Archiving my favorite tweet from TheYearIs20BC about this on cohost because Twitter might die any day now
Reasoning:
- Rock comes out frame 1 and is impossible to react to
- Paper has the slowest startup but is the best counter to rock, which is the most common in this meta
- Scissors loses heavily to rock and only beats paper, which is less common than rock
Never play rps with Dave Sirlin
I feel like the answer is yes but also I think most people do not know what their main is and also if you did know it would not be a good idea to tell anyone
every time you play and win with rock they link a 24 page google doc about how scissors is "top tier" and "imba" and winning with rock makes you a "rockface" and they spam pictures of the Thing at you
