hey guys today we are taking a look at acog's video about him quitting Summoners or he is a fellow sumur content creator he stream on Twitch very often as well so a lot of you guys might know him and he is officially quitting Summoners as well and a lot of people have been asking me about my opinion on this matter so today we're going to take a look at his video about why he's quitting and I will give my thoughts about it by the way I'm watching as 1.5 speed because my Tik Tok brain need
the thing to be a bit faster uh as you guys saw the title the thumbnail it is true it's not a clickbait I'm quitting the game by the end of the month by the end of the year and uh today I just want to talk a little bit about why I'm doing it what I'll be doing later and just some general things and and answer some questions uh that I've seen people ask me lately on my stream mostly because I I have been talking about it so very similar to jubo he's also quitting by the
end of the year probably after all the events end pretty much trying to write it out till the end of the year to see come to us change the game but I think nothing really changes Summoner so let's be real also before I listen to anything okay just about quitting in general if you manage to quit Summoners War I am very happy for you and I'm not making a joke I'm serious even though this is a hobby a passion that we share if you can actually quit this thing AKA one of the biggest addiction that
you might have it's great this is equivalent to smoking drugs I don't know company game company spend millions of dollars to make you addicted to to game to to Summoners or in general because the more addicted you are the harder for you to quit and the more likely you're going to spend money so if the game is having negative effect on your life please okay please quit the game I'll take a break I don't know whatever you prefer My Stream now basically I'm leaving because I'm not having as much fun anymore playing the game I
think uh the game has gotten really stale and uh yeah I am tired of compos not listening to anything basically and just uh doing what they do everything on their own you know even though they're kind of clueless about many things about the game you know Siege RTA Arena all these contents are very stale the balance patches are almost non-existent every single time the new unit releases are really shipped every time uh when I say really [ __ ] I don't mean the designs and stuff like that it's just the monsters suck right and it
takes ages and ages for stuff to be usable so I don't want to wait anymore okay I don't want to wait anymore uh it's become a waiting simulator and I think a lot of people feel this way and uh I want to have a future I want to try do something okay so so far I don't disagree with anything okay okay I think we can all agree to literally everything that he has said the game is very stale The Siege the r meta is kind of stale and comter seem like they have no communication with
the community whatsoever and they just do their own thing in their own bubble with no road map no plan sharing with community no nothing so they just do whatever the [ __ ] they want and right now the meta is just sad and depressed and he doesn't want to play the game anymore and I think you can agree as well but I think it is pretty much the general feeling for every long running game like let's say League of Legends or Dota 2 or whatever competitive game that you play that has been running for a
long long time there's always going to be that group of player who are very burnt out and very depressed playing the game but they still play the game every single day because it is a habit and it's not even and it's not even a habit out of their own choice the game designer make it so that they play the game so much every day they're so addicted and now it is a habit that they can't break and they [ __ ] hate it and it is even worse for Content creators because we play the game
a bit more than an average player we have to think about the game more often because we want to make content about the game and the more you play the more burnt out you're going to be and you know what's worse playing RTA while people are watching giving you that Direction and how you should play your RTA and all that stuff it will burn you even faster than playing on your own in your pajamas in your bedroom just losing an RTA in silence but now you have to lose give a reaction to it and listen
to the feedback of other people at the same time so I definitely get what he's saying right here but also to say that the game doesn't change it's not really that true because if you compare the game right now to the game at the same time last year for example The Meta last time was probably going to be different The Meta and Siege was probably going to be different it's just that in this game The Meta change very slowly compared to other competitive game for example they are more aggressive with their buff enough because you
have access to all the playable characters like right now I'm really addicted to Marvel Rivals and I can play any character I want and they Nerf above any character that I usually play I can just practice a different character but in Summoner War you don't have access to everything if the only things you have the only LD file you have get nerfed you don't have a choice to play the other good things that they buff you just sit there suck it up and maybe quit I don't know so that's I think that's why they are
very sort of careful with buffing and nerfing unit in the game or they do it very very slowly which will'll piss off a lot of players who one change and one change very quickly in the game because our attention span is [ __ ] right back then for the whole year of 20 2014 2015 you can play with the same [ __ ] M and Summoners on you couldn't give a [ __ ] but nowadays you want meta to change every two months aggressively all the [ __ ] time because now a lot of people
have many good in the game and they just want things to change constantly which is also so I guess it's fine like you want change in your game but I feel like comps can't really do much in a short amount of time and it is what it is if you accept to play this game you accept that meta change very slowly they will change but they will change very slowly moving forward about the part of comto us just do their own thing and doesn't really give a [ __ ] about Community is kind of true
and kind of dong I think most of the time they don't really give a [ __ ] to be they they don't they don't care they do improve the game from time to time with quality of life patches but I think it is because we don't have like a big game changing patch so we just feel like nothing really changed even though quality of life keep getting added into the game this game has one of the best quality of life ever I I think I can say that when I play all the turn based game
that are available in the market I missed the quality of life the ease of changing runes the ease of farming in this game allow me to manage my resources so much better compared to the other things in the other game but then quality up live is like a convenience thing so it's not gamechanging it's not game breaking it doesn't change the way you play the game every day so it feels like nothing really happened and it's kind of true nothing really big happened this year besides just packs and packs and new unit and more new
unit and collab which is just new unit and the new unit are [ __ ] old time which is comto is classic at this point so I agree what he said and I just want to give some extra points in that regard that's going to help grow in the future you know and uh yeah I think with Summers War it's pretty much impossible you know you this kind of a wall that you reach and uh that's it you know uh we have a community that's like not that big right like we all know each other
we're all uh it's a pretty small community right and I know when I switch to whatever else I'm going to do I know many people won't follow you know which is fine there's nothing wrong with it uh you you watch what you enjoy watching and uh yeah I know I'm going to lose a lot of viewership and I'm Not Afraid okay I'm I'm on the other side I'm very um I'm very excited to do something else you know but uh yeah comto has just not been caring too much about anyone's thoughts and uh yeah they
don't care about what players think what the streamers YouTubers think uh this year they didn't even they didn't even like care to fly out some of the very like active um influencers to like their EU cup I personally I know some other people as well but me personally I wasn't invited to the EU cup I wasn't invited to the World Finals I wasn't invited to anything while being one of the most active and uh one of the biggest number-wise um content creators for them right and uh yeah they just don't care you know the fact
that they just completely overlooked so many of the people and for especially for this 10th year anniversary where it's like supposed to be such a big thing and and they're supposed to thank the people for for sticking up with them for such a long time right uh yeah they just completely um ignored right uh many of us influencers and and yeah it's uh it's uh definitely not a company that I look up to and uh it's not really a game that I want to continue making content for you know on the other side like the
the contos guys are very nice like the the I've been in touch with the the EU headquarters like the people that work there they're very nice people like from the marketing and all these guys that do social media and stuff like really cool people you know but it's something that comes from the HQ right allocating money for something like that flying out people and stuff like that uh but yeah if they're not caring about that imagine how much they care about uh us advising them about game changes I mean yeah compto is just a company
that doesn't really care about anyone and uh yeah that's that's another reason why I really don't want to keep making content in the game being really stale um okay for the second reason I think there were two parts to what he was saying the first one being there's no growth in making content for Summoners or which I can kind of agree I think the game has reached a point where there is barely any new player coming into the game which mean no new player searching for beginner guys for example no new player discovering the content
on YouTube it just old people who already know who you are and who come back quit come back all that kind of stuff so there's no real growth for the game the game just kind of declining I think since like 2018 2019 the peak of submersa yeah the the peak of subur content on YouTube as well after that it's just kind of slowly decline personally for me though I have seen growth but not like crazy growth I think I've I've been doing okay I've seen growth from year to year I thought that maybe 2021 was
my highest views year for example but somehow this year the views has been insane but that is because I think of the anniversary the collab and all that kind of stuff but I think personally there's like no future growth for making sub of content just kind of like a flatline a very consistent sort of okay Flatline for me personally not for him though for sure because he's not feeling any growth of doing this which I agree if you really want to grow like super fast you find a new game and you go all in on
that game you'll be the best player in that new game and everyone who start playing that game will watch you regardless of who you are where you start from it doesn't matter you can have zero subscriber but if you are like the best player in that new game then everyone will be watching you everyone will be looking forward to your opinion on all the things in the game and I think if he want to grow he definitely need to find a new game and just go ow in that's pretty much it the second one being
Contours inviting people to events so I was invited so I guess I can't really say much about it because I was invited but listening to that really reminds me of me many many years ago so I was a small Channel back then it was ycb it was childish clay Tano shredded puzzle Island grown all the big names out there I was making content on the side I think I had like 10K sub at some point and I was not invited to [ __ ] I was just sitting at home same exact mentality very salty I
hated it I I hated being The Outsider looking at everybody being invited to all these cool event starting with Mobile Master the first s swc the second S swc I was just sitting at home watching from afar and the worst part is I'm an English speaking content creator I used to live in Singapore I was hitting the two checkbox that ydcb hit which mean if they have to bring somebody from [ __ ] far away there's no way I will ever be in any list whatsoever so I wasn't invited to any of the thing so
I was sad I was salty it's I think I was especially very jealous of like Island grown I think I started first but then Island grown grew so much faster than me and he was in being invited to all the cool events he was casting World Final in Paris and I was just sitting at [Laughter] home and he was in America so flying him to all the cool event was so much cheaper than flying my ass from Asia like who cares about sha B guy right but the good thing for me was that was back
then so the game had so many more years to go so I just kept my head down keep grinding keep working on it and then eventually ydcb start making less sumon of a video Island grown start making Pokemon content shredded puzzle just disappear out of nowhere and boy oh boy my time to shine baby I started going to events and [ __ ] hell yeah I guess you just have to keep making content and then you be big enough that they can't really ignore you that's that's the only way pretty much because it at the
end of the day I think comter doesn't really give a [ __ ] they say they give a [ __ ] but I believe that they don't really give a [ __ ] about who make content about this game there's so many other game there's so many other mobile games that make so much money and they are barely any content creator for that for those kind of game and they still makes so much money I don't think comter really care about like if sha B quit Tomorrow there's going to be another guy that showed up
and F his shoe anyway who cares about that guy I think the people who really care the people who work in the regional office like the EU office the America office they care all right they care about Community they push for the community to be invited to these event the headquarters I'm not too sure but I I know the people at the regional office they they really give a [ __ ] they care but they have a budget and let's say for the EU cup I was there right I was very lucky to be there
to invite my ass to be over there they could invite five other people in the European region so much cheaper but then if someone pushed for me to be there then suddenly H [ __ ] this [ __ ] sha B guy so expensive I guess ao's not going I'm I'm sorry AO probably my fault probably because my ass is so far away anyway it is what it is I was in his shoe I was salty so I kind of get it what I will be doing for the future I will still be streaming okay
and not just like streaming I'm going to go hard okay I'm planning to transition to counter- strike okay if you guys watch counter- strike if you play the game okay for next spot it's not really about Summoners well he just want to make content for Counter Strike he want to go o on that game he really enjoyed playing Counter Strike so if you want to support AOG please follow his new channel or he might post on his current Channel and support him because going into a new territory is very very nerve-wracking is it's scary to
dive into something entirely new and kind of abandon the ship that you has been selling on for so long and it sucks but if you really want to support acop please check out his either new channel that he will announce or follow his current channel for his new content personally I don't think this going to change anything in the community of course there are people who will quit together with acok to move on to the new venture or to just move on from Summoners and a will help them to give them the motivation that they
need to quit the game and I think that's that's fine that's cool if the game once again is leaving negative impact on your life you should break away from you should quit I've seen many of my friends quit this game successfully and I'm very happy for them because they just seem happier than ever they're not concerned about farming every day like a [ __ ] slave they're not concerned about doing RTA getting proc on by ragor or gapu or V Joo they're just do having fun playing other games and just having a blast and that
is very very cool okay if you play this game make sure there's some part of the game that you enjoy so that it is not a total waste of time and it makes you angry every day other than that hope you have a good start to the New Year happy holidays and I'll see you guys in the next video bye-bye
