@captaincoach_mr I’d love to see a game mode with hero swapping turned off

Flats/Lyte drama TLDR for the unemployed (it's surprisingly worse than I thought):

- Flats makes a reaction video covering an X post made by @ItsSomjuu saying that Marvel Rivals should take 1-2 months to stop releasing content and focus on balance.
- Lyte reacts to Flats' reaction, Flats reacts to Lyte's reaction of his reaction (this keeps going lol). Lyte says the game should be balanced around the best players. Flats says the game isn't balanced for people like Lyte (including himself) and wonders why Lyte even plays the game. Lyte says the game has a mix of balancing between high/low rank.
- Flats says balance is subjective and more manpower on the balance team won't help. Flats says Lyte's content is too harsh towards the devs (referring to comments like "fire Zhiyong"). Lyte points out a lot of his content is satirical including his opinions towards devs. Flats says Lyte acts like this too much for this to be true.
- Lyte says the low rank players' opinion don't really matter when it comes to game balance. Flats says they do. Then, they BOTH say their opinion matters more than the other and start hard egoing each other lol

Here's when the insults start flying out:

- A whole lot of rambling about random hero bs from both parties during which Flats calls Lyte a "dumbass", a "bum", a "leech" (Lyte agrees with this one), one of the "crazy people" who plays the game too much, says he "genuinely might be a fucking moron", bad at reacting, implies he's bad in the eyes of other pros, heavily implies Lyte and his community are part of the toxic chud/manosphere culture at several points, but never explicitly says it and implies Lyte's community is the same group of "incels" that attacked him on X for his initial reaction, but hopes this is not true, yet in an X post Flats @ s Lyte and tells him to "come get your boys." Lyte says he never told his community to attack Flats, however Flats critiques Lyte for not shutting down his own chat for calling Flats a "shill" during his reaction. Says Lyte's entire reaction was "genuinely miserable" and calls Lyte a grifter. Lyte doesn't deny this and says he tries to use his influence to affect the game's balance.
- Flats says most "20k follower" Rivals content creators are drama farmers (although not talking about Lyte specifically here). Lyte says Flats "doesn't know anything," however does actually say he'd take Flats' opinion over a low-rank player when it comes to balance. Says he doesn't hate him, but the way he reacted to his reaction was "braindead" and his tier list is "dogshit" lol (you can check Lyte's recent posts as to why). Says Flats doesn't understand nuance, is "jestermaxxing," is also a leech, delusional, and attacked him for no reason. Sarcastically says Flats' life is "SOO hard." Both say the other won't take accountability.

A lot of arguments/statements taken in bad faith, contradictions, hypocrisy, misconstruing info, strawmanning, but most importantly, unnecessary insults. Why don't y'all come on @CoachMillsOW and my podcast to sort this out like adults?

I remember my conversation with @hasanthehun when he hosted me in his house for an interview.
I saw how much he was moved and wanted to learn more from people who lived the genocide in Gaza.
It’s of course impossible for Hasan and others to enter Gaza because of restrictions from the Israeli occupation..
The only way for the world to see and hear the truth is through the eyes of Palestinians who document the constant Israeli crimes or lived under the occupation.

We’re all being censored or de-platformed some way. Thank you Hasan for refusing to be silenced by ignorant people.
I hope one day we can welcome you to Gaza and in a #FreePalestine.

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

A girls' school in Iran brought a member of the IRGC-run Basij paramilitary to speak to students. The girls welcomed the speaker by taking off their headscarves & chanting "get lost, Basiji".

Teenage girls have been at the forefront of protests for days.
