Jared Neuss chatting with SVB, (almost now, 11am PST)

Samito in interesting, because he’s very perceptive of problems with the game

But usually doesn’t understand game design well enough to articulate the root cause, and gets caught up on dumb things like “power creep” and “most powerful role”.

And he keeps trying to articulate “counterplay design that feels bad”, but he calls it “Bad balance”. Or he’s trying to describe a high ELO preference for more mechanically difficult heroes, with a higher potential for misplays, but he keeps muddling it up with phrases like “Not skillfull enough”.

Like he’s very insightful, but you gotta do a lot of translation between what he says and what he means.
