They're all difficult games, which is precisely why they're played competitively. They all have insurmountable skill ceilings. As long as the skill ceiling is high enough to where no one ever reaches it, the degree of "difficulty" is arbitrary. This is getting far off topic. Well, the skill level/skill cap ratio certainly affects how often lesser skilled player beats higher skilled(along with possible randomish effects on games) so even if no one ever fully reaches skill cap (doing 100% optimal thing 100% of the time), reaching high enough portion of it makes so that lesser players will be able to win higher percentage of games, so arguments like "it's easy for everyone" or "no one can ever reach the skillcap" aren't completely valid. | ||

As evidenced by how frequently foreigners are taking games off of Koreans? The skill gap at the moment is wide enough to allow the best players to consistently win. We've come a long way since the volatility of early WOL and the game will become more stable as it further evolves. | ||

If so, how long did you use the specific buttons or sticks before they were broken or became unusable. Analog sticks are the quickest thing to become unusable. They get little dead zone spots. Which means while the analog stick is turning there are certain spots in the sticks rotation that the mouse will freeze and get stuck for a second. This hurts micro and I usually retire the stick pretty quickly once one appears. The buttons and directional pad are stressed a lot more then usually too. In a few cases the buttons and become sticky as well. I think I've torn up maybe 7 or so game pads(xbox360 controllers) over 3 years. Although the current one I have seems to be lasting me an odd amount of time. I'd order say a madcatz xbox360 game pad or something but I hear they don't have the same start up movement and sensitivity like the stock ones do. So I've stayed away from them for now. If anyone knows of a reliable Non-Stock controller lemme know. <3 Cress | ||
