The first time this player dies to me as dva they hit me with “k. zar time. wanna grief. np.”
They immediately swap to Zarya and I do the same in preparation. This is in open qp by the way. They proceed to focus and attempt to solo grav me all game which is normal behavior on its own. It’s the comment that sticks with me, I’ve run into that attitude before. I just don’t get how anyone survives and finds enjoyment in an online gaming environment where they are offended when they are killed. Have you ever encountered players like this, where they make a drama out of every time you kill them or try to kill them? Like total “how DARE you even think to ever try to get an elimination on me??? what is your ISSUE???” vibes.
I managed to sort of enjoy the match, barely… but they essentially won. They made me irritated, that someone else could be so irritated at a first death that’d they’d make a drama about swapping to counter me. I wasn’t “forced” to swap. I could have stayed Dva. But when people act like that I try to mirror them to diff them to humble them. Was that my mistake? Sometimes it works and then I feel better. But it didn’t work in this case and we get hit with the “EZ game after”. It’s just, every day I try to find something about every match to enjoy otherwise what is the point of playing. Sometimes I take the responsibility that it was my own actions of a match that caused me to have less fun. But definitely, players like this go out of their way to make that more difficult.
How do you deal with people like this?
And we can’t forget the “try and keep up try and keep up AW YEEEAAHHH” whenever she ultimately dies to me after I’ve shredded the rest of her team from the comfort of the highground
