I get it. Talking trash is a part of competition and getting inside the minds of your opponents, but what about towards your own teammates?
You want to win so badly that when the game isn’t going your way you resort to talking trash about your own teammate who you think is the problem and their performance, or lack thereof, while not being mindful of your own attitude and your own performance? And then you lose and quickly blame that teammate for ‘sucking’ when in fact it was your own poor attitude and lack of respectful sportsmanship that must’ve triggered/tilted your teammate to then perform even poorly, thus, ensuring your defeat?
Who TF do you think you are?
Granted, you shouldn’t let someone else’s trash talk get to you, but the majority, I would argue, will mostly get negatively affected by it and, in fact, will cause performance to drop, SIGNIFICANTLY.
It’s one thing getting trash talked by your opponents, but it is an entirely different scenario/situation, and can have even GREATER damaging effects, when your own teammate does that to you.
To the Players that talk trash on your own teammates:
Again I ask… WHO TF DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
Why would you risk tilting/triggering your own teammate and thus decreasing your odds of victory?
Consider this: it was your own attitude from the beginning that ensured your defeat and not anyone else’s performance other than your own for that matter.
If you’re going to trash talk in-game, trash talk your opponents and NEVER your own teammates.
Players who trash talk their own teammates are the TRUE trash Players so DON’T be THAT guy/gal. Players who trash talk their own teammates and then act like a little ‘B’ word for losing and can only blame others instead of themselves are Players who deal with massive amounts of insecurity.
I get it. Sometimes, the sufferable personal life of the Player can reflect/manifest itself in-game and this place can be an outlet of some sort to release that pain; however (!), consider this beloved Player:
If that pain in your life is going to manifest itself in this game, use this game as an opportunity to do the opposite of lashing out your pain. Instead, challenge yourself to choose the path of kindness and learn how to gain respect in the process. I assure you, this will carry you outside of the game as well and you’ll find that your perception was what needed the change in order to experience joy even in the midst of your suffering.
I get it. There are times when you are voicing out your frustrations because a teammate of yours isn’t carrying their own weight. If this is the actual case then know that there is an appropriate and effective way of doing this.
Choose the path of kindness first and then, odds are, the way you express your frustration to your teammates will be more accepted and can increase your odds of victory. If and when they aren’t accepted due to a misunderstanding of some sort, leave it be, right click and squelch the chat/teammate who has that misunderstanding and focus on your own gameplay. Welcome the emotional challenge of performance in-game that is before you and do your best to surpass your own limits–you will improve.
If you want to explain yourself, by all means, go for it if you have the time. Just don’t stand there when the battle is raging because you’re obviously typing—this can tilt your teammates as well.
There is a time and place for everything so choose, even your words, wisely.
I get it.
You just want to prove that Player wrong, opponent and/or teammate, that you don’t suck and it’s not your fault and, now, you’re in your emotions…Okay…well then…
…CHANNEL THAT DAMN INTENSE ENERGY, GET YOUR HARD-FOCUS ON, CONCENTRATE ON WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO, AND HANDLE IT LIKE A BOSS THEN!! >;0)
The most efficient way to do this when you’re in your emotions is first to press Shift + CTRL + C and hide your chat. Do whatever it takes to get yourself out of chat and just focus on your own game. Do not fall into temptation and open chat up. Wait until the match is over.
After your victory, say whatever you want to say and then feel like the baddest badass about it
;0)
If you still get defeated, then take that blow of humility on the chin like a real Champion and don’t cower from it with your tail between your legs.
Own up to it, move on, and do better the next time.
When I play and an opponent talks trash on my own teammate—even if they are right—I SWIFTLY go out to defend my own and trash talk back at them.
(Don’t eff with my own because, then, you’ll have ME and MY wrath to deal with.
My team will always have a Bro on their side) ;0)
Better to lift up your teammate by showing them you’ve got their back (even though they are sucking) than to let them soak themselves up in that cesspool of negatively charged emotional trash talk.
You want to win?
Be mindful of your own attitude.
You want to win?
Take care of your own teammates by lifting them up especially when they’re underperforming.
You want to win?
Then remember: There is no victory without a team no matter how hard you may carry.
So, you want to win eh? then let me ask you a final time…
Who TF do you think you are?
Because you’re either a good teammate or a bad one and the choice will always be yours and yours alone…
…so choose wisely and handle it.
-Bro (Hanzo)
I’m trying hard to ignore them & finish the match and i believe every match is winnable until i find out during my killfeeds that we had someone chillin’ in spawn or over by the enemy spawn as they watch everyone on the enemy team walk by them, waving hello. You have that much time to do nothing, so go do it irl. Let me rank up faster already!..
