Mutterings from someone who should have quit a while ago

I have only 1 rule concerning myself being friendly. That rule is that i do not care if you steal my team's flag or if you kill @asplshofcitrus or Impeaceful or some other person i am friends with. But i will assist them in killing you if you do attack me. I only try to cap once every 100 maps so people i am friendly with have no actual reason to attack me unless they really think that the map i am trying to cap on is Beaver Creek or Airlock. I am a ctf pacifist, i hate unnecessary violence unless the person is obviously intent on killing me and there is no method of convincing them to be friendly. Most people have all the classes so there is no actual reason to cap unless you are stat hungry or you like the thunder that occurs when you capture. If there is a reward for capturing apart from credits then people would play the objective.

 

This is absolutely a huge problem which is incredibly harmful for the game, but I see it happening all the time whenever I play late at night. Imo the whole deal of being friendly/ tryharding / friendly but tryharding when the other team isn't looking is kinda just something that can be annoying, but doesn't really mean much in the end as everyone just has different objectives. What citrus is saying shouldn't be overlooked - a random heavy with 300 ping will long on and swing their sword at anything, then a regular will kill them over and over right outside of spawn while flaming them in chat. Brawl loses a potential player every single time this happens.

I honestly can't think of any solution to fix this problem besides killing the regular who is targetting the new player or help the new player to kill the regular - but then that means you get looked down upon for killing a "friendly"

 

Splashy you have a big face its impossible to pearl past. I really only have one rule. Don't steal the flag. If you steal the flag or I see you helping someone steal the flag, I'm going to objectively play the game and remove you from the flag room.

As for the late night randoms, they tend to talk a lot of ****. There's a phrase "don't talk **** if you can't take the hit."
If you don't want to die 300 times, don't call someone ez after you kill them once in ten, or do something cheesy like sniping spawn. I really have no problem if they're quiet, and I especially like answering questions if they're asked.

10/10 interesting thread +1

 

imagine trying to be friendly in whats meant to be a competitive team game,, lol,,

 

I look at tab and look at some names I've never seen before.
Usually there is a IGN that isn't hard to forget, sometimes because its long af, sometimes because you have no idea how to pronounce it.

THEN I STALK THAT PLAYER
In tab to see if they are on again
You see them week after week AND SEE THEM DEVELOP and understand the game.

Then they get better at killing the "regulars"
And eventually someone gets pissed and targets them until they never show up again and I cry ;(

I should write a book.

I agree with you though, problem with me is that I usually feel like I'm wasting my time killing them
OR
They are with more so I would get 4v1'd

Lets quit this game

 

just be nice to the noobies, accidentally 'scroll' to ur steak instead of ur sword, give them a boost when they have the flag, etc xP

if they have fun, i have fun tbh, hate to be a party pooper for my little noobies cuz if it's just 5-10 ppl left on a server then im sad

 

we lose players because class updates don't exist and when they do they're all nerfs

also minecraft is dead. play fortnite. or you can queue in league w/me (XDDDDD)

 

Isn't League pretty dead though?

Plus Fortnite is still less popular than Minecraft purely from a player perspective ;_;

 

wheres the roblox option, id rather play that

#deadgamesmatter ??!

 

go play with ur kinex nerd

 

why boost them when u can kill them so u get 30 credits

 

idk

actually tho.... if we're talking about an investment, 30 or 100 credits may seem nice, but if the person gradually starts to improve and decides to stay on the server, then the stock price will rise and easily turn into 300 or 1000000 credits when u have to tryhard to kill them many many times

 

True

 

Situation A: Engineer keeps camping on my flag side building. I keep targeting him and repeatedly killing him because it is strategic to do so. Engineer complains to unexperienced CTF staff member. Staff member warns me for objectively playing the game. If you camp my side of the map, I will target you.

 

league still has a lot of players yeh but anyone who still hardcore plays league in 2018 isn't going to be the kind of ppl you want to play league with
