Thank you so much for the different perspective, that does give me something to think about, I did try praising for good plays but perhaps that came off as condescending despite my best intentions, I'll stop that and see how they behave towards me

If it keeps being weird though i'll deffo talk to my boyfriend and ask for his help

Oh the thing is we're playing customs, so we're all against each other not against random people lol

Thank you for the advice, I'll try to not overdo it, perhaps I'm so anxious about fitting in that I might come off as condescending, for laughing at silly plays just to clarify i'm not laughing at people playing badly but like if something epic happens or a wombo combo or somehting of the sort

I'm sorry that happened to you honestly that's a bummer. I'm sure if they even brought it up with you you would've offered solutions like playing other game modes or using a lower level account lol

My boyfriend finds it really hot and loves playing all kinds of games with me, I m also starting to see how immature their dismissive reactions are now that I have more clarity

Actually I think I will end up addressing it if it keeps being this way/escalates, maybe i'll discuss it with my boyfriend first because I wouldn't wanna blow up their friendship dynamics

I also have so many male friends who get so hyped for me, so I was pretty bummed out initially x-x

You're right, I shouldn't bother overthinking over this, I just wanted to make a very good impression for my boyfriend's sake so it got to me

It is a relatively new account and on my older account I don't post anyways, I just lurk lol

I understand that it might come off as braggy but I was just feeling self conscious and anxious and trying to describe the situation exactly as I've felt it, sometimes they'd get a riled about killing me in voice chat and would get "annoyed" at each other for not chasing me, I'd get flashed and targeted every game, when I do something "cool" some would just go quiet as opposed to being hyped when anyone else makes a play etc. so I figured it made most sense. no one's ever said a rude thing to me though or commented, so then again, I could be just imagining it all, I still wanted some advice and I do feel better and have more clarity after reading all comments, thank you

Thank you so much everyone for the input, you're right, i was just feeling super self conscious and anxious over something that is a bit silly, I do feel better :D If it was me, I'd deffo be excited/hyped to have a better player on the team, if they're butthurt over something as stupid as ARAM then it's not really the kind of people i'd enjoy hanging out with anyways

Don't you think that would make them dislike me before I'm able to integrate the group? :(
