What is with all the ELO ego?

[AkatsukiSwag-1360]

RIP me. Sorry bout that

[rhainsict-1418]

All g homie.

You may see him as an upstanding community member but I’ve seen him harass and discredit others. He’s cleaned up recently and that’s fine.

But supporting the behavior of thinking ones self superior when compared to their peers is just as toxic as the online bullying.

It perpetuates a negative attitude towards other players who have just as much right as any/everyone else to play the game for their enjoyment.

Being in average ranks is not a bad thing. Thinking being average is bad, is toxic. It’s a video game. Not everyone is required to strive for perfection.

@SkullBuzz-11855

think he is above the rest.

@AkatsukiSwag-1360

And this.

@ƕlĸ-2818

i play like a god and what do i get for it?

Yeah, I agree….

He definitely doesn’t think himself superior.

[ƕlĸ-2818]

@AkatsukiSwag-1360

Because he’s not. He’s an equal member of the community with their own opinions just like everyone else, and no one deserve getting consistant rude posts directed at them.

Thanks I appreciate the support!

@SkullBuzz-11855

Hulk is one of a the few players on these forums who managed to escape low elo with his sanity still in tact.

I lost my sanity a long, long time ago…

I’m never the one who instigates. I just defend myself after I’ve been personally attacked.

Don’t know, don’t care, don’t really like you slight_smile

You engaged me first.

But go off champ.

[ƕlĸ-2818]

@rhainsict-1418

You engaged me first.

Correct. Where did I make it personal?

@ƕlĸ-2818

Previously everyone was saying that it’s actually harder to climb now because everyone else is supposedly better than before. So which is it.

[rhainsict-1418]

I didn’t make it personal. I expressed my experience with interacting with forum members.

[ƕlĸ-2818]

@rhainsict-1418

I expressed my experience with interacting with forum members.

You did so in a clearly inflammatory way:

@rhainsict-1418

Don’t know, don’t care, don’t really like you

It was off-topic and non constructive.

[rhainsict-1418]

Perhaps you just took it the wrong way.

[ƕlĸ-2818]

I see, of course.

It wasn’t just more of the same targeted bullying and harassment behaviour that myself and others have experienced.

I will leave Akatsuki to make up their own mind.

[rhainsict-1418]

I don’t really care.

My experiences stand. There are people I enjoy engaging with and others I absolutely do not. And letting people know about it is my obligation.

[ƕlĸ-2818]

@rhainsict-1418

And letting people know about it is my obligation.

You have no obligation to let anyone know that you dislike them. The ignore function exists if you feel you are unable to carry out a discussion with that person in a civil manner.

[Flo-26348]

He did not insult you. He did not use any profanities to describe you. He did not use curse words.

Saying I do not like you is the most polite way possible to tell someone you actually do not like them.

Your pretend insensitivity and emotional matureness that even cannot level with that of a 5 year old is your problem alone. Not his problem, not the problem of the game or anyone elses problem.

And yes this here was an insult. But in a more of a “polite” way, a polite way where profanities were not used directly.

The only difference between you and him is that he is not cunning the way you are when he uses his words. That is left up to people like you, who smile when they give you gifts but stab you in the back.

[ƕlĸ-2818]

@Flo-26348

Saying I do not like you is the most polite way possible to tell someone you actually do not like them.

Why is it necessary for him to tell me this?

Does it add to the discussion in any way?

Or is it another attempt to instigate?

@rhainsict-1418

You may see him as an upstanding community member but I’ve seen him harass and discredit others.

Do you believe such a comment would be made by an upstanding community member?

@Flo-26348

Your pretend insensitivity and emotional matureness that even cannot level with that of a 5 year old is your problem alone.

In what way is telling someone that you dislike them mature behaviour or productive?

Hes being transparent and upfront, seems pretty productive to me. Everyone knows where they stand and no unnecessary time of any party is wasted.

I thought transparency was the most desired suggestion as a ways to improve the matchmaker.

[ƕlĸ-2818]

@basil-22323

Hes being transparent and upfront, seems pretty productive to me. Everyone knows where they stand and no unnecessary time of any party is wasted.

I already know that he dislikes me. It is absolutely unnecessary to announce this.

How does it add to the discussion?

If he [doesn’t] know and [doesn’t] care he is not obliged to reply. This is a public forum so other people can join in the discussion if they wish to.

[basil-22323]

You are not the only participating party, so it adds transparency like I said. You seem pretty upset about a stranger’s opinion of you, why does this bother you so much?

[basil-22323]

@ƕlĸ-2818

If he [doesn’t] know and [doesn’t] care he is not obliged to reply. This is a public forum so other people can join in the discussion if they wish to.

Well, yes but you tried to initiate a conversation which he declined by simply stating that he doesn’t like you enough to engage in this particular discussion, lol

[UgandanF16-1460]

@AkatsukiSwag-1360

And this

Almost every single high elo player went through low elo. Wtf is ur point?

Also he’s flat 3k LMFAOOOO and ur deadass calling it high elo

@SkullBuzz-11855

Hulk is one of a the few players on these forums who managed to escape low elo with his sanity still in tact. A true role model and beacon of hope for the future of this game and community. Someone who climbed yet isn’t afraid to be honest about matchmaking flaws or think he is above the rest.

What i wrote above

[ƕlĸ-2818]

@basil-22323

You are not the only participating party, so it adds transparency like I said.

It does not add anything whatsoever. It is not necessary for the other participants of the discussion to know that he dislikes me and/or doesn’t care.

@basil-22323

You seem pretty upset about a stranger’s opinion you, why does this bother you so much?

I was accused of harassing others.

I defended myself by saying that I am not the one who instigates, I simply defend myself. I then provided an example.

This is relevant to the thread because we are discussing the bullying and belittling that goes on in this forum.

@basil-22323

Well, yes but you tried to initiate a conversation which he declined by simply stating that he doesn’t like you enough to engage in this particular discussion

I don’t like a lot of people but I don’t use that as an excuse to back down from a debate or refuse to back up a statement.

If I have no interest in engaging with them then I simply do not engage with them.
