i never implied that it's a "long term boom" to the win rate. i just dont think its that big of a deal if 1) you are fine/happy to participate in straddling if people want to or 2) you just occasionally throw it out for either image purposes or to just show some of the action players that you aren't nitting it up 24/7.
i just dont understand why every time there is a HH here with hero straddling
the first 5 comments are always "why the hell are we straddling?" people in this forum have to act like OP killed a child
in some games/environments/rooms it is GREAT for the game to be willing to straddle. maybe not yours GG because you always just talk about how your games are different. but like i said, we dont need to act like someone is committing a crime because they straddled
