alright can someone explain the rules of this

IIRC it was 4-3, then we had a draw, making it 5-4, then went 5-5, 6-5, 6-6, 6-7

To win in ranked you need to be ahead by 2 points. In this case you might have just reached the maximum amount of rounds allowed for ranked.

I'm not 100% sure of the official ranked settings but looking at what can be done in custom matches:

number of rounds ( 1 to 10 )
Overtime rounds (1 to 6 and infinite) - infinite being used in proleague i believe
Overtime score difference ( 1 or 2 )

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Finally got Gold 1 after an entire season of hitting Silver 4, then being dragged back down to Silver 1.Meanwhile the absolute worst person at FPS games I've ever seen got immediately ranked at Platinum 1.

There is no justice.

Wait what? I'm so confused right now because there's a screen shot and everything, but isn't it just first to 4, or first to 6 if the other team makes it to 3 too? I've done hundreds of ranked games and I can't remember it ever going to 7 :psyduck:

Best of 7 means there are seven rounds so the max score could be 4/3. Not seven wins

In my screenshot we had had a draw which gives both teams a point but beyond that my brain hurts trying to comprehend what happened.

I've seen some youtubers play with it like that, also with the skybox turned black so they can see when someone is peeking from the outside no matter what. It's borderline cheating imo.

EDIT: I mean the skybox thing is cheating, playing with full Gamma is prefectly fine but looks like rear end. But I know that even the top CS:GO players take advatage of that, so that they can see the pixel-wide peeks.

Yeah they did. IQ's electronics detector now allows you to see people, etc. through it (so it doesn't JUST show electronics and block everything else out now), and Tachanka's MG has a glass shield, similar to Blackbeard's.

EDIT: They also buffed Pulse so that he's great, then debuffed him so he's worse than what he was originally.

They actually made Tachanka objectively worse by obscuring his view with a bunch of bullshit.

Pulse is still way easier to play than he originally was.

I never really get to play IQ so dunno about that one.

Really? I never had any issues playing as Classic Pulse, but I dunno, I just feel like the more limited range hurts me more when I play as him now. Probably just me though - I don't really play him often nowadays anyway.

I didn't either, but that's because I used to be a Pulse main and got used to how old Pulse worked. Used to be you would only get intermittent signals and had to fill in the gaps with your own prediction of where they'd be etc, took more thinking and strategizing to play him effectively. Now you just get a constant signal that makes it trivial to track enemies. That was their goal with buffing Pulse, making him more accessible, they just went overboard and have since rolled back a bit. The distance didn't make that much of a difference for how I played since it was always up close engagements anyways.

I don't play Pulse as much anymore either because it's not as fun to me. There was always a debate in our group about playing objective Pulse vs roaming Pulse. I was always the former, so I still bring him out for maps/spots I know he's especially effective in that regard.

Yeah it was never really about "he's hard to play" more so that they just straight up made him easier to play. His debuff definitely made him worse but even in the state he is now he's a lot more powerful than he was before just because you get a continuous ping now.

Personally I find Pulse players are at their best when they are in full information mode and just hanging back.

It's not glamorous work but it's what wins games.

I get the temptation to roam though since you basically have a wall hack at your disposal but granting that same wall hack to your team while on an objective just seems like a better use of his bullshit gadget. :P

The range is basically the same as old Pulse, while you could technically see out to 10 meters with the original Pulse gadget, it was literally impossible to do so outside of controlled circumstances. The beeps were too faint.
