@JiujitsuOtter Yes and its an important part of my game personally,getting off the ground and resetting or starting a scramble

To the people that train BJJ, has your gym adjusted to incorporate getting back to your feet? I can’t speak for every gym but this is something we’ve been working on for years now.

@AerialLiz In that case I might be having sex wrong

League is indeed just like sex. You expect a 1 on 1 and suddenly everyone's there

@httpsw33t The old mastery was cool and had style, new mastery sucks man

whose mastery token should i get next?

@Home_of_Fight Izzy also reposted it but then said Chama x3. Glad to see them getting along

🫡 Alex Pereira posted a video of himself getting knocked out by Israel Adesanya and sending his supports for him this Saturday: "Much respect to Israel Adesanya... Regardless of rivalry, I know what it means to step in there — the years of work, the pressure, the sacrifice. That’s why I wish you a great fight. Go in focused and show your best. We keep evolving. See you at the top CHAMA." via @AlexPereiraUFC

@PoirierGaethje Aljo

I have a feeling that Volk gets through all major contenders (Jean, Movsar) and then gets KO’d by Vallejos. He’s the only one who looks like he could beat him, purely based on style as of right now (could change).

@bjjminx That isnt how you spell preserves but I get a pass

@bjjminx I usually eat a peanutbutter and fruit persaves sandwich with honey after I make weight, its like a ritual

me

@powrdbypackard Charlotte is not the south anymore its Charlotte 💀

talking abt people being rude & then u gonna go to CHARLOTTE. BARELY ANYBODY WHO LIVES THERE IS FROM NC.

@JiujitsuOtter Getting into a leglock shootout with a purple belt is insane work 💀

2 white belts vs 1 purple belt That first white belt disintegrated on impact💀

@whale_collector @DovySimuMMA @joerogan Also like you said its Khabib so people want him to have lost here.

@whale_collector @DovySimuMMA @joerogan I thought it was a close fight with a clear Rd2 for Gleison and Rd1 in his favor off critera since wrestling doesnt count unless it does something. Its not some atrocious robbery but its more Burns Khamzat esque where alot of people thought the losing guy won

‼️Joe Rogan thinks Khabib lost to Gleison Tibau "I think Gleison is the one guy that should’ve beaten him. Khabib’s got an undefeated record, there’s an asterisk— They had a very f***ing close fight that I thought Khabib lost. via @joerogan

@LeftHookLarry03 Mfer you make the sandwich

Just did my own version. Boy, aren’t I a special little princess?

@Lsteinnn @v1gorous1 Who is this

there are some champs where you can tell based on the skin if the person is an otp or not

@joannadangerfd Saw cook out at the top dont need anything else.

objective fast food tierlist argue with my nuts

@kingpminch Scizor

I'm gonna prove something. I have a Google Doc of every single Pokémon, from 1-1025. COMMENT YOUR FAVORITE and I'll add your name until we've found someone who likes every single one!

@lookatmyopinion Ali is a snake

It went under the radar because MMA Twitter was less popular, but Ali did something similar to Cejudo when he “retired” the first time. Like it was already rigged against Cejudo structurally, imagine also having a double agent manager when you do that 😭😭😭 no chance

@lookatmyopinion @ibzsmo3k I try to mostly cook at home its so bad

@ibzsmo3k Breakfast foods in America are so crazy in calories. You can go over 2k with like an order of pancakes and a few sides.

2500 calories deep and it’s not even 11am

@M3RKCrash8 @doaenel @RiotPhroxzon Yes, there is no bad streak. It's you playing your games at a lower level of skill than your best.

@PantheonTweet @doaenel @RiotPhroxzon So good it happened twice, (combine the 2nd and 3rd photos.

Apex LP Gains Hey everyone, We’ve had a lot of attempted changes to resolve some of the root issues with the Apex experience this year. Some have worked OK and others haven’t worked as well. We wanted to shine a light on changes that are going out (hopefully) today and how we’re going to approach it for the near term and wanted to apologize for the experience that people have been running into so far. Does every region have negative LP gains? - Less than 5 of our 16 regions are having negative LP gains in Apex right now, and they’re to varying extents - Some of those are experiencing it consistently and others, just a little bit, and most, none at all Is Aegis of Valor causing this? - We don’t see any long term impacts on LP gains caused by Aegis - Especially given that the majority of regions are functioning completely fine What’s going on then? - Masters being more achievable this Season & the best players getting stronger as the years go on is expanding the gap between the bottom of Master and the top of Challenger. - The addition of Challenger duos made it more challenging to balance some of these games - While we took pre-emptive mitigations to reduce the impact of things like Rank 1 & 2 duoing together, they weren’t powerful enough and resulted in the best players catapulting further ahead - The rollout of our improved Matchmaking and better balance to duos (this is now Live in every region); does a better job of balancing duos and balancing autofills to make Apex matches more balanced in over 90% of cases, but there is still work to be done when the very best players are duoing together - In the Live Ranked system, the max LP attainable has a soft cap to prevent LP gains from getting too high, which combined with the above issues has led to a less than ideal apex ladder experience Are you going to reset the ladder? - There are some set of people who are really vocal about resetting the ladder; we hear the concerns and are taking them seriously - At the same time, there are a lot of players who will find it very frustrating for all their progress to be reset and while some players will be happy we reset it, others will not, so we’re continuing to evaluate The changes we’re making - To reiterate, in the Live Ranked system, the max LP attainable has a soft cap to prevent LP gains from getting too high - The closer you get to the top of the ladder, you need a higher and higher winrate to climb. - ie. As a player gets closer and closer to the cap, their gains will approach +10/-30 - We’re going to remove this cap, which will unbound LP on the top end and result in the very best players being able to play and climb to pretty high LP values (+30/-10LP until they start to reach where they should be) - It will also make LP gains for the entire Apex ladder more stable, but LP cutoffs for Grandmaster and Challenger will also increase when most players no longer have negative LP gains - We expect most regions to reach peak LP’s of around 3000 and in some of the top end cases, close to 4000 - Grandmaster and Challenger are meant to be very difficult to achieve and it’s intended to be challenging to get there (in the same way that an Emerald player should look at Diamond and feel like it’s going to be difficult to achieve) - At the same time, we’ve heard your feedback that hitting these ranks feels too daunting and grindy (though there is an expectation that the peak ranks in a game are going to require more dedication to keep, we need to strike a good sweet spot here) The future - Us making climbing at apex less daunting caused us to add Grandmaster several years ago and we’re nearing some of those feels now; the skill gaps in Apex are getting too big - In some regions also, the number of Grandmaster/Challenger slots being too low for how big their region is is also contributing to the cutoffs being very high (EUW being a notable example) -> curious on thoughts on increasing this - We might also reconsider the top end of how much LP you can gain per win, but need to be considerate of how much this incentivizes smurfing - Changes to systems like these are a natural part of League being a long-lived game and having growing player skills over time Thank you for being patient with us as we fix all the things and we’ll continue to work to make the top of ladder climbing experience the best it can be.

@M3RKCrash8 @doaenel @RiotPhroxzon Your rank is not going to drop from gold 2 to silver 2 from a bad streak, thats your level of play dropping. Play less games at higher intensity and you will easily climb out of silver and to Plat regardless of gains.

@doaenel @RiotPhroxzon I agree with this, even for lower ranks. I’m in gold and dropped from gold 2 to silver 2 just a super bad streak. I am losing -21 and only gaining +18 while I am dominating most games, and have proven to be a gold player. The whole negative gains thing is so discouraging.

@whale_collector Good way to get my heart pumping I'd be scared but eventually get used to it

Lowkey a goated morning alarm clock
