Complaining about "cheesy" strategies in games usually just means you're bad. Like, I'm sorry, but if the strategy only works because you "don't wanna" play around it - you're bad.

--and yeah, I get it, it's a total pain in the ass having to put all your effort into something when you just wanna chill and play a game, but...

What if the other person is doing that? --and you're just... -losing? ??? Like, what're you gonna do, ruin THEIR fun like a bitch?

By the way, I'm saying this as someone WHO gets salty at this exact shit. I'll deadass walk into the same attacks over and over and then get mad for all of like 2 minutes like "yeah, I got outplayed like mad because I didn't adapt" like just admit that and move on, who cares?

I'm so exhausted by people who don't understand this. Yeah, it's "not fun" to face something simple that you can't beat, but it's also "not fun" when someone tries to police the way you play a game.

If anything it should be reason to improve, and if you don't enjoy getting better at a game there's a good chance you might just not enjoy it at all? I know that's a hot take, but enjoying something only to a certain point is usually a red flag for me, at least.

Now remembering playing Smash 4 and one guy who mained Cloud tried to tell me Meta Knight (post ladder nerf) was cheap just BC I kept catching him with tornado or bouncing him against the stage with sideB like bro you have a sword the side of whole plats and why are you offstage?

Anyway, I Cloud ditto'd him and won because he wouldn't stop being sweaty trying all these combos and/or walking into my Climhazzard onto ledge.

Like, honestly just take a moment to look at what your opponent is doing and you'll be surprised at what you can beat, regardless of "cheap" or not. Don't be one of those people.

Like IDK, I get mad at this because there's so many layers of excuses to defend so little pride, like you'll walk away with more cred if you just admit you did bad and either don't mind or can improve, like did none of y'all watch cartoons growing up?

Like didn't Ash Ketchum go through this exact arc like 12 times? Dang. You think that shit would be heatmapped into your neurons or some shit by now. Take the L with grace, peace out, and hit the lab.

That way even when you're playing just to be chill you won't get bopped.

Addendum:
It's okay to not find fighting someone specific fun. -and you can back out with more grace than spewing toxicity, even if you think they are ruining others' fun. But you have to face facts that a lot of things just aren't fun if you aren't prepared to put effort in.
