Racing is hard

I always liked watching RiP vods, so here's a few of mine this season for your entertainment...

Edit: It would be interesting to see a signature that actually makes the game easier for a change, for example, players gaining 50% phys dmg as lightning or something (cuck fasters?). It never has been done before and I'm curious to see how it would turn out...

Oh my god, the best was the obelisks (#11), hahaha!

Yeah lol i was mousing over the mobs, but i just didnt pay attention...cant remember if i woke up for that race or was after a long day of work, i was just not focusing at all.
Then i was like "FUCK" and tried to run out of the room but got blocked xD

The rhoa stun/kill creates flashbacks. Thanks for posting these they were good fun to watch.

The real question is does anybody actually enjoy this sig race? To me it just feels like a lazy attempt by GGG that they came up with in about 5 minutes and never actually tested.

I enjoy sleeping during sigs.

You finally get the idea how their balance&design works for several seasons.
As long Racing doesn't go back to a Season 2 type of raceshedule rating only the Top X results in a week, racing is dead.


It's junk at lowest tier, some white level 100 item at 40-50 then some junk theme item at 100 or 360, then an okayish item.
And a horrible 1k item.

Look how the bloodline season was designed. Order of the frozen sky got large damage numbers and the 1k reward was an unique flask that protects against cold. Who is surprised by that lame idea?

The next idea they will most likely come up are Race/PVP only uniques. So players are forced to race/play. So they can claim racing is popular.

Me too.

Just came in to check if Hilbert mentioned season 2. Wasn't disappointed.

I feel like ZERO testing has gone in to race seasons since 9. They slap the mods on the game without testing any of the normal enemy mods (extra damage, powerful crits, bloodlines, etc.) or bosses (Hailrake, Brutus, Merveil) to see if they are too dangerous for every class to handle. Those particular blue pack mods have been so dangerous this season and back in Season 10 with Brutal. I sometimes wonder if sig races need to be vanilla again. There has also been the obvious lack of effort on the race rewards since Season 8. Season 8 was the last time we have had an alt art body armour, reason?

On a sidenote, got to love gfycat's gif names.
