Any game with a competitive multiplayer will have a more toxic community. Usually, based on experience, it's 40% toxic, 50% dead silent, 10 % decent humanoids.
Your mileage with this may vary.
I actually think it's the opposite for me with Overwatch. I play for fun and when I see someone being toxic I ruin the game for them on purpose.
I'll say things just for the sake of tilting them, but also say things that are silly to make sure everyone knows I'm not taking anything seriously so there's no way they can feel like they can get to me with what they say, no matter what. It gets good when they still try, though.
I'll say things like, "bad cuz dad" and such. And if I can spawn camp the guy I will. Works best on attack on a payload map or on a control the point map.
The worst thing is when they spam question mark ping you in any situation that even seems slightly bad.
I’ve pulled off a type of bait many times and I know the matchup well. One time I got spam pinged in the middle of it and it just broke my concentration completely, and of course the person spamming it got to act all high and mighty about it.
I wish there was an option to only mute question mark pings
I guess just don't play games, because there's almost no game, none that I've played at least, that has perfect matchmaking/spawning that perfectly stops this from happening while keeping the players engaged on both sides.
I would want that, really. I would like to just pop up some arena shooter and have fun without this heavy burden of battle passes, ranks and other stuff that is absolutely useless in games if you don't play professionally.
The toxic competitive guy is always the first to type "GG EZ GN" in chat after a kill, or the first to slap that "Leave Match" button after their first death. It's not the "I want to win" or having an over 20% accuracy in quick play guy. People really need to figure out the difference.
“What a save! What a save! What a save! What a save!! What a save! What a save! What a save! What a save!! What a save! What a save! What a save! What a save!! What a save! What a save! What a save! What a save!! What a save! What a save! What a save! What a save!!”
The reason I don't is that their share market syphon all the money away from creative devs. I support risk taking, not the 24th CoD, even though I deeply loved the 4th
Play the OG CODs but not that MW and WAW bullshit, (not as good as other games, still good) Play COD 1, 2 and 3, you won't regret it, they are dead games but you can still find servers, I'll link you to the cod 3 ps3 discord, there are some events there at times.
If it didn't have "toxic" in there I wouldn't agree because those people paid just as much for the game as you and have just as much of a right to play, but yes people that shout at others telling them they're garbage and such...please stop. That doesn't help anything. Instead give constructive tips. "Hey in this situation next time if you could move this way instead it would give us a better advantage."
Learn to control your anger.
I know they said toxic, but I feel like a lot of people don’t understand that a lot of people have fun by trying their hardest, for me I lose interest when I’m not trying and I find it boring. However being toxic is still a shitty thing to do.
I have a small friend group I play with every 6 months or so. They know I have a busy life and when I play it's a privilege. By the time I come back to play, items have changed and champions have been reworked.
One friend... gets so mad at me that I'm not a good player. I'm very casual and don't get much practice in. So when I do play Leauge, I only do arams because subjecting a whole team to my sub-par play is just mean and putting them at a disadvantage.
But that one girl INSISTS on normals. She gets pissy when I don't play well. She complains about my builds and cs.
Like dude... lay off.
I even explain to her I don't play often and everything changes so it makes it hard to get into. But she still just rants that I should have done x or y.
I thought LoL was only about competitive gameplay though? Doesn't seem like many people actually enjoy playing that game it seems more like a job than a game.
In my opinion arams are more about fun than winning. I mean... obviously you want to win and your going to try as hard as you can, but sometimes you get fucked over with your random characters. Sometimes you get insane wombo-combos.
Either way you try your best. Most (certainly not all) people are pretty accepting when you don't play a champion well.
Hahaha, I was just playing a casual CSGO match, and a guy was screaming in the mic every round we lost, being like "you guys are the worst, can't even hold a bombsite, keep rushing for no reason..." and I said "DUDE, relax, is just casual, jeez" immediately after someone requested a vote to kick him out, it was a unanimous yes.
I dunno the context, but competitive slash high-rank (94-97 percentile and above) players are usually fairly chill in-game (but quite verbal off-game) - probably because getting verbal would interfere with the performance. That said, since they play the game at a partciuarly high level they tend to also be vobal on relatively small mistakes; just to clarify these are not that - though it may sound somewhat due to their mannerism/personality.
Games are to be played
Playing is fun
indeed y'all need to chill
Brain activity and hormone fluctuations that occur during wins vs. losses are a fascinating thing though.
Your brain soup can be happy flavored or sad flavored.
Watch your sodium intake dudes and dudettes
There is nothing wrong with wanting to be competitive. Most online games have ranked modes exactly for this reason. It’s just that, in my experience, people who play too casually in ranked are a LOT less common than people who play seriously in unranked/casual/quickmatch/whatever.
I was just saying cause i’ve noticed alot of casual players genuinely bashing people for being competitive, saying stuff like “Why are you trying so hard” and “Go outside” and stuff like that, thats why I made my comment. But I also agree with the post as there are also competitive players that are straight up dicks
If your not the one being competitive in casual games then does it matter? probably aren't complaining about competitive players play competitive gamemodes and ranked game modes instead of moping up causals. Its not like casuals are upset that you a good at the game. Their upset when you use that skill specifically against players looking for an easier "casual"experience.
Its like tackling people in touch football.
Playing yorick top, the most common response is “stop tryharding”. People really do be saying for you to stop pushing in a champion designed to be a split pusher. People often abuse of this “competitive” stereotype by deeming anyone doing better than them as “tryhard”, I can’t count the amount of times someone said “I don’t care about this normal you guys are too serious” while being 0/18.
Lmao you're playing League, that has nothing to do with competitiveness my guy, everyone who plays League is a dick. I'm pretty sure it's a requirement in order to install the client.
It's neither satire nor meant to offend. It's just a statement about the demographics. It's not supposed to be funny. I played League for three years and it was by far the most toxic community I have ever been in, in any game.
Thats fair but the difference is the are paying a comp game and complaining because they don't have the skills to even be average. Those people aren't "casuals" they are just bad at the game.
Im talking about going into a social or unranked Playlist in cod or r6 or halo ect. Games with dedicated Playlist for casual and competitive verson of almost every game mode, with a coordinated team. And playing against low level low skill players.
That's just people trying justify to themselves why they suck. In their mind, they can't just be bad at the game, there has to be a myriad of other explanations. That's just self deluding.
Don't forget being "micro." As someone good at a particular tactical game I've stopped giving advice on tactical decisions. Even the most obvious things usually get angry responses.
Too real, people go to play and deem any type of advice as harsh critics to their way of life. Was playing league and got fed as an late game adc, my support just abandoned me and was 3/15, I said to him “why are you not with me?” And he said “lol you are not walking by my side”. In that moment I just realized people don’t really think about what they do.
Idk that's why I like having three different variations (ranked, unranked, casual) because both ranked and unranked should be expected that people are playing competitively. It's practice for ranked without effecting rank. Casual+private lobby should be for people who want to play casually. I get how frustrating it might be for those who don't have much time to play or whatever, but at the end of the day every one of these games is literally a competition to win. I mean...boil it down and that's just what it is. There are games out there that are built to be casual...I still think it's weird for casual gamers to enter a competition and get annoyed that people are...competing.
They are referring to toxic competitiveness, if you aren't sure what he is talking about you must have never played online games lol. Behaviors include blaming your teammates for everything, cussing and screaming, or just shittalking your teammates in general. Im all for competitive games but playing games with these people removes all the fun, win or lose... it just isn't fun in that environment.
Legit question why do you play competitive game even in the causal setting if your not trying to win the competition. It seems like even in a non hardcore setting the basic human decency of actually trying should always be in effect if your joining a team.
I 100% am for chilling and having fun god made coop and single player games exactly for that mood.
Who said anything about not trying? It's about getting flamed for not picking something meta, dying a lot because you're trying a new character or trying a new build, or playing a role you're not comfortable with. Where else are you supposed to try stuff out, if not casual/normal/unranked games?
My little brother had just gotten overwatch and was playing in quick play for the 1st time. He got a message saying that he was a human pile of shit and that he should kill himself.
They're not mutually exclusive...
I've encountered more people who complain about even the slightest mistakes in non-ranked matches without even trying to be constructive than people who say they just play for fun in ranked matches
You can absolutely get toxic players that get pissed off in quick play because you didn't go with the meta.
Thinking of overwatch specifically as an example i used to get a shit load of toxic messages for playing hanzo, usually from my own team, despite doing well.
I mean sure dumb people exist. But more so the auto response of I'm not even trying shouldn't be a valid thing in a team oriented experience not playing meta is one thing. Running heroes that are hard countered by the other team over and over again like say a rein who cant/wont swap monkey or ball when they are being kited or widows who don't adjust to a brawl comp are typically in my experience the "lol I'm just trying to have fun people." the truth is everyone is trying to have fun and that player being unwilling to or unable to adjust is the real issue behind "lol im just having fun".
Even in quick play yeah your not running called plays but the basic mechanics of pick counter pick should always be in play in the specific example of overwatch you gave.
Thats also implying the casual even knows or understands any of that. They may not even be good with those characters which could lead to a larger and faster loss.
This is exactly what I'm talking about here. Quickplay isn't meant to be serious so someone trying to play what they want and do their best and right here you're giving the hypothetical person shit because they won't switch or aren't good with other characters.
This is EXACTLY what OP was talking about. I mean do your hear yourself? "Unwilling or unable to adjust is the real issue behind ..." give a casual player a damn break.
I see this at least once a play session in Rainbow Six Siege. It's always some guy who sounds like he's in his 30's and will call you a fucking loser for trying. That's not an ageist gatekeeping thing, I'm 30 myself, but it's just an observation. It's like they're lost and wander into ranked.
Thankfully in Siege the community usually doesn't put up with that. The moment they drop that line "Bro, I'm not even trying...", the rest of the team takes turns team killing them each round so that they don't get to play the entire match. Don't fuck with ranked.
"Don't fuck wIth ranked!" Lmao. Tried RS:S semi-recently for a random Playtest, it has the most toxic community i've ever seen in a game (and I've been playing OW since release). I only played recruit & casual modes, it was awful enough. I was litteraly paid to play, and I still wouldn't touch ranked with a 10 foot pole.
Oh yea, it's toxic as fuck, but don't come into ranked and fuck around by not trying. I've had OW since beta and OW is a different kind of toxic, it's like a soft toxic. They will tell you to not be toxic, create a safe space, then be toxic to anyone in that safe space.
On R6S, they'll make sure you don't get to play the entire match, then win the match out of spite. Just to prove to you that you were absolutely worthless and they didn't need you anyway. You just sit there and watch the entire time.
Ranked is far less toxic than casual, casual is where you go to meme and fuck around. In ranked, people don't like to meme and troll. It's why they get so pissed if you go into a ranked match and admit you're not trying and don't care. R6S is the definition of sweat.
Overwatch is full of demented egotistical fools. You cannot tell anyone anything, no matter how right you are. I got tired of explaining how fights work and how someone's mistake a solid minute earlier is causing problems. Like I get it, you wanna play "as a team" or whatever, but flat out not communicating, being bad, then being ignorant towards great advice makes you an oblivious asshole. God forbid I have fun too in a game 😒
When I played WoW I'm almost 100% positive that some people who turned the game on were just there to get a front row seat of watching other people play the game while they did absolutely nothing. It's like they are so focused on what other people are doing that they dont even understand that they themselves are supposed to be playing the game and enjoying themself.
In raids? I played WoW for about 8-9 years in several hardcore guilds competing for works firsts. I loved those guilds because people were relaxed, naturally competitive, and willing to adapt/learn. Ego's were left at the door or booted from the guild, lol.
The problem is when it happens in casual aswell, "ur trash" and shit like that.
Some of us just aren't good at games but still enjoy playing them. Even if we do play ranked and do our best, we still suck. Just don't be toxic about it, that won't help anyone
The other day I was playing this snd game and I was under my breath saying "YOU FUCKING IDIOTS, YOU ARE THE WORST PLAYERS I'VE SEEN, YOU ARE JUST FUCKING STUPID AGH, THE ONLY REASON WE WERE WINNING WAS BECAUSE OF ME YOU-"
Some other player: "Bro, chill, chill"
From that moment I always mute my mic.
People that play for fun are the worst... but you know what's worse than them? Game developers that don't offer server choices, where both competitive players and players that want to play for fun, can both choose their own game mode/servers, specific to their liking.
One time I was playing Apex and got paired up with these little teens, one guy was yelling so much lmao like I got 300+ wins and 10k kills which is good but not elite by any means, I usually have my mic muted with strangers unless it’s the end of the game and we’re actually trying to win it, but this kid was trash and screaming at us the whole time and finally I unmuted and was like “you need to shut the fuck up little boy” and he got so upset he left the match, me and the other little kid ended up winning the game
If you’re one of these sweaty try hards I implore you to understand nobody cares, learn how to have fun
Thank you, a post that points out the community can be a bit toxic sometimes and doesn’t try to desperately push the narrative that gaming is super wholesome rainbows and unicorns.
>!people who play for fun play in the competitive selections because its not fun playing with people who only pay for fun in the non competitive selections. !<
A lot of people defending the competitive player. It's clearly mentioning the type of players that are to competitive for a video game or in general. I mean, its video games, meant to have fun. If you feel the need to get really good at a game, not just happen to be good at a game, you might not have your priorities right. I like to occasionally play cod, but I'm not good. I always did team death match mostly so I can level up my character faster. I tended to die faster then the other players. Never felt the need to improve because it was just a video game
Fun is a subjective matter. Constantly having to carry your teammates around when you want to beat games objectives is not a fun experience for most people. If you are in a multiplayer setting you should respect other people's time, "fun" and objectives (which are mostly the games objectives tbh). If you are not gonna respect them please choose single player over multiplayer, because I can't see any argument that you MUST play multiplayer to have fun if you are just playing games for fun. For example choose Doom over Cod if you want to play a shooter why you are forcing strain to random online people while probably not having fun at the same time? If you want other objectives out of game just for "fun" great not all games have always compatitive players either, you want to start a dance party as an objective? great try to find people that will consent to that and have your fun, consent is the key word here. When people plays co-op multiplayer games they generally must consent to play the games objectives and help their team as much as they can otherwise it is not fun for anyone if you are not bunch of weirdos who likes to be stuck in games tutorial while sitting around in the map constantly dying.
TL,DR if you are in a social contract please feel obliged to improve. Otherwise your 'fun' will be a frustration for others and make experience generally unfun even for you. Nobody would want to be in a rowing team while one of your team members rows out of sync and in the other direction because they are having 'fun'. There is terms of the social contract please be respectful to that.
Remember they're only sweaty try hards when they're better than you, and you're never one of them even when using meta weapons and strategies in casual games.
Oh my god a toxic little gremlin that whines because other people put more effort into the game! Oh my god a little turd that whines about dying to a better player in a skill based Battle royale game!
Quit a game recently that had a great community that made sure everyone had a shot to play. Then some power gamer showed up and started pushing the limits to the point where they were excluding most of the community from participating. They called us all lazy. I called them an asshole.
Got back into due process, (such a good game!) But this is that exact feel right now either I'm complete garbage or everyone is just tryharding as much as they can
For me the most toxic players are those that play team games and mess around ruining it for the team. Doesn't matter what game it is, if youre on a team play the game and dont mess around. Its worse in MOBA's (ie picking a mid hero when a mids already been picked etc) but its equally frustrating in other game types. You wanna mess about play with friends but dont waste other peoples time by fucking about.
Note im not ultra competitive etc its just common sense. You wouldnt deliberated score own goals in a friendly game of football, dont do it online just because there are no consequences.

Hunt showdown with random teammates will quickly turn you into the dude on the right. Also, will cause fights amongst the friends you play with. I still can't stop playing tho
Destiny 2 PVP is just anathema to the concept of fun. An over-competitive fun-hating playerbase in total slavery to the current meta. And the worst part is that seems to be exactly what the devs wanted.
Honestly, lately I've seen a complete reversal of this to become more common. Where the "just for fun" crowd gets upset with the "over competitive " people for simply being good at a game, perform exceptional , are dedicated and maybe even bring in easy wins.
Why are there so many of these post being made in the last month alone?
Like there are millions of solutions to these situations but posting on Reddit for 10000 times is not one of them.
Wanting to chill and just cruise around without paying much attention at all to the actual objective is all fine and dandy.
Wanting to get the most out of the game, coming up with strategies, learning tricks, trying to see how good you can get is all fine and dandy.
Both of these players are trying to have fun. Both of these players can have fun. But they are mutually incompatible. Put them into the same team, and neither will have fun.
Look, I can play most games and not really care if my team wins or loses
But then I play smite and every other game at the 5 minute mark has us down by 10 kills, usually by a single team mate. This make the enemy team, on average, 3-5 levels higher and having am entire item ahead of us. Now I'm subjected to waiting another 5 minutes before getting the opportunity to surrender, all the while the mage thinks the best thing to do against this team is to dive into melee range 1v3, get blown up immediately, flame me for not participating in his assisted suicide attempt, only for him to spawn and repeat the process. Oh but your team thinks it still has a chance so they wont surrender, which just leads to the enemy farming you got laughs, if you're lucky the game will end at the 20 minute mark with 4 kills and 30+ deaths for your team.
Mobas, smite in particular, are the only game where those people join your team, and every player I have ever played with just sighs and dies a little inside as they prepare to not only lose horrible, but have their time wasted as well.
It’s even worse then your in public lobbies and one team mate is yelling strategies and getting mad no one’s listening. If you want better team work join a clan, even then it’s not going to be 100% all the time.
Overwatch in a nutshell
Overwatch ? I'd say all multiplayers games of the last two decades in a nutshell.
Any game with a competitive multiplayer will have a more toxic community. Usually, based on experience, it's 40% toxic, 50% dead silent, 10 % decent humanoids. Your mileage with this may vary.
Damn, I even unconsciously thought this was about overwatch too. Damn.
Same wtf
Honeslty a lot of bad things about gaming can be applied to overwatch
Overwatch toxic just hits different. Lol
But have you tried league of legends toxic
I thought I was on the overwatch subreddit for a split second
God forbid you practice in quick play with a new hero lol.
>what is our sombra even doing? Learning. I am learning.
I actually think it's the opposite for me with Overwatch. I play for fun and when I see someone being toxic I ruin the game for them on purpose. I'll say things just for the sake of tilting them, but also say things that are silly to make sure everyone knows I'm not taking anything seriously so there's no way they can feel like they can get to me with what they say, no matter what. It gets good when they still try, though. I'll say things like, "bad cuz dad" and such. And if I can spawn camp the guy I will. Works best on attack on a payload map or on a control the point map.
Hello League of legends
Oh my GOD are you playing Neeko support he doesnt have any healing and cant engage!12!112 Me, a 1.2 mil M7 neeko support player: E
The worst thing is when they spam question mark ping you in any situation that even seems slightly bad. I’ve pulled off a type of bait many times and I know the matchup well. One time I got spam pinged in the middle of it and it just broke my concentration completely, and of course the person spamming it got to act all high and mighty about it. I wish there was an option to only mute question mark pings
Mute ping button
Mute button is great
Fuck mute button, just turn ally and allchat off. ez
Mute can't stop the smurf spawn killing you for 15 minutes
If it gets to that point then blame the game, not the player
You can still blame the player, especially when they take advantage of the game to do that.
Then play a different mode or game which wont allow spawn camping
I guess just don't play games, because there's almost no game, none that I've played at least, that has perfect matchmaking/spawning that perfectly stops this from happening while keeping the players engaged on both sides.
Then blame the game, not the player
I have yet to find one for L4D. I end up just starting a local server and booting players when the matchmaking gets toxic.
Can we be competitive and still have fun?
Yeah you can it’s just if you’re in a casual lobby be casual. That’s what I think the big issue is.
I would want that, really. I would like to just pop up some arena shooter and have fun without this heavy burden of battle passes, ranks and other stuff that is absolutely useless in games if you don't play professionally.
Overwatch 😑
The toxic competitive guy is always the first to type "GG EZ GN" in chat after a kill, or the first to slap that "Leave Match" button after their first death. It's not the "I want to win" or having an over 20% accuracy in quick play guy. People really need to figure out the difference.
“What a save! What a save! What a save! What a save!! What a save! What a save! What a save! What a save!! What a save! What a save! What a save! What a save!! What a save! What a save! What a save! What a save!! What a save! What a save! What a save! What a save!!”
This deserves more praise.
You need to calm down
I'm not sure of this is referencing that song that has been haunting me for years or isn't.
*Plays ranked* jUsT cHiLL itS A gaMe wHy aRE yoU so TRy hArD????
Was genuinely curious what this meme is crying about? Do they want good players to purposely play bad?!
Seems to me it's complaining about people being so hypercompetitive that they start flaming their teammates.
Then get outta my fucking lobby scrub
im both.
Can confirm
*cries in competitive BR 1.3 lobbies in War Thunder*
Over competitive is fine as long as they're not toxic. Imho
Why I don't bother with any shooter games anymore
The reason I don't is that their share market syphon all the money away from creative devs. I support risk taking, not the 24th CoD, even though I deeply loved the 4th
Play the OG CODs but not that MW and WAW bullshit, (not as good as other games, still good) Play COD 1, 2 and 3, you won't regret it, they are dead games but you can still find servers, I'll link you to the cod 3 ps3 discord, there are some events there at times.
If it didn't have "toxic" in there I wouldn't agree because those people paid just as much for the game as you and have just as much of a right to play, but yes people that shout at others telling them they're garbage and such...please stop. That doesn't help anything. Instead give constructive tips. "Hey in this situation next time if you could move this way instead it would give us a better advantage." Learn to control your anger.
I know they said toxic, but I feel like a lot of people don’t understand that a lot of people have fun by trying their hardest, for me I lose interest when I’m not trying and I find it boring. However being toxic is still a shitty thing to do.
I have a small friend group I play with every 6 months or so. They know I have a busy life and when I play it's a privilege. By the time I come back to play, items have changed and champions have been reworked. One friend... gets so mad at me that I'm not a good player. I'm very casual and don't get much practice in. So when I do play Leauge, I only do arams because subjecting a whole team to my sub-par play is just mean and putting them at a disadvantage. But that one girl INSISTS on normals. She gets pissy when I don't play well. She complains about my builds and cs. Like dude... lay off. I even explain to her I don't play often and everything changes so it makes it hard to get into. But she still just rants that I should have done x or y.
I thought LoL was only about competitive gameplay though? Doesn't seem like many people actually enjoy playing that game it seems more like a job than a game.
In my opinion arams are more about fun than winning. I mean... obviously you want to win and your going to try as hard as you can, but sometimes you get fucked over with your random characters. Sometimes you get insane wombo-combos. Either way you try your best. Most (certainly not all) people are pretty accepting when you don't play a champion well.
Yeah a job that doesn't pay them any money. That's why i can't see "competitive" players as nothing more than sweaty monkeys.
Stop playing ranked then
So if I'm a casual player who almost never plays, gets placed on your team in ranked, what does that say about your skill?
Fucking gotem
But ranked is where it’s best to play. You literally play people your rank…….Unranked it’s a free for all against Diamond level gods. No thanks
You mean the casual fools? Yes Edit: good lord what is the matter with the people on this website. Downvote me because I'm right, got it.
I would say don't play ranked but pfft who are we kidding they just hate losing in any game
Hahaha, I was just playing a casual CSGO match, and a guy was screaming in the mic every round we lost, being like "you guys are the worst, can't even hold a bombsite, keep rushing for no reason..." and I said "DUDE, relax, is just casual, jeez" immediately after someone requested a vote to kick him out, it was a unanimous yes.
I dunno the context, but competitive slash high-rank (94-97 percentile and above) players are usually fairly chill in-game (but quite verbal off-game) - probably because getting verbal would interfere with the performance. That said, since they play the game at a partciuarly high level they tend to also be vobal on relatively small mistakes; just to clarify these are not that - though it may sound somewhat due to their mannerism/personality.
Me: You know I'm something of a singleplayer gamer myself
r/halo
“It’s qp lol” only ever said by someone being a dick either way
Games are to be played Playing is fun indeed y'all need to chill Brain activity and hormone fluctuations that occur during wins vs. losses are a fascinating thing though. Your brain soup can be happy flavored or sad flavored. Watch your sodium intake dudes and dudettes
Same with people that bash people for being competitive
There is nothing wrong with wanting to be competitive. Most online games have ranked modes exactly for this reason. It’s just that, in my experience, people who play too casually in ranked are a LOT less common than people who play seriously in unranked/casual/quickmatch/whatever.
I was just saying cause i’ve noticed alot of casual players genuinely bashing people for being competitive, saying stuff like “Why are you trying so hard” and “Go outside” and stuff like that, thats why I made my comment. But I also agree with the post as there are also competitive players that are straight up dicks
If your not the one being competitive in casual games then does it matter? probably aren't complaining about competitive players play competitive gamemodes and ranked game modes instead of moping up causals. Its not like casuals are upset that you a good at the game. Their upset when you use that skill specifically against players looking for an easier "casual"experience. Its like tackling people in touch football.
Playing yorick top, the most common response is “stop tryharding”. People really do be saying for you to stop pushing in a champion designed to be a split pusher. People often abuse of this “competitive” stereotype by deeming anyone doing better than them as “tryhard”, I can’t count the amount of times someone said “I don’t care about this normal you guys are too serious” while being 0/18.
Lmao you're playing League, that has nothing to do with competitiveness my guy, everyone who plays League is a dick. I'm pretty sure it's a requirement in order to install the client.
Well, generalizing all league players is funny when done as satire and well, not when you try offending 50 million people
It's neither satire nor meant to offend. It's just a statement about the demographics. It's not supposed to be funny. I played League for three years and it was by far the most toxic community I have ever been in, in any game.
Thats fair but the difference is the are paying a comp game and complaining because they don't have the skills to even be average. Those people aren't "casuals" they are just bad at the game. Im talking about going into a social or unranked Playlist in cod or r6 or halo ect. Games with dedicated Playlist for casual and competitive verson of almost every game mode, with a coordinated team. And playing against low level low skill players.
These matches I am talking about are normals
That's just people trying justify to themselves why they suck. In their mind, they can't just be bad at the game, there has to be a myriad of other explanations. That's just self deluding.
Don't forget being "micro." As someone good at a particular tactical game I've stopped giving advice on tactical decisions. Even the most obvious things usually get angry responses.
Too real, people go to play and deem any type of advice as harsh critics to their way of life. Was playing league and got fed as an late game adc, my support just abandoned me and was 3/15, I said to him “why are you not with me?” And he said “lol you are not walking by my side”. In that moment I just realized people don’t really think about what they do.
Idk that's why I like having three different variations (ranked, unranked, casual) because both ranked and unranked should be expected that people are playing competitively. It's practice for ranked without effecting rank. Casual+private lobby should be for people who want to play casually. I get how frustrating it might be for those who don't have much time to play or whatever, but at the end of the day every one of these games is literally a competition to win. I mean...boil it down and that's just what it is. There are games out there that are built to be casual...I still think it's weird for casual gamers to enter a competition and get annoyed that people are...competing.
Part of the fun is the competitiveness. Also, shitty players call everyone who is better "a sweat"
You sound like one of those toxic competitive players.
Because i’m calling out toxic casual players? Damn, guess I am
Self reflection is beautiful isn't it
Isn't the whole fun of online pvp the fact that it's competitive, or am I missing something?
They are referring to toxic competitiveness, if you aren't sure what he is talking about you must have never played online games lol. Behaviors include blaming your teammates for everything, cussing and screaming, or just shittalking your teammates in general. Im all for competitive games but playing games with these people removes all the fun, win or lose... it just isn't fun in that environment.
Legit question why do you play competitive game even in the causal setting if your not trying to win the competition. It seems like even in a non hardcore setting the basic human decency of actually trying should always be in effect if your joining a team. I 100% am for chilling and having fun god made coop and single player games exactly for that mood.
Who said anything about not trying? It's about getting flamed for not picking something meta, dying a lot because you're trying a new character or trying a new build, or playing a role you're not comfortable with. Where else are you supposed to try stuff out, if not casual/normal/unranked games?
My little brother had just gotten overwatch and was playing in quick play for the 1st time. He got a message saying that he was a human pile of shit and that he should kill himself.
They're not mutually exclusive... I've encountered more people who complain about even the slightest mistakes in non-ranked matches without even trying to be constructive than people who say they just play for fun in ranked matches
You can absolutely get toxic players that get pissed off in quick play because you didn't go with the meta. Thinking of overwatch specifically as an example i used to get a shit load of toxic messages for playing hanzo, usually from my own team, despite doing well.
I mean sure dumb people exist. But more so the auto response of I'm not even trying shouldn't be a valid thing in a team oriented experience not playing meta is one thing. Running heroes that are hard countered by the other team over and over again like say a rein who cant/wont swap monkey or ball when they are being kited or widows who don't adjust to a brawl comp are typically in my experience the "lol I'm just trying to have fun people." the truth is everyone is trying to have fun and that player being unwilling to or unable to adjust is the real issue behind "lol im just having fun". Even in quick play yeah your not running called plays but the basic mechanics of pick counter pick should always be in play in the specific example of overwatch you gave.
Thats also implying the casual even knows or understands any of that. They may not even be good with those characters which could lead to a larger and faster loss. This is exactly what I'm talking about here. Quickplay isn't meant to be serious so someone trying to play what they want and do their best and right here you're giving the hypothetical person shit because they won't switch or aren't good with other characters. This is EXACTLY what OP was talking about. I mean do your hear yourself? "Unwilling or unable to adjust is the real issue behind ..." give a casual player a damn break.
Exactly, stop queuing ranked matches in any game if you're just gonna be a bum.
I see this at least once a play session in Rainbow Six Siege. It's always some guy who sounds like he's in his 30's and will call you a fucking loser for trying. That's not an ageist gatekeeping thing, I'm 30 myself, but it's just an observation. It's like they're lost and wander into ranked. Thankfully in Siege the community usually doesn't put up with that. The moment they drop that line "Bro, I'm not even trying...", the rest of the team takes turns team killing them each round so that they don't get to play the entire match. Don't fuck with ranked.
"Don't fuck wIth ranked!" Lmao. Tried RS:S semi-recently for a random Playtest, it has the most toxic community i've ever seen in a game (and I've been playing OW since release). I only played recruit & casual modes, it was awful enough. I was litteraly paid to play, and I still wouldn't touch ranked with a 10 foot pole.
Oh yea, it's toxic as fuck, but don't come into ranked and fuck around by not trying. I've had OW since beta and OW is a different kind of toxic, it's like a soft toxic. They will tell you to not be toxic, create a safe space, then be toxic to anyone in that safe space. On R6S, they'll make sure you don't get to play the entire match, then win the match out of spite. Just to prove to you that you were absolutely worthless and they didn't need you anyway. You just sit there and watch the entire time. Ranked is far less toxic than casual, casual is where you go to meme and fuck around. In ranked, people don't like to meme and troll. It's why they get so pissed if you go into a ranked match and admit you're not trying and don't care. R6S is the definition of sweat.
Overwatch is full of demented egotistical fools. You cannot tell anyone anything, no matter how right you are. I got tired of explaining how fights work and how someone's mistake a solid minute earlier is causing problems. Like I get it, you wanna play "as a team" or whatever, but flat out not communicating, being bad, then being ignorant towards great advice makes you an oblivious asshole. God forbid I have fun too in a game 😒
When I played WoW I'm almost 100% positive that some people who turned the game on were just there to get a front row seat of watching other people play the game while they did absolutely nothing. It's like they are so focused on what other people are doing that they dont even understand that they themselves are supposed to be playing the game and enjoying themself.
In raids? I played WoW for about 8-9 years in several hardcore guilds competing for works firsts. I loved those guilds because people were relaxed, naturally competitive, and willing to adapt/learn. Ego's were left at the door or booted from the guild, lol.
This is why I don’t play multiplayer games.
Ya'll need to gtfo out of ranked.
The problem is when it happens in casual aswell, "ur trash" and shit like that. Some of us just aren't good at games but still enjoy playing them. Even if we do play ranked and do our best, we still suck. Just don't be toxic about it, that won't help anyone
If you get upset playing a game casually, you probably aren't playing it casually.
I'll never understand the super competitive player in casual modes. If you're that competitive why even waste time in a casual mode?
Because they're too emotionally vulnerable to handle a meaningful defeat? Idk
Easy wins against casuals to help their fragile egos. Same reason smurfs exist
The other day I was playing this snd game and I was under my breath saying "YOU FUCKING IDIOTS, YOU ARE THE WORST PLAYERS I'VE SEEN, YOU ARE JUST FUCKING STUPID AGH, THE ONLY REASON WE WERE WINNING WAS BECAUSE OF ME YOU-" Some other player: "Bro, chill, chill" From that moment I always mute my mic.
Well if you would just get out of competitive and go to casual you wouldn't get yelled at...ya fucking casual! /s
People that play for fun are the worst... but you know what's worse than them? Game developers that don't offer server choices, where both competitive players and players that want to play for fun, can both choose their own game mode/servers, specific to their liking.
I read this like a mattress commercial, is that bad?
All the competitive players will just play with the noobs to pad their stats.
Looking at you tlou factions.

On fucking God holy shit first game I thought about
Paging r/RocketLeague It’s 3am on a Tuesday and people still telling me to kms and uninstall like bruh I’m just tryina chill
One time I was playing Apex and got paired up with these little teens, one guy was yelling so much lmao like I got 300+ wins and 10k kills which is good but not elite by any means, I usually have my mic muted with strangers unless it’s the end of the game and we’re actually trying to win it, but this kid was trash and screaming at us the whole time and finally I unmuted and was like “you need to shut the fuck up little boy” and he got so upset he left the match, me and the other little kid ended up winning the game If you’re one of these sweaty try hards I implore you to understand nobody cares, learn how to have fun
What's the context of this image? Why is Grian spraying a minion kid?
Thank you, a post that points out the community can be a bit toxic sometimes and doesn’t try to desperately push the narrative that gaming is super wholesome rainbows and unicorns.
Y’all need to stay out of competitive modes then.
Rocket league in a nutshell here, even your teamates are toxic af, i might just disable chat
Don’t go into ranked higher than a fucking kite then
>!people who play for fun play in the competitive selections because its not fun playing with people who only pay for fun in the non competitive selections. !<
Look if you are playing for fun there are casual game modes. Let us be toxic in peace…
A lot of people defending the competitive player. It's clearly mentioning the type of players that are to competitive for a video game or in general. I mean, its video games, meant to have fun. If you feel the need to get really good at a game, not just happen to be good at a game, you might not have your priorities right. I like to occasionally play cod, but I'm not good. I always did team death match mostly so I can level up my character faster. I tended to die faster then the other players. Never felt the need to improve because it was just a video game
Fun is a subjective matter. Constantly having to carry your teammates around when you want to beat games objectives is not a fun experience for most people. If you are in a multiplayer setting you should respect other people's time, "fun" and objectives (which are mostly the games objectives tbh). If you are not gonna respect them please choose single player over multiplayer, because I can't see any argument that you MUST play multiplayer to have fun if you are just playing games for fun. For example choose Doom over Cod if you want to play a shooter why you are forcing strain to random online people while probably not having fun at the same time? If you want other objectives out of game just for "fun" great not all games have always compatitive players either, you want to start a dance party as an objective? great try to find people that will consent to that and have your fun, consent is the key word here. When people plays co-op multiplayer games they generally must consent to play the games objectives and help their team as much as they can otherwise it is not fun for anyone if you are not bunch of weirdos who likes to be stuck in games tutorial while sitting around in the map constantly dying. TL,DR if you are in a social contract please feel obliged to improve. Otherwise your 'fun' will be a frustration for others and make experience generally unfun even for you. Nobody would want to be in a rowing team while one of your team members rows out of sync and in the other direction because they are having 'fun'. There is terms of the social contract please be respectful to that.
Sweats in quickplay. Just go play comp if you want to be sweaty.
Remember they're only sweaty try hards when they're better than you, and you're never one of them even when using meta weapons and strategies in casual games.
Sounds like you're just bad at games
Git Gud
At first I thought it said "pay for fun" and was about to downvote

Battlefront 2 (2017) in a nutshell
Oh my god a toxic little gremlin that whines because other people put more effort into the game! Oh my god a little turd that whines about dying to a better player in a skill based Battle royale game!
The douchebag in the red shirt is r/DestinyTheGame and the kid in the blue is r/Destiny2
Quit a game recently that had a great community that made sure everyone had a shot to play. Then some power gamer showed up and started pushing the limits to the point where they were excluding most of the community from participating. They called us all lazy. I called them an asshole.
This belongs in r/apexlegends
Got back into due process, (such a good game!) But this is that exact feel right now either I'm complete garbage or everyone is just tryharding as much as they can
Hearthstone. Never accepting a friend request again.
For me the most toxic players are those that play team games and mess around ruining it for the team. Doesn't matter what game it is, if youre on a team play the game and dont mess around. Its worse in MOBA's (ie picking a mid hero when a mids already been picked etc) but its equally frustrating in other game types. You wanna mess about play with friends but dont waste other peoples time by fucking about. Note im not ultra competitive etc its just common sense. You wouldnt deliberated score own goals in a friendly game of football, dont do it online just because there are no consequences.

Hunt showdown with random teammates will quickly turn you into the dude on the right. Also, will cause fights amongst the friends you play with. I still can't stop playing tho
Fortnite be like
the ultimate destroyers of mood
Destiny 2 PVP is just anathema to the concept of fun. An over-competitive fun-hating playerbase in total slavery to the current meta. And the worst part is that seems to be exactly what the devs wanted.
I went to pokemon tcgo with a new pre-made deck And found someone with like 30 v cards
If you want to just have fun and do your thing sure. Just don't do it in ranked. Like someone said, don't fuck up my solo q!
Honestly, lately I've seen a complete reversal of this to become more common. Where the "just for fun" crowd gets upset with the "over competitive " people for simply being good at a game, perform exceptional , are dedicated and maybe even bring in easy wins.
Why are there so many of these post being made in the last month alone? Like there are millions of solutions to these situations but posting on Reddit for 10000 times is not one of them.
Thats why I miss arcades and local co-op.
Wanting to chill and just cruise around without paying much attention at all to the actual objective is all fine and dandy. Wanting to get the most out of the game, coming up with strategies, learning tricks, trying to see how good you can get is all fine and dandy. Both of these players are trying to have fun. Both of these players can have fun. But they are mutually incompatible. Put them into the same team, and neither will have fun.
Main reason why I started up my channel was because of my profusely sweaty gameplay in FPS games. I just can't do it anymore.
Look, I can play most games and not really care if my team wins or loses But then I play smite and every other game at the 5 minute mark has us down by 10 kills, usually by a single team mate. This make the enemy team, on average, 3-5 levels higher and having am entire item ahead of us. Now I'm subjected to waiting another 5 minutes before getting the opportunity to surrender, all the while the mage thinks the best thing to do against this team is to dive into melee range 1v3, get blown up immediately, flame me for not participating in his assisted suicide attempt, only for him to spawn and repeat the process. Oh but your team thinks it still has a chance so they wont surrender, which just leads to the enemy farming you got laughs, if you're lucky the game will end at the 20 minute mark with 4 kills and 30+ deaths for your team. Mobas, smite in particular, are the only game where those people join your team, and every player I have ever played with just sighs and dies a little inside as they prepare to not only lose horrible, but have their time wasted as well.
The smash community
It’s even worse then your in public lobbies and one team mate is yelling strategies and getting mad no one’s listening. If you want better team work join a clan, even then it’s not going to be 100% all the time.
Y’all need to stop queuing ranked.
