I had a long post written up that was fairly hateful but in the end, it's not worth it. The fact that you all define a DPs risk/reward being the damage it does vs the damage you get off a CC punish shows to me that you either massively misunderstand what is happening around you, or you're arguing for the sake of it, and further, the fact that no one has acknowledged that I've said in just about every post on this subject that I've made, that I didn't feel DPS were op, or an issue in and of themselves, merely the fact that there was significant margin between the haves and the have nots. But no one argues this, they choose to insult my play and run their mouths, insinuating that I have an issue with DPS because I'm bad. I am bad, and it has zero reason to do with random DPS being a stupid mechanic.
But, in the end, they are changed, so no more scrub crutch I CAN'T THINK SO ILL DP bullshit. Too bad, so sad that that's no longer an issue.
It's less hype when watching tournaments I guess, but it's equivalent to throw loops and the idea that that is a next level amazing mind game when it's not.. it's simply a willful removal of oneself from mind games. It's a conscious decision to say 'the other person is relying on logic and prediction and preset rules to make decisions, I will defeat this by simply denying the inherent mindgame and opting out of it entirely' and this *IS* an intelligent thing to do and it works when used carefully and with restraint.. but it's not a next level thinking 6 steps ahead thing , it's simply not thinking at all and hoping that the purely illogical nature will win out vs the logic at play on the other side. The 'ume-shoryu' is this in a nutshell. Screaming DEE GOD DAMN PEEEEEE in the neutral trying to catch buttons is the same thing.
Shazzy seems to understand the meaning of risk/reward at least.
