You have a point, but there’s a degree where it becomes pretty dumb to do so, it is like someone going on a casual facebook game and bragging that they are playing well and beating moms on a facebook game
If skill isnt the deciding factor in a game, it seems weird that crowd would be attracted to such a game unless they actually cant compete in real skill based games.
Which, according to Ralph, means that anyone who isn’t in the top 100 should immediately stop trying to do anything to improve their performance in the game.
This game has AWC and MDI and the raiding scene but we’re trying to play this game “casually” xd.
cringe game, WoD killed this game with ability pruning and other things like Blizz saying stuff like “tanks should be in arenas”. kinda sad that lvl 22 feral druid back in Mists has a more complex rotation than current Feral.
blizz makes more money now selling this game to casual sperglords who play this game like Second Life than the RPG aspect. waiting for this sub to run out, poggers.
I think that there is some skill out there. I see lots of parses (like Heroic N’Zoth, for example) where 15 people are carrying 15 others (15 orange parses and 15 parses with like 400 DPS). I don’t like the existence of carries, but I give respect where it’s due!
Yeah you are right, they went to the esport direction and pushed it hard, possibly because they heard esports are popular but the game clearly does not work with such esport attitude and I am thankful Ion seems to realize that and going back to focusing on real RPG elements instead of the gogogo esport crowd.
It is kind of vindicating to know his real life must be going so poorly he feels the need to try anger a group of strangers online for like 10 hours a day, every day.
The fact that carries are possible shows how the game is not balanced around meta/fotm because otherwise it would be impossible for the rest of us to do content, which of course means people who play meta/fotm not only get to easymode through content but then they can carry people that might be doing 0 dps.
Not saying that they dont have some skill, but it is pretty clear it isnt as skillful as people winning 1v1s in sc2 for example. It is analogous to someone going to a facebook game and bragging about being good while in reality, skill exists but it isnt as involved as real high skillcap games.
