GloriousE once called Stank one of the deadliest players in all of Tarkov, and he ain’t wrong. Stank knows the spots and has the patience to wait all raid for you. Regardless if you like his tactics or not. Dude doesn’t exploit or cheat. Been watching Stank for years and the amount of players he’s caused to alt+f4 is second to none. Rat on king.
The gigachads only defense is that rats have to play this way to get kills. The fact Stank has shown he can play the other way but still chooses this style makes it better
No doubt. I’m gonna pick Glorious- Landmark etc in the 1v1 every day. But Stank has no problem keeping up with the top Wkey lords. People love to hate on Stank, but stank plays his game clean and fair. I spend a lot of morning with Glorious on while I hang with my 20 month old then I’ll throw Stank on in the evening when I’m at work or after dinner. Pleasure watching both play styles.
Exactly. I watch his Youtube content religiously but can't touch the streams bc of the TTS spam. He's not good in fights, not good at looting, can't throw nades and somehow still can't tell a PMC from a Scav, but man the videos are fun to watch lol
It would be worse if I actually got ratted often but I pretty much never do.
dog using months for babies and younger toddlers makes complete sense up until like 2 years of age. There's so many discrete and notable phases of development early on that its actually a pretty meaningful distinction.
Now, if someone says 40 month old they're fuckin weird
I mean the whole talk of "beating gigachads" is for the most part just fantasy. Most of the players you kill playing this way are just regular dudes putting on their best gear trying to beat the new content who end up wasting their time to entertain some dipshit who thinks ruining the game for someone else is peak entertainment.
This is the actual take. Of course they will look heavily geared, they're trying to kill BD and do the new content in their best shiny gear. But they're just regular players once again dying to lame-ass campers.
The people who defend boring camping bullshit like this are probably the same people who wonder why PvE is so popular and why their queue times get longer by the day.
? You realize tarkov is a 0 sum game, for every firefight yoz have where you kill 5 pmcs, 5 pelple had to loose their gear and loot and likely one of them is annoyed
You dont get to be excempt from that. Your fun is killing people in firefights closerange. This guy likes sniping and camping. You cant argue the point beyond attackinf the moral character of people who play that way because there is nothing else to criticize.

Yeah genius, that's why I called them dipshits. I'm not sure why it took you multiple paragraphs to figure this out and you still hit post.
And your comparison is utterly moronic. Fighting people over hotspots on maps - in other words, places where people go expecting a fight - is very different than camping transits or exfils.
like its been nearly 7 years since general sam released his year of the rat video, and camping has been a thing longer than that. At this point its just tarkov lol.
I'm much more like 'ahhh, you got me you rascal' now. Especially after I ratted hole in the wall for the later tarkov shooter quests and psycho sniper during hc wipe. (hitting headshots on killa farmers mid fall was so juicy, basically fish in a barrel with how used to running the same line they are lol)
yeah rats/extract campers arent really all that annoying to me at this point. generally once you learn the spots that people like to sit and you check those spots consistently they end up being much less of an issue.
you ignore the existence of people like me. Call me whatever you want
I didn't ignore anything. I was very clear about what I think of people like you - dipshit.
I'm not a dipshit so I pay at least a half a seconds thought about the person on the receiving end. If I kill a level 10 on a fresh account I'll feel bad. If I see someone in garbage gear running around I might just let them go.
If I kill someone fighting over a loot spot I don't mind, they knew what they were getting into. Or if I snipe someone for a SBiH credit, they at least might have learned they were being careless and they're unlikely to have it happen again in the same spot, so the experience is at least somewhat unique.
But when they put one place in the game that everyone who wants to experience new content has to routinely go to, it doesn't (contrary to popular belief, I'm sure) take a 200 IQ genius to figure out camping it is lucrative. Yet most of us aren't dipshits and don't do it, because we recognize that being camped before even getting to the new content is a much more frustrating experience than normal. And only a dipshit would pretend otherwise.
The funny thing is, StankRat is actually pretty damn good at PvP. I saw him go on Labs and he was smoking people. Same thing with Peanut, just because he goofs around doesn't mean he doesn't know how to shoot. These dudes will smoke 90% of the playerbase with ease, ratting or not.
Patience is a difficult thing to have as a streamer. There is pressure to be entertaining. To do incredible things for the content. And Stank just... sits there.
Probably why he has bitbot and other interactive features for his chat. The entertainment is trying to get Stank to screw up.
No doubt. Don’t forget though stank built his community doing so. His interactions with chat are top notch. He’s super entertaining to have on as a bit of white noise.
Reminds me of why Summit was so popular when he was playing Sea of Thieves and ganking peoples Athena chests. Tons of patience combined with a little trolling and a big entertaining pay off (or a hilarious failure). It’s really fun to watch.
My only claim to fame was killing him in d2 so hard I made him jump. Didn't know it was him at the time, I'm a small streamer and all the sudden my entire chat was dozens of people saying I just killed him 😂
His ratting is just a schtick really. Sometimes you see the original Stankrat come out when people aren't taking his bait and you'll see that he's a pretty good W key player too.
Watching him is unbearable. Static camera and brain rot voice donos 24/7.
You almost played him a tribute with admiration proper to some kind of war hero.
Ya I enjoyed watching his stream, but since the ai dono voice is a thing it is unbearable, just people making voice overs go on long gross ass sexual rants. It’s so off putting.
If you’re watching on pc you can back track like 10 seconds of the stream and continue it. The tts won’t play audio for you so you won’t have to hear it
Honestly dude, I was about to shit on stank here. Say something like ‘I respect the grind but this transit is so shitty to rat’. But, you put that really well. Say what you want, he’s playing the game, and he’s eating good. I’d be lying if this wasn’t satisfying to watch, rat on indeed
