That’s intentional yes
the obvious solution is to make all non-FoL games whisper games a la "ToL"FM and then make there be mechanical penalties for consulting players outside of the game, i.e: curses
this will definitely not be an awful idea
Thats like “hey if you need help we are here for you!”
“Gotcha actually we dont help you”
right, but you don’t communicate outside of the game Unless specifically allowed by the host. that’s why, unless there’s a particular mechanical reason why not (which is only going to happen in my dumb bastard games) i always allow hydra slots in my games
They are there for any mechanical questions and I’d say clarifying abbreviations for instance too.
only hyrdras known to all players, for reference, using either the “both players can post at once” or the “one player posts the other doesn’t” form of hydra
The host helping a player otherwise would be bastard. If I lose against a new player, because I was also playing against the host unbeknownst to me, I’m going to be pissed tbh.
You’re going to be equally lost (if not more, due to time limit) if you boot up ToL for the first time.
I’m sure everyone would happily advice a newbie on their plays postgame

Yep thats why we sometimes use screenshare to teach them while they are playing
Nothing is better than teaching during a game.
Mentor/Mentee shadowhydras being available for all games is the obvious solution, I swear.
