coming from now being exposed to low level for the past 2 months almost, i've felt miserable having to transition from being on a stable team to making my own and starting from the ground up... it doesn't help that i underestimated just how bad the switch was. thankfully we're making progress tho!

After playing 40+ hours with midlevel, I can confidently say it was the most miserable experience I’ve had playing this game mostly because I skipped this part of the scene back in S2 and didn’t realize how bad it could actually be. It’s not miserable because of overall skill level, because yeah everything is gonna feel worse outside of top level after being in it for long. The biggest thing hurting this part of the scene is ego. I had over 60 tryouts, and almost all of them said it’s hard for them to even get four people to try out with. That genuinely confused me, because for the most part everyone I played with felt extremely similar in skill, and I could easily see these players scrimming each other regularly and figuring out how to mesh over time.

This explains a lot of why midlevel feels weaker as a whole. A lot of these players simply don’t get enough meaningful playtime outside of rare pickups or X Rank, so they’re missing the constant feedback loop that actually drives improvement. Playing against people at a similar level forces you to recognize patterns, and improve through adaptions. Over time, that raises the average skill for everyone involved.

There were so many situations in games where I had to explain why we were losing or what we needed to change to win and I honestly think most of these players would’ve figured it out themselves eventually if they were consistently playing each other instead of isolating themselves or waiting for β€œbetter” lobbies. when players actually PLAY THE GAME, the average skill level naturally rises. 

This isn't entirely mid levels fault though, I think top level players can do a better job at providing knowledge to mid level players to improve but better questions need to be asked to top players too, all the time I see questions like oh what special is best or how do i play "insert weapon here" these are terrible questions and we need to move on to better questions like "what should i have done in this scenario here" b…

Tierlist. Most weapons can place structures on the map, but a sizeable portion can't. Custom dualie squelchers if first place with 15 structures

unfortunately, reazlo and oggie have left shrouded spirits in pursuit of their own goals.
in that case, we are URGENTLY looking for a backline (preferably pen but may look for other options,) that's ready to haunt the comp scene!
please dm nautizooka on discord for any inquiries!

true!! unfortunately i'm not low level anymore.
this could also be used as negative press to tell midlevel+ that "hey, let's farm sendouq this day," but at least their matury should know better than to farm low levels. at least low level can take a good guess what a low level pickup is on sendou

i absolutely second this, low levels need a lot more consistent practice with others of their skill level especially. we need to spread the word!!!

Hey ive had this idea where we flood sendouQ on any given day with low levels.

Like we can all agree sendouQ is really cool but its so dead for anyone not midlevel and above. Can we do like sendouQ sunday on the 15th this month and just flood the queue with low levels for a singleday?
