So I like to play the game. It's a MOBA, a multiplayer online battle arena. There are teams of five on each side, and roles each players usually has to fulfill for each side. Like how in WOW, you need tank, dps, and healer. And I love the game, I really do.
But I'm the kinda guy that likes to play solo. I don't go out of my way to look for people to play with. One, the skill levels may differ greatly, and while it can still be fun to play with someone like that, it's usually dangerous to downright malicious to play that way in a competitive environment/game mode. Two, people generally play a game for different reasons; they have different definitions of fun. And I have no patience for losers. I know that sounds harsh, but I just don't get along with people who don't have the same mindset as me. I'm sure that that's the same for everyone else. And lastly, it's a drag waiting on people or trying to find people to play with.
So I'm a semi-competitive player that like to play solo for the micro/mechanical fun of the game, dodging attacks, predicting enemy movements, and just playing a character I think is fun.
I don't think I'm in the minority in this. That is to say, I think most people who play the game think the same way. So what's the point of this post? Well, it's that people are generally awful.
I who played solo was constantly fucked by my team. That would be a great title for a web novel. In recent months I've tried to get in the game again. But every fucking time I get asshole team mates that intentionally try to lose the game. Now I can understand trolls in like 10% of games, but not 100. I think it's fucking malicious, that people have it out for me specifically. Now I know I sound crazy, and maybe a little bit paranoid. But - WHO ARE YOU CALLING PARANOID!?
*cough cough* And it's not just that. I recall years past, when I was moving on from my humble silver beginnings, to the next rank, gold. And I abused the frick out of a character/champion who played so well in that low rank. And I can still remember, that one game, that game that decided whether I would move on to gold or not, it had one asshole twitch player (a rat character/champion in the game) who fucken refused to cooperate unless I virtually begged and pleaded. Now I had no fucken problem with that. I have no sense of self-importance or dignity (I know I don't count as shit on the scale that decides the value of humanity as a whole), but the thing that pissed me off was how that player expected me to have some fucking problem with him. How they assume they knew me so fucken well, that it would be so difficult for me, or that they would enrage me so. Fucken assholes man.
I RECALL ANOTHER TIME, where this fucker challenged me to a one v one and then said gg to me as if he were teaching me some grand life lesson. It was a fucking one v one, it didn't mean shit whether I won or loss, it had zero definition on my value as a person or a player.
I fucking hate people who assume they're fucking helping me, when all they're actually doing is making themselves look like assholes. Like jesus fucking christ, how can people be so fucking entitled, assuming they know what they don't. It pisses me right off.
Oh, yeah, that game that got me to gold, the one with that twitch. I'm the kind of person that values competition, the kind that would never cheat since that defeats the entire purpose of the match, I have at least the flimsiest sense of honor. So what would you do in that situation? Where you try to play a game for competition, where you try to perform to the best of your ability, but it doesn't matter at all since some entitled fucker could ruin it all just because they're trying to "help" you. Doesn't that defeat the meaning or purpose of it all? Like why play a competitive game if there's no competition; it's just about pleasing some random asshole on the internet. I'd rather be a fucking cam girl (not that I physically could be), at least that way I would get paid for virtually sucking dick.
Man, that's quite gratuitous. I would apologize, but I'm in such a mood that I don't even care.
So I had quit the game for a couple years after I made it to gold. I had lost that competitive fire, knowing that it didn't matter whether I played well or not. And recently I've been trying to get back in. And I keep getting inters (inentional losers) who keep on trying to teach me the lesson of "I need people". I FUCKING KNOW THAT! I JUST DON"T LIKE YOU SPECIFICALLY, YOU FUCKING ENTITLED ASSHOLES WHO ASSUME YOU KNOW WHO THE FUCK I AM OR WHAT I FUCKING BELIEVE!
I mean, I like people as much as the next guy, but if you're annoying, then of course I'm not going to like you, I'm pretty sure everyone else is the same on that regard. I think there was just a gigantic misunderstanding, and some head honcho idiot asshole assumed the worst and spread the word. Now, I'm not saying we should crucify that guy, but let's leave the option open is all I'm saying.
Fuck me, man, I mean, honestly, the nerve of some people. This is why I don't like (some) people. They try to help me, but they don't understand that they're getting in my way. All a bunch of fucking idiots. Oh, but not you of course, you're great.
What was my point? Honestly, I just wanted to vent. And perhaps, maybe, that network of players that are against me will read this and stop inting when they're on my team? Hopefully. I know it's a long shot, but I really fucking want to play that game. I mean, it's not fair, is it? That I shouldn't be allowed to play when everyone else is, right?
And so, I pray to god, or whatever divine being that rules over all of us to please, please get those idiot assholes to stop.
