Shitty Gaming Communities

I'm turning 30 this year and rarely do I get angry at a game I'm playing anymore. For the life of me, I cannot stand the random teammates in this game 75% of the time.

Between the people not forfeiting when they're down by 4 with a minute to go, the autistic message spamming of "Wow" and "Okay." every time a minor mistake is made, and the breathtaking feat of every person being a literal retard who uses a mic, I'm considering deleting this game.

I get angry with my teammates sometimes to, but mistakes get made. No big fucking deal. Save the shit talking for the other faggots across the field.

It feels like most of the autists playing have never played a real sport in their entire lives. They play as though they are the only one on the team and if you don't clean up after them, it's your mistake.

Just got done yelling at some wigger for a whole match because I was supposed to read his mind. He's sitting on the ball but claims it a pass.

Feels good to vent.

Got a problem with a games player base? Let it out here.

rocket league is one of those "purely for fun" kinds of games, stop being a bitch about it. Get braindamagely drunk/high and enjoy yourself

>League of Legends
>/thread

Was drunk. That wigger wouldn't shut his mouth. Hard to have fun with somebody spamming or babbling every time you miss.

Never played it. What's bad?

I can only think of the randoms I run into while queueing for instances and raids. New class season is the worst.

then don't play retard. you probably cant even do 10/10 in all-star aerial training haha bronze/silver/gold pleb git gud faggot haha

That's most online games today, what can you do

I 10/10'd your mom last night you fat fuck. Your dad hung a medal from my dick.

Go shit post somewhere else.

>what can you do
git gud lol

>forfeiting

Stopped reading there you 30 year old beta bitch

>almost 30
>still playing games

Probably just gonna quit. Good games are getting scarce anyway. Most friends barely play anymore. Children fill the user bases. DLC is garbage, paying for advantages is garbage, and ingenuity seems to hardly exist.

I'll come back in a few months maybe. Red Dead 2 maybe.

you sound like a whiny faggot t b h. git gud

Being so naive you think you can score 4 15 second goals when I'm kicking your ass already.

Keep wasting your time then faggot. Enjoy your drawn out loss.

Were you playing rankeds?
If so, stop
If no, you are quite the cancer
As easy as mute it.

You can. Learn to not be a faggot.

What do you call it when somebody enters a thread to whine about somebody whining?

...

If you thought Rocket League was dumb, stay away from Pokemon Showdown. It's somehow even worse than the actual competitive Pokemon games which basically are "hack to win" thanks to a myriad of broken/bad deisgn choices. That's another rant, though. For now, on with Showdown.

It's an unofficial "Pokemon simulator" that barely avoids Nintendo/Gamefreak shutting the whole thing down due to having a bunch of really stupid playstyles. They even use ripped sprites.

Showdown likes to think it's superior to actual Pokemon because it "fixes" the game. By fixing it they actually mean they ban anything that kicked their butts this week. They don't actually do anything to fix the broken stats, broken moves, or other problems inherent in Pokemon. The only good change is the sleep clause (only one Pokemon asleep on each team at any time): a move ripped from Pokemon Stadium.

It's a massive circlejerk of elitist sad people who can't play the actual Pokemon games because they're "too hard/broken". Pokemon is geared at children.

By the way, you need a very high ranking and to be online at the exact right time to vote on a ban. To get these levels you need to beat lots of other players. This leads to even more whining.

Some votes are literally invitation only. This further increases the elitist circlejerk to levels seldom seen outside of camwhores.

It's incredible. Wow.

Wait, so why don't you play the actual Pokemon games?

People who complain about bad communities in games probably find it hard to fit into any kind of community in general.

I actually do play the pokemon games. Now, here is where I can rant about their community...

There are three types of Pokemon Player:

> 1) Pokebros
Expect some sort of personal code involved in making their team. For example, no legendaries or cute pokemon only. Often they have a signature or "bro" pokemon they always use no matter what even if it sucks. They also name their Pokemon and play around with them. They try hard to battle but suck at it because they aren't minmaxing munchkins. They hate Stat monkeys with a passion but can put up with story players most of the time as they understand having a "bro" pokemon.

> 2) Here for the Story
These people are actually there because they enjoy the Pokemon world and the game stories. They often beat the team with a "bro" pokemon they fell in love with early in the game and feel guilty about putting their starter pokemon away even if it sucks. They don't battle unless it's with other story players or Pokebros. They can understand these kinds of players. Stat monkeys laugh at them for their weak pokemon.

> 3) Stat Monkey
It's all about the stats, baby. They see pokemon as battle machines and don't care about story, in-world lore, personal preferences or anything else. Rarer is always better so expect shiny everything.

These are the guys who inject/hack their pokemon to perfect, breed them, then trade them. Can't brede them? Just hack! Its' the same in the code so it's all good, yo. If you aren't using a perfectly minmaxed team you suck. If you aren't using legendary/rare/tournament/gimmick pokemon you suck. If you aren't like them you suck. And if you beat them? They rage and screech like an angry Chihuahua with rabies.

These are the obnoxious people exploiting loopholes they found by screwing with pokemon moves and stats for hours on end. They are cancer incarnate and they think they are better than everyone else because they are cancer.

They also are loud and freaking everywhere.

>People who complain about steak covered in dog shit probably find it hard to eat any steak at all.

man, you leddit fags are pure cancer. instead of bitching about how it should be, why don't you fucking git gud you 29 year old cuck

Unironically git gud, higher ranks are generally more chill with people passing and not ball chasing, also they know mistakes are made so don't spam like retards. Of course you do get one every now and then but it's way less than in lower ranks.

>food analogy

People are people no matter where you go. If you notice people are prone to certain types of behavior in some games then you probably have a problem with the game itself not with the people.

>play a game for faggots
>surprised that faggots play

>Loud and everywhere

When this becomes true, you know your community is decaying. Happens to a lot of games anymore. They start great, then they're exploited to a point of being unrecognizable. Soon new people join thinking the game ruining behaviours are the norm and soon that's what they become. This site is proof of that even.

Post your steam ID, op.

I could use an older friend to play RL with. I have a mic, am generally laid back, and while I play to win, I don't take the game too seriously.

Well, Pokemon has been around for 20+ years now. I actually have been playing the entire time so I got to watch the slow decay.

In the early days hacking wasn't so easy. At best you had Gameshark, but tournaments could spot those hacks pretty easily so there was plenty of room for legit players. You couldn't even breed at first so stats were often imperfect leading to a lot more variety in teams. On top of it all, the few Stat Monkeys that existed had very predictable teams with easy counters. (ex: Persian again? Use Gengar or Primeape.)

The rise of the Stat Monkey happened along with the rise of computers and the internet. When a Stat Monkey found a new exploit, he passed it along. Nintendo didn't fight this, so they got more brazen. They even told new players it was the ONLY way to play and the ONLY way to win!

Pokemon Showdown was founded by Stat Monkeys seeking to take it one step further by making a "perfect" pokemon game. Remember that Stat Monkey types don't care about anything but stats, which is why Showdown is so bare and so munchkin-filled. Part of me suspects the only reason Showdowsn hasn't been killed is because the stat monkeys would be forced to come back to the actual games....

Hundreds of stat monkeys flooding back in to a world where every "competitive" player is a stat monkey already. It would take an already bad atmosphere and turn it into sheer hell.

Perhaps another time. This thread has provoked far too much hate for seemingly little reason.

Maybe we'll stumble upon one another in a new thread some time. But to trust you now in the midst of so many faggots would probably just leave my account vulnerable to somebody with too much free time and few friends.

Sorry.

Have you played Disc Jam btw? A friend and I have started migrating towards it for the moment. Fills the fun yet competitive doubles gap that RL leaves behind.

It's just that children tend to be little faggots. Something adults have always had to deal with.

Lol, reminds me of the kinds of guys I would see at the local comic book store playing magic. Many of them were great, but a few would flip the fuck out, even if their opponent was a child beating them.

That's a good point.

Where are the adult communities? I would nearly guess R6Siege was mostly adults, but even then there was a lot of riff raff.

Adults tend to band together to make their own communities. The best ones don't allow anyone under 18.

That said, age doesn't make everything better. Most stat monkeys in Pokemon are over 18. Most are actually 21-40. You have to filter Pokemon players by type, not age.

It pays to have a few key "filter" phrases you can slip in to weed out undesirables. For example, one I use in Pokemon is "I actually like banette. It's a cool pokemon."

Now, banette isn't super well known. If they don't know what banette is then they're probably a story player.

If they go "Oh cool" then start to talk about a pokemon they really like, and the pokemon isn't tournament trash or a legendary, they're usually a Pokebro. The only exception is if they mention a legendary or trounrament trash mon then start to talk about it in the anime, manga, or films. That's a story player who likes the non-games as well.

Banette isn't a very strong pokemon, even if it has it's uses. If they give me a funny look then rant about how banette sucks, they're a Stat Monkey. I make a mental note to avoid them in the future.

>blog thread populated by reddit spacing attention whores
At least make an attempt to fit in you fucking reddit faggots

Oh. Lol. I thought you were being serious this whole time.

10/10 trolling.

Unless you're legitimately autistic, in which case I apologize.

It's late and I'm going to bed.

Sounds like someone here has hit a nerve by describing you. Good. Now learn to not suck in your game community.

Do any of these people ever talk about games or do they just go around to each thread calling people reddit users?

The quickest way to make a thread disappear is to stop posting in it fucktard. Every time you faggots come in here whining you bump the thread you hate so much.

>claims others have never played a sport before
>gets mad when they don't forfeit
Aside from Baseball, what fucking sport would even allow that? Never forfeit. Play to the fucking end. You make the opposing team earn that win if they want it so bad.

The game is a lot more fun and I tend to do better when I don't take it seriously. You should make a point of ignoring the chat and learn to laugh at yourself when you fuck up instead of getting pissed at what went wrong.

If you're really in a hole about it just aim to do the most skill-intensive shit you can think of every game. You're bound to fail so things going wrong/losing won't feel so bad but you'll be doing more for your ability to play the game than you would if you just tunnel vision on winning every game.

People like that? They just call them austistic and/or reddit user. Usually they are the exact kinds of people this thread is ranting about.

Annoying players tend to be thin skinned. They use the annoyingness to try to feel superior to others. They don't have anything but trying to drag others down in order to try to prop themselves up.

It's pretty sad.

reddit as fuck posts. God you newfags don't even realize how cancerous you are.

...

...

Why would I forfeit when I'm still having fun? Playing against people better than you is how you learn to get better. Why even play any games if you're incapable of having fun when you're not winning?

There's literally an option to disable all chat in rocket league OP.
You don't really need the chat either. It's useful for kickoffs, but you can honestly do without.

I got to to grand champion last season with chat disabled and have gotten to champion I so far in the current season. Just turn that shit off

There's a time when winning isn't an option anymore and it's best to start the next game.

You're an idiot.

This has nothing to do with me hating many of the other players. I don't give my teammates shit and I never claimed to be kronovi.

Guys, seriously. What the fuck even happened in this thread? It became a parody of itself. Just wanted to vent and hear others vent about games, but instead it became some strange off topic shit posting spree.

Eh, I'm going to bed. There are other places to have conversations with actual substance.

It's a competitive game with microtransactions played mostly by people half your age or younger
What do you expect?

Even if I know I won't lose I'm still enjoying my time playing, otherwise I wouldn't play in the first place. Unless it's a 30+ minute game then yeah I agree fuck that

Smash is a good example of a shit community with no fun allowed, and it spreads like cancer too.
You can even see it here, years ago you got told to get the fuck out and go back to smashboards if you played this party game without items, And now we have a weekend thread that does nothing but that, and threads discussing the official tournaments as well.

kill yourself shitstain. dont come back to Sup Forums

(OP) #
I fucking hate rocket league allies, as soon as they fuck up THEMSELVES they leave you behind. Great game but its full of retarded ego bags and sore losers.

>He doesn't have five or six of his best friends, ten or so tertiary friends, and ten or so acquaintances that he barely knows outside of RL to play with.

Maybe you should stop being such an unlikeable cunt, OP? I'm about your age and I never have to play with strangers.

Stop playing ranked.

>point out the clear fallacy
>"You're an idiot."
Good response. Have a good day yourself.

>he has friends
lamo @ ur life

>play rocket league
>if anyone is salty cause I suck then comment or voice about it
>laughing my ass off about it
>getting insults because you win
>people shittalk
>laugh about that too

I sometimes laugh so hard that tears literally come out. My friend gets super salty and that's funny as well because he keeps on repeating to me that "I'm not angry or anything" then cusses constant when we lose.

Dota 2.

There's no point in keeping chat on in many cases, especially since there is a robust message system you can use to avoid actually typing or talking. The saltiness is maximized especially in dota because you have to play 30 to 40 minute minimum since there is no surrender option and a heavy penalty for leaving.

Starcraft 2 might be even saltier because in a 1v1 situation there are only 2 reasons why you lost. You either had insufficient skills to win, or the opponent was being exploitative and didn't deserve the win.

I tried to give you help to enjoy the game more and you got upset because I didn't beat you off about how everyone's an asshole but you. Have fun being a fucking virgin 30 year old who goes crying to anonymous image boards when 13 year olds shit on you in video games, and then cries some more when the board doesn't fix you a bowl of soup and read you a nap nap story. I hope to god I get the "riff raff" on my team instead of your insufferable faggot ass next time I play.

Go back to whatever shithole you came from. They have plenty of whatever your definition of "substance" is I'm sure. Fucking gay cunt.

This is why I just play HotS now and dropped Dota2. I neither have the time or patience for 40-50 minute long retarded games.

There were occasions where it was obvious from the 20th minute that we will lose and yet the shitty fucking game still went on for around 20 minutes. Fuck Dota2, worst timesink there is, even MMO's are better.

>30yo
>doesn't realize he's probably playing with kids/teenagers 90% of the time
>gets mad at kids/teenagers being shitty like it's something new

the best thing i ever did was learn to mute people or disable chat

This is the objectively correct way to play rocket league.

>play rocket with friend
>we win
>say gg that was fun
>hear a slight "die slavic fucks" over the music
>laugh so hard we have to stop for a minute


Mad people shittalking is the funniest thing ever. When you just play for casual fun and imagine the other guy swearing in actual rage.

This right here.
I always make my name some retarded middle school shit like "dick poop" then lose it when people shit talk about how I'm playing.

I play overwatch competitive now with my whole team muted, no voice or chat, yet leave all chat on. That way I can still see what the enemy team says as well as still see my own teams all chat. This allows me to only choose hanzo and widow without having to listen to my team mates bitch at me, as well as watch as some spill out their rage in all chat.

Games great this way.

Just play 1v1.
I'll never understand people playing multiplayer games and refusing any interaction with their teammates.

He mad

Remedy: play a good game.

Also as much as I can agree with you on the "not talking to overwatch players" thing, muting teammates in competitive anything makes you a retard. LITERALLY no (0) reason to be playing competitive if you do that.

>I want to play a multiplayer game
>I don't want to interact with people

Pick one, faggot.
You're the reason online gaming has gone to shit.

but I have a lot of fun this way.

The thing is with Dota, when you get a team that is at least cooperative, and the skills are similar between teams, it becomes a really great experience. It's a high you chase in these games - which is why it's addictive despite terrible experiences alot of the time.

I play HoTS too, but generally the games aren't as good because the players aren't as good, and you don't get people who try very hard unless you are doing ranked.

It's not reddit spacing, it's mobile spacing

>faggots mad I play a game I paid for the way I want

see you in game

Jesus, where to start.
>Melee Community
>Metroid fanbase
stand out

>30 years old
>playing multiplayer games with anyone but your personal friends

>people not forfeiting when they're down by 4 with a minute to go
> have never played a real sport in their entire lives

If there's one thing you don't do in sports, is forfeiting even if the game goes 0-6. You play the whole game until the end, as a way to show respect for yourself and your opponent.

Fucking faggot.

t. esport watcher

>Between the people not forfeiting when they're down by 4 with a minute to go

It's a 5 minute game and you don't get better by quitting every time you're getting beat. Besides if you were actually good you could score 4 goals within a minute.

>teammate talks shit
>go against my own team until they leave
>love every salty comment they leave in the chat

So you're the guy who was worthless on our team then tried to score for the other team and failed just as bad all the while thinking you were crippling us when in reality you were just dead weight from beginning to end.

Honestly you should just quit the match if you're that salty about what you read in chat. Let someone else join who wants to play.

>play rumble
>3-4 our favor last 15sec of game
>we slam dunk into enemy team's goal
>somebody plungers it with just a sliver of the ball sticking out
>slingshots it all the way to the other goal for a tie
>chat erupts with "wow"s

OT lasted 2min, we lost, and nobody was salty that day.

You're a sad little man :(

You're the same kind of moron that cries when he gets reported and banned.

No surprise that you're stuck solo queuing you insufferable loser

I refused to ff when we were down by 4 with a minute and a half to go and we ended up winning. I only ff when it's obvious that the opponent is smurfing.

>>play rumble

It takes like 5 seconds to mute someone in Rocket league.

the only way to play rocket league

The most important thing for competitive rocket league is finding people to play it with. You need to know your teammates or else it's a royal pain in the ass.

>Mate steals your goal last second
>"Great Pass!"

It's banter m8

>kickoff
>you and mate are next to each other at the goal
>3
>2
>1
>he goes "I got it!" literally in the last split second of the countdown
>I was already going for the ball, but i stopped once i saw it.
>he saw me going for it so he stopped too.
>we're both just sitting there like idiots.
>free goal for them.

>I hate having fun
why are you even playing rocket league

It blows my mind how much lennyface still gets spammed in online games

Wow!

they should add more quickchat comments. stuff like "passing" or "faking" should be added.

I found things to go a lot smoother when you know how to handle randoms: if any of them show any signs of being 100% ball-chasing retards, stay on a defensive position most of the time. If you are any good at knowing when you should go for a clear, your teammates will fumble with the ball enough that they will get a goal while you are just sitting back ready to unfuck any fuckup they do. Otherwise, if I'm playing with a friend or a teammate shows the capacity to play defensive, you can start actually rotating.

I went from a shitty Prospect Elite in season 3 to a Platinum I this season just from doing that.
