@anusyuxi @FantasmaOnPc @tannerslays ??? its been trending back up for a while now. The worst state apex had ever been in, was during the first major support rework in 2024; back when you basically had to run 3 supports. After that, the game has been in a much better state
@F3irin@ApexLiveComms most of the players are there because there are seasons where the ranks are just inflated as fuck. And frankly if this many players are in Diamond, then theres a serious problem with the ranking system not being an accurate measurement of a player's true placement atm.
@kingw1zard_@Replusses@ApexLiveComms Like having an "actual endgame" requires the WHOLE lobby to have some above average game sense. The median player doesnt have that to begin with. Making shit-lo solo queue wouldnt address your problem & would only make ranked a lot less fun to play.
@kingw1zard_@Replusses@ApexLiveComms if you want a more "comp experience" then climb out of plat. If you cant even do that then you're not entitled to that experience. It's always going to be a clusterfuck in shit-lo. Also the "true" ranked experience has always been more fun in a full stack. get some friends man
@kingw1zard_@Replusses@ApexLiveComms Not everyone deserves to climb 🤷♂️This is like one of the few game where you as an individual have a lot of control on the outcome of every match; especially in gold - plat. Make better decisions and you'll be climbing.
@Replusses@kingw1zard_@ApexLiveComms Solo queue isnt even hard in those ranks to begin with 😭 I legit climb faster in Plat to Diamond solo queuing; but full stacking with my brother and friend will always be more fun.
its one thing to say you dont like having to do land acknowledgements all the time. I think it's a lil cringe and holds less and less relevence because we're a nation of immigrants. But calling it "divisive" reeks of history denialism.
Land acknowledgments are presented as mandatory to many persons in public sector jobs, including health authorities like @VCHhealthcare where org policy says you MUST perform one if you meet with 3 or more people.
No one should be forced to utter these divisive and highly-politicized statements as a condition of their employment. And yet that’s exactly the situation 1000s of BCers find themselves in.
Any silly person who still wants to do a land acknowledgment will be allowed to do so. But the majority of us who are opposed would not be forced to.
Canada and Ontario have been in economic decline for 25+ years.
Blaming it on any one particular partisanship ignores how our political class across the spectrum allowed short term thinking to undermine the future.
Well, the bill is now due, and too many remain in denial.
Kinda mixed on this; on the one hand he's showing class and respect to the opposition outside of Canada, which is good;
The issue is that this shows that he's clearly capable of being a more productive leader of opposition, but essentially chooses not to for political reasons.
@MidstreamMoney@priorconfirmed Prices are up in the US as well dipshit. Most of the companies here are foreign owned. This sector is heavily subsidized. The cost of extracting and refining heavy crude is dogshit compared to light crude. Thats literally why you see US companies hesitate on venezuella's oil.
@priorconfirmed@camus_absurd its also like this when we talk about cars too; people think that we dont get compact cars anymore or any cool sports cars because of emissions laws but both Japan and Europe produce some of the best EDM/JDM models that never hit NA shores despite having stricter emissions laws.
@ParrotCapital Also Norway doesnt have heavy crude; which is a shittier grade of oil that's generally sold at a lower price per barrel than the light crude, which is worth more and has a higher ROI in extracting as well.
@ParrotCapital Oil production increased under Trudeau dumbfuck;
Also the majority (~70%) of oil profits goes to private firms in Canada vs Norway where the majority of profits goes to the government budget; which means they can actually reinvest that money for more real economic growth
