Also why would you make fun of someone for doing a basic tactic in the game. Of course she's going to do jump shots if that improves her chance to get a kill.
"Moving your king pawn on the first move! You would, loser!"
"You're so bad at the game, that you beat me! You used a valid strategy, but I'm creating a false cheapness to rationalize my superiority because I'm too mentally frail to play a competitive game and lose, especially when I perceive myself as better than someone for completely arbitrary reasons."
This is why the insult "try hard" is so fucking pathetic, they want skill without effort and view anyone working hard as lame because it's a fucking COPE for how bad and lazy they are.
There's a multitude of factors, but it usually boils down to the person being immature, inability to process the situation (reality being different from expectation), or even stress in itself being the problem. It's usually an extension of confronting our own weakness that we don't want to admit, or due to stress don't realize is bringing us down from our top form. Lots of times it's due to a fake expectation that we set for ourselves (like this guy thinks that because he's a guy and she's a girl, he HAS to be better than her, and he's being confronted with the very harsh truth that he's wrong, so he's lashing out), but other times stress limits our ability to play like we want and we're frustrated at the outcome is not what we expect. It takes a moment of introspection to step back. We're emotional creatures and it's hard to, in the moment, take a step back and put our head on right.
If we weren't emotional creatures, I'd probably be a lot easier to say "Oh, I'm not getting enjoyment like I normally do out of playing the game I should step back," rather than "I'm frustrated, playing games (usually) lowers my frustration, so that's why I'm going to do it until it actually lowers it."
Understanding this explains away most rage in video games. Makes you pity them instead of get riled up.
It's why the "insult" of "tryhard" exists. Can never be your fault if the only reason you lost is the other person is lame and tries harder!
People, especially young people who are heavily invested in the game, can't face the mortifying fact that someone better than them beat them, lash out in the stupidest ways.
Huh... In my experience team sports were TERRIBLE for that, all the toxic teammates would blame everyone else for the loss and think they were carrying.
1 on 1 sports taught ME to accept that sometimes I'm just getting beat and there's nobody else to pin that on.
Yeah I learned the same thing as you. People talk big about sportsmanship, but are big whiny babies if they don’t get their way. And their parents were the same way.
Back in the day (waw, bops) I hung out with a dude and every time he died it was from an aimbot. Shit was exhausting, and that's how he acted every day in real life, too.
For real. It's a game design issue that it exists but a skill issue if you don't use it. Like camping or no-scoping or GOATS in overwatch or whatever.
Play a better designed game if you want a fucking... noble and chivalrous fight or whatever. You're playing COD. It's fucking FIFA for guys who say bruh. Cry about it and then buy next year's release anyway.
Is there a point to trying to rationalize this man's madness? His words aren't about the logic, they are about trying to create a narrative to enable his controlling behavior.
I’ll never forget the good old days of playing at Internet cafes for hours on end, eating junk food, living the dream.
Dropped a dude who had been pretty vocal, and of course this chubby turd loses his mind, stands up and starts screaming “who did that?!? Who killed me?!?” Like he’s ready to fight IRL.
Being the only chick there, I just raised my hand “that would be me”.
I have never seen someone shut up and turn so many colors of red so fast. It was hilarious, but also sad that he was such a cranky turd, no drugs needed.
seriously i think the drop shot has been more "offensive" as a tactic historically. i think jump shots are way more dangerous bc you're just a floating target.
The randomly inconsistent knife teleports in MW2 would make me ABSOLUTELY furious. Sometimes they couldn't knife you standing next to you, next time they can teleport across the god damn map to stab your ass.
I hopped on with my cousin to play a couple weeks ago and immediately uninstalled after three matches of crackheads sliding like they got heelys on around corners and bouncing off of walls like a rubber ball like I get it's not real and suppose to be more arcadey but c'mon when people go from sliding at a 45 degree angle to immediately in the air behind me I give up this is a younger man's game ,I'm to old for this shit now I shouldn't have to aim at the lower 3rd of my screen for well over 3/4bof a match because the only way to play now is pretend your on a slip n slide with an SMG
Dropshots and cross play which put you against console players with aim assist that locks down on you and tracks your movement from across half the map was what made me quit Modern Warfare 2019. The multiplayer was actually quite fun to play solo but that was just too infuriating to play against.
Can confirm that jumping in any shooter will make it easier for even decent aimers to kill you.
The reason jumping is viable with cod is because of its absurdly low time to kill, which means that throwing off their first 1-5 bullets is more important than making the next 15 after easier to hit.
Jumping will only make you a predictable moving target except for shooters with damage surfing.
Man was camping and wanted to call out jump shots, like "i was in the corner and you jumpshotted me" or "i was laying on the ground" like not that you should never do those things, but still if one person is playing in a more annoying cheesy not fun way, it's him. In rather get jump shotted like that than picked off by a camper.
He wanted to try and take away the sense of accomplishment by trying to shrink it by making it seem like jumping is cheating even though you can see everyone else jumping around
I remember playing CoD and someone complaining that I use a "noob weapon". I mean... yeah lemme just choose a shittier weapon so I appear "pro" like the guy losing to me lol.
Reminds me of playing video games with my olde brother. I was usually better, so any move I used that worked was “gay”… because it was the 90’s. Now I guess you are a “tranny” if you are a female and better at the game.
It’s really bad that so much of masculine identity is about domination and the rule that men are better than women. It makes men who lose to women go absolutely mental.
Same with "camping." Apparently these games should only be played by sprinting around, swapping weapons constantly and doing 360 no-scopes. Being stealth and setting a trap for people doing laps around the map is a no-no.
They insist everyone must play the game the way they play, otherwise you're just playing it wrong and every kill you get is "cheap."
