Can only speak for myself, but the wonky teams are generally composed for the fun of the one making and playing them.
It's a game, so it's expected some people will try to have their own brand of fun here and there.
Everyone doesn't have to play full meta, this isn't a moba, or whatever other game people taking games super seriously online play.
>>
>>343755378
>everyone should conform to your standards of what's an acceptable way to play
kill yourself retard. the only way to get a shitter to change their ways is kick their ass so hard they start to reconsider their playstyle. those shitters may not be good, but they're clearly better than you and the only reason you think they're annoying is because you're even more of a shitter and get your ass kicked.

If you loose to a tactic it was better than yours, if you didnt its not.
Thats all that counts in a competitive game.

Putting throwaway moves in pokemon feel so fucking good when they actually end up serving a purpose in the long run.

Like putting Sleep Talk on a pokemon for no reason other than he didn't need a 4th move and having it work out fine whenever it's put to sleep, or healing pulse for the heck of it on a Chauncey, but finding out that magic bounce is actually pretty common.
Having a HM slave being a pretty weak link off the team, but just taking some damage while unsure what's gonna happen while sometimes dishing out a respectable amount thanks to his life orb is also a high point of any battle.

It's pretty obvious why one would want to fuck around a bit.
It's just fun as hell, provided your sense of humor leans in that direction.
>>
>>343756154
Yeah just like these "i play for fun" types ironically get very salty when they keep loosing.

"FKN TRYHARD STOP PLAYING AN EFFECTIVE STRATEGY ITS NOT FUN WHEN I LOOSE"
>>
>>343756349
You sound like you just know a particular person who happens to be salty.
Saltyness is independent of playstyle. It's all a matter of personality and mindset.

There's a time and place for this kind of thing
>>
>>343754907
There is a simple truth - did he win?
If so then it's not bad nor annoying, but effective.

You know that quote about not being afraid a guy who knows 1000 attacks, but scared of a guy that practiced a single one for 1000 times? It's the same situation.
>>
>>343756548
Meh i feel the "BUT I ONLY PLAY FOR FUN" thing is in 95% of cases said to protect someones ego. They cant accept they are bad skillwise.
Just as calling someone a "tryhard" is a very silly insult.

Lol yeah okay
>>
>>343756827
Agreed on the tryhard insult being stupid.

Going by the OP, we're talking about alternate, non-meta playstyles though, not people yelling in all caps about how they hate playing the game if they have to put effort in it.

Those people in most cases like their strategy, tactic or playstyle best, and simply refine it despite it being considered a bad choice by the competitive meta's standards.

Think about anyone beating you in a game while "not being better that you". That's what we're talking about.

>stand way out of position
>die to several enemy players because of it

That shit is dumb anon, its people like that who cant grasp they are not playing a 1on1 game.
If you face an overwhelming majority in a teamgame and so alone, you probably are trash, because you positioned yourself badly enough to get fucked up.

Get some team awareness for christs sake or play 1on1 games.

If they beat you they ARE better. There is no "i lost but was/am better".

We agree on that. But OP didn't.
This thread was created with the idea that you could win against someone better than you using a "bad" strategy, and still be considered bad.
I don't agree with it one bit, as I myself got quite a knack for "bad" strategies.
I just felt like we were getting sidetracked talking about fun.

Thats just a silly and unlikely situation.
Most of the time its "stray walks around solo, lacking any kind of map or positional awareness". Other team grabs out stray.
They now force a fight where they have numerical advantage.
The next fight is 5vs4 in the other teams favor.

I wish people like that would stop playing online games. If you are bad, just admit it.

Just answer or imply you don't see the difference at all if he brings it up.
First thing I thought of, and my pal doesn't use that excuse anymore.

He still uses the controller, though.
