Yeah… The times someone dismissed me in World of Warships because my win ratio was too bad… Yeah, I’ve been playing the game for ages and was very slow to get better at it, so my stats overall are bad, so what?
Besides, it’s a game. Go get your self esteem somewhere where it matters, not in a fucking video game…
I get it’s a meme, but it should be “Toxic gamers”.
A competitive game, in a competitive mode usually attracts competitive people. These people want to win, are playing to win, etc. This is the enviroment made for that. People complaing in non competitive modes are just toxic people.
But it’s also toxic to enter a competitive mode as a casual, cause a loss for your teammates, then blame it on " I just play to have fun XD".
Bad sportsmanship = toxic
Competition != toxic
Toxic sweaty players are the bane of internet gaming. Can’t beat each other so they go to smurfing. Fuck it up for everyone.
Yup. It’s why the only time I play online games now is with friends or not at all. Even then it’s pretty much just co-op against the game rather than against other players. I only have so much energy for gaming and am willing to spend zero of that energy on toxic nonsense.
Me too. The only two games I have been playing in the last 2 years are insurgency, division 2 and payday 2. All PvE. Fuck competitive players. The little time I have available to play, I want to have fun.
You mean competitive games right? Cause it sounds like you should avoid competitive games and game modes. The competitiveness is the point on of competitive games. Which is fine, not everyone needs to enjoy every game genre/mode. Just don’t think it’s the players fault in your outlined situation.
It’s not just journos that feel that way.
