so Na'vi are all but out of the MLG.TKO .... dreadful displays against Empire (2-0 and boy do Empire look good), Power Rangers (2-0) and Rox.Kis (1-1 but Rox basically threw the first game).... let's hope Na'vi bounce back in the D2CL....

as for MLG, GO SADBOYS GO!!!!

The one that was giving high latency didn't exactly have an issue per say in terms of the actual route but there was a link issue somewhere (not advertising correctly). So, asked them to revert it back to old routing.

can we make a separate fucking ping thread? it pisses me off that the only "discussion" that takes place in this thread is regarding pings, when there are 2 huge tourneys going on....

Everyone has one of those matches in a while, where the team just doesn't perform well but if it's happening 70% of the time, there is only one common denominator.

Well it was pretty good in start i had a win steak of 9 matches in row then i don't know what happened i started getting weird people as team mates, one example my team had 3 supports and we did not had any courier for first 10 minutes and nobody bother to upgrade it to flying one they didn't even put any wards needless to said we lose pretty badly, and the people who pick riki when opposite has bh and slardar both i mean common why always me. looks like i have to start playing in a party so the chances of getting "weird" people will be no more.

Agreed, making a new thread right now if someone hasn't done so already.

Also, sorry my disappearance all of a sudden last night. My internet connection died as my tenant is getting a new connection and the current connection has been disabled(starting from last night). Hopefully, it will be up in a couple of days(by Monday or Tuesday).

Oh, in that case that's valve matchmaking for you. I'm not sure but from what I've heard, valve tries to keep you as close as possible to the 50% winrate mark. So once you start racking up some wins, you get stupid teammates. The only solution is to grind yourself upto a higher MMR but even then there are some retards who love to ruin games.

if it's possible for you guys, play EUW when queuing solo... my experience has been MUCH, MUCH better over there
The opposite for me, queued for 2 solo games. Supports didn't buy a courier or actually played their roles lol

My solo queue experience has gone to shit ever since Valve removed the solo queue preference feature. Only won 30% of my games ever since that change happened. <_<

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
