Why do pros hate on lightning boosts?
I myself am a big fan of lightning boost but absolutely hate the standard that most of high rank people use. I get that it's purely personal preference but I was watching a video featuring pro league players from Sunless I think and they were just trashing on a dude just for using that boost. It's kinda cheap, looks good and makes a nice sound. So what's the issue with it?

I hate people that use it too. Only because they are too dumb to mix the colors right. But that's not a problem of the boost but the combination of the boost with another stuff

if you think that the boost can be used correctly, you may have just created yourself a new enemy for life

I use it as my main boost and own almost every color of it. And I can guarantee I have better looking car than 85% of people I meet in matchmaking

Standard is simpler and cleaner. Thats why proplayers use it.

lightning boost is bad? My entire SHAZAM octane thrives on that boost. They will just have to tolerate my electric flow lol. I would like some alternate colors though at some point :)

People jump on bandwagons.
As iH so perfectly illustrated, sometimes the people that jump on bandwagons have absolutely zero clue why.
If you like the lightning boosts, keep enjoying them.
Yours is the only opinion that matters when it comes to your tastes.

To be your enemy I would have to care one way or another about your opinion.
You've already illustrated that yours isn't one worth caring about.
