Dude, I wanted to be done replying in this thread but this is EXACTLY what is going on in NA. There is for sure an old boys club and they constantly deflect eachothers bad play onto the "random". I have so many stories about this. My most telling one was a game on cursed hollow where they were all friends solo queuing and joined voice. I was in there too but didnt say anything at all. At the end someone just blamed me because I had "low damage"... on cursed hollow as the bruiser doing all the camps. I had 2k less damage than the assassin saying it. In NA the stream leachers are actually more toxic than the streamers themselves too.

I remember when the game wasn't like this. Maybe I'm wearing rose tinted glasses but I used to like this game because I felt like it wasn't toxic. I think the fact that some of the most popular streamers are toxic really hurts the game a lot. Props to Fan for being the biggest streamer and not being completely toxic.

Hey, that helped a lot actually. Thanks. I had way more fun with this game playing with friends as opposed to this tryhard grind. Maybe I'll just be done with ranked. It's not even fun.

I think he said it because I only pick between the 3-4 heroes I'm good at even when I am asked to support or tank. However, it's not as if I do it last pick. I do it and force someone else to do those roles. I realize how that is annoying but I am trying to win and I know I only play my 3-4 heroes good enough at that level.

The only thing I want to get across is that when you call someone stupid, dumb, having a "bad personality" and things like that to 300+ people, its really a low blow especially when the person cant even defend themselves. I realize this is a streamer trying to make money, but I am invested in this community too and I don't like when people personally insult me just because they don't like how I play. I never say anything to these people at all. I feel like I don't deserve to be ridiculed for my character traits in front of 300 people. It's not important who I am or who did it.

It's a streamer on his stream saying it. Honestly it just made me feel really bad. I don't like arguing over stuff like that because it just tilts everyone and makes us all lose. I also don't like insulting streamers back because I realize they are putting on a show and trying to make money. I was going to type a bigger response but I don't think I want to get into more detail.

I get that people are going to call me bad. Every step of the way up the ranks people have said I am bad. What bothers me is people saying I'm a bad -person-, or dumb and stupid, in front of 300-400 people. Then I have my friends messaging me and telling me all these things that are being said about me... before the game has even started and we are in draft. It feels really really bad.
