    @SchnauzerFace said in The biggest misconception...:

    Anytime I see hyperbolic claims like “none of it is skill,” I immediately stop caring what the poster said. Is there RNG and an element of chance? Yes. Obviously. Duh. But if there was no skill involved, everyone would be roughly .500. There would be no McGunskis or Kyles or Pitching_Rebels or countless others who consistently are among the top players in the world. No one is that lucky.

    You can cry all day if you lost a close one, but the vast majority of the time you lose it’s because you didn’t deserve the W. I read all these threads that moan like little girls because they give up an Early/OK homer in the 9th, but they fail to mention a) that they also benefited from Early/OKs in the game, and b) that they probably also had 27 outs from bad PCI placement or just picking bad places to be aggressive.

    A lot of the game sucks, but the good players manage to win anyway. If you still want to claim there is no skill involved then you’ve chosen a really pitiful hill to die on.

    You can look at the leaderboard and make an opinion, but you’ve never even seen it with the best players. If SDS decides to make it personal and invite everyone but the Rebels, mcgunskis, and Kyles too events like they did CB5 you’ll probably start to see it differently. You only know those guys names because you’re new, you’ve played the bad years and think their the best when in reality CB5 made them all look like average WS players when the game had a big enough skill gap to allow it. He spoke about flaws and was immediately tossed away as the original community partner, now we get guys advertising offsite stub purchases instead of the far and away best player getting us information from Devs about things like the HR/9 impact online.

    The relationship between the Devs and community is in a bad place unless you’ve never seen it in a good one. We had players like Quash well known for destroying online leagues and being toxic given partnership and participating in freeze offs on secondary accounts against community members instead of people like CB5. When that’s your first year playing, you might be like whoa cool, they put people in the game, when you’ve played for a while, you wonder why if they do it as a joke like Mario Mendoza or Pepe Alazar.

    wow you have issues...not only do you not know what you are talking about but you are attacking people for disagreeing with you. How sad and pathetic. Grow up and learn a thing or two before you post again

    Ok, so your post histories follow you obviously. Every post I see from you is arguing with anyone that is critical of the game. Now, I only checked about 4 that WEREN'T mine. Not a super large sample set but I wasted more time than I should have just checking that.

    So, anyway, this just underscores the fact you have a vested interest in railing on the game's critics. Only you know why that is.

    And, based on the generic reply to my post you could be a bot and I'm arguing with you. OH well, better than getting enraged playing the ridiculous game.
