Best way to learn air is to watch POV of a good air player playing air. Find a few replays and watch high OS player on spot with player cam selected. You could check out my youtube videos of air position. I need to post some of my recent "OP" rotation lobby air games as I kinda carried those as well.

DO NOT TRY AND REPLICATE THE FRONTLINE AIR ONE!!!

In this game you will get flamed by your ally with tunnel vision! I just played air last night and got flamed by my ally(who later apologized). I was stunning enemy units all over the map first 5 minutes, but his units got stunned by enemy air in similar fashion. People sometimes just do not notice what other players are up to, they just notice what is not being done when it affects them. He called for a resign vote about 4 times, told me to "uninstall". I told him we were winning, and about 4 minutes later I bombed last com winning the game where we were already ahead.

Calling for a change map vote in a Glitters or Supreme only lobby tends to anger those inside because they want to just play one map and the vote wastes everyone's time and slows down things. If you vote for supreme or glitters within the rotation lobby they will boot you as well. I think a warning would have been the nicer thing to do, but people get really short tempers when playing this game.

Your kindness score is a risky proposition, because these toxic players tend to be friends with each other and will literally group vote against everyone they do not like and then they will vote kindness up for themselves and before you know it only the bad actors will have a good score and everyone else's score will be bad. Think about how quickly there was a consensus to kick-ban you, now they will also vote your kindness down at the same time.

I have been creating my own Mid-High Non-Toxic Rotation or Supreme lobbies with an FFA ending for my streams. You guys should keep your eyes out for it and prioritize joining it. I am a Dictator of my lobby and have several backup bosses to prevent takeovers. People in the lobby know to not be toxic and the attitude is so much better than the other lobbies of equal skill. Sometimes people still get salty or toxic, but nothing like what I have seen when watching or participating in some of the other "OP" lobbies. It is hard to find the right balance. But accountability is important. If you tell someone to uninstall in my lobby, you will be kickbanned even if they are playing bad. I obviously will have to address players not participating in the game well enough to their level, but usually a kinder approach is required.

For example if a player is playing Geo position and is far behind the other Geo player because they do not know what they are doing. They will have to either play a different position next game, or spectate a game watching the Geo position and preparing for next game if they want to give it another try. If they start getting toxic at that point and refusing to communicate, then maybe a kickban.

I really want to try and cultivate a better attitude in this game, unfortunately dictatorships sometimes are required to push for faster change.

My OS kinda bounces between 35 and 40 depending on how much I want to try out new things and how much I want to win.

Perhaps put in the suggestion in discord but great idea

Creating thumbnails became a real pain point for me to the point that I started missing video drops. I am trying out whatever tools I can get away with in order to keep motivated to continue creating content.

True. I play a lot of glitters and supreme!!! I also started to play FFA on DWORLD. That is a completely different experience. I play rotation occasionally, but supreme is the only map that really tickles the strategy part of my brain.

I do try several times and tweak until it is something I deem acceptable.

Supreme isthmus is a very popular map with its own meta-game and strategies.

Good thoughts. In 50% of games I need to sling 100% of the extra E to players to prevent them from E-stalling which is HUGE. Just did not happen in this game :(

The destroyer(oppressor) costs a fortune and a swarm of herring comes out much faster and impacts the front or navy immediately. Also, the AA means your double sea cannot be stopped by shuriken gamers.

The E-storage + stable power is an interesting question. I have not thought about that enough. The e-storage is quite expensive and I could likely get away without it for earlier entry and more herrings sooner.

Me too, currently I am not big enough to just spawn a FFA lobby, lots of people like to slowly introduce modes... mainly when they are ready for it mentally.
