this is extra true when grifting and right-wing views enter the sphere too, and ties in with my thread venting about FFXIV community "opinions" and treating Dawntrail as the worst expansion ever after alot of people took their opinions from racists and transphobes that completely poisoned the well
One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

team fortress 2 hasn't had a single balance update since 2017 and frankly i think this post hits the nail as to why

plus, this is why a lot of "top player" balance theorycrafting has become toxic in many scenes
there is the fundamental conflict of interest where, as a player competing for money, you are encouraged to want balance that
-suits your playstyle
-suits your main
-reduces necessary matchup knowledge

Always funny when you can pinpoint the exact moment a YouTuber articulated a specific criticism because all of a sudden every discussion has it come up with identical phrasing when no one has mentioned it before.

My even more unpopular opinion is unless you have personally experienced the thing, you should probably refrain from having an opinion on it.
We need to return to shaming people for parroting YouTube/TikTok with stuff like "When I want your opinion, I'll just find the YouTuber who gave it to you."

Whenever I say this, people get Really Mad, but it's true. Same of any other art, too. You have to read the book, watch the film, see the painting, listen to the song, whatever.
I'm sorry, but watching a video about it on YouTube is not enough. You have not experience the art.

"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions
the whole "don't play the game, just watch a video on youtube that will explain its story to you" is so disheartening because the issue of accessibility is genuinely really important but it's always just people who want to be spoon-fed nicely quantifiable information

No one knows less about balancing fighting games than fighting game players. Dhalsim got downplayed to getting buffs for 5 straight years while they nerf Gief every year after season 2 even though the only player putting up results was snake eyez because the Japanese player base hates Gief

Honestly surprised you don't see more witches riding sidesaddle. Like, just imagine trying to balance all your weight on a one-inch rod, while also flying.

And now, Charlie Brown, I give the watch to you.
