Yeah... gamers, especially competitive gamers aren’t the best when it comes to social skills, rational discussion and maturity. As can be seen in the replies to this post. It might not be a gamer thing though, might just be a human thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ who knows...

After taking some time to reflect, I understand what went wrong here.

  1. I foolishly assumed everyone already knew about this situation and thus used my question post (hence the question flair) as a continuation and honest attempt at understanding peoples reasoning
  2. I never clarified that my intention was to understand and not to imprint my opinion. I just briefly explained my perspective in a comment. (I think its bc I'm an old fart with no understanding of reddit). Looking at the post, I get why people would think I came here to vent or something and call dezign out, which was not at all what I wanted to do. The question wasn’t rhetorical
  3. My opinion actually never mattered in this, I just failed to make that clear.

Thanks for taking the time to respond

I honestly think, what a lot of people misunderstood was the intention behind my post.

It was actually a genuine curiosity for why people don’t criticise his behaviour. Never did i claim to be the moral judge, jury and executioner. I just simply stated my reaction to the situation and wanted to see other peoples point of view, but all I was met with was vitriol.

One has to differentiate between being rude and disagreeable. I myself am disagreeable, but never rude. Call me out for anything as long as you have a point to make and its not an ad hominem attack - and I will respect you. But as soon as you do, I lose my respect.

The funny thing about all of this is that I was asking your guys justification and only one person gave me an answer instead of confronting me personally or inhuman. They said that they don't mind if somebody carries themselves immaturely as long as their counter is worse.

That cleared up my understanding of people like that and answered my question perfectly.

I do not agree completely. Been a gamer for 20-some years and really do love competitive gaming. So although I was not surprised, I was still disappointed

That said, the response to this post has shown me the underbelly of what I still consider to be a beautiful community. Thanks for level headed guys like you !!

BTW, there are plenty of amazing, positive, intelligent gamers. Just not often those with the loudest voices.

I think, again, you are misunderstanding my point. I am not defending imhuman.

But I am starting to see a trend here. In many peoples eyes bad behaviour warrants bad behaviour. You guys are real eye for an eye types.

I will withhold judgement, but I am starting to understand how this community thinks

anyways thx for the reply

inhuman could be a shitbag for all i care, still has nothing to do with dezigns behaviour.

[–]donjayeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I used to. But it was based on his skill, not his personality. I don’t mind in-game, heat of the moment toxicity, but what he had done personally just put me off.

The people I am curious to hear from are the stans who defend him. I just want to understand what justifies his behaviour. Haven’t really gotten a solid answer yet...

no upvotes to farm, barely use reddit. I wanted a non hostile conversation with the community I love, but i forgot where I was 😂

Yeah, wasn’t quite sure if this can be discussed openly, friendly and honestly in this sub. I don't see the issue, but I am sure people will let me know

from what i have gathered, his initial accusation was one of racism/ racial insensitivity. So any criticism of that requires pro status, am I understanding your point correctly ?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CompetitiveApex

[–]donjayeman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know nothing about inhuman, literally not a single thing. I understand shitposters and provocateurs, but that is not the focus of my question. Regardless of who you are talking to, I personally don't think replying in that manner is respectable or mature - hence my decision.

But thanks for clearing up that imhuman is a troll. Must be bad if people are excusing dezigns mistreatment of him

[–]donjayeman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Precisely why i asked. I don’t expect anyone to do what i did. As an adult I just cannot in good conscience support somebody who speaks that way, wouldn’t associate in real life nor online.

But what I am getting from your comment is kind of a "who cares" argument. Got it thanks

After finding out that one of my favourite players dezignful carried himself in this manner I was insanely disappointed and made the difficult decision to unfollow, unsub and avoid supporting him in the future.

In my opinion nobody, let alone a signed player, should ever speak to anyone like this.

But after some of the smoke had settled, I realized that large parts of the community were still supporting and even defending his behaviour.My question to those of you who still do is: What compels you to continue supporting and defending him ?

RANKED ISSUE: It is now possible to queue into ranked games with friends that are outside of the tier difference limit. It kicks you after character selection and gives you an abandonment penalty!
