Forums - General Discussion - Salty losers during online play

Tagged games:

Happened to me on FIFA just the other day, smashed in a few goals in the first half and then my opponent quits the game, was in season mode so got the points still anyway.

I like in Splatoon how at the end of the match you get the player stats in your team . That's a good way to cope with a defeat knowing you are the best performer in your team, I often go for personal glory if my team is inept and beyond help.

For Overwatch thats not really an option. Depending on the role, if you where doing good. That's the reason why the team lost. Tanks are an example. If you play as Zarya and you have gold in damage. The team was garbage. Zarya should not have gold if the team is functioning properly. Silver is normal. Bronze depending how fast the match went. The offensive characters should have the gold. Tanks should have gold on objective time and their personal ability stats.



Salty losers were here since long before video games so it's no surprise.

I never mind losing because I always love the challenge. In fact I prefer playing against more skilled players knowing full well I'll lose. I'm sure many of us are also like this :)

The only thing worse than a sore loser is a sore winner. Being upset over losing is normal. Rubbing a victory in someone's face is just a dick move.

That stuff I cannot stand. I will leave at the end of the match weather my team wins or not. There was a match in Overwatch. We lost Hanamura on Attack. Then this guy was being a snarky asshole and was like: I just started playing symetra. He was being an arrogant prick with a character that is primarily spam and no need of aiming. I'm Zarya surviving 5 people shooting at me. While their team just walks 10 feet to point. Same goes if a person on my team becomes some ass. I will tell them to stop. If they don't, I just leave.

I do agree games do need surrender options. Because either way. If the team agrees its not worth the time to continue. They will just stop. I've had in a Overwatch comp match before. Be completly outmatched. We all agreed to just suicide off the map for the remainder of the round. It was a waste of time. Which wouldn't happen if we all could do a majority vote on ending the game.

This sounds like a wonderful way to kill bona fide gaming communities... 

If the MP aspect becomes too one sided. The comunity will die anyway.

We don't want to reward try hards. The best way is to enact a mercy rule. If you keep a wide gap consistently, the rest of the team can leave without repercussions. You get the same rewards and a message saying "Enemy team has surrendered" rather than feeling it was an empty victory.

Yes, I do to. But I don't want to VS people who are smurfs and are really gods at the game, either. Or I don't want to be matched with people who can't function as a team.

That's what frustrates me the most in Overwatch. I'll never rage after someone for having subpar accuracy (mine ain't that good either) but someone who picks Torb when we don't have a healer will drive me up the wall!



Signature goes here!

Yeah. If the people aren't good VSing the other team, that's fine. But if we lose just because of people being all over the place. Not paying attention or do shit like that. Than no. Those people are trolls. If the person is amazing with Torb on attack. That's a different story. If they're not the match is lost. I've abandoned Comp altogether on Overwatch.



Pointless question I have, but purely out of curiosity: why use the term "salty" when you mean pissy?



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Oh man. Street Fighter 4 used to bring out the WORST in people.

I used to get so many messages on Xbox 360 from people whom I beat. So many "Ur a bitch" and "U can't play" notifications. The worst was whenever I got near one of those winning streak Achievements, somebody would quit right before I hit them with my finishing ultra.

If I want to quit, I usually wait till I win a game, because I don't want people to think I'm salty.

That's noble.

Hello everyone,,

I can see why it can be annoying for some, but the thing I've noticed a lot from those that find it irritating is that they fail to notice the other player not having fun on the losing side. They fail to see the equal frustration that the other player is feeling, yet that tiny amount that do just shrug and go "git gud", which never breeds positivity from that kind of exchange.

I'm actually glad that some games out there allow for the player to "surrender" to the other, especially for those that know when they have been bested, but it's unfortunate that those who seek to be "in it to win it"fail to accept surrender as a legitimate option to use when you have been bested. Not everyone loves having their face dragged through the mud, well after victory has been assured for the other player. If I know I've been bested (and I know myself more than anyone else) I'll toss in the towel and move onto playing another match. For those games that offer the use of surrendering to your opponents, I'll take up on said option, for others that don't, well I try to avoid playing with other players and instead opt in for co-op modes or Humans vs AI.

 

Tbh I think most games should offer the option for surrender, rather than opting to look out for one side and not the other (especially when one side is suffering frustration and all the other side can do is just piss all over them and expect no consequences).
