In every competitive game I've played, I'm at best above average by their ranks.
Whatever their choice of names, I can only go above the one in the middle.
Those micro precise mouse movements they do, perfectly timed keyboard taps or amazingly accurate controller turns are completely beyond me.
And I'm ok with that, because I report them all for cheating anyway.
I've used Xoris since I was mr 3, now I'm lr 5. It does well with crits and status imo. Xoris does especially well when there's like 40 enemies standing right next to each other. The damage is fine, it's the survivability. I use Hildryn Prime with primed redirection and arcane aegis, works well enough before the damage gets too high. I could try shield gating with some other frames, but I don't really feel like it tbh.
have you heard about our new lord and saviour Arcane Persistance? You generally also need a method of good health recovery, but it makes health tanks super viable and honestly quite comfy for level cap content. I now prefer healthtanking over shieldgating for stuff like maxed Void Cascade fissures.
Hildryn is unfortunately just not very good for really high level stuff. Her quirk of her shields being her energy means you can't regain your shields with Pillage when they get inevitably one-tapped late game.
also there's always Revenant, if you just want boring old immortality with no fuss.
I managed to reach 1.5mil average in damage with Atlas' fists.
Ivara while stealthed can reach 10mil, but only on shots to the face.
Red crit stacks are a really big deal.
I was always really good in games like overwatch. I'm not super competitive in general, but i climbed to masters a few times when i tried. I played a bit of marvel rivals too and it was the same. Then i started playing Deadlock, and i think i'm just fine with forever silver there.
yes I have 3000 hours in game but I also have another 4000 hours in a third party build planning software, searching a database and a wiki, and watching Youtube videos to understand mechanics and builds.
No but kinda, I think I've only got like 1k hrs in Factorio and probably only 200 hrs doing external research for it. I'm v much a Factorio baby, I don't think I even made it to all the planets last time I played.
Up until a few weeks ago, I played overwatch almost daily since overwatch 1 launch. I struggle to stay in platinum ranks. I can shot call and coach better than play it.
I spent almost 2 years playing valorant because that was the only modern game which worked on my PC but damm I never even crossed Diamond it was i guess or maybe Gold I dont remember. I understood that competitive gaming is not for me. No rank pushing and all can be done by me. Switched to story mode game like Far Cry1 or 2, i dont remember but used to get nausea while playing for around 10-20 mins after that i just completely stopped playing games.
This is me in Path of Titans. I have 100+ hours and have yet to get a single PVP kill. There is a big skill delta; many players have been playing for years and I am just rubbish at playing with joysticks.
i have played halo infinite a lot (~200 hrs, not that much but my highest fps game) and the way its designed it always pairs me with people who are pretty evenly matched, with occasional ones outside of the norm. which is fine for moment-to-moment gameplay but takes away any sense of how good I actually am compared to the average (and any sense of progression that could come with that)

Only if nobody is observing me.

More like:
"You have 4000 hours in this game. You must really like it!"
"Not really."
That's me with Factorio. I don't really like crack anymore, I just have to do it a bunch now or I get the shakes.

Me in Warframe. Can't even do level 3000 enemies for fuck's sake.
EtherWhack@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 224d
Bias you weapons more toward crits. Also, depending on the enemy faction, slash and viral can also be really helpful as they ignore armor/shields.

There's more game then the first hour? Liar

Probably wouldn't have 3000+ hours, if you just waltzed through the whole thing. Like, that's boring when it's no challenge anymore.

Me in sim racing games, after thousands of hours still 3 seconds behind the leader.
