Custom CC Games are way better than Ranked

[Valence]

Like Aravell I've never been especially attracted by scrims and LPs for the very reason of what is described with their gameplay in the OP. I do not find CC oneshots especially engaging, and it already can happen enough in crystal with randoms that I certainly do not wish to see more of this at split seconds all the time. I also feel that custom games are even more sensitive to class and comp meta, which I find frankly repelling if it's just to find the same variation of the same 5 or 6 jobs in both teams all the time because it's the best way to win. CCRC was a good example of this, and it happened in a time where balance was less rough than what it is at release like currently.

However as I said in another thread, I do wish you the best for your efforts and encourage people to join and try it out. Even myself I'm not completely sold on either side and perhaps it could make me less shit at the game. But I also understand the concerns about toxic circle jerks and malders because that's 99% of what i've seen at crystal level on certain discords, and 99.9% of the same crowd seen in old pvpaissa feast channels. I think a bit part of the pvp community really needs to clean its own bed because this is indeed, doing it a lot of harm, especially for all the nice players that try to make it less inbred.

I appreciate the support! But we've already done the job of cleaning our own bed. Of the 10-something communities in, and the 30 teams I run tournaments for, half of them I'd like to have a beer with and the other half I can trust to be normal(ish). There's some catfighting and opinionated jerks for sure, but the majority of the community is great right now.

PvPaissa was a bit before my time, so I don't know what the gig with it is, but every event I've seen "modern" groups host has some good, chill vibes. It's worth being a part of it.
