Guys ease up...I'm sure it's already embarrassing enough being called out. I'm a pretty good intermediate player, in fact right now at launch, I'm probably better than most guys in 2000lp and down, been playing SF for a while, but even I wanted to get that trophy right away, and before I hit 4K I got a super sluggish ridiculous match teleporting and just quit out of it, cuz I didn't feel like playing anymore and maybe losing points in that match when I was about to rank up? Would he have beat me? Probably not, could I just get to 4K anyway afterwards even with a loss? Probably. Am I a loser for that? Should I be banned from tournaments? Did I break the code of conduct because I don't want to sit through a lag match? Lol...come on ppl
Sometimes the artificial trophy addiction gets to you. Why do we want to 'get Gud'? Are we striving to go to Evo and win $10,000 for our struggling family? Perhaps some, but likely it's just for bragging rights. We want our skill acknowledged in some shape or form, how is that anyway more valued than wanting to get a platinum trophy?
It will be fixed soon. But maybe that's all some people have. A 100 win streak to 'pretend' they are Diago for a few weeks. Just don't forget this is a video game. Be kind to one another.
