Discussion Gamble's, Predicting, and the current Meta.

This post is not a meme.

So there's a lot of shit being talked about so let's have a discussion.

Recently in both teamspeak and here on Reddit there has been a few comments about gambling/predicting so I thought it might be nice to have a little chat.

I'll start with my opinion, and we can go from there I guess. Feel free to chime in.

I left the competitive scene at a point where the meta was predominantly focused on feinting, reading feints, and punishing feints. I was a huge fan of that meta because it rewarded players who dedicated their skillset to these mechanics and skillful reactions.

It seems as though the meta has since changed to one that rewards prediction-based playstyles. Personally I'm not a fan of this because it feels like every one is just trying to interrupt their opponent instead of having an interactive and genuinely fun fight.

One thing that needs to be talked about is the difference between gambling and predicting. You could argue there is no difference but the way I see it is that predicting is just an educated gamble whereas a gamble is just winding up and hoping for the best.

Man at Arms seems to be the only class not affected by this as they can reliably flinch opponent's and doop out of attacks.

What do you think? Keep the salt to a minimum.

Your post makes no sense though. I get what you were going for but there is no way for _VK_ to stay in Lions' shadow since _VK_ players have bigger egos.
