These clicker games seem little more to me than an advanced "fidget spinner". There's really no skill or logic required and there doesn't seem to be much of a goal, other than to amass higher points/cookies/cows or whatever.
- CydeWeys 9y agoThere's quite a bit of skill required. It's actually quite an advanced math problem to figure out optimal strategy; see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClickerHeroes/comments/4rrbpi/math_outsiders_rule_of_thumb/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ClickerHeroes/comments/4rrbpi/math_...

- noncoml 9y ago> There's quite a bit of skill required That's false. Skill is not required. It can help you progress faster, but it is definitely not required.
- CydeWeys 9y agoDoesn't this apply to pretty much everything though? You can partake in any activity without skill, you're just not going to get very far. And I would argue that, since Clicker Heroes has exponential progression (outsiders) on top of exponential progression (ancients), that if you lack skill you're not going to get nearly as far as in any other activity, when measured in absolute terms. My max hero souls per primal boss kill is currently at e132. If you don't know how to optimize ascensions and transcensions properly you're not going to get very far at all, and will make very slow progression even at around e3. That's over one hundred orders of magnitude lower. (Yes, the game is absurd.)
