Very dumb argument, the absolute worst fpker today who dies on go 9/10 rounds would literally 50-0 the best dueler of "that time" just by the mechanical knowledge of the game. Metas advance and grow, and people who reference times when the best player wasnt even on par with the absolute worst modern player are part of the problem of the evolution of competitive gaming.
Nobody, on ANY game, from early ages of their games, are even comparable to the lowest "high level" gamers today. If wsg is removed, you will have the best 2-3 players literally playing a 174 sin who will 5-0 ANYBODY on ANY character.
Referencing "a time before wsg" also references a time when even the "best" assassins didn't understand the mechanical frames of their character, how their skills worked, how THE ENEMY'S frames worked, or even knew how to namelock an enemy within 1.0 of being on their screen yet alone comprehend FHR delays in conjunction to their trap laying speed/trap cast delays.
Stop that argument PLEASE lol.
I was going to point out this same things but then you did it for me.
The effect you describe is real. I've noticed it over the years in many games.
Now that streaming/youtubing is a common thing, you can go back and watch pro players during year 1 or 2 of a game,
and then you realize they were actually shit compared to normal players in like year 8 of a game.
100% true what you described here. Things are not going to pan out well if WSG is removed.
I largely agree with LoftyEs in the idea that:
All other things set aside, at the end of the day, the game's dynamic is just better with WSG than it is without out.
