fast horizontal jumps like jay does on this mid are super hard to dodge, also from the soldier's perspective there's pretty much no reason not to go for the spoon when you're doing saw bombs like this to get a potential -195 and retain two rockets to use after

def fun to use as a soldier but pretty gimmicky and silly mechanic to have in the game as there's pretty much no counter play to a soldier landing on u at mach ten with a spoon (a scout further up on highground on snake mid could've prevented the bomb but obviously u can just wait until a scout is pressured back), with regular bombs u can bait out rockets by dodging, surf, and the soldier has to hit at least two good directs to kill you as a medic versus one crit mg

kinda curious to see if some region will ban it for a season cause it surely won't change play that much but i think it'd be interesting to see the pain train/equlizer decision rather than every soldier aspiring to get good at mg and running it all the time lol

just take an online class in linguistics for fucks sake we are all losing braincells (pro tip: how do u think definitions get made? some all knowing human oracle snaps his finger and the word appears in merriam-webster? fuck no dude, language is constantly changing and new words are added based on common usage, even someone who knows nothing about linguistics knows this just based off common sense alone, maybe if u werent constantly crafting up new shitposts u could sit back and think about some of the stuff u say and realize how quickly it falls apart under even minimal scrutiny)

for someone who said in other threads that college is useless and a scam you really do perfectly prove the point that college is actually useful to educate ignorant morons like you who think they know what they're talking about and constantly talk out of their asses

edit: to reiterate, the reason ppl hate on u here is not that you are dumb, it is that you are so defensive and argumentative and refuse to admit that maybe you don't know what you're talking about. put the ego aside and stop posting like a pretentious prick and people will be fine with u asking questions even if they are a bit silly (look at rahmed he posted way too many silly threads and questions but wasnt an asshole about it so it wasn't a big deal)

nah max the dictionary has no bearing on AimIsADick he behaves by his own rules
honestly surprised he hasnt started spewing prescriptivist grammar bs about how in fact he is right and the rest of the world and the way language is actually used is wrong

i love how the counterargument to 'conflate already carries a negative connotation' was for AimIsADick, PhD, to say 'well, what if someone used it in the other sense of the word, to mix! then i would HAVE to specify' as if citing the fact that there are in fact Two Senses of a word means you have to bastardize the word with some awful prefix instead of just writing like a normal human and letting the reader decide which you mean based on a thing called Context

hello it is me, highschool philosopher mcgee, i shall resolve Every Single Possible Ambiguity in my War Against Context

i studied philosophy and am in grad school doing research in natural language processing but i hope my pedigree wont mis-disqualify me from discussion with sir AimIsADick (please do keep replying though i cant wait to make a chatbot version of u trained on your awful posts)

me want soldier gib combo scout tryouts

deer (old med player who happened to go to my highschool and live in boston too) asked me to go to a thundercat concert back in like 2016 and i wanted to go but i had a match and now i Very Much Regret it

another classic was kicking a girl out after sleeping with her because i had a match.... i've also played multiple scrims and matches in front of my ex but she didn't mind it, just read a book and thought it was funny how into it i got

and yet another one L was when i was in sweden for a week staying with a girl, but had to cut the trip short in order to get to birmingham for an iseries (forget which one)

in playoffs round 1 last season vs gcl, my phone somehow mistook my comms for 'ok google' and started blabbering at me and at that exact moment that i looked down at my phone (didn't even reach to turn it off yet), a sniper did the gullywash river hero shot and killed me and we lost the golden cap 5-4

and we actually played a half of this on badlands and went up 3-0 with my flank scout wrech getting a grand total of One Heal (it didnt count buffs similar to sizzlingstats, so i healed him from 124hp one time)
i found the match page LMAO oh boy esea days were wild, nice guy wrech telling people to kill themselves in the match comms https://play.esea.net/match/8441139

also akemi u are a gigantic pussy ROFL change ur name back, u needa own up to the shitlord status u created for urself w/ that alias

i will never comprehend RGL's reasoning with map picks, why not let the actual people who are playing in the league vote on whether or not they want to remove a map and replace it? ESEA did this and it resulted in, surprise surprise, players not being angry at the league every season for forcing map changes without their consient! For a "community league", RGL really sure loves to jam in maps and prevent the community from having a say in what maps they play

Yes, the testers in the new map cup decided this was the best of the new maps. Now, you let the current players vote: "if you had to remove any map from the rotation, which would it be" and then "which map would you like to replace [map people voted to remove]?" Even if you restrict it to just between the best new map (reckoner in this case) and the old map (villa), letting people actually vote on it seems like the only fair way to do things. (this isn't to mention that blands/granary/other new maps should probably still be a choice in case people actually prefer one that the small subset of testers didn't like best)
