Anyone else notice that the only people defending the timid are the ones who are timid?
No, they're actually not timid for the most part - they aren't timid about letting the real timid players clear their 6 or 12, they aren't timid about clearing that player's 6 or 12 either, they aren't timid about getting into the fight or dyeing while the real timid players wait on the edge for opportunity or takeoff running home at the first sign of loosing the advantage. They like the timid players, they become friends with the timid players, they encourage the timid players - why? Because they have a successful give and take relationship.
The frustration/heat/trolling comes in when they think they can compete with most in a 1v1 scenario, that they are the best in that regard. They also avoid loosing situations that the majority do not - if you avoid the fights you're loosing or going to loose, and are thus only engaging in fights you have the advantages with and are winning.
While a timid player can be a very logical player, and maybe even a talented fighter stick, he is still timid and likely for more than one reason avoids an uphill battle.
If you're thinking of who I'm thinking of SQUAT, why not just rub the salt in the wound that this individual learned/hid/knocked-off-his-training-wheeles under a different name(s) than the one he's using now, and one we used to be familiar with being much less logical or skilled. I know why people change styles and tactics, but I still fall short on comprehending why some people put so much value on a name and its name/reputation/legacy that they must contemplate the logic behind a purge and abandoning their old ones. I find that scars and tarnish is what gives one character.
