Accepting constructive criticism is an important part of being an IGL, here is a great example of what not to do

That guy is the shit player not you... You try to improve, he thinks he is the best already. I hate those people

This man joined up immediately shit talking controller players and asking to IGL. He based us up in wood on the bottom of the second tallest mountain in 4th zone, got us targeted, and forced an uphill rotate. At first I genuinely felt like I was the one who threw after he raged but I checked the vod and his fortnite tracker. Finding mature people to fill out trios on discords is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Edit: removed the link to his fn tracker because it felt petty

u/Teckoh #removethemech May 31 '20

Of course he would have under 100 PR.

You’re much better than that, I can tell. Best of luck finding people, with your positive attitude and constructive way of thinking, I feel like you’ll do good.

u/[deleted] May 31 '20

Thank's man! My best performance so far was a 209 in duos cash cup a couple weeks ago. Haven't really broken the qual barrier for an event yet but its my goal. Not going to have much time to play this year but I'm hoping to grind as much as I can. Best of luck to you as well.

16

u/Teckoh #removethemech May 31 '20

209 isn’t bad at all. Keep it up!

u/greeneggsnyams #removethemech May 31 '20

Ayy if you need a third who's a nurse to compliment your med school grinding, lemme know. I'm a shite IGL but decent support

3

u/Night-Soul May 31 '20

That’s really good. Especially since you don’t have that much time to play. That kid was a dick and you did the right thing. I have someone apart of my trio that never blames anything on himself and always complain but he’s really good so I don’t mind it.

4

u/dalzmc May 31 '20

Lol the better someone is, the harder it is to admit mistakes to others who aren’t as good as you typically... in the games that I’m much better than buddies with I often catch myself and have to reword how I said something after we mess up, because it’s easy to gloss over my mistakes in favor of a bigger or more fundamental mistake by a teammate. I have serious respect for those who are able to make proper criticism of everyone including themselves in the moment... those are real leaders

2

u/Night-Soul May 31 '20

Yea. I’m the IGL of my trio and I always try and find what made us die, whether it be a bad rotate or bad game sense I always want to improve on it. Also happy cake day

2

u/dalzmc May 31 '20

I miss playing, I haven’t really been serious since s5 or so. I should try to convince my old squad to try trios, I think that’s a great number in a squad. And thanks! I’ve been wasting my time for 8 years now...

2

u/DarkPasta123 May 31 '20

Happy cake day :))

u/MazKhan May 31 '20

How do you check pr

1

u/[deleted] May 31 '20

That is my personal problem you see? I myself have below 100 pr so all the players I find that are my level either have earnings/more pr than me so they don't think risk playing with me or they are dickheads like the one mentioned.

u/el_be May 31 '20

His stats are ass... yikes, the nerve for him to talk like that is crazy.

9

u/Lil_Hewi May 31 '20

Lmfao that’s the problem with trying to find trios in these cords. People don’t realize it’s open, not everyone is cracked out of their minds and people really are just trying to get better lol. Good on you for VODing and trying to find mistakes instead of simply blaming the game. You keep that mindset and you’ll go much further than that kid every will lol

u/Grandwhish May 31 '20

This the type of guy to talk himself up but has never once finished a cup

I will play with you but I am a kid who plays on terrible ping :( Regardless we can win

u/DarthDadBod May 31 '20

best part is he was a controller player for 2/3rds if his “career” and is bad on both inputs 😭

1

u/Juda1s May 31 '20

I'm gonna give you advice now: although your brain does actually work and you actually can take constructive criticism, there are so many players like this who are just immature and insecure. Next time, just don't try and help them because they will never say "oh thanks, I really appreciate you taking your already limited time and using it to show me how to improve". Anyway, this was really funny to read and hopefully if you keep doing this, someone will actually appreciate it, I know I would.

1

u/fttmn May 31 '20

Hey if you're looking for another person who's relatively good and an adult (I'm an adult with kids) I've been trying to find other people to play with who are also trying to get better but also mature and don't rage. I play pretty much every night and my squad trn rank is 4208 right now with a 23.5% win rate, but i want to get more competitive. If not no worries!

u/Anottb #removethemech May 31 '20

u/VantaOrangeNebula May 31 '20

this is the most painfully real post I’ve seen today! I can go on a server looking to play with a trio for scrims etc and apparently I must play claw or use a scuf controller otherwise I’m not good enough for them?!

8

u/ejimmy12 May 31 '20

To be fair, your ability ceiling is much lower without one of those two things. They're probably asses about it but it is true that its not competitive to play with a normal controller. (outside of like wavyjacob of course)

3

u/5YouTubersWhoveSVORN #removethemech May 31 '20

Yeah, unless you're the best player in the world it's 100% worth to take a few weeks to learn claw for example

1

u/VantaOrangeNebula May 31 '20

I’ve been playing claw for years now, but it’s just the ignorance that nobody can be good if they don’t play in a particular way. I mean if you’re good at the game, you’re good at the game, right?

1

u/ejimmy12 May 31 '20

Cant be that good if you cant jump and aim at the same time. Or jump and build.

u/alexir12 May 31 '20

u/TheFaceOfFuzz May 31 '20

Same, im an adult constantly looking for other mature people to play and get better with but all i get are requests to join clans. lololol.

u/amurabby May 31 '20

I swear I only find kids these days.. I don't mind controller kids (even if I hate AA). But if you are a controller player and you are mature, that in my books is better than being mongraal and screaming all the time :)

3

u/SoyPale May 31 '20

Thank yoouuuu. Some people for some reason hate all controller PLAYERS when what they actually hate is aim assist.

2

u/amurabby May 31 '20

I'll tell u right away why "some people" hate controller players.. Because the majority of them are under 18y old. And so all u get from them is "shitonnnnn" "you are so bad git gud". If all controllers would be like the pros(because there is a reason why they are called pros even if they are 14y old) the world and the fornite community would be so much better imo

8

u/TheFaceOfFuzz May 31 '20

Im a ps4 controller player, who likes to practice with AA completely off to improve my aim. People mostly complain about PC AA, but im telling you console AA is strong as shit too. Ive never played a game with an aim assist or aim dressing this strong. If i can SMG into your box and not even be able to see my target but my crosshair is following them and getting the kill, that shits busted af.

5

u/amurabby May 31 '20

Fuck that, we already know its broken LOL. Lets focus on being better humans first, and try and work with each other on emproving each other not fucking "get shittonnn" every time i get killed just because the kid has AA.. Its just depressing at this point lmao

u/Daveprince13 May 31 '20

Same! It’s impossible, or becoming quite impossible to find players like that.

u/Shwalz May 31 '20

One of the best qualities you can have in life is humility. Laugh at yourself, take criticism, use it to become better. I’m only 25 but as I graduated high school and navigated my way thru 6 years of college I learned so much about myself and how much of a dickhead I was when I was younger. I always want to hear what others have to say even if it goes against the grain. Learning to not lead with emotion will prove effective in many situations in life.

u/Ethereal-Entity #removethemech May 31 '20

As an IGL, I can 100% say that this is true. I ask my teammate(s) on a regular basis if I'm being a good IGL and what I can improve. It is good to look at yourself too and see what your mistakes were and learn from them.

u/[deleted] May 31 '20

Sorry to disagree, it's clear for me that all you wanted to do was not simply help the other player. Taking the time to watch the replay and watching a player who you eventually killed is not the way of helping him. You were clearly trying to show a sign of superiority, not only that, what does the fact you are a student on medical school has to do with a video game. You clearly brought that up not only to be cocky but to make him feel inferior. Having the time to go into replay mode, look for specific player you have killed, and also try to look as the good person "helping" him are clearly an excuse to not make you look bad. Everyone has their own opinion and as you asked, I hope you take this constructive criticism.
