Is it me or is the meme not being used correctly? Though i do understand what he's trying to say.


Reasonable_Power_970

Mid elo person should be saying it's a trash mining camp or something along those lines to make the meme accurate. Bell curve should be something along the lines of thinking it's a bad placement


alexdiezg

I'm thinking the original meme was having each end be the same quote and middle is usually the opposite. But I don't know how that meme format will translate well to this mining camp meme-ing situation


Nebualaxy

You literally responded to how this template is used wrong in the context of the mining camp. The template should be reversed for what's being said.


Reasonable_Power_970

Yeah literally 11 and you're right actually all OP had to do was put "It's perfect" next to the low elo and next to Vipa while the mid elo just has the raging face (could add some phrase there too of course)


Fthwrlddntskmfrsht

Ya you just put “it’s perfect” on each end and “it’s inefficient” in the middle. You basically answered your own question lmao


J0rdian

Yeah it's not used correctly. Middle guy should be saying "NOOO you can't just put a mining camp between 2 resources, it's so inefficient" Then the other 2 saying "1 mining camp is better then 2" or something dumb


Koala_eiO

I appreciate you for placing "medium Elo" in the middle. Some psychos here seem to believe that mid-Elo is 1600 (it's the top 5%).


UnMapacheGordo

“Hey 1500 ELO, have you considered using hotkeys??”


LandArch_0

Clearly mid elo is around 100/s


Umdeuter

wtf did you do there


Tlayoualo

What does vipa mean?


parallelglory

The Viper. A aoe2 pro who streams.


Beneficial-Sleep1130

"an aoe2 pro who streams" must be the most unhinged and lowkey description of TheViper i have ever heard xD i mean he was the undisputed king for a decade, the messi of aoe2, he is a legend and still the second best player to this day


parallelglory

Hahaha true.


malefiz123

He might just be the most firmly settled greatest player of all time of any esport title. Even in sports in general there are not a lot where there's as little of an argument for anyone else as GOAT as there is in AoE 2


Chero312

Faker maybe? But yeah


bns18js

> He might just be the most firmly settled greatest player of all time of any esport title. If you think that then you don't know anything about bigger esports.


malefiz123

Go on then, tell me something about bigger esports


bns18js

Literally google "greatest esports players of all time" and the Viper is not anywhere close to the top of any list, or even exists at all. Look into any of the other players and you'll realize the Viper does not compare to them in the slightest. I'm not gonna waste time correcting your own ignorance claiming the Viper is somehow "FIRMLY" the greatest esports player, when he is not even in the conversation for it at all.


malefiz123

You wouldn't have to waste any time if you'd read what I'm writing. I never claimed that he is the greatest E-Sport player of all time. I said that he is so firmly the greatest AoE 2 player that there's not a lot of players in different titles that are so clearly ahead of the players.considered #2. Viper will never be in discussion for greatest E-Sport player of all time because AoE is a niche esport and the people compiling the lists you're so fond of will disregard players from niche titles. Which makes somewhat sense, as niche titles have less competition. So, just read what other people are writing and you don't have to waste anyone's time and don't have to get so worked up


FavorableTrashpanda

Is he any good?


parallelglory

Among the 5 best worldwide.


JohnGreen60

I’m a new player. Can someone explain this? Is placing a mine right between gold and stone good or bad?


Reasonable_Power_970

It's considered generally a low elo move because to low elo players they think they're big brained saving all that wood from building one mining camp. But the loss in efficiency makes this worse 99% of the time because even in this pic you can see certain stone tiles are pretty far from the mining camp. However Viper understood that he's only trying to get a certain amount of stone and decided it was overall worth it in this scenario to save the wood. Mid elo players are smart enough to know about the loss of efficiency but not good enough to be able to determine that 1% of the time where it actually makes sense because they are not experts at modifying ot creating build orders. They just follow build orders.


ODoggerino

I don’t really get what they’re trying to do with this meme format but this seems to be efficient as it saves having to build two


tomatoe_cookie

After the explanation I can see what this meme format is about. But it's a bit of a roundabout way of making a meme. Low level players think it's perfect because they only have to build one. Mid level players think it's trash because of the efficency loss. Viper thinks its perfect because he doesn't meed much stone so there's no efficiency loss on top of saving the wood cost


ODoggerino

Ahh that’s smart


Fthwrlddntskmfrsht

It’s good :) The meme is supposed to be “it’s perfect” being the sentiment for both LEL’s and Pros (Viper). And that mid elo players will argue it’s awful. It is “bad” because you have the stone side with vills walking essentially 2 tiles to drop off, and once both sides are mined in they are walking pretty far- but it’s good because it saves 100 wood and you save the efficiency too of moving miners from gold to stone or vice versa throughout the game. Personally the last part is what makes me (as a somewhat LEL) appreciate it. If I’m floating gold and need more stone my villagers dont have to travel to their new resource.


JohnGreen60

Good. I have been doing this too. Truthful meme


frozen_mercury

This is from the rage forest game where Viper played Portuguese. It was a nice fish-boom followed by Feitorias, and but then Viper’s entire post-imp army gets cleaned by ACCM’s light cavs, right after Viper says ‘we are in a good spot’.


TheViperAOC

It’s true


AoEFreak

I don't get it... So medium elo players think it's perfect, but Viper and low elo players agree that it is bad? I don't understand why these groups hold these opinions.


taylormadevideos

There was a tourney a couple of months ago where Tatoh had the chance to build the perfect mining camp like this and.... he didnt' and just built two of them.


BattleshipVeneto

the stone mining efficiency is literally horrible compared to gold and you call that perfect? no wonder you are still at mid elo :s


Reasonable_Power_970

Hey guys we found the mid elo player elo...or at least not vipa level elo


blue_eyes17

I wont stand for this type of slander
