There are three things certain in life; death, taxes, and foxman telling you you’re bad.

Nothing wrong with being below average.
Your off cart play on Silvershard was below average! (Just kidding please don’t bite my ankles)
tell us again whats “below average” again? my friend wants to know
hey im not keeping up with the minutiae of the thread, let me just ask a question rq
have we reached a consensus on what the uberplayersch is like and who it could be?
i mean according to the forums im considerd a casual / below average pvper and im currenly 2400cr in shuffle…so ig idk its me ig lol 
its because you play dps, only healers are allowed to feel good above 2.4 cr
the cutoff for feeling good as dps is 2600
circle back to me so i can tell you it has to be the right spec of dps, and that as a hunter it’s 2800 :^)

I wonder what this said 
It was super toxic and elitist ! 
if you can play multiple roles at 2k+ I’d say you’re good, if you’re playing one role you probably have to be elite+.
Not just saying heal/dps as roles but like if all you can play is havoc/fury and you flop with ret or enhance.
Also if even when your class is like sub 50th percentile for “general public rankings” and you still manage elite. If all you do is meta reroll for elite you’re not bad, but I wouldn’t really call you good, plenty of players are only good when they have an inherent advantage and aren’t fighting uphill.
Thats for gameplay performance, there are plenty of pvpers who can theorycraft early in a season and reroll(or develop counter strats) before its public knowledge a build is op, if the game weren’t as “social” then people would learn metas even slower and those people would be even higher up on the totem pole. Just like in pve, if the guy writing sims / theorycrafting builds/comps is like 90th percentile performance but some sweat can take all his work and put it to work 5% better, I’d still consider the guy sharing knowledge to be compareable if not better.
I knew it!
Kennie is at least generally polite about it. But I don’t know, it’s a weird mouse trap people have created. No one wants rewards to be overly obtainable, but they also don’t want anyone to be able to feel accomplished for anything below ‘mid-high glad’ (and on a non-meta comp, in a season where like 6 people get a drake).
How does a content flourish under those conditions? lol Either way, just my $.02, as someone who has no agenda since the only PVP I’m likely to ever do is a little BGB when I’m bored.
Pre-grats on the BGB R1 btw, you’ve put a lot into improving, it’s nice to see new blood getting rewards.

I think Kennie is made out to be more sinister than he is. There’s just context needed.
Any achievement is an achievement hes more going after the person which is where you’d have to apply the context.

Definitely. The dude will actively congratulate people as long as they’re not jerks in the first place.
^ People should support this more as opposed to going after people.
Idk, but whatever rating I get to, I am still called terrible. Even multi R1s are called terrible.
This game is toxic for how small of a community it is.

i think its funny that blizzard puts low exp players in blitz high up, and if they even have a slight clue of what to do they climb, just take a look at some of the top players in blitz some dont even have hero or glad its hilarious. but it also comes down to not having a life and just playing the game all day/night since high ques are only going on at 1am est time it seems anyways so if you can stay up and play or sleep all day then play you will climb dont worry.
Ye, this is what I’m trying to tell people about Blitz; most of the rating is just pressing q and not actively throwing the game, unlike shuffle/arena where there’s a high amount of pressure to make something happen a lot of the time.
Then top of the ladder just queues late at high when big games happenin’.
