you do realise metas are set by top level players including pros reacting to the architecture set out by the devs
you do realise that that relationship is often reciprocal, that the devs will adapt to the way the meta is evolving, or try and guide the meta, with input from the community? ie the meta is set by pros / top level players and devs
im starting to wander if anybody in this thread has actually taken part in any hardcore gaming, perhaps i need to educate /v/ about gaming
casuals do what ever the fuck they want and only win through luck playing against other casuals, they have no chance of climbing in rank, and would have little interest in improving because they like to play the game the way they want to
hardcore players compete and partake in the meta, and to some extent start to shape the way the game is played. hardcore players would easily beat casuals, playing at casual level would almost certainly bore them. playing the meta game gives the a level of enjoyment that isnt present whilst just casually "playing" the game itself. hardcore palyers improve and have potential to climb in ranks.
when you get to the top of rankings / become a pro. the way you play can dictate the meta.
your view point shows a complete ignorance of any gaming other than of an entry level casual

>>Calling people SJWs for not taking your shitty unbalanced TF2 clone seriously.
this strawman
im not calling you SJWs, im saying that you are like SJWs and that reason isnt because you dont take it seriously, its because you expect a whole established community to change their attitudes to match yours.
i have been quite clear about this, if you cant follow that you are either retarded or a troll

>>if a team of garbage meta-obsessed retards all decide that i'm literally hitler because i'm not playing exactly who they want me to, they can mass-report and get me banned
>>this is somehow okay
yep that pretty much sums it up
take a game like gw2 where a wvw zerg could be 50 or more people
every person who is defeated can potentially rally multiple people who are in the downed state
if you constantly dying because you arent following the meta and rallying the other team you are called a "rallybot"
49 people all following what they are supposed to be doing and you make it harder for them to kill people because you keep on rallying people they down because you are being an obtuse, ignorant, self entitled fuck, you deserve to be mocked, derided, youtube videos and forum posts made about your exploits because you are ruining the efforts of 49 other people
if you are n00b, then listen to people, if you dont want to help the team, go play a single player or death match game where you can go bottom of the scoreboard as much as you like. but if you are deliberately making other peoples lives harder you are a literal degenerate and should expect sanctions to remediate that
take another example - a raid
where the margins are often so narrow, one missed ability could wipe an attempt. why in all manner of fuck would you expect a raid team not to kick you if you werent doing what you needed to do when you needed to do it to stop you from wasting their time unless you werent completely self entitled?
again this screams of special snowflake millennial attitude. you wouldnt join a football team if you had no interest in playing football, getting good at playing football, playing as a team, listening to people, meeting other peoples expectations or exceeding them.
no instead the self entitled millennial wants a winners medal just for turning up, even though they are so bad that everyone else had to work twice as hard and still lost
