Parrying lights on console | Forums

Cannot find your profile there. And Rep does not equal Playtime, I played plenty of hours on my Rep 40 / 50 PK when she was maxed out.

That argument really does not work on your favor at all. If anything it shows that he would have more playtime than rep150 would suggest. Fail.

Also just when I though this thread had calmed down, another freaking useless personal argument starts and YOU are right in the middle of it... Again! Do you not see a pattern here?

That's the whole point, "rep 150" doesn't suggest anything to begin with. It could be 150 reps playing only duels vs 150 reps playing only dominion. There's going to be an enormous difference in play time between those two. Were they using champion status? Were they playing on double XP weekends? Were they using salvage to get extra XP for rounds? You also get more rep for winning matches too.

Well, it kinda does. I haven’t met a single player whose been playing for under a year that is over at least rep 100. I mean, people always say that rep isn’t an indicator of skill, more of a way to judge how long a player has been playing a certain hero. Why wouldn’t it be the same here?

Is this even possible anymore based on skill/reaction or is it simply a guessing game?

Assassins are making console play boring as hell with unpunishable light spam. There's no risk for them at all. Even if you catch a couple they can just keep swinging.

Unfortunately it is mostly a guessing/prediction game. It'll take time, but if you just keep playing and learn all the characters move sets and mix ups then the guessing/prediction game gets easier, but the higher up you go in skill the less you will see of the typical mix ups and things get a lot more rock-paper-scissory. Apparently from what I've read all over this forum, it's a little easier to defend and parry lights on PC than on console... but then again it isn't. So with that being the case, the best thing I can say is this: try both pc and console and whichever platform you perform the best on, go with that platform. Let your actual performance and results tell you what no amount of facts or feelings on this forum cannot and let that dictate what you want to do next. Because in the end, everything always boils down to the individual player since all I've seen on here are people all experiencing different things with the same product.

I am. After around 10 months I was rep 102, currently 105 if I am correct it is exactly 1 year since I first started

Not a bad effort, I commend you for that. Would’ve been roughly 10 reps per month.

But my point still stands. Someone who has 150 reps almost certainly has been playing for a year or over then, so that’s a lot of playtime and 100% a couple hundred hours.

I would have been even higher rep if not for a 5 or 6 weeks of break I had to take. But I agree, it is really unlikely to be rep 100 or above without spending a lot of time playing the game. It took me around 3800 Dominion matches lol.

My advantage was that I don't play many games and all free time I have is focused on playing 2 maybe 3 games. However, I would like to say how rep really doesn't equal skill since I would describe myself as lower mid tier and it's probably to stay that way. But you still get to learn the basics and be proficient in basic gameplay.

Balancing consoles seperately isn't viable, both financially and from a workload perspective. That would mean all of their work that goes into patches and balancing updates would double. They would essentially be responsible for supporting 2 different versions of the same game, each version requiring it's own set of bug fixes and seperate balancing updates all the while the dev team size stays the same. If you're expecting Ubisoft to even consider that as an option then I'm afraid you're living in a dream land.

The best that console players can expect is a lag comp or other such optimisation related solution designed to alleviate the FPS limitation.

To be fair, the Division was balanced this exact way various times throughout the two years. It was more a matter of tweaking stuff on PC and leaving the console versions alone however.

That game sold big out of the gate and probably had Ubisoft's actual backing, unlike the stepchild that is FH.
