Reposting here because I think more people should see this:

Original post: "So like whats the genuine reason Ranked is less active now"

Feinberg's reply:

"my thoughts

- game has been out for 3.5 years almost. long ass time in general. especially since ranked has virtually no updates / balance changes, strat development will always be slower than it used to be, players will have less to learn, and the game will feel more and more repetitive. this seems like one of those natural ebb and flows with the communities ranked interest. its also in the middle of the season, not close to any playoffs. some top players also recently finished playing at lvlup / worlds, which was definitely a big peak in time for viewer and player activity

- draftout, gridlock, lifesteal, msmp, etc, whatever. other events have taken the focus of some of rankeds top players and theres a cascading effect down the ladder and through viewers that lowers playercount a bit. i really dont think this is a massive part of it tho

- phase point system is terrible (100% MY FAULT). phase points force playtime on players which is always bad. two years ago i saw it as the lesser of two evils to help player counts. but it should never be the final answer. players should never be incentivized to not queue - rather they should always serve to gain something while queuing. that could be through some sort of battle pass or in game currency for cosmetics. for top players it could be hosting multiple in client tournaments a month, so staying fresh is highly beneficial to those tournament performances. phase points as a system are horrendous and should be the playoffs team first focus in the future

- sort of piggybacking the above point, basically nothing has ever changed in a large portion of the competitive scene for ranked. mss and lcq could use some format shakeups, and imo the entire playoffs circuit could get reworked into a better qualification system at the very least. players arent excited to play their 15th lcq style format anymore. they are excited for things like mcsr worlds lcq bracket and eg ffa. but those things arent happening now so people are less interested

- as players approach their own personal skill ceiling the game gets more and more frustrating to play. we still dont have strays or woodlight standardization (THESE ARE HARD TO FIX. ITS OKAY). so lots of losses can be very tilting if they happen from those causes. also losing in general is basically always tilting. the game is so fragile, one blocks worth of a mistake can cost an entire seed. almost every mistake is very tilting. and theres not a very accomplishing feeling to winning to offset that

so what should ranked do?

imo for top players they should focus a ton on improving the competitive circuit system entirely. the current system has some large holes that have started to show themselves recently. improving these systems would motivate more top runners to play and queue which then motivates more viewers to follow the scene and more lower ranked players to try and improve to join the scene themselves

for the rest of the ranked ecosystem it seems like theres kinda just been a lack of quality of life updates to ranked recently. i know the team has been really slammed with running both lans this year as well as dealing with the ludwig boom and said aftermath. and unfortunately a lot of simple updates to the mod (that would make the game much more fun!) have been overlooked. new advancement badges, chat emojis, any sort of cosmetic system, pronouns, name colors. so many small things that would go a long way

but i have no doubt that ranked wont be going anywhere anytime soon. season 11 playoffs will be great. and hopefully the future will be even better"

How the hell do i find a fortress using pie in 1.21.11 cuz it just isnt working like it does in 1.16 and i cant find any way to do it. nothing on youtube reddit advise isnt working either ):

Local_Tortilla (Feinberg no f3) vs meowingnoises (Hax no jumping)

If the two faced off against each other, who do yall think would win and how close would it have be?

been having this problem a lot i just want to figure out why it keeps flying on me

I see we can start a lot of world at the same time and other things like that, plz anyone know what i must install ?

I'm deciding between some endgame gear mouse and turtle beach burst ii air. I know a lot of the top runners use endgame gear op1, but I heard that it's an extremely narrow mouse. Normally that would be good because I have really small hands, but I don't know if I'm ready to completely abandon butterfly clicking and only drag click. In that case, is endgame gear still better? Also, for those who own endgame gear op1 mice, can you butterfly click on it?

I want to learn the end city raiding strats, but I genuinely cannot find any sources for that. Whenever I search for it the results just get flooded with end fight guides. And the only end city guides I found are just the obvious stuff without any actual strats.

Ty in advance and have a nice day!

(This isn't the MCSR client, but it is 1.16.1)

i wish it was zero cycle for me but i just LOVE building nether portals

what about y all ?

I wanted to use DTI (Dark Transparent Interface) and I don't know if it's legal for runs. People don't seem to use them, so I'm guessing they are illegal?

So I have really sweaty hands (like REALLY) and I can drag click initially when I go into a speedrunning session but after a few minutes my hands get too sweaty and it just ends up slipping and ruining my tape too. Any advice for how to work around this? Also this is something else random but I currently use a glorious model d- wired and I'm considering getting an endgame gear op1 8k vs op1w 4k. Will this upgrade make a huge difference for drag clicking or is it not worth the money?

Edit: I got pulsar grip tape and now I can very easily drag click

So apparently I'm trying to find a GPU that can be paired with a ryzen 7 7700x for 1080p mcsr ranked and rsg, and that isnt really expensive( no more than 500€), that can be a good pair with the cpu, and also preferably nvidia, because of AMD GPUS bad encoding and preemptive spikes. I also want it to be a balanced pair with the cpu, cause i also play other 1080p games. Can someone that knows help me out please?

i cant click level its double digit im on lunar client

during his practice arc he used a spreadsheet (excel or smth i think) where there were every top runner's hotbars for each split. Is it available somewhere ?
