QC trickjump vids are now a thing

Nyx is too damn mobile, also
>name video jumping around
>theme of video not "Jump Around" by House of Pain
what did they mean by this?

>mfw my rail shoots straight through Scalebearer twice

>too mobile
no such thing

ehhh Nyx is pretty slippery, if you consider that she has an escape in the form of her ability, plus she is I think the fastest champ in the game. She could use a wee bit of tuning imo

nyx is like 1/10th as fast as anarki and most characters can exceed her top speed with their own movement maneuvers

i want to tune nyx's slippery ass on my face

Who wouldn't?

Bump

>mfw my 3/25 teammate picks up the Mega/RA before I can

>same player walks past green armors and health bubbles when he's not full

How do we fix the duel mode?

>proceeds to charge stacked enemies with basic MG

Need to fix Netcode first, then think about major changes to the game overall.

Goodnight /arena/ last bump

by not playing dogshit qc

>teammate who already has rail/lightning nicks the rocket launcher and mega when you just spawned
ONE OR THE OTHER YOU BITCH

I played against a CPMA-dad in reflex yesterday for a couple of hours
he kept voting for old as fuck quake maps that play like ass in reflex while constantly saying "this is so much worse than CPMA"
that's when I realized that the original reflex maps are actually pretty damn good and that not a single one of the 1:1 quake -> reflex conversions are worth a shit, aside of maybe use & abuse.
dads are the problem.

weapons only take 5 secs to spawn in qc to be fair
reflex maps are great but the quake maps are great too

I still don't understand why people unironically want to duel on campgrounds.

what's wrong with it?

way too big, you can avoid each other for 10 minutes.

haven't played qc since 2nd beta. how's the game? i heard they added a new character and that the beta won't be closing on weekdays like before

It's a pretty good game ravaged by bugs and netcode issues.

has the netcode at least been improved a bit? the last time i played, the laggiest player was the best player.

It's like a line graph last beta it was ok now it's shite.

it got better, but now it's worse than it was before

well has the performance at least gotten better? no more eating 8gbs of ram?
sorry for the questions but im stilling downloading the update
