Very nice! Kinda curious what your go to skins are. Are you more of a Prime of Reaver type of Valoranter?

Also, with Iceland kicking off tomorrow are you rooting for any team in particular? Being from NA, really hoping Sentinels and V1 can perform to their fullest potential.

I’m all about edgy skins, so Reaver and Forsaken. And Singularity.

I’m rooting for NA as well! :)

Thats incredible. So if i want to get to radiant i need to mantain my Winrate for more than 500 hours and tbh 56% is actually high. What about 53%? Thats actually impossible and take a year?!

Thats so grindy and im probably better with creating a new Account.

Your gains/losses are based on your actual ladder standing.

It's not about how many hours or games you play, it's about beating people higher on the ladder and taking their spot. The system feels grindy because we won't just let you out grind players on the leaderboard without actually earning it.

Winrate is a decent example to determine how well you're doing, but lets say you are only winning when paired against people below you on the ladder and lose when put against those above you. If 56% of the time you are getting in matches with players below you, you should be wining. But that 44% you lose because they are above you. So while winrate, again, is a good indicator of how well you are doing it doesn't show how well you are doing compared to those above you.

TenZ had an issue that he couldn't get #1 during Ep 2. Act 1. He was 4th and had 56% winrate or something. Unfortunately, the 3 people above him had over 60%. When you get to those top couple thousand...

I lied, I bought the forsaken bundle and I truly enjoy it! Fantastic bundle! The knife’s glowing bits that “flake off” really makes what’s on the screen feel alive. While I didn’t think it was for me, I was happily mistaken.

I’m so glad you gave it a try and like it! I bought the bundle too because I love the effects and audio. :)

Hi Everybody!

For those with AMD / Asus motherboard issues, we finally got an internal repro when we saw that some players needed to uninstall AI Suite III. So we installed that software, went into a live game, no perf issues. Then we turned on HPET and BAM, the FPS cut in half which is what a lot of players saw. Turning off HPET fixed the performance issues so both need to be present to cause this weird degradation. It is apparently really hard to uninstall AI Suite III so I don't have any recommendations for removing this software and I don't suggest installing it just for kicks.

You can turn off HPET by using the following steps: Step 1: Open the windows search bar and type “cmd”

Step 2: Right-click the Command Prompt app and select “Run As Administrator” (access will be denied if not set to administrator)

Step 3: Enter: bcdedit.exe /set useplatformclock false

Step 4: Restart computer for this to take effect
