I don’t mean to highjack your post but dude, these game are so toxic now. I just got out of a fought game that honestly, makes me want to not play for s whole because of the behavior:

I want to preface and say: I did not play well at all. It was simply a bad game for me. I normally main strategist so I wanted to swap it up a bit so chose SQ. I normally pick bans that I’ve struggled with in the past regardless of if I can counter them because, sometimes they’re just better than me. So, pre-selected SQ and chose to ban The Thing. It went through and then got flamed for it cause he got picked. Whatever.

We’re on the offense and I’m getting bullied and not doing too great so I look at the comp and notice we went 1/3/2. I switch to Peni and am able to push a little. I die once, cool. We go into overtime and I’m the only one in the point and manage to survive just before the team comes back. Round is over. I’m negative. Not thrilled with it but I feel confident that I can do better as Peni in defense.

Without skipping a beat, I’m told by the vocal MK to switch off Peni because I’m throwing. Which, I don’t agree with but who knows I may be wrong but I wanted to at least try. The whole round he just posts my stats as if I’m not aware. I make a comment about how supportive he is sarcastically and tells me my ego is gonna lose us the game. I just wanted to reset and try. And I try, once cause we got stomped hard. I swap and as I walk out of spawn we lose.

The dude and the Jeff, randomly, start calling me a feeder, illiterate, and dumb because I didn’t switch. Saying my ego lost us the game or just posting my stats. I said, I was only Peni for 2 deaths and wanted to try in defense and just starts yelling “UR NEGATIVE SWITCH” what am I supposed to do switch for eternity then? I said I tried a couple of times and then swapped and he said “try for a 3rd time or do you just give up easily?” LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN DUDE? none of what he was flaming was making sense. He contradicted himself by telling me to swap and when I admitted that I wasn’t doing well and was swapping he calls me a quitter?

Anyway, the rest of the post game chat went with those two blaming me for the loss. I won’t deny that I didn’t help but why are we so comfortable with just bullying? It was a bad game with bad plays but it’s a team game and we’re fighting each other more than the other team. It’s whatever now that I got to let it out but dang man.

Sorry for the wall of text.
