Win % is the most important stat afaik.
Sure man. I'm down
Slammin_Hammon
Member
See that doesn't make sense to me. I get that DTR is about how much you play and how well but Trueskill should just be based on k/d, assists, and wins so you get a better idea as to actual skill.

WTF 22/23 True Skill in Crucible/Iron Banner. 3 True Skill Trials...
Lol
You just haven't played it that much. My Iron Banner True Skill is 9, but for Trials it's 33. I don't play IB because it's a laggy shitfest.
DrDrizzay101
Member
True, but it takes a lot more skill to have high K/D and win% over 1000 games compared to 100 games. Sort of a sustained excellence.
figadapaura
Member
I guess it shows consistency.
DrDrizzay101

huh? Kappa = sarcasm. It's just a way to communicate more clearly considering it's so easy to misunderstand written text online.
It should be a fairly minimal factor.
The 100 games vs 1000 games would probably reveal very similar stats for most people. The law of averages would come into play pretty quickly.
I am anti-Kappa. Join me.

I agree. I didn't make up the system.

Yeah that is definitely the case. There is probably some algorithm for how heavily stats are weighted when compared to games played. I think they said they were changing trueskill?
Oh well. It's just a number to grind
. I'd like to get to 50 someday, I'm sitting at 30 now though, so it will take some time.Kor of Memory
