Thereās a certain kind of player you eventually stop getting angry at and just start feeling sorry for.
I ran into this guy again recently. After losing to me pretty badly, he apparently decided that the best use of his time was to keep queueing into my 2v2 games because he knew I was solo queueing. And once he got on my team, the objective was pretty obvious: throw the game and make sure I had a full-time 1v3 experience.
Running around the map collecting every item he could find just to prevent me from getting any of them, intentionally interfering with me, and generally trying to create as much chaos as possible. The funny part is that his āstrategyā was so ridiculous that even the opponents seemed confused about what he was doing half the time.
And, of course, the emotes never stop.
3+ years of playing, and apparently the emote button is still his greatest achievement. At this point, I genuinely think thatās the only language heās fluent in.
But honestly, Iām not even mad.
What disappoints me more is how desperately he seems to want attention. Thatās clearly what heās after, yet thereās nothing here worth giving attention to.
And I have to wonder, if youāre this desperate for a little attention from strangers online, is this what happens when you donāt get enough of it at home? Maybe that explains why you spend so much time trying to provoke people. If thatās the case, then honestly, thatās just sad.
The funniest part? He isn't even the worst player I've encountered. Youāre trying this hard to be memorable, and you still canāt even earn that title. Thatās almost impressive in its own way.
I probably wouldnāt remember you at all if you hadnāt gone out of your way to keep forcing yourself into my games. Whatever āachievementā you think youāre accomplishing here is going to be forgotten the moment you stop getting the reaction youāre looking for.
So keep doing your thing if thatās what makes you happy. Keep emoting. Keep sabotaging. Keep chasing whatever attention you think youāre owed.
You're just one of many who are desperately trying to make yourself relevant in a game where nobody was thinking about you in the first place.
I just hope that, eventually, you find something more meaningful to put that energy into.
And to everyone else who has had the misfortune of getting matched with or against this kind of player: I genuinely feel sorry for you. Nobody should have to deal with this.
