Here, Iâll show you what I mean. Her in (), me after.
(Do you know why necro-bumping topics is discouraged?) waste of words. Rehtorical question. Does nothing other than project arrogance. No meaning.
(One reason is that the game balance can change over long periods of time.)
The game changes.
(The second reason is that context is generally forgotten the longer someone goes and people want to interject their âexpertiseâ by looking at a passing line, and not things around it.)
Context changes, and context matters. Poorly written.
(The basis of your response to me is based on your experience.
So what is different if my response was based on my experience?)
Both our points are based on experience. Whatâs the difference?
(So hereâs a few things to note:) complete waste of words
(1. secant [had] a reputation for making absolute claims, and doing little else around it. Some might even suggest he didnât actually play the game, but just make claims for kicks and giggles.)
Hard to undersand what the relevance is here, but I think the point is some guy noone knows made assumptive claims, and she thinks heâs trolling
(Some of what I posted is largely dealing with the gap in the assertion of the claims, and the evident lack of truth in their claims; per the reply one can surmise, if they played enough, that the claimant hasnât tried any variation whatsoever. They are a âmaster playerâ in claim only.)
His claims didnât reflect his knowledge or skill. This paragraph is so badly written that itâs hard to tell if there is more in there.
(So point of the post is not a âsolutionâ but in getting a reply to clarify the issue as being a âsecantâ thing. Butcher is a polarizing figure at the far ends of the gameplay, so generally when people claim he âcountersâ anything, the claims done out of trolling, inexperience, laziness and so on.)
His post isnât a solution, itâs inaccurate and not genuine. People see butcherâs power differently.
Ok, Iâm already so sick of this unclear rambling. Plus, the gist is that the writer is arrogantly asserting all kinds of assumptions, while complaining that someone else is doing the same thing. Itâs tedious, and poorly written.
I think I used about 10 pecent of the words to say more meaningful things.
THAT is the issue I have with walls and walls of self delusional text.
Hereâs the rest of the post if you care to try to write it more clearly.
- For point of clarification here; your assertion is that youâve âplayed her enoughâ to draw your conclusion. HP lists you with 9 days and 8 hours of gameplay, with your recorded zagara experience only coming from quick match. Now, it is on an upload basis, and maybe you donât upload, but by comparison I have 29 days of game experience despite my inactivity, with [some] of my zag recorded against all modes, of which, the estimated mmr is higher in all of those than what it estimates of your play. (To note, a key part of these sites is that, as an alpha player, a large chunk of my gameplay predates these sites even recording. In that regard, itâs better for a ârecentâ appraisal compared to a full-game history)
Now, that isnât to say w/l stats/performance of whatever, but the basis of your reply to me, after however long a duration, in cherry-picking something to anchor your quote on was the basis of âyour experience.â
From what I see of how certain you claim as such despite having an apparently lacking amount of experience, I am not convinced of your assertions.
I am of the opinion, and experience, that should you find yourself getting âenough experienceâ, that your opinion in this regard will change â thatâs part of why there are divergent experiences regarding the butcher for the playbase.
Butcher is a âcounterâ insofar as they are enabled by the rest of their team (ie get stacks) while people that bemoan the hero tend to so out of their own efforts. When you have a hero that has the range, vision, defensive cds, kiting and about every tool at their arsenal to not even get touched by a hero (per 1v1) then any assertion of him âcounteringâ her is generally done by people lacking in experience, not using all the tools they have available, or mindlessly split pushing solo and then getting ganked.
If butcher is the solo lane hero, against a zag, she should just about ruin his day; he canât get close, canât out push her, will get harassed near creeps, and his range is limited and his mobility direct that zag could nydus circles around him as the game progresses. However, this isnât strictly a 1 v 1, so yada yada other stuff.
Zag tends to get the players who have a habit of trying to âwinâ the game on their own, avoid setting up enough creep, minding the mini, communicating with allies (mia calls, declaring if theyâre skipping, stalling, or contesting the objective) and a host of other things generally not conveyed by people who thinking quoting a single line after more than a year magically makes their claim correct.
But sure, feel free to demonstrate that a concern generally conveyed by people lacking a sense of observation and experience in how they compose a reply in a forum is not indicative of similar behavior in their gameplay.
