Well, at least you're reading now, just being dismissive once more. It's good you've resorted to just saying this now.

Good luck.

I think it tries to match based on skill but I'm not sure if it's accurate or not.

If you can handle the flames that will probably come I think playing with better players is the easiest way to improve yourself.

Idk I'm sure it's not for everyone but I'm enjoying the break from my awful ranked games.

There was something like this for sc2 for a while, I forgot what it was called but it popped up and became popular then just disappeared. Really enjoyed that too when I used to play.


Played 2 games, first had 3 Spanish speakers, the second I just abandoned because I was lagging and it was over since my draft was ass and everyone was flaming each other/refusing to work together.

General skill level for me seemed fairly accurate, highest I think in my games was 3.8k iirc, maybe 4.2k, not 100%

So, higher than my solo (2.8k), but close to my party (~3.6k)


Yeah I'm sure my experience isn't typical but all my games have had mostly 4-5ks like me. A couple games I've felt like the opposing team were massively less skilled like trying a slark earth lion aggro tri vs a razor tri but mostly decent games.

You do want it, you wouldn't have written the blog if you didn't want it. You may question it and waffle in the blog but thats what you really want

you just want validation from people telling u to do it

I think you're reaching here. I don't need general acceptance to do something and opening a Patreon doesn't fail or succeed based on general opinion; it's just open as a whole.

I wrote a blog to streamline my thoughts which have been built up based on recent meetings and my situation. But if you want to imply something more, then I see you're going the full mile by not fully reading it.

I have my validation from people who approach me asking how to support over the years.

This is public writing to underline my situation and how the support wouldn't necessarily remove the amount of work still needed.

But that would mean additional work and financial support. It doesn't make the responsibilities any shorter or easier. I still want my career and I want to be in a stable position doing everything else I love. I don't want to pan-handle to a crowd and I've been doing fine without it for the past 2 years since the project started. Pandering to people's generosity to up my financial situation, when I can get work just fine feels wrong and starts to paint this project in a similar disingenuous light as those snaky people who ask me (even if unintended or not exactly similarly).


It's the last paragraph.

Yeah, the blog is a bit long-winded and not clear-cut at all; so I can see why cynics are having a field day. Thankfully, they are overwhelmed by an opposing majority.
