This is a really bad post.

gg somebody help, been a really long time since i had a match this intense. timeless is cracked

@BoiSlipp the reason lower level players get dominated by stuff like this is just that. they’re lower level players. learning to adapt to small things like that is part of the game. the other team’s sniper is almost never going to be fully buffed doing this peek, and if your sniper full charge bodyshots them and they don’t die because the rest of your team isn’t spamming the sniper… tough luck.

this issue is not widespread. even if it were widespread, i don’t think it should be banned because it’s just awareness of how the game works. it’s not unfair enough that it will likely change the outcome of a game and it’s beatable; one long range soldier rocket puts them in range of a bodyshot.

also, idk where you’re getting the “still somehow manage to hit the 1 pixel of their hitbox that’s sticking out, they’ll be alive and you will be headshotted because the glitch-abusing sniper is gonna see you way earlier than you will see them”. this is COMPLETELY untrue. source engine has peeker’s advantage; the peeker, as long as they’re peeking far from a corner, will see the side of the other sniper before the other sniper can see any part of them. even ignoring peeker’s advantage - half of the sniper’s hitbox is sticking out, not 1 pixel lmao

For the love of god stop deleting every single post you consider off topic, mothership. these forums are dead as fuck bc any juicy drama posted instantly gets deleted. why does rgl even let people make threads when the only threads that dont have their posts nuked is the frag clip thread and admin-made announcement threads

why did you only have the poll open for one day

Ok since apparently I need to be “on topic” to keep my posts from being deleted:

I think it would benefit anyone looking at this thread to have context on ghost before using your time to try out for their team.
Her plan to “move up” with a previous advanced team didn’t work out because they were cut.
She is not “subbing” in invite, she paid for a roster spot.
Doesn’t have any experience playing at a level higher than 3rd place advanced.
First two sentences of this thread are really misleading, be aware what you’re getting yourself into in case it falls apart or isn’t what you were looking for.

delete weapons “Sniper Rifle” “Machina” “Hitman’s Heatmaker” “Bazaar Bargain” “The Classic” “Sydney Sleeper” “The AWPer Hand” “Shooting Star”

im still gonna do it GG’s Only

@TheS4rr said in The RGL Expiremental Map Cup is Being Wasted.:

Lota new players in here talking about maps being discredited that they have never played at any level of play, much less a high level of play… Borneo and ramjam have their issues, but that doesn’t discount them as fun maps to play in the competitive scene. Imo borneo and ramjam being in rotation once a year each would be very fun. Borneo’s biggest issues are last (name a pl map without a crap last… I’ll wait) and the fact that it takes a while to push (although I think that is simply a part of the map and not an actual problem). Ramjam’s issue is basically that it’s a little larger than most koth maps, but in my experience, it is still very fun and much more fun than cascade (although I haven’t played the new version that is being tested in the cup).

Borneo and ramjam are both bad maps for HL. Ramjam has been tested on 3(?) separate occasions and each time it was written off as awful in general. Borneo is just absolutely awful. The only redeeming point on that map is the 2nd point; every other point is so terrible that it’s not even worth looking at. It was consistently ranked as the least popular map in the rotation in UGC when it was played, and for good reason. There have been 0 changes to either of these maps since they were tested and written off. The developers are either inactive or do not care about the map enough to make further changes. Please god do not use nostalgia-tainted lenses to trick yourself into thinking either of these maps were good to play.

@Micahlele It’s not just that this idea of fun is subjective, it’s that it isn’t even based on any particular metric that’s universally applicable.

What do you think subjective means

@TheS4rr No

who asked

im not referring to just that thread but seeing that literally 95% of the posts were deleted and not the actual spam thread itself was dumb. idk how you conclude that thread wasn’t a meme thread, take one look at it. what kind of comments do u think are actually going to be made on a thread like that?

the “mission statement” you quoted specifically says it’s supposed to be an OPEN SPACE, not a fuckin echo chamber where only wholesome things can be posted. I mean, you guys locked the crouch peaking thread, and for what? because it was talked about enough?? its a forum for fucks sake.

and finally, lft/lfp threads. that is such bullshit that u guys allow negative criticisms of players and teams, those get flagged as spam and get deleted to keep peoples feelings safe. idk why you would quote that specific rule when you say that “unfettered comments” shouldn’t be allowed on lfts, using that as an umbrella term as anything that’s not a positive comment on someone’s gameplay or as a teammate.

goated mental, fun guy to be around

Just wanted to leave a message here. I rang a few times for yeye and I was really impressed with how they functioned as a team despite their lack of experience. It’s clear to me that their core has picked up fundamentals quickly and they’ve learned them well. Their track record of going from open to high challenger in about a year’s time is very impressive, and I’m sure whoever wants a learning experience playing as not just a player, but a teammate, should consider playing for yeye.
