Constructor or Perforator?

q1 sng, there is no equal

this

...

hey i just copy&pasted the shit

This is not Ruby edition, this is edition.

constructor is cool but centering projectile fire improves aim so there is no equal

strenx finally not being a whiny bitch

I think EU finally got the email on how much $ is on the line in 2v2

can /arena/ muscle up a 2v2 team?

...

>tfw some NA bitch told me no one likes 2x2

lmao quake is so dead in NA
2x2 is extremely popular right now, pretty much every pro is practicing it.
Agent+Base
Cypher+Avek
Toxic+Noctis
Xron+Clawz
Silencep+Latromi
etc

just wait until he starts losing

>yfw Stenx never loses

don't make me dig up the video where he rq's vs rapha's 90% rail

he only whines when he loses. dont think ive ever seen a bigger baby.

how about a fully working game first?oh that's too hard for bethesda?

>Cypher+Avek
How can everyone else even compete?
Also why has cooller fucked off QC. He debuted strong but lost interest

youtube.com/watch?v=Fu8HIBAS2Kw

need more b2r webms /arena/

Shitters were not ready for nail memes

Dunno, he's actually in Navi so he's supposed to play but he doesn't.

>22/10
>calls others shitters

You are shitter.

>legendary champion
>duplicate
FUCK YOU TIM

HUH

ive not played an fps game of any kind for a month....
just came back.....
didnt realise i was playing on half dpi the entire time, now my wrist hurts like shit....
still got it tho

>....
Get back to plebbit faggot

HUH

...

HUH

I know. People who can't do a proper ellipsis should leaveā€¦

...

oooh nice image, you just made the fridge user.

Admittedly I didn't draw it myself.

why does matchmaking not fill up games when people leave? just got a 4v2 twice in a row

its broken

DUEL YOU FOOL

jesus i cant fucking wait for the vanilla mode

...

...

yeah it will expose the shitters

twitch
.tv/tastyspleentv

hal so mad he can't play smart and now that anarki is nerfed he can't just brainless cpma.

the absolute state of cpmababbies

rapha+dahang practicing it too

which probably indicates that 2v2 is gonna be an official mode or there will be money to be made from it in the future

HUAH

)

Who do you think will be killed first Tim or syncerror?

Nothing new, we knew it was going, it wasn't there in earlier version of the game
Todd will kill them both

QC needs bigger maps and party modes imo
the classes idea is only good in duel
active abilities are gay
no crash waifu
6/10

>the classes idea is only good in duel
Classes suck for duel and are only for team modes.

Reposting until SFM porn is made!

Nyx: a.uploadimmo.co/9Ky.mp3

Slash: a.uploadimmo.co/SjM.mp3

I haven't played the new update but I hate slim niggas using lightning gun on me or railing from far away because they're harder to hit ot getter closer to tanks only to die because we both had max stack but they can hold more health
-doom main

if you could supply that'd be appreciated

Sorry, I forgot to say why there were better in duel.
In duel running away is more practical because you can leave a kill half baked, you run away all the time to recover but in tdm and especially dm if you don't finish the job someone else will so all this shit with health and making people less consistent to land hits on is more damaging to non-duel gamemodes

I don't think either female was ripped for SFM

>get 5 berserker medals rune

Literally how the fuck

They need to bring in some more Quake 2 skins for this game. pic related would make for a good machine gun replacement.

heavy or starter?

Starter

i can get behind that

Generations Arena was QC's idea much earlier and done better in many aspects (such as game-specific powerups)
Too bad nobody cared. I commend the dev's dedication, though

herh

you can tell all the pros practicing 2v2 really enjoy what they're doing

With that MG there's still a few weapons to bring from Q2 that make sense for QC. SG, SSG, hyperblaster and RL. I want all that shit bad.

well rapha did say that he really likes 2v2 and prefers it over duel easily

The problem with Duel in QC is that trying to make maps that fit all modes was a mistake
I realize some of the mainstay Duel maps of old Quakes were also regular FFA maps, but they went too far with the scale in QC (I assume to also enable Sac)
Notice how the only good Duel maps are Corrupted Keep and Blood Run - the ones that are small enough to prevent cucked +back tactics (and even then it can be done)
Vale of Pnath is almost good but it's an even bigger downward slope when one person controls Heavy and Mega. Whoever gets the first kill will likely control both pickups, and if Heavy is popping after Mega and not the other way around, you're fucked. Heavy Armor is even more exposed than in Blood Run

hUh

Rapha just now: "Anarki is very strong in 2v2 TDM"
Umm, Anarkiisshitbabs?
And him and Dahang are proving it, Slash + Anarki winning against sane and griffin's double Nyx

why take a dump on anarki faggots, their kind is already destroyed

I'm taking a dump on people who claim he became useless
Just because he can't dominate on all modes and all situations anymore doesn't mean he's not strong or viable

speaking on pnath, when they gonna add that shit back to ffa rotation? having to play duel to see it is lame as fuck

agreed, it's better than tempest

people overexaggerate everything in times of reddit
you take a notch back and bandwagoning fucks be like "IT'S DEAD I'M SO GLAD THEY NERFED THIS SHIT HERO TO THE GROUND SO USELESS"
next thing they do is rage in some ffa beacuse anarki player still plows through them 50-8

>bloodrun
>prevent +back tactics

you've never heard of a guy in QL called willoffire right?

play of the game when

So, I'm going to avoid duels form now until Clutch's infinite boost is patched.

Instant 2000 ups is sort of broken. Rocket jumping doesn't even beat him in speed.

>losing to barncore

they announced crouchhop will be removed in a later update
fucking yes

very good. very good. things tend to start dumb but at least the community can band together and convince them that it's dumb and they can actually get to fixing it

I'm at least happy almost every issue they've addressed in this update seems to be regarding balance and not entirely technical (as in, related to the game not working as it should)

if they can iron out all the inconsistencies in the code and make movement consistent across the board then they should be fine. they can always go back and tweak the champs but if we get stuff like dud rockets and hitboxes being non-existent a second time around then they'll be in some serious trouble.

newshit here; does specific champ or the size(small med fat champs) determine the rate at which your stack drops? im reading one place that they do, but ive never heard that mentioned or discussed before.

yes, stack decay on lights is faster than on mediums than on heavies. I'm not sure what the values are, if its specific to each champion, if it's consistent with normal health/armor values, or what. I just know it exists and it's easily identifiable by looking at it in-game

...

in literally what scenario could you possibly have lost to clutch in duel because of stairboost?

It's not that useful and he's the size of a barn door so...
It only works well in direct straight aways.
Turn a corner and watch clutch zoom past you and slam into the wall. lol.

>move at 2000ups
>can't turn at all
>moving so fast that there's not a single stretch of any map where you're going to avoid slamming into a wall after 1-2 seconds

so this is the power of clutch.... wow...

anarkishit tried to +back from through tele and Clutch got'em from bridge stairs on blood covenant

HUH

>IMPRESSIVE
>EXCELLENT
>HURGH
>YOU HAVE TAKEN THE LEAD

niggerkis were justly raped
when can we expect the same of nyxggers?

tell me about rapha!
why does he wear the sleepy look?

Nyx was already nerfed out the ass. Stop being a shitter and learn how to play against stealth.
Better yet, learn how to land rockets. Nyx dies insanely fast to rockets.

t. nyxgger

>play against stealth
>stealth

more like t. not a shitter.
If you can't kill nyx now, you're just bad. She dies so fast it's stupid.
Nyx now basically is just as slow as galena, and you have no choice but to save ghost walk to get away. She cant use it aggressively anymore. And if she does you get a super easy kill.
Stop being a shitter and learn to stop crying like a little bitch because she went poof for 3 seconds.

Why can't those degenerate retards at least make a proper vision in Doom's ability? I can't see SHIT, it's literally impossible to see what's going on. How is that even fucking reasonable? It's already nerfed to the ground and is basically useless and on top of that you can't see shit while using this ability as well

Because other problems emerged, the previous problem doesn't stop exist. Her ability is condensed bullshit. You can bitchslap her easily but when you are both low and she decide to active, you're screwed.
It that would be stealth/invisibility I could unload any type democracy from my pocket on her and try to push her away. There is literally no info where she'll appear and she'll always have around 0.3sec advantage over you.

She's also still top pick in duels for reason.
