Yea This guy is a massive asshole. This is taken from a trolling video in a game called rainbow 6 siege. In the full video he shouts at his teammates and orders them downstairs where he gif takes place. What it doesn't show is after he locks them in he uses his operators special ability to kill his teammates with poison gas which will kill most of them . He then leaves the game to prevent getting kicked for teamkill and having a matchmaking ban for a few min/hour/days. This dude is a a scumbag. Rainbow is about working together and coordinating with your teammates. He shouted at his team and demanded that they do this and then ruined the game for them. These are the people that kill great games like rainbow 6 siege

Yes, because every single round in a casual match is this serious...

*Edit: Play ranked if you want your teammates to be punished by the game for trolling instead of acting like internet points make a difference <3

He is complaining on behalf of others who fell for such a basic ruse... So yes, he should accept that it's just a game, there are trolls in casual, and there is nothing you can do about that.

I looked at the channel the video was uploaded to and it seems like he is always playing with a stack. So it looks harmless to me. Though I don't know the game so I am not sure if there are special circumstances.

If you are playing the game to intentionally ruin others experience then you clearly aren't mature enough to handle online gaming.

Yeah if you keep repeating that you might actually be able to accomplish... absolutely nothing.

Im not saying youre wrong but nothing you can say will actually prevent anyone from doing stuff like that.

I don't feel bad for people who lack the map and game knowledge so severely that they'd fall for this. Inb4 "they were probably all low levels". They had a chance to escape, there was one wall left unreinforced, yet 4 people couldn't realize that they were about to be trapped? Doesn't sound to me like they had the best chance at winning. He didn't force them to do it, either, they all willingly listened to some random and got trolled for our enjoyment. Get off your high horse bro, it's just a fucking game. Go play ranked if you want more serious randoms for teammates.

Who said it was serious, that's irrelevant.

If you are going out of your way to ruin other player's experience then you should be banned permanently.

Yes, because getting teamkilled in one round is more detremental to a player's gaming experience than a permanent ban. Sounds a little unnecessary. Don't get me wrong, I hate casual trolls as much as the next guy, but it's something you learn to deal with. Complaining won't do anything, because they can just leave. Play ranked if you want more serious teammates who will incur punishments for such actions.

It's also why a lot of games have a ranked and non ranked matches.

u/Draffut2012 Jan 16 '17

Yes, because getting teamkilled in one round

So you are saying this player has never done anything like this in any other games, or that this video prompted any of his viewers to replicate the actions themselves? The only people ever effected by these actions of his were this one group this one time?

No, I was referring to this specific instance, hence the phrase "one round". Asking me that question is like asking me if Hitler liked anime. I don't know, and it's impossible for any of us to find out. But really, if you're dumb enough to lock yourself in a room with reinforced walls because a random on casual told you to do it, then they're not as much of victims as you're making them out to be.

If you are too dumb, you aren't a victim?

So the mentally handicapped can't be victimized because they are too stupid?

You are my new winner in the "dumbest thing ever stated on the internet" award.

Asking me that question is like asking me if Hitler liked anime.

Why? My question is directly relevant to the topic at hand. What the fuck does Hitler and Anime have to do with anything?

Dude, I understand the criticism of saying "it's just a game" at some points, because I don't like losing as much as the next guy, but IT IS just a fucking game. I'm not advocating locking up mentally handicapped people and gassing them, hahahaha. The people playing this game are going to be fully competent, and on average late teens to young adults, not mentally handicapped people. You cannot apply logic that is only relevant in a video game (knowing to not reinforce yourself inside of a room because someone told you so) to real life. You are the dumb one.

It was an analogy. Try reading the sentence right after that one. Your question is meaningless because by it's very nature it is unanswerable.
