Bashing teammates in ranked battles

[Braak]

I understand it's frustrating to lose a game. We have all had bad games. Some of us have kids and lives and wives that distract ya while we are playing. Don't be that guy who is a jerk because someone makes a mistake or doesn't do what you say. The only way to grow the community and have more people enjoy ranked battles is to have fun. This isn't a job for the average player so please be kind to your teammates and try to give them tips and pointers you have learned rather than berate them because you lost.

[Dictonary]

Of course. Probably teh best course of action is to give tips on how to avoid mistakes. 

[Braak]

The only way you get better teammates is if we spread the knowledge around and try to help each other. Unless you think you can fight every fight 7 vs you.

[Braak]

It just kills me to see a chat go completely toxic during stuff like this. Most of us wait for these things to pop up so we can have fun and test our mettle. No one wants to deal with an a hole who wants to whine and cry about how you don't belong playing in ranked battles or you are too stupid to be playing this game./endrant

What I was saying in a nutshell. I have been saying this like a broken record so it gets tiring sometimes.

Yep. If you want, you can turn off chat or you can report them in-game under "unsportman-like conduct".

I prefer to try to talk them down and get them to see how they aren't helping. But trying to change the course of rivers with pebbles it seems sometimes.

Sorry, braak, but not all of us subscribe to the pollyanna life style.  Some of us prefer to tell it like it is!  And if I'm on a team where the DD play is pathetic, I'm not gonna give them wine and roses and say too bad, get'em next time. 

[mohawkdriver]

This is why I don't do Ranked.  It's too rank...

[Braak]

You don't have to coddle them but be a little helpful . Tell them what you saw so maybe they can do better next time. Rather than swear and curse and make yourself look like a 12 yr old on Xbox.

I'm not willing to be helpful to people in ranked unless THEY ask for it. These are people who I will likely have to face in battles down the road.

 

As for the rest, I disagree. Telling the team that our DD play was pathetic is hardly uncivil or childish.  And if someone tried to claim it was in a battle, I'd tell'em to get over themselves.

If your chat is useless, why do it?  Does it make you feel superior?

Telling people they are pathetic is pointless and illogical. Temper tantrums like hat don't accomplish anything. 

 

If they really are that bad then telling them they are bad is not gonna help because they will just think they were fine and you were he one who was bad.

Trying to talk in-game especially trying to calm down someone only distracts me from the action, F-keys and a couple of minimap pings are enough to communicate with a team.

Venting is rarely useless. Why do you think that being a pollyanna is such a good thing?  To me, I think that it makes you look silly.  But whatever...

Maybe the point of ranked is to provide a queue for that group of people that want to compete and succeed to get out of the pool of all the people that just want to have some fun fooling around. There are other game modes that are less competitive that might fit people better that cant take the game seriously enough for ranked. In ranked everyone on your team sufferers repercussions for anyone on the team not being able to play their best that battle, someone losing the battle for their team is being just as toxic as the people raging in chat.

Do us a favor and dont start a match with your wife or kids bugging you. 

 

While you're ignoring your family your wife or significant other is likely looking for somebody to pay her more attention than you are. Life does not happen. You simply lack time mgmt skills.

[Fletcher7_1944]

  Sounds like a good excuse to troll.  The more you rage, the worse they play!

 

   Me, I've never played ranked and never will.  Life's too short to waste my fun time with people who act like overtired toddlers.  Been that way since I started playing- every ranked season the Cap'n Salty's come out in droves, and the forums are bombarded with rant threads about ranked.  Screaming about this, raging about that...  I'll pass, thanks.

[Wulfgarn]

It's only going to get worse..

[anonym_OlK73e329bMY]

I love ranked. I get to report so many people.

[aAkula]

Welcome to ranked.

I get what you're saying, but the person raging in chat is worse because they are actively trying to make their team fail. Their goal is to distract, and usually it happens after they already died so they're just trying to feel better by making sure everyone around them fails too. It would be worse for their ego if they died and then their team turned things around.

Ranked is really crazy how much you see just bitter, bitter people.

 

We had a guy in an Aoba basically murder himself, and then just berated us the reset of the game as we easily won. Calling the BBs all kinds of stuff because we didn't prevent him from sailing straight broadside slowly from behind an island and getting murdered.

[Abo89]

It's quite hilarious though watching the losing team bicker with one another.  Guy got so made this other guy brought in a BB he thought was sub optimal. I just kindly chimed in and told him that he at least got a kill. The rest of his team proceeded to tell him how burned he just got. It amazes me these people mid match looked up the other persons stats.

I know that some people think that the Dunkerque is sub-optimal.  But in a ranked battle I was in earlier today, a fairly well known unicum (KamiSamurai) was in a Dunkerque and we won the battle handily. Of course, the Dunkerque is pretty good even if it's not the best of the tier 6 BBs.

Oh baloney.  Not all people who rage in chat are trying to get their team to fail. And not all ragers are doing so after having died.
