Well in my case I didn’t rage quit the match, I rage quit the game, bc they don’t care about wild, so theres no way to deckbuild and be an individual. Like 2 ppl in the world come up with new deck idea annually in wild, grats to them, while the millions of non-dream-children didn’t conceptualize the like one mm of deckbuilding space they found. More like 1/10th of a mm, that’s about the space they stumbled upon.
This would be proven wrong if youtube was in any way full of not-meta decks that win, not meme, but actually win. Since it factually isn’t, you can see that nobody can find a 1/10th mm for a new idea, but like 2 guys do or so a year.
That number should be like at least a 1000.
People who thought of something new on their own that works after meta-settle which is abt 1 month into an expansion. Trick is tho In wild if the build around is 1 card, that person isn’t coming up with something new each expansion, as his/her core is from old sets, and therefore is just riding the coattails of a years ago discovery all this time, not new-deckbuilding from scratch each expansion.
So, I think rage quitting is completely adult if the game is catered towards those who enjoy lookup then play, a very 2005 or so (when youtube got good) and after gaming way. YouTube into gaming combo was such a fad im glad everyone can see that too just bc you can ruin games that way doesn’t mean we all should. “im pro and on twitch” more like you’re pro at infosharing, not playing.
Most older folks don’t like game devolve. Which is what youtube into gaming is. For games that have low in-match execution, or PvE if you lapse and lookup. My planned side-jam career is to start up a counseling clinic (with a huge lobby waterfall, we’ll have the waterfall it has to be there massive too its critical) for those who are struggling with separating youtube/twitch and their games. We can even stream our lessons under the illusion that we are meta, and then quick change the backdrop and our outfits and then start educating. Reason being you’d get a lot more clicks and views if you disguised as a lookup-source. Like you have to camo as the problem to show the peace of mind and self satisfaction behind solving on your own. Although, id like to dress as Cleopatra (youth size) if i could. I learned that Cleo was attacked by snakes, and that’s straight up terrifying. Anyway, Ultra cheap appts since it’s a side jam job, no need to be greedy just charge like 2 bucks and educate and help those looking to go back to fun-gaming w/o youtube twitch ruining them. Problem solving encouraged.
Would be great to start up “nativegame” well it would have to be like “NaTiveGaMe86” or something to sound all new-era, “turtle” and “pants” would have to be in the names too bc common/borrowed, but it would be a movement to get our own ladder with only native gamers, no info-share allowed. It’s fine nobody would break the rules.
We are from a time when you solved on your own, or if you had to, you used google, which isn’t a clip w voice grabbing your eyes and ears showing you exactly step by step how to copy them. Alternatively ,games back then weren’t sabo’d by youtube, such as Age. You can’t copy exactly what someone’s doing in that pvp match and apply it to yours, you can only try. HS, its like, what are you going to mess up, passing the turn accidentally? Like, this is why HS is so insanely susceptible to youtube. In Age you have way, way, way more opportunites to lose-the-copy and thus the match, let alone what your opponent is doing.
Like rage quitting a game bc it’s all about youtube first? Sure. That’s a mature thing to do. Move on to games that aren’t sabo’d by youtube. Such as, a pvp game with a higher in-match execution bar, so you aren’t facing just the search engine, but your opponent’s in-match brain. Also, PvE if you reject youtube is completely peaceful of info share. What HS wants you to do here is to either be blind to, or enjoy, winning with not your own idea, or double down on heavy info share usage, FT job style, to find the one list that is meta that gets you climbing. All of these wins are attributed to the info share before the match, not the in match play, or your in match deckbuilding. So, the legend banner should have youtube and twitch icons glowing around them like "good job! you spent a ton of hard work looking up online before the match, you surely tried a lot of meta lists before settling on this one, it’s too bad you didn’t come up with that list yourself, but our day and age of twitch youtube blocks that from happening if we don’t regularly balance and adjust our cards’ Here’s a non-golden card, bc we think people stopped caring about gold cards, or their opponent’s rank, or battletag.
Something like CoD is higher skillcap than HS for sure, but FPS’s that are online and pvp oriented have never been cool and never will be. FPS’s not online, like goldeneye, are what’s up. Turok, Doom 90s, and so on. Halo 2 was cool, but that’s only bc we were all brand new to online fighty-talky FPS’s at that era, now that everyone knows their negativity and how it’s not worth it, we avoid. Xbox X doesn’t matter, nobodys playing online FPS and fighting over headsets with this illusion that one is the best in the region and so boss, until that bubble breaks and they’re like dang I need a career.
Look at Age 2, its completely youtubable, and completely different each match with so many skill testers going on its impossible to copy what you see on youtube. Totally different than HS. Age 1 is cooler tho 2 gets all the hype its cooler to go against the grain and play Age 1. Hmu if u want to Age 1 I have the CD in my moms basement drawer still since 97 IK, but I took the mortgage on so the basement that formerly was my moms is legally mine now so it’s cool to game in the basement that was my moms but now is mine bc mortgage. The CD has dust all over it but it works. CD’s were things that existed before people only gamed if they watched youtube first.
