wondermuffin.9680 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'm learning to play engi, so I entered an unranked match. During the match, one of the players on my team afk'ed (score was 220-180 at this point, with us losing). After I had no help during bell where I was 1v3 for a minute or so, I also stopped playing because the game was clearly lost. Two of the players on my team started calling me stupid and that I wasn't offering anything to the team anyway, and after the match one of them whispered me "100 players on my stream are laughing at you and calling you an idiot, congrats!" Then this player proceeded to blocking me before I could respond. I don't mind being streamed without my knowledge, but I am not cool with being made fun of in an unranked match, even if whatever happened during it may have indeed made me look like an idiot. Are other streamers acting this way? Am I just being overly sensitive here? 😓 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multicolorhipster.9751 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Don't worry. It's Gw2 PvP so that 100 players is probably more like 5 of the streamer's twitch mods and 95 viewbots. A lot of the top players who stream PvP in this game are only artificially good anyway, so don't let it get to you. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonidrex.5649 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) pm me who it was, ill afk his every single game untill the end of times. Just kidding tho. or am I ? P.S you cant generalize streamers btw, some are twats, some are not. Some insult to insult and think are superior, some insult as a joke and some do it to vent. and some dont. Stream gw2 pvp =/ good at pvp, and insulting peeps at unranked is just weird Edited May 5, 2021 by Leonidrex.5649 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellesee.8297 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 There arent many gw2 streamers that break 100 viewers. I know for a fact that no pvp streamer that does would say that, or even play unranked. Dude's lyin. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindcircus.1506 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I find it interesting how you admit to AFKing during a match because you are losing and then try to paint someone else as the jerk. 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar.3568 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I don't like that you afk when it is 220-180 its not lost and a kitten head move, that people whisper something like that is not nice either. Don't afk pls, even it's unranked, a match is never lost at this point, not even when it's 400-100 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I afk'ed much later, when it seemed clear it would be an annoying 4v5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit to my own faults, like I said in my original post. I don't enjoy 4v5s where I get farmed, what can I say. Publicly shaming players, whispering them and then blocking them so they can't respond is much worse than being afk in unranked, in a match where you can't get past spawn. Just my opinion, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We must not be watching the same streams because I can think of at least 3 or 4 streamers between the 50 and 100 viewer mark who are constantly toxic and think they are literally the second coming of Jesus. Having an ego about being good at GW2 PvP is like thinking you're some kind of NBA hall of famer because you're the best player at your local park, it's just hilarious.

By that he means the two or three chucklekittens he plays with. GW2 PvP isn't getting 100+ players watching ranked PvP let alone some nonce dicking around in unranked. I wouldn't worry about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect a positive outcome from sharing your thoughts on this, however. The fact is, some players take this much more seriously than others and like coworkers invested in their career, they get angry if they perceive you are holding them back. Your intentions don't matter. The fact that you're playing a game for fun doesn't matter. I expect streamers are more likely to take this game seriously. For some of them, this is more than just a game. It's a source of income. The salt is definitely real. It also wouldn't surprise me if streamers who are prone to raging out and other childish displays tend to float to the top. Everyone enjoys a spectacle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusticeRetroHunter.7684 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I'm on the side of "grow a pair and move on." We all are human, and we all rage at some point at somebody for one reason or another. How you process the humanity of someone determines who you are...are you gonna be the school shooter? Or are you gonna be Rocky Balboa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daishi.6027 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Lol those supposed "100 people" are watching someone pretend to be good at a bad game, by being derogatory to randos in unranked. It's not their fault, the average IQ is only 100, some people are going to fall below the curve. Seriously don't worry about it, despite our social engineering that is at times maladaptive, appeal to popularity is fallacious stance anyways; and let's all be honest here they are barely even considered "people". It's a marvel of humanity that we've circumvented natural selection this much. That said you shouldn't afk, actively letting your team down by quitting is equally rude and should only be reserved as a retaliatory method to teammates being toxic to wards you first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't listen to people who are so averse to taking what they give that they go to that length to avoid it. Guy's weak. Plus its unranked. You're going to find a lot of manchildren, but don't give 'em the time of day. If they act like that, nobody else is either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
