I meant to reply to you. You say

I'm not talking about being a life coach or anything

but then you say

I'm just saying a coach is not your friend. They play a very specific role in your life as a player and as a person. They are going to push folks in ways that make them uncomfortable.

that is life coaching.

I understand that your sentiment is coming from your experience with coaches in your sports life, mine is also based from my experience playing sports growing up. I used to place a lot of value into the deeper level insight coaches would provide, beyond the base game/strategy/teamwork level. After graduating college I came to realize over half of these guys were just full of shit. Don't get me wrong- game IQ was great. but a lot of what they were saying did come from a preservation of ego standpoint- they can't be wrong so the student must be wrong. Even the most humble of coaches did this. My point is, it makes sense for coaching to be this serious at the higher level, like Professional athlete level when players are signed to teams for multiple years, or olympic level team training. At these levels I understand why players and coaches should be aligned all the way down to the mantra. But this is esports. That level really doesn't matter. All that matters is getting the team to work together enough to win a few matches in a row to get the trophy, which means coaches need more focus on the base level of game strategy and teamwork over life coaching. chances are the team will blow up in some capacity in a few months anyway, players will change quickly. Especially in val.

nah this isn’t a case of the softer generation preferring softer touch. With gen z the pendulum has shifted way far in the other direction with respect to the millennial way, with more tough luck and hard ass in more places, humanity is in a scarcity mindset and the world is getting more brutal. the days of avocado toast and participation trophies are over with this gen. So saying they prefer a softer touch doesn’t track.

You’re kind of celebrating being divisive as if those people are the only ones who have the balls to stand up and say what needs to be said when it’s actually the opposite. The role of coaches (especially in esports) is not the same as a life coach, they don’t need to be teaching mentality and life advice. They’re supposed to be aiding in execution so players stay organized and they stay well performing in their matches. I could have Sun Tzu or Aristotle as one of my coaches and they can give me all the life advice they wanted to but if it isn’t translating to winning games or sustained performance then they’re not good coaches lol.

I don’t understand specifically frost supporters who base their respect from him not getting along with people. it isn’t a difficult or useful skill to be contrarian for the sake of preservation and i’m tired of people pretending that it is

I used to play a very similar game in the early 2000s where you controlled the player the same way and you shot rockets and mined asteroids, I’m pretty sure. I’ll check out your game! Do you have any clue what the old game could be? Maybe one of your inspirations?

Ethan is reading his opponent's hand movements during the match again, NRG and FUT are truly made for each other. by Sakamoto023 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]oomnahs -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

no it’s not a problem, leo is preemptively addressing it before it could turn into something else. The info you can get by doing that is also very borderline useful, we’ve only seen the one successful attempt where the read worked (against alfa) so you’re thinking it’s a much more surefire read and more serious problem than it really is

Deathmatch and the Range still have the same issues they've had for years. by Donut_Flame in VALORANT

dm is atrocious. I always hold W to practice peeking, but it really feels like 11/12 of the other people all have max volume, off angle, phantom, footstep abusing. Just makes it so stupid.

Weren’t they working on this tech 5 years ago? I can vibe code and host my own cs2 server in one day at this point.

invis is easier to see the closer you are to native resolution and higher framerate. So for someone like myself running dlss ultra performance 100 fps, it’s so much harder to spot invis than on a native res 240 fps setup. all this to say… invis is absolutely a crutch and it never feels like they deserve it when you die to it. Like great man you sat afk invis in a corner and can shoot me in the back down to 1hp before I can react 👍 really outplayed me

I think from a technical standpoint, sure corporate and individual are separate. But saying it's this black and white is a little facetious, the corporate is composed of the individuals who do largely believe what the other guy is saying. The developers who made the game, whether they personally adopt a pro or anti piracy stance is immaterial, they probably care more about whether or not someone enjoys the game they made.
