Last good patch was the one before they fucked with nade jump. It's been downhill ever since. After nade jump they made it so you could no longer push the younglings if you're on rebel side in JediTemple. Then, they fixed the mustafar stuck spot on imp spawn (that's bob's fault btw, he reported that). Deathstar prison cells? Man, I sure loved timewasting there. Boom, gone. Hiding inside boba fett's ship on cloudcity? Removed. Getting the elevators on deathstar's rebel spawn stuck? I don't think so buddy. Anyone remember the shwing voiceline? Yeah, who needs funny taunts anyways. Tking at the beginning of the round to assert dominance? Nope, you'll be permabanned from the internet before you can do 5 points of damage to your target. Throwing a thermal detonator to a deka? Insta-ban, best case scenario you get 2 extra kills. Everything that could be said about speedlunging has been said at this point, but yes, that was a fuckup as well. Pesky was an artist, the kind you only see once every 1000 years. CMP Telos was his canvas, and speedlunging was his brush. Yet, since the patch, I haven't seen him once. So I ask; who are you devs, to deprive the world of such an artist? Who are you to deprive the world of such beauty? We've been blessed with a modern day Michael Angelo, and you choose to cast him off? To exile him? The arrogance.
All these changes are done to favor the tryhards, but my take is that if these gnome nerds are so good at the game, they should be able to kill the trolls / tkers and move on, right? If anything, having people in your team working against you increases the difficulty of the game. Sort of like spies in TF2. Isn't that what these tryhards are looking for, a challenge? If you see a teammate force pushing a youngling on top of the elevator so his head gets crushed once it reaches the ceiling, you should TK said teammate, not go crying to the devs. Instead, they choose to involve a third party because they're too afraid to stand up for themselves. If you ask me, scrimmers hiding behind the devs when the trolls come knocking seems kinda gay.
I remember during templar(+) days (RIP Bully btw, god rest his soul) trolls and scrimmers used to live together in perfect chaos, and the friction between both factions created the spark that made the game enjoyable. Such fond memories I have of tking there. Nowadays mankind is divided, half living in Gonk heaven, and the other living in aliit. Sure, there's a little overlap, you'll often see missionaries from one side visiting the other kingdom, but for the most part each nation sticks to their piece of land. Neither group will admit this, but I think we all miss playing together. Trolling amongst trolls is fun, but there's nothing like trolling tryhards. The adrenaline of chasing down a top fragger and the dopamine rush of ruining a perfect K/D. The fact that he has put all the effort in the world staying alive for 20 rounds, destroying every opponent in his path, only to get backstabbed by a teammate using a kit fisto skin. That's beauty, that's art. Running in front of a teammate sniper so he blows up your head instead and gets kicked.. I'm getting a warm feeling just thinking about it. And I have to imagine scrimmer servers get equally stale after a while. I think a part of them wishes they could remove the stick they have up their ass and actually have fun playing the game. We all know this isn't Counter Strike, this will never be a serious shooter. So, to all the tryhards: get crazy every once in a while, you know? You see a big group of teammates behind a locked door, and looking at your inventory you find some frag nades. A feeling starts rushing in, you feel butterflies in your stomach. So what if I have to wait 10 rounds after? This is worth it. Say it with me, this is worth it. Then, gently pull the safety off your nade, and let go. Don't try to run. You go down with them. There's honor in that. There's honor in trolling. Stop trying to silence us, stop trying to nerf us. #TrollLivesMatter
