Major Lost Ark Twitch Streamer Says Stop Bitching and Just Play Better

Streamer Albert “ATK” Kim is among the greatest of his kind when it comes to the Lost Ark. In one of his streams he talked about the western version and also that people should complain less and just play better. We at MeinMMO summarize.

What streamer is this? Korean Twitch streamer Albert “ATK” Kim is one of the biggest streamers on Lost Ark. He has been with us since its release in 2018 and streams the MMORPG several times a week on his channel.

He reaches an average of 2,321 simultaneous viewers and currently has 91,000 followers on the platform. He has also been active on YouTube for years and publishes several videos per week for his almost 50,000 subscribers, which are themed around Lost Ark.

He often focuses on guides and unusual builds for all classes in Lost Ark. He likes to show that a paladin can also do damage or that unusual engravings can work better than many people think.

In one of his streams, he therefore also responded to the criticism of many western players who claim that there are classes in Lost Ark that are simply too weak.

The newest class in the western Lost Ark is the Arcanist. See them in our video:

“There are no weak classes”

What does the streamer say now? During a stream, ATK seems to have had enough of the Western players’ nagging. By the way, he himself continues to act in the Korean version. He accuses fans of the western version of complaining too much and worrying too much about which classes might be underpowered.

Instead he says that there are no weak classes at all and if you feel a class is too weak, you just play it too bad. This is specifically a problem for Western players, according to the streamer.

“Everyone complains a little bit, but in the western version it happens all the time. You know, it’s been said all along that pretty much every class is underpowered. And they don’t realize that this weakness in the class actually comes from playing shit, not from the class itself. And we have to tell them that all the time. “

Community reacts divided, but admits mistakes

What are the players saying about this? A discussion on the subject erupts in the comments below the video, with some players also picking their own noses and admitting mistakes.

• NM Geek writes: “People who always play well are super positive about everything. People who play badly, like me, complain about everything to hide how bad they are. It feels better to be upset about other things than my own incompetence. I should just be more positive, like you.”
• DankeyKang is divided: “All classes are good, with a decent build, that’s a fact. But to pretend all classes are completely balanced and equally good, I don’t know, but that’s really hard.”
• Brian Reynolds just left the game: “You can’t blame the class if you can’t play to its potential. I haven’t found a character that I really like and can do that with, so I just decided to leave Lost Ark. And did it.”
• LazyGuy takes a balanced view: “I don’t think you can pass this on to all players. Some classes are just easier to play than others.”

Of course there are also some voices saying that he is completely wrong and that the classes are very weak. However, there are many who agree with ATK.

New classes every 2 months

What about our classes? Some people comment that the balance of the classes is based on Korea and that there are simply more classes there than in the West. But that doesn’t have to be the case for long, because we get a new class every two months.

The arcanist only appeared with the July update and the next new class in our Lost Ark awaits us in September. If AGS sticks to this rhythm, as announced, we can expect 2 new classes this year.

Since we are currently still missing 5 classes to catch up with Korea, our Lost Ark should be on par with the Korean model in two years at the latest. At that point at the latest, the argument would be invalid – but whether it really works remains to be seen.

how do you see it? Do you play a class yourself and feel like it’s too weak? Or do you agree with ATK that it’s always up to the player and not the class? We look forward to your comments here on MeinMMO.
