  • Reactions differ across ranks, with higher levels showing indifference to Odin play.
  • Perceptions of ‘cringe’ behavior reveal underlying issues of skill and communication.

Odin and the Mumbai Server

When the original poster, Primary-Job-490, shared their experiences of using Odin on the Mumbai server, reactions were mixed. Indian players allegedly reacted with fear and panic, accusing the OP of employing illegal advantages.

Community Perspectives

The community response varied, with some attributing the issue to low skill levels rather than nationality. Users like Glitchy13 emphasized that the problem lies in lower ELOs, not race, calling out the original poster for misconstruing the situation.

Rank-Based Reactions

As revealed by comments from LONEWOLF7144 and others, the stigma against Odin play seems more prevalent in lower ranks like silver and gold, highlighting a disconnect between casual and competitive mindsets.
