So I got into PTCGO from expanded format, and I discovered that my fav card was in fact the Arceus,Dialga, Palkia tag team (Yes I’m sorry 😭🙏). And I was so disappointed that in PTCGL I couldn’t use dragon energy and float stone so the turn one altered creation seemed pretty hopeless to achieve (this was before crispin) So I just started to play standard format instead. But Recently tried Expanded beta for the first time and tested a few ADP decks and ended by making this non meta but sweaty (like actually sweaty AF ) no life ADP deck which got 10+ win streak consistently.
But I’ve just started to experience a few times that going into matches as soon as I place the celestial trio down people just start be spamming the thumbs down button, and the rare matches I’m ReStardED and make dumb play and cost me the game, a few opponents will just be again spamming thumbs down and take extra long to play out their winning turn and just makes me feel so stupid and embarrassed, NOT because of their emotes ( I think it’s completely valid on their part as I’m playing ADP), but because I’m playing the sweatiest fricken deck and I lose, and it’s just like why am l losing playing what was what people consider the most toxic card back in the day against good wholesome decks.
And now I just haven’t picked up the game last few days, not because I’m versing ADP but because I’m PLAYING ADP and facing all this emotional back lash from my opponents (which I still think is completely valid on their part) and makes me feel like I’m the most trashiest player to exist 😭🥲.
Am I just weak? Like what should I tell myself? I don’t want to give up on playing ADP.
