WoG Brainstormz # 44 - Mindblown

This recording is all over the place a'la the classic Brainstormz episodes, but I still manage to dig deep. Just took much longer haha

I’m basically clearing my mind after an intense period. The more I keep on talking the more I notice how much this recording helps as a part of my mental regrouping as well as my healing process. I felt as if I was about become sick while recording this as well

• I prefer female Rogues. The female Night Elf looks the absolute best with the best animations for my tast. Not sure which race I’ll use Horde side. The new models really have lessened my options in regards to races I want to play. What’s up with those creepy eyes?  
• This is the single most chill return to a pre patch that I’ve ever had. Ever. There’s so much “you can do” that I’m skipping
• The reasons why I want to main Rogue. Tired of carrying so many sets of gear as a Druid when I min max. As a Rogue all I need is to change weapons and PvP gear. Eventually. Playing on NA gives me a great opportunity to focus a lot more on one class compared to EU where I have a plethora of alts available. How I’ll switch from Rogue if I change my mind 
• Starting out with chillsteps feels so good. It lays a great foundation if I want to go hard later on
• The difference between EU and NA players in general. I have a Rank 1 mindset, but I would never spend the time reaching Rank 1 
• Different pre patch behaviour in Shadowlands because of all the Garbage systems Blizzard implemented. Skipping a ton of "content". New playstyle priorities, PvP plans, Dragonflight choices,
• Testing pre patch before buying the Dragonflight expansion
• Solo Queue is rated. So what does that mean for the future? Solo RBG Queueing? Blizzard chose Solo Shuffle instead of Solo Queueing. The second choice would be so much easier to implement but Blizzard pride, bro. Modern Blizzard = Blizzard 2.0 and forward. Listen to episode # 32 for a breakdown of how Supercell managed to do what Blizzard 2.0 never could.
• How I'd find and add chill PvPers through Solo Shuffling. The Butthurt meta mindset vs the Rank 1 mindset. The Rank 1 mindset is 3 - 10% of the entire playerbase and within that already limited percentage there will be another 3% that push harder than the other 97% within the Rank 1 range. I might delve deeper into this topic about the 1 - 3% mindset at a later date. Time tells, there's no rush
