Whales win Immortal status not f2p players. The 3v3 free for all is one big whale celebration. He might be f2p but he is taking a free ride on a whale.
I actually pointed this out on his stream when he was talking about becoming Immortal in conjunction with being f2p and his response was that while he never asked to get carried it is correct.
And it is just one of those inevibilities - content creators in general will always be sorrounded by a following who is willing to go to great lengths to support the creator in anything they do.
I am playing the game and loving it but the fight for Immortal status absolutely is a whale dick joust measurment.
Yes it is technically possible as a f2p player to be in a guild gaining Immortal status but it will not be the f2p player that is the deciding factor.
Your first sentence contradicts everything you said. If they cant win the status, why was it done? Whether whoever carried what, doesnt matter. The reality is, if he has the status and hes f2p, it was clearly obtainable and it happened. Pretty similar to f2p players and the ranking system in pvp right now. Get paired with enough whales that carry your wins, you'll be gold 5 in no time. I can say that much. I dont play a damage carry anymore in pvp. I cant face tank with my reduced limited mobile data nor can I just around dpsing everyone when I'm constantly being pelted with controls and stuns. Just more effective for me to play as a support Crusader. I plan to keep my rank 1 in pvp and if it means riding on a few whales , o well. Regardless, I play my part pvp and I must say I do a decent job. Quote a few times, in gold rank, even surrounded by whales on my team and whales on their team, I still manage to make mvp with a fraction of the kills and all support. It doesnt happen all the time.
All the critics are so gungho on riding this whole "whales are the only ones who can succeed" that when their whole concept is shattered because f2p players is achieving the title that ONLY the whales are supposed to have, they're getting mightily upset that their whole theory is getting thrown out the window. Even after showing proof, they immediately reject it and refuse to believe it. Theyll even generate a "maybe" scenario as to why.
It's typical for people to deny what contradicts what they're building their whole arguments on. F2p players are here to show that you dont have to pay $100,000 to play with the big boys. Whatever the situations may be, they're doing it and were gonna keep on doing it. Now it's time to get over it.
