No mic when playing competitively. I'm not social at all and want to win more than anything. Makes for bad conversation, so I've decided to stop talking.
This will be the last post I make for a while, if not ever. Basically, I'm only using my mic while streaming games that I'm not considering being competitive in. In the rare case someone is helping me with pointers, then I'll unmute for that. I'm only going to respond to constructive feedback or to say hello sometimes. That's it, unless I'm playing something I'm not gonna play competitively.
If you want to know the reasoning, I'll just use this old saying. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." I don't have anything nice to say when I'm losing in a game I want to play competitively. I overthink and am extremely hard on myself. That will probably never change. So, to not even have the chance to offend anyone, I will remain silent. I'm not going to give up on playing Smash, but trying to be mellow and relax only makes me lose harder, which upsets me even more.
At this point, I think this is the only logical course of action. I'm not mentally mature enough to consider it "just a game", but I'm not irresponsible enough to continue being unmuted while trying to change my mentality.
Discord is about to put your public messages on Google
Discord will start making messages from Discoverable public servers searchable on Google and other search engines from mid-December.
The feature is ON by default in most regions, but you can opt out:
User Settings → Data & Privacy → turn off “Show my message content from Discoverable channels on web pages.”
In the EU, UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia and South Korea, it will be OFF by default.
Private servers, DMs and group DMs are not included. Usernames and avatars won’t appear alongside indexed messages.
I am really surprised that we got some balance changes this patch and that the devs effectively added Ranked back into the game without splitting matchmaking into separate player pools.
Patch notes are here. A very quick summary.
Consistency/Bugfix
- Blitzcrank had many bugs fixed with their kit
- Braum’s ultimate is now more punishable on block, and has been made as negative as possible with the time we had available.
- Caitlyn now has an easier time hitting S1 > [S1] on air opponents and [S1] > [S1] on grounded opponents, along with some other buffs.
- Jinx’s std.[H] functions has an updated hitbox to match std.H
- Senna got a large amount of bug fixes. Her Super Assist no longer does insane things that players haven’t found. Thank you for not finding them.
- Vi is now at more advantage when opponents air block her special attacks.
Balance
- Ekko and Akali had their normal frame data nerf. We don’t expect this to be a massive power shift, but it will help you take defensive actions against them.
- The Akali Pod has some updates to Akali based on feedback and reception from the last patch.
- Teemo’s pretty hopeless against pushblock right now. We’re giving some minor adjustments so he can fight it better (he still sucks against pushblock, intentionally).
- Senna is getting minor adjustments to wraith.air.S1 to make it more reactable, and anti-air or cross-up wraith.S2 will no longer obliterate you.
- Thresh https://t.co/PyifjZn2dQ no longer hits behind him, but his super assist functions a bit more as expected.
- Both Lux and Samira can now fire 2 fireballs in 2x Assist. 2x Assist is now quite a bit better with those champs.
Lux
- We did not expect the j.S2 cancel routes. We have talked about it, and decided that they are Cool, and we will be leaving them.
- We expected the fuzzies. You can have them.
- Instead of changing her combo routes, we’re nerfing the damage on S2 super and buffing the damage on holding S1 super. In return, we’re giving some buffs to her neutral and pressure.
- We quite like how she ended up!
That’s all have fun playing bye
I play Smash Ultimate with the goal of being able to beat the best of the best driving me, but survival will always take priority. I'm looking to start a second job. This goal of mine might have to be put on hold cause I will probably not have enough time to work on it (until I get a job that allows me to do that).
Also..... if I'm only going to have a small amount of free time to myself, I'd rather spend it having fun. Smash Ultimate is a personal test for me. A chance to chase after the pros I watched playing Smash 4 (the ones not banned anyway). That goal keeps me going when I wanted to quit, but it's not fun man. I, currently, can't laugh at my mistakes. I can't see disrespect and consider it funny. I only want to play one character because I know that's the most efficient way for me, personally, to get better. But it's not fun. I want to play other things and goof off. And if I have the option of using my minimal free time to stress over Smash or have fun, I'm choosing fun.
I'll do my best, but I'm not dedicating full streams to Smash anymore. I will hop on the NA Smash Ladder and play tournaments only when I have spare time.
@LucyTheLamia@JDMH_ Ranked mode is currently not available? I haven't had the chance to try it yet. Also, what interview is the person in the other reply referencing?
