Outcome Does Not Excuse Bad Play¶

Core rule¶

Winning a fight does not prove the execution was good. Losing a fight does not prove every decision was wrong.

Good review separates outcome from process.

If a zerg wins despite bad habits, those habits become harder to fix. Players say:

"It worked."

But a better enemy may punish the same mistake next time.

If a zerg loses despite a good call, players may blame the wrong thing and abandon useful doctrine.

Layer	Question
Caller macro	Was the movement, terrain, and target decision reasonable?
Role execution	Did each role perform the job needed for the call?
Build / comp fit	Did the formation have tools for the problem?
Roster readiness	Was the strategy within current player skill?
Fight result	What did the scoreboard show after the process?

Do not mix these too quickly.

Instead of:

"We won, so it was fine."

Say:

"We won, but our healers were disconnected and our DPS timing was late. A stronger counter-engage would punish that."

Instead of:

"The comp failed."

Say:

"The comp required faster support and cleaner spread than our roster executed. The failure may be roster skill-fit, not only comp design."
