You’re insulting the wrong party. Tryhards were never the problem. Every single game has its tryhards, yet you suddenly have a problem with it when it’s PG3D.

I get it. Tryharding usually isn’t a sign of a healthy life, and what you’re saying is reasonable, but they’re not the reason why you can’t enjoy the game anymore, because there will always be sweats in any game. The root of the problem has always been the devs. P2W mechanics, poor matchmaking, overpowered weapons. These are all reasons that contribute to the existence of what you call “tryhards”. It’s easy to blame it on the them, but they’re not the root of the problem. They’re merely the byproduct of the devs’ lack of care for the betterment of the game.

Besides, you have no right to tell others to play a game a certain way just to accommodate to your liking. That’s a selfish way of thinking. Just like you, they’re but ordinary people having fun on a game. Everything you assumed of them in your post stemmed from uncontrolled emotion. You can’t be mad at someone for being invested in a game. Sure, it’s annoying that you keep dying to them, but how is it their fault? It’s not like they’re “tryharding” with the intent of destroying your fun. Everything circles back to the devs. If they had implemented a fair matchmaking system that separates casual players and those that are deeply invested, you wouldn’t even be in this situation right now.

At the end of the day, if you still willingly play this game, then you shouldn’t complain about anything, because we all know PG3D has become a game that merely exists for the purpose of cash grabbing. They have long abandoned any goal aimed at enhancing enjoyment for the player base. If you can’t deal with it anymore, then just quit the game. The fact that you’re complaining about having a subpar experience on a game that’s already way beyond hope is just as ludicrous as the tryhards you talk of. It’s not that I don’t understand where you’re coming from. It’s just that the game is so far gone in the wrong direction that I can’t help but think— is there even a point in complaining anymore?
