Triggered....

Ok, so I just got triggered big time.

 

I really would love to name and shame in spite of the rules. I am that triggered.

 

I went back and watched the replay. I am hanging up the [edited]game for tonight because I am holding back from being a complete [edited]from my rage. I am a bull who has seen hostile movement right now

 

Picture it. Ranked battle, I am not having my best game. Within the first minute said player who will trigger me starts spouting how Ranked battles bring out the wallet warriors. He also starts abusing a Fubuki who may not have been having his best game either. There are pesky DDs hurling torps in my general direction, there is a Tirpitz that I am trying to avoid showing my broadside to while shooting my full salvo into him because he is offering my his broadside.

 

My shots are connecting to the enemy tirpitz, but not penetrating the citadel. Meanwhile this "sailor" is still hurling abuse at the friendly Fubuki. Let me just say that if I was playing a DD, I would not have positioned myself at the back of the team, but then again, a Pensacola should not be doing so either if you ask me. Both were as guilty as each other however in the heat of battle I was too focussed on trying to hit my targets and not die while doing so.

 

After about 10 minutes I do end up telling him to shut up not impolitely because his incessant banter is getting to me and distracting me. I had a Pensacola,Tirpitz,and Myoko on my 8-9 o'clock, a Benson on my 11 o'clock, and another Benson on my 2 o'clock. Said Fubuki was 10Km from me: almost half the distance to the "friendly" Pensacola, who was facing away from where the enemy Kiev was last seen, about 17Km distance from him, so still not exactly within the best shooting range and he is screaming out that he can not support nor carry the team and we are all shitlords. 

 

At this point, I snapped. With 08:05 left on the clock I died after eating a Benson torpedo salvo. I had killed him 7 seconds earlier, and was turning to where the other Benson was to focus him when I ate the torp salvo.

 

I may have let out an utterance and then admitted my mistake- but hey now I could spend a little time focussing on said "hero of my team" who was still spouting abuse from the back. Oh but he "got 2 kills" and resorted to name calling. The enemy team chimed in with the ever helpful bad advice of kills not mattering. We are in a ranked battle- every kill does matter even more so, but other actions also count and those are not easily visible- even post battle- and they are a contributor to the victory just as much as knocking a ship out of battle.

 

The enemy team then also copped the "crapteam" despite them out playing us on almost every level. If I was in a random battle, I would have simply chosen to block his chat messages, but doing that in a ranked battle is a stupid Idea in my opinion. there is always a remote chance he could have passed information that might have helped us fare better instead of him distracting us

 

In the post battle results screen- He is definitely not the worst performing on the team: he out performed all of our DDs in base experience, but that is literally it. Every other ship class that participated beat him by a noticeable amount. I had personally gained 202 more base exp than him, AND I obtained a high calibre that match, so while my kill count ended up on 1, I am pretty sure I was doing more damage than he was.

 

I finally snapped big time. I went onto a true WoT rampage on him via PM in port. I was not overly abusive, just telling him he had no grounds to start calling everyone else on the team a scrub when he was not exactly breaking his back carrying the team and that perhaps he would have performed better if he spent less time typing useless insults and chatter in the team chat as well as global chat. 

 

The thought then occcurred to me that maybe he had an off game. So I did the one thing I despise the most: I checked his stats. HE IS A WORSE FRIGGING PLAYER THAN ME in general.

 

anyway, I am gonna get off my soap box now, I can not post the stuff in the thread obviously, but I will supply a zip file with the proof and after battle chat

I re-iterate: I had a bad game, my team had a bad game, but his attitude is one of the reasons why I grew to dislike WoT after 4 years

Welcome to the Internet.

 

I went through 4 years of this on WoT, but one can only take so much, so I left, fouind other games, got bored of them and came back here.

 

I have also had a great day up until this match. I played almost no random battles but I shot through the ranks from the bottom 22 to 13. It was a satisfying day overall even if once I hit Tier 7-8, my performance lagged.

 

I just got triggered by this one prick and it ruined the rest of my day on me.lol

Only one bad game spins you up like this?  Try four in a row with comparable teammates.  Add to this the inevitable "Another sh!t team", or similar remarks from one or two of them and you have the same toxic gameplay that is seen in WoT.  I just try to do my best in spite of the morons out there, and I'm talking about the team bashers.

Chat abusers are annoying.  But you can ignore them. We all get sucked in though from time to time and the stakes of ranked battles just stoke the fire.

 

Thats why im on the fence about WN8 being included in wows.  I like monitoring and caring about stats.  Using them to strategize in game. But god forbid a know it all sees he has better stats than somebody.  Everyone in the game will lnow about it before during and after he dies. Uggg

its hard to say what made the trigger so sensitive.

 

Perhaps going down from 75K average damage battles in my New Mex until I could not play it in Ranked anymore to the paltry 45K average damage and worse in my Tirpitz because I cant afford to fully upgrade my only other Tier 8- the North Carolina after having just bought it and selling my Co to do so. I went from having games where I was calling my shots, and deleting ships to struggling to do meaningful damage with my 380mm guns.

 

Or it could have been time to stop for the day anyway

To your comment about WN8; I feel that incorporating WN8 into WoWS would lower the game to the same level as WoT.  It always goes to dique measuring.

If it was a Random Battle I would have simply ignored him.

 

However ignoring and blocking messages from him in a ranked battle is kind of like having a conversation with music playing through stereo headphones at 50Db. Perhaps that is what greased the trigger. I was trying to keep alive and checking every 4 seconds when the chat updates only to find abuse being hurled at my team from someone who was also furthest from most of the action distance-wise in a ship that struggles at those ranges he was at last time I looked at the paper stats of his ship is just too much in a game mode that is supposed to be taken seriously

 Yes it does. I used to hate it when people would abuse me for having average stats despite my 60 performance being on the upturn and having to fight off 8K matches of me not performing so well. So what made me go and do the very thing I hated being done to me

The worst part about players like that, especially in a small-team ranked battle, is that they spend the whole game typing instead of paying attention to the game.

thats exactly what I said to him: Perhaps if he shut the [edited]up about moaning about his team dying and focussed on the ships that were killing us the results may have been different

 

Yeah- I was not polite however I was not rude or particularly abusive either

It seems that it is mostly below average players who do this.

Yesterday one DD was raging how all players on his team are cowards and wallet warriors. That he is tired of loosing because of us. His win rate was 47% over 500 games.

 

(We won the game anyway)

This very true.  They hate their teams because they are totally dependent on their teams to ever win a game.  They have no control at all over their own stats.  And as soon as they have a game with 2 or more kills, they think they are the best players in the world.

1nc, when people say that kills don't matter, they mean it in the sense that they don't matter as an individual stat.  Kills only matter for the good of the TEAM!!!  It does not matter who gets them as long as they're gotten.

Need to replace one of the F(X) auto-messages with your own message that basically says:

"In ranked battles, no one cares if you think the rest of the team is weak or how great you are.  Clear the channel unless providing USEFUL information, and spend your time killing red ships instead of typing.  Save the juvenile e-peen comparisons for after the battle.  Thanks."

 

Then hit that at the beginning of the match, and re-apply as necessary.

 

Will it help?  Maybe not, but at least it won't distract you much.

I'd say use the mute function they just put in,  But you can see how good that works;

Also, the Pensacola doesn't have Torps, so you got nailed by something else.

I swear I said that the enemy Benson torped me. The one ship I put down in the game put me down in return. The Pensacola is the one that was triggering my rage. But I am awfully tired now, so I'll correct my post later

 

And I would have chosen the ignore function if it was a random battle. This was ranked- as in muting him would only reduce the teams ability to communicate with me. A bad idea for teamwork

 

You guys will find all the replays and screenshots in the original post anyway. Even though it was a bad game for me- this Pensacola was not making it easy for me to calm down and concentrate on the bigger picture of the battle
