      @@Mr_Edwards_1995 Nah. There's not much quite like twitch. All social media platforms have their annoyances. CZcams comments can be toxic and aggressive. Redditors think they're right about everything. Tumblr activism has caused more harm than good. Facebook makes us all look stupid as hell. Instagram, twitter... the list goes on. Twitch's unique thing is that when you watch Twitch chat you notice that 200 people can type the same thing in the span of a millisecond without coordinating with each other to do it and still somehow those are all unique individuals. Twitch chat is just full of spergs. It's diet 4-chan at best, injected straight into the veins.

    Whenever Asmon decides to have a real talk, he should just ignore chat until he's done. The mongs in his chat literally cannot think for themselves and have terrible attempts at trying to get Asmon to admit he's wrong. Most of the things chat says can be countered by thinking about it for like 2 seconds. Expect nothing less from people who spam LUL only when Asmon fake laughs at a video.

    It's really interesting to see a streamer of Asmon's fame speak so candidly on how much it's affected his personal relationships. I'm glad Asmon is so emotionally aware and understands that he needed a break and was able to do so. Even though I've never met either one of them, I've watched Asmon pretty regularly for the past couple of years so it's clear how good of friends they are, so in a way I have a sort of empathy pain seeing things so rough between them. Hopefully things with Mcconnell can be patched up, not just for the stream and entertainment value but so that these guys can have their friendship back.

    • @JohnandLynda1

I work a basic 9-5 but I’m going to acting school because it’s what i wanna do. They’re not following their dreams and passions and are already putting themselves in a bubble, before their life even starts!

Retail is a disaster but obviously this is only my decision... Love the game now hope my favorite of all expansions Burning crusade comes out.

    I understand where he's coming from. There have been a handful of times in my life I've felt and done the same. It's hard to go through a massive change gracefully. But part of that is recognizing you're going to hurt people and damage relationships, and it kind of *is* your fault to some degree. People can't be rational all of the time, we are only human. I hope they have a productive talk off stream. Only a few things are more rewarding than reconnecting with a good friend you thought was lost forever.

  • @derbigpr500
    @derbigpr500 Před 4 lety

    It all started a long time before the freaking ret spec in raids. They started drifting apart as soon as they started leveling. Or in other words, when they didn't level together and when Asmon basically found a new group for himself to level with, basically kicking Mcconnell out and not playing with him at all. Everyone expected they would be playing together, but Asmon just basically ignored Mccconnell once Classic came out and put him into a position where he felt like Asmon didnt want to play with him anymore.

    • @jihadalott992
      @jihadalott992 Před 3 lety

      This right here is something I dont think a lot of people realized. McConnell wanted to level with Asmon but Asmon was just straight up cruel to him (oh your 4 levels behind us so catch up to us and maybe you can level with us). McConnel tried to catch up but Asmon was on the fast track with a group of ppl that knew the most efficient way to level and they were fully 5 man grouped. You could tell that McConnel thought for sure they would level up together and Asmon didn't consider that. Than like a snowball, Asmon started to slowly seperate himself from McConnel by constantly shit talking his class, his gear, his contribution. So McConnel leaves to play horde and is not gonna try for the guild that treats him like shit (its hard to care about a guild that constantly puts you down and expects you to do something you dont enjoy like healing).
      Than all of a sudden everything that you got shitted on for gets thrown out the window by the guild and they appoint some random ret guy and "its okay" says Asmon. Asmon didnt even say, hey can McConnel play ret and get gear as well? It seems like Paladini did not like McConnel and Asmon knew that Paladini was a good organizer and experienced and chose to let him handle the reins. By the time McConnel tries to come back the whole guild disapproves of him and shuns him.

  • @gimpyrabbit6805
    @gimpyrabbit6805 Před 4 lety +54

    Honestly it seems like McConnell is being selfish. When one of my friends is tired and not feeling up to doing something with me I don't press the issue. Especially if they're stressed out, instead of whining at them about what I want I ask them what's wrong and can I help.

    I was main offtank for my guild back during retail vanilla. There was no bidding for tank drops. If something that the main tank needed dropped, he got it. If he didn't need it, i would get it. If i didn't need it, the other offtanks/dps warriors could bid DKP. I only ever had to bid on sidegrades/arms spec shit. The maintank and I were fully geared for our tier in a few weeks. In fact, i joined the guild better geared than their main tank, and watched him get geared out over me, because that was the deal. Tanks are too important for the raid to be fretting loot distribution.

      I mean it was streamer guild he prolly just expected people to be there for him and wouldnt really interact with eachother much. I completely get his perspective, it is really annoying if your friend decides to be a burden for a group of players and that group has trust in you. If anything, it is the friend being a douche for putting you into such situation. Friendships being burden to success is so toxic and ignorant.

Not even consider raiding with them. He didn't even talk about Mcconnel, but about some other ret pal in their guild that the group accepted and was willing to play with.
