Not just OW thing, but generally speaking, you guys noticed how much ego we have in such meaningless thing like an online video game?
I myself learned to play chess specifically to kill that ego because in Chess it’s all on you and your moves. And after that, I have 0 emotional investment in OW or any other game. And that allows me to see how seriously people take this game.
For example, I was playing mercy just for sake of trolling, and there’s this hanzo in a small room, we duel, I kill him. THE ENTIRE match, a competitive match, this guy spent on hunting me. He would literally afk 1-2 minutes in a room, and shoot me from behind. And I would just ping on him, then the team would get him. He was visibly getting madder and madder.
But he would keep doing the same. Shooting me the entire game. The guy took it soooo personally and lost the entire game just because he couldn’t bare with dying from mercy glock.
There are so many examples, like egoistical genjis, who refuse to swap, or people who are about to derank, and they are losing the game and start losing their minds in the chat.
I am not perfect either, but me being a former GM, and now being a noob diamond/master, I feel much happier to play relaxed and worriless.
Not sending any message or trying to claim anything specific here, just sharing thoughts
P.S before you cry, I am actually a diamond/master now. I am not smurfing. It’s just i stopped training aim and playing meta comps, so I deranked naturally.
P.S.S I love how people who definitely don’t have ego problems came here and started to insult me and praise themselves and brag how humble they are. Thank you for confirming my entire post lol
