    Perhaps they’re the kind of people who see anything that doesn’t require at least 100 hours per month to progress as a waste of time. I used to play that often until I found a job. Went from 5+ matches of league daily to maybe 2 per week.

    There’s legitimately 0 purpose to playing a bit of a game when it won’t change the status quo of your life.

    All we want is a game that’s worth wasting our life on.

    I guess that is how people in monogamous relationships see polyamory…

    I do. (Hot take incoming) People are absent-mindedly maxing that slider and making the game butt-ugly because they heard some pro plays the game like that to see as much of the screen as possible. That Wasn’t even the same game btw.

    They are not playing the game competitively so all they do is make it ugly as hell for no gain. It’s like using wrist straps to deadlift. Consider getting better at the game instead.

    Same for screen shake actually. Some idiot game dev overdid it 10 years ago and now everyone turns it off even though it is subtle nowadays and makes actions feel a lot more impactful.

    You’re not special when you say it makes your head hurt. You just played a game where screen shake was badly implemented.

    The popularity of skill based matchmaking decimated game design that allows people of different skill levels to play together and progress in a multiplayer setting. Most games actually punish you for playing with better players on your team instead of allowing you to help somehow without being a liability. And when you are, the game is no longer winnable and people get extremely pissed off ensuing you won’t get to play with them again.
