The Most Dangerous Drug in Esports

Ойындар

Esports fans are used to disappointment.
From your favourite team choking, to disastrous game announcements, the most faithful supporters are often the ones who get let down the most.
Sure, dedication and passion for our beloved games, teams and players is what brings us together and takes us to the highest highs. But it also drags us down to our most crushing lows.
What if I told you though, that there was a way to never be disappointed again?
What if I told you that with one magical substance, you could avoid being let down by loss after loss after loss. No, I’m not talking about glorified gamer meth - I’m talking about pure, uncut Copium.

    @@MatoVidovic_ Besides it being easier to jump into casually, it also does away with a lot of the more toxic elements, like the ability for a single player to snowball or feed (since EXP/levels are shared across the team as a whole and there's no last-hitting, just need to be present in lanes). It lacks the individual depth of laning in games like LoL or DotA for sure, but also puts a lot more emphasis on big brawly teamfights, so another big benefit for the casual fun factor.

    @@cangrexX In fact they are both quite similar to be honest. Hopium is when we anchor ourselves in a genuine hope that a change will occur, as there is still goodwill on that part. On copium, there's the need to lie to yourself first, and then continue believing that some change will occur. I understood what he meant more or less. When we say that we are taking the copium normally, despite the lie told to ourselves, we know that deep down this goodwill always be a lie, and that we only cultivate this false hope because we aren't prepared to let go of it and move on with our lives. And unfortunately there are people who confuse this lie with genuine hope. Either out of naivety, or because they would feel bad assuming that such empty hope is preventing them from getting rid of an obsession, and they try to sugarcoat it to compensate.
