• 9 times outta 10 when I see someone complaining about the overcompetitive player, the overcompetitive player is just winning while the dude playing for fun is getting destroyed, then whining about “try hards.”

      No, it’s a different mentality. There’s the player who dies, laughs, then respawns. Then there’s the player that can never die without blaming someone else. The enemy tactics were cheap, they were hacking, the game is unbalanced, their teammates fucked up, etc. It’s infuriating to deal with. Instant block when I run into these overgrown children.

      Im gonna disagree, I think a large portion of online gamers are not healthily competitive and many of them make the game worse for the ones who just want to have some casual fun.

      The most annoying thing about playing with competitive gamers isn’t losing. It’s the cheesing, exploits, lack of variety due to meta, micromanaging from teammates, etc…
