A Message From Yoda

The most common thing that I am asked is "why"
-why Do you play with the leaders that are not considered OP
-why Do you constantly go against the “meta”
-why Do you put yourself through the agony of fighting against the forge hog with lesser leaders?
-why Are you constantly looking for new and exciting ways to play and win vs what is thought to be the end all be all Meta?
-why Do you keep getting on every day and streaming yourself struggle against Broken units and Exploits?
-why Do you purposely handicap yourself even when you know you have a 90%-95% win rate with Forge?

The Second most common is "how"
-How Do you stop yourself from abusing the OP leaders?
-How Do you still have 2 accounts in the top 10 neither of which are Forge or Serina Or even UNSC for that matter?
-How Do you beat most Forges and Serninas with colony and Decimus and other under-powered leaders?
There are money more questions but these are some that come to mind. A simple answer is yet again another question.
Why Not? Why not be the best without abusing exploits and OP leaders?
Why Not? Why not feel amazing after a win with an UP leader vs an OP one. Considering there is almost no better feeling in gaming.
Why Not? Why not stream what the people want to see. I mean. This season. My twitch viewers were the only reason I turned on my xbox every day. They are amazing guys.

Taking a look inside my head. Here is the simplest answer I can think of. In my mind and the mind of many others. Nobody cares or remembers the guy who abused the game the best. They remember the guy who could beat that person even if it was one game out of many. If you can win through a sheer amount of raw talent and skill against all odds and come out victorious using something that is considered not the meta against something that is defined as a picture perfect performance of the meta. Then I feel you have done more in that 1 game than the abuser has in their entire season up to that point.

I leave you with a gaming quote I have lived by for over 10 years. And its my own personal code that I play by every single day.
DON’T BE A PRODUCT OF THE META, MAKE THE META A PRODUCT OF YOU
Sometimes we must fail many times in order to find the true meta. A true counter. A true timing push. A perfect Unit mix. A perfect Energy Collection route. Even if you dont get this right the first THOUSAND TIMES. Do not give up. (" As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. … Edison replied, “I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.”) Keep playing. Play the leader you enjoy most. A win with your favorite leader using your own unique playstyle feels 10x better than a win with something that is not your own. With observer mode confirmed for release in the coming months. I have renewed my love of the game and cant wait to see you all on the battlefield. As always. My viewers, Donators, And most of all my Subscribers and Moderators on twitch. You guys are why I get on every day. Without your support I wouldnt of played a single game this season. <3 all you guys. Special shoutout to my boy Jeddy. Hes been a huge help these past few weeks and is my moderator of the month :smiley: Lets kick A/SS out there boys

Also some of you might not know this but the Yap Yap stream was done so in a completely amateur fashion. (not saying it was bad. I mean they did it on their own without professional equipment.) I cannot tell you how much myself and others respect that you guys did that with such little resources. And most of all the fact that they took some mid game requests to make ther stream better from myself. Such as audio and in game zoom options and such. Allowing us to hear the full extent of the casters voices as well as hear the voice of the new grunt leader. Say what you want about the guys at 343 but after hearing about observer mode coming and the fact that they actually listen to their viewers (even the annoying ones such as myself) in order to make their game and viewers experience better speaks volumes to me and many others. You guys are doing a great job and I hope you dont let the forum trolls ever get to you. Even I am guilty of this from time to time.
Basically
<3 that you took some criticism during your stream and made it 10x better and didnt tell me and others to F off after we tried helping and listened to us instead of Your EGOs
Which is something I could not have done.
<3 the fact that Observer mode is coming.
<3 that you guys listen to the community and are starting to implement great balance changes :slight_smile:
You guys rock. Keep it up.

Why havent we ran into you in threes? Why doesnt anyone I know seem to run into you in threes?

Only play ones bro :slight_smile:

I’ve always wondered why people say a leader is OP and then don’t play as them. We all know that with every update there’s going to be something that drastically changes the meta. I put this to everyone the only way we can have a truly balanced game is to have one unit. Just try to adapt your tactics as best you can. I will admit that something’s are hard to work around.

whats going on here.self-marketing at its best. GGZ

Haha =D…

lets play Blitz

I gotta say, my dude. Your stream is the most entertaining to watch simply because you often use “off-meta” strats.

I can’t even begin to tell you how boring it is to watch some of the “top players” use the strongest leaders. All. The. Time. I would rather watch paint dry than watch a stream where an entire team is using Forge. Or last season, when an entire team would use Jerome. So dry. So boring.

It’s refreshing to watch you play as leaders that aren’t as strong or don’t get played as much. Additionally, it’s awesome to see you beat the strongest leaders with said less played leaders.

Keep doing you, my man. Always enjoy watching your stream. Looking forward to seeing how you tackle next season!

but why post this?

Yoda…this is an absolutely legend post.

Well done man, if we had more people posting constructive and positive support for the game to make it better…thats a community I want to be apart of. Awesome stuff buddy…keep up the streams.

Do you think we should only post hateful negative feedback Child?

The post is more about the subtext /“message” behind the post rather then it’s actual content. I believe that was it’s purpose.

Who is anyone really? What’s the purpose of life?!

I didn’t know observer mode was coming.

Look, I understand the intent behind this post is solid. I get it’s positive and i like a lot of stuff in it.

BUT

Rules are rules, friend. As much as I like the post I can’t let someone keep an alt because I like a post they made. What I love seeing is a positive post from you because despite all of the run-ins you and I have had over rule breaking, I know you can become a solid voice of the competitive community. We both know it’s toxic as hell. If people want Wars to be given a spot in the HCS or some other tournament style play, it would only help that the players can be taken seriously and conduct themselves as the professionals they claim they want to be. This post is a good start. It helps the community at large to see good players do something other than “Oh ur not champ lol stop talking.”
