I agree. I used to play sojourn too aggressively, boost in and ult trying to get some kills thinking if I got 2 kills my teammates could finish the fight. I’ve now switched to prioritizing staying alive and the first time I did I went 5-0, haven’t done that once this season. I only take fights I initiate, as soon as someone starts shooting at me that I wasn’t aware of, boost away and survive. Come back and kill them on my terms. I was spending too much time ego fighting, thinking I could win every fight.

I was averaging 8-9 deaths per 10 minute despite having a 2.6 KDA and a less than 50% win rate. Realistically you want no more than 4-5 deaths per 10 minutes to be effective, otherwise you are just feeding and spending too much time respawning and running. Staying alive, even if that means losing the objective or letting your tank die is the most important task to winning.

If you have a 55-60% win rate you should be climbing.

It sounds like the system works on a past basis. So let’s say before it took 10 reports in 1 month to get a mute, but then after that it might only take 2-3 reports the next month to activate the mute again. But it really does seem like once you get one mute, it’s a lot easier to get muted again. I’ve never been muted and while I’m not a trash talker I’ve definitely said worse than you claim to have done.

PC hardware issue. I had the same thing happening, was a bad power supply.

I’m with you, but this community is for people who hate the game and just want to bitch and moan all the time. It’s kind of the cool thing to do these days. Either you play a shit ton of OW2 and bitch and complain or you make some grand post about quitting overwatch because of how bad it is, but still secretly play while bitching and moaning here.

Again, what comp were you running? It’s pretty easy to counter a mercy/bastion now. If that’s all it took to make you lose the match, sounds like your team wasn’t playing very well at all either. Breaking out of a spawn camp is not easy, even good teams and players will struggle with it in metal ranks.

No what were your picks so we can also complain about them and show your hypocrisy.

What Uber skills was your team using to dominate them?

I wouldn’t… it’s a nice accomplishment for you, but if I saw someone post that as a skill or credential I’d immediately know they have no experience. This is like a an electrician saying they can install a light switch as a reason to hire them.

Pro tip: Enterprise and Consumer grade doesn’t exist in hardware. It’s all made from the same silicone at the same plants. The only real difference in the server world is server CPUs have more cores but less speed with more PCIe lanes. More cores with less speed is actually worse for homelab use because you will never need more than 8-16 cores at most applications aren’t threaded beyond 4. So it’s better to have faster cores. The extra PCIe lanes of a 6-8 year server cpu are mute when comparing PCIE3.0 to PCIE 4-5.

That’s a pretty old model ASA and isn’t even capable of 1Gbps of throughput. I wouldn’t use it.

AMD igpus aren’t the best for Plex. You would get way better performance with a similarly priced intel. 16GB of ram will work, but it’s kinda on the small side. I’d recommend 32GB. That motherboard is pretty expensive for an ITX, you really should use a full size motherboard for a server build.
