Challenging myself this year to remake my beginners guide to comp video. That video consistently gets views every week which shows the comp scene is intriguing to people. Gotta update it as soon as I can!

I made this document for last LUTI Season, and I feel it still applies today. LUTI is really unique and I encourage you to *consider* playing in it, but please be aware that it can be a trainwreck if you and your team aren't properly ready for it.

With tryouts incomplete and wanting to take time to better understand our team synergy, we won't be able to participate in this LUTI season.
That being said, this doesn't mean we won't be continuing to play. You'll just have to tune in to our streams to watch our improvement arc!

-HP bars mainly benefit chip damage options (aoe weapons, burst bombs etc.)
-Stealth Jump feels painfully slow esp on long straight line maps (hammerhead, haggle)
Anyways here are predictions for meta comps (big aoe explosions broken yayyyyy)

With LUTI around the corner, should I make a thread giving advice on how to get the LUTI div you want/deserve?
For context, I was on the seeding council last season.

I need everyone to stop freaking out over machine translations of Japanese when we don't entirely know what it means.

The term used in Japanese is 一段落した, which is about the closing of something, but not actually the full completion of it. It's like the completion of a *step*, not a whole process.

I can see it being read as
They chose not to make any major changes to the game until...
1) they were done making new main weapons and stages
2) they were done making all weapon kits and stages
3) they were ready to move on from a resting point
And I'm very confident in interpretation #3.

Guys, it is genuinely exhausting getting a new patch and always seeing people doompost about the game immediately after. If they are ending support/content, THEY WOULD SAY IT OUTRIGHT AND NOT BURY IT IN NOTES. Like why would they just end support immediately after all these changes and no fanfare.

Patch thoughts:
-SJ nerf is huge
-aura farming seems okay, needs testing
-hitbox changes seem REALLY good but the devil will be in the details
-lowk glad pen/cooler remained untouched especially since the system changes seem to be an indirect nerf(harder to sj back in from cooler respawn)

Question for a potential video:
How do you typically hear game audio and discord comms at the same time?
- Line in and listen to device?
- Capture card loopback through OBS?
- Discord on your phone on speaker?
Especially curious about handheld/tabletop player's setups

Fully embracing X rank as the best way to practice, largely for these reasons, has shockingly made the game more fun for me than it has been in a very long time.
If you prioritize getting good powers or winning games its infuriating, but if you can escape that mindset the tables completely turn

Bringing this up again:
X rank will always be the most objective and unbiased mode of practice. We can choose when to play, what weapon we use, what map/mode we want etc.
The only thing stopping us from doing it is literally our ego, and the pain of shattering it in the realisation of a truth.
