People are idiots i get rage quitters dailey half of it is online netcode the other half is ppls ignorance and unwillingness to learn the game tbags and taunts arnt necessary u never know how the other person might take offense i lost a friend cuz taunted that it was in good taste considering the match we were having but he got upset and removed me so i learned from it and i do onto others as they do onto me ps im sorry again mr crazy steady leader of nexus -_-i
Don't even go there champ. I get muffled gibberish & have specks of raging-player spittle soiling my ears through the mic when i go online with the headset equipped.Why i use the headset contraption these days i don't know. Glutton for abuse maybe?
Now, I will be the first to openly admit that i pretty much fail at this game, I know this & i acknowledge this (although i am getting good with Gen Fu, cussing out his strengths & weaknesses). The issue is, people online (atleast the ones I've encountered in my experience) take losing really badly & seriously. You win a match & almost feel as though someone is going to lynch you for it. Sure, noone likes losing but noone likes a sore loser either. If someone can't play this game expecting to drop a few matches be it to pro players or casuals without keeping a cool head then maybe this isn't the hobby for some people.
I don't play this game in an attractive manner, my timing with counters is pants & my attempt at side stepping goes tits up nine times out of ten, but when i do muster up a few wins (much to my own surprise) damn do i cop some flak for it. I get called it all: "Spammer" "Scrub" "Weak-as-piss, cheap-way-out spamming filth" "Bitch of various mothers" You name it, I've most likely been called it. But with the mic i have a voice whereas these fellows have to type out cranky mispelt messages to get their ill point across
Having a mic has it's advantages because speaking is faster than typing. As for rage-quitters that you mentioned, i get them too. In fact during a few matches, i had some fights that looked in the bag with 2-0 fight count leads until my opponent pulled the plug & denied me of a victory. What can you do though?
I lose more than i win & i throw out the odd taunt here in there for abit of light-hearted fun to urge the opponents hunger to win further. Players I've met also have problems with this too, usually labeling it as cheating or distracting, but it's part of the game so i will use it if it puts my opponent at a disadvantage. If someone taunts me mid-match, post or after a fight it doesn't really bother me much, it annoys me in a sense because you lose, but at the same time it ignites you to fight better, adding to the thrill of the fights imo.
I know i play ugly, but eh that's just the way i play. Everyone has their own way of winning, & this is mine. All I'd like from online gaming is fair play when warranted. If i win, i won't brag over the mic like some mighty toffee-nosed elitist, if i lose i won't cry crocodile tears because the spamming player spammed to win. It's a game, you win some, you lose some. Whether the masses online will ever grasp that losing isn't the end of the world & winning isn't going to earn you prize money (unless you're involved in an offline tournament) is unlikely, but there is always hope, albeit small.
Play online & have fun, winning or losing. That is the best way to enjoy online gaming imo.
