I really enjoyed Rocket League to but found it far too easy to get good and got bored quickly

I beg to disagree
I am in Champ 1 after almost 900 hrs and I still feel like a complete noob. Believe me, there's so many things to learn about this game

To the topic at hand: WA was pretty much the only good multiplayer game I could play on my ancient laptop lol

P.S: It's 4 divisions, Sensei

Your signature says Diamond and Platinum though.

Btw, I am with Komo on this one though, playing a lot does not mean you will get good at it, you can have ten times the amount of games and still be worse than someone that is trying to be good. Let's take a look at World of Tanks which I play when there are events.

https://www.blitzstars.com/player/eu/Qnubis

I only have like 4k games in this game which is approx. 350 hours according to Steam. I have reached the status of Unicum, which is better than 99,9% of the players on the server. Above that rank is only super unicum which is better than 99,99% of players. Which I am not too far off. (It starts around 2900 WN8) Now if you compare this to someone that has played 10 times the amount of games like this guy:

https://www.blitzstars.com/player/eu/jonty_2014

He has played SOOOO many more games than me, yet he is worse because he is a worse gamer over-all. I strongly believe that everyone has a hidden potential in gaming and no matter how much you play you will plateau. In any game I wanted to become good at I have managed to do that at a very high level. I think Csongi has like 1,7k hours in CS:GO and I had like 250 yet I was able to keep up with him mechanically in terms of aiming etc. I just didn't have map knowledge because I rarely play. So for example if you say Peja didn't manage to reach rank xy after z hours. I am not surprised. If Mablak played RL for 1k hours and wasn't at top level I would believe it is hard.

Because 99% of my old friends that played W:A quit.

Is it hard to make new friends on WA?

Not interested in making friends with people I have nothing in common with.

The keyboard is fully modular anyway, if you scroll down you can see that you can replace the switches very easily if one broke.

W:A was the pinnacle of online gaming.

Yeah, and infrared switches instead of metal to metal contacts which makes it faster than any other KB solution. Unfortunately it comes out 10 years too late or I would buy one. No point anymore for a dead game now.

Here is the perfected keyboard.

Now we just need Novicane, DevH and they have a strong lineup to dominate the league.

Recruit 3 random people in AG and you can dominate the league 

What about opponents?

I remember in the past posting in forums, whatever league it was, and nobody would give me the time of day.

That's how it's been for me forever lol... some people think that if you don't play ranked then you're just a scrub and not worth consideration. Honestly, some of the most epic matches I've ever had with people were who either rarely play for rank or don't at all. There's plenty of players who don't play for rank who are just as good as league players, but that's just my opinion.

As far as past players not self-aggrandizing... ehhh, I dunno about that. They might not have posted publicly about it here but I have definitely had some ego-fueled conversations with some of the people mentioned in this thread (and plenty of others), but that's old news and I don't care. I think that a certain degree of egoism comes with playing a game for so many years and competing at a high level. The good news is that ego tripping seems a LOT less prevalent than it used to be. I don't know if that's due to the fact that activity has died down a lot or if people have simply just matured to a point by which they don't feel the need to act in such a way.

These days I am simply happy to just play and practice and work on weaknesses, and hopefully have some cool conversations while doing so.

That's not entirely true, for example saltyk9 never really played singles or clanners because he simply enjoyed warmer and rr more. But if he choose to play he was a damn scary opponent, sure he would do a trick or two in roper that was unnecessary and might lose him the game but he was a speed demon that could get any cr8 and still hit you. His BnG was also pretty decent afaik as well as T17. I was always glad to have him around in NBR or ToP as a potential partner to play with even though he would let other members step forward to play the competitive side of the clan. It's true that league stats back you up more reliably. But that is true IRL as well. Street Basketball "pros" all have great players but are not regarded as best basketball players of all time because they have no organized leagues that are broadcasted. Would they hold up in the NBA? Maybe, are they the best? No, because they can't prove it.

Though nothing would beat a tense clanner/tourny final.

This, I think I can safely speak for many players when we all agree we miss good Clanner competition the most...

skunk, I agree with you, I enjoy tense funners as well, but it's hard to find people like that.

Clanners will always be the best thing about W:A leagues, too bad it's the easiest scene to lose, singles can survive with little players but clanners really can't. Honestly, FBCL was my favorite time of Worms in hindsight. Great activity, fierce clanner competition and still many new blood pouring in as well as hundreds of oldies to play with. I would relax in warmers and wait for my clan mates to show up and find clanners. I doubt I will find a better gaming experience ever. It was the perfect package for both, competition and funners. Early-mid TUS clanners were also great but I wasn't much around in the beginning due to other games that caught my attention, my personal fav. time will always be FB.

There are two ways to reply to any thread on the internet.

1. You stay on topic and reply what the thread is about.
2. You attack the thread creator.

90% of the time people choose 2. And that is not unique to TUS or W:A or anything. I frequent many forums way bigger than worms and it always boils down to debates and arguments over the most useless things, mainly opinions which have formed over the course of years or even decades and thus are very unlikely to change. I have come to the conclusion that online interaction with strangers is just a clown fiesta and people just want to be "right" to boost their ego. You can literally check anyone on these forums, including me, and you find this typical human behavior.

The easiest way to get along online is to just have no opinion at all. People even trust you way more if you are neutral on everything because they think you don't care anyway.

BnG

This is the moment we have all been waiting for, I am glad to witness this once in a lifetime event.

It is happening for real this time.

At least I can say that I was here from the beginning 2000 till the end (I predict 2019). I might have left and joined a lot of W:A clans but nobody can say I wasn't around here in good and bad.
