Why don't you play online (more)?

Well, a large part of it for me is just social anxiety. I don't like being around people I don't know, much less playing a game with them.

Aside from that... I dunno, I just really like the feeling of loneliness. That probably makes me weird but it's true. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
I pretty much play exclusively online, actually. the biggest thing I look for in a game is online capability and preferably PvP modes. I love online shooters such as Overwatch and Team Fortress 2.

I find it a lot more fun to be in a mumble channel with my friends and making jokes or talking strats as opposed to playing solo for the storyline. unless the game is really good, that'll bore me.

Much the same.
Don't play many games these days, used to go for online games that are playable with friends. battlefield, dota 2 etc.

Pokemon is one of the very few offline games I play.
Recently played Until Dawn though and that was very enjoyable.

If people constantly complain that they cannot enjoy online multiplayer because of always having ****ty teammates and toxic people in their team all the damn time, they simple suck at the game and should just move out respectfully and silently, since their opinions don't matter when they suck dick and use their lack of their ability to win as an excuse of why this game has a poor community bs.

You are the kind of toxic player that turns people off said games. Do not understand your need to spam profanity either. Grow up, get a life and stop taking games so seriously.

Cheers. Bravo. High Five. Sloooooooooooooooooow Clap.

If you were streaming anything, I'd give you a donation, and put that donation into a step stool so you could stand on your stove, so you wouldn't have any trouble cooking up some posts that actually make sense.

Also, that's quality talk coming from someone more boosted than XiaoWeiXiao's ELO Boosting services. git guud fella. You have a lot to learn.

Anyway:

While online gaming such as multiplayer will always be fun for me, especially when i consider the ever growing playerbase in most of the games that I do play (League, Overwatch to name a few), there's always that mystery that i like. Who are going to be the next few opponents and next few allies that I'll be dealing with. Its something that I will always enjoy and learn from.

But of course, salty toxicity is something that we have all dealt with and to be fair, at times the bigger challenge really is for one to not become salty and toxic themselves and still keep a fair and reasonable mindset. Like i always said, Dumbass players do exist, but the better question really is that how would you manage and still win your games with them. As much as I enjoy online multiplayer a ton, I do get to run into these matches where i have to deal with 3 or even more people acting like a bunch of brain dead monkeys. Sometimes, you just have to play better.. even if it means giving these brain dead monkeys that you call "teammates" a win that they don't deserve because at the end of the day, you still win and carried that game like a real fckin Alpha Male/Chick, and that's what matters more than anything at that given moment in time.

of course, if I get que'd up with the same brain dead boosted monkeys again in a 2nd game, i gladly queue dodge since i would rather spend the next few minutes doing more productive things than having to deal with the teammates that pissed me off.

Okay moving forward, I do want to play more MMOs for the mean time. I mean, as much as I still love competitive multiplayer like how a father would love his own son, sometimes, i just love to sit back, relax, and engage in some more immersive things with people. After all, MMORPGs was actually a thing i had back in high school, before i got serious into competitive multiplayer, and just going on with some adventures with some people who i may befriend is just as entertaining.

I agree, it is my fault somebody simply decided to intentionally throw the game by running it down mid, telling the enemy team where our team is, griefing, feeding couriers, and w/e else you can do in multiplayer games just because he died once or twice.

I just need to git gud and suddenly become 1000x better than I actually am just so I can carry the weight of all the raging kids when against opponents that are equally as good as me.

Another thing i would like to point out that the other bad thing about online gaming nowadays is that a lot of boosted kiddies think that trying to act like their favorite streamer is going to be cool and help them land more p**sycats and b*tches. Sadly, no.

And for the love of Arceus, if you have friends who are Tyler1 fanboiz, please tell them this. You don't have to quote me, heck its better if you don't. Just tell it that you heard it from someone who has been into every level of salt and flame:

Running it down mid just because your teammate secured a kill that the player was unable to earn efficiently and skillfully doesn't mean that you earn the right to intentionally feed. Heck, EVEN TYLER FCKIN1 KNOWS when something is a KS or not.
