Prof Hoff is right

Todays prof hoff video about the daily Cav deal is shining a spotlight on a singular part of a much bigger issue. Cavalier level players have been getting the shaft on rewards, deals, shards, rank up materials etc etc for a long time now. Literally ever aspect of the game. It’s so far disconnected from our actual progression status in game and essentially does nothing to help us achieve thronebreaker.

I could have achieved TB a while back, but unfortunately I am one of those who has been affected by the input drop bug. I waited patiently for this to get fixed so I wouldn’t have to dump units on potions and revives. Not sure why I expected and hoped for the best but I did. Well, then comes the announcement about their “fix” or “answer” and it is screen resolution… smdh I’m on an iPhone 11 Pro, I’m highly doubting my phone is the issue here… I guess the general gist of this post is that I am and have been feeling very disconnected from this game as of late. What I expect of and want from this game seems so different from the direction it’s headed in.

What do you all think? Legitimate gripes or am I just being an idiot?

He is wrong from the get go ..
Why is he comparing progression levels?
If u think the TB ones are good and Cav bad.. well.. get to TB...
U don't go around your neighborhood crying about not having the best house in the block.. whatever they got they earned...

I believe they want incentives for summoners to advance in the game. With the release of 7.4 soon and the recent materials to R4 6*’s…they need to release these as viable rewards. I am assuming another progression level to unlock these in calendars etc…they don’t want Long time Cavs becoming 2 progression tiers back and making a mass exodus from the game.

And he's just obnoxious tbh. He tries to stretch his videos to the max and he complains wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much, its like every other video. Just my opinion but I just don't like his vids. Props for prof for making so many videos and trying to help tho ig

I don't watch every video he makes, but I wouldn't go that far. Prof Hoff has a very specific perspective. I think he often portrays that perspective as representing a far wider group of players than it actually does, but he does represent a significant number of players. On matters of subjective judgment, he does generally accurately represent that perspective.

That group of players (at least to me) appears to be skewed towards mid range progressing players that are casual level spenders. So his content has tended to be skewed towards highlighting the gaps between the highest progression tier and the tiers immediately below it (whatever they are at the time) which these days would be comparing UC and Cav against Thronebreaker, and the gap between occasional spenders and significant spenders.

Aside from the factual errors he's made in the past (and no one is immune to those) he has every right to represent that particular point of view and while I might disagree with him occasionally (or in the case of anything having to do with the game economy, mostly) I have no problem with him in general.

I took my own sweet time to get to uncollected, cavalier and thronebreaker. When I was still cavalier, those poorly designed cavalier offers for 4/7 and cyber mon didn't tempt me one bit. Yet I didn't moan or complain or even bothered to compare deals. It's up to kabam, really. If offers r designed to discriminate players based on titles, it's their loss of income. In the end, the gap between cav and tb players will b shown and any attempt to design new content will likely pleased either one group of players.

Seatin? Toxic? He rarely complains, is super funny, doesn't milk his videos (all of them are long and have really good quality) and hes super nice. He literally did a massive 10,000 dollar giveaway just because hes a good person.

Raganator

I mean...I have no problems with Seatin...but if you think he did a $10k giveaway simply because he's a good person then you are naïve. It was a marketing strategy.

SaltE_Wenis69

He could've eaisly gotten sponsored by giving away 2k dollars etc. but he wen't all out and went above and beyond. IK it was a marketing strategy but he could have milked the situation way more but chose not to.

They never called Seatin toxic, read it again.
They said we do need another Seatin, and that they thought that a certain hotshot would take the crown, but that hotshot proved to be more toxic than Hoff.
The real question is, who is the hotshot that they were referring to?
🧐

I suspect a couple of letters and a number

Erik_Killmonger1001

maybe ilacskills, a few months back he went a bit mad and starting just randomly accusing community members of being complicit in modding/mercing stuff

ilacskills is 200% toxic but ilac is not a hotshot by any stretch. I would rather watch sudeep or madrid create content.

DNA3000

it could be both. Through my company we've given away tens of thousands of dollars of stuff if not more as part of marketing activities. And every time we've done it, we didn't strictly speaking *need* to do it; we did it because we could justify the expense and preferred to do those giveaways instead of spending the funds on some other thing.

So yeah, I'm sure Seatin was not making a donation to the MCOC community, but I don't think it was just a corporate maneuver either. You can be doing a giveaway because of a corporate marketing strategy, and still also be doing it because you're just trying to do some good. They aren't mutually exclusive. Honestly, I'm not even sure what our return on investment was for any of our giveaway events. We did them because we liked doing them. When you're a Youtuber everything you do gets viewed through the prism of growing the channel, and probably everything they do gets seen *by them* through that lens as well. But I suspect Seatin has a lot of ways to get a better return on $10k than handing out gifting crystals. So while I'm certain Seatin knows he's getting some engagement return on that giveaway, that doesn't mean he didn't give them away primarily because he had an opportunity to give away a ton of stuff to his viewership and decided to do it primarily for the pleasure it conveyed over the return on investment he might have gotten.

I have an iPhone XR and inputs suck, I admit that freely, but I still managed to get my second account to TB a few months ago. The worst part is the grandmaster fight. Just go in with about 1500 units and you’ll get it done.

A lot of prof hoff’s content is sensationalism, it’s a bit like reading the Sun or the Star and expecting to get a sophisticated view on the days news. I realise that’s his modus operandi, but I’d be curious to know if it matches his actual opinions.

Frankly the input issues have been going for so long I’m used to it and don’t notice it at all these days. I was able to get through Cav and a fresh account inside a month with virtually no resource spend and completion of V7 with little as well. There’s so much easy access to T5CC that players have no excuses for not being TB if they’re trying to push for it. There’s also rapid champion acquisition and access to rank up materials to comfortably build enough good options to make a single pass through Act 6.

SoP propelled half the player base to TB just from killing 5 bosses. There is no real disconnect at this level in my opinion. If there is one it’s at the lack of empathy with end game content’s broken releases and buggy war

their is a time for complaining about those in higher tiers getting disproportionately higher rewards, this isn't it. I'm fine for you to think that you (cavs) are being screwed over but please don't expect the community to agree. Having cavs and thronebreakers get similar rewards would just a be middle finger to all those who put in the time and effort to beat the grandmaster and form a t5cc. Their is so much t5cc available in variants and act 7 which I would argue are very much cav level content, this narrative of "oh the poor cavs" has been around a while and multiple content creators have proven it false. If you want advice on how to beat the GM or best places to get T5cc then absolutely fine happy to help but trying to look wounded and elicit sympathy just makes people roll there eyes.
rant over.

This perplexed me for a long time. I studied Journalism briefly, and we were taught to steer away from sensationalism. I have to admit, I found it distasteful. Now I somewhat think it's smart, though still not my taste. I suppose you can use your "powers" either way. Lol.
