| 1 | @Anir i didn´t say i dislike the steep learning-curve. On the contrary, i think this is what makes the game great. | 1 | @Anir i didn´t say i dislike the steep learning-curve. On the contrary, i think this is what makes the game great. | 
                
                    |  |  | 2 | Before i came here i played 2 other competitive games: | 
                
                    |  |  | 3 | Go/Baduk/Weiqi: | 
                
                    |  |  | 4 | Binge-learn patterns, opening- and mid-game-sequences, no chance of reaching any elo above 2300 unless you dedicate your entire luife to the game and even then no chance of reaching anything above 2500 if you didn´t start at the age of 3 and then becoming scolar of a professional really early. | 
                
                    |  |  | 5 | Super Smash Brothers Melee: | 
                
                    |  |  | 6 | Sit in your room alone for years to practise frame-perfect-inputs and combos. Practised at least 3 hours per day for a year, went to a local tournament (very low level compared to international standarts), got trashed by the weakest player there. |

                    |  |  | 8 | Actually ZK is the game i made the most progress so far i think. I am attracted to it because i have to learn alot without it becoming a boring repetitive skill-grind. | 
                
                    |  |  | 9 | Also, when i was new and a real real noob, people were friendly and ready to help me and accept my mistakes as soon as i communicated with them and showed my willingness to learn. The absolute mayority of this community is very friendly and just becomes annoyed or even hostile if you as a new player ignore advice or become brazen or hostile yourself. Hostility that i witnessed was never due to pure lack of skill, but always about your behaviour as a person. (OFC there might be the odd exeptions, but those are just such: exeptions.) |
