What defines a great player?
Hello Buddyfighters, today we are here bringing you a slightly different kind of article. We will be discussing some of the traits and characteristics of a good player. These traits are not based on their skill level in the game but as a human being. Without further ado lets begin!
"A great player is not the one who wins his games, but is the one who wins his opponent's respect".
The first and most controversial topic is sportsmanship. In our opinion, a player who wins by Rulesharking or disrespecting their opponents should never be proud of their achievements. Even if you have lost in a very terrible manner such as bad draws or to top draws, be a good sport and offer a handshake and say good game to your opponent. We can assure you the opponent will subconsciously have developed respect for you as a player when you do that. Rulesharking is another way a player can lose all the respect they have. Rulesharking to win is the same as cheating and it shows that your are the most desperate and worst kind of player. If you are really as good as you think you are, you should have confidence in your abilities and not resort to Rulesharking. Examples of Rulesharking can be things like not allowing minor replays that does not affect the game state or things like calling judge for not resting their Buddy when Buddy calling. If you want respect, you must prove that you deserve it.
Second trait is adapting. There have been many cases where a players quits the game because the meta has become stale or the game is lacking skills. Well, if you look at the winners so far in BCS, most of them are repetitive winners and that shows that the game still requires skill. Quitting the game because your favorite deck lacks support or because the game is lacking skills just shows that you are unable to accept changes. A good player will continue to prove himself that he is good regardless of how "bad" the meta is.
The third trait is to not have a high ego level. We have come across players who top once in an event and start to act as though they are the best player in the world. They refuse to take any positive criticism from others and refuse to accept suggestions from others. This causes them to continuously lose and they start to blame the meta for being bad and that the game takes no skill. But the truth of the matter is that they cant bring themselves to accept ideas that are different from theirs. A good player will always have intense discussions and brainstorming with his trusted friends to improve himself.
The fourth trait is being secretive. This is a common trait among many less successful players. Remember the quote "Practice makes perfect"? Some players will think of a new strategy or card and will refuse to reveal it untill the day of the tournament and will realize it does not actually work as well as they thought it would. This is because they were so secretive that they did not have enough testing with people and that resulted in their downfall. A great player will always have a small group of friends whom he tests his decks with and together they can improve as a team. We have gotten great success in our Buddyfight careers when we started sharing our decklists with each other for suggestions.
The last trait is to impart your knowledge to new players. This will immediately make new players look up to you as a person. We as Buddyfighters must grow the community together. By giving advise to new players, we ourselves can learn new things sometimes. A great player will be proud when the player he taught becomes a champion one day. When you become a decent player, stay humble and help others. remember, you also started as a new player and worked your way up. People who helps others tend to be respected more in the community.
With that we can conclude by saying that respecting others and staying humble is more important than actually being good at the game. you can have 20 achievements, but if none of them reflects respect then its the same as not having any. You want to be known as the great player who won many events and be remembered as a player who has impacted many in this game .
