something something there might be esports literature on this something something exercise probably

you cant fool me

i took it as a given that getting to S+10 is way less efficient than just getting from S to S+ at the beginning of the szn, it's like 1/4-1/3 as many games needed

i agree that the system is dumb but i feel like it doesn't take that long to get back to S+0

and by the time you get back in it's nice because youre not fighting top jp players at 2500 xp and getting -100 for unwinnable sets

alright it's out you guys have a good time : youtu.be/3RLK7NpJ89A

people have centralized the docs like 5 times
there just arent that many amd people just bookmark instead of actually reading in full

then u basically said "well maybe more exposure would be helpful" and to that i say i dont think it will from prior experience

but you are welcome to try

i just wont be joining you cuz im not feeling too inspired personally

i have nothing more to say btw i have no reason to discourage you from writing

the initial premise was "how do we get people to read for splatoon" and my reply was "that is an open challenge in education in general, even with more direct incentives to try and push kids to read, so idk"

sure, that's valid

i just dont think flooding the market with written work is a very viable path to success, especially relative than creating consumable video content

there arent enough ppl that can/will do it

it is very easy to say "why so negative, i'm sure it'll do something!" when you did not actually do the thing and experience the frustration of watching its effects be minimal

please note that I spent several months writing something and watched it do nothing

im not just like
hallucinating

i am speaking from personal experience, as well as the experiences of others who i have spoken to who have similary attempted to create change through written stuff

you can argue that people who want to be the best should put more effort in but

the intersection of people with immediate potential to take the leap to high level vs the people who will sit down and read
is basically nonexistent

the argument against writing is that objectively it doesnt get enough high quality engagement to create real change

people either skim and misinterpret or bookmark and dont rly read it

sure, there are some people that engage fully
but there won't be much

in other words its not a splatoon problem lol its a systematic collapse

America Is Sliding Toward Illiteracy Declining standards and low expectations are destroying American education.

i recognize this is an ironic reply but

i understand that you think removing + would be helpful

i just think that
removing + won't help people's mindsets
AND
removing + introduces new problems for access/visibility/weakened meritocracy

so i think, overall, removing + is harmful, not helpful

people egoing and trying to "result" others at your level is unrelated to the existence of +

in short, I don't think deleting + would make a dent in the results-oriented problems at low lvl, and it would just make high/top level even more private/gated, so you'd get nonzero loss with minimal gain
