Even with my college professor’s applied calculus chalk teachings, and the use of a T-82, it took a private tutor to comprehend all those equations.

At least one person in each U.S. household is learning to play a video game more efficiently & effectively (possible doing it in anger). So, why can’t I find my own competent personal gaming tutor?

I enjoy watching Twitch, but I need lessons. People who will get mic’d up and show me the ropes when my fingers are on a mouse, not a Mountain Dew.

Say you’re going to pay almost $200 dollars a year on an MMO. Maybe you keep on muting raging players in your new favorite MOBA/Shooter. For me, those multiplayer situations produce an embarrassing loss in time and money. Don’t forget the cost of the gaming apparatus as well. $10 an hour or so for training seems like a value to me. Recording all the info covered in a session could also be made available (got your notes for the day).

Pay to win would take on a new meaning for positive resolve. Competition would expand, so cherry picking the best players would be more difficult for sponsored teams. An increase in “gaming senseis” would also usher in an expanding level of etiquette. Wouldn't less people apply aim bot, or buy black market gold if they just listened and learned from a Master Roshi type player?

When the learning curve is lowered in team based games, consumer loyalty is much greater. Maybe developers can provide hands on learning to reduce the barriers of entry for new games they bring to the market?

Experienced players that help others would reduce their own personal improvement. Or would they? After the first 5 minutes worth of enemy engagement, I can tell if that game is going to waste my time for the next hour. If my time is wasted, I’m frustrated to the point where I’m not gaining any new knowledge. Those scenarios waste everyone’s time.

Another giant red and white mushroom for you veterans would be creating others in your image (hubris issues?). Build your base for competent and motivated players.

I don’t understand why people on Twitch or other gaming venues believe that the buck stops there for player improvement/enjoyment?

I might have to apply my honorable college education to expanding this business model.
