Personally, i find trump, strifecro and life coach to be overrated. I feel like their success revolves around being able to predict the meta very well, and tech their decks very well. But, when it comes to actually piloting, i feel they make questionable decisions, and somehow, rarely get punished for them.
But alas, as he has explained before, ladder is boring to him because he has already achieved legend before. Arena, to him, is where the real skill center is because you have to be able to build and pilot a good deck. Does he whine some times? yeah. Dont we all? he isnt fake on his stream. If something pisses him off, he says something about it.
Kripp has never reached legend
my bad. the video i was thinking back to was just him discussing the legend rank and why i means nothing to him, and why he chooses to play arena instead.
Anyway, his resume speaks for itself with the work that he put in with PoE, WoW, and pre nerf D3. He hasnt done anything to lead me to believe that he couldnt dominate the ladder if he chose to. This just doesnt seem to interest him.
I cant really say if i have ever watched a streamer that i think is overrated. I generally just go onto streams that i know are professionals. There may be times where i disagree with a play, but typically those cards that i wanted that player to use earlier, came in handy later. Was it right or wrong? i dont know.
The main thing i wanted to say is that Kripparian is probably the most talented gamer i have ever watched play a (non shooter) game. Anything he picks up he dominates and dissects it. Kripparian is also probably one of the most talented HS players i have ever watched as well. He isnt a legend player season in and season out and doesnt participate in tournaments because all he does is play arena and make gimmick decks. If he devoted his time to laddering, and didnt make purposefully non optimal decks, he could probably finish top 10 legend every season.
