@aromadilea @TooEpik_ I feel like the average Zarya player back then managed bubbles better and in general played Dva more and ate so much more CDs in the old days

But I might have a skewed perspective of what true "average" is since I was a tank main in 6v6

[Kappa @kappadumb]

@stillinsanebtw @TooEpik_ IMO it's gotta be learned helplessness from 5v5. Way harder to come back down 1 or 2 in 5v5

[Kappa @kappadumb]

@TooEpik_ That and the supports probably don't yet recognize the windows in 6v6 that they can switch from healing to playmaking

[Kappa @kappadumb]

@TooEpik_ Seen so many claims that 6v6 is healbotting & its like bro no. They only feel that way cuz the avg skill of tanks have dropped, they play like apes with minimal cover usage or coordination so these players need more healing & still int every other fight

@FrogmasterDL @EloWarrior73819 @JUDGEMENTCORE @muhamedav 5v5 tanks, famously clearly punishable

@puck269 @VFlince I dont think 132 is a bad comp. I want it to be a situationally good comp, that plays to the strengths of a team that is skewed DPS.

132 was a fairly high risk, high exec comp before but w/ how some tanks are rn, the risk:reward might be too brutal unless you're a scrim stack

@VFlince @SE13_Resident @Aa61413240 132 doesnt have to be god tanks. Old heads know that 132 was viable in the old days, even at the highest level: https://t.co/YZ0bH3aKr5

Unfortunately, the playerbase has grown weak & frail from years of 5v5, idk if they can handle 132 in current day. Not without adjustments

@ReshiRed_ @VFlince 1-3-2 dive was so fun back in the day, I actually encouraged my teams to go triple DPS if they didnt have confidence as offtank.

Nowadays, it'd be hard to do w/ current tanks esp Mauga & Roadhog. And Hazard might supersede all other tanks as solo dive if things arent adjusted

@dorkburger84 @GambelerQuail Its a hard topic. As you can tell, I err on the side of double standards by picking & choosing case-by-case to try & do best by those that are currently stuck on the low end of the social power dynamic. It does contradict the lofty goal tho, I agree. Thanks for your perspective

[Kappa @kappadumb]

@dorkburger84 @GambelerQuail In your opinion, do you think it differs (for a cishetero date) between genders? As a guy, I wont bring up politics, it feels... aggressive? At the same time, I'd understand if my date asked

I wont blame women for having filter tactics to protect themselves & their time but idk

[Kappa @kappadumb]

@Danaturr @GambelerQuail You spend too much time drinking from the Twitter algorithm to be this bent over "obsessed with politics."

It's also pretty normal to vibe check a potential partner on their values. Earlier the better because nobody wants to waste their time dating a roach in sheep's clothes

[Kappa @kappadumb]

@but_vii Ehh, nothingburger take. One side will call summer units a cash grab that wastes dev time, the other side will call them a fun, playful revisit of a character instead of throwing them away after their one relevant patch

Both sides are valid

@to_my_king i know google and twitter is spying on me because i just mouthed off to a grown ass man this week for doing exactly this in a discord server where he was at least 10 years older than most of the members

@cape_mighty -Context is pic of Takarie at Club Chaldea, her weekly radio gig she does as part of her work related to Mashu
-Dressed as Mashu voluntarily
-Not everyone knows Mashu's VA's name, let alone ID her by appearance
-Tweet prob intended for FGO/TM audience

Its not that srs, chill out

@enigmadraws @WarnTV Most of the Ignite 2025 winners are 30 year olds who were pro in OW almost 10 years ago. Half of the entire scene dropped out from OW because they couldn't keep up

Try saying this again when your scene isn't dominated by washed-up uncs

[Kappa @kappadumb]

@enigmadraws @y2kangmin @WarnTV There was someone in my friend group who was hardstuck mid-gold and every time he logged on to play with us, I knew the night was going to be 90% losses because he doesn't have ears. Or eyes. Or hands.

He was GM2 in Rivals in 2 weeks

[Kappa @kappadumb]

@vampiregang777 @feffielower This is true but a majority of those players fall off and you get an influx of new name grinders and superstars.

I don't think that's happened yet for Rivals and genuinely I think it's cuz there's no widespread authentic interest in it as a competitive game

I can't believe the ludwig comment about not streaming sf6 is the take away for some people after we watched him prepare a secret counter pick perfectly honed in to dissect tyler1. That's the most fgc move I've seen in a minute, he literally saved that shit for nationals.
