The leaderboards are the best and worse thing to ever happen to me. On one hand I enjoy the competition, but on the other, I hate feeling the obligation to play to win. I miss the days where I could play with friends and jump off buildings in SG2, or get punched off cliffs in SG3, or get betrayed in SG4. But nowadays mcsg has gotten so hypercompetetive for me, it's gotten to be saddening and disheartening how much I seem to care about my win count. I always say I'd never leave, but if there's one thing that will ever give me the justification in my mind to leave, you better believe I will.what happens when you spend an hour alive, only to die in deathmatch and win nothing? it sucks to spend so much time only to lose.
people like to win, the game got much more competitive when breeze island came out, because it was the first small map, and things got very competitive and it was easy to win games fast. leaderboards only added to it.
now, everyone just wants to farm wins to prove skill, which is why leaderboards and ranks are such a big deal.
sometimes i wish i was more well known/active in the community/forums back when long games and v1 were the thing. i feel as though i would have made a lot more friends, gotten better, and actually had a shot at the leaderboards. at the same time, i'm glad i wasn't, because its quite... how should i say... reassuring? that i can leave this community any time i want without feeling obligated to go back.The leaderboards are the best and worse thing to ever happen to me.
