I agree, I really do, YOU ARE RIGHT, but I know how my mind works and if I pigeonhole myself into one single character.. I dunno, it just doesn't work. I get frustrated and I feel like.. hemmed in? I know that sounds dumb, but its why I've always struggled to find and stick to one character. I want to give myself two characters - Swamp doesn't really count, hes just for when I want to be stupid.. Like poking after -13.. cough - so I can move around some between them if I feel frustrated or just need a small break from failing to flight cancel and screaming at my cats lol.
And you're right, I dont need to try and win. I just need to try hard enough to interest the person Im playing. The way I learn is by focusing on one aspect at a time, heavily, to the detriment of most others. I stick with that aspect a while and move on, and as I do the little pieces sort of fold in to my game and become more natural. The downside to this is that when I'm focusing on, say, AAing and converting off it or something, I'm not clashing or using interactables, or playing other aspects of the game, and that can kinda frustrate and piss off your opponent, unless they are there under the express understanding that I'm up to something specific.
