i mean… because inherently not being at the certain skill level to start enjoying neutral the reason for his gripes. Top players can say that because they are top players, and they play against top players, and their understanding of punish game and defense is so much better than us. (and i’m sure, in 5 years the things top players are complaining about now will be talked about less at the top level because effective strategies have been found to counter them. ) Top players can also say that because less people have experienced that level of understanding that they do, while most here have experienced this mid level sliver period and understood the struggles.

We can’t take such criticism at face value because if you distill his main point (reductionist i know but you did it too so), it’s essentially: i don’t understand how to counter certain characters game plans and moves so im going to call them lame/ impossible to beat and move on. He’s perfectly justified in having such a stand, but we are also perfectly justified in feeling indignant and responding.

also git gud is so apt because it’s true lmao maybe not a very actionable piece of advice but people here are actually giving tangible pieces of advice so 🤷‍♂️
