Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
So I can see where your coming from but sometimes I do shit in a game and don't get into the flow it's not exactly nice when some guy who is more experianced (who I shouldn't have been paired up with in the first place..) has a go at you for being a bit crap. Not like I was doing it on purpose.
I like too win as much as the next guy but don't be jerk about it. It is after all a game at the end of the day and there no need to get your panties in a twist.
Yeah, people do play online competitive games and really don't care if they win.
Do you lead by going lone wolf then yelling at your teammates for being idiots?... or do you lead by trying to nicely help out new people... by trying to get the team to act as a team?
Personally I love assholes who yell at everyone for being losers and not knowing how to play. I usually immediately stop what I'm doing and sit my ass down in a comfy spot (I usually go to sniping) and tell them to go ahead and win the game for us. Why do I do this?... because they've sucked the fun out of the game and I want to irritate them as much as they are irritating me.
Yes, it's childish.... but no less childish than being "that" asshole that figures they have the right to call everyone else out. You want serious... play clan ladder games - that's why they exist.
No offense... I know this is a monthly musing and you may not actually be that asshole... but there are lots of them around.
You're doing it wrong, buddy.
I suppose the reason they go with is to lend credibility to their tracked statistics, but that doesn't seem as important to me as keeping the experience fun for everyone.
If you want to play competitively and squash n00bs, stick with your "clan" of like-minded douches and leave the rest of us just to have fun.
I've found that most of the guys who bitch about their team are the guys playing slayer when the game is capture the flag. Get involved with your team, if they'll have that. Sometimes they don't. You just look for a better game afterward.
