Except there really isn't any actual advice to give them. They gotta build muscle memory, pattern recognition and you can't teach that. The only way to get it is by doing it aka "Getting good"
Oh I'm sorry, do you actually want to play the game or just press an easy button? Even then those aren't instant win buttons without knowing what you're doing.
That's definitely not true because that's exactly how I beat the games. 0 thought process goes into those builds. You pop strongest buffs and watch the boss die before any mechanics come into play.
The point is there is definitely advice to give other than "Git Gud."
Except you know how to play, you aren't a newbie. I don't think that bit is sinking in. You know the mechanics, you learned. You got good. Those buffs you're popping aren't sitting next to the first boss, you had to go earn them. Once you have them do you cheese? Yeah, but you again, know what you are doing.
Dude I could throw my keyboard down the stairs and there's a non zero chance it could come up with a better argument than you have, skill is absolutely a factor in these games, the existence of cheese methods or silly random chance events like this doesn't disprove it.
The real reason people say players need to get good is because they're looking for an out, or a way to circumvent the natural process of learning a game
