have you heard the stories of when Passive walks the streets of Paris and the gypsy children desperately follows the sound from his shekel pouch that leaves a noise so strong that it echoes through the buildings for miles?

Yeah sorry I was going with the racial definition there. All jewish (religion) people are generally jewish by race, since there's not much point believing in a religion that states that there's a group of god's chosen people and you aren't one of them. Obviously not all Jews by descent believe in Judaism.

As far as I'm aware, most of the historical persecutions have revolved around ethnicity rather than faith, but i'm no scholar of anti-semitism.



somebody might say that once you have a cult of racial superiority it's fair game for others too

I've started noticing that in my solo-queue games I usually play with players a couple ranks higher than me. So I checked the last 10 replays and in literally all of them I am the lowest rank. I'm legend 3, and literally all the other 90 players that played with me in the last 10 solo games were Legend 4 or higher, the average seems to be around Legend 5 / Ancient 0. Any idea why that's happening? There's no way it's just variance, right? If anything, if it tried to match me with exactly people my rank, I should probably be seeing slightly more people of a lower rank, because there's slightly more of them. I have strict solo queue on. My solo MMR is 3600, my party MMR is 3100.

could be variance or you could be due for a bit of a rank jump

just believe in the Imaginary Arbitrary Ranking System (tm) aka HAROLD

e. It seems I have a Divine[2] GOD PLAYER on the opposing team when most of us are Ancient[2] semi-scrublord tier.
Isn't that like a million mmr difference?

I've noticed badges represent consistency, and a badge is only indicative of a 3-400 mmr range the player is in, so an Ancient (0) could be anywhere between 3800-4200, and there's no real way to tell if a player is trending down or up within that band.

So I'd say even though you're lowest badge, you're probably not always lowest MMR in those games. The system seems reluctant to promote or demote until consistency is proven.

I can confirm that Divine [2] was an absolute Harold scrublord so there must be some kind of hidden actual mmr / trending mmr thing going on.

it's when you believe god isn't real, but if he was he'd totally be a military bro. like one of those dudes with jorts (jean shorts), wears sunglasses inside, keeps at least 3 firearms on him at all times, and if listened to closely enough u can hear his fifth retelling of the time he Totally bagged that 9.5/10 chick from Willies Cantina

No, it's about not tolerating any other perspective on life but atheism.
A bit like the meme about vegans telling everyone they're vegan unasked and at all the wrong times.
