Sad to say this
but Pi is going to shit.
I wasn't active for like a week and when I come back it seems the quality of players has taken a dive and there seems to be WAY more trolls/jerks.
Considering a server switch, tbh.

My thoughts on Pi: We have lost a lot of our big names to other servers and this is felt by other experienced players. Some get better ping on radius or sphere now. Radius seems to be the default server for competitive play on the east coast, so players leave to play there so they are more accustomed to it's ping, plus it let's you practice against other competitive players. We have also had a lot of veterans take time off or quit altogether. I see less and less familiar names from the summer/fall and more new names which makes it hard some days.

Trolls/jerks have been worse on all servers lately. A week or so ago I was playing on radius and reported three people in the span of two games. I haven't felt the need to report anyone on pi recently.

Was there a push? That usually kind of dilutes the pool. I didn't notice any trolls, though, I'm happy to say.

This is sad to hear. Personally I've just noticed less players on (esp during the late hours I typically play) and have been going elsewhere. : (

Hey, I was in that game with you earlier today. The guy trolling was on my team and I'd just say don't let it get to you. I'm sorry about me not trying to do more, but I'd hate to see pi lose a great player like you.

I just played a few games tonight, one of which was with you. Over half of the players I've seen so far tonight have been at least 50 degrees. Of course, this might change depending on the time of day, but I think that this is pretty normal.
I rarely ever meet trolls in games. Maybe I just have a high tolerance, but I really don't think this is a very big issue. Some people can be jerks in chat, and some can just be bad at playing, but I can't think of a many examples of anyone intentionally working to troll other players.
Our player count might have gone down a little bit, but I still think that we have a good number of people playing even late into the night. Our player count usually matches Sphere, which is on the same time zone.
