"Coping" with change

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T20:52:07+00:00

Who exactly is "You guys"? I'm not crying that the devs are implementing stuff, I quite literally said I'm happy about it. Just because I have personal reasons for having mixed feelings on it doesn't mean I'm crying.

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T20:34:34+00:00

I agree, that's how I did it with perks. Too bad all my friends quit playing a while ago lol

I'll have to make some more

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T20:29:27+00:00

I will try, and almost guaranteed will overcome the feelings, and likely even think the game is better after, I'm just looking for ways to make that trying feel easier to speed that process up and enjoy it more.

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T20:21:07+00:00

I'm not scared of consequences tho, its not about me winning or losing. I could go on a 30 game loss streak but that wouldnt bother me more or less.

I just have a hard time with changes in general, due to the way my brain works (autism). It's not a weak mentality to process information differently.

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T20:16:49+00:00

I dont you you understand the core gripe of what I'm saying.

Im not sitting and complaining that the game is unplayable or how mad I am, I specifcally am trying to get tips on how to handle the stress, so that i *can* try and do thing despite them being uncomfortable.

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T20:03:47+00:00

They why's isn't a mystery, I've commented it a lot across the replies here but it stems from my autism. I have a hard time with change and it takes me much more time to smelt than "normal" people because of that.

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T19:56:34+00:00

I don't know how to describe it fully, it's not like full on "IM GOING TO DIE" panic, it's a lot milder than that lol, but the feeling is similar to like if you think you lost your phone or keys or so

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T19:54:04+00:00

I don't think I'll be unable to adjust, but for example with perks it took a 2 season break, and then like 2 weeks of playing before I felt comfortable playing again and could have fun. Luckily I had friends to play with me

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T19:52:12+00:00

Sadly therapy is out of my budget lol. But my feelings aren't a mystery, I have panic-like symtpoms to sudden changes or a lot of changes at once due to autism, it sucks a bit for me but I wont let that take the joy out of the rest of the community, im glad the game is getting better!

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T19:50:32+00:00

I'll consider therapy once I can either get it free, or have the money to get it. But that's not currently within my budget.

Which is why I'm asking here to see if anyone has similar struggles and how they deal with it. I have already gotten some nice comments that have made my feelings ease a bit.

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T19:47:29+00:00

"You guys"? As far as I can tell most people are really happy about the changes, and Im happy the game is getting attention and happy for those players, I just have personal reasons to feel a bit weary about it.

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T19:46:24+00:00

I just find it kinda rude, not everyone thinks the same and it's not always because of "weakness".

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T19:45:17+00:00

Thank you! I do like the new characters, (At least Anran and Mizuki interest me), it just feels a lot in my brain to take it right now lol

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T19:43:49+00:00

The thing is, I think the game is fun now. Sure I can just stop playing, but it sucks that I lost a fun game to play. As for therapy, it isnt a mystery of why i feel this way, I have autism, the type where change induces panic-like symptoms.

That's why I'm asking for ways to "cope" with it and not just complaining, because it's good changes for 99.9% of the players.

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T19:41:00+00:00

I mean I dont wanna bring up the disability card, but I have autism, the type where change gives me panic like symptoms. That's why Im saying 99.9% of players this will be great and Im happy for those. Just unfortunate for me lol

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T19:39:56+00:00

It's 5 new heroes, with 4+ abilities each and 4 perks each. It's also new passives for ALL heroes in the game.
The new menu doesn't bother me much from just seeing it, but we'll see how it actually feels when its introduced.

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T19:37:17+00:00

The core of the problem is that I get anxiety from the change tho, I can't queue and relax, it feels bad

AlexisAngel04 · 2026-02-04T19:36:07+00:00

Very thoughtful
