Social Movement Theory and GG
So I have been thinking on the GG issue and how the issue came about. The first is how a key communicator, ahnold was mobilizing the players using somewhat universal grievance, that of Revan dominati...
Forum Discussion
I think I understand you, although I may not. In short, the problem is Revan, not GG.
In long, I think it was something like this:
1. Lots of people like GG and wanted him reworked.
2. A person with a channel wanted it a lot too (nothing wong with this).
3. In Background, one of most OP metas in game with Revan.
4. It is suggested that GG is a counter to said meta (nothing wrong with this as he can beat him).
5. Youtubers are passionate and post videos (nothing wrong with this).
6. Fans get expectectations even more than normal (this is where things start going south).
7. GG rework is released. He can beat Revan, but can't guarantee #1 on auto when they put their C team mods on their 4* g10 characters.
8. Normal amount of complaining ensues. Forum goes to 9 on irrational scale.
9. But there is extra amount of whining also because of extra hype. Forum goes to 10 on irrational scale.
10. People regret spending money and blame it on everyone else but themselves. Gnash teeth, pull hair, threaten to delete/leave/go f2p/complain to their congressman.
11. Life, such as it is on a gaming forum, returns to normal. Forum goes back to the nice normal level of 8 on the irrational scale.
12. Repeat for next release/rework.
