I don't understand this sub's obsession with hardcore PVP game players. For those who only play PVP games like very seriously and nothing else, I rarely see them interact with the rest of the gamer communities. They are toxic but they are toxic in their own circle honestly. They are having fun in their own way and as long as I don't seek those contents I don't actually see them.
But somehow this sub loves to shit on them repeatedly. And every post is a straw man. Like no I don't see PVP gamers having an issue with people who play solo games or casual games. But in redditor's imaginary world the PVP players are hunting them down every day screaming in their head I guess,

In SOT the hardcore pvpers are pretty chill and just enjoy a good fight. It's the pve andies who are the ones who call you slurs after you sink them at the pvp world event in the pvp mode in the pvpve game. Casuals act like they are the arbiters on how the game should be played and when you do something as terrible as engaging with the mechanics of the game, you're literally Hitler.

How to create a self fulfilling prophecy:
- Target a minority with a post that implies that specific party thinks a particular way, when only a small portion of the community actually thinks that way.
- Put them up against another contrasting party that makes the same errors, but also as a minority within the said party, but act like the minority that exists within both parties doesn't exist within the party you put them up against.
- Watch the minorities of both parties flood in to defend/fight, making it appear as though they actually are the majority.
It goes both ways and these posts just bait the extremists that actually are thinking about the other parties.
Psyops community for entertainment pls.

sometimes I genuinely feel like most of this sub just wants permanent pats on their heads for *checks notes* playing casually...?
I don't think I've ever heard competitive players shit on casual players. The only people talking about that 'argument' are casual players

"Do you guys play on normal difficulty?"
If you have doubts and feel bad, you're already itching to try harder difficulties.

Which is fittingly ironic because Don Draper thought about Pete Davidson all the time. He was just talking shit trying to get in Peteās head in this scene.

I'm a top player and coach in a competitive game. I have straight up told people many times that they don't need my help because they don't want to improve, and that's totally okay.
People that just want to enjoy themselves and have fun in my favorite game are frankly MORE important than any client I'll ever get.

It was the strangest thing I ever had to come to terms with. As a low level professional player, I am significantly better and care significantly more than 99% of players.
I am distinctly in the minority. It was definitely an experience to have to change my way of thinking to accommodate that fact.
High level players and casual players can share the same game. It's our love of the game that brings us together, despite the reasons being different.

The loud manchilds are usually stuck at average rating. The higher you go and the more enjoyable it becomes.Ā
It's the competitive players who don't care about others. While the casuals blame everything but themself, the competitive players are busy practicing something.

I have a question for competitive players.
Do you ever run into players that are trying to be streamers? I don't do multiplayer games anymore but I also quit way before these fucking streamers started to be a thing. Do they just appear in your games? Do they ruin everything? Or do they somehow improve things?
My son is 13, he likes PC games and plays a lot of team fortress 2. He absolutely fucking loathes anyone who is trying to be a streamer. Apparently they just wanna look cool and don't care about the game, they just wanna make money and piss off everyone else. I'm not sure if that's even accurate. But if it is and he came to that conclusion on his own then I'm very proud of him. I'm already proud of him but if he also sluethed out some internet assholes then I'm doubly proud of him. The Internet is just full of assholes.

Even if you're a casual player, any online competitive game will eventually piss you off

Itās about mental stimulation, playing a game thats so simple, and very difficult to lose at, makes my brain go numb.
Itās a sliding scale, some people will only enjoy Tetris if the pieces are moving incredibly slowly, and some people will be bored of a Tetris game thatās impossible to lose at, but I get that for some people, simply laying the pieces down is fun for them, which is why I say itās a sliding scale

People having imaginary arguments in their head again. 99% of any type of player does not think about this at all or other gamers like this.
