People who go online and play in the competitive game types and purposefully try to lose are infuriating.
>>320816907
>>320816925
Just because you play differently doesn't mean you are not trying to win
>>320816259
Friendly reminder that "Not playing the game properly" and "Not playing the game how I want people to play" are two different things entirely and this image fails to appreciate that point.
>>320817080
No, if you are purposefully killing your team mates you are not trying to win the game, you are trying to make people angry. You may be trying to win something, but it isn't that game, and it's honestly pathetic. Purposeful feeders are the lowest form of scum in games.
>>320817165
No one was talking about feeders or griefers
>>320816806
>>320816410
How about you play a game and everyone on your team is afk or doing something that doesn't achieve anything.
And everyone on the enemy team is actually playing the game and doing shit they're supposed to.
You of course lose, and then join another game.
Same thing happens, all the time.
Are you saying you won't be the slightest bit pissed off? Because honestly, if you can find enjoyment from that, you might actually be mentally challenged.
>>320817312
>Are you saying you won't be the slightest bit pissed off?
No of course not. I can still play the game I want and have fun. If my team mates actually help me achieve victory, then great! If not, well who the fuck cares? It's just a game.
>he unironically gets mad over video games
truly pathetic
>>320816259

The war cry of the mediocre.
I do play for fun.
I just finished Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and I had fun the whole time.
Why is it so insane that people just play games for fun and not to see how deep they can ram their e-dick down somebody's throat.
>>320817403

I kind of wish reddit won against /v/ in that tribes game.
All these fags saw that and was like "lol i belong on /v/ cause im good unlike my redditfag brethren" without realizing they were just as bad and flocked over here.
Seriously, you clearly didn't read the rest of my post about how if you still have fun while being absolutely stomped into the dirt every game over and over again because your allies are afk, then you're mentally retarded.
>>320817537
Mobas, CS:GO, MMOs it applies everywhere.
>>320817483
Yes, and I don't plan to get any better than average. If I can have fun with my set of skills already, whats the point of improving?
>>320816259
Its never about winning, its about people blatantly being a burden to the team, die once to the enemy?
Sure, can happen, do the same stuff three more times, while your team tells you to be careful, ignore calls and objectives, get mad because you dont get what you want to play?
Just another fucktard trying to be the amazing 1vs1 shitter he saw in tournaments but absolutely fails at it.
>>320817147
Friendly reminder that the picture accurately depicts people who play competitive multiplayer games and do nothing but fuck around, wasting everyone else's time and looking like a retard in the process.

Have you ever played soccer?
Picking the ball up would get you banned from the game.
Much like afking/feeding/teamkilling would.
>>320817594
I'm not saying it's more than a game. I'm saying the type of people who do nothing but shout "it's just a game" are normally extremely mediocre.
I play two games competitively, and enjoy doing so, and people with the kind of attitude /v/ has towards videogames are the people who end up stopping playing because they can't handle actually trying to get better at the game and justify it as they never wanted to be in the first place.

And see, I'm fine with that, as long as you don't try and muscle you way into where people try and play competitively. Have fun all you want, just don't pollute a competitive environment if you don't plan on being competitive.
Too many people do so.
>>320817690
>he hasn't played sports with friends
Like we give a shit. Not following the "rules" 1 to 1 is sometimes more fun than following them.
>>320817664
Fair point, if we're talking specifically and exclusively about people who join ranked lobbies of games and fuck about when they have the option to do the same in unranked lobbies, then you're right that's not cool.
>>320817687
Or maybe you've lost so much that you're used to it?
Normally I wouldn't attack someone's vidya skill in a discussion like this, but I get the feeling that your vidya skills are on par with your discussion skills. Especially the whole taking shit out of context in a futile attempt to sound intelligent when it actually makes you sound like the jibbering idiot that you are.
I'd say GG to this debate, but it was a bg cause I didn't have to put any effort into it. You basically just let me win.
>>320817641
Not at all.
In CS, team is as about strong as its strongest player.
In Dota, reverse is in effect: team is as weak as its weakest player.
Presence of really weak players on your team almost invariantly leads to defeat, and while doing that, also severely limits your options.
>>320817776
It's more
>A is playing soccer on a soccer field along with others playing soccer
>B gets on the field and uses the ball for something else
>A and team get cross at B
>>320817792
You don't get to decide that. But what you do get to decide is who you play the game with. Get friends, get to know people who you know can play as well as you do. Make a premade team with them and enjoy the game YOU want.
Premade teams literally solve every problem
>>320817776
>>320817793
Keep moving those goal posts, I'm sure you're used to that in your outside activities too. My point still stands.
>I'm actually a Tryhard
>>320817707
Yeah okay, I'll admit I kneejerked a bit there. Hiding your failure to improve at a game behind the fact that it is "just a game" as you said is admittedly pretty lame.
>>320817873
>You don't get to decide that
The developer does, most for their competitive match ups literally write "competitive" or similar on it.
>But what you do get to decide is who you play the game with.
I do. I don't play with random people because a lot of them shit up the game. What I can't solve however is opponents who purposefully try and shit up the game.
Nothing is worse than playing a game competitively and knowing you're only winning because the other team as a feeder/griefer.
>>320817809
>Or maybe you've lost so much that you're used to it?
Maybe, I've learned that a loss means absolutely nothing because I can still have fun with the game. I like winning too but I don't mind if I don't.
Games are not about winning, they are about enjoyment. Winning can enhance that feeling but in no way is it a requirement.
>>320817793
you must be very average and boring if you don t want any challenge in life.
If someone grabs the ball on purpose when we're playing football we get to shoot balls at them
Everyone talks about games where they won against impossible odds. However, most people I know give up or play really shittily on purpose if they think the enemy has a ~20% advantage in k/d, territory, player amount, points or anything really.
>Nah man the game is lost no point trying to play just knife me in the base lol
If the game allows it without punishment they just quit or switch server but since devs started introducing shit to keep players in for a full game they just dick around and moan.
>>320817953
>mfw people call me a tryhard when I'm not trying hard at all
>>320817603
you have to guess again who is retarded here moron, cause i only see one retard here that cant understand something that even kids can.
>>320817838
and you came to that conclusion how? cause i see no reason why dota and cs are different in the way you say at all, in both cases you can claim what you did.
>i play competitively
>>320818026
I like challengein single player games
>If someone grabs the ball on purpose when we're playing football we get to shoot balls at them
Huh, we would laugh it off and continue to play the game.
>>320818032
I did not come to this conclusion. It is basic knowledge. Have you ever played dota even?
>>320817953
I never got why trying to win is so demonized by the community. It seems like it's mostly done by people when losing.
>>320818012
Yeah, the main two games I play are MechWarrior Online & EVE, both have a fairly steep learning curve (EVE far more than MWO). However EVE tends to weed out people who don't actually want to try within a few hours.
>>320816259
Not following the rules =/= Having fun
Retard.
I play for fun....
When it's appropriate of course, it's like the difference between a CSGO casual game and a competitive game. In casual, I don't give a flying fuck how good or bad I or my team is playing, if it's competitive, I'll be ultra pissed if me or the team is playing like shit.
>>320818095
>Huh, we would laugh it off and continue to play the game.
Again, you obviously play casually. That's fine as long as you don't try and bring it into a competitive setting and try and force it to be a non-competitive setting. If you did that during an actual match you'd be kicked off the field.
Do what you want in casual games, really if you have fun doing it that's great, but don't force it into competitive matches.
If you only play games for fun I think its time to switch to a different hobby like movie watching where you dont have to think as much
Fucking casual
>people ITT defending retardation
shoving a rook up your ass isn't playing chess, dumbfucks.
it's more like if someone asked you to play Tic Tac Toe, then when you started playing normally they kept yelling at you and saying that all of your moves were softbanned and your strategies aren't tournament viable.
Looking at you, smashfaggots.
>>320818224
It doesn't even because ranking system exists. It ensures that no matter the way I play, I will face opponents just as bad/good as me. If someone knows how to play "the meta" and is actually really good, he would never be on a team with me in the first place.
>>320818301
>and saying that all of your moves were softbanned and your strategies aren't tournament viable.
>Looking at you, smashfaggots.
You don't know what you're talking about, do you
>>320818018
>Maybe, I've learned that a loss means absolutely nothing
Actually I use every time I lose to learn from my mistakes and get better, constantly improving my playstyle.
> I don't play with random people because a lot of them shit up the game. What I can't solve however is opponents who purposefully try and shit up the game.
>Nothing is worse than playing a game competitively and knowing you're only winning because the other team as a feeder/griefer.
So you're basically agreeing with us now...?
>>320818027
>However, most people I know give up or play really shittily on purpose if they think the enemy has a ~20% advantage in k/d, territory, player amount, points or anything really.
I hate this shit.
Especially when people do a surrender vote when we're winning because the enemy team did something good.
And if the surrender doesn't go through? They sometimes just go fucking afk.
All that effort into winning, knowing we will win, and they just fuck off.
>>320818315
Depends on the game actually, but you are right. However even in high ranking you occasionally get autists who get pissed because the light didn't face press his back to kill the guy and will then spend the next drop killing you.
In mech warrior you're even half incentivised to kill your team mates if you think you can win without them because it'll give you a higher match score.
Also games that try and balance large teams by putting both good and bad people on it are a problem in this regard.
>>320818095
Its great for you when you play casual. Just don't get mad when someone is trying to play for the win and calls you out and being a bad player

Ball is not a game; ball has no rules and no victory condition.
>>320818881
It hurts some people with low self esteem. I remember a guy getting super fucking salty over game chat when I called him out for being garbage.

you're fucking retarded
People who play video games to have """fun""" are retarded, immature children. Truly infantile.
Video games are not for """fun""", they are not toys, they are not games. Video games are a complex, adult form of highly skilled intellectual practice. They are not for playing, they are for honing and displaying your skills, reflexes and mental power.
best ways to make niggas mad? beyond 2ez and git gud
:^)
If I paid for the game I'm free to do what the fuck I want. If I don't follow server rules feel free to kick me out, you have every right to do so.
What's so hard about this?
>>320818118
I think there's a distinction between "trying to win" and "tryhard faggotry".
Playing specifically to gain victory, and disregarding how much fun you or the opponent is having is factual faggotry. If you have to use every boring, safe, scumface tactic to net a win then you have some problems, and probably aren't all that good anyway since you can't win playing normally.
