I remember picking up a strategy that everyone was hyped about a few months back. Looked solid when I first saw it, but by the time I tried, it felt useless. Opponents already knew the counters and I just kept losing. Honestly, it stung because I thought I was following a “proven” plan. Has anyone else noticed how quickly a winning tactic can turn into a losing one just because the timing is off???

It reminds me of trends in other hobbies. A workout routine that looks unbeatable one season might be outdated once new research comes out. Same thing with investing — yesterday’s winning formula can burn cash today. It’s a reminder that timing and adaptability matter way more than just repeating what once worked.
Totally, I fell into that trap too. I learned a build that used to dominate, but by the time I mastered it, an update changed everything. What felt strong before turned into wasted effort. There’s a great piece about this at https://markmeets.com/posts/why-following-big-winners-strategies-in-gaming-usually-backfires/ — it explains how gaming environments shift so fast that strategies can become obsolete overnight. Since then, I’ve stopped chasing trends and started focusing on adaptable skills instead of short-lived tricks. That shift alone saved me a lot of money.
