ie: fuck Oceania players. Games are on at 3am here.
Still counts as a loss. You just don't get the matchmaking ban.

Didn't know that. That sucks. Not my problem teammate bailed/lost connection.
I'm liking this a lot hahaha. I don't feel so bad only ranking into gold from the start in 3's if it's called Corn.
'Trust is everything' is kinda a weird thing
Ik basically everyone who can 2v1 champs/scs in offense says it, myself included, buuut
I'm curious what it's like when you aren't faster. Ik I always trusted, but I'm curious how much of a deficit you throw away just by trusting. Interesting to think about, cause I've had matches that are 5-6, me winning...but...where I could have saved 3 goals but was 2x as far as my teammate and assumed he'd go for it and didn't realize he didn't in time.
Late night thoughts lol. I'm trying to figure out why the majority of the playerbase actively prefers throwing away the ball on a shit touch instead of trusting their teammate to do extremely basic clears even.
I think I'm moreso noting that if the entire playerbase collectively agreed to trust and it became common sense to not hesitate as long (as in, as if basic gamesense for midranks became known because it's essential) the quality of matches would be much much higher.
I'm noting this because I play melee @ low level and at that we all have the gamesense of high level, it's just different amounts of being able to apply it and therefore being at severe disadvantages. Meanwhile, RL just has....a really low skill level compared to the community size? Not talking techskill or high level reads, moreso just mean basic A to B logic, such as not going on a pass that your opponents are already clearing because "oh they might miss the clear".

^^^ you can't. You likely forfeited previous game and didn't see the demotion, and it showed it after the next game.

Man people are testy in potato ranks, my last three games I had people yelling at their teammates. It's rough out there.

Are there any good sites where you can keep track of your RL inventory? I used to use GreatPass, but it looks like they've gone offline

What do you guys reckon is a good ball park to aim for on White Kalos? I'm seeing them sit around 40-45 keys but often with no interest or takers. I'm trying to low ball my way to some with an offer of around 35 keys since they don't seem to have many people seeking them right now. Too low?
CountAntonius

never too low for a lowball. You can try. Problem is people treat those price sheets as a damn bible and refuse to drop prices at all. It says 42-58. You can always try for 35.

Yeah that's a real major issue I've started to notice. I use them as a guide, but from there I try to see what is or isn't selling around those values and push them lower if they're not moving hands very fast. However there's so many sellers who post the same thing at the same price days and days on end all the while declining every offer under the premise of them selling at X value that the sheet says despite no takers showing up.
Of course they're not obligated to accept an offer, but half the reason the prices end up so high is because they use the first few takers as a metric of the average value and then take forever to actually fall off due to people being so adamant to stick to the price list. I'm actually amazed the Endo is still costing so much, but in that case people are actually snapping them up still.

Yep it is an issue. Low level trading is much more tolerable.When I tried to buy my zombas I got so much shit thrown my way by people for going a few keys under the price sheet. People who like you said were trying to sell them for days on discord with no success.

I knew getting getting a good placement was going to be something but really didn't expect this... Playing 3v3 standard and solo by each other and playing roughly the same, lost a game or two more on standard and ended up in gold I, a little dissapointing coming from rising star but eh no problem. Had two matches left on solo and suprisingly ended up in Diamond I (coming from rising star), definitely didn't expect that! Won the last game against two GC's, exhilarating as hell but now I'm kinda afraid to keep playing solo haha. Guess I'm gonna try rising in 3v3 standard first

The ranking system in this is such garbage. Win 4 in a row. No change. Lose 1. Down division.
Dusktildawn48
Member
Uh well it did.
Unless you were like...low plat and played 4 champs, then lost to a bronze team.
The point gain from even a whole 2 promotions of difference is enough to div up from less wins than that, let alone to offset one loss.
Maybe delayed rank update from a diff thing? Hm

Could be. Just gets frustrating.
Yeahh, this is why I just focus on trying to get okay at rl nowadays

What do you believe is the best playlist to play with playing solo? Outside of 1s
1s is useful because at mid-high level theres a ridiculous amount of use for flicks and overall powershots if anyone gives you room. 2s is useful too, but the rotation is extremely easy to learn so I'm still unsure how effective it is at teaching people how to truly play the game. 3s is...useful but unless you're a hyper carry you're kinda unable to force wins even when the best in lobby.
Ask pep he'd know better than me lmao. Everyone has different opinions on this topic.

I mean I have 300 hours in this game, but when I'm alone I'm usually playing solo standard. Which I hear is just terrible.
This mode is errmm
Well, some love it and swear you can carry it
Some are top 100 and swear it's uncarryable and they had to grind over 100hr until they won off the statistical average that they were slightly better than their opponents team overall.
Then ik a guy with an esl elite tag who says it's 100% worthless and you'll never learn off of it
2s. Once you're good enough individually, it's easier to carry a teammate, but you still have a teammate to help you out when you make a mistake. Great for helping you learn mechanics and dribbling/flicks as you generally have more space and you'll definitely get more touches than 3s while still learning the basics of rotating and not tilting from 1s.

Or just be me and have forgotten how to play 1s over the past month or two and now I'm bad at rl again :3

Easiest solution is to just not use chat for anything but gg at the end. It's little more than a distraction.

Well I don't know how to feel. I got ranked for my first time in Duel and just barely made it to gold. I managed to throw more of those games than I needed to a few days ago so not surprised to be ranked so low. I feel like I probably should be able to do better than just gold and hopefully I will, but at the same time I'm kind of not that disappointed since I've literally hardly touched the mode.
I could probably have gotten a much higher starting rank though if I could flick with some level of reliability. I swear I conceded so many goals during placement, particularly when I got matched with Diamonds, all basically my own fault for trying to get the flick and watching it fall lazily off the side of my car or fail to scoop it on the roof to begin with.
