Anyone remember this thread from a few weeks ago?
Dude wrote a whole essay about how high elo was too toxic for him and it opened his eyes to how it wasn't worth his time and decided to uninstall and quit the game permanently. This post garnered 4.5k upvotes
Turns out he just started playing again. He was banned for 2 weeks because he was toxic. This whole time he was spouting how other players were toxic but he's been permanently chat banned on both of his high elo accounts. you can take a guess as to how
Don't trust these type of posts
edit: dude deleted his reddit account after being exposed. his post history is visible on some reddit archive sites that i won't post here. before he deleted his accounts, he said he would let his OldMonk account decay to "prove" that he quit entirely.
in this post here from last year that he has another account that's master as well, so what are the chances of him just playing on that one instead? he's already changed the name of that account and i wasn't able to find it but what are your thoughts?

I finished the DLC a few days ago. Played through ER a few times and all the other souls games. Didn't have too many issues overall with ER except for the final DLC boss and Malenia. I usually try solo at first and then use summons or if I need it. I don't think I'm a pro but I'm not terrible either, I'm just solidly average.
I like ER and Shadow of the Erdtree, but I gotta say, I think we are getting to the limit of how fast enemies, especially bosses, can be given how much slower we as the player are. I'm not here to rehash the game having an easy mode or some shit. Nor am I talking about biological reaction speed. I mean enemy speed/design in relation to player animation/movement, and the tools we have to react. What I'm talking about are:
5/6 hit wombo combos that you basically do nothing but roll through until you can actually attack (yes parry is a thing I know but is every build supposed to have a parry shield?)
Movement speed and range that allows bosses to jump all over the arena with no sense of weight or inertia
Gap closer attacks that have near instant animation speed and huge range. Similar to above but I feel these are two slightly different things
Animation/particle effects with stuff flying around so much it can be difficult to just visually parse what is actually happening
Bosses animation cancelling through their own attacks and often having little recovery from one attack string to the next
Camera sucks against large enemies tho this is more of a technical issue than a design problem
Like call me crazy, but when I die to a boss and my first thought instead of 'I fucked up that roll' is 'I literally could not tell what was happening', maybe that means something is wrong.
Meanwhile here we are, definitely faster than we were in DS1, but with still the same basic roll, same overtuned input buffering, very situational animation cancelling, and dodge roll on release. Enemies instead are 300% faster than they used to be and all their attacks are 5 hit combos. I was waiting to see what the DLC looked like before coming to any conclusion but its clear at this point they are just continuing in the same direction.
If you personally enjoy how FS has increased the difficulty in this way, thats great. But for me, if enemies can move around like anime characters I'd prefer to not feel like I'm controlling drunk Arthur Morgan with a big sword. The sense of accomplishment is real...but is this how it should be derived? If enemies can move like this maybe we should be able to as well.
I don't think its hyperbole to say if Smough was designed as an Elden Ring boss, he'd be flipping around like Yoda. Am I in the minority for wanting more of a connection between boss speed/movement and their design? I'm not lying when I say the way some ER / SoTE bosses move around reminds me of looney tunes characters.
And fwiw I sympathize with FS here. How do you keep upping the challenge given the huge arsenal of skills and weapons players have to respond? Its an enormous task. I just fundamentally disagree with the direction they have gone with and it makes me wonder what kind of bonkers nonsense is going to be in the next game in 4 or 5 years. One random quote on reddit I saw that I still remember is 'Sekiro is like driving a sports car through a jungle. Elden Ring is like driving a piece of shit car on ice. They're both hard but for different reasons'. Yeah I lol'd seeing this comment but I sorta agree.
Again if you are thrilled with the game and dlc, I'm not trying to diminish your enjoyment or skill. Me complaining about design does not take a way from a players skill at being able to overcome it!
I realize in the end series always change over time and some people like the new direction and others don't. I'm just somewhere in the middle I guess - on enemy mechanics. The art, atmosphere, music, and lore are better than ever.
Edit- since the git gud crowd is struggling with reading comprehension as usual, I'll say this - the longest I spent on any boss was probably 30 or 45 minutes, other than the final boss. I made a good pace the whole time and never felt stuck. Never walked away from a boss and ending up clearing messmer way too early at scoobydoo level 6 since I wasn't using a guide. If not clearing every boss in 5 minutes is a skill issue than I guess 99% of the playerbase aren't allowed to say anything about the game lol.
Edit2 - appreciate the sincere critiques. To make a final point I'm not arguing for the game to be easier or to spend less time on bosses. I'm saying, at bottom, that the discrepancy between player responsiveness and enemy speed/action has grown too large. Its a related but separate complaint to 'the game is too hard'. Surely there is way to keep the game challenging but allow the player to feel more responsive to match enemies.
Edit3 - I hate to make another edit but I just thought of a good phrase responding to someone else. I was able to get through ER and SoTE without a ton of trouble from experience playing other souls games and using the tools the game provides. But, I guess here's the takeaway, being able to overcome a challenge does not make that challenge fun or well-designed. A lot of the games challenges are not necessarily hard to overcome but that doesn't make them good. Not sure how else to put it. Thanks for the discussion, its been interesting, even from the people who think I must just suck.
