  • Yep they noticed a while ago that they can up the price of the completely ad-free experience, call it super extra premium and create 15 tiers below it, gradually giving you more annoyances and pretending it’s necessary to keep their business afloat. These are multi million dollar profits they’re making, it is in no way necessary. This is just profit maximalisation over the back of ignorant people who will do anything to pay a little less without knowing they’re continuously paying more.


  • Oh yeah I never got into things like tracking my MMR or trying to learn all the crazy stuff that goes on just above my rank. I’m perfectly okay with keeping the ball low and passing to my teammates and having a good game like that. I get super annoyed if my team mates try for the 7th time in one match to do a flip reset and not rotating ever.

    If I even play now, I just play a couple of casual games with rando’s or ranked with a friend. After 10 to 15 games I’m completely done.


  • Yes ads, specifically tv and radio ads. They are designed to be bad, because either a very bad or very good ad sticks in the mind. It sickens me that a noble art line psychology is misappropriated for commerce.

    The thing that bothers me most is that it should be easy to get rid of, if we were more conscious of what us going on in front of our eyes and collectively say ‘no’.

    The idea of having personalised ads, so you don’t get to see super bad ads or ads for stuff you don’t want or need ever, is kind of okay. You just really shouldn’t want that kind of data in the hands of commercial conglomerates.


  • Champ 2 in 2s currently, it’s pretty much the only thing I play.

    Actually I’ve only been playing casual of late, I find the toxicity a bit lower there. You might actually have a couple of decent games with a nice team mate.

    But I’ve been playing since it wad kinda new, I was among the ones who had to pay 20 euros just to buy the game on pc. I played it with a DualShock 3 with an XInput wrapper. When I started I didn’t even have a DualShock so I played mouse and keyboard. And I think some of the hours are just having the game open but not playing.
