Sometimes people have more knowledge and experience than you and can answer your questions. I think anyone who has ever asked a question about the game from anyone would understand why a player might turn to experienced players like some of the streamers for advice.
Some things are quantifiable (which quest/route gives the best ISO) and the evidence can speak for itself.
However, most things in MCOC are VERY subjective. "Who is the best champ" can be answered 100 different ways by 100 different people. The game is specifically designed that way, each champ has their strong and weak attributes, but what makes them really strong is how well the player can use them...
When it comes to following players on youtube, I often just look for insight into how certain champs match up and to learn more about how to utilize their abilities properly. Some champs are really straight forward and others are very nuanced. Learning how to play a champ properly is the first step in trying to build experience.
The youtuber's "job" is to be engaging and entertaining. I believe saying obvious things is only a hobby.
Bro i understand but this has nothing to do with i hate them i like to watch them for fun but some people put their entire gaming experience into trying to do what a youtuber did
I don't recommend that at all. For one thing, banana peels taste horrible.
YouTubers share their views and opinions, just like anyone else. You should get as much reliable info as possible and then form your own conclusions. Don't do anything just because X or Y says so.
I try to cover all elements of Entertainment Videos, Tips, Guides and Gameplay, however i do agree with you that sometimes stating the obvious isn't great.
On the topic of assisting the community, when i spoke to a work colleague who after a year of not knowing i was an MCOC youtuber, i asked him; "What videos would be good for your level?" He said he was level 50 and he wanted to know the best ways to concentrate on getting/ aiming for more T4 Class Catalysts, it was easier for me to respond "via Fragments from Alliance Crystals, Glory Crystals and T4CCFC" or go more in depth in a video. I guess for people like is the reason we make content to help.
In some other games like World of Tanks, they commentate over action and link up with a community contributor programme with the developer. MCOC does not have it and last time they did a review element Seatin, Dork Lesson, Brian Grant and Rezzident got treated like **** over getting a free 4 star howard the duck.
Therefore there are no clear perimeters of what a MCOC Youtuber should cover, we kinda have to make it up as we go along with no developer influence.
I do agree that the experience is your own and when people ask me who to rank, my response is "If you enjoy playing with the character and its a go to character for you , then rank them up".
All on all. They give their best opinions as to what might be cut off or try to give us the best leaked info or what have you. If your in the state of the game with that is all.you relly on the that is your fault. This is a very technical game that requires a huge amount of skill,luck, and time. When youve played this games for years we've seen the good and bad. Arenas have sky rocketed for some champs for a reason. They have great utilities or are great champs for offense or defense. Aq realibale what have you . I couldn't grind for a champ to save my life for a very long time. Almost a year to compete with the big boys.
Try and understand it takes time and effort nothing is given to you in this game. I dont defend kabam in the fullest about every thing trust me. I hate on them to. If you like to play ,play! If you dont, then dont! Other than that see you and war or arenas. Dont hate on youtubes for trying to help you through a complex game . #bewarethe MEØW
Only watch Dorky sometimes coz he's funny
That's a strange criticism, insofar as I don't see a lot of videos trying to show "how strong a character is" these days. But in terms of the channels I tend to watch most often, Seatin does the master mode monthly with 3* champs for a challenge. Dave does more videos on how to fight certain opponents, not how strong a particular champion is on offense. A lot of the gameplay I see on Brian's channel or the Analyzer include 4* champs, although the Analyzer does have a lot of very high end fights as well. The other streamers like Joel, Rezzident, mvince, and whoever else I'm forgetting off the top of my head, seem to have a reasonable cross section of fights using different champs.
