Forming Opinions Question

There are a lot of people on this website that have polar opposite opinions than mine. I want to understand where you find your conviction in your opinions. Many times I will see opinions on here that do not reflect that reality of the situation. I don't want to believe you are on pure copium. I want to believe you've some how based this on evidence that I have yet to see.

For me, it's coaching and player performance.

When I look at an overall record of a team that is doing badly, I see a coaching problem. When I see teams running agent comps and a key agent dies before they use any utility, I see a coaching problem. When I see an entire league trying to answer the same issues with the same solutions, I see a coaching problem.

But when I come to VLR, it's instantly not the coach, it's the players. I want to know how you get to this conclusion.

Is it just that the community is split 50/50 and I'm only seeing one side voiced when the cards are down? Help me out here...

Also... I know you want to do this but please let me know where Icebox is if you don't have an answer to the question above.

i mean like it really depends on the problem.
if the player looks like shit, it's the player.
if the player looks good, but cannot get onto site/retake/get hold of site/etc., it's the coach.

cause nobody on this site applies critical thinking on a day to day basis and are inherently braindead and just spout out their ass without finding reason for their takes

Some points:

• I think viewers tend to "prioritize" what they see, which are the players. Since we don't have full access to the coaches in action and we actually have very little information on their work on the team, it's hard to fully criticize without 90% being pure speculation. It also doesn't help that most don't know how competitive val actually is behind the scenes and how preparation goes

• Most people (me included) don't know enough about the game or doesn't care enough to analyse it in real time and find errors. They would probably find it rewatching vods but doesn't care enough to do that

• Most people simply do not remember recurrent errors that much which makes 90% of the focus on the complaints be micro decisions from the players on real time

this all.makes player-based errors be much more remembered and coaching problem be less since they require a bit more effort to understand
