Soda proved you can't swipe your cc to kill bosses.
I despise Twitch and
never watch streams of any kind, but I was curious about the LA drops so I put
Soda's stream on in the background, turned it down, and ignored it. However, about an hour in to his stream I couldn't ignore his incessant complaining about the "constant unavoidable AE's" of some boss he and his group were fighting. So I tabbed out to see what he was complaining about.
Jesus. Fucking. Christ is he (and whoever he was playing with) terrible at this game. They were all completely ignoring the mechanics and no one was interrupting anything, but they literally cried non-stop about how hard and un-fun the game is. I tried to tell him he's a fucking retard, but I'm not "verified" or whatever the fuck you need to do to comment.
I don't expect streamers to be good at every game, but people with that kind of following
for gaming should be able to at least observe basic concepts. Much of the chat were obviously randos like me just trying to put in the hours to get the rewards and they were absolutely torching him in chat.
In regard to pay-to-win -- Who gives a fuck? Maybe I'm just too old to understand, but I literally could not give a single fuck about someone else paying real money to get ahead of me in a game. The
only time I would care is if content was artificially gated behind some pay-to-win fuckery.
Furthermore, pay-to-win implies that someone else is losing. Who the fuck is losing? It's certainly not me. I'd even argue that I'm the one winning by not spending a single dime on this game and enjoying 99.99% of its benefits while mouthbreathing retards spend money because they're worried about their internet dick.
