aoe2:
- reine is actually good at, despite lack of experience (she did better than moona in second tourney, and can win 1vs2 any holoteam if she did 40 minutes study and 2-3 hour practice)
- kino collabs with other hololive members
- game with balanced pace where she can talk, think, manage stuffs, etc on her own rules
- niche genre that would bring good additions to her core audience (sure, there are some backseaters and malding people, but you can say that about any game)
- opens gate for rts games with good story, like starcraft or c&c, that she can play solo without any pressure
valo:
- reine is trash at, despite playing it offstream and trying to learn (she can push rank while keeping botfrag kda, but its her limit, its simply not her type of game and she will eventually realize it. i think she already realized but still in denial, making excuses and thinking that playing it more will allow her to improve)
- zero collabs and clearly zero plans for them, she didnt even add la+ or matsuri to friendlist
collab with kobo is worse than solo stream but thats just a me problem- game with terrible pace where half of time is spent on queue, loading and buying phase, and half of time reine is dead and we look at someone elses pov while she is tilting
- genre made for esports and making money from children buying skins, bringing people who interrupt every single stream with tante p valo
- closes gate for fps games because muscle memory for one game is incompatible with all other games
yeah i would trade whole valo arc for any amount of aoe2 streams
