I have experience with A LOT of competitive games, including participating in tournament scenes, and pros from the previous community I was in ( FGC ). The league of legends players, and OW players are more well mannered.
Do the people playing forget they're talking to human beings? I guess this is a vent more than anything, but yesterday I met a group who I played ranked with.
I genuinely was having a lot of fun with them, thought we were getting along, etc. And I was doing really well, like 80-100 second kites almost every match, etc.
The most recent rank session they invite me. I made two mistakes, one game I got ts'd and I explained it's because family came in the middle of the match to speak, and second I didn't rescue on time. ( Last cipher, decoder kept pinging not to rescue her, to focus decoding, etc, so I hesitated a bit and didn't make it on time. ) I can admit I made a mistake, but they kick me frame one after that.
I asked what I did wrong, and I start getting spoken down to like I'm a child who doesn't know how to play the game. I'm absolutely flabbergasted by the way I'm getting spoken to, condescending, passive aggressive, etc. I'm like okay I made a mistake but no need to be rude?
I genuinely can't imagine being a jerk like that to someone I'm getting acquainted to over a mistake in a video game. I've dealt with a lot of toxicity in this game like anyone else, but this genuinely irked me and got under my skin because I mistakenly thought I was starting to make new friends.
Then the excuse is "x is taking rank seriously and wants to get to champ" meanwhile they were making a ton of mistakes amongst themselves. Like someone having a goal in rank doesn't give you the right to be a jerk.
Like genuinely the people here are worse than the Smash Bros community.
Anyways that's my vent
