the power

to clarify im not asking whats better for being a bro.. and how cool it is.. im asking the dirty question.. of what feels better... to feel powerful or just even matched

like i know we all like a good even match.. but do any purple players ever like to dominate a battlefield.. do they get a kick out of slaughter? is this question too dark idk

but it intersts me because on the one hand new players are noobs
but on the other hand they allow weaker players to finnaly become powerful

and if winning is enjoyable and not always a struggle even for new players
then for that to happen noobs may actualy be good for a game..
to allow even new players some chances to win easily

zee words...

case in point

I sometimes play training/ tutorial games with new players and while that can be fun in and of it self, the most satisfying ones are against opponents that really make me work for it.

My ideal oppponent would be someone who wins between 60 and 80% of our games. Strong enough to be beat with effort and smart tactics but hard enough that a win actuallyy has to be earned. (Also, those are the games that make you stronger in the long run, if you ever get beat by smart tactics, dont be angry, just adopt copy and improve)

let only evil lay low

I like a shieldball win the best. Where you slowly grow in power until eventually the enemy can do nothing against your overwhelming strength. Usually that means playing very carefully, knowing when to attack and when to retreat and screening properly for snitch. Shields rewards exact play with success and punishes sloppy play with doom. At the start a SB is the same as any other unit but a big SB is equivalent to a paladin or a couple of paladins.
