I think the stigma that gets passed around of the queue being filled with bullies 24/7 is actually more harmful than those try-hard players themselves.
I could play against someone new(ish) to PVP with three mediocre pets, but if I execute my game plan exactly right, that person will look back at the loss and incorrectly assume I’m running OP pets that they just don’t know about yet. All because they’ve heard horror stories about good players exclusively running the best of the best.
I’ve said it before, this is the calmest the meta has ever been. Let’s not turn the queue into some haunted house full of demons.
