I think this really shows what Metafags go through when you criticize them.

>>714667250 (OP)
I searched up a build in a game and now I feel dirty, playing blind is the best

OP: Yes

This problem would not exist if the serious and sweaty gamers stayed out of unranked queue

>>714667250 (OP)
Does this person actually exist or are you inventing a completely fictional person to be upset about, anon?

Why are meta niggers so insecure?

Damn this thread got the "off meta" faggots angry already
Nothing wrong with not using meta if it's actually viable and functional, if it's just griefing then kill yourself

hey, you should stop wasting your time playing this videogame your own way
if you follow these step by step instructions you could have fun like me

>>714667968
Happens in every other Helldivers thread
>Nyoooo you can't just point out that my weapons and stratagems are shit and do no damage, we've got 20 lives stop telling me I'm not credit to team even though all I do is die and die again while running back to my gear!
Very tiresome people. And then they complain that the game's "too easy" because they got carried even though they ended the game with like 6 deaths.

playing meta is not fun.fucking around and getting kills is fun

>>714667250 (OP)
>4chan shitters talking about meta
99.99% of posters here don't even know how to utilise a metabuild in the videogame they play.
Why?
Because you're not on high enough level of skill to even need meta.

The problem is competition and self-expression are at odds with one another. Competition always results in a race to the bottom where anything besides meta gets sidelined. And it's not even just about what builds and strategies are optimal, it's about an entire way of looking at games. It's why the idea of an MMORPG is actually oxymoronic, because the very act of roleplaying ends up getting sidelined when your human brain is fundamentally encouraged to focus entirely on optimal strategy.

It's true in MMORPGs, it's true in souls games. It's true in strategy games with multiplayer options like paradox grand strategy, and so on.

>>714667250 (OP)
It's only an issue because of the method of matchmaking that forces metagolems and I want my own fun fags together.

>>714667250 (OP)
What's your rank in league?

>>714670028
i believe this is a bit misleading. you need to have 99% optimal builds in mmorpgs to even attend raids, while in souls you could just bum about being retarded in pretty much every way imaginable and still make it to the end while having fun with your self-expression. mmos are just fucked in a special kind of way

>>714670527
Guild politics are the worst. Makes me not even want to play the game because these people are trying to play the social game of guild politics and I just want to be a shaman.

>>714670527
Yeah that's why mmorpgs aren't fun.

>>714667250 (OP)
Balance your game, wagie

>>714670527
Sure, there's a range. The more serious the multiplayer aspect is, the worse the effect is going to be. And again, it's not even just about build meta. Nobody in the multiplayer is even going to allow you to, you know, roleplay, during a raid. It's a fundamental contradiction.

Take a game like skyrim. It's not a sweaty tryhard game BECAUSE it's singleplayer. People take their time, do things based on RPing rather than strictly what's the most optimal. Now imagine if skyrim had multiplayer functionality. All of that would go out the window. Upon spawning in the game it'd turn into a total race to the bottom where players start running around, ignoring all the coziness/roleplaying/etc in order to farm experience, powerlevel, race across the map to shotgun for the most OP items, etc. That's the fundamental issue I take with multiplayer.

>>714670028
>the very act of roleplaying ends up getting sidelined when your human brain is fundamentally encouraged to focus entirely on optimal strategy.
Hahaha I love to watch Roleplay streamers and they get absolutely dumpstered by people that live and breathe the mechanics of the game. I watch people for their personality not their ability to shoot good. That is not a personality.

Elden ring perfume bottles, you can try all you want they are garbage irrefutably.

>>714670714
>Guild politics
I can't tell how many times this fucked my fun with raiding the past. Maybe a dozen guilds I've joined disbanded because of one of more of the following reasons:
>GF of GM erps with some officer -> Guild implodes
>Obligatory loot fights
>Raidlead funnels crucial items to his GF -> Guild/Raid implodes
>GM tries to carry his grey parsing friend/s -> Progress halts and makes the good players leave
>Obligatory after-raid discussions about politics
Tell whatever you want about M+, but it allowed me play this game "progressively" without having to join a fucking guild.

If spy is not a counter to sniper, he's not a counter to engineer.

>>714671243
Yeah these people clearly let this game become their whole life and it consumes them and everyone in their circle.

Yup, it's time to play off meta.

Sorry. I can't imagine actually being a woman, myself. What's it like being a slave to social media?

>>714671162
I was so hyped when the DLC added perfume weapons. I really tried to make them work, because it could've meant finally being able to do a true perfumer build. But they just absolutely fucking suck. Piss-poor damage. No stagger. They all have completely different stat distributions, which is cool if the idea is to make it so there's a perfume bottle that can be used on every build, but sucks if you're trying to do a perfumer build that uses a variety of perfumes.

They're the DaS1 whips of ER.

Bot or autistic baiter OP. Call it.

I play games for fun faggot. You make up for not working by making a game into your job and meta slaving it.

>>714667741
Every /v/ post seems to be some hyper specific gripe dialed up to 10 and turned into a world ending event worth multiple essays

Personally I don't think they make good videogames anymore.

>>714667250 (OP)
Haha, you replace video games for your failures in the real world and equate them to you being good at things! Haha! Everyone, point and laugh at the mad incel :D

>>714671873
I would laugh too but have you seen how much some of these people get paid to play videogames?

Meta slaves who shit their pants the moment you aren't minmaxing.

Obviously the meta is the correct choice but I do love to troll and make people upset. Tough decision.

A good sniper can smell a cloaked spy from a hunderd miles away and pinpoint his exact location.

You use to be able to place an unlimited number of wards in LoL. When it was clear my team was going to lose I use to sell all my gear and buy tears but my friend and I thought of a better way to run it down mid. Selling all your gear to buy wards and placing all those wards in a swastika formation in your own base. The enemy team always said "What the fuck?" When they finally finished this 40 minute game and invaded our base.

>>714672606
I think this is why when you buy a ward now you only get two of them and cannot purchase an unlimited number like before. Sorry guys.
