well here's realistic ways to deal with it", and then he goes, "nah, couldn't be me, it'll get patched." There's enough really good players here that can answer specific questions about matchups, but that's not going to actually help you if you just throw your hands up in the air and give up at the character screen.
I think your missing my entire point.
I'm talking about condescending assholes who are upset at or disregard anyone not high ranked.
I'm not talking about reset era I'm talking the Internet as a whole.
Talk about balance/tier lists all you want, but you should also understand that tier lists don't really affect anyone but the top players. I can pretty comfortably play at a 1600 level with the characters I get to master and I've still never felt like the tiers matter to me. My worst matchups tend to be lower tier characters.
Your kinda proving my point about disregarding other experiences.(Not in a asshole way I just think your missing what I'm saying)
We all understand any character can reach a high level, that doesn't mean a gold player can't make there own tier list or discuss how they think the game is balanced.
Meta exists outside of top level it's just a different meta ( There is actually many pocket metas based on location, rank , Other factors)
Tier lists effect pros and amateurs the same way
A tier list isn't some objective truth, it's just a Biased subject reflection on how the person or people who made it think the Meta is.
A tier list from a mid level player would look different than a top player but that doesn't make it less valid to there personal experience.
A matchup chart will also look different to different players at different levels , do to how players play using different tools more or less.
A.K.I vs Dhalsim at Gold isn't the same matchup than at Legend.
