I play MOBAs and there's a fun mode: ARAM (all random all mid). I'm not even doing that badly and I'll get flamed every now and again. Typically it's from people that don't understand their own role. Sometimes we'll wind up winning and I'll say gg and they'll tell me to kill myself. I'm like geez man, it's just a game
I'm a fan of urf and TT (rip). Really they need to bring back the rotating game modes. Dominion when?
Competitive is fun for many of us, and being on a team with someone ignoring the objective isn't. Ranked/casual split sometimes helps but not often. I miss the old days of self-hosted servers when you could find a place that fit your vibe.
I’m with you here
It’s goes both ways. When I’m playing planetside sometimes i wanna lead squads, directing people what to do where to go, watching the map to ensure victory and collaborating with other squad leaders on a larger scale
But while that can be fun sometimes I want to chill and suicidally charge into a 1v6 against tanks on my shitty little hover bike just for the lols
Edit: forgot to add sometimes a challenge is fun, pushing against near impossible odds, but at the same time it can frustrating so for me it just really depends what I’m in the mood for
I need those teens because my friends are all bad at FPS games and it's less fun playing down to their level. I find the challenge satisfying in a way that silly fun just isn't.
I generally do, my point is that your statement "when they stopped being about fun" is subjective and judgmental. You don't have to like tryhard online competitive gaming but flatly disparaging it is kinda shitty.
When multiplayer games want you to feel normal for winning in the game. Bad for not unlocking everything. Good only when you buy something from the store for more real money.
Try Helldivers 2
If you can get it work and don't care about installing the virus nProtect it is fun. At least until the in-game store upgrades to cash only next year.
Lmao. Check the recent videos about that exact toxicity growing in the community there too.
When any multiplayer game gets sufficiently popular the absolute worst scumbags seem to come out of the woodwork to play. Helldivers 2 was much better when people had a hard time getting in and only the patient (or assholes that didn't log out) were playing.
I'm going to mention a curse word here, but I even watched that happen with star citizen. The community was really great for a long time, then it got more stable and more playable as a typical game and the toxicity started growing and growing. People suck. :(
Sometimes I enjoy some online shooters. Used to play LoL, but it became too meta, too many characters, and lost all its fun.
But when I do play online games, it's almost always with all the voice audio off. Every once in a while I'll turn it on if it seems like I'm on a team that isn't filled with shit talking 11 year olds.
