I think mentors are too common now if anything. Everyone I’ve talked to from whatever shit pugs or teams I’ve rung for has gone and found a mentor seemingly just so they can namedrop them to avoid criticism (“yea I know that’s an issue but I’ve been working with my [two divs above mine] mentor on it”/“actually my [two divs above mine] mentor told me it was smart to do that”/etc)
It seems like 95% of people with “mentors” don’t improve at all from it and don’t understand what the point of it is. They just want to get sandblast to waste his time reviewing their demo so they can say they’re getting mentored by an invite scout. I also don’t think anyone who started playing after 2016 actually knows how to just watch their own demos.
