Combat Mentors - From the view of newish player

[Eien713]

Oh, I was just repeating the usual statement of like watching a guide or whatever many mentors routinely say, instead of being "obligated" to explain fights or whatever.

Googling something is a legit advice. I personally dislike people who don't make an effort themselves and always rely on stuff being handed to them on a silver platter (especially for simple things). All necessary info is out there; you just have to seek it. And if your efforts don't yield results, then asking another person is fair because you've at least done your part. Mentors don't always know everything, and they probably sometimes have to google the answer themselves to give it to others, so why don't said others google it themselves first?

Also, there's absolutely nothing wrong with asking people to watch a guide. I don't understand what you don't get about something visual being way better than simple words or what you have against this particular advice. If people aren't good enough to pick up on mechanics on their own, then watching the fight via a video is the next best thing. Besides, some stuff in later fights is too complicated to explain clearly via text.
