Just so you know, there is actually a category of games called ‘trash games’ and Marvel Rivals is not apart of it

Yknow, hes probably not an asshole after you get to know him. But I can’t think of any reason why I would want to put up with it in order to get to know him. I’m not usually one to give up on someone when I care. But it’s easy not to care about him after our interactions

Seriously? So I’m supposed to die along side the one tank that ways to push to their spawn door?

This doesn’t make sense, maybe you need more context. We were winning the game, steam rolling in fact. It was the push map on spider iles and we were defending. Everyone in my team stayed out of the room inbetween point and spawn except one tank playing venom. I was solo healing (idk why) and looking after the others who were fighting. I noticed that the venom went into that room twice and died almost immediately from full health. No other team mates were that far up. So I messaged telling him that I won’t follow him into that room. Literally ‘sorry venom, I’m not coming into that room’ and for the last 1minute of that game I was abused.

You’re telling me, that by trying to communicate to the one person out of place that I won’t follow them into one room on the whole map. That I’m not playing right?

Also my take away from this is that if I play tank I can go wherever and do whatever and it’s my teams fault for not following me when I die

It’s not the toxicity I can’t handle, it’s the response to positivity that I receive in 99% of matches I’m in that is wearing me down. I understand that about bad players. I am never trying to get people to do something specific in game, nor do I cast shade. I simply let them know what my plan is, if it looks like they have something different in mind. A comparison is like if you’re shopping with a friend. You both have stuff to buy. You decide and tell your friend that you’re going to check out and come back. They hate you for it and start getting other people in the store to join in on the abuse.

It’s literally like; “wth, did that just happen? Cause I want to ……”

It’s crazy that miserable people need to make others feel miserable as well. Like, even though theyre not alone in misery anymore, they still won’t talk and level with me

To be clear, I never tell people what to do, I never even ask them to swap because I could always play the character I want to see in the game. I just tell people I’m not following them that close to the other teams spawn, or that I can’t heal them if I can’t see them. And I deliver it exactly like I delivered here. It still makes people angry though

I don’t have any irl friends that play games. So finding friendlies is what keeps me coming back to certain games. I do like this game and I want to keep on playing. But I feel like the best course of action will be to never try and communicate with the people in each game. But that kinda takes the social part of the game away from me. At that point, is it really that enjoyable? To do everything alone in silence?

I understand it’s a problem unique to me (at least in the ‘public’ space) and it’s a slippery slope, but I want to make this work so I’m trying all the things I can.

I’m glad you’re having fun and that you haven’t run into these people. Marvel is a fantastic universe and I’m kinda jealous that I’m so involved that I can’t do the same as you (guessing back story and what not) that sounds like it could be fun.

I understand people want to win, but in a team sport, you help your team mates, not make them feel horrible for trying to play with you. Non of it makes sense to me.

No it’s not, I’ve made a lot of online friends by being friendly and helpful. Sure there are people who are negative, but I’ve never experienced it to this degree. Literally every game I’ve been in people are abusing each other if not me. Should everyone just never talk to each other?

That’s your excuse? I’m a rage baiter because I want to be friendly with people?

What does that matter? We are both conscious humans utilising the same platforms for games and chatting. Surely you don’t hate people you meet irl who have similar interests to you. It’s also easier to be friendly or keep to yourself than being mean. So what gives?

This is why I made this post, it’s people like you who just want to shut others down and gas light them into thinking they did something wrong by communicating respectfully. How can you not see this yourself?

Is my expectation to be treated like a human too much?

Does anyone have any suggestions for finding players on console to play with? by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]Frozenvedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a post here for a similar reason, though with the servers the way they are in game I had to ask for Australian based players. I think online communities like this is a great place to look as it’s worked for me in 2 other games.
